The two Armed Merchant Ships quickly prepared to sortie, but they did not blindly take off.

Both captains were highly experienced. They first asked the ground whether there was any chance to take off.

There was no official reply from the ground at all. Someone merely shouted themselves hoarse, "Their firepower is fierce! Be careful!"
