have long been the way of life for high-sea pi -<br />
r<strong>at</strong>es Klaus Stoertebeker and Goedeke Michels.<br />
Endless conquests on the North and Baltic seas<br />

is finally forced to face his future: Wh<strong>at</strong> now<br />

Michels, the flaming full-blooded pir<strong>at</strong>e is inev -<br />

weapon lifts their spirits and reignites their bond<br />
– but the mighty Hanse has also stocked up on<br />
its weapons and the so the final b<strong>at</strong>tle nears …<br />
