Muddy Waters - The pirates on the Bay (I)

Contrary to most Stahl's villages, Frostwave Bay lacked defensive walls, presenting itself as a seemingly simple and defenseless village, despite being the most important city in the entire East. Positioned between forested hills and the vast sea, the city had a natural protection from external threats. The only way to access Frostwave Bay was via the White Merchant Road, a land route that linked the city to the rest of the kingdom.

"Are you sure these numbers are accurate?" - Henry asked, reviewing the documents in his hands as they descended the forested hills. The bay had already been hidden from view by the dense foliage. 

Walking closely behind the mounted king, Benjamin nodded firmly - "Yes, my king. General Iosif provided this information, and we confirmed it with the soldiers who accompanied him."
