A total of four ships emerged from the coastline.
Leading the way was a ship with a black and red color scheme. Its crest, resembling a hand of molten lava, marked it unmistakably as the Hand of Burning Blood. Alka looked carefully and saw that, aside from some damage, the entire ship was relatively intact.
The three ships behind were not as lucky. One of them had a brown and white color scheme, with a pattern on its sail of a knight's lance piercing a shattered skull. This symbol signified smashing pirates, and the ship belonged to the Skull-Crushing Knight Order, a team led by a female captain specializing in combating pirates. The ship showed obvious signs of damage, but its overall structure was still relatively intact as it closely followed the Hand of Burning Blood.
