Thud thud!
As soon as 'Sharp Sword' arrived at the scene of the commotion, he immediately asked his subordinate warriors.
"What's going on?"
"I told him not to touch my window because he suddenly wanted to touch it, but he didn't follow my orders and kept picking a fight."
After hearing the story of his subordinate warrior, 'Sharp Sword' nodded and said.
"I see. I'll take care of this. Go back to your seat."
"Yes, Mr. White!"
As the 'Sun of the Sky' warrior returned to his original position after giving a light salute, the 'Sharp Sword' finally looked up at the 'Giant Fist'.
"The weapons issued to warriors in accordance with the military laws of our Federation cannot be given to anyone, and they cannot be lost."
The 'Giant Fist', still angry and grumbling, sneered.
"The military law of the Federation? Is it some kind of tribal code? I've never heard of such a strange code before."
This time, the 'sharp sword' spoke with a calm expression, as if he found the 'giant fist' picking a fight with him ridiculous.
"We have to move right away, so please go to your seat first."
"Let's go. Before that, is that weapon you're wearing on your waist a sword?"
Even though the 'Giant Fist' kept changing the subject and talking about something else, the 'Sharp Sword' treated him politely until the end.
"Yes. Please go back to your seat."
"I think a sword would be better than a spear. Can I touch that sword? Why aren't you answering?"
"I ask you once again, politely. Please return to your seat."
For a moment, silence flowed between the two, and an unknown battle of wits broke out.
Chiriririririt!
"...."
'Sharp Sword', who holds the rank of Baek In-jang in 'The Sun in the Sky', is at least an intermediate warrior. Now, a high-level warrior was right in front of me.
Meanwhile, the 'Giant Fist' was secretly surprised to see the 'Sharp Sword' standing up to him without being intimidated by his momentum.
'That's amazing.'
At that moment, 'Last Breath' and several Cherokee elders came running in, trying to stop the two.
"What are you doing? Go back to your seat."
When the chief tried to stop him, the 'giant fist' had no choice but to grumble and back away.
"I didn't even cause an accident. Seriously!"
'Last Breath' turned his head and politely apologized to 'Sharp Knife' who was standing still.
"That friend has such a fiery personality that I can't control him very well. I'm sorry."
"No, that could be the case."
Sharp Knife smiled lightly as if it was no big deal and glanced at Huge Fist, who was talking to other Cherokee warriors.
"Thank you for understanding."
"Then, let's leave right away."
"Okay."
'Sharp Knife' bowed his head slightly to 'Last Breath' and returned to his original position. 'Giant Fist' watched 'Sharp Knife' walk away as he turned around and spoke quietly with the other Cherokee warriors.
"The discipline of the warriors is very well maintained."
"He doesn't fall for my provocations at all. I heard he's not a great warrior, so I don't think he'd be able to win even if we fought him one-on-one."
"Not only the author, but the other warriors are all equally skilled."
The 'Giant Fist' deliberately provoked the warriors of 'The Sun in the Sky' by picking a fight. However, contrary to expectations, the warriors of 'The Sun in the Sky' did not fall for his provocations and maintained their composure until the end.
'It's more than just rumors.'
The 'Great Fist' and the Cherokee warriors held the warriors of the 'Sun in the Sky' in very high esteem.
"I'm worried, though. I hope the chief doesn't get blinded by greed and end up negotiating unreasonably."
"Giant Fist! You don't get along well with the chieftain, so I'll talk to you separately."
"I will make sure to warn the warriors once again."
The 'Giant Fist' was usually dissatisfied with the chief who handled important issues of the tribe unilaterally. Is that why?
The 'Giant Fist' looked at 'Last Breath' with a worried look.
'I hope you don't put the tribe at risk for personal greed.'

The upper reaches of the Nanticoke River. After visiting the Tutello tribe, I quickly headed to the final destination, the territory of the Nanthi Kok tribe, with the 'Clear Soul' and the guard warriors who were waiting at the barbarian tribe village.
It's been two weeks since I started riding the buffalo. Because there is a sea between the territory of the Savage Tribe and the territory of the Nanticoke Tribe, a large detour had to be taken.
At that moment, a village began to appear in the distance.
"Your Majesty the Emperor! This is the village of the Nanthi Kok tribe."
The faces of the warriors and bodyguards, who had been exhausted from the long journey, became lively.
"It's comfortable to ride a buffalo, but my butt hurts so much."
"It's because I haven't gotten used to it yet. It'll get better once I get some calluses on my butt."
"Even though I already have calluses on my butt?"
"That's what they say."
The 'Swift Deer' and the 'Clear Soul', who were following right behind, were conversing in their own tribal languages. One from the Lenape tribe, one from the Tusucarora tribe.
It was amazing how they could understand each other's words through gestures and conversation, even though they clearly couldn't understand each other.
That wasn't all. 'Clear Soul' showed off his great affinity by taking turns riding the buffalo of not only the 'Fast Deer' but also other great warriors and the Royal Guard warriors.
And she is the only woman in a group of only men. Naturally, the atmosphere was bound to be much better than before because of the 'clear soul'.
Sometimes, they come up to me without hesitation and bother me by asking me questions about this and that.
Phew!
I was watching 'Clear Soul' and a smile naturally came to my face.
'I think it would be okay to include him in the guard.'
