Pirates: Sons of Zepha Change the World

Chapter 17 Fortress Construction, Heading to the Kingdom of Othos

It had been several days since the last meeting in Leiden. The king's momentum that Leiden exuded at the end of that meeting made everyone better understand Leiden's courage.

I believe even more that they will be able to succeed in the future!

Later on the next day, Karl and Olivia gathered everyone on the island, mainly including Leiden's former men and residents of O'Hara.

Leiden delivered his speech in a makeshift square.

First, Layton took out the newspaper of the O'Hara incident and told them the news of O'Hara's destruction, and then published some words hoping that they could forget the past and start living here again.

After waiting for the people's emotions to stabilize, Leiden arranged for personnel to use existing resources to construct the entire aerial fortress.

In addition, Leiden also proposed to organize some personnel to form a fortress guard to strengthen the protection of the fortress.

This speech was a complete success under the control of Leiden's spiritual power.

Under the influence of spiritual power, the people on the fortress had absolute trust in Leiden.

Moreover, many young adults in O'Hara have developed a desire for power because of the events that happened in O'Hara, and they have signed up enthusiastically.

For these people, Leiden directly arranged for Karl to take people to register, and asked his men to start simple training on them.

In the following days, the entire Sky Fortress became completely lively and showed a thriving atmosphere.

At this moment, Leiden left the Sky Fortress and came to the sea again after leaving the matters on the fortress to Karl and the new Secretary-General Olivia.

The purpose of Leiden coming down from the Sky Fortress this time was what he said before, to find a suitable country on the sea to control as another base.

And this base, Leiden, they have already chosen, it is a country called Ottos.

According to the nautical chart information found in the books collected from the Tree of Omniscient, Othos is a small country located in the eastern part of the Western Sea.

The entire country relies on planting and animal husbandry as its main source of income.

This country is particularly suitable in terms of geographical location and resources.

This time, Leiden used his flying ability to go directly to Ottos, which was much faster than taking a boat.

Just as Leiden was flying quickly in the air, he sensed a battle taking place on the sea not far ahead.

Then Leiden flew towards the place where the battle was taking place. When he got there, he found that the situation was a little different from what Leiden had seen before.

Originally, Leiden thought that the battle here would be pirates robbing merchant ships or a battle between pirates.

But what appeared in front of Leiden was a escort ship with a certain national symbol attacking an ordinary passenger ship.

When Leiden saw the sign on the escort ship clearly, he immediately recognized that they should be from Ottos.

But what is strange to Leiden is that the party being attacked has no ability to resist at all and has been dodging. Judging from the situation, they should be ordinary people.

Leiden became interested and directly activated his fruit ability, controlling all the cannonballs into the air.

This sudden scene immediately silenced the entire battlefield.

Then under the shocked gazes of everyone on the escort ship, Layton, wearing a black suit and purple hair, slowly descended on the royal ship.

As soon as they landed, everyone on the ship became nervous. An officer who looked like the leader came over and asked Leiden cautiously.

"My lord, do you know why you came to our ship?"

Seeing the nervous expressions of the people on the boat, Layton showed a harmless smile and said to them.

"Don't be so nervous. I'm just curious as to why you would attack an ordinary merchant ship. Can you tell me the reason?"

As Leiden said these words, purple light flashed in Leiden's eyes. After hearing Leiden's words, the officer on the opposite side shook his body, and then answered involuntarily to Leiden.

"It's your lord, we are the royal guard of the Kingdom of Ottos. We are following the king's order to hunt down the fleeing nationals!"

After hearing this answer, Layton became even more curious.

"You mean, the people on the opposite boat are all civilians from Othos?"

"Yes sir!"

After getting the answer, Leiden was ready to go to the other side to see the situation.

"Okay, you all should go to sleep first!"

Then Leiden snapped his fingers, and then all the Ottos soldiers on the ship suddenly fell down and fell asleep!

Leiden was very satisfied with this effect, and then he got up and flew to the passenger ship opposite!

As soon as he landed on the somewhat damaged passenger ship, Leiden saw that the people on the ship were on guard against him!

"Okay, I won't hurt you! I wonder if anyone can come out and answer my question, why are you defecting from your own country!"

After hearing what Leighton said, the people on the passenger ship looked at each other. Finally, the crowd suddenly separated, and a young man walked out among the crowd.

"Hello, mysterious strong man! My name is Roland. Thank you for lending a helping hand to save us this time!"

Looking at the other party's appearance, Leiden felt that things were getting more and more interesting!

"You are very smart and good at talking! So now can you tell me, you are all residents of Othos, why did you escape there and be chased by the royal fleet?"

"Mysterious strong man, this is what happened..."

Then the young man named Roland told Leiden the cause and effect.

It turns out that Ottos was originally a country that relied on planting and animal husbandry to maintain its economy.

Although the residents are not very wealthy, under the governance of King Otto III, the entire country has been very stable and peaceful.

But just two years ago, Black, as the left prime minister, suddenly united with a group of pirates, killed King Otto III and occupied the entire country!

Since then, the residents of the entire Ottos country have been living in dire straits.

After Blake ascended the throne, he changed the previous policy of Otto III, increased the country's taxation and corvee, and killed all those who opposed him.

Black did not allow any voice of resistance in the country, and the citizens dared not speak out.

Some people also wanted to go to sea to report to the navy, but Black still had contact with the pirates. They would be killed by each other as soon as they went to sea. Later, Black took control of the entire country's ships.

Roland and others just couldn't stand Blake's tyranny, so they secretly built a small escape boat and prepared to escape from Othos. Unexpectedly, they were discovered by Blake's people, who sent the royal army to encircle and suppress them.

After listening to Roland's narration, Leiden did not expect that Ottos was in this situation.

Leiden looked at the other party carefully. Leiden, who had psychic power, certainly knew that the other party was not lying.

However, the young man named Roland showed different emotions when he mentioned the previous kings Otto III and Black.

"You know so many things! And you act so calm when you see me!

Coupled with these people's defense of you, it shows that you are not an ordinary civilian at all. Am I right? "

After Leiden finished speaking, there was obviously a trace of panic in the other party's eyes. After making up his mind, he heard the other party say.

"You are right. I just lied to you! My full name is Otto Roland. I used to be the prince of Otto, but now I am just an ordinary person!"

After hearing the answer he wanted, Leiden had his own plan in mind!

"Looking at their behavior towards you, it shows that you are very loved by them. How about that? Your Highness, Roland, I have a deal here. Would you be interested in hearing about it?"
