Angola Island was an isolated island.
Within ten thousand kilometers of Angola Island, there was no other island.
Because of this, there was no space for pirates to survive around Angola Port. This supply port was a relatively safe supply port on the South Sea route.
Of course, safety was only relative. There were no pirates, but there were many armed merchant ships with ulterior motives.
Angola Island was a volcanic island. There were three extinct volcanoes on the island that were roughly distributed in the shape of a letter. The island was composed of lava and volcanic ash from these three volcanoes. The island was not big, about three or four hundred square kilometers, but the land was quite fertile. There was a large area of relatively flat land between the three groups of volcanoes, and there was a freshwater lake in the center of the island.
The Angola family built three castles around the freshwater lake and reclaimed a viscount's territory.
Angola Port was located in the southeast of this roughly triangular island.
The three volcanoes on Angola Island were not the same size. The volcano in the south was taller. The lava flow from the volcano extended to the southeast of the island, forming a peninsula. Between the peninsula and the coast of the island, there was a bay. Angola Port was located in the entire bay.
Like Rozburg Port, Angola Port did not belong to the Angola Viscount Family. This port was a free port controlled by the parliament. In fact, it was controlled by the Sea Church, the Tailun City Alchemy Union, and other major forces.
When Feng Chou arrived at Angola Island, it was nearly half a month later.
Angola, alone in the depths of the ocean, was not rich in resources, so the supplies at the port were not only expensive, but also limited.
The Pioneer Knight and the Warrior just replenished a batch of fresh water and fresh vegetables here and hurried on their way.
What awaited them next was a long journey of twenty-eight thousand kilometers.
Two hours after Feng Chou's fleet left Angola Port, they encountered the second naval battle of the voyage.
Angola Port itself was densely packed with cannons, but the fleet stationed in Angola Port was not strong. This was because Angola could not get external supplies. Maintaining a large fleet would make Angola Island's already difficult supply worse. Therefore, the fleet guarding Angola Port was actually a fleet guarding the port. The concept of battle was to expel enemy ships under the cover of the port's cannons.
Therefore, in the waters near Angola, some armed merchant ships that were keen on looting were very arrogant. As long as they left the sight of Angola Port, they would start looting.
This time, there were five armed merchant ships intercepting Feng Chou's fleet. They had all anchored at Angola Port with Feng Chou's fleet. Four of the merchant ships set off first, waiting to intercept Feng Chou's fleet. One merchant ship set off slightly behind Feng Chou's fleet, tailing them and directing the intercepting fleet in front to adjust their position.
The experienced captain saw through the tricks of the other party as soon as he stepped out of the port. He rubbed his palms together and asked Feng Chou for the command of the entire fleet.
Without another word, Feng Chou handed over the command of the two ships to the old captain.
In fact, after the last naval battle, Feng Chou realized that he was a layman in this aspect. If it weren't for his ship and cannon, he would have been at a disadvantage last time.
Next, the old captain gave Feng Chou a lesson.
When they encountered the four armed merchant ships intercepting the other party, the old captain immediately ordered the two ships on his side to move at full speed, making a gesture of wanting to escape.
The two sides chased each other on the sea. After turning off the weapon system, Feng Chou's two ships used their speed advantage to make a T-shaped attack on the opponent's fleet.
This time, within a few minutes of the T-shaped attack, under the captain's orders, the Pioneer Knight and the Warrior both restrained themselves and fired, damaging one of the opponent's ships and destroying the opponent's steam boiler.
Then, there was another chase. The old captain seized the opportunity and damaged another ship.
In this way, the old captain damaged three ships in the opponent's fleet, and all of them had their steam boilers damaged.
At this time, the opponent finally felt that something was wrong and wanted to escape. However, the old captain commanded the fleet to catch up and directly damaged the two intact merchant ships of the opponent.
Next, it was time for the cat to catch the mouse.
