A moment had passed.
It was already mid-November.
Since their arrival on the mainland in mid-October, the Pioneer Mandate campaign had been ongoing for a month, and the flames of war in the Sardine Bay Area had stretched for thousands of miles.
The Knight Order of the Duchy of Sapphire had been furiously plundering everything, in coordination with the local Mercenary Corps, to divide the land's resource output. They transported goods and people back to the homeland without cease. Liszt's first group of serf ships had already returned to his domain with many goods and had set sail again, with the second group of serf ships departing early.
Also returning with the fleet was Zambrotta, the diplomatic officer of the domain.
