　It seems that being rooted to the ground is not good for being on a rocking boat.

"Since I didn't have to take over the family, I was asked to organize the men at sea. They are all fired up, feeling that it would be a shame to be outdone by the men of the Giant Island Division. If you wish, we can go directly to the former king's stronghold without going ashore.

"Not a bad move, but the former king is based inland. Let's start with the front and take it from there. Many of our men are not accustomed to long boat rides.

　The former King Pahtus has "moved" to the city of Soferi, right on the border of the territories of the two great island lords, Count Talmud and Count Samyus. This may be a result of his concern for both of the two lords. A state of war between the two would be the worst thing that could happen to the former king. It will take all the power of the people of Giant Island to retake the capital.

　There must have been a regent who acted as a regent for a time, but he had to rush back to the capital in a hurry because of the rebellion while he was away from his home base. Therefore, they do not like to leave their lands too much.

　Besides, the great lords of the Giant Islands are proud that their lands are inherently more culturally advanced than the Giant Islands. In the past, there was a vassal who suggested that the whole island should be independent from the Kingdom of Thirlwil. In fact, it used to be a separate country.
