After a short while, a trio of relatively large battle ships that became tiny in comparison, approached the Fortress Ship that Wu Long and his ladies traveled on.

"This is the naval territory of the Island Kingdom of Lihai, please identify yourselves and your purpose of visit", a voice resounded from one of the ships, slightly nervous in the beginning as the one speaking likely first cleared his throat a few times before using a volume-amplifying array.

"Heh, as expected of a Naval Kingdom", Wu Long chuckled as Cao Xiang's sailors started exchanging a dialogue with the patrol ships far below and in the distance, him and his ladies watching while standing at the edge of the terrace.

The subsequent dialogue was more of a formality, as the Kingdom did not restrict the waterway, the patrol only collecting a toll and making sure it was not a military invasion from one of the continent nations, subsequently notifying the Kingdom about the incoming ship's presence.
