The deck of the cold winter was quiet for a few seconds, and Asarena stood there staring at Byron's eyes, with a calm and peaceful smile on her face - until Byron suddenly laughed, spreading his hands: "I'm joking with you - Asarena, why are you here?"

"Are you kidding?" The Dragon Seal Witch still looked at Byron up and down several times with distrust, with a full face of suspicion, "Isn't it really the one I recalled in those few seconds just now?"

"I haven't had my memory decay to that level," Byron waved his hand. "You haven't said that yet, why are you here?"

"I led the Dragonborn team from Longyue Cliff and arrived in Tallond one day earlier than you," Asharena walked forward, saying casually, "We had already camped in Binhai County yesterday. You, the guy who claimed to be driving the fastest warship in the world, is still floating on the ice sea. I just heard the sentries of Binhai County mention that you were encountering disorderly turbulence on the sea, so I flew over with the dragons to see the situation... I didn't expect you to be fine."

Byron hugged his chest with his hands, with a proud smile on his face: "It's not an encounter, it's a passing pass. This is a big difference - and we have the world's excellent pilots and escort teams, as well as modern ships that are enough to resist sea storms. Even if we really dive into disorderly turbulence, we can rush out safely. Your worries are redundant. In addition, I must also emphasize that the Winter is definitely the fastest warship in the world, but it would be a bit unreasonable if you use your wings to compare speed with it, let alone the Winter has to sail with so many cargo ships - I can't drive the power ridge to the maximum and then throw away the entire fleet and rush towards Tallond, right?"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but stop, his eyes stayed on Asarena for a few seconds. The scene when the red dragon landed just now appeared in his heart, turning into a sigh: "That was the first time I saw you... another posture."

Asarena casts a puzzled look: "So what?"

"Nothing, it just feels incredible," Byron scratched his hair. "I've dealt with other dragons, and even other dragons, but I only take their 'another posture' for granted, but you... We used to be in the same mercenary team, and there were many partners at that time... I never thought that one day I would see you flying in the sky like a dragon. Do you know this feeling? Those scales, sharp claws... Of course, I mean they are all very majestic, but they are incredible..."

"Don't squeeze your only word reserves before you read many books," Asarena stared at Byron and suddenly laughed. "I know this feeling is different from what each other remembers - believe me, when I know you become a general of the human empire, you will definitely be more surprised than you see me flying in the sky with my wings spreading."

After the Dragon Seal Witch finished speaking, Byron couldn't help but touch his chin and began to reason whether the other party was praising or scolding him. At this time, the black dragon Mokrull finally had the opportunity to speak next to him: "General Byron, and this... Ms. Ashalena, do you know him?"

"Some of the friendships that were many years ago," Byron turned his head and said casually, "we took risks together, but then we broke off contact and we didn't meet again in an accident not long ago."

Asharena also looked at the young black dragon, with a polite and peaceful smile on her face: "Hello, I am the leader of the aid forces of the Duchy of the Holy Dragon to Tallongde this time. We are the first teams - I hope we will have a happy time for the next period of time. As you know, both the dragon descendants and the pure blood dragon will take some time to...enhance mutual understanding."

Then she withdrew her gaze and nodded slightly to Byron: "I just came down to say hello to you, and now I'm going to go back to the sky. By the way, are you interested in experiencing the feeling of flying? I can take you a ride."

Byron thought about it and waved his hands repeatedly: "I'd better forget it... I'm not very interested in flying... and I'm the commander of the fleet, so it's definitely impossible for me to leave the post without permission."

"Okay, at least a reliable reason," Ashalina didn't seem surprised to respond to this. She just turned around and walked towards the edge of the deck while waving her hands, and the voices drifted in the wind, "Then let's see you in Tallond--"

As she finished speaking, the tall red-haired figure was already shrouded in a gorgeous light curtain. She jumped down from the edge of the deck, fell to the slightly undulating sea, and turned into a dragon in the next second, jumping from the side of the cold winter ship in a very imposing manner. Amid the buzzing sounds made by the mechanical giant wings and booster devices, the red dragon covered in steel armor had rushed into the sky.

