An undead in the crows nest yelled there an armada coming from Port side. Decken look though his spyglass and counted three hundred warships mostly light frigates but there was also heavy frigates about forty ships of a line. Decken ordered all to battle stations then he shot a flare in the air. Then Decken send a message though undead to Diamond letting her know there is an armada about three miles from Rehall waters.
Decken ordered his ship to have her broadside to the armada and to have all guns ready to fire. The armada admiral watch.
Do we know who's ship that is asked rear admiral Kian?
By our intelligence it is the flag of the kingdom of freedom but our intelligence said they do not have a navel present reply the sailor.
Maybe not at the time but there is a ship of a line in front of us is it not asked rear admiral Kian?

Just then a flare was shot from the ship and rear admiral Kian watch the ship of a line turn to have her broadside at them and then he watch as all the gun ports open.

Another sailor yelled out rear admiral Kian there are more ships coming from the port side.
How many asked rear admiral Kian?
40 ships reply the sailor they look like sloop,
cutters , sloop of war, and war cutter.
Most of them look like sloops of war there is 20 of them.
Rear admiral Kian there is more on the starboard side yelled another sailor.
How many asked rear admiral Kian.
There is 10 small brigs of war and 2 war cutters.
So they have a navy it is small but it is a surprise reply rear admiral Kian. Be on high alert. I want all ships to make a full stop and send a small boat over to talk to their commander.
Just then princess Shannon walk up to rear admiral Kian.
Why did we make a full stop she asked.
Because we currently have ships up ahead that are blocking our way reply rear admiral Kian.
Princess Shannon look though her spyglass most of the ships are small but that ship of a line is a concern it is big and have about 150 gun and they have her broadside open and waiting to fire it have heavy guns on it it out guns most of our ships.
You are correct we are going to send a small boat to speak to them.
No reply princess Shannon have are ships get into battle formation and hold.
It will be about an hour before we will be able to do that reply rear admiral Kian9.
Just do it reply princess Shannon.
Yes princess reply rear admiral Kian.
After an hour they where ready. A sailor came up to them princess Shannon, rear admiral Kian we are in formation.
Good reply princess Shannon now send a small boat to the ship that look like the flagship. Rear admiral Kian send 10 sailors in a boat with his aid to make contact with the other ships.
After thirty minutes of rowing the small boat was next to the Decken flagship.
Decken ordered the undead to lower a rope ladder down to the boat. The aid and sailor climbed up the ladder and came face to with Decken.
I am Decken admiral of the kingdom of freedom and who are you.
I am captain Owen aid to rear admiral Kian from the chiris empire. We are on a peaceful mission to make allys on the other continents besides our own.
Can we proceed the way we where going.
No reply Decken you can not continue this way the only thing that way is the city of Rehull that is part of the kingdom of freedom.
Rehull is part of freedom we did not know reply captain Owen the last thing we knew was to was a free city that have a shipyard and a nice harbour.
It does have that but it is a part of the kingdom of freedom and an armada of a foreign nation entering their water could be considered an act of war reply Decken.
We did not mean it like that we did not know this was part of the kingdom of freedom reply captain Owen.
I have sent a messager to the capital and are waiting for orderes on how to proceed go back to your ship and let your rear admiral know if the order come to talk we will send a ship to your flagship to discuss what will happen next said Decken.
Captain Owen and the sailors left and rowed back to their flagship ship and reported to rear admiral Kian.
Rear admiral Kian I have returned said captain Owen.
What news do you have for me asked rear admiral Kian.
Rear admiral Kian the city of Rehull is now part of the kingdom of freedom and we are in there territorial waters. If we continue forward we will be in Rehall harbor.
So they are waiting for orders from the capital reply princess Shannon.
Yes reply captain Owen.
Just them the sailor in the crow nest yelled there a ship of a line coming from the starboard bow it massive.
Princess Shannon and rear admiral Kian look though their spyglasses.
That impossible it have at least 250 guns that unheard of reply rear admiral Kian.
No rear admiral Kian it have 400 guns on four decks reply princess Shannon.
It is a monster reply rear admiral Kian.
It is reply princess Shannon.
There more yelled the sailor in the crows nest there is at least one hundred sea orcs following it.
Sea orcs what are they asked princess Shannon.
They are sea dragons reply rear admiral Kian. Their are powerful and extremely dangerous.
Another sailor yelled the ship is heading towards us.
Hold your fire yelled rear admiral Kian.
Do not fire on anything unless we are fired upon. They watch as the moster of a ship get closer and closer unil it was right next to rear admiral Kian flag ship. Once the ship was next to rear admiral Kian flag ship the crew threw ropes to the other ship so they could tie them to the ship so they would not drift apart. The crew of the kingdom of freedom ship put a gangway across to rear admiral Kian flagship. Princess Shannon and rear admiral Kian watch as lady Diamond boarded their ship will 10 tomb guards.
Rear admiral Kian was the first to speak I am rear admiral Kian of the Chiris empire and this is the fifth princess princess Shannon.
I am lady Diamond of the kingdom of freedom why is the Chiris empire so far from their continent yous are about a four to five month travel from your empire to our kingdom.
It is simple we are looking for allies reply rear admiral Kian.
Why so far away from your own empire asked lady Diamond. There must be allies closer to you then us? Reply Diamond.
There is but we are trying to expand our border and trade routes reply princess Shannon.
That so reply Diamond.
Yes reply princess Shannon but we did not know we where entering your territorial waters. We where trying to get to Rehull to discuss with then about making a trade agreement. And possible sign a right way with them or possibly have them join our empire.
Your intell is not up to date ask Diamond.
No reply princess Shannon like you said lady Diamond it takes some time to get from one point to another but once we make a alliance or a right way we set up a teleportation circle and we can then teleport from place to place.
That must be useful reply Diamond.
It is reply princess Shannon but there is limitations to it.
That so reply Diamond. You and your armada can follow us back to Rehull and we can discuss this in more detail once we are on dry land.
Yes reply princess Shannon that would be nice and I have not been on dry land olin some time and I miss it.
Lady Diamond and her guards when back onto there ship and disconnected the ropes and turned around to head back to Rehull. The rest of the kingdom of freedom ships broke their formation and when back to their regular patrols. About a hour later the Chiris empire armada was in Rehall harbor. Princess Shannon, her guards and rear admiral Kian walk off of their ship and lady Diamond was waiting there to greet them. As soon as Diamond greeted them two large ships came in to dock fast and docked.
