Capítulo 87: Meeting The Legend.

Edward had arrived directly to the capital with his fleet on the 5th of the threatening letter's arrival. With his fleet still not reaching the country, he decided to hold a meeting with Lucius to acquire information on the enemy.

"Mr Edward, welcome to Britannia, Hope you are enjoying our warm welcome. How do you find our noble land."

"Lucius Artorius, I am pretty amused by your welcoming of us, Although it is quite similar to the last time I came here."

"The last time? So, you were part of the civil war?"

Lucius had come to know that Edward shared a part of Ethereo's History, which piqued his curiosity.

"Well, it was 7 years ago, I was a blockade runner, and your anti-monarch faction had sieged this whole section. My job was to secretly supply royal troops with supplies. I think the city's name was Wales."

"Ahh, Wales, so that's why it took the soldiers 4 years to take over that place."

"It would've taken longer if the Royal soldiers didn't gon insane from all the isolation, I would still be supplying the stuff."

"Well that's talk of the past, let's talk more about the present, are you in consensus with me about the Job."

'Yes, I agree, but I want to ask about the reward..."

"I know about the 200 slaves, that's a lie."

"A lie?"

"Yes, I Know you are not a man of money, You would've come here if I said that I'll simply free 100 slaves for negotiations."

Lucius had a grin on his face showing his pride at being able to bait, one of the most wanted men in the world.

"Hmm, I am amused, you know a lot about me?"

"I know so many things... but let's talk about what matters the most. Your opponent for this job-"

"- is Saxony, your neighbouring kingdom, I've heard they killed your old king not too soon, You just called me because you didn't have confidence in your people that they could defend you."

Edward shot an intent glare at Lucius, whose smirk had vanished with Edward's proposition.

"Well, we are a nation with great military tech and general but we can't prepare them for people like you."

"Oh, so there are navy fighters in of my class here-"

"NO, there are some people, who have an inhuman level of strength and agility, they wear cloaks and carry with them every weapon needed in combat for a person."

Edward's eyes dilated as he remembered something about his past. He ultimately got lost in thought for a second before coming to his senses.

" It is possible to raise such brutes, you know, I have got many of my known."

"Let's cut the useless chatter Edward, I know you were once one of them 'Assassins', known for supreme stealth and extreme loyalty to their master, ready to sacrifice their lives at any moment."

"..."

"SO, after hearing this would you like still take the job?"

Edward closed his eyes and leaned backwards, his mind relieved of moments of Bloodshed, crying victims, and the body of someone extraordinary and whatnot; he could not let that place exist ever again.

He looked right into Lucius's eyes,

"I don't how you know about me, but get the reward ready, I know Saxony has 4 forts right, 5 chests for each fort. I will leave for the attack tomorrow with the ships I have as of now."

"I would love to see that happen, I will schedule a few soldiers for your help."

Edward turned around and started to walk out of the door.

"Also, please try to talk to me with more respect next time."

Edward didn't glance back one bit and kept walking forward.

The next day Edward was given 800 Britannian men, and he carried with him a massive fleet of 12 ships, which were the most feared things in the southeast oceans, even more than the natural disasters.

They set sail for the closest port to the city, less than a day's travel away.

"Edward, it has been a while since you seem to be this enthusiastic about something, what happened in that meeting."

"Nothing, that a man just got on the nerves, I'll just show him what can I do as a pirate."

Within a day, the port of Fia was surrounded by Edward's fleet, and the battle stage is set.
