章 186: 184, Lafayette's store

Before setting off, Francis Drake instructed only one thing, "A few pirate leaders, you must send them to Notruden; that's our military achievement. The rest is up to you."

Charles still hadn't figured out how to delay for a few more days.

Nor had he figured out how to discreetly get rid of Chatham.

He hadn't expected that James Cook and Francis Drake had no intention of taking him away, not even the pirate crew, wanting only a few leaders.

He agreed immediately, with utmost sincerity.

After all, with Chatham's six pirate ships, he was only one ship away from completing the maze-ification, the two had helped him enormously.

While Charles was relieved to have escaped one calamity, he was also deeply concerned that the mobilization of two of the Inglima Empire's navy flagships, Magical Alchemy Warships, could not possibly be for a trivial reason.

He just hoped that James Cook and Francis Drake's actions were not aimed at the Fars Empire.
