Chapter 136


    ****


    ke was training his and Ross’s men in the new fleet afterpleting thetest consignment to the south,


    Ross gave him a report that was addressed to him,


    ke read the report, smiled andmented, "It seems there will be stormy days ahead . Of course, it is only applicable to our enemies . I was anyway getting bored with raiding all those petty pirates these days . "


    Ross reminded him, "That can wait forter, We will first travel north and upy that ind first . It will be our base in case of emergencies . We still have a few days, From what I know from Jake, it will take Duke Fjord’s men 10 days at least as they will most likely be preparing for war . It would be better to have a base there first . "


    keughed as he remembered, "Hahaha, Yes, Yes, I almost forgot about the ind in dreams of smacking the face of that arrogant Duke with these new weapons . I guess we will toast those Monsters over there first and then the ass of our enemies . "


    Ross nodded and gave him a letter, "Get ready immediately . We have immediate orders from Lord John, so we don’t have time to ck . we will go to that ind first thing in the morning . I have already prepared all the supplies for our Journey, your men are loading all the goods in the ships . Meanwhile, All the new and upgraded weapons have been installed on the ships as well . There are a lot of preventive measures taken this time around . "


    The first thing ke reacted to was . "Hey, are you the captain or am I the captain? And howe even my men are listening to you already in just a few days?"


    ke’s subordinate, Bran the captain of one of the ships answered, "Boss, he has bribed them with those new wines provided by Count John . He also gave some potion to them which will help them at night . I wonder where he gets all these crazy things . "


    ke cussed as he heard Bran, "Damn these traitors, already behaving as if they are soldiers of North-frontier Domain . "


    One of the other captain named Judd cussed as he drank the Moon wine, "Stop your nagging, We know you have a barrel full of that new wine you boughtst time secretly with Ross . "


    ke cursed as he heard from Judd, "Damn it, I can’t even trust this new boy . "


    Bran hesitated and spoke as he heard ke, "Boss, it was actually me who told them about your barrel . "


    ke rolled his eyes as he heard him, He sighed and asked Ross, "Well, give me that letter . "


    ke read the letter and gave serious orders this time around, "Okay, you bastards, this time we will be hunting some exotic species up in the north . Last time when we were chased by the Duke and royal dogs, I meanst time when we were adventuring up north, we lost a lot of men and barely survived so this is time for payback to those assholes . This time we will be toasting them with our new weapons and having them for dinner . We will also create a base for Lord John this time over there so that we can have a backup base in case of emergencies . We will have a lot of travel this time around . Meanwhile, our war with Duke Fjord is near so I hope every one of you gives your 110 percent this time around . We only have 10 days before Duke Fjordunches his attacks in the seas . Are you guys ready for some action?"


    Judd spoke in drunken manners as he heard him, "I don’t know, well I am going anyway as I would like to roast those monsters . Especially that 3 colored bird . That ass of a bird almost made me into dinnerst time around . "


    ke Facepalmed as he thought, ’Once again one of these assholes ruined this lord’s awesome speech . ’


    Branmented as he heard, "Boss, though the speech wasn’t awesome but I will always be supporting you . "


    One of the new boys named Swann from Ross’s team roared as soon as he heard ke, "Yes, Boss, I am ready . "


    He was a bit confused as he saw that no one was reacting . Juddughed and spoke, "I guess you are new boy . You will learn with time . "


    ke almost had tears in his eyes as he heard Swann .


    ke sighed and spoke in a grave tone as he left without saying anything, "Anyway, all of you, be ready by tomorrow . We will depart at dawn tomorrow . So be prepared for the journey, I don’t want any problemster on . "


    This time all of his men roared when they heard him, "Yes, Boss . "


    Judd and Bran then started giving orders after ke left, "Come we have a lot to do before our departure . "


    Swann was a bit confused after watching this scene . Bran smiled as he watched Swann .


    Judd smiled and exined to the kid, "You see we don’t like his arrogant speeches so we always keep his speeches under control . You will understand with time . Anyway, back to work kid . "


    ****


    The journey towards the nortnd seas .


    Ross smiled as he breathed the sea air for the first time .


    ke asked him as he saw Ross on board enjoying the view, "So this is the first for you, eh?"


    Ross nodded and expressed his thoughts, "It is quite beautiful . I bet it would be exciting adventuring in the seas . "


    ke reminded him as he thought nostalgically, "Don’t fall for its beauty or you will someday be swallowed by it if you are immersed in it way too much . This sea is filled with immense wealth and dangers . "


    ke then asked Judd, "Judd, are all the preparations for the sea monsters done?"


    Judd answered, "Already done, Let those monsterse, all they will eat is shit or those ballistas . Here, already one of those hydras areing for our ships . The northern seas are quite dangerouspared to eastern seas . "


    ke smiled and answered, "Well, it is still better than those monsters on the inds . These are still manageable most of those times . You are only itching to use those ballistas . "


    Judd grinned and spoke, "Aren’t you excited as well, boss?"


    Ross shook his head and broke Judd’s happiness, "Nah, he already tried them . But I guess he too is interested in using them live in the seas . "


    ke nodded and gave permission, "I guess its a bit of both . Okay, you can just use that ballista once the situation in the sea changes . Let that Kid Swann have a shot from that weapon . "


    Judd smiled and didn’t agree as he thought, ’I guess he wants to groom this kid early on and let him have a feeling of using this weapon . ’


    Judd nodded and called Swann, "Kid today is your lucky day, you will be the first guy to inaugurate this weapon on the main ship . Make sure to learn about its operations from Mark and use it when our scout spots a wild beast in the sea . You will shoot first and thinkter, don’t get mesmerized by their beauty . They are very dangerous . The Ind we are going to is the same . Small animals are more dangerous over there as many of them are poisonous . And as those animals can survive in such a dangerous habitat, they would naturally be dangerous . I lost quite a few men over there . However this time, it’s our turn to reign terror to those beasts"


    Swann thought as he saw that ke too nodded and gave him permission to shoot at the hydra .


    He thought, ’I guess I am quite lucky this time around to have Captain ke as our admiral . I won’t be wasting this opportunity given by Boss . To be stronger I have to use all the opportunities that are avable to me . ’
