A massive black steel wall abruptly emerged above the ocean, blocking a third of the sky.
Charlie staggered backward repeatedly, landing hard on the deck. When he looked up, he finally saw clearly—a steel warship loomed before him.
Waves roared with overwhelming force, nearly overturning the Pathfinder.
Then came thunderous booms, exploding in his ears. Black cannon muzzles spewed fire, and shells whistled past overhead.
Clutching the railing, Charlie strained to look ahead and saw, 300 meters off the starboard side, another warship engulfed in flames under the sunlight, billowing thick black smoke.
So they're not aiming at us… Damn near scared me to death.

"Torpedo alert! Torpedo alert!"
Mogred's shrill screams pierced through the ship.
