Chapter 171: Power, Politics, And The Promise Of Progress
It had been another number of days aboard the ships with a quick slowing of their pace as their ships passed by the port of Nova Carthago so that some ships could breakaway to resupply, and provide the verbal new orders to send a naval contingent to hold the Intin port.
Julius’s current fleet would be remaining in the Bridget port city as their defenders with Julius and a contingent of his men returning to The Eternal City via land as the journey would only take a couple of days.

The gains from the reclamation war were steadily blinking away in Julius’s vision but he’d yet to accept the message from the system not because he had no time, but instead cause he felt that if he held off at least until the city upgrades could be conducted he might be able to trick the system into believing that the nation was better off than it actually was granting him a greater boon when he finally claimed the rewards.
But his days weren’t spent idly as the journey allowed his men to train alongside the sailors teaching them the basics of sailing.
Zeff, Julius and the newly acquired Germanic retainers meanwhile had been conducting almost endless bouts of combat on the decks, both to pass the time, and to lay down just where power truly lies, and the most important would be the training of their power levels.
This was the greatest challenge for a new nation.
The base power level would be established but the limit wasn’t 100, with training special individuals could rise above this level, and nothing rose the levels faster than with real combat sure there were mock battles from time to time as training but the majority of the training was done solo against static targets so the power level raised slowly.
Julius as the supreme underdog in this continental battle royale would use every trick in his book to catch up as much as he could.
