You didn't need to be Fan Hyulick to know the fortress and the pirate fleet were doomed. They were pretty stupid and conceited people: Being succesful at piratism certainly doesn't equal to being succesful as a regular military fleet. Kind of funny Fan didn't mention that to them.

It was good to see the little princess wasn't just the actress of random cuteness moments but actually will play some part in the plot. She certainly has more courage and spirit than her broken dad.
