�Dionas?�

�Probably so, but it has not yet entered territorial waters.�

Poine said.

�If you aimed, you got it right.�If you get caught later, you can get away with it.�the problem is���

�why�?�

Sirone tilted her head.

�Your conversation with Arachne must have been over.�Why did you come to this distant sea?�And that�s such a large army���

There was only one thing I could think of.

�I had no intention of negotiating with Arachne from the beginning.�

�I think so too.�Arachne intends to loot all the treasures she carried as tribute and pretend otherwise.�It�s a pirate-like idea, but���

Poine said softly.

�I don�t think this is a strategy to be used against a powerful country like Arachne.�Are you sure about something?�

�Micah�s Relics.�

It was the first thought that came to mind.

�Please run the evacuation program.�Then, at top speed, we�ll keep the civilians at bay.�We have to finish it before the enemies get within range.�

�I will try.�

The captain raised a loudspeaker and shouted.

�To all passengers aboard the ship!�It�s an emergency!�Women and children, except for trained pros, board the A7 boat immediately.�Repeat!�

While the people were going aft, Sirone and Poine reached the head of the boat.

�Miracle Stream.�

As the smoke of light gathered and turned into a huge lens, ships floating in the distance were seen.

�It�s an armed ship.�

The moment Poine muttered, smoke rose from one of the ships and cannons fired.

�what�?�

It was too far for the shells to reach, so Sirone got out of the lens and checked it in person.

An extremely fast object was approaching in a direct trajectory, as if ignoring even gravity.

�Beyond the speed of sound?�

The fleeing people looked behind them and pointed to the sky with startled eyes.

�Cannon, artillery!�

Before he could even finish his words, Poine blocked Sirone�s path from an approaching cannonball. JrNovels.com
