"The prince of New Saier has already sent two ships of personnel over here. You can meet up with them when the time comes.

I don't ask for much, just ask them to stop causing trouble. I understand your difficulties, but you also have to understand me."

Carl told Joanna and her brother the news bluntly and started by giving them a heads-up.

Although he had promised Queen Andel to help unify the power of Storm Bay, it was impossible for him to stay here all day to handle government affairs.

Joanna is a very smart girl, which is why her family and elders let her step to the front and win people's hearts.

The solution Carl came up with was to let Joanna handle affairs as the executive vice emperor of Storm Bay, while he himself would study strange machines and go out on adventures.

After all, this world has supreme power.

Therefore, sometimes the people's will is indeed not as important as the will of the strong.

The Dragonmark Family and the Sons of Winter may allow the Cyrans to use Stormheim to train their troops and lay eggs, but they will not allow the Cyrans to truly control Stormheim, the gateway to Xen'drik.

Just like oil is to the Wuchang in the previous life, dragon crystal is also an indispensable energy source for all countries and major forces.

And Storm Bay is a place similar to Saudi Arabia.

"Yes! We understand! Thank you very much, Senior, for allowing us to do this. You can always tell me to do anything in the future!"

Knowing she was in the wrong, Joanna kept a low profile.

Kasha on the side disagreed with this approach even more, and the expression on her face was even more depressed than in the previous few days.

"Alas, it's all for the forces behind them! Why are you saying all this? But I'll be frank with you, the port must be fully armed. Try to contact those Cyrus people who are about to arrive, and don't cause any trouble here.

Storm Bay is in urgent need of a group of criminals to establish its authority. Don't let your people become cannon fodder."

It's not that Carl is targeting those Cyrus people, but mainly because the secret report from the Kingdom's Eye some time ago indicated that among the two ships full of Cyrus people, one of them was full of undisciplined and unrestrained guys.

This doesn't look like a friendly visit at all.

"I, I can only try my best. After all, I can't be sure that they will obey my orders."

Talking about this, Joanna almost cried.

Although she was entrusted with an important task by the elders in her family, her family did not send a strong bodyguard.

If it weren't for Carl's prestige, she would only have a little prestige among her classmates and the children in the city.

"Tsk, noble families are troublesome. Are you really your parents' biological child? Why did they assign you such a task?"

Joanna smiled awkwardly, lowered her head and said nothing more.

After this discussion, Carl rechecked the progress and quality of the project.

After confirming that there was no problem, he returned to the Bastion Base to study bionic prostheses suitable for druids.

Although the druid was not a good person, political matters could not be judged right or wrong based on moral standards.

If we want to stabilize the situation in Storm Bay, we have to take the Son of Winter's request into consideration.

Although druids admire nature, they are not vegetarians.

Some radical druid societies will even massacre a town because someone indiscriminately cuts down trees.

Even for those radical druids, the Son of Winter is a bit too radical.

Three days passed in a flash, and soon the port was completely completed.

Carl updated the blueprints of the engineering constructs and had them immediately begin building a community for the helpers.

This action immediately aroused dissatisfaction among many adventurers, and they rushed to the construction site to make trouble, as if they wanted to force Carl to give them the rights to the first batch of housing.

Then……

And then there is nothing else. The engineering structure with a turret installed becomes an all-terrain tank.

Although the construction site was badly damaged and several structures were damaged, this incident made everyone afraid to speak loudly.

Those adventurers who became spoiled by the disappearance of the Storm Council realized that the guy who was rapidly controlling Storm Bay was much more ruthless than the descendants of the previous pirates.

Of course, the helpers loved Karl even more.

Who doesn't like a leader who keeps his word and takes his promises seriously? And the day after this "rebellion" was suppressed, the Cyrus people arrived.

…

“Crash~”

On the shore of the harbor, young people who came to Storm Bay for the first time looked at the port curiously.

This place was much larger than they had imagined, even more magnificent than the port of Sharn.

Especially the port buildings that looked like a fortress. It felt like many naval guns would extend out from the walls and aim at them in the next second.

"Hmm? Where's the person who was supposed to pick us up? Why don't we have anyone to pick us up after being sent to a place like this?"

In the crowd, a few ruffian professionals looked around with impatient expressions.

The nearly one-week sea voyage was extremely torturous, which caused quite a lot of complaints from those who did not want to come.

But at this moment, the port's horn suddenly sounded, and Joanna's voice instantly resounded throughout the port.

"The people of Cyre who have just arrived, please go forward along the road to the port! We have arranged accommodation for you, now go to the population registry at the port to register!"

After Joanna finished instructing them on the registration matters, she took these people to the temporary base, without caring about those who had fallen behind.

"Sister, don't we need to care about those people?"

In the team, Kasha looked back at the young people from Sayre who were still there, and sounded a little worried.

It wasn't that he was worried that they would be in danger, but he was worried that they would get into trouble and he and Joanna would have to deal with it.

Joanna: "Don't worry! Some people are destined not to accept discipline. Even if you force them to cooperate, they will still cause trouble in the future. Brother, you should understand this after your previous experience."

Kasha: "I know, but if they get involved with Yale or other forces, I'm afraid Senior Carl will suspect us."

Joanna: "Don't worry, the seniors usually take revenge on the spot. Okay, don't think about it for now. You will lead the first round of vigil later."

Coming out of the port, Joanna and the Sailors quickly arrived at the former trading area.

Here, her classmates have been waiting for a long time.

Kolanburg helped them prepare many military tents so that the people of Salem would have a place to stay for some time in the future.

Some of the Sale people were skeptical about the accommodation conditions because they had seen some buildings on the way here.

"If you want to get your own place to live as soon as possible, you have to help with the construction of Storm Bay. Those houses are the rewards for the previous helpers who assisted in the construction of the port. If you also want to live in such a house, you have to wait until the new project is started and completed."

These words naturally caused dissatisfaction among some people, but Joanna is no longer the girl who was overly kind-hearted before.

Although she has only been in power for a short time, she has already understood a lot.

Without explaining anything further to these people, she just left some supplies and left with her classmates.

Of course, the young paladin Kasha stayed in the camp and shared the joys and sorrows with these newcomers.

"Hey! Brother, why don't you follow that woman and leave? I heard you two talking just now. Is she your sister?"

As soon as Joanna left, someone came up to ask Kasha about the situation.

"Yes, she asked me to stay here to protect your safety."

The overall quality of the Cyrus people sent here is still very high. Many of them have now acquired expertise in combat apprenticeship or other basic professional abilities, and several of them are even already formal level 1 professionals.

But the gap between people is sometimes even greater than the gap between people and dogs.

Although Kasha is younger than them, he is already a 4th-level paladin.

The young man who came to inquire about the news was very talkative. Seeing that Kasha did not refuse, he began to talk about the situation in Storm Bay.

When he heard that Joanna was the real power here and the previous regime had just been overthrown, the young man immediately realized that Storm Bay was now full of opportunities.

"So what do we do next? Wait for a new project to start and then join in?"

Storm Bay is now in a state of disrepair, and the young man is obviously someone who wants to accomplish great things.

"Yes! This is the best, but you can also choose to go out and take risks, as long as you are confident in your skills."

After taking a look at the other party, Kasha confirmed that his tent had been set up and began to patrol the camp.

When he saw someone having trouble setting up their tent, he would step forward to help.

By the time they finished their work, the sky had gradually darkened.

The food distributed was dry food prepared in advance. Kasha took a quick bite and then returned to his tent to meditate.

Around the second half of the night, the group of Sai'er people who had not caught up with us got the news from somewhere and actually found the base.

They looked quite embarrassed at this moment, as if they had been taught a lesson.

Seeing that there were no extra tents in the camp, they actually wanted to rob other people's tents.

Hearing the noise, Kasha rushed to the scene.

"Stop! What are you doing!?"

Drawing out his sword, Kasha glared at those people, with platinum energy emerging from his body.

The robbers immediately realized that the boy in front of them was not someone to be trifled with, but they still tried to make excuses.

"This guy is occupying our tent!"

"You're talking nonsense! Do you think everyone else is blind? You left the team at the port to find another way out, right? Now you come back in disgrace, and since you have no place to live, you want to rob me? Bah! How could we, the Cyrus, have scum like you!"

With Kasha by his side, the man who was robbed was quite tough. When people in several surrounding tents heard the noise, they all got up to check what was going on.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, the few young men who had left the team earlier cursed inwardly, turned around and ran into the darkness.

"Alright, let's all go. Those people are no longer our companions."

After sheathing his sword, Kasha calmed everyone down and began to patrol the surrounding area.

After running for a while, those Sayre youths met Yale.

"Brothers, my team is recruiting! You guys seem to be very talented, are you interested in joining our adventure group?"

With several subordinates, Yale, who has now been promoted to a level 3 warrior, looked at the homeless Cyrus people with a smile.
