Archer was standing on the top deck watching Verdantia appear on the horizon, making his paranoia increase the closer they got. Moments later, he sent out a flock of Mana Birds that flew toward land to see if any enemies were waiting to ambush the fleet while not actively fighting.
After a few minutes, the creatures spotted a Novgorod Fleet sailing in their direction. 'Are they trying to attack?' he mused.
Just then, Olivia's calm voice echoed in his mind, putting him at ease. 'Husband, the Alliance is sending a message that a fleet of theirs is here to escort us to Verdantia, thanks to rogue elements in the army.'
This caught his attention. 'Thanks for telling me, just saw them using the Mana Birds and wondered what they were up to,' he replied.
