Early the next morning, the bustling and noisy crowd filled Dock No. 2 within the Golden City's stronghold.
The dock, originally a mooring spot for several main battleships of Oleg's "First Fleet," had been cleared just for the arrival of the "Frost Moon Princess" from the Mafa Empire.
Moored at the dock was a "Sea King class" warship, nearly two hundred meters in length; such displacement marked the pinnacle of current sail-powered ships.
Even in the entire North Sea, there were only three such ships before.
This was the fourth.
The Mafa Empire's iron-clad warships were indeed formidable, and had they come to this sea area, there would have been virtually no pirate ship able to contend with them. Unfortunately, Ruying would never allow Mafa's naval ships to appear in the waters behind the Empire's territory.
