Chapter 811 - Docking (2/2)

During the voyage, Shao Xuan learned of coastal affairs from Mu Fa. Unfortunately, the Longboat tribe never truly entered the main areas and most of what they knew was hearsay so it was difficult to differentiate the truths and rumours.

With their experience and boat improvements, the voyage was much shorter than Shao Xuan expected.

When they saw land, many on board felt like they were reborn.

“That is an important gathering point for Longboat,” pointed Mu Fa at a spot ahead, keeping his telescope.

This telescope was gifted to him by Shao Xuan, his people had attempted to replicate it but never could produce something as good as this one. That was why Mu Fa continued carrying this telescope around. It had brought them a lot of convenience during voyages.

Shao Xuan looked at the mainland appearing on the horizon. On this side, Mu Fa released smoke signals, and received a reply also as smoke signals on the other side. The port told them that everything was good and the fleet could dock without concern.

The Longboat tribe put in a huge effort in building this port.

Due to both continents gradually getting closer, more and more people knew of the other piece of land other than their own. That was why more people also tried to cross the ocean.

In the beginning, everyone knew there was a spot where both continents almost touched. That route would be the safest, they did not have to worry about harsh weather and the occasional sea beast that would attack ships. However, now that place must be avoided due to the war between Rock Hill and King City. A long portion of the coast there was guarded by soldiers too, anyone who wanted to cross the ocean had to look for another point.

After a while, more and more marine routes were discovered. The Longboat tribe was one of the tribes who had a conflict with local groups but the matter had been settled by force. Today, there were some groups who also knew of the Longboat tribe but after they tested the waters several times, they temporarily gave up on exterminating the Longboats.

But they must still be careful. That was why Mu Fa needed the smoke signals to report the conditions.

As the mainland approached, the people on the boat could see the coast clearly.

The environment around this port was very similar to their headquarters on the other side. They had chosen this similar environment on purpose, building it up till this day.

After they arrived, the fleet would recuperate for two days and then leave for the nearest city.

The people who were not accustomed to the boats rested on land while the others rested inside.

Mu Fa had described the terrain to Shao Xuan and brought them into the forest to gather food. This was not a dense forest with many animals so fearsome beasts were rare, just few wild animals. But now was not the time to be picky.

“Shao Xuan, do you think King City has received your letter? Do they know you’re coming?” asked Mu Fa.

Recalling the Changle people’s efficiency, Shao Xuan said with confidence, “Save for any mishaps, King City should have received news already. But I’m not sure if the other small and medium cities know.”
