The fleet of Count Hawker was attacked by at least six small pirate groups.
With the help of the three fleets of Whitley barony, Bruce barony, and Bernard barony, the situation of encircling and annihilating the small pirate groups was formed.
It was a perfect time for this middle-sized pirate group to show up.
The noble fleets in the melee couldn't form an orderly formation.
Generally speaking, in the artillery battle, the energy core warship would stand in front and try to protect the weak but powerful assault warship, which could effectively reduce the loss.
However, it was difficult for the fleets in the melee to do that.
Therefore, this middle-sized pirate group had destroyed twenty assault warships after the first round of shooting!
Sixteen of them belonged to the aristocratic fleet, and the small pirate group also lost four of them under the same situation.
Even so, those small pirate groups were still desperately attacking Ayeraupu.
