His posture was upright, his steps brisk, and the face under his military cap was indeed familiar—he was the captain of the "Grace," Derek Hawthorn.
This captain, who had narrowly escaped death in the storm, had just docked at Saint Yil Castle and immediately stated that he had important matters to report, thus prompting General Hamoldon to summon him.
Passing by the quartermaster who was leaving the room, Derek marched up to the desk and stood at attention, offering a perfect military salute.
"General."
Hamoldon looked up at him.
"I heard you have important information to report to me in person."
Derek nodded, his expression serious as he spoke.
"Yes, regarding the anomalies during this voyage, I've compiled a written report, but there are certain details I believe I should explain personally."
Hamoldon gestured for him to continue.
With the general's silent approval, Derek did not hesitate and immediately recounted in detail his experiences on the Gana Continent.
