章 12: Our New Home
As Prince Zane and his knights boarded the OS Ottawan Resolve, everyone had remained silent as the ship regrouped with the New Ottawan and Japanese Fleets, they made their way towards the abandoned country within Ashfeld's domain. The Prince noticed none of those who'd appeared before the king were speaking. As they arrived at the abandoned country. It had a large port, big enough to hold their ships. The ruins of buildings populated the port and further inland. As the people began to leave the ships, Archie gathered everyone to let them know the situation.
Listen up! In order for us to be able to live here, I made a deal with the King of the Ashfeld Kingdom. We are to live under the rule of his country, and become citizens of this Kingdom. We are to fly the New Ottawan Arrow under the banner of Ashfeld. I know we escaped tyranny, and this doesn't sound very appealing, but this is the only way we survive. I understand if you are mad with my decision, but it was our only option.
The crowd murmured and a few became restless and angry. They began to close in on Archie when the Overlord stepped in.
THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE?! Archie did his fucking best! Alright? If there was a better deal, he and the others would have ironed it out! We all need to band the fuck together! This is what Rothschild and Senator Blackwell were trying to get you to do! Seriously? Your response to "We have a new home, we just have to live under a king, is to try to attack our leader? None of you attacked the Ghost when he was shot, when he forced us all to live under ground thanks to the shit Rothschild released from the barrier before! This is no different! We united and stand as one unbreakable front! We shall not give in to chaos and disorder now.
As the Overlord finished speaking, the Ghost marched towards the crowd, eyes glowing red with rage.
You all think you could work out a better deal? I DID MY FUCKING BEST TO GET US THIS! I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE ELSE STEP UP TO THE CHALLENGE. I DARE ANYONE ONE OF YOU COME AT ME SHOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU COULD DO BETTER!
The crowd went silent. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT! GET TO WORK UNLOADING! LET'S MAKE THIS OUR HOME! MOVE YOUR ASSES RIGHT NOW!
Everyone scrambled into action getting the transports unloaded.
I'm sorry for causing you all trouble. said the Prince Zane.
No, I am sorry that you had to witness a crack in our unity. You caused us no trouble.
Well, now that I have been tasked with overseeing you rebuilding, you need to pick out nobility.
Pardon?
You must pick out nobles from amongst you. That, Overlord fellow seems like a strong candidate, and since Archie is your...
I want to address something. said Archie. Everyone paused to look at him. I am stepping down as leader of the group. Prince Zane says we need to pick Nobles and I will pick two. Overlord Pat, you are now known as Noblemen Pat of the Eastern District of Ottawa. As for my second pick, Ghost. Archie turned to his grandson. You have lead us in times of trouble and times of uncertainty. You have grown and become a strong leader. Lead the Southern District of Ottawa with honor, humility and pride. You are now the Noblemen Ghost of Ottawa. As for the other two, since we had some division, the people will nominate two. Remember, they can decline the offer, and they must represent the Western and Northern Districts. You have till Tomorrow at sundown to have your nobles picked.
Archie stopped speaking and began helping unload things from the transports. The Ghost and Pat begin directing their efforts to setting up their districts. Noblemen Pat would oversee everything that had to deal with the iron production and manufacturing. Noblemen Ghost would oversee not only the farms, but he would also hold the military base and research facility, making him the strongest Noble of Ottawa. As the others watched, the two got their people repairing structures and together building a museum to store the old murals they'd brought with them.
The Ghost and Pat worked alongside their districts to get everything back up par. They worked tirelessly through the night, rebuilding everything. They passed out candle to their districts, blankets, food and water. The builders worked with the two to make sure they would have something to show for it.
As the sun rose and the other Ottawans left the ships, they were startled to find that both the Eastern and Southern Districts had made significant progress. The New Chalet Tavern and Breakfast was at the entrance of the Southern District passing out free coffees to workers. As they tried to get in line, 451st soldiers cut them off.
Sorry, this coffee and food is only for the workers who have been up all night making progress at building our districts. You want coffee? Get to work.
The others began to talk amongst themselves trying to nominate nobles. By lunch, Ambassador Kenji and Brittany had been chosen to represent the the last two districts. Noblemen Kenji, overseeing the Northern Shopping and Merchant District and Brittany overseeing the Western Medicinal District.
The new week went by quickly as everyone worked extremely hard to get their city ready. While mages and pharmacists taught the New Ottawans about magic and rune stones, the New Ottawans taught them about basic refrigeration and hygiene.
As Prince Zane returned to the castle to bring back his father and the other nobles two weeks later, the Ghost met with the other nobles and planned out something special for arrival of the crown.
As the King and the other nobles arrived, they were greeted by the Friendly city then treated to a parade of military strength.
451st! Raise banners! Forward...March!
As the military parade made its way through the districts, the Juno and Constitution marched in the parade as well, showing off the military might of the newly formed country.
As the Ghost arrived at King Eldword and his nobles, he issued a third command.
SOLDIERS! SALUTE THE CROWN! KEEP MARCHING!
As each soldier passed the King, they held salute until they rounded the corner and began their journey back to base. As Constitution passed the King, she sounded off. GLORY TO THE CROWN OF ASHFELD! NEW OTTAWA WELCOMES YOU SIRE!
The King was impressed at the parade and the food they served him. Blades had prepared a feast for the King to get accustom to what the New Ottawans ate.
After about an hour, the Ghost and his district rejoined everyone.
Noblemen Ghost, I am very impressed with your display of military might and may I add that the food here is better than most things I've eaten in the castle. I admit, I am impressed by the work you have done here.
Thank you sire, but your praise is not necessary. This it what it means to hold the loyalty of New Ottawa. We will do our best to continue to impress you. Noblemen Pat is ready to take you on an inspection tour of our iron production once you have finished eating.
The King dismissed the Ghost and went on the tour. He was even more impressed with the quality of the Iron made by the CIMCO II Foundry and made his way across the other districts. Once he had finished, he met everyone at the Port.
You all have thoroughly impressed me. From this day forwards, you shall no longer be simply known as New Ottawa, you shall be known as The Iron Country. May this title serve you well in the future. I am leaving Prince Zane here to continue watching over you for the next month. Well done.
