Jareth and his small fleet continued their strategic retreat, venturing deeper into the vastness of the boundless sea. Because Ryntum ships are slightly better in quality and technology than Barlia, they manage to widen a considerable distance with Barlia.
The pursuing Barlia forces on one side, remained relentless in their chase. As they pressed forward, Barlia's ships remained focused on closing the distance between them and their retreating enemy.
With each passing moment passed, the Ryntum fleet approached Makerton Island.
Admiral Jareth observed the pursuing Barlia forces with a mixture of anticipation and determination. He knew that his hidden plan was about to unfold, and the fate of his fleet hung in the balance.
"Line up the ship," Jareth commanded, his voice steady and resolute. "We'll block them here."
