In an instant, the spirits of everyone in the merchant convoy tensed up; Wang Luomiao and Faang Jinghui immediately stopped talking and looked up toward the lookout tower.
On the lookout tower, the deputy lookout was methodically waving flags, relaying messages using flag signals.
"Pirates attacking?" Faang Jinghui's face changed, "Which group of pirates dares to raid even our merchant convoy?"
Wang Luomiao's expression turned icy, and she immediately made a series of deployments and arrangements based on the number of pirate ships indicated by the flag signals and their attack direction.
As the flagship, the "Luomiao" turned to face the direction of the pirate attack. On its deck, all twelve Divine Power Cannons were loaded and ready for battle.
All non-combat personnel hid inside the cabin, leaving only the Black Tortoise cultivators with combat capability and household servants and generals trained to operate the Divine Power Cannons on the deck.
