Sea traffic is not random, although it may seem the ocean is boundless, maritime routes are actually few and fixed.
If one deviates from these routes, the chance of encountering other ships decreases, and if danger strikes, one would be all alone without help.
What's more frustrating is that straying from these routes can lead to encounters with more pirates and uncharted reefs, and can take one away from the trade winds, affecting the ship's voyage.
The Poplar Kingdom of the Elf Race has always been a naval superpower, with better sailors and ships, as well as richer experience and a larger number of warships to maintain their lead.
Now, during the homeward season, countless ships traverse the sea, and some fleets can even see the end from the beginning.
These vessels carry steel purchased from all over the world and other goods, or directly carry Gold Coins, returning to the Poplar Kingdom to invigorate the entire Kingdom's economy.
