"Thank you very much." The admiral smiled and shook hands with Dhui.


    After the visit, it was clear that the admiral was fond of the idea of trading. It was quite surprising that Noel wanted to take down all the ancient demons, but he might be able to do it, considering his strength.


    Of course, during the first visit, the admiral was only apanied by several people and discussed the things they wanted to trade.


    After all, this was the purpose of their expedition.


    "Please take a look at this." The admiral pointed at the side with his hand. His assistant took out the veil covering the items.


    "They''re beautiful." Dhui nodded. "I bet they are going to be popr."


    "Thank you." He smiled.


    "If you would, you can also take a look at our city."


    "I would love to."


    "Great."


    As the trade was set up, they started pouring out all their items to see which ones interested them more. It didn''t take too long for them to have a tour around the city.


    Due to the difference in culture even from the Greenwood Kingdom, the admiral couldn''t help but get startled. Nevertheless, they still proceeded ording to the n and talked about the subjugation of all ancient demons.


    That night, the admiral visited Noel''s room.


    "How is it?" Noel asked.

    The admiral nodded. "We have received their cooperation. It''s thanks to you, Marquis."


    "Haha. That''s good. How about the other n?"


    "Yes. We have discussed it. ording to them, they will be providing everything from food to supplies. We''ll be supplying the personnel. Are you sure about this, Marquis?" The admiral asked.


    "Yes. I and Anna will be taking down the ancient demon while Rui, the spirit transcendence from their side, will take on the lower level demons. Your people will have to ensure that nothing goes wrong."


    "No. I mean, it''s extremely dangerous to fight against ancient demons…"Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Ah. If you can help me take out the superior demon crystals and the ancient demon crystals, you''re free to take everything else. Those cores will definitely be useful for our return trip."


    The admiral smiled wryly. Both of them surely knew what the admiral was talking about. However, Noel intentionally didn''t discuss it, as if telling him not to mind about it.


    "I understand. I will gather my troops and prepare them to make sure everything goes smoothly."


    Noel smiled and patted his shoulder. "Good. In that case, see you in two days."


    "Yes, sir!"


    The admiral was preparing for the trade and fight as he arranged his people to their respective positions.


    Unbeknownst to them, the danger had been looming around them. There was a pigeon that flew toward the north when no one was watching.


    As Dhui and Rui had previously stated, thend itself had multiple ns on it.


    The pigeon arrived at one of those ns.


    When they heard about this, they held a huge meeting.


    A muscr middle-aged man entered the room, walking past 15 kneeling men on the sides. He sat down on his small throne while raising his right foot.


    While drinking a jar of wine, he asked, "So?"


    The man on his right raised his head and exined, "We have just received the information that the Ui n has received the arrival of strangers. Apparently, they came from thend beyond the sea.


    "ording to the legend, the founder of martial arts, Ihui, also came from thend beyond the sea. Considering they came from the west, we could safely assume that they were from the same ce. And we have confirmed the existence of their boat.


    "They seemed to have reached an agreement with them. We are still unsure what kind of agreement they currently have, but I''m assuming they''re rted to trade and subjugation.


    "Those foreigners have a lot of unique stuff, so trade is understandable. As for the subjugation, we are still unsure about it."


    The middle-aged man had a big gulp before saying, "How do you know they''re nning a subjugation?"


    "They have set up a camp in the Ura Forest. We are unsure what they''re nning to do."


    The middle-aged man''s eyebrows twitched. "They''re aiming for the ancient demon in that forest. No, they might evene for other ancient demons. That n is trying to take advantage of the foreigner to take down the four heavenly disasters."


    "!!!" His retainers widened their eyes in disbelief.


    "What? They''re nning to take down…"


    The man snarled, "You can''t imagine it? Are you a fool? You should know how dangerous the sea is. Unless they have enough strength, they won''t be able to reach this ind."


    "Then, we have to stop them. If the Ui n was allowed to take down the four heavenly disasters, no one could keep them in check anymore."


    "Stop them? Are you a fool? I already told you that they needed strength to reach this ce. The fact they''re able to reach this ce means they have a spirit transcendence expert, and it''s not only one.


    "How to stop them? Attack their ship? That will just unleash their wrath upon us. The Ui n has been at the top because they have two spirit transcendence experts. If theye at us, we''ll be wiped out immediately."


    His retainers could only look down. They were trying toe up with a strategy, but there didn''t seem to be anything they could do.


    "Should we send someone to meet them and form a mutual rtionship with the foreigners? If we can hold them with marriages, we might be able to turn them against the Ui n."


    "I feel like a fool talking to you guys. All of you are useless. Do you think it''s possible? The Ui n would have done so if it''s possible. After all, they have Rui."


    They couldn''te up with a better solution.


    The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows before saying it with a cold tone. "We should sabotage them. If they''re truly aiming for the conquest of the four heavenly disasters, we should make that conquest fail with all of them suffering heavy injuries."
