While Elen was acting for the good of the Nash family and the interests of the Black Plain, a few thousand miles away, four ships were sailing southward from the north.
In that region between the northern coast of the Kingdom of the Waves, the Peninsula of Waves, and Stone Island, that group was sailing at cruising speed, making their way to the Brown Kingdom.
But while these ships were traveling together, they were all very different from each other, as if they were from different organizations.
One of them looked like a large freighter, with several indications that it had been attacked. At the same time, its external appearance seemed much older than its internal.
On the other hand, the three ships that accompanied this freighter were significantly smaller, different from each other, and with various battle marks.