With their absolute speed advantage, the two warships captured all the enemy merchant ships that were greatly slowed by the explosion of their steam boilers.
This time, the old captain suggested that Feng Chou execute all the people on the five merchant ships because there were no deserted islands along the way to exile these pirates. The only way to keep these people alive was to take them to the port of Angola. However, if they took these people to the port of Angola, according to the procedures, the Angolan court would need to investigate and interrogate them. This set of procedures would take more than half a month.
Angola's supplies were limited, and they could not get supplies at the port. They could only rely on the supplies on the ship while waiting. This kind of waiting was fatal for an ocean-going ship. Moreover, even if they had recorded the process with a crystal ball and had magic to detect lies, the people on these ships would be collectively executed for piracy if they won the lawsuit. Since they had to die no matter what, they might as well kill them now.
As for bringing this group of people along, that was definitely a stupid idea. Not only did they have to take care of their daily needs, but they also had to have someone to watch over them. If they were not careful and allowed these people to start a riot and seize a ship, it would be a huge problem.
Feng Chou did not refuse the old captain's suggestion. He just said that he would think about it.
If Feng Chou did not have Qiankun Pagoda, then he would have to execute these people. However, he had Qiankun Pagoda, so naturally, he did not have to waste it.
His new territory was poor, and his fleet was short of manpower. He needed a large number of talents. After this group of sailors was brainwashed, they were all talents that could pass.
Therefore, the fleet was once again driven into Qiankun Pagoda. When the fleet came out again, the captives on the five captured merchant ships were gone. Instead, the number of sailors on the Pioneer Knight and the Warrior had increased from the original 600 to 1,200. There were also a few thousand more passengers in the cabins.
Feng Chou sent some sailors from the Pioneer Knight and the Warrior to the five merchant ships. He also selected some of the passengers who had sailing experience to serve as sailors on the merchant ships.
In fact, Feng Chou only transferred the original crew of the five merchant ships back. However, Qiankun Pagoda had already turned these people into his own people.
Qiankun Pagoda carried out the most thorough brainwashing on this group of pirate crew members. In the past, Qiankun Pagoda's memory was adapted from the other party's memory. However, this time, Qiankun Pagoda even used some means to directly erase all the memories of some of the villains, completely reconstructing their memories and personalities. This was equivalent to executing these people and using their bodies and souls to create another person. Of course, these people also deserved to die.
In addition to the change in personnel, even the damage on the five merchant ships was repaired.
In the memories of the crew, they had slaughtered the damned pirates on the five merchant ships in the past few days and repaired the five damaged merchant ships …
…
After more than a month of sailing, Feng Chou's fleet finally crossed the vast sea and arrived at the sea where the Dylan Islands were.
When they were five thousand kilometers away from the Dylan Islands, Feng Chou ordered the fleet to turn southeast.
When the fleet arrived at the Green Dragon Island, the harbor of the bay had already begun to take shape. The breakwater at the mouth of the bay had been completely built. The entire breakwater was built with huge stone bricks that weighed five to six tons. Such huge stone bricks could not be shaken even by a huge wave.
In the end, the wizards used the large-scale force spell left behind by Feng Chou to push away the seawater and expose the entire breakwater. Then, they used the spells of Stone to Mud and Mud to Rock to combine the breakwater into a single entity.
The breakwater was more than twenty meters above the sea surface and more than forty meters wide. In the middle, there was a stone trough that was more than twenty meters wide and more than ten meters deep. The trough was filled with rotten soil and some big trees that were moved over with activated plants to load the trough, forming a beautiful scenery in the bay.
The coast inside the bay was built into a simple stone pier by the apprentices using large engineering constructs and Mud to Stone spells.
The harbor town also began to take shape. The walls surrounding the town had already been built.
There were only three walls surrounding the town. One of the walls was replaced by a mountain. The three walls surrounded a small mountain ridge.
At this moment, a castle had already appeared on top of the mountain ridge.
