If this dire situation continued without replenishing their dwindling food

supply, the entire army faced certain doom.

“Land in sight!” The cry echoed across the deck.

“Land in sight!” The joyful announcement rippled through the ranks like a

beacon of hope.

Amid this surge of optimism, a subordinate burst forth with a crucial update,

his voice tinged with urgency, “Commander, we’ve spotted land! Please give

the order to dock and resupply our provisions!”

“Excellent!” Emmanuel’s face lit up with relief and determination.

He immediately commanded the crew to anchor, their hearts swelling with

renewed hope. As they docked, a tense realization dawned upon them: the

island they had arrived at was a contentious territory, disputed between

Chanaea and a neighboring nation. Should the island still be under the

control of the neighboring country, the arrival of Chanaea’s forces might

provoke its inhabitants, leading to potential hostility and even violent

expulsion.

Emmanuel approached the locals with diplomatic intent, but his efforts were

met with cold resistance. With no viable alternative, he issued a decisive

order. Three thousand elite warriors from Dark Night Island swiftly descended

upon the island, their presence imposing and their actions resolute. The

anti–Dragon forces were overwhelmed, subdued, and forced to kneel in

submission.

The island’s residents were astonished by the Chanaea forces‘ formidable

strength. Three thousand warriors were more than sufficient; even three

hundred would have been more than enough to overpower the island’s

entire armed contingent.

“Listen up!” Emmanuel’s voice rang out with authoritative clarity. “This island

belongs to Chanaea! If you know what’s good
