Chapter 276: Plans, plans, plans
Greldo looked at Ulaan, who was wringing his hands and staring at the table.
"You know it's the best for you and your people," he said, leaning against the wall and trying to project an outward calm.
Ulaan let out a long sigh. "I know, but it's going to get a lot of people killed."
"There's little else I can think of," Greldo said. "If we do it right, you will get their ship, which should give you the ability to get more food here."
If you actually mean what you are saying and projecting, he thought.
He was pretty sure Ulaan wanted to help the other merchants and people stranded here, but who knew what the man would do if he got The Ruby's Revenge.
Ulaan looked up, then out of the window, and was quiet for a while. Then he nodded.
"I'll do it. We will create a distraction," he said before staring at Greldo.
His eyes narrowed slightly. "You are sure that your captain will help?"
Greldo nodded, hoping he wasn't putting a bit too much on his friend's shoulders.
"Between him and me, we should be fine," he said. "You just make sure The Ruby's Revenge doesn't manage to get out of the harbor when we appear."
"I'll do my best," Ulaan said.
