Counterattack
When the pirates were divided, they were easy targets for Samiel and his entourage of Holy Templar Knights and Priests. One or two pirate crews couldn't match the might of the elite troops of the Hall of Kadath.
Unfortunately, this time, the numerical disparity was too huge just to ignore because this time, they were meeting probably more than thirty thousand pirates and that was just an optimistic guess.
'If we use everything we can in order to weaken them before they get close, we can cut down their number approximately by 40% to 47% at best... realistically speaking; it should be around 44%, which is good...'
Though, even if they managed to bring the numbers down, it would still leave them with more than fifteen thousand pirates of various Tiers, all of them rather powerful Professionals on their own.
