Chapter 55

The sea shifted with the weather, but the Free Bay fleet had been fortunate. For over half a month, they had sailed without encountering any storms, maintaining a steady pace throughout.

Drogo’s flagship, Dragon Gallop, led the fleet with its sails fully unfurled, snapping in the shifting wind. The oarsmen rowed in perfect unison—so precise that the gap between ships never exceeded thirty yards, maintaining a strict battle formation. Drogo took great pride in that.

Due to his urgent timeline, just over a hundred warships had been seaworthy by the time of departure. Nearly twenty thousand warriors and thousands of horses were packed into them, making the ships feel cramped.
