Chapter 267: CCLXVII. Dead Man Bay
It was past midnight on January 2nd, strictly speaking, it was already the 3rd.
The meeting was still ongoing.
Wolman’s proposal had been accepted, and after preparations, on January 8th, they would head to the Great Wetland aboard the Dawn Breaker, expecting to return in mid-February.
Four hundred Golden Dragons were allocated for purchasing supplies and recruiting personnel.
Wolman was officially promoted to the rank of Captain of the Dawn Breaker, and he had a few days to recruit troops and buy horses on the island, gathering a hundred crew members capable of sailing to the Great Wetland.
He was recruiting not just any riff-raff; Wolman was originally a rebel commander himself and expressed his desire to bring some of his former comrades to the cause, all respectable individuals in the Great Wetland.
In the past, Liszt would have hesitated, as Wolman turning his own into a rebel stronghold would surely cause trouble.
But now it was different; Liszt was practically the boss of Heaven Port and could hold his own; no matter how many came.
The newly-promoted captain also acquired a more prestigious title.
"From now on, you will be the overall supervisor for the Monges Southern Wetland. I’ll leave the affairs of that region entirely up to you. In addition, we now have a stake in the New Continent. Doringger wouldn’t dare to cause trouble openly. Now that the representatives of the major companies have been intimidated and left, he can’t handle it alone. We need to transport some goods from the New Continent into the Great Wetland via Aran; this is a vital route."
Liszt placed high hopes on Wolman; despite his tough and startling appearance, he was undoubtedly among the most intelligent in the company. He could handle it.