After a while, we arrived at the central village of the Nanthi Kok tribe and the Nanthi Kok tribe people warmly welcomed our group.
"welcome!"
"Welcome!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor!"
The Nanticoke people had little aversion to being ruled by the 'sun in the sky', perhaps because they considered the Lenape to be their cousin tribe.
Rather, the Nanticoke tribesmen were happy that their lives were better than before. Just then, the newly elected chief representing the Nanthi Kok tribe arrived.
"Welcome to the Nanti Kok Tribe, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"Nice to meet you."
The chief of the Nanthi Kok tribe, who also serves as the representative, greeted me politely and guided me straight to the village hall.
"Your Majesty the Emperor! How many days will you be staying in our village?"
"It's hard to give a definitive answer as to how long it will last. I think it will stay for at least five days."
"I see. In any case, I will do my best to serve His Majesty the Emperor and his personal guard warriors while they remain in this village."
* * *
Five days have passed since we stayed in the Nanthi Kok tribal village. I received various reports from Chief Nanthi Kok and thought and thought again about how to develop this region.
The territory of the Nanthi Kok tribe, which had no natural resources or minerals, was surrounded by the sea, so it seemed necessary to develop it based on the fishing industry.
Especially crabs. Crabs are so abundant in this area that we get them every time we eat. Even at dinner time, the great warriors and their guardsmen were gorging themselves on grilled crabs.
"It's also delicious when grilled."
"Why is there so much fat?"
"I can eat it and never get tired of it."
I also picked up one of the plump ones and put it in my mouth. I nodded with a satisfied expression after chewing on the peel and everything.
It's delicious, but… . The problem is that the crabs cannot be transported inland. There is no refrigerator or freezer here for easy storage, and ice is not readily available.
'Should I try making pickled crab?'
To make gejang, you need to make meju (fermented soybeans) and obtain soy sauce, but honestly, that wasn't easy.
The beans grown here were not the beans I was familiar with. A type of kidney bean, not a soybean.
'I guess I should try anyway.'
Since there are many seafood products from the sea, including crabs, we plan to produce food stably through salting and drying methods.
And to catch fish far out to sea, boats were needed. After a while, when the meal was over, the 'brave wolf' approached and asked.
"Your Majesty the Emperor! Are you planning to tour the beach tomorrow too?"
"okay."
* * *
A wide beach. I have been looking around the site for the shipyard so far and I really like this place.
'It's right here.'
There was a bay where the sea came deep into the land, and there was relatively little wind. And above all, it had a wide coastline that was convenient for building large ships.
At that moment, the 'brave wolf' next to me asked cautiously.
"Your Majesty the Emperor! Do you like it here?"
"It's a good place for a port and a shipyard."
The 'brave wolf' tilted his head at my answer.
"Is that so? Honestly, I don't know."
"You may not know now. Later, when we build a shipyard here and start building ships, you will know."
"Then, I guess we'll have to wait until then."
I pictured countless ships drying here, coming and going, and anchoring in the harbor. I turned around with light steps, wondering if my hard work had been in vain as I searched for a site for a shipyard and a port.
"Return to the capital."
"All right."
* * *
A dense forest. It's been a few days since we left the Nanthi Kok tribal village. A familiar sight came into my eyes as I came from the territory of the Savage Tribe to the territory of the Nanti Kok Tribe.
At that moment, a welcome notification sound came into my head.
[Tiring!]
[Quest completed.]
The long journey has finally come to an end. Having neatly completed the quest to complete the map of 'Sun in the Sky', I immediately opened the map window.
The map window displayed the territory of the 'Sun of the Sky' and the surrounding tribes in detail. That wasn't all. Mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, forests, grasslands, etc.
Even towns and cities were marked in detail.
'It was worth the effort.'
I didn't just go around each tribe to inspect things. I also completed the quests and thought about how to develop each tribe's central village.
At that time, 'Heavy Snowstorm', who had gone out to scout the surroundings with a few of the Royal Guard warriors, returned.
"Your Majesty the Emperor! There is no threat around here. I think we can rest here."
"okay."
As soon as the 'Heavy Snowstorm' passed, 'Brave Wolf' was called.
"Take a break here for thirty minutes."
"All right."

East of the Susquehanna River. Susquehannock tribe village. After spending a day resting at the Susquehannock Tribal Village, the Last Breath and Cherokee Tribal Visitors set out early in the morning.
So far, I have stayed in the central village of 'Sun of the Sky' five times. The Cherokee tribe tour group left the village calmly, as the buildings that had seemed new at first now seemed familiar.
At that moment, the Cherokee people all panicked and scattered in all directions when they saw the huge animal before their eyes.
"It's a buffalo!"
"Run away!"
"Why is there a buffalo on the road?"
Boom boom!
A little later, Sharp Knife gave a brief explanation to the Cherokee tribesmen, who were still excited by the sight of the buffalo.
"These are buffaloes that we are raising. So everyone, calm down."
I was surprised for a moment, but I couldn't hold back my curiosity about 'Last Breath' and immediately asked.
"How did you raise a buffalo? No, how did you tame a buffalo?"
"I can't tell you because it's a national secret."
"Well, I can't tell you that either."
At the firm answer of 'Sharp Knife', 'Last Breath' felt a moment of regret and asked again with eyes full of greed.
"Is that buffalo available for trade?"
