The discovery of Gunpowder made it so that the Shazonite people began to feel better about protecting themselves, which was a good thing because nearly thirty years after their reacquaintance with the English, the young fledging nation found itself, once again, seeing something on the horizon.
Several English Ships were seeing this time, and the Shazonite people retreated from their seaside town while the Shazite Protection Authority took up defensive positions throughout the town.
As rowboats began to flood into the bay, English Troops landed onto the shoreline and began to scout around. The leader of the group, a man by the name of Meinhardt Schomberg, approached the leader of the Protection Authority troops that were stationed in the city for its defensive purposes.
He went on to state that the Island that the Shazonite people found was now the property of the English Crown. What he didn't know was that his contingent of 120 troops was surrounded by nearly 500 Shazonite's with 25 canons pointed at his ships.
As soon as the Shazonite commanded denied that the land was under the authority of the English, a deafening explosion was heard for mile away as all 25 canons fired, inflicting severe damage upon the four ships that the English sent to the region.
The English troops were captured, and one of their ships was able to leave. Although a message was sent back with them to the English, telling them that the Island was under the authority, and ownership, of the Shazonite people.
A month later, a vessel returned from the America's with a note from the regional military officers saying that the Shazonite people were on notice, and that the English would retake the land sooner rather than later. Which was the last message that the Shazonte people would receive for many years.
