"We finally received news from them. The expedition… is successful!"
Everyone in that room couldn't help but stand up, looking at the messenger.
The king asked, his voice shaking in disbelief and excitement. "What did you say? Can you repeat it?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. I repeat, the expedition was successful. We have just received the news from the admiral that the expedition is successful.
"He will be reporting to you directly, but he has accomplished the three goals set before the expedition."
"!!!" The king felt goosebumps.
"We had three goals. The first is to sail back and forth, which is successful the moment they're back. The second goal is to establish trade and learn about their culture. The fact that we accomplish this means we have some favorable relationship with them. Last but not least, we need them to create a map for direction and other things.
