Erin arrived at Laguna port with his fleet. He wasn't particularly proud as he thought that he lost a lot of men in his last battle. He was quite surprised that people still cheered for them when he lost so many of his men.
The Laguna port, only today regained some of its lost vitality after news of Erin's win. However, the faces of common men were still desolate because they knew that war was coming and they would be ones who would feel the most effects of war.
One of the men gossiped, "Why is Duke's personal knight order waiting at the port? And what is the reason that they have suddenly opened the ports? Do you know anything about it?"
