Chapter 454: Conclusion

Editor: Tseirp

A ceasefire flag was hoisted on the flagship of the Suje Kingdom.

The semaphore signal was also being conveyed within the Suje Kingdom’s navy.

As a result, the fighting began to subside.

Finally, Abel had a moment to drink the potion he was holding.

“Abel-san! As expected... whoa!”

The one who ran up to Abel was Guard Captain Bansox.

However, he was surprised to see the blood spreading at Abel’s feet and the large hole in his armor.

“Bansox, this is Admiral Rockday, the fleet commander of the Suje forces. He has surrendered to us. Escort him to the ship with due respect.”

“Ah, understood. But wouldn’t it be better to heal the admiral first?”

“Hmm? Ah, I forgot. You have a big hole in your stomach too, uh?”

Bansox looked at Admiral Rockday’s condition and suggested, and Abel remembered.

“That because you stabbed me with your sword.”

Admiral Rockday said weakly, but clearly, to Abel.

“Only two of the five stone spears I launched hit you...”

“Yeah. The ones aiming for my throat, chest, and left leg were blocked by the sword’s blade.”

“Unbelievable...”

Abel answered casually, and Admiral Rockday was astonished.

“Here, this is a special potion I got. Drink it.”

Abel said, handing Rockday a potion he took out from his pocket.

“You think a potion will heal such a wound?”

Bansox’s words could be heard.

It was indeed a rather severe wound.

The sword had pierced through the stomach to the back, and the hole had enlarged from being twisted a little...

Rockday silently drank the potion he had been given.

And then...

The large hole closed up.

“Are you serious!”

Bansox exclaimed in surprise.

“I saw your wound healing, but now that it happened to me... I understand that I drank something extraordinary.”

Admiral Rockday said, touching his stomach and looking at the crystal-like bottle the potion had been in.

“It’s a special potion made by Ryo. I don’t know much about it, but it should work better than normal potions.”

“Better than normal? You’d need a considerable amount of money to get something like this.”

Rockday said, exasperated at Abel’s words.

Once Rockday’s astonishment subsided, he looked at his fallen comrades on the deck.

“I remember, you were Admiral Rockday of the Central Navy. You gave a courteous explanation during the war game exercise of the Kingdom Navy some years ago.”

“Yes. I’m honored that you remember, even though it’s been three years...”

Rockday’s respect was not perfunctory.

Those around could see it was genuine respect from the bottom of his heart.

“Admiral, why did you do this...”

Princess Iliaja also sensed the sincerity in Admiral Rockday’s respect.

That is why she asked.

“Of course, to bring Your Highness back to the kingdom.”

Rockday said this and looked up at Princess Iliaja clearly.

His expression showed no hint of doubt.

That is why she couldn’t understand.

“Why...”

Princess Iliaja’s murmur was so faint that it reached no one else’s ears.

The attacking fleet had surrendered.

Although they had surrendered, how to handle them was a headache for the transport fleet.

Normally, they would be disarmed, follow the victorious fleet, and call at the port of the Komakyuta Principality.

Then, negotiations would be conducted with the Suje Kingdom.

However, this time, only eleven ships of the transport fleet survived.

Moreover, two of those ships were barely operational.

Unable to match the speed of the others.

In other words, there were only nine escort ships and the Bashteek ship.

Having the Suje Kingdom’s fleet follow them was... frankly terrifying.

Of course, Admiral Rockday, the fleet commander, and Commander Monrashou of the First Assault Unit were in custody on the Bashteek ship, but... there was no guarantee that nothing would happen.

Besides the five galley-type assault ships, there were twelve intact ships.

If they attacked all at once...

It was a nightmare that couldn’t be ignored.

In the end, only three ships, including the flagship of the attacking fleet, were to follow the transport fleet.

The remaining fourteen ships would voluntarily head to a port of the Komakyuta Principality and anchor offshore, awaiting orders...

The transport fleet wasn’t sure if this was acceptable... but they couldn’t think of a better solution.

“There are ways like connecting all the ships with chains of ice or putting them in ice coffins and letting them float at sea.”

Muttered a water-attribute magician, but Abel ignored him.

Poor thing.
