I'm the King Of Technology

"Amazing! You're right. If we scatter the broken pieces like so before pouring the tar, it builds up a good layer like a solid wall!"

"Hey, this technique is quite good. I estimate it will also hold up better during storms. Hahahahahaha~... Now, we don't have to worry too much about meeting strange weather during our journey."

"That's right. The hold is more solid than before."

"Tar!... Tar!... Bring out the tar!"

The crewmen all worked merrily with Landon to fix the many damaged parts they could find.

What? Do you think about a battle with all that throwing around and stunning, they weren't already damaging their ships?

Additionally, they hadn't completed previous repairs from the terrible storm.

Don't forget it wasn't long before they arrived and were immediately spotted by the pirates.

F***!

The place was a mess.

There were beams needing reinforcement, floors in the deck that broke, and many structures needing sealing.

The great thing was the many supplies they now had. They took out many crates and even kitchenware from the pirate ships.

Yes...

To recap on what happened earlier after the battle was won, they searched the ships and hoarded countless items like crates, rum, and whatnot.

Treasures were also taken.

And as for the slave rowers, they were all placed in a single ship headed for Pyno.

A substantial amount of wealth was given to them. And the strange guard (Landon) also instructed them on the way to pass if they wanted to evade the many Morg/pirate checkpoints.

Now, it would be up to them to save themselves.

Of course, it would be best if they reached land fast so as to stop using these pirate ships.

Even now, their sailing away was still a risky deal.

But no matter how one looked at it, their fate was doomed if they stayed here.

So why not take a chance at absolute freedom?

Provided they followed Landon's words, they should reach their destination safely.

Some wanted to head to Veinitta and Tenola since they were people initially down those territories. But he told them plain and simple.

If they wanted to take up one of the pirate ships and head there, then be his guest.

But they should know how difficult it was to sail without bumping into another Pirate checkpoint.

They were rowers enslaved by the Morgs.

They had sailed to several points without ever seeing where they were going clearly. So they were of course clueless.

Nonetheless, they still had a little understanding of how difficult it was to space Morgs out in the waters.

So could they confirm that if they sailed, they would be safe?

They only know the small regions at sea that their Captain, Long Bottom, was ordered to patrol.

What's more, the Morgs changed their patrolling patterns every few months.

Many who didn't know this eventually fell into the hands of pirates after traveling with very old patterns.

Heh.

Landon could only give the slaves a safe route to Pyno.

Once they arrived, they could then pay and board many merchants or traveling ships headed for where they wanted.

He gave them enough coins from what the Morgs carried. So they should be able to pay their fare.

In that way, the freed rowers were sent off, leaving them behind with the remaining pirate ships.

So what did they do?

They continued hoarding all they could find, especially the food. And they have to say... After eating fish for so long, it felt so good finally eating something else.

.

Good!

All barrels, be them empty or not, were brought over.

For them, Omanians, they didn't like the notion of having slaves row their vessels. They believed it brought unity for the crew members to all row in turns and shifts.

Moreover, maybe because of their stature as giants and pride, even a captured Omanian would rather die than row when forced.

To have an Omanian as a slave was 5... No! 10 times more difficult than the ordinary person.

The crew members worked together, taking all they could from the pirate ships.

Everyone seemed to be a little worried that another storm might come and carry them away to heaven knows what other place.

So shouldn't they stack up on supplies fast?

Hmmm...

They also broke down pieces of wood, using them to fix their ships.

As for the many important documents aboard these ships, Landon didn't hide them much, allowing the giants to read and fill their eyes with whatever they saw was necessary.

Of course, he took the ones vital for his future plans.

Hey... At the end of the day, if these giants join the U.N, some of this information would again reach their hands. So they might lose them now but gain more information in the future.

As for the pirate ships... After they were done with them, they sunk these ships, making many holes underneath.

Yes.

One must hide the evidence as fast as possible.

And that... Was the recap of all that happened while his highness Artemis was out cold.

---------

"Your highness!" The many crewmen saluted, seeing Artemis appear on the deck.

"At ease."

The men quickly rose, giving way for Artemis.

"Savior... On behalf of the Soma empire, I thank you for everything you've done for us."

Landon waved his hand casually. "No need for any thanks. The pleasure was mine. What's more, I was coming after them originally. Like I said... I was sent by my monarch on this assignment. And now that it's completed, I must be on my way."

Everyone was taken aback.

On his way?

They had already destroyed all pirate ships. So how would he be leaving?

And even if they didn't, there were no people to row the ships any longer. So what would he do now?

Everyone gave Landon an unfathomable eye.

Bro... Be honest... Do you have a suicide wish?

Just how was he supposed to leave, if not by swimming with all the deadly sea creatures underneath?
