This is quite easy to understand, both of them nodded.
Where there’s loss, there’s gain. Such a slight loss is truly insignificant.
It’s not that you won’t get it, but it’s given to you stage by stage.
Alyris was beside them the whole ti, looking confused. Her head still had a slight ache, and her body felt sowhat weak.
But she really didn’t understand these words, perhaps His Highness had done sothing that surprised them.
"Kana, thank you." The Count turned to Kana and said solemnly.
The Count clearly understood the benefits these abilities bring to those truly in combat.
Just by watching and understanding, one can definitely realize. After experiencing it seriously, he will only be more satisfied.
Kana smiled: "I should be thanking you." He said and tapped his own chest.
Seeing this scene, the Count shook his head with a laugh: "Not only did you save Ichard, but you also gave us both such powerful abilities.
Most importantly, I believe you could have escaped to the Cohen early on by yourself.
But you didn’t do that; you stayed to provide us with suggestions, and even prepared an escape route for us.
Whether it was the fishn or the group of dwarves who saved us, forgive for not witnessing their heroics.
These are all the help you provided. Without them, we would have long fallen there.
We might have been trapped to death in Lake City long ago."
As he spoke, the Count was both affirming Kana’s contributions and reflecting on a series of wrong decisions of his own.
Kana smiled briefly, not deflecting this ti.
"Then, what should we do next?" The Count looked up at the sky and sighed, sowhat perplexed.
Ichard suggested: "How about we return to the riverboat first and gather Udo and the others to discuss?
At this speed, we might reach the estuary by tomorrow morning, and with our fishman friends, we don’t have to worry too much about dangers in the water."
Hearing this, the Count nodded.
A Knight standing behind the Count stood up and said, "I’ll swim over and have the riverboat co by."
"No need to trouble yourself." Kana said.
He knocked on the edge of the raft in front of everyone.
A fishman bubbled up his head, Kana looked at this fishman’s dumbfounded face, suddenly realizing he looked familiar.
Wasn’t this the sa fishman who was first caught by the fishern?
Looking at the fishman’s appearance, his perplexed gaze, he obviously had forgotten Kana.
Kana began waving his hands and feet, conveying ssages through gestures.
The fishman watched for a mont, nodded to show understanding, and subrged again, disappearing.
"So, that’s how you communicate with fishn?" The Count couldn’t help but murmur.
Fortunately, people on the ship had roughly heard that Kana could communicate with fishn, though it was the first ti a few had seen it.
Only Anita showed a surprised expression beside them, and she was looking at Kana with a curious gaze.
This Prince was very interesting, quite unlike most people from Safro.
Didn’t seem like soone from the Kingdom of Safro.
The raft they were riding was pushed by fishn to approach the riverboat, and then a rope ladder was lowered from the riverboat.
Everyone climbed up, the empty raft couldn’t be abandoned.
A few soldiers descended from the crowded riverboat, along with several spry middle-aged people.
They were also responsible for bringing over commanders from other rafts.
The people on the ship cleared out a slightly cramped empty room.
They found the rough map they had prepared earlier, which included more than half of Cohen Kingdom’s territory.
Soon enough.
Udo, Nado, Yara, along with the Count’s deputy ca up.
Among them, Udo was still wrapped in bandages, and looked the worst injured.
Kana glanced over, at least better than when the plot started; at least so people are still present, so limbs are still present.
At this point, another person walked in.
The Count glanced at him, slightly dazed, seemingly thinking about who he was.
He then rembered and asked, "Where’s Jonel?"
Kana recognized who he was, Jonel’s deputy, Kana had dealt with him several tis.
He pressed his lips, sadness flashed across his face, lowering his head, he said: "I went searching, heard from a Knight that the mayor...sacrificed himself."
The battle was too chaotic then, and after retreating to the raft, there was no ti or opportunity to count numbers.
These words made the room suddenly quiet.
Jonel was an old knight, everyone present knew him, and even those like Blake regarded him as a family mber.
For a mont, Kana also felt his emotions were a bit off.
In the town, Kana had the most dealings with Jonel.
Seed strict, looked stern, but actually was kind-hearted.
Of course, there’s a bit of stubbornness for not admitting age.
What was most heartbreaking was that they couldn’t even retrieve Jonel’s body.
All the warriors’ bodies who sacrificed in the combat were left behind, they were powerless to recover them.
"We will co back for revenge!" The Count’s voice was calm, yet so firm.
He lifted his head to scan over everyone, all officers previously present, of course along with Kana and Alyris and Blake.
Anita naturally didn’t enter, she found a place to rest imdiately after coming up.
After all, she was just here to gather information, collect intelligence, and offer so aid.
Whether she knew Kana or the Count, was just for a few days.
"Now, let’s decide what to do next. We face a future shrouded in uncertainty." The Count said, tapping the map on the table.
Everyone gathered around to look at the map, learning so information from it.
Honestly, even they wouldn’t know Cohen Kingdom well, let alone the Eastern Wilderness where even Cohen hasn’t developed much.
For a mont, everyone including the Count fell into inexplicable silence.
They were already quite at their wit’s end.
Kana glanced at everyone, suddenly tapped the table to draw their attention.
Then he said, "If you don’t mind, how about listening to my plan?"
The Count nodded, "Of course."
Everyone’s gaze carried no other emotion, seemingly awaiting Kana’s plan.
After all, the series of actions earlier already proved the foresight of Kana’s plans.
"Then, let’s start with the point where we will land." Kana said, gesturing to the beach around the estuary.
