On the last day of July, Clemento, who had been waiting impatiently in the Roman Islands, finally saw the fleet of the Kingdom of Saint-Luc in the port.

Federici, who was standing beside him, had a gloomy face as he looked at the lead ships of the Rose Fleet entering the harbor. He then turned to Clemento and said:

"These guys were very fast in their escape before, but this time they were as slow as a group of snails."

“It makes me sick.”

Clemento's face didn't look good either, but he still tried to comfort him, "Okay, Federici, don't blame them too much. What happened in the past is in the past."

"This time we must unite and work together to defeat the Yan Kingdom Navy. I don't want conflicts to arise within us before we even reach the South China Sea."

"Yeah." Federici agreed coldly, then he turned and left with his arms folded.

Looking at his departing back, Clemento frowned. Although Luxembourg and Hungary have stopped the war and are living in peace with each other now, they were still fighting each other a few years ago, and the old feud between the two countries has not been completely eliminated.

If it were normal times, this would naturally not be a bad thing for the Sari Kingdom, but now it is a war period, and it is a punitive war led by their own country. If conflicts arise among their subordinates at this time, it will undoubtedly have a certain impact on the subsequent operations.

During the days of waiting in the Roman Islands, Clemento discovered that Federici's hostility towards the Shenglu people had reached a worrying level. He wanted to go over and persuade him, but found that it was something he could not do.

Because the reason why Federici's hostility towards the Shenglu people increased was the secret letter sent by Her Majesty the Queen.

"The failure of the South China Sea War was partly due to the sudden withdrawal of the Rose Fleet."

It was this statement that led to the intensification of the Hungarian hostility. Clemento knew that this was because Her Majesty the Queen wanted to put pressure on the Huns to do so, but this statement undoubtedly made the Hungarians angry. After all, there has always been a feud between them and the Huns. Their withdrawal led to the annihilation of the Sea Lion Fleet, which was really infuriating.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have said that. Now it seems that this approach is not appropriate." Clemento sighed inwardly, but still braced himself and waited for the arrival of the Shenglu people.

After a while, as the first ships arrived at the port, Clemento finally waited for Lucat's arrival.

Inside the fortress on the shore.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"We need to prepare a lot for this voyage, which is why we have been delayed for some time."

As soon as he entered the room, Lucat took off his hat and gave an apologetic smile to the people sitting at the table.

Federici sat in a chair, while Clemento stood beside it with his back to Lucat, looking at the nautical chart hanging on the wall.

Federici crossed his arms, squinted his eyes, grinned and said, "How many years have you been preparing the sailing supplies?"

Lukat said nothing, and Federici continued, "Since it takes so long to prepare and your sailing speed is so slow, I think we should be able to reach the South China Sea next summer."

"You'll have to prepare enough supplies for four or five years to go back and forth, haha."

His ridicule did not make Lucat angry. He remained calm. Clemento turned around at this time:

"Okay, stop joking."

"Our operation this time will not take too long, so we don't need to prepare any extra supplies."

"Sit down, Lucat."

Lucat glanced at the people sitting at the table. There weren't many people, but the shoulder straps on each of their military uniforms indicated that they held a high position.

Deputy Leto pulled out a chair, and after Lucat sat in it, Clemento continued:

"We were originally scheduled to complete the voyage by the end of this month, but we are now delayed." He gave Lucat a deep look.

"However, a few days' delay will not affect the subsequent voyage, and I believe Marshal Lucat has used this time to make more thorough preparations." He looked at Lucat and said.

Lucat uttered a low “hmm.”

Seeing this, Clemento picked up the pine branch on the table, pointed to the nautical chart hanging on the wall and said:

"As you can see, it's a long journey from the Roman Islands to Yan Country. If we don't encounter bad weather this time, I think we will arrive at the South China Sea controlled by Yan Country around the end of September."

"Of course, as you all know, the weather in summer is changeable, so it will probably take us longer."

"In order to save time, in addition to our respective fleets, our country of Sari has already sent enough supply ships to go ahead. They will set up supply stations on the large islands encountered in the first third of the voyage."

"This means that we can sail at full speed from now on. We don't have to worry too much about supply issues, let alone the materials needed for the return voyage. We will be supported. These matters will be fully handled by our Sa-ri Congress."

"Good!" Federich was the first to say good, and then everyone followed suit.

Lucat thought that the reason why Sarri made such a big move was simply because "the more I do, the more I will gain". What is there to praise about it? It's all for profit.

Clemento moistened his throat and continued, "Originally, the people sitting here should be from four countries, but as you all know, the Delta Federation is on the Salisno continent, so they can't reunite with us. But it doesn't matter, they will reunite with us in the middle of the voyage, which is on Charme Island."

"After we successfully reunite, we will go to Yan Country together. During this process, I hope that everyone present here can put aside everything that is not related to this battle and let us work together to complete the conquest of Yan Country!"

As he spoke, his eyes turned to Lucat and Federici who was sitting opposite him.

Lukat nodded and said, "Okay."

Federici shrugged and said, "Since everything is ready, we can set sail tomorrow, right?"

"I can't wait to see those Yan guys groaning in the gunfire...haha." He grinned, revealing a cruel smile.

Seeing this smile, Clemento's pale face turned a sickly red. He grinned and glanced at everyone: "Not only you, I think everyone here can't wait."

"I think each of you has already thought about what this crusade will bring us."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

What could this crusade bring? Glory, merit, new colonies, praise from the people at home, recognition from the emperor, promotion and honor, and a bright future.

Almost everyone thinks so and is excited about it.

Amid laughter, the meeting lasted until the afternoon. The atmosphere became more and more harmonious. Almost everyone's face flushed with excitement. Laughter broke out from time to time, and even Clemento felt a lot more relaxed.

And finally, they set the sailing date, which is tomorrow, the first day of August.

-

The next day, at the Roman Islands Pier.

The flags of the three countries were flying on the flagpoles, dancing in the wind. Countless people stood under the flags. They were the soldiers stationed in the Roman Islands.

"Conquer them! Make them recognize what kind of country we are!"

"Let them pay with blood! Kill them!"

"Purify those demons with artillery fire and drive them back to hell!"

"God, please bless our warriors and make their journey a success!"

Amid the anticipation and cheers of countless people at the port, the warships of various countries anchored at the port raised their anchors, hoisted their sails, and set off on their journey to conquer the Yan Kingdom again.

"Be careful enough..." Lucat on the deck closed his eyes and whispered softly.
