Rapids Island.
More than two months had passed since Karda and his men had taken up residence here.
During that time, they had taken over Wally Knight's garrison. Now, the port was entirely manned by Karda's people.
Under their management, the former members of the Laren Association and the White Flower Association had mostly been put to work, and order was slowly being restored.
On a hill outside the port, Karda and his deputy, Lusen, watched two departing cargo ships loaded with the lumber they had collected over the past two months.
As previously agreed with Ronin, these two shiploads of cargo would be transported to Screaming Island.
If all went well, it would bring in an income of 700 Gold Coins.
Lusen frowned slightly. "Karda, it's been over two months. Why hasn't Lord Ronin come yet? He hasn't forgotten about us, has he?"
