Hearing Ji Gong's explanation that there was a port city nearby that was only two hundred kilometers away, Joan immediately ordered them to pack up and resume their voyage after having enough rest.
Quickly all tents are dismantled, folded put into the space ring. Tables, chairs, all the tools are stored in the space ring. Try if the author has a ring like this, surely there is no need to bother renting a truck to move houses.
Using lifeboats, they returned to their ships. Developing the ship's sail, the captain steered the ship in the direction it was headed by along the coastline.
Along the coastline was filled with mangrove trees, they could see small monkeys leaping on the trees being chased by a python. Of course they are not trying to help the monkey, let nature take its own course.
Half a day's journey, the harbor appeared from a distance, a city that looked quite prosperous. From a distance there was a large crowd of people standing in the harbor, how many ships were docking there.
Joan, Andi, General Loe Som Bong and how many officers were standing on the ship's bridge looking towards the harbor.
Approaching a distance of five hundred meters from the port, suddenly from the scouts on the top of the mast the ship exclaimed;
"Revelation ! The offensive".
From a distance there were thousands of black dots with flames at the end flying towards their ships. Not understanding what was happening, General Loe Som Bong shouted;
"Enable shield".
"Wungg"
A golden beam shot into the sky forming a dome that enveloped the three ships. Thousands of arrows were immediately blown away as soon as they touched the shield dome that fell in the sea.
"Jess"
The sound of the fire being extinguished by the sea water was heard everywhere but the fire arrow attack did not stop there, thousands of fire arrows flew back towards the ship, and the fire arrows flew towards the ship, everything was again countered by that golden shield dome.
When the attack stopped, General Loe Som Bong immediately raised his voice in the direction of the port
"Please stop the attack, we come with peaceful intent".
General Loe Som Bong's voice echoed over the air of the port.
The people in the harbor immediately stopped their attack and someone who appeared to be their leader replied to the words of general Loe Som Bong.
"Which side you are on, sorry we don't know you".
General Loe Som Bong returned this remark.
"We from the navy of the Sky Empire on the Continent of Etam asked the permission of the ruler of this port to come in order to foster friendship with other countries here"
"Oh sorry, we've been rude, we thought you were black skull pirates".
The leader said again.
"Please put your ships in our harbor, we welcome you with open arms ".
General Loe Som Bong retracted the shield dome, though it did not relax the vigilance. They brought the ships to approach the port, there were no more arrow attacks so they believed that the people in the port had indeed misunderstood the intent of their arrival.
There were about two hundred people standing at the edge of the harbor, a hundred of them holding crossbow-type arrow weapons that could launch ten arrows in one shot, the rest of the others held swords and spears.
The crew threw the rope and some people in the harbor helped to tie the rope to the wooden stake that was there.
After allowing them all to sit down, the city lord blessed his welcome.
"Pardon our unfriendly welcome, may you not put it in your heart".
"It's okay city lord Jin, we can understand".
Joan said, hearing Joan answer her words, the city lord soon realized that the leader of these people was not the general Loe Som Bong but the young lady who spoke to him at this time. His attitude became much more respectful towards Joan.
"Sorry miss....".
"Oh sorry I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Joan, I am the leader in Genteng village and beside me this is the third prince of the Sky Empire in Etam Continent ".
" Miss Joan, third prince".
Master Ji nodded his head and then continued his words.
"We've heard of the greatness of the Celestial empire. The most powerful country in the Etam Continent, many of our merchants trade all the way to the Sky Empire country but sorry for the Tile village, we have never heard of it, whether it is a village in the Sky Empire, it is a village in the Sky Empire, but forgive me if I'm wrong. Doesn't the Sky Empire have no naval fleet and no coastline, why can you have ships that frankly only this time I see ships that look so tough".
"Indeed, Mr. Jin, this Genteng village is one of the villages in the country of the Sky Empire, precisely located in Kubar district, precisely these ships come from our village, our village is actually in a hidden Blue Phoenix bay so many other countries thought we didn't have a coastline. Precisely our coastline is at the end of the Etam Continent".
Joan explained at length about Genteng village while Andi who was not too fond of talking to strangers only noticed Joan from the side. Andi loved to pay attention to Joan's lips as she spoke, during that trip, she had absolutely no chance to kiss Joan because Joan was sleeping together with Mo Ying.
Joan recalled the welcome attack they had received upon entering the harbor so she could not help but ask that".
"Sorry city lord Jin, why are you shooting at us with arrows when our ships are about to enter the harbor "
Joan had already heard the town leader's words about the black skull pirate but she pretended not to understand.
"Yes, I'm sorry to say, ladies, we thought you were the most fearsome pirates on the peninsula, they usually only attack merchant ships but for some reason lately they have also started attacking port cities, there are already five port cities that they have looted and they usually come with three big ships and they have sent us news to answer their demands and provide wealth in numbers that are not maybe we fill it, otherwise they'll bury this place. That's why we thought your ships were black skull pirates".
The explanation of the city lord of Jin made Joan's side understand the reason the city lord ordered an attack on them earlier.
"Actually our strength would have been meaningless, had you been the pirates we might have perished by now. Our city only has two hundred bodyguards who do not have the ability to ward off powerful enemy attacks, our average cultivation is only at low rank".
"Do you not seek help from military officials in your provincial city or the capital of your country".
"We have asked for it but until now none of them have come, this port city we are small and insignificant, so who would bother to take care of us"
Continue master Jin while shaking his head.
"When they're coming, we'll help you sort this out".
Joan said firmly, Master Jin looked at Joan, he did not see the eyes of doubt in the eyes of this young lady instead he could see that the eyes of this young lady were so sharp it exuded a powerful aura.
"We don't know Miss , they just said this week, that's why we're keeping watch at the port, while some of the town's residents have been ordered to evacuate, so forgive us for not being able to give a decent welcome ".
"Oh no problem city lord Jin, alright we will make arrangements in advance. Let's go back to port first".
Mr. Jin nodded his head, leading Joan and the others to return to port.
The city lord welcomed Joan's words
