Chapter 127 (2)

"Lyon Guild members have been too confident lately," he said.

"We have to find a way to survive. I'm not kidding, we need to find a way to survive right now."

Joseph quickly racked his brain.

What would be the best course of action in this situation?

'Even if we give up on this and go back to sea...'

Joseph was not unaware of the significantly strengthened naval forces compared to the past.

He also knew very well about the navy's battleships, which had grown to an incomparable size compared to their heyday.

'No, there's no chance there now. And now I have a family.'

"I don't think going back to sea is a good idea."

The union representative agreed with his words.

"We've finished our business on the sea. We went to see the former governor just to try our luck, and it's too late to go back to sea. We've become too accustomed to life on land."

"So what should we do? Even if we fight the guild here, it's not like we have a chance to win. And if we try to do things the way we used to..."

"Ismail will stop that. They'll kill me before I can twist that kid's head off. Poison or whatever."

"Then, isn't this a big problem?"

"That's why we're looking for a way to survive right now, you bastard!"

Joseph continued to search for a way to survive with a serious expression, as if it was his own business.

'What's a good move... That's right. If it's already a lost cause, that might be better.'

"Warren, what about this instead?"

When it seemed like Joseph had a good idea, the union representative quickly showed interest.

"Do you have a good plan?"

"Actually, it's more of a..."

"It's time to end this damned life on land. I've forgotten that I was originally a sea man. A sailor is always a sailor. What the hell is this life on land?"

Warren, who was swaggering, yelled at his subordinate lying on the floor.

"I'll finish up here soon and head to sea. You go and find a ship that can go to the pirate island. I need to gather brave pirates to fight under my name again. And I'll buy a lot of pirate ships with the money I've made here. I'll become the old me again."

The union representative could not contain his excitement at the thought of becoming a pirate again, and Joseph, lying on the floor, looked up at him in silence with a mix of emotions.

A few days passed.

Warren Dragoon, who had converted all the assets he had accumulated as a union representative into gold coins, left for the harbor with several carriages loaded with the coins on a dark night.

The city was dark without a single light, and the union representative, looking at the city, smiled lightly.

'I don't feel much even though I won't see it again. Yes, this wasn't my hometown.'

"Is the ship ready?"

In the carriage he was riding, his subordinate Joseph was also there.

"Yes, everything is prepared as you ordered, Sir Warren. A smuggler will be waiting for us at the harbor now."

At those words, Warren's expression soured.

"Warren, what are you talking about? Now that I've become a pirate again. Just call me as you used to. Captain."

"Yes... Captain."

"Well, it's time to say goodbye here. I probably won't come back again."

As they arrived at the harbor, their carriage was suddenly stopped by the appearance of imperial soldiers.

Warren, taken aback by the unexpected event, looked out the window with a puzzled expression.

"What, what is it? What are those soldiers doing?"

At that, Joseph quickly went outside and started running somewhere.

'What is that guy doing now?'
