The once prosperous trading port of Seka has become somewhat depressed since the start of the war, and the number of merchants has almost disappeared!

In particular, after the defeat of the Fifth Mixed Fleet in the Battle of the Dipu Islands, and the control of the Goblin Fleet in the northeastern seas of the Empire, the sea trade of Sekka City was almost forced to stop.

In contrast to the depression of trade on the northern sea routes, the trade between the towns of Cook and Yekjar in the south of the empire was increasing, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Count Stu, saw this, and personally went to the town of Kwyn to suggest that the emperor increase the size of the trading port in the town of Yekjar.

Emperor Laubert would have agreed without even thinking about it before the war began, for he dreamed every day that the sea trade of Yekjar would surpass that of Balan.

But now, the war between the empire and the orcs has reached a critical moment, and he has no time to take care of the rest of the region, especially the list of expenses set by Count Stu for the construction of a trading port, and the proposal to reduce the military port of Yekjar, which made the emperor, who was not very financially well-off, immediately dismiss the idea of expanding the town of Yekjar.

Eventually, the Chancellor approached the Prime Minister, Duke Nick, and asked him to persuade the Emperor to increase the scale of trade in the military port of Yekjar, but Duke Nick was not as selfless as Count Stu thought, and he chose to ignore this suggestion.

In fact, in the town of Seka, the depression of the trade economy did not affect the development of the town, because the local military industry did not stop ordering after the beginning of the war.

The raw materials that piled up in the warehouses of Seka City, such as leather and pig iron, now have a better place to go.

...

At two o'clock in the afternoon of August 26, Pedi rushed to the area of the town of Seka,

The mayor of the town, Sir Befitt, led the chief of the city defense army, Baron Tosik, and the provisional commander of the fifth mixed fleet, Lieutenant Commander Theop, to meet him in the village of Derotai, ten miles away from the town.

And prepare for a grand bonfire feast in the village square.

But Pedi had no intention of entertaining at all, and with his position, he didn't have to deal with these people, so the protagonist of this bonfire banquet became Pedi's personal guards.

Pedi, on the other hand, with his personal guard captain and retinue, led by the senior officials of the town of Seka, went to the harbor of Danmore Military Port to inspect the combat training of the soldiers and detachments of the Fifth Mixed Fleet, as well as the storage of the fleet's combat readiness materials.

To Pedi's delight, the situation of the Fifth Mixed Fleet was much better than he had imagined, its ships were even larger than documented, and the fighting qualities of the sailors were comparable to those of elite soldiers.

It's just that the necessary war supplies are very scarce, but this is not a problem at all, because the finances of Kru are in good shape, and these materials can be solved by only needing Peidi to sign an order.

Pedi knew that it all had to be credited to the fallen pirate Buck!

At night

Pedi, who was in a good mood, did not refuse the invitation to the banquet sent by the officials of Seka Town again.

At the banquet, Pedi was introduced by Lieutenant Commander Theop to meet Buck, who had saved the 5th Mixed Fleet from the Battle of the Deepp Islands, the former pirate who was now Lieutenant Commander Crewling, and his fleet was officially changed to the 3rd Detachment of the 5th Mixed Fleet.

While at Kawalburg, Lady Saviara had suggested that Pedi appoint Buck as commander of the Fifth Mixed Fleet, of course, on the condition that Buck himself had no problems.

For this reason, Pedy had deliberately asked Baron Zhang Danmen of the Military Intelligence Service to collect Baron's personal information...

Buck's story is legendary, a pirate legend!

His mother was originally a prostitute in a mercenary gathering place around Balan, but in the waters of Balan more than forty years ago, it was not as quiet as it is now...

Pirates and mercenaries fighting for bounties are natural enemies, and one of the mercenary groups in this gathering place offended the most powerful pirate group in the northeastern seas of the empire at the time, the Mighty Wind Pirates, because of the bounty.

Overnight, the entire gathering place was uprooted by the Mighty Pirates, all the men were slaughtered, and Buck's mother was unexpectedly taken by the leader of the Mighty Pirates.

