After merely one strike that destroyed an escort ship, Karina and Rocky claimed victory in this great battle!
Faced with Karina's blunt yet straightforward final ultimatum, the bandits chose to surrender when even their chief and flagship had fled.
The bandits weren't fools; they understood there was no possibility of victory on their side. In this decisive battle, the addition of the Thunderhawk had already put the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group at a disadvantage with one less major warship, and before the battle commenced, the Thunderhawk sank another escort ship, bringing the tally of major warships to 5:8.
5:8.
With only five major warships, the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group was up against eight warships from Rocky and Karina's fleet—the disadvantage was so obvious it didn't need stating. Moreover, the fleeing Kilov took with him one warship, which happened to be the strongest flagship of the entire fleet.
