-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the city was finally safe, Lucius wanted to gain power by earning the support of the people, first, he took the step of declaring himself emperor in the capital being crowned by the head of the church. the people were highly influenced by god, so, Lucius's first step as emperor was to give people employment, he let many of the men be peasants and miners, lucky people got jobs in the army so they didn't have to buy their army to save money, and the conditions for working were improved so people don't revolt against Lucius. then he built a giant cathedral, gaining the trust of most of the people influenced by religion.
He introduced new economic policies he built a new bank and currency reforms. but one day he was reading about naval things and read about a legendary pirate Edward Kenway, in the book it was written that the pirate usually wandered in the west indies but he was known to be one of the most wanted pirates in the world, he was an assassin and did anything for money.
He had a fleet of more than 15 ships including 9 frigates, which was more than the amount Brittania had, so that day he sent a messenger to his known hideout, Nassau to call him to Brittania. 2 weeks later he arrived with his ship prepared for an ambush but Lucius didn't want to attack and told him to come inside the fort and talk, he told that he would destroy all of the ports of Saxony for 20 chests of gold, the price was high but Lucius told that if he would bring the head of the captains he would give him the money, there would be four heads as Saxony only had 4 forts, 5chests for each head and destruction, he asked Edward why did he betray the assassins? he answered the betrayed me first so, yeah...
*(A/n: I seriously didn't want to copy names directly from A.C black flag but used them as a reference here.)
He demanded that 5 more Man's wars shall be sent with him for destruction, Lucius told that if any one of them got sunk he would deduct 5 chests for each loss, and Edward agreed. All the gold the miners mined was going to go to Edward's hand. He waited for the rest of his ships to arrive from the west indies, in the meantime, he fended off some ships that came from Saxony, and after 1 week the fleet arrived.
After he prepared a plan for 2 days he finally left for Saxony. he took a force of 800 Brittanian soldiers and Lucius secretly ordered them to plunder the loot they find there and bring it back home in the man wars because they are Brittanian so he won't look into it much. that's what he said. the first fort contained a lot of loot the firepower of Edward's ships was too powerful, and the Brittanian soldiers plundered a lot of loot Edward was insane at fighting even assassins weren't anything against him.
He successfully took down the head and went on ahead for the second fort, it was the hardest and the richest one out of all of them all of the ships were almost out of gunpowder but the fort's defences broke early so the Brittanian soldiers went bravely and won, the loot was higher than the first port and Edward spent the entire night just refilling the gunpowder and plundering the plunder was already worth 12 chests of gold, this was going way better than they thought it would, but then a storm hit them damaging most the ships the small schooners were ok but the large ships were damaged, he ended up spending the night looking for ships to salvage, he made a smart move by sending the small schooner to the fort to talk with the leader to warn them for an upcoming attack from the east, while they were coming from the south.
the plan worked, the fort's defences were towards the east, and he sent one of his frigates as bait to the east, it worked and now they were sure it was coming for the east, they tried to take out the frigate in the meantime Edward wreaked havoc from the south, the fort was destroyed, the message got to the king that their forts were attacked so he strengthened 4th fort to prevent a breakdown Edward so it early from spyglass and made a strategy, they would land some forces near the town nearby the fort, as the forces reach, the ships reach as well firing mortar shots earlier than the troops arrived to prevent casualties from the side of Edward, it ended up to be a success but Edward's fleet was damaged and a lot of the earned money would go to repairing the ships while the Brittanian troops had plundered 19 chests of gold. This was a success for Brittania, all of the forts of Saxony were gone, they plundered loot, got an alliance with pirates and it all cost 1 more chest of gold as the plundered loot was given to Edward.

crazy how many changes were there and also this contains the story of how Edward's men got all the forts.
Just remove him from this scenario. :)
