Chapter 255 Leaving the Elves

General Pew and the second vessel that came to shore with him leave immediately with Prince Sven, rushing back to the capital so that they can drop him off and rejoin the armada.

Cain watches the graceful exit of their ships, how they tweak the water and wind magic to maneuver in close quarters, the smooth way they build up the speed and how their crews adjust the sails so precisely to gather every bit of the wind and save on mana usage. 

It's extremely impressive, and really highlights how a well trained crew can get so much more out of a ship than a bunch of amateurs, as Cain's Puppets are. Sure, they have Apprentice sailing skills, but that's really only enough to know their way around the vessel without getting lost on which line is which.
