Chapter 129: The Value of the Treasure (Happy New Year!)

There was nobody to greet them at the harbor. In fact, under Arthur's sudden command, the harbor went into a day-long alert, during which no unrelated individuals were allowed near.

Although people were unclear about what had happened at the harbor, they all respectfully kept their distance.

After all, since the alert was set to last only one day, it didn't greatly affect their lives.

Guided by the lead escort ship, two huge transport ships slowly docked at the harbor.

At the harbor, thousands of large boxes had been prepared in advance to house all the treasure. It was to be transported to a safe place for counting, masked under an inconspicuous appearance.

Just the task of packing all the treasures into the boxes consumed a substantial four hours of time.

To transport these treasures, Arthur had deployed scores of horse carriages and over a thousand royal guards for security.
