The atmosphere on Kadan Island is still peaceful, and no one knows what happened at the coronation ceremony of the Kingdom of the Sea and the Kingdom of Water.
However, early in the morning, all the people in Icewood City were attracted by the movement outside the city.
"Oh my god, why are there so many troops?!They even have muskets in their hands! Did the Daimyo come to our Kadan island in person?"
Following the commotion, people quickly came to the streets around the city gate and watched T Bone leading thousands of well-equipped marines outside Icewood City.
"Look, the Lord is here!"
At this time, on the street end opposite the city gate. Shimizu Akihiro was sitting in a carriage and was being carried by several strong marines.
"Even the lord has come out. Maybe some big shot is coming here."
Seeing Shimizu Akihiro's figure, the people present immediately started talking and guessing what happened.
The carriage was carried under the city gate and put down. Vergo opened the curtain from the outside, and Shimizu Akihiro walked out.
"Salute"
"""Salute!"""
"Uh-huh!"
T Bone shouted loudly, and Kitano Ichiro and all the navy on the city wall saluted in unison, making the people who had never seen such serious military discipline get excited.
"Reporting to Your Highness, we have lived up to your trust and successfully incorporated the Land of Sea as your Highness' territory. All the 500,000 people on the four islands of the Land of Sea are your subjects now."
T Bone knelt down on one knee and reported loudly. The sound spread throughout the gate of Icewood City. He was also holding the national emblem of the Land of Sea from the palace of the Daimyo of Land of Sea. Two intersecting cracks were seen on it by the sword.
There is a national emblem in the daimyo palace of every country, which is a symbol of the glory and existence of a country. If the national emblem breaks or falls into the hands of the enemy, it represents the destruction/occupation of that country.
(TN: The occupation here means to be occupied, not to be mistaken for the different meaning of the same word associated with job)
"What? Did I hear correctly?"
"It seems that the officer said that the country of the sea has become the territory of the lord?"
"Shh, don't make assumptions. The lord hasn't spoken yet. We'll find out later."
The surrounding people were in an uproar, and countless people began to talk, expressing that they did not understand or did not dare to believe what T Bone said, even if T Bone had proof of the fall of Land of Sea.
"Good! We welcome the triumphant return of the heroes who captured the Land of Sea. From now on, the maritime transportation route between Kadan Island and the four islands of the Land of Sea will be opened. Kadan Island and the islands of the Land of Sea are jointly under my protection and jurisdiction."
Shimizu Akihiro nodded heavily, and his voice was loud enough to be heard throughout the street. This time, it clearly reached the ears of the people and confirmed their thoughts.
"Really, The Lord captured the Land of Sea?!!!"
"When did it happen? There is no news at all. When did The Lord send out troops?"
"That's right! Could it be that the Land of Sea is at war with the Land of Water? We don't even know. The Lord is so powerful. My God, he suddenly occupied the Land of Sea. It's like a dream.
"Yes, the fishery in the Land of Sea is much richer than that of our Kadan Island. As The Lord said, it would be great for our island if we could easily go to the Land of Sea."
The people of Icewood City looked at Shimizu Akihiro, their original fear was completely replaced by excitement, their eyes were filled with admiration.
"The residents of Icewood City, have you seen them? These are the great warriors of Kadan Island. They not only destroyed the evil Hoshino family and guarded the safety of Kadan Island but also captured a rich territory for us. I think you all want to be a part of such herioc force."
"From now on, I will open a Naval Academy. All children starting from age three and under sixteen can enroll. If they can successfully graduate from the Naval Academy before the age of eighteen, we will provide them with a secure job as a Marine Officer in our Navy."
Shimizu Akihiro paused, and with a lively voice, he spoke sentence by sentence, making the people of Icewood City excited.
Unlike the ninja villages and clans, ordinary people rarely have the right to receive military education. Especially on the islands on the country's border.
Now, Shimizu Akihiro suddenly proposed the concept of the Naval Academy. After graduation, one can become a Marine Officer in the Navy. This makes the people excited, and the children from poor backgrounds are even more excited.
"Lord! I have two children in my family, and both of them meet the conditions. I want to register our children!"
"And there are us. We three brothers! We are all strong boys. We will definitely have no problem becoming the Officers in the Navy."
...
Shimizu Akihiro's naval academy has not yet been built, but it will be too late to recruit children after it is built. It is better to recruit students in advance, and then the existing Marines will lead the training. This can also ensure that after the naval academy is really established, we can send solid students to study in a timely manner.
Now that he has CP9 under his command and all of them have mastered the Rokushiki, it would be perfect for them to teach the recruited students in advance.
"Sir, we sisters also want to join, is that okay?"
When people were enthusiastically signing up, a timid voice suddenly came out.
Looking at them, they were two little girls of about twelve or thirteen years old with pigtails. They were a pair of twins who looked exactly the same. They were dressed plainly. They were holding each other's arm, with a hint of hope in their eyes. Uneasy, that timid voice just now must have come from this girl.
Although at the first glance, these two girls look ordinary, through their bright eyes it is not difficult to see that the two little girls are definitely beautiful.
"Tsuki, Yuki, why are you out? You two are girls, how can you be allowed to join the Marines? It's better to grow up and get married. Girls can't endure the hardships of military."
"Besides, you two brats have stolen a lot of things from all of us. The lord's academy will definitely not want two thieves."
Seeing the little girls, voices of disdain and ridicule suddenly came from the crowd.
