You never know when a ship will appear on the sea!
The huge waves washed Sean's warship to a small unknown place... It looked like a shallow sea. If it was not a shallow sea area, there would be no buoys.
At this moment, the soldiers came to report that they saw a ship heading towards this side.
It looks like a merchant ship, and a commercial fishing boat. From a distance, you can see a large net dragging at the stern of the ship, and there are slingshots and javelins on both sides of the bow for catching big fish!
Sean asked someone to call the other party over.
When we got closer to the island, we saw about six or seven people standing on the boat. They were all strong men. Usually, this kind of fishing boat is operated by men, and they were staring at the people on the island with "curious!" eyes.
This fleet originally had over a hundred people, but some were killed in the charge against the pirates, and many more were lost in the waves. Now, there are only about thirty people on the scene...
But even though they are small in number, they are still a well-trained navy, and their presence is still terrifying to ordinary sailors.
"Who are you?"
As they got closer, the workers on the ship shouted in response.
"We are the navy from Jagun. We were hit by the storm during the battle with pirates. Are you local workers?" Marlowe stood up and answered as the general of the army.
"Jagun's navy!"
Sean watched as a group of people on the boat bustled about, signaling the boat to dock...
………………
It was impossible for all thirty or forty people to get on board, so Sean had to lead several witches and soldiers including Frelia and Lucille to board the ship first, while Marlowe and others waited behind for the next group of boatmen to come and pick them up.
On the boat, Sean asked the boatmen about local news.
So this is the land of Kserk...
In fact, a large part of the territory across from the coast of Adak is the territory of Kserk, which is considered to be the country with the longest coastline on the southern continent, and their city is called Yalanburg.
Although it is called a fortress, it was the name of a coastal defense line in the past. Now it has become a big city. They have also heard something about pirates. They are the main information transmitters on the sea. Sailors from the two places often exchange intelligence, which is then gradually passed on to the ears of the people through merchants and tourists.
If it wasn't official spy intelligence, the public would usually only know about it a long time later...
"It is said that the tribute sent by Emperor Xerxes to Jagun was robbed by pirates. The Sun King was furious and ordered the navy to pursue the pirates on the sea. It is said that it was led by the returning Prince Sean. It is estimated that the pirates are finished this time." said a sailor.
For those who work at sea all year round, elimination is actually a good thing for them. Although they are unwilling to be too involved with the country, without pirates they will be a little safer, which is a very cost-effective deal.
"The general should be the navy sent to fight pirates."
Ordinary people would never have seen members of the royal family or come into contact with the nobles of Jagun, so when they saw Sean, they just thought he was a general.
"Yeah," Sean replied.
"You're really unlucky. The weather at sea was good these past few days, but last night a huge wave blew up. This time it blew you here, but those pirates must have suffered heavy losses."
"They've been wiped out," Sean said.
It is indeed not easy to connect the specific events in the two timelines mentally. It may take several days to get used to it... In his heart, Sean kept telling himself that the current moment was the second day of the pirate suppression.
"All destroyed!"
"Yes," Sean replied affirmatively. "We've stormed the pirate's lair and brought the great pirate, Rocks, to justice. Although a small group of them escaped on a ship, they encountered the same rough seas as we did. Whether they're dead or alive, I'm afraid you won't hear from them again for the next few years."
"That's great, General. This will benefit all the fishermen and ship merchants at sea."
The boatmen were very happy to hear the news and worked even harder.
Send Sean and the others to the port...
In fact, the distance is not far. If the warship had not been stranded on the island, it might have been blown to the port if it had moved with the wind.
Yalan Fort.
It is also a big city with a port, and it is not small in scale. It feels no less than the city of Lewis more than 20 years ago.
"By the way, is Lewis City far from here? I heard that it is one of the most developed ports in Kselke." Sean said suddenly.
Just these words drew the [contemptuous! ] gazes of the crew, even Lucille was attracted.
"What? I said something wrong."
"General... the story of Lewis City being the largest port probably dates back decades. When I was little, I only heard my elders talk about it. However, after the alchemist Master Kedao, who managed it at the time, was sentenced, the city's economic center shifted."
Has Kodor been sentenced?
Sean left early in the timeline so he didn't know what happened later. It turns out there was such a thing.
It seems that a lot of things happened in the Kserk Palace afterwards. There must have been a big purge, which led to Kodor being sentenced!
In Sean's opinion, the other party was just a person of power, but he was the most suitable person to be a subordinate in the factional struggle... He was the kind of person who had no problems and was just trying to make a living. He was not forced by the situation to hurt others at the cost of his own life.
If that's the case, it's very likely that Hogheim's faction fell later!
"So that's how it is."
"I don't know much about Doxelke..." Sean said a little embarrassedly.
Who knew that a city would be ruined in just twenty years?
"But speaking of which, the president of our cargo ship's Chamber of Commerce is someone who has been doing trade in Lewis City for more than 20 years."
"oh?"
"His name is Lucas. I heard he used to be a famous wandering merchant, but now he's the real rich man in our Yalan Castle."
Sean was filled with questions.
Lucas...
I still remember this name. Isn't that the businessman who came with me on the boat from Muwan Port? I met him again in Lewis later. I didn't expect that he has become a rich man in more than 20 years.
"That person." Lucille's voice suddenly came from the side.
"Your Excellency the Witch knows our boss?"
"Oh, he's just a profit-seeking person. I don't think I know him."
Actually, Lucille did know the other person, but it was just a one-time encounter, so it couldn't be considered a close relationship. Besides, she was still young at that time, so how could there be any friendship?
"Isn't that what merchants are all about? As long as they can live well, isn't that enough?... General, if you are from Jagon's army, you can talk to our leader. He might rent you a large ship to take you back across the sea!"
