Terror from the Deep Sea (First Update)

Iron Hoof Island, Bull Hoof City.

It was now under the control of the Sapphire Family, yet the scars of war had still not faded. The enormous castle rising by the sea bore pockmarked fractures across its walls.

They had been left behind when the First Prince led the knight order in storming Bull Hoof City.

At this moment, Bull Hoof City's harbor was packed with every kind of sailing ship, flying all manner of flags. The Tulip Family's red tulip banner was particularly inconspicuous. During the stop for supplies, Liszt found the Red Crab Island fleet. It was led by his uncle, Messiro Long-Yam.

"Uncle, I want to hire the Red Crab Island fleet to transport a batch of serfs for me," Liszt said directly.

Messiro was very fond of this nephew, who possessed the Long-Yam Family's fine looks. "No problem. As long as you pay the appropriate compensation, the Red Crab Island fleet can be hired at any time. How many serfs are you planning to transport to your territory?"

"At least ten thousand. If I can buy more serfs, I hope to gather twenty thousand."

"Black Horse Island is merely an undeveloped desolate island, isn't it? Are you certain your territory can support so many serfs? Once food runs short, it could easily stir unrest in the territory. Besides, having serfs starve to death would be a tremendous loss."

"I have already stockpiled enough food for ten thousand people to survive the winter. Adding another ten thousand will only make the territory's food supply tight. I believe I can obtain food from other channels and hold out safely until next year's harvest," Liszt replied with complete confidence.

Those who live by the mountain eat from the mountain; those who live by the sea eat from the sea.
