Chapter 129: Iberica - The Campaign Begins
The short voyage to Iberica ended quickly.
……No, it truly felt short.
When I struggled with seasickness on the way to Krafte, I felt like we would never arrive, but this time, I didn't even notice the time pass before arriving.
I stood on the deck with Christine, watching the Libre slowly reduce its speed as it entered the port.
Bilbao, our destination, was a basin surrounded by mountains, a terrain where the sea reached deep inland.
“Indeed, it looks like a good place for a port city.”
“Yes. There's an iron mine nearby, so it was a location King Kroxx recommended; after visiting, I approved it immediately.”
Right now, thanks to Christine's investment, it has only just begun to take shape as a port, but with such a prime location, it will surely grow well into a hub for trade between Francia and Iberica over time.
Perhaps it will become Iberica's Aquitaine in the future.