So, there was the later Buck...

When Buck was seventeen years old, his father died in a pirate fight, and when all the Mightwind Pirates were fighting over the position of leader, young Buck stabbed his father's killer and defeated two of his rivals to succeed his father's Mighty Pirates.

Over the next decade, the Mighty Wind Pirate Order, led by Buck, annexed one pirate group after another near the waters of Balan Town, and successfully formed a large pirate alliance: the Sailors' Club.

When the Sailor's Club was at its most powerful, and could even influence trade decisions on Clarkley Island, the small orc fleets in the Western Continent had to pay enough gold to the club on time.

However, the strength of the Sailor's Club is also the main reason for its decline, because everyone wants to sit on the top and see the scenery below...

And so a war on pirates began!

This war lasted for three years, and pirates without rules were the most terrible, and in these three years, the mainland's sea trade almost collapsed.

The Wind Pirates led by Buck retreated from this war, but then the encirclement and suppression of the goblin fleet and the encirclement and interception of the Imperial fleet, however, Buck always wins, coupled with the prestige he has accumulated before, soon, a larger fleet gathers around him again,

After that, his pirate regiment was officially renamed the Buck Pirate Regiment,

This time, Buck no longer had the delusion that he could rule the entire world, so he was able to spend a few years peacefully... Until Colonel Fred took over the Fifth Mixed Fleet of the Empire.

With the entire Crewe Collar backing the Fifth Mixed Fleet, coupled with Colonel Fred's excellent management and command skills, Buck was still able to win small victories, but the accumulated attrition finally caused his huge pirate group to slowly fall apart.

Later, Buck had to hide in the Dip Islands with one of his most elite fleets.

A few months ago, a full-scale war broke out between orcs and empires!

When a naval battle broke out between the Goblin Fleet and the Fifth Mixed Fleet near the Dip Islands, Buck decisively led his fleet into battle with the Goblin Fleet.

After this battle, Buck was recommended by Colonel Fred to successfully clear his name.

These are all Buck that Pedi saw from the archives.

But in reality, Buck gives people the feeling of being as gentle as the uncle next door, he has short hair and short beard, his dark skin is a little dry due to the impression of the sea breeze all year round, and he has a strong body under the white lieutenant commander's military uniform.

Buck, like Sir Bowenwright, was not a talkative person, but if you asked him a question, he would give it a thoughtful answer.

In the middle of the banquet, Pedi suddenly pointed to a young man who was drinking with someone not far away and said to Buck, "Lieutenant Colonel Buck, is that your son?"

"Yes, he is my only son. Buck's face was full of humility, but the muscles in his back tensed up imperceptibly as Paddy asked.

Pedi smiled, "I heard Baron Danmen talk about him, because I told Baron Danmen that I still need a servant, and Danmen recommended your son to me... I have a good impression of him, and I would like to take him if I can. ”

"Of course, that's his pleasure. Buck's heart was overjoyed, and the muscles in his back relaxed, with a solemn expression on his face, "He will appear in front of you early tomorrow morning." ”

...

Early the next morning,

When Pedi woke up in the general's quarters at Danmore Military Harbor, Lieutenant Colonel Barker's son, Beze, appeared outside Pedy's house, and at this moment he was no longer as unruly as he was at yesterday's banquet.

He followed behind Eden, like a guard.

While preparing a set of admiral's uniform for Pedi, Eden said, "My lord, Lieutenant Colonel Theop has been waiting for you in the conference room of the military port according to your order, and in addition, a paladin who calls himself the 'Tower of Dawn' wants to see you, and he said that Baron Hannina has agreed with you. ”

"Oh?" said Pedy, who was surprised by the paladin's appearance, and his words reminded him of a conversation he had with Baron Hanina in a chic café in the imperial capital not long ago.

Pedi thought for a moment and said, "I'll go see Lieutenant Colonel Theop first, and as for the Paladin, you invite him to the reception room in the military port first, and you go in person, remember, don't let anyone talk to him." ”
