It was another good morning, not many white clouds, warm sunshine, the lord's mansion was full of children's happy laughter, only the faces of the adults still had a faint trace of worry, but when they saw the silver knight who walked into the room, they also greeted him sincerely.
It has been more than a week since the occupation of this Kasu Island, and under the guidance of Leviathan, the undead realm has unfolded very smoothly, that is, the scene in the lord's mansion in front of him is completely unexpected, Craig could not have imagined that more than 600 aborigines who are unwilling to leave will be found, and among them, except for a few old people who can't run, there are more young adults and helpless children who are oppressed by the former lord. Luckily, the Lord's Mansion was large enough and far away from the island's burial area, and after scaring away those who could run, he temporarily housed them here, preparing to find an opportunity to see them off later.
"Rider~ Master Shi, we just made lunch, would you like to eat some?"
A trembling voice interrupted his thoughts, and he turned his head to see a girl with a ponytail, a turban, and a little charcoal on her face. Craig remembers that her name is Cheyenne, probably because she took on the responsibility of the family too early, and she is only the age of the little master, but she looks as mature as a woman, and she is the first of all to talk to her, but her good voice always seems to be unconfident.
Shaking his head as usual, Craig didn't look at her again, commanded the newly created black-armored warrior based on Eames's research, and put the freshly hunted and processed sea monster meat into the food pantry, and prepared to leave as always, only to be stopped by the cowardly voice again with some surprise.
"Lord Knight~" The terrifying scene on the day he was arrested is still vivid. There are also many terrifying undead wandering outside the lord's mansion. But this time down. Everyone understood that this silver knight who did not match them really had no malice, and seeing that he turned to look at him again, the girl made a request to him with anxiety: "Thank you for taking care of us, you send fresh food every day, but the vegetables in the house are almost gone, can I ...... it"
Cheyenne still didn't dare to say the last words, but Craig, who was once human, certainly understood that what she wanted, it was just that winter had just passed. There are no vegetables sown in the farmland yet, and with the Leviathan's "rage", they can only look for wild vegetables and mushrooms, which is not something that the undead can do, let alone whether it is poisonous or not, and they can't even tell whether it is wild vegetables or wild grasses.
The two black knights who were equally in existence were treated in the magic circle under the care of Leviathan, and the eighth-order dark mage who died at the hands of the Goddess of Dawn had also completed his transformation and was living in the cemetery to absorb the undead's exclusive power of death qi, and after thinking for a while, there was nothing to do urgently for the time being. Craig nodded in agreement with Cheyenne's request, and stretched out his palm to flip it over. It was signaled that only ten people could go out.
Unexpectedly, her request was granted, and after thanking her repeatedly, the girl immediately became busy with joy, and then it was not until she had selected ten people to go with her, and returned to the gate with tools and food, that she realized that the silver knight had not even a seat and was standing there waiting for her.
"I'm sorry, Lord Knight, I ......" The girl immediately apologized in a panic, but halfway through speaking, she saw the silver knight turn around and walk towards the door, and she could only lead everyone to follow uneasily.

In the calm sea, Humphreys's fleet saw the fleet of the Island Alliance, and soon they were also seen, and soon carried the instructions for them to leave with a flag.
But just as Humphreys and Mark were hesitating whether to rush over or go around to the other side of the island to warn Craig, who was obviously unaware of the situation, they gave another order to get closer.
After a moment of confusion, both of them thought of a reason: the other party must have seen the flag belonging to Brion on the mast and was ready to swallow their large "merchant fleet".
The fleet of the island group alliance in front of him is very large, consisting of twenty-one warships, according to the time of encountering the refugees of Cassu Island, it will never be rushed after receiving the report, combined with the information obtained before, it is likely to be the vanguard of the sea force to capture Brion and clear the sea surface, because Casu Island, which is located in the northernmost part of the island group alliance, is also the closest large island to Brion, and is most suitable as a temporary supply station.
At the same time, it can also explain why the other side has two diametrically opposed flags, the occupation of Cassu Island has left them without supplies, and they can only risk being robbed by their own side belonging to Brion, even if a ship escapes, it is better for Brion to be warned, than their entire fleet is trapped in supply problems.
With such speculation, Humphreys and Mark had the intention of annihilating this fleet, otherwise it would be a fatal disaster for the unprepared Valais to let them reach the Brion Sea. Then, after a period of deliberation, the two men gave up the tantalizing idea of capturing the enemy ship and gave the order to the entire fleet to annihilate the enemy. Because of the merchants, the number of people on thirty ships may not be half that of the other side, and it is unwise to engage in broadside battles.

As Mark and Humphreys had predicted, the mission of the Alliance's Sixth Fleet was indeed to reach Brion first, clear the route for the subsequent Combined Fleet, and ensure that friendly forces could land on the 6 island, but when they wanted to make one last replenishment on the island of Cassu, it was strange that there was not a single living person in sight here, and the port was even more in disarray.
However, the supplies were no longer enough to support Brion, and the U-turn would delay the fighters, so in desperation, the fleet commander had no choice but to order a docking to collect a number of usable supplies, but the frightening situation arose again, none of the soldiers sent to the island returned, and the supplies collected were not enough to consume.
So, after waiting all night, the commander had to send a search party, again wasting the day, and when he heard a fleet approaching, he gave a categorical order not to let them approach. After all, most of the people who will come to the poor island of Kasu are fleets looking for supplies.
However, when the watchpost reported that it was a large merchant fleet from Brion, the commander suddenly felt that the soldiers who had not returned might be a god who was deliberately helping him, and immediately gave the standard-bearer an order to get them closer, because no matter how small the supply of merchant ships was, they would definitely pass by the warships, and no matter how bad they were, they could plunder a large amount of money.
Subsequently, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the opponent, and at the same time to quickly get close to the opponent's ship, the commander made a very fatal decision, asking the fleet to fold the sails in a horizontal row and wait for the opponent to approach.
