This fleet that came to relieve Guidao City doesn't strictly qualify to be called a "fleet."
Because the majority of ships in this "fleet" are medium and small fishing boats and longboats converted into fire ships.
The truly experienced, established, and battle-ready naval forces are only the thirty-three warships and their sailors from Sea Blue and City of Flowers.
On the large sail warship at the center of the fleet, also the fleet's flagship "Triumph," a young captain in armor is reporting bad news to an armored elder.
"General Pisani." The young man's fist is clenched, suppressing grief and unwillingness: "The masts of the Flora and Nasriyans have yet to appear on the horizon, Nor have Tanilia's pirates, they're likely not coming."
"Traitors!" Another middle-aged captain beside the elder curses furiously: "All a bunch of unscrupulous bastards!"
The elder, however, remains calm: "I understand, thank you, Captain Nalesho."
