When he was in power, he did not show any mercy to his political enemies. Now that he had lost his power, his political enemies would naturally retaliate. And it would be ten times or even a hundred times the revenge.
The Holland family was already in dire straits, and it was because of him that they were able to rise again. Now that he had lost his power, the family had fallen apart. If not for his strength, he would have escaped with his wife and children after seeing that the situation was not good. Grass would have grown on his grave.
The arrival of these two heroes could be used to fill in the gaps in Deepwater City. The development of Deepwater City needed someone to preside over it. Holland was originally an assistant minister of the Kerbal Kingdom and was proficient in internal affairs. He was more than qualified to manage Deepwater City. Barbossa, on the other hand, could be the captain of the Deepwater Port.
As a pirate captain, he was proficient in navigation and knew the pirates' port and how to fight. Other than him, there was no other general in Northtown City who knew how to fight at sea. Moreover, although the sea merchants of this era were called merchants, they were actually part-time pirates who often robbed the ships of other countries at sea.
Suhlen was preparing to engage in maritime trade. A pirate captain would definitely save him a lot of trouble.
After understanding the abilities of the two, Suhlen announced that Barbossa would be the captain of the Deepwater Port's fleet, in charge of fleet trade and combating pirates, and Holland would be the governor of Deepwater City. After accepting their allegiance, Su Lun also saw the degree of their loyalty.
Barbossa's loyalty was only 75, while Holland's was 80. Although they were not as good as the other generals under Suhlen's command, their loyalty would increase after some time. With three Legendary powerhouses around? They naturally knew what to choose.
Of course, they still had to give the necessary benefits. Kinnar could not be left out. After all, they were all sponsored partnerships.
With Holland and Barbossa, the development of Deepwater City began to accelerate. Suhlen directly handed the construction of Deepwater City to Holland and the work of the shipyard to Barbossa. Although Barbossa was a pirate captain, he also had some understanding of shipbuilding. After all, as pirates, they often had to repair their ships themselves.
Especially after seizing a ship, they had to modify it. They did not have a shipyard to work for them, so they had to do it themselves.
Barbosa was very familiar with the route of the southern sea. After all, he was a pirate in the southern sea before. He was also familiar with the route to the eastern continent. After all, they also needed an identity to hide, and they often went to the eastern sea route.
Suhlen was preparing to open up the sea route to the Eastern Continent, so he could give it to him. In addition to building a fleet, the most important thing was to have qualified sailors. The Kingdom of Florence was located inland, and it was very difficult to recruit sailors. They could only recruit some people who could swim for training.
After all, the inland river and the sea were two completely different environments. Now, while building the ship, he had Barbosa train these people. If there was a Navy Army Seal, Suhlen could directly recruit people to train the navy. Unfortunately, he had opened so many treasure chests, but he had not obtained a Navy Army Seal.
In order to strengthen the connection between Deepwater City and North Town, Suhlen and Hathaway purposely set up a teleportation circle in Deepwater City. They then connected it to the teleportation circle in North Town so that the two places could be teleported directly.
The planning of Deepwater City was very different from that of North Town. As a commercial port, it must be convenient for transportation. After a period of construction, some houses had been built in Deepwater City. Some of these houses were for workers to live in, and some were for warehouses to store materials.
Because the city was close to the sea, the climate was humid, and it often rained here, so the city's drainage facilities must be strict. At the same time, the city's terrain must be the highest in the surrounding area.
Suhlen did not want the whole city to be flooded when the tide rose. In addition to these, because the city was designated as a commercial city, the houses inside were different from other cities. All the houses in Deepwater City had two or more floors.
Usually, the first floor would be a shop, and the second floor would be a residence. The drainage around the residence also had to be planned, and the roads were all according to the standards of North Town. There were five roads in the city, one of which was directly connected to the port. The width of the road had also increased from four meters to ten meters.
Once the commercial road was successfully opened, Deepwater City would definitely become a trade hub. If they still planned according to the four-meter road, it would be very congested. In order to prevent congestion, Suhlen planned to use two roads, one out and one in.
They would go out from the east gate of the city and enter from the north gate. This way, they could reduce congestion as much as possible.
Deepwater City's harbor also needed to be built larger. Because Deepwater City was located on the southeast coast of the Northern Wilderness, the climate here was still somewhat cold. Although it wouldn't freeze in winter, there were often strong winds and waves, which led to the need to build a ring of breakwaters outside the harbor.
In addition to the waterproof, Deepwater City also needed to build a lighthouse. As a port city, a lighthouse was indispensable. In this era, navigation technology was limited, so a lighthouse was very important as a building to guide the direction of ships at night.
Now, there were almost ten thousand slaves working in Deepwater City. A large part of them were captured by Boulder's army. According to Suhlen's plan, at least fifty thousand people were needed to build Deepwater City in one to two years.
With so many people, North Town could not transfer them, so they could only grab people from the wilderness near the sea. Originally, the surrounding wilderness also needed to be cleaned up. Suhlen did not want to let these monsters affect the safety of the city.
Carts of bricks were unloaded from the ships, which were transported from North Town. After several cleaning of the Red Sand River, there were no longer any water monsters blocking the way. Ships transported all kinds of materials. Deepwater City did not have a brick factory, so they could only transport from North Town. Fortunately, water transportation was very convenient.
After carefully inspecting the construction of the city, Holland immediately went into work and began to methodically instruct the slaves to build. In order to make these slaves work hard, Suhlen also prepared a lot of food. Although it was only potatoes and fish, it was very good for the slaves.
Among these slaves, there were many kobold and gnoll supervisors. North Town already had a mature plan to enslave these monsters.
After Barbossa arrived, he directly took a group of newly recruited sailors to the shipyard. During this period of intense construction, a small sailboat had been built. Barbossa planned to use it to train the sailors first. However, for safety reasons, Suhlen also gave them some underwater breathing potions.
