Unintentionally stirring up trouble once again, Ji Chen found himself warmly welcomed by Yasen as they arrived in a large independent harbor within the Elven fleet.
This area was specifically allocated by the Maple Principality for the Silvermoon Dynasty, serving as a berth for Elven ships, housing Elven soldiers, and even providing supplies.
Its nature was somewhat akin to the relationship between a certain small-time landlord and a certain popular streamer.
I provide you a place to station your troops, and you, in turn, protect me.
As a result, while the Maple Principality's military might was not formidable, no power dared to provoke them.
In one of the halls, Yasen and Ji Chen sat opposite each other.
Yasen poured a cup of tea and sighed.
"Lord Ji Chen, I've seen many Lords of Glory, but none of them has been as outstanding as you. You've led your territory from humble beginnings to its current prosperity."