The outer structure of the castle was more than half completed. The roads and sewers in the town had already been built. The entire town was divided into neat grids by the roads that had been built.
The planned reservoir in the northeast of the territory had also been filled with water. On the mountain ridge next to the reservoir, a simple castle had also been built.
The land around the reservoir had also been completely cleared. According to Feng Chou's plan, a stone road was built on the cleared land. The land was divided into plots of equal size by the stone road.
When the fleet entered the harbor, the passengers on the ship could finally walk out of their cabins and step onto the ground.
When the passengers were on the ship, they were divided into teams of thirty people according to their professions. Qiankun Pagoda selected some of the passengers who had management skills. Feng Chou appointed them as team leaders.
Feng Chou then formed a team of more than ten teams. He appointed his apprentices as the team leaders of the adult teams.
Knight apprentices were appointed as the team leaders of the youth teams.
Along the way, the management of the passengers was carried out by the team leaders and team leaders. The apprentices who were proficient in management had already formed a certain tacit understanding with the passengers.
After the passengers disembarked, Feng Chou assigned the passengers according to their professions to the various construction sites.
Some of the carpenters were sent to the construction site in the town. Some were sent to the construction site of the reservoir castle. The rest were sent to the wood yard in the northeast of the town to build a wood processing plant.
The stonemasons were transferred to the construction site of the town, the dock, and the reservoir castle.
The farmers and those who had no technical expertise were arranged to be the carpenters and stonemasons' helpers.
Most of the people who had no technical expertise were pirates who had been thoroughly brainwashed by Qiankun Pagoda.
On the five merchant ships, there were a total of more than three thousand sailors. More than a thousand of them were not so vicious. They were selected by Feng Chou and incorporated into the original sailors of the Pioneer Knight and the Warrior through memory editing. The remaining two thousand were pirates who Qiankun Pagoda thought were guilty enough to be hanged. Qiankun Pagoda directly erased most of their memories and replaced them with new ones.
This group of people who had been completely brainwashed always gave off a dull feeling, and they were very obedient. Furthermore, most of these sailors were originally professionals, so they were strong and obedient. They were a rather good labor force, and most of them were given to the stonemasons as helpers by Feng Chou.
Most of the stonemasons and carpenters were concentrated in the town. Their task was to first build houses for the seven thousand passengers who were transported to the island.
The craftsmen in the reservoir castle area were also asked to prioritize the construction of the residential houses outside the castle.
Qiankun Pagoda had already prepared everyone's tools. They only needed to secretly move them from Qiankun Pagoda to a cabin and let people move them out.
The two thousand teenagers among the passengers were separated. They did not need to participate in labor.
This group of teenagers was divided according to their talent. They were also formed into teams of thirty people. Then they were divided into Knight Apprentices, Rogue Apprentices, Scholar Apprentices, and Mage Apprentices to lead.
All these teenagers were handed over to Natasha and Gloria by Feng Chou.
Feng Chou asked the craftsmen to prioritize building a school in the northeast corner of the town that could accommodate two thousand people. The school's accommodation was a collective dormitory system. The teaching was based on a class system. There must be enough space in the school for training.
With more than seven thousand people suddenly arriving on the island, accommodation became a problem. Fortunately, Feng Chou had already considered this problem. Some of the passengers were arranged in the tents that had already been prepared. Those who did not have enough tents temporarily lived on the ship.
The gap in the tents was mainly caused by the pirate captives.
There was enough cloth on the ship. These cloth and some steel ingots were sent to Qiankun Pagoda and soon turned into brand-new tents.
Feng Chou divided the affairs of the territory into several parts and gave them to Natasha, Gloria, Chapman, Owen, and Chorre.
With the help of the Qiankun Pagoda spirit, Feng Chou spent a week to sort out the matters of the territory. He let everyone do their jobs and make full use of them.
After arranging the construction of the territory, Feng Chou began to worry about his own business trip.
