Battles with the Pirates
The third ambush of the pirates caught the inhabitants of the Empire off guard as this time they attacked first. The atmosphere in the palace became heated to such an extent that even the chill of the evening could not cool it down.
- I simply can not comprehend it, - exclaimed the Empress, seeking advice from her advisors, - What are these pirates trying to achieve? What was the purpose of attacking the East Island?
- I am afraid we are unable to reply this question, Your Highness, - said Grammith throwing a meaningful look at Tolgar, - at present the restoration of the fortress’ defense is of utmost importance. Lets cross our fingers that the prisoners will not join them.
- Though Feurlis insists that pirates were not the cause of the prison upheaval …
- That is what happened the last time. There are far too many criminals in the prison, we can not be 100% sure that the pirates did not come to rescue some of them.
- Please allow me to lead the operation, - Tolgar finally intervened – I know the coastal line like the palm of my hand, not a single pirate will slip away.
- Your determination is very much helpful in times of need like now, Tolgar – The enemy will be defeated both on the land and sea, - concluded the Empress and the meeting therefore came to its end.
