The Golden Rat Pirates, though few in numbers, had overwhelming combat prowess, and they slaughtered every soldier defending the harbor with brutal efficiency.0

Once the port was firmly under their control, they raided the supply warehouses.0

“T-They are insane…!”0

“Wait… were they really pirates all along…? I thought they were spies sent by the Allied Naval Command?”0

The pirate captains in the distance were utterly dumbfounded by what they were witnessing. The Golden Rat Pirates had mercilessly bombarded and raided a coastal city instead of a small coastal village filled with nothing but fishermen. 0

This raid wasn't a small raid at all. To make things even more shocking were their target; they attacked a port city belonging to the Lamda Kingdom, a powerful kingdom that was a member of the Navy Alliance.0

This was a city so fortified despite its size that even major pirate crews dared not touch it. However, the greenhorn, Captain Francis de Drake, and his crew had mercilessly bombarded it?0

This could only mean one thing—Francis de Drake and the Golden Rat Pirates were not spies after all.0

Why? 0

It was all because there was no way the Navy Alliance would sacrifice a city of the Lambda Kingdom just to prove a spy’s loyalty.0
