Chapter 2: How did Upper Merchant Pelsart handle the aftermath of the shipwreck?
Yeah, but there's also an island full of soldiers and sailors. They'd be strong as fuck.
We'll see. But that's all to say that Viva knew that the stakes were high, and he had to be prepared. The biggest problem Viva had, though, was that Euronymous's men had all the muskets and swords. But that didn't mean Viva didn't have advantages himself. Most importantly, Viva had made sure that everyone who showed up on the highlands was well provided for, which engendered real loyalty.
And the abundance of resources on the highlands meant they had no less than 50 healthy people willing to fight. In contrast, Euronymous ruled his men by fear, and their rations were limited to what rainwater they could catch with tarps, along with stray birds and a rapidly dwindling supply of hardtack.
Viva was also a hell of a soldier, so he and his men studied the geography of the highlands to surmise where they could best defend the island against Euronymous when he and his men finally mounted their attack.
Eventually, Viva pegged a shore of mudflats as the most likely landing spot, so a lookout was posted there at all times with clear vantage points to send signals inland, where most of the real defenses actually were. But since their strategy was based almost solely on defense, Viva's men took to calling themselves the Defenders.
Go, go, Island Defenders! Yeah!
Google Island Defenders. I feel like everything doesn't need a name.
It's fine. I don't know. Having a name for your group, it's a team thing, you know? Yeah, I guess so. The Gorillas. They don't know what a gorilla is.
How about something like, you know, the football team.
