It took about an hour and a half for the team to finally arrive at the port of Yalanburg from the sea.
In terms of scale, it doesn't look as big as the original port of Lewis City, but it has more people... Anyway, there are much more people than the people I saw in another port more than 20 years ago, and there are also many merchant ships.
"Your Highness, what should we do next? Should we ask those sailors to ask their Chamber of Commerce leader to rent a large merchant ship to us?" After arriving at the destination, Mierke began to seek the next plan from Sean.
"Let me think..."
In his mind, Sean was still changing the habits he had developed over the past two months.
Because I followed others before, and I was lazy and idle for two months under the hospitality of the alchemists in the country of Kserk. Now that I am back, I have to decide everything by myself.
After all, he is a prince. Even General Malo, Commander Melsusa and the witches around him are waiting for his orders before taking action!
That requires some thought.
"I advise you not to deal with those businessmen. They have no credibility and are only interested in profit..." Lucille said before Sean gave any order.
As the prince's mentor, she was of course the only one who dared to speak beyond her authority.
"This is the prince's business. Why do you, a wizard, have to interfere in these things?" Mi'er said dissatisfiedly.
"Oh, really? As a member here, I can also express my opinion, right? And in terms of status, I am your prince's mentor. Shouldn't you use a respectful title when you see me?" Lucille looked at the other party proudly.
These two really are...
At first, they disliked each other because of a battle, but they didn't expect that the dislike would continue to this day.
I remember that more than 20 years ago in the swamp town, Mierke didn't expect that Lucille, who was still a baby at the time, could use magic, and she was accidentally thrown far away... This one blow led to the two of them having a feud for more than 20 years, and their status was still circling around her!
"Okay, stop arguing!" Sean suddenly spoke, and the two of them shut up.
It is understandable that Lucille doesn't like Lucas. After all, she has never been in business. Among businessmen, Lucas is considered a relatively normal businessman. As for those who are greedy and opportunistic, many businessmen are the same, otherwise they cannot make a living.
I am not worried that Jagun will do something bad since I brought his soldiers with me. Otherwise, there will be no point in doing ocean trade!
only……
Sean looked at the group of sailors who were walking ashore behind him.
Now there were only about thirty people left by his side. Many people had been scattered to various places by the huge waves, including Melsusa...
If they just went back like this, what would happen to the other soldiers? It might take half a month to get back to Dansu Port. If the others were also blown to some uninhabited island or somewhere else, wouldn't that be a missed opportunity?
And if I return to the capital like this, I will be criticized by my two younger brothers and sisters for a long time...
"We can't just go back like this."
"Huh?" Several people around him looked at him at the same time.
"The others haven't been found yet. I brought so many soldiers out, and I can't have only thirty or so of them return in the end. Even if we succeed in wiping out the pirates this time, it would be a failure with the loss of so many soldiers." Sean said firmly.
"Indeed, perhaps they are trapped somewhere like us."
Frelia, who once served as the leader of an organization, understood his feelings best.
"Then I don't recommend discussing it with that businessman. Besides, they won't send so many people to look for our people." Lucille still insisted on not dealing with Lucas.
"Instead of looking for them, we'll look for the city's administrator," Sean said.
It seems that I can only ask Kselke for help in finding the whereabouts of the navy on the sea in my capacity as a prince.
Just when Sean and his friends decided where to go, a team of people backed by private soldiers came over from a distance.
Private armies exist in every country...
Sean had never said this publicly before because he was a noble. In fact, when he was in the small town, his guards were considered his private army.
The most obvious thing about these people is that their discipline isn't as strict, and their clothing is rather casual. Besides these two points, their combat effectiveness varies from person to person. Some are veteran mercenaries, and their abilities are no less than those of regular soldiers. However, they're a bit difficult to deal with...
Because the opposing team was coming, the remaining naval forces on Sean's side all raised their weapons and were on guard.
"No, don't do it. We are not here to fight!" A man who was walking in the front and dressed more decently in the private army stood up.
He wanted to go forward but was stopped by Malo and Mierke.
"Who are you?"
"My apologies, General. I'm the master of these port workers. My name is Lucas, Lucas Cook... I heard that the prince of Jagun had arrived here, so I came here to greet His Royal Highness personally."
He looks to be in his forties, neither fat nor thin, but with a bit of the plumpness of a middle-aged man. However, his skin tone is very healthy and there is no extra embellishment on his hands.
Lucas?
Sean walked forward curiously when he heard the other person's name, and Frelia and Lucille followed beside him.
This is Lucas more than 20 years later.
It was the first time I heard the other person's last name.
Remember he said before that his family was an ordinary traveling merchant? When did he come up with the last name?
Now that you have money, are you ready to add some status to yourself?
"How do you know my identity?" Sean stopped Marlowe and others from asking questions.