Byron raised his head, and his eyes followed Asharena's figure and kept looking at the group of dragons hovering in the sky. After a long time, he muttered softly: "...It's really incredible..."

The black dragon Mokrull couldn't help but glance at the human naval marshal several times, then looked up at the red dragon hovering in the sky. After looking back and forth several times, I couldn't help asking: "I suddenly became a little curious... The relationship between you two is really as simple as the adventure partners in the past?"

"Or what?" Byron glanced at the black dragon in confusion, "Can you still think I owe her money?"

Mokruel: “…”

After being choked, the young black dragon smiled and reorganized his words: "General Byron, as far as I know... your daughter is actually an adopted daughter. You have not been married, right?"

"Of course," Byron nodded indifferently, "This is not a secret--though I don't mind forming a family with a lady of similar interests one day, unfortunately, I have not encountered a suitable relationship for many years. In my opinion, if there is a lack of 'fit' in fate, a random partner will only affect the speed of his sword swing..."

Mokrull was stunned and listened to Byron's serious speech, and the subconscious thought came to his mind was "You bachelor are quite knowledgeable in theory" - but although he was a "lower dragon clan" who had never left Tallond and only relied on synergists and immersive entertainment every day to live in a mess, he also understood the minimum rules of getting along with each other. After swallowing the words in his heart, the black dragon showed a stiff smile on his face: "What you said... is very reasonable."

"That's right. I have always known a lot of truths. If you encounter emotional troubles in the future, you can ask me anytime." Byron smiled and patted the young black dragon's arm without waiting for the other party to respond, his eyes fell again on the land that was gradually approaching in the distance. At this moment, the originally very distant coastline has gradually entered a distance that ordinary people can clearly see. In the bright sky light and the relatively clear sky background today, the scene at the details of the broken coast finally fell into the eyes of many sailors of the cold winter.

The cliffs in the distance are divided into crystal tidal flats nearby, energy cracks and unstable magic vortexes visible in the air in the offshore area, as well as floating islands with obvious gravity anomalies and rocks floating everywhere. This is a scene that will never appear in a normal natural environment - even the bard who is erect in the tavern and Mr. Firm, who has become famous in the imperial capital in the past two years, dare not easily adopt this setting.

"My God..." Byron looked at the unusual coast that was approaching in a daze. After a long time, he said to Mokrull beside him. "Although I don't want to comment on what happened to other people's hometown, the place you live now is too evil... Do you really know that those magic vortexes and space cracks that can be seen with the naked eye will not be fatal?"

"To be honest... they were all fatal not long ago," Mokrull said sighing, "but now we have successfully closed or calmed most of the too dangerous magic vortexes and rifts, and classified those that cannot be closed as dangerous areas. There are obvious marks on the coast, and there are usually dragons patrolling and guarding them. But after all, we have limited manpower and do not guarantee whether unconfirmed cracks or energy surges will suddenly appear in the wilderness. Therefore, we need to establish an adventurer management center and use a strict 'graded access' system to restrict the scope of activities of adventurers... This is all to reduce the occurrence of accidental casualties."

"Is that? I thought this system was just to charge extra fees and management fees," Byron said casually, then looked up at the direction of the Mary on the Ice. "But we don't have to worry too much. Although many people think that adventurers and mercenaries are creatures that "have money but don't live", in fact, if conditions permit, this kind of miscellaneous army should cherish their lives than anyone else. After all, living for a long time can only earn gold pounds and fener... As long as you know what the consequences will be, I believe that most adventurers will strictly abide by the regulations of the management center."

He paused, touched his unshaven chin and continued, "Unless he met an adventurer who doesn't have money or life, they will sacrifice themselves...but how could it be?"

Mokruel looked at Byron and suddenly laughed: "Yes, how is that possible?"

One man and one dragon stood on the high deck of the cold winter, smiling at each other, and the new warship was filled with joyful air, and at such a moment the bright sunshine that Tarrond was bathing in.

