Very soon, the air forces left the scene.

But all this time that they had been observing the situation below, those on the ground had also noticed them.

To be precise, all they saw were small shiny dots floating up in the clear night sky.

The glowing tiny dot instantly caught their attention. 

What the hell were those?

.

One of the pirates was about to take a sip of rum but paused, looked at the sky and then looked at the rum in his hand again in displeasure.

Sure enough, he was wanted for the first time in a long time.

If the younger pirates realized his situation, then wouldn't his reputation plummet down?

Dammit!

This rum would be the death of him.

Still, something has to kill a man.

So if it was alcohol, then so be it... But not to the point where his pirate reputation was destroyed.

He glanced at the sky again and decided to pour the rum onto the ground.

But before he could do so, someone else exclaimed, indicating that he too saw the tiny glowing dots.

'Phew!'

Luckily, he wasn't the only one or he would've really thought that he was going mad.

"Look!

There are tiny fireflies in the sky above!"

"Tsk!

What are you talking about?

How can... Eh?

F***!

What the hell is going on?"

"Heh!

You new bloods are just too ignorant.

I've seen this before.

It's the sign of a new dragon being born!"

"What???!!!

A dragon child?

Are you sure?"

"Of course!

Those fireflies are dancing in the sky to celebrate the birth of a monarch somewhere in this world.

Such a person must be as powerful as all monarchs put together.

He's basically a darling of the heavens!"

"Damn!

What lucky brat is that?

If we kidnap the child one day and sell it, how rich will we be?"

"You fools!

Rather than selling, why not keep the darling child of the heavens to ourselves?

This way, won't the pirate organization be indirectly blessed as well?"

"Ah!

What you say makes sense.

But how do we find this dragon baby?"

"That's the easy part.

I know all about it, so leave it to me."

"Awesome!

As expected of the Bookworm Saku who has read over a thousand books.

Please guide us, Bookworm Saku."

.

One should know that the hot air balloon thing only became public a few weeks back.

Literally, the coronation ceremony was on the 2nd week of August, Lucia and the other Zalipnians came on the 3rd week and now, they were on the 4th week of August... Just 3 more days before they stepped into September.

So there was no way that these pirates would get the news this fast.

It would take months for the news to leave Baymard to here, so it was impossible for them to identify or guess what those tiny dots might be.

For them, it was just a rare manifestation in the sky.

And all sorts of theories came up within all 3 camps scattered around the island.

Some thought it was a sign from the heavens, while others thought it was a group of special birds in the air, like how fireflies lit up.

After all, they didn't know all animals and creatures in his world, so it was highly possible.

None of them had ever thought that it was an enemy team monitoring them.

In their minds, man couldn't fly, so that thought never crossed their minds.

How could it?

Marlo also thought of it as some strange phenomenon too which strangely piqued his interest the more he watched.

'Ratcliffe.

What are your thoughts?"

"My lord, I think it might be some living creature, most likely strange birds that are in the process of migrating and preparation for winter.

We might never have seen them because we rarely come to this island.

But if my lord desires them, then when we back to our base, I shall send others to locate them and catch a few for you, my lord."

"No need.

I just find them a little fascinating, that's all.

After all, it's not every day we get to see a glowing bird, no?"

.

Just like that, the pirates tried to find the mystery behind the strange glowing dots in the sky.

Meanwhile, those on the ships were busy piecing out all the information that they had received.

They had till 12:30 Midnight to properly strategize, suit up with their wetsuits and get ready for action.

Because just as planned, by 1 A.M, all forces should already be on the shores of Magoon Island.

Time once again passed by swiftly with everything getting finalized.

Some teams would infiltrate the pirate crew bases, others would focus on the forest territory, while others would hide around the shores too.

Of course, the air forces would go out once more.

Apart from throwing bombs if necessary, they would also keep an eye on the direction in which the enemies ran towards.

For sure, there should be several secret hideouts around the island.

So the air force will be their eyes on the ground and report all that they saw.

Also, since the battle had fully commenced, all 8 Navy ships will strategically position themselves around the island in a circular manner ensuring that no pirate snuck away.

At the same time, they would also attack all those guarding the pirate ships that are docked on the shores.

They had to make sure that they tied up every loose end for tonight's show.

.

"Go! Go! Go! Go!"

'Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!

The air was tense and everyone's emotions were high.

They hurriedly made the way towards the lower levels of the Navy ships, lining up according to groups and getting into the many underwater boats there. 

Landon, Lucius and Mitchen also made their way towards the boats fully suited up in their wetsuits.

There were 3 pirate crews scattered around the island, so they will lead 3 main teams towards each site.

Of course, they also had several squad leaders under them because when they got to the enemy's base, their massive teams would undoubtedly break down into smaller teams and match towards all buildings on site.

With that, several underwater boats left all 8 mighty Navy ships secretly.

Landon smiled broadly while looking at the fascinating underwater creatures that passed them by.

Tonight was bound to be a bloody one.
