Kopoi came to mind as we sailed closer. It was fighting against the Talmin coalition. If they weren't dead by the time we arrived, I could save them. I made sure to have the men get us to the island as soon as possible. There was yet another full naval blockade. We destroyed it and allowed the Kopoi to slaughter the survivors. The Kopoi were a medium complexioned people with navy blue hair and sea green eyes. I was struck that the Kopoi seemed to have a fully female army and I approached. As I got closer to them I saw what was going on. The Kopoi were traps. The men looked like women and the women looked like men. I was beginning to think that maybe the aggressive Talmin coalition had a point. The people on the islands that I liberated seemed to be degenerates of some type or another. "What's next? Furries!?" I muttered to myself as I watched them put up the Wendalian flag. I established a pretty large protectorate as well as a colony that I fully conquered. I thought that would be good enough to return home. I had leveled to where I would be promoted to Lieutenant Commander.
I still felt restless as I had not accomplished much on the building front. I had my engineers work on our plans to build the ports before we returned home. Since we were on Kopoi Island and we had the permission of the king to do it, we found a good spot and dropped anchor to measure the depth of the water. They took a day to run simulations and calculations. When they were sure, they directed us on what we would need to do. It involved controlled demolitions of the shore to clear the sand away and make it easier for the ship to come closer. We used the Elite mecha because it had the biggest rockets. One of the Alpha engineers got in with me and he did the firing to cause the explosion. It seemed to work and I was going to congratulate him when he held me by the hips and began hotdogging me. "I'm sorry, sir. You just... smell so good." I had been leaking pheromones without realizing it and he got horny. Piloting made people horny and he was not used to it. He was unable to resist me. I let him get it out his system before we returned to the ship.
All the Battle mechas we had were sent to fine tune the site and make it more accessible. We then enlisted the help of the Kopoi for the material and manpower to build it. It took three days in total to build it long enough to get to a safe distance in case the sand resettled with a tide or something. That was great but we needed to do it four more times. I sent the ship to Defoon and began the same process. After Sebin and Istolin, we had spent two weeks in total. There were no resources available to create a settlement or a naval base to Wendalian standards. That meant that I had to leave and return to Wendalia. I had the four treaties and the abdication with me as we set sail. I also had a map of the new continent, the archipeligo, and each island. Returning took a full week. By then, everyone was beginning to show our pregnancies in our bellies. When we sailed back to Wendalia, I was regarded as a hero. The royal family appropriated half of the treasure not embezzled by the crew. I was not reimbursed for what was taken at all. That stung me, but it was well within my calculations.