At the same time, large-scale crowds gathered on the deck of the Mary on the Ice. Adventurers who had been suffocating for too many days in the cabin were excited under the stimulation of the two elements of the New World and the Dragon Group. They gathered on the deck, looking at the distant continent while discussing the floating islands and the energy turbulence in the air. These "warriors" who usually like to boast about themselves as if they could save the world, after seeing those anti-gravity boulders larger than the castle and the unstable cracks that lightning rafts are scattered, and their views are very synchronous:

If you can have a peanut when drinking, don’t be too tempted to get close to the stones and arcs. This unknown land cannot be dug up, but your life after drinking high will not be enough.

Modir, who had recovered completely from the previous illusion, was also mixed in the crowd. He tried his best (mainly with the appearance of the elderly and his skill that was actually more agile than the thief) to the front position. At this moment, he was looking at the bizarre scenes on the coast with his eyes shining. The supernatural phenomena that were hard to see in the continent of Loren made the old mage happy-

"Miss Rolla, have you seen those energy turbulences and space rifts?" He said excitedly to the young hunter who was rushing in front with him. "I plan to have a chance to study how they are formed..."

The hunter instantly widened his eyes and turned his head to look at the "adventurer old gentleman" who was shockingly speaking again, with a look of horror.

...

The ocean-going fleet from the continent of Loren finally completed their first voyage of significance. As the brilliance of the huge sun gradually began to tilt toward the coast, these mechanical monsters made of steel also completed the last slowdown after entering the port area. With the joint efforts of the Naga technician underwater, the Siren Navigator who controlled the waves and the ship mechanics, a total of nine giant ships finally reached the temporary dock outside the coastal county safely.

This harbor is one of the biggest construction achievements of the Dragons of Binhai County in recent times. In the face of a severe labor shortage, Calador sent almost one-third of the construction force of the entire town to complete this huge port. It lacks experience, technical guidance, and engineering equipment. The Dragons relied on their powerful body brute force and sharp claws to prepare docks for those warships and freighters that meet the docking conditions. It turns out that their overtime work during this period is worth it.

When the first large cargo ship, the Ash Mountain Knight, docked smoothly, and opened the cover of its No. 1 water-blocking storage amid the cheers of crew members and dragons beside the shore, the mountains of dehydrated grains were reflected in Caladol's eyes.

That is a "large amount of" food for the dragon.

On a high ground near the harbor, Melita Pernia and Noreta stood side by side, looking at the lively scene on the pier. After a while, Melita murmured softly: "Cecil's rice is a good thing..."

"Although I don't know why you have such a special liking for Cecil's rice, I still have to say," Noreta shook his head, "These ships are indeed quite a lot, but in fact, if they are used to alleviate the food shortage in Argondore today, it is not enough... It can only be relieved for a while, but it is definitely not enough to support us to obtain harvests on greenhouse farms on several nearby islands. After all,... the food consumed by the dragon clan is not a small amount, and now, except for a few seriously incomplete dragons, most dragons are doing high-intensity physical labor in the form of the body.

"Besides... Even Speaker Andal is not sure whether the farms we have opened on the nearby islands can have enough harvests. After all, the life dome based on the dragon rune is technology from too many years ago, and most young dragons do not have much experience in caring for crops."

"Of course, these ships are only the first batch. The materials prepared by various countries will continue to gather in North Port one after another, and the number will be more than the first batch," said Melita. "The main significance of this fleet is to verify whether this route is feasible and to verify whether the existing magical mechanical ships are enough to undertake the task of sending a large amount of supplies to Tallongde... As long as they can safely arrive at the port of Binhai County, this task will be considered successful."

"That's right..." Noreta nodded thoughtfully, then couldn't help but sigh, "Does of countries have the best of their help... It's not easy to repay this favor."

"Survival is the first priority. The rest can be considered slowly after ensuring survival," Melita smiled faintly and said softly, "Okay, we have seen the Dragonborn and human fleet arrive on the continent of Tallond. Next... it's time for us to set out for the human kingdom."
