The fleet moved slowly across the calm sea. When it set sail from Maruri Port, the ships were as large as a pack of wolves, but after the previous sea battle, only three remained. The other Iron Armor ships had either sunk during the Battle of Ice Bay or were so badly damaged that they couldn't keep up with the fleet and were left behind.
Even so, the remaining three Iron Armor ships were not in good condition. In pursuit of the Morning Glow Advance, its damage continued to worsen. Most importantly, despite the price paid, they still lost track of the Morning Glow Advance on a dark, moonless night.
The Blood Shark, in the best condition, sailed at the front. Laden with supplies and elite warriors and crew, it was the sharpest blade in the Plague Doctor's hand. It sliced through the waters, pressing forward.
"Is this... what they call the Silent Sea?"
