Leech chose to first open the letter from Longship Castle, sealed with wax.
"To Sir Leech Clarence, with greetings and due respect. The commoners of Longship Castle are suffering immensely under the frenzied attacks of the false bastard. They destroy farmland, burn villages, and hang all nobility. Longship Castle is willing to repay and complete your allotment of 500 slaves and will allow you to freely recruit craftsmen from Waterfall Land. In exchange, we hope to receive your assistance."
A straightforward plea for help.
'Five hundred slaves? It seems I only had a few dozen stolen. But factoring in those who were killed, injured, or suffering from diarrhea and unable to acclimate, it's probably about a hundred.'
As for the craftsmen from Waterfall Land, they were excellent sailors. While they didn't know how to build naval vessels, making small boats was not a problem for them at all.
The construction of docks, the development of a fishing industry.
