After the emotional moments he shared with his family, Ethan deeply felt the strength of the support he had in King Marlon and Queen Nyla's decision to take action. Under the leadership of his father, King Marlon, the palace soldiers moved like an iron wall toward Blackbeard's territory. Though Ethan was not part of this powerful army, he felt the conflict between the excitement and fear within him. On one hand, he was confident that King Marlon would return victorious, but on the other, he was engulfed in anxiety about the brutality of war.
Led by King Marlon, the army began to advance with a strategic plan. Blackbeard's ship had withdrawn to the far, dark corners of the sea, and King Marlon frequently consulted with his admiral assistant, who had years of experience in naval battles. As the admiral assistant carefully examined the maps in his hands, King Marlon kept his eyes fixed on the horizon, reviewing every possibility. Known for his intelligence and strategic abilities, Blackbeard was a pirate not to be underestimated, and King Marlon was determined not to overlook any detail.
That morning, the sea's cold and dark face seemed harsher and more ruthless. The Royal Navy advanced silently toward the area where Blackbeard's ship was located. The sun had not yet risen, with only a faint light on the horizon signaling the impending battle. The mist rising from the sea drifted like ghosts among the ships. King Marlon felt the gravity of the moment, casting a final glance at his soldiers. Each one was a courageous warrior, seasoned by years of experience, but even so, there was a faint shadow of concern on King Marlon's face.
At King Marlon's command, the navy moved into action. As the ships advanced silently toward Blackbeard's vessel, everyone held their breath. King Marlon closely monitored every movement of the fleet. Blackbeard's ship stood in the middle of the sea like a giant monster; the black flag flying above it declared the inevitability of the battle.
When Blackbeard appeared on the deck, a cruel smile was on his face. While preparing his crew for battle, he wondered how much resistance he could muster against King Marlon's strategic intelligence. However, King Marlon's navy moved faster and more effectively than expected. As the ships began to encircle Blackbeard's ship, for the first time, Blackbeard felt cornered.
As the Royal Navy approached Blackbeard's ship, the soldiers prepared their hooks and ropes. Within minutes, the brave warriors of the navy began boarding Blackbeard's ship. The clash of swords echoed with the roar of the sea as the battle erupted in full force.
King Marlon controlled the situation in the midst of the battle with all his attention. Despite Blackbeard's fierce resistance, he began to weaken against the discipline and determination of the Royal soldiers. Seizing the moment, King Marlon gave his soldiers the final command to attack. Blackbeard fought like a cornered lion, but his strength was waning.
Finally, Blackbeard's ship was completely captured. Though he still held his sword, Blackbeard had to accept defeat. King Marlon walked toward Blackbeard on the deck of the ship. The two leaders looked at each other in the midst of the battle; this gaze represented the contrast between two different worlds. While Blackbeard symbolized freedom and chaos as a pirate, King Marlon stood for order and justice.
Approaching Blackbeard, King Marlon said, "This battle ends here, Blackbeard." Blackbeard responded with a hard expression. King Marlon's soldiers quickly captured Blackbeard and his crew, binding each one securely, though there was still an unextinguished fire in Blackbeard's eyes.
Turning from the ship's deck to his soldiers, King Marlon declared loudly, "Today, we have won a significant victory for the safety of our kingdom and the peace of our people. The courage and resilience you have shown are a great source of honor for our kingdom."
The Royal Navy transported Blackbeard's ship and the captives back to the kingdom. During this journey, the defeat experienced by Blackbeard and his crew made the kingdom's victory even more meaningful. As the Royal ships approached the palace, the jubilant cheers of the people filled the sea. At the palace, King Marlon and his soldiers were welcomed in an atmosphere of great triumph.
After the quiet and peaceful moments spent in the palace gardens, Queen Nyla and Ethan learned of King Marlon's victory. This news somewhat alleviated Ethan's fears. King Marlon's victory had become a new beacon of hope for the kingdom's future. Queen Nyla touched Ethan's shoulder, saying, "This victory heralds not just the end of the war, but the dawn of peace."
Blackbeard's capture marked a crucial turning point for the kingdom. This victory not only defeated the enemy but also secured the kingdom's safety. Following the victory, King Marlon began making new plans for his kingdom. The future now seemed brighter. Queen Nyla and Ethan, ready to leave this challenging process behind, prepared to step into the future with hope.
