Sturgeon Wharf.

No, this should be called Sturgeon Harbor now.

Because the scale has expanded many times, it covers almost all deep-water areas.

The port is also busy.

From the third day after the Battle of Hanshui River, unidentified cargo ships began to arrive continuously.

Most of them are small and nimble cargo ships that carry a small amount of supplies. After delivering a batch of goods, they do not stop but turn around and leave.

Sometimes they even come in the middle of the night, sneaking around like thieves.

The transport team of Crescent City is also very diligent and always ready. Once the goods arrive, they are immediately transported to Crescent City and never piled up at the dock.

Anyway, everyone who works at the port knows that a lot of supplies have been shipped in, but no one has an exact number.

This strange state lasted for several days before it ended.

It was noon, the seventh day after the Battle of Hanshui River.

The weather was fine, with only a few white clouds floating in the sky.

Sturgeon Harbor is still as bustling as ever.

Led by a group of dock construction craftsmen specially hired from Shire County, the laborers in the Criminal Camp worked somewhat clumsily but very hard.

They had to work hard, and although the lord forbade whipping, they would go hungry.

It's really uncomfortable to work on an empty stomach.

The men are responsible for doing the heavy work, while the women do various auxiliary tasks, such as boiling water, cooking, or doing some small but trivial tasks that do not require much effort.

Suddenly, someone pointed to the sea in the distance and shouted, "Look, there's a ship, a really big ship!"

Everyone looked up and saw a ship slowly approaching on the endless, blue sea.

Many ships came.

They are all very large cargo ships.

The white sails on the mast were almost as high as the clouds in the sky. Because of the perspective, they seemed to be connected end to end. From a distance, they looked like a moving island.

Everyone at the dock looked at him sideways, forgetting their work for a moment.

After a while, someone ran to inform Knight Tato.

After a while, Knight Tato and his adjutant hurried over.

Tato was mentally prepared because the Chief Administrative Officer had told him a few days ago that a large cargo ship would arrive soon.

He originally thought it was similar to the cargo ship the lord brought when he landed last time, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

There were actually 1, 2, 3, and 5. A total of 6 ships, all of which were super large cargo ships with a length of more than 50 meters!

It was the first time in his life that he saw so many large sea ships.

It can also be seen from the draft depth that each cargo ship is fully loaded with cargo.

Tato felt his heart pounding at the thought that all this cargo would end up on the island.

"There were so many small boats a few days ago, and now there are so many big boats. There are so many things, and there are only so few people on the island. Can they be used up?"

Although these things belong to the lord, there are only four people including the lord and his family, and most of them will definitely be used as rewards.

Tato couldn’t even imagine how good the days ahead would be!

He couldn't help but think again: 'The lord is really a very capable person. I will definitely have a good life if I follow him.'

The lord is going to promulgate a new policy in a few days, and he heard that some people think the new policy is unreliable.

Then he could not help but think angrily: "What a bunch of idiots, they don't have much real ability, but they are good at talking. If I meet them, I will smash their mouths!"

As his thoughts turned, he hurriedly said to his assistant beside him, "Quick, go and call Mr. Swain over."

Swain is a dockmaster hired from the Shire, a low-level wizard and deputy to Lord Steward Kruber.

Originally, Tato had some complaints about the chief's hiring of outsiders.

But now he had nothing to say.

Because of such a large volume of trade, the local people on the island simply cannot cope with it.

Soon, the wizard Sven, who had an extraordinary appearance and a shrewd face, arrived with several clerks.

Tato also handed over the reception task to the well-dressed and elegant middle-aged man with a sense of relief.

Wizard Sven picked up the glass telescope and carefully observed the approaching ship.

"The main flag is a double-headed eagle flag, and the secondary flag is a silver Pegasus flag. This should be the ship of the Levender Silver Pegasus Ocean Trading Company."

"Oh~ There is also a small flag, a blue flag with silver thorns. Tsk tsk~ This is a big shot from the Nobundo family!"

Just as Master Sven was observing the origin of the cargo ship, a man flew up from the deck of the flagship in front.

The man quickly approached the dock.

"I am Aladin, the consultant wizard of the Silver Pegasus Trading Company in Levender Azure City."

"I want to ask, can this dock accommodate large ships?"

