After Edward took care of the affairs of the territory, he went to Blackwater City with the two thousand soldiers produced these days, wanting to go out and see how big the world really was.

Having seen the sky of the Cloud Continent and the forests of the Wind Continent, Edward also wanted to see the Sea Continent, which is known as the unknown continent.

The hull of the Whale is not large, there are only two floors above the deck, one is a small hall, and above the hall is a watchtower, water storage tank, and swimming pool.

The fifteen-meter-high lower space is the real place to live and store things, and Edward is not satisfied with this hundred-meter-level ship.

A slightly damp sea breeze blew in through the window, and Edward opened the door to the dock, looking at the ship in front of him, a steam-powered tin ship with no sails on it, and a chimney at the back of the ship, which was emitting white smoke.

The bow of the ship is not like a sea dragon or a goddess, nor a giant whale, but a jumping fish.

On the sides of the ship there were six gun ports, and on them were automatic rapid-fire guns made by Edward himself, six on the left and six on the left and one on the stern, and the remaining four on spare, for a total of twenty guns.

There are many rooms in the ship, most of which are for the people inside, and some of them are made according to Edward's instructions, such as bathing and chatting, activities and conversations, interrogation and custody.

The mass-produced soldiers didn't need to eat and sleep, they didn't have this function, and Edward didn't design the parts for these soldiers to digest and excrete, which was too complicated, so these soldiers only had a month's lifespan after leaving the factory, and if they wanted to continue to move, they had to replenish their energy.

Because these soldiers need to replenish their mana as a motivation to survive, they are also called magical soldiers by Edward.

In addition to the magic soldiers, there are many people on board the Whale.

Looking at the humans who were boarding the ship one after another under the management of the soldiers, Edward said to the middle-aged man next to him, "Ziquilla, is everything confirmed?"

Ziquilla was a vicious-looking middle-aged man who looked terrifying, but to Edward he was just an ordinary person.

"Your Majesty, according to your orders, the materials used this time are the best, and I have also invited the best craftsmen and boatmen in the family, as well as the most experienced fishermen and sailors in Blackwater City, and even my wife and daughter have all boarded the ship, please rest assured that the Haylum family will faithfully follow in your footsteps. ”

Edward didn't care about the other party's words, for Edward, life has countless opportunities to make mistakes, and loyalty is no longer so important.

"I'll leave the ship to you, don't worry about my thoughts, as long as you can protect the ship and don't hurt me, you can handle the rest of the things at will, I won't let you do anything against my will, so don't worry too much about some things." ”

Ziquilla breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Your Majesty, it will take a little time for the supplies and slaves to be arranged, do you want to go to my house to rest?"

"I know your loyalty, but I've had a lot going on lately, and I don't have much energy to focus on it. It would be nice for you to arrange for a few women who know the importance of the matter to serve in my room, and the rest of the women should not let them on board, for going to sea is not an exciting thing, and if you are not married, do not go up. Edward didn't know how long he would be out this time, so he didn't let too many useless people go up.

"Yes!" the more eloquent Edward became, the more respectful Ziquila became, he did not lack wisdom, otherwise he would not have changed from a city lord to an acting city lord.

There were some things that Edward didn't explain, but Ziquilla also solved them well, he was the original Earl of Blackwater, and the owner of the place before the surrender, a nobleman known for his wisdom.

In order to cater to Edward, Ziquella reused her average-looking daughter, who was very knowledgeable about the technology of ships, and also put down her posture and dealt with the craftsmen.

All kinds of craftsmen were obediently put on board by Ziquilla's soft and hard methods, and this whale was also a work made by Ziquilla after exhausting the small vault, focusing on stability and practicality, abandoning the aristocratic style that Ziquilla liked before.

Edward did not rest, but sat on a chair by the dock, his eyes closed as if he were sleeping, and let the sea breeze blow.

Seeing that Edward was still here, Ziquilla did not continue to wait by Edward's side, but began to command in an orderly manner, making the entire dock more organized and much faster.

"Butler, the list must be checked, and no one else can wait for the ship!"

"Knight Chief, you and the chief maid will bring people on the ship together, bring down all the unmarried women on the ship, you must have a good attitude, do not use force, if there is something that cannot be solved, you will come to me, and I will deal with it. Leave the women of my family alone, and let the rest of the people get off the ship for their own sake, and life at sea is not for them. ”

"Anna, you go up and assign rooms to the craftsmen, and try to keep the family together. ”

"Roman, although the ships and supplies have been inspected many times, it would be better for you to take someone with you to inspect them again, just to be on the safe side. ”

"Jack, you go to Ship 1 and Boat 2 and ask them if there's anything they need help with. ”

"Alexander, you go to ships 4 and 5 and see if there are any livestock that need to be disposed of. ”

......

Ziquilla handled it well, and Edward did not intervene, and this time the Whale would be followed by five smaller ships, which were not as large as the Whale, but they also had their own functions.

Craftsmen and minions all entered the ship under the command of Ziquella, and in addition to Edward's two thousand magic soldiers, there were also a hundred human soldiers and a hundred Blackwater City soldiers, which were all combat power.

There were also many sailors on board, and these sailors were all good at one in a hundred, and they all volunteered to participate in this voyage.

Edward promised that after this trip, he would give these people positions, from squad leaders to city lords, everything from captains to city lords.

For those sailors who have been oppressed, this is a deal that can be won with their lives.

Artisans, merchants, hunters, nobles, knights, doctors, aquatic specialists, fishermen, pearl divers, pirates, scholars, cooks, servants, slaves, ...... The Whale has more than 3,000 people on board, including people from all walks of life.

When cleaning up unmarried women, there were many women who were reluctant to get off the boat, and finally Ziquilla consulted Edward, and Edward did not insist on his opinion, just let these people stay on the ship, but they were all arranged in the women's quarters, and were strictly protected, or guarded.
