Volume 22: Revival and Rise Chapter 3: Consecutive Arrangements

As soon as Komer set foot in the Caucasus, he felt an indescribable sense of strangeness, a kind of close and familiar warmth that he thought he would never experience again. But this time, he tasted it once more.

Bahomon hadn't changed much since he left, and in the few months' time, it seemed that only the proportion of barbarians coming and going on the docks and streets had increased. Everything else was as it had been when he departed.

In the distance, the iron furnaces were still spewing thick smoke crazily into the air, and the dedicated pathways from the warehouses to the docks were always busy. Carts full of crude iron ingots, darkened with oil, were continuously transported from the warehouses to the docks under the efforts of the barbarian porters. There, the half-beastmen and barbarian porters were eagerly loading these goods onto ships. Various cargo ships were receiving flag signals from the dock flagmen to enter the best positions in sequence for loading.
