Pirus and his men looked at these worthless slaves in rage.

F***!

These bastards weren't scared of their wrath at all!

Micheal examined each of them and smiled broadly.

"Hmm... so, we've finally caught you all.

But don't blame these men for saying anything.

Because even if they didn't, we would've still been able to catch you all." Micheal said calmly.

Pirus squinted his eyes in confusion.

How?

In his mind, his disguise should've been flawless.

But of course, not to these marines.

Firstly, his skin and that of his men weren't as bad as that of the slaves.

His lips weren't cracked and even though his shorts looked worn out, it was still in a good condition when compared to that of these slaves.

Again, their overall body proportion showed that they were warriors and not paddlers.

The slaves were only trained to work their arms and row.

So they were really skinny below their chest region.

But for warriors, they trained their overall body to be able to run during battle and so on.

So their calves were thick and their bodies were typically well balanced.

In short, they focused on overall training.

From running when hunting in the woods, to attacking bandits, enemies and so on... warriors had to keep fit in every aspect.

So the contrast in body shape alone gave them out.

In short, they were so many signs that could have been pointed out.

But time was of the essence, so motivating and using the slaves was the shortest way to go.

.

Pirus quickly grabbed a slave anxiously.

And of course, his men also did the same too.

"Listen here, you lowlifes.

Since you all value their lives so much, then quickly drop us off on Arcadina's shores immediately.

And when you drop us off, don't follow us anymore... or I can't guarantee the lives of these worthless pieces of trash when we leave!" Pirus said, while literally strangling the tired and frightened slave that he held onto.

"Sirs, don't do anything rash.

We will do as you have said." Micheal said while casually given out some hand signals to his men.

Of course, Pirus just thought that he was anxious for the safety of these slaves instead.

"Stop talking and see to my demands now!"

"No problem sir, my men will get on it right away.

Marines!

You heard the man, do as he says."

"Yes sir!" With that, Pirus turned around to see some of the marines leaving the room.

Good, it looks like they were really going to inform their big boss of their conditions and take him to safety.

"Sirs.. please let them go.

They are innocent."

"Innocent?

Hmph!

They deserved death the moment they decided to betray me!" Pirus said arrogantly.

And as Micheal distracted Pirus, some of the marines secretly shot several tranquillizers at their backs and necks.

'Thup!'

Pirus and the men continued talking back at Micheal.

But soon, they felt that something wasn't right!

Why did their body feel so heavy?

And why was the room sort moving on its own?

They wobbled for a bit before releasing their captives.

And just like that, they fell to the ground in one swoop.

'Bam!'

'Zzzzzz--'

The sounds of people snoring made the slaves so shocked and confused.

Were these people so tired that they couldn't even finish threatening the Baymardians before taking a nap?

Michael quickly took out his Walkie Talkie and reported the overall situation to the main battleship.

And after that, he quickly gave out orders to the rest of the Marines.

"Alright!

Now that all enemies are down.

Squad 1 will aid in freeing the slaves, Squad 2 will assist in taking the enemies away."

"Yes, Warrant Officer Micheal."

Great!

Now that everything was over, the squads quickly got busy.

Of course, they weren't too worried about searching the ships for money, information and treasures because once the Coast guards haul these enemy ships away, then everything will be properly searched in the base.

.

And so just like that, the teriquen force had been utterly destroyed by the Baymardians.

Additionally, the Navy was glad that their battle 'Scenario 2' had turned out just right.

Well... before coming for battle, there were many scenarios or possibilities that came to mind.

The first possibility was the entire army would surrender.

Of course even though they knew it was highly unlikely, it was still good to give it a shot.

Again, their 2nd scenario was attacking the enemy without sinking any ships which could really save clean-up time.

And their third option was to sink 30~40% of the ships if they were really in a pickle.

They didn't know how many ships would be coming their way, so they had to have the option of sinking some of these ships.

Fortunately, they could handle the number of ships that came towards them this time

So they didn't need to sink any one of them.

But, if it was like a real size empire fleet consisting of 300 or even 700 ships.

Then they would've definitely sunk then down.

The enemy had underestimated them, so they didn't need to go that far to deal with Nopline's fleet.

Also, now that they knew that slaves were paddling these ships, they felt very glad that scenario 2 had worked out.

Imagine sinking these innocent men?

.

The battle didn't last for long and ended around 3 P.M.

The prisoners were quickly taken away by the Navy and marines.

And the several Coast guards hauling ships had quickly arrived at the scene and hauled the ships away as fast as they could.

Of course, some other Coast guard ships came over and released massive thin nets that caught all wooden particles on the water's surface.

These ships focused on cleaning up the Ocean's surface immediately.

Everyone out in the Ocean, as well as within the Navy base were all extremely busy.

They worked relentlessly to tidy up the scene so that Baymard's Sea Port could be open to visitors again.

And just like that, the battle had come to an end.

Landon who had just gotten word of their victory, calmly smiled and drummed his finger against his table.

Now that this battle was over, it was time to aid King Micheal and his family in getting the throne back.

That's right!

It was time to put an end to this Nopline character once and for all.
