Not long after Ella's fleet began to return, the two ships sent to Calabria to investigate were rushed back.

"Here you come back?" Ella was surprised and happy. "How about it, are there any enemy troops stationed in Calabria?"

"Yes, and so many! They saw us from afar and caught up without saying a word!"

The pirates on the boat were gasping for breath. They rowed desperately along the way, and their clothes could be wrung out of water. In addition to sweat, their clothes were covered with blood.

"He caught up directly? Didn't hesitate at all?"

"Yes, there was no hesitation at all! I just came here!"

The pirates' words once again verified Ella's speculation. If this fleet had not contacted the capital of the Island Republic, the pirate kingdom would still be the Allied forces of the Island Republic in their perception, and it would never be possible to pursue as decisively as the pirates described.

"But their ship speed should not be as fast as yours, so they can get rid of it easily, right?" Pocarios asked, "Why did it be like this now? Why did they return so late?"

However, the pirates did not respond to Pocarios' question at all. Pocarios had to seek Ella's help with his eyes.

"Are you ambushed?" Ella asked.

"Yes, ambush! They sent two ships to chase us, and just as we turned the bow, we didn't run long after another ship rushed out from both sides." The pirates nodded repeatedly, "They were too cunning. They had noticed us a long time ago, but they deliberately hid us and put us in, and surrounded us like a pocket!"

"This is not called cunning, it is called tactics. What you fight in war is tactics. You have to think more about it in the future and don't just think about fighting and killing."

The pirates' words made Pocarios smile. He was frightened by Ella several times, and this time he finally found some places.

"The two ships in front block the road, and there are two ships behind them chasing them? I remember that the ships in the Island Republic carries between eighty and one hundred and forty people, and there are at least three hundred people on these four ships!" Amy hurriedly handed the pirates a few kettles filled with water, "How did you come back?"

When the pirates on the boat saw the kettle, their eyes shone and rushed to drink. Until they finished drinking the water from the kettle, they wiped their mouths and thanked Amy, they said, "We can't think of any way, we can only fight hard. After chopping for a long time, they cut all the enemies to death."

"What are you kidding?" Pocarios shouted, "You two ships have less than sixty people, and the enemy is five times more than you! It is a blessing to be able to escape. They are all cut to death? You will be dealt with by military law in this way!"

"Five times, that's the sum of four enemy ships. If it's just one ship, it's about the same people as our two ships."

The pirates gestured in the air with their hands.

"When we saw that the situation was wrong, we could only rush hard. The enemy came from both sides, and we all went left, stared at a boat and jumped up and chopped. First, cut the helmsman to control their ships to prevent the other three from approaching, and then cut the soldiers on the boat one by one. After chopping, jumped onto another boat and continued to chop. After chopping two boats, the remaining two enemy ships of the enemy leaned up and we couldn't dodge. However, because there were only two left, the enemy who jumped up was only more than twice ours, and the space on the boat was small. We cut for a long time and finally cut them all! Some enemies didn't have time to chop and jumped off the boat and ran away. We also tried to dive into the water and chased, but the chopping of people in the water was not good, so we had to let them escape!"

"What does it mean to let them escape?" Pocarios felt his worldview collapse. "You are the ones being pursued, right?"

"We were chased! As soon as we cut down the four ships, the enemy's large army caught up! It seemed that there were tens of thousands of people! We didn't have time to plunder the spoils and jumped back to our ship and ran back! It was so angry that we cut it for a long time and it was slashed in vain!"

Ella listened carefully to the pirates' reports. From these words, the Navy of the Island Republic is far less terrifying than the fleet commanded by Andrea. Moreover, in order to pursue more than 60 pirates, the commander on the opposite side gave such an order.

"What else is there in addition to these? Do you have any information?" Ella continued to ask.

A pirate slapped his head: "Ah, by the way, there is another living person who is lying on the boat and pretending to be dead. After we found out, we tied him back as a spoil! We'll bring him here!"

Soon, the pirates pushed a soldier from the island Republic with a panic look in front of Ella. Pocarios rushed up happily and slapped the soldier several times: "Why are you stationed in Calabria? What are you preparing for? What are your intentions? I will honestly explain! I have a reward if I agree. If I don't say it, I will remove your hand first, see if your mouth is still hard!"

"I said, I said, I said!" the soldier replied in fear. "We were panicked when we learned that the capital was surrounded, but the general told us not to worry. He said that we had received a notice from the Governor, asking us to garrison in Calabria and wait for the opportunity."

Pocarios slapped the soldier again: "Tell me clearly, what time should I wait for?"

"I, I don't know. The general is also afraid of information leakage. Every time the messenger comes, he will receive it secretly!"

"You really don't know?" Pocarios waved at the pirates, "You hold him down and remove one of his arms!"

"I really don't know!" The soldier whose body was suppressed by the pirates shouted at the top of his lungs, "Ah...yes, by the way, before you come, the general has already asked us to set off, as if he has received a combat order from the governor!"

"So that's it." A pirate suddenly realized, "No wonder they couldn't catch up with us, so they fell in a direction and headed all the way there!"

The pirate pointed his hand northwest. Pocarios almost fell directly from the ship: "This is the direction of General Olus's garrison! They set out in front of us? In this way, the enemy has been setting off for a day! I can't catch up!"

"It may not be impossible to catch up. The enemy is waiting for a long time in Calabria. It is probably because it is waiting for an opportunity. It may not be the time to set off now, but it is likely that the time is approaching. If so, before that time really comes, they need to keep a certain distance from the Olus fleet to avoid fighting, so they will not sail at full speed. We still have a chance."

After analyzing the current situation, Ella looked up with a serious expression and ordered:
