He had experienced such an extraordinary day when a few hours ago the Scolusians have launched an air raid.He proceeded alone on the small room reminiscent of medieval times. Awaiting him was a man in a very tight black suit. He is standing next to the old fortress windows, with the setting sun behind him, an aesthetic scene."Good day, Your Highness. Did you have a fun afternoon?" the man saif as he fixed his eyeglasses."Could have been better, and you never cease to amaze me Agent Belgium, fashionable as always." the Prince replied."Hehe, you flatter me Your Highness. But please address me with the usual." this Agent Belgium then replied."Sigh, alright alright. However, they are running late huh Manager?"

The small fleet of Cardonian ships battled sea state 4 and 5 waves as they sailed in formation towards the Southern Isles.The large waves tossed the ships around like toys. Adding to the dilemma were the horrendous storm blanketing the whole area. The weather radar from the ships have warned them of the brewing storm, but with no other choice they pushed through.Surprisingly, they are yet to encounter the dreaded Southern Pirates, the weather might be covering their advance as the surface search radars on both the large coast guard cutter and the corvette didn't spot any suspicious vessels in the surroundings.The Archesian sailors that were guiding the Cardonian fleet were astounded with the fact that the fleet is maintaining it's speed and course considering the horrendous weather....CRNS SANTANThe 95 meter corvette are managing the waves well.

The Dylaslan ships that are stuck at port of Naldia because of the ongoing naval blockade at both sides of the approaches are going to face the greatest backstabbing their country would ever face.Because of the shady deal between the Dwarven King and the Cardonian Crown Prince, the Naldians were pressuring the Dylaslans to leave their port. It has been days ever since they seek refuge on the tiny dwarven Kingdom and they have a credible reason to kick out the Dylaslans as they would invite trouble as they were harboring the enemies of the currebt dominant country that is rampaging down south, though the past few days were quiet because of the ceasefire agreement.Pressured, the Dylaslan then left the Naldian port and tried to break through to the Empire as the Naldians "tipped" them off that Cardonians wouldn't be able to patrol such vast oceans with their measly number of ships. Seeing this as an prime opportune to finally meet his beloved, the arrogant Dylaslan Prince urged the Cap

The Corvette Santan were busy in monitoring the perimeter, it has been three days ever since the fleet have casted their anchors here.And there is already a couple of close contacts on what seemed to be the dreaded pirates. Only a few of the bravest fishermen from Archesia have occasionally fished here and when they returned, and they spread various stories about the vicious pirates and mysterious creatures that are rampant in these shoals, further scaring anyone in pursuing the resource rich seas.But the said pirates were only cautiously observing the fleet from afar, and for some reason they are not taking the chance on capturing or harrassing the almost undefended fleet.It might be the impressive aura of the grey corvette which basically towers over their sailing ships comparable to 17th century galleons and frigates. Well f
