But today, they faced the Longspear Guard, who were equally fierce and unafraid of death.
Spear formations were used for defense, especially in narrow corridors and passageways, where they could unleash devastating effects.
The difference was too stark. When a few spears thrust out, the Pirates had nowhere to escape and could not attack with their own weapons.
But some Pirates directly threw their hand axes or took out muskets they had already loaded and fired.
For a time, the melee resulted in casualties on both sides.
Yet no one retreated. They had to protect their loved ones behind them and offer the blood of their enemies to their Lord.
Loyalty!!!
However, the battle on the deck was a one-sided affair. What good equipment could the Pirates possibly have? All of them wore light armor or no armor at all.
And for Boudica, those were perfect targets.
Seeing the Pirates, she excitedly grabbed her weapon and charged forward, breaking away from her team.
