"This is bad, another pirate ship is approaching," someone observed anxiously after casting a quick glance behind.
As the pirates closed in, the barrage of long-range attacks dwindled. The pirates didn't want to accidentally harm their own men with stray arrows.
"Those bastards are ruthless! So many of their men are dead, and yet they charge forward like lunatics."
Du You was stalled from performing further offensive archery due to their reckless assault. Instead, he put away his longbow and unsheathed his longsword before charging into the fray.
"That's him! It was his arrows that killed a few of our guys."
The pirates recognized Du You because of his blatant performance. But once they clashed with him, they regretted it as Du You's skilled swordplay taught them a harsh lesson.
"Dammit, I thought he was an archer. How come his swordsmanship is so proficient!"
