Well, with the overly arrogant Morgs out of the way, Landon focused on his meeting with the ambassadors of Carona, Terique and Arcadina.

Of course, there were several government officials in different departments as well.

Today, they were gathered here for 2 purposes.

The first was transport.

"Your Majesty Landon, as planned, port construction and organization within Arcadina is completed."

"Yes, your workers were also able to complete everything in Terique too."

The Arcadinian and Teriquen ambassadors were delighted with the report that they received a while back.

In June, they selected estates within the desired Coastal city in their empires, and the Baymardian workers came over to work on them.

Wooden customer service counters were made, the reception areas were adequately organized, and many other amenities were added to the estate too.

Additionally, thousands of horses, wagons and carriages were bought as well.

And taxi drivers were hired.

There were also a ton of workers third to clean, take care of the horses, and so on.

Additionally, some were hired to work alongside the Baymardians to book people on the ships.

Like Carona's situation, many Caronians worked alongside some Baymardians in filling the booking form and giving the customers tickets.

The area was similar to Customer service booths in banks.

They were very close together so that if a Caronian worker needed help or was lost, he/she could just ask any of the Baymardian workers next to them.

One should know that in the future, Carona will have complete control of its port.

So this was more like training to make sure that when the time came, they would be able to cope without Baymard's aid.

Anyway, in June, they focused on organizing, buying and arranging everything that they needed.

And by August 15th, they were officially done.

Now was September, and the transport launch date was in 2 days.

So how could they not be excited?

.

"Your majesty, finally, we will have fast transport between our empires!

I can't believe that the ride will take only 4 days and 3 hours from here to Igoro city in the Northwestern region of Terique.

The journey alone should be taken 5 months by sea.

But now it's been reduced to a matter of days.

This is undoubtedly good news for the people."

"I agree.

From here to Pilau City in the North of Arcadina will take 2 days and 14 hours to complete.

Which is unfathomable when compared to its previous 3 and a half~4-month journey."

The ambassadors and officials exclaimed joyfully, and everyone else nodded their heads in agreement.

It was truly outstanding.

It might seem like nothing, but in these times, transport and complication really slowed them down.

Merchants suggested the most while waiting for ages just to receive their goods.

But now, Baymard had reduced the wide gap.

Now all they had to worry about was the long transport time within their empire when moving from city to city.

At least half of the journey time was decreased, so they weren't complaining much.

It was better than spending 4 months on sea, and then another 1,2,3,4 to even 5 months on the roads just to get home by carriage.

Landon looked at their gleeful expressions and smiled.

Everything was going according to plan.

And the great thing was that they would be able to travel to other empires on ship.

That is, they could book tickets from Carona to Terique with no stops.

Unlike airplanes with a 21~23 hours fuel time limit, ships could go on for 10~12 days without fueling.

From Arcadina to Terique, a ship could take 2 and a half days or so.

And that same ship could leave Terique and head straight back to Baymard in 4 days and a few hours before refuelling.

Anyway, the schedule made it so that all ships would be back in Baymard before they were 80% empty.

Many could just go for no-stop trips, while others would still have to stop in Baymard.

If someone wanted to go from Terique to Carona or vice verse, they had to stop at Baymard

The journey was way too close to that 80% fuel mark.

So they had to stop for fueling only.

.

Speaking of having ship transfers, sadly, there will be none.

With no phones in other empires, they couldn't know how many people booked the tickets daily.

So what they could do was guarantee an empty ship to book the rooms the customers needed without fearing that someone who wanted to transfer would take their rooms.

In the case of some ships stopping in Baymard, it wouldn't be considered a transfer since no one left the ship during fueling.

As he said, for orderliness, there would be no transfers.

And to ensure that everyone was somewhat satisfied, several ships would go to all empires at least 3 times a day.

Some in the morning, others in the afternoon, and some in the evening.

Of course, the cruise ship schedule had already been distributed to the people several months back.

So many knew about the launch date within their empires and couldn't wait to enjoy this cruise thing.

The merchants were happiest of all.

Many had used to cruise ships to Carona before, and they knew how convenient it was.

Moreover, many could also send mail to their loved ones through these ports.

So how could they not be pleased?

For months now, they were looking forward to it.

And many had already booked the first rides to the different memories within the Pyno continent.

2 more days before the launch date with the first travellers.

.

As for Landon, he was happy as well.

This meant money for Baymard, as well as the other empires.

After all, they were in a partnership, and the empires had shares as well.

"Alright.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's focus on the more serious problem at hand."

Instantly, everyone's face turned green.

There was a bigger hidden problem dooming their precious continent.

What should they do?
