Erin was in a low mood because of all the men they lost. However he still headed to the palace to meet Duke Fjord,
As he entered the meeting hall, Duke Fjord greeted him cheerfully.
An enthusiastic Duke Fjord greeted Erin and welcomed him as they got to the main topic, "Vice-admiral Erin, you did quite a good job in acquiring those ships in the previous operation. Even your Master had quite a hard time against those ballistas."
Erin accepted the praise and spoke politely, "Thank you, Milord, it would not have been possible without master's help and his precautions when he made the plans for the raid. This plan was specially crafted by Master as he didn't want to take any chances. I was only there to execute the already made plans. So I think this victory goes to Master and his plans. Additionally, I lost a lot of men in my operation. So I don't think I executed them perfectly."
