"Qin Mo... Your Highness, how come there's... a ship here? Could this be the location of the Elven race's new royal court?"

"No, that's my fleet!"

Qin Mo said with great pride that he had only given Chen Ji specific coordinates and a simple route description. He never expected that his expedition fleet would actually round the Cape of Good Hope and reach Cape Town, a natural harbor.

Amanda held the binoculars tightly, reluctant to put them down. Even though her eyesight was good enough to see the Eastern faces on the large ships, she still held them up close to her eyes to examine them closely.

"This is a telescope. As the first mate on my ship, you can have it!"

Amanda only handed the binoculars back to Qin Mo when a fast frigate raised its sails and sailed toward the sling. Qin Mo generously gave them back to her.

"Bang!"

A cannon shot, meant as a warning, struck Qin Mo as a warm welcome. He raised his flag in perfect form and said, "I am Qin Mo, paying tribute to the brave explorers of Dayuan!"

There was an uproar on the frigate, but when the captain and first mate, who were holding binoculars, saw Qin Mo standing alone at the bow, they immediately ordered the helmsman to turn and sail alongside the sloop.

The officers and sailors, dressed in neat uniforms, lined up on one side of the frigate, solemnly saluting, their eyes filled with admiration.

In just a few years, the fleet of ships from Dayuan was discovered at an incredible speed. A few months ago they were still in Dayuan, but now they are sailing thousands of miles away. All of this is due to the person in front of us, His Highness Prince Heng of Daxia!

The sloop was fast, but the crew of the Da Yuan Pioneer Team was even faster. When Qin Mo arrived at the Cape Town temporary dock, nearly three thousand crew members and soldiers had already lined up.

"Welcome, Your Highness!"

"Welcome, Your Highness!"

The unified shouts of thousands of people echoed throughout the Cape Town harbor, startling countless seabirds and even the vampire duchess Amanda.

"Your Highness Qin...Mo, are they all your subordinates?"

"Of course! They sailed tens of thousands of miles from their hometowns to finally arrive here; they were all courageous pioneers!"

"...Can we really sail directly to Great Xia?" Amanda's voice trembled; this was absolutely a historic discovery.

"Of course! You'll be able to reach my castle in a few months, but don't tell anyone else!"

Amanda froze for a moment. She wanted to tell her "mother," Prince Isabel, immediately, but she didn't want to betray Princess Qin Mo, whom she had sworn to follow.

For a moment, the vampire duchess stood there, her face full of conflict.
