Sindar Empire.
One of the oldest maritime powers in existence, it was indeed a place where pirates from all over the sea formed in the earliest times.
Sindar originally meant a trading area in the ancient language of the Eastern Kingdom.
At the beginning, the country was just a combination of pirates from all over the world.
The trading area gradually developed and expanded into the territory of today's empire.
Since the original pirates each had their own organization and fleet, the empire had the habit of being ruled by various armies from the beginning.
Because there was a common external enemy at that time, four stronger forces united to form the highest ruling court.
People from four places participated together, and one king was elected at a time.
Due to the mutual restraint, everyone on the surface They all still listen to the king's arrangements.
However, the major cities in various places are independent, so although this country is called an empire, it can also be said to be the United Kingdom.
It is for this special reason that each region will have its own affiliated sphere of influence.
Of course, the ones close to the ocean are the islands.
To put it bluntly, they are the pirate teams back then.
They did not live on the mainland but chose to occupy a certain area.
Living on an island, as the leaders of this force, they are responsible for protecting the sea transportation channels in order to protect the survival of their own forces.
The current blockage of sea routes is fatal to those living on the island, which is equivalent to cutting off their way of survival.
There seems to be a lot of discussion about this ancient creature recently.
Haldir has heard it in his daily work, especially in the past few days, it has been spread in the streets and alleys, especially the news of the tragic victory in the Wilderness War.
The annihilation of the entire army means hundreds of thousands of troops.
Everyone died in a foreign country, which was the biggest blow to the southern region.
However, the appearance of the dragon intensified this sense of panic.
"What kind of rumors are there, Adjutant?"
Haldir asked again.
Rumors are fatal in times of grief and can easily cause distrust among the people, especially in the army.
Sindar is a country ruled by warlords.
If the army is unstable, it will be a fatal blow to the ruler.
"These are just rumors, Commander."
"The city's military morale is often shaken by these rumors.
It's okay, just talk about it."
Haldir looks calmer than usual today.
This is an important day.
He welcomes his father's relics back, which means that he has officially inherited the southern region of the Sindar Empire among the people.
Everyone will talk about him privately.
Today's thing.
As the eldest son of the family, he also needs to behave more like a successor.
"The appearance of the dragon was first seen by civilians on the island.
It is said in the city that the appearance of the dragon has always represented a disaster that is about to happen.
But now because of the abnormal waves, many people have begun to believe this."
The adjutant explain.
"If you hear such rumors again next time, order the city guards to arrest the people who spread them.
Just lock them up for a few days without punishment.
If they do it again next time, the punishment will be increased."
Haldir commanded.
This kind of remarks that disturb the people's hearts would rather catch someone wrong than let anyone go.
However, he had just taken over the position of commander-in-chief, and it was not suitable for him to punish a large number of prisoners for the time being.

Otherwise, it would be easy for warlords from all sides to find excuses to make trouble.
"Okay, Commander.
Everything is as you wish."
The team continued to wait at the port, not many people were brought today.
According to the custom of the eastern residents, a large number of people should not be allowed to watch the funeral, so the attention-grabbing honor guard troops were not brought over.
Several carriages were prepared, and the adjutant arranged for the troops to return.
It is said that there are still hundreds of Sindar Empire soldiers who have returned from the battlefield.
These people who can survive such a tragic battle should be rewarded.
"Have all the rewards been arranged for the soldiers?"
he asked again.
"Everything is ready, Commander.
The soldiers who come back this time can be promoted regardless of their size, and there will be other gifts."
"Well, they are soldiers who accompanied my father on his last battle.
They need to be settled well.
If they are injured and want to withdraw from military service, they can do it.
I hope that my father's name will still become the pride of the southern residents decades later."
Hal Dill said.
"Of course, the name of Commander Legolas will be a name that the residents of the south will always remember."
The team kept waiting.
Until the sunset dropped to the sea level, Wang Chu finally saw the port on the bow of the ship.
This port is probably bigger than the one in the capital of the Asta Empire, and there are many ships parked there.
Some of them have steel decks, which should be warships, but there are only a few ships parked there.
This is a military port and a civilian port at the same time, which is quite friendly to the people.
Or are these ships just a fleet that simply protects the port.
"This is Versail City.
It's quite big."
Rias and Lucia moved forward to take a look.
They probably had never been out of the Asta Empire and were still curious about other countries.
The clothes here are indeed different from those in the Asta Empire.
Probably because of the hot weather, Wang Chu saw many people wearing gauze clothes, especially women, who felt like they were just wearing a few long gauze scarves wrapped around their bodies.
But the strange thing is that their skin is very fair, and they can still maintain such white skin in the same hot weather.
The logic is different from that of Wang Chu.
"The City of Versailles is one of the best port cities in the Eastern Kingdom.
This city is quite wealthy."
As a person from the Eastern Kingdom, Christia next to her also knew a lot about cities in various places.
It can be seen from such a large port and the ships coming and going that the tax money alone is a huge fortune.
"That's not all.
If the fleet comes in in large numbers, we will have to queue up when entering the port.
It's strange to say that we have been in Bavaria for a few days.
Why do we feel that the fleet has become smaller?
We should unload the goods now.
Time."
The port captain said curiously as he looked at a clear road.
When the fleet entered the port, they saw the guide guiding the fleet to another docking point.
There were almost no other ships nearby.

Oh, it's a special stopping point.
It seems that they have notified it in advance.
At the docking point, there was a pair of men and horses waiting on the shore.
The leader was a young man.
His blond hair and thin face looked very much like Legolas from a distance.
It was obvious at a glance that he was his descendant.
"We are almost at Anwenna, please follow us later."
Wang Chu did not forget to remind Anwenna when they docked.
But he saw that there seemed to be some hesitation in the other person's eyes.
"What's wrong" "Great Master, there are so many people."
"Hey, why don't we just have a few more people?
Why are you afraid?
You are an elf ranger.
No one will pay attention to you if you wear this windbreaker just for you."
Since the appearance of elves among humans would attract too much attention, and Anwenna had never been to a big human city, she asked Rias to prepare a refreshing green windbreaker for her.
It's quite big, and the hood on her head can completely hide her slender ears