Although it looked like the dock was being expanded, it looked messy.

Although Wizard Sven's magic level is average, he still knows several commonly used spells.

He took the red and white signal flag handed to him by his assistant and waved the universal flag of maritime transportation while whispering in his mind.

"It will be a little crowded, but it is completely possible to dock. The water is deep enough, the berths are wide enough, the mooring piles are deep enough, and the anti-collision cork is thick enough."

"Look, this is the berth. This is number one. Just go all the way to the left from here."

After seeing the professional flag signals, the wizard was immediately relieved and turned back to the deck of the ship.

After a while, one ship after another began to lower their main sails and slowly approached their berths relying only on the power of the small sails.

Mage Sven immediately said to the confused Tato beside him, "Knight, we will have a huge amount of supplies to unload later. The warehouse at the dock alone is not enough. We must quickly notify the transport team to transport the goods."

"Oh~~Yes, yes, yes~ I'll go and notify them right away!"

"We need soldiers to maintain order. These are all the lord's goods. Don't let thieves steal them."

"Got it~ Got it~"

Tato held his helmet with one hand and ran towards the barracks, whistling and shouting: "Assemble~~Assemble~~~It's time to work~"

He immediately ran to the Harbor Communications Department located on the top floor of the Harbor Wooden Building.

This department was newly established and recruited a group of young civilian mages.

Although it is a brand new department, it has quickly become one of the most important departments in the port due to its strong capabilities.

As soon as he rushed over, he shouted, "Boys, hurry up and send a message to New Moon City, saying that the sea ships have arrived, six in total!"

There were five young men in their twenties sitting in the communications department. They were all folk wizards on the island, now renamed communications wizards.

They immediately picked up a booklet and fiddled clumsily with the black square box beside them.

Tato didn't understand it either. He looked at the black square box in awe, then quickly ran back to the dock to help maintain order.

Just as the people at the dock were busy preparing to receive the ship and unload the cargo, in the cabin of the fleet's flagship.

A blond young man with extremely handsome features but a slightly gloomy brow was standing at the window, looking at the port dock that was getting closer and closer.

His brows furrowed slightly. “Muradi, this place is worse than I thought.”

Muradi was standing next to the young man. He bowed slightly to the man with a look of respect on his face.

"Sir Maxim, believe me, although it may not look nice, it has absolutely no safety issues."

"As long as you think about it, the honorable Princess Chenxi is on the White Sturgeon Island. You should understand that the White Sturgeon Island is absolutely safe at this moment, isn't it?"

He communicated with the Baron through correspondence and learned that the Baron had completely pacified the island, so he was very confident.

The blond young man shrugged, still lacking confidence.

He turned to look at the man in black standing in the corner of the cabin: "Ade, be more alert later."

The man in black stood against the wall with his arms folded. He smiled slightly when he heard this: "Don't worry, Master. I won't let anyone get within 2 meters of your body."

"That's good."

The blond young knight asked again: "Muradi, I saw a lot of green-haired people at the dock. Are these the captured forest elves?"

Muradi nodded: "It should be, but the so-called forest spirits are just barbarians in the mountains, and now, they have been completely defeated by the Baron."

Maxim looked at the forest spirit carefully and nodded in approval.

"Heh~ Calculating the time, from the time the Baron married Princess Chenxi to now, it has only been a little over a month. He is quite quick and is a capable guy."

Muradi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his tense mind relaxed a lot, and he said with a smile: "If you don't have the ability, how dare you steal Dange's woman?"

"Hahaha~~~"

The handsome blond knight laughed heartily, and the gloom between his brows faded a lot. "Danger really lost face this time. It is said that his angry roar can be heard ten miles away."

As the laughter ended, the gloomy feeling gathered again: "Are you sure the Baron can really help me?"

Muradi didn't dare to guarantee it, because after he hinted the matter to the Baron in the letter, the Baron still didn't guarantee it, so he could only say this.

"If there is anyone in this world who can help the knight, that person is most likely the Baron."

"Ah~~~I hope the Baron won't let me down."

The gloom between the blond knight's brows became much deeper.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly added, "I'm still a little nervous. Let me observe for a few days to see what's going on on the island, and then decide whether to meet the Baron."
