The auction on the sea came to an end, and Ouyang Shuo won another two million gold coins. What caught his attention was that the Mediterranean Sea Lord, who would emerge as a new force in the future, was one of the three victors.
This person called himself Caesar and claimed to be a legitimate descendant of the ancient Roman Empire.
In the fourth year of Gaia, Caesar rose to prominence in the European continent and became one of the three giants of the European continent. Only then was his legendary experience gradually revealed on the forum.
Caesar was a Lord player, but his gaming career began in the mysterious Roman palace. At the beginning of the game, Caesar was born in the Roman palace and was raised as a member of the royal family.
Even the people close to Caesar knew nothing about the details of what had happened to him.
In the first half of the third year of Gaia, Caesar left the palace and officially began his career as a Lord. Together with Caesar, 50,000 Roman Imperial Guards, 20,000 top craftsmen, thousands of senior officials, millions of gold coins worth of treasures, hundreds of special items, building blueprints, technical manuals, and so on.
In short, anything that a Lord needed, the Roman palace prepared for Caesar. Even the title of a Lord was restricted, and he was given the title of a second-class Marquis.
According to the information revealed on the forum, even the Village Creation Token used by Caesar was a gold-grade Village Creation Token.
Gavis Octavius Augustus, who lived in seclusion in the Roman Palace, even gave his general Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa to Caesar.
Agrippa was the general who helped Octavian defeat Antony and won the Roman civil war. Even in the history of ancient Rome, he was enough to be ranked among the top ten generals.
In the naval battle of Actium, Agrippa commanded the army and defeated the allied army of Antony and Cleopatra. After the battle, Antony committed suicide, and Egypt became a Roman province.
It could be seen that Augustus really raised Caesar as a successor.
Although Caesar was' delayed 'in the palace for two years, the beginning of his career as a Lord was enough to make all the Lords around the world feel ashamed. Without a doubt, this was a typical Lord who could 'overtake' at the bend.
'Being born in the palace' was Caesar's adventure mission. Such an opportunity was something that outsiders could not be envious of. It could be imagined that Caesar's [Source of Fortune] must be extremely high. As for Caesar's claim that he could be born in the palace because of the royal blood flowing in his body, not many people believed it.
Ouyang Shuo snorted disdainfully at this.
Caesar's publicity was just to increase their prestige and legitimacy in Italy.
In fact, Caesar wasn't the only one in the world who had such a fortuitous encounter. At the very least, Ouyang Shuo knew that there was a young man in the Royal Palace of the China district who was silently accumulating power with the intention of soaring into the sky.
…
The auction at sea ended, and the Base City was officially recognized by the feudal lords of the Mediterranean Sea.
Ouyang Shuo's mission also came to an end.
Early the next morning, the fleet left the Strait of Gibraltar and set off again. After passing through the Strait of Gibraltar, the fleet officially entered the Atlantic Ocean and headed north to the English Channel.
If the fleet continued westward across the North Atlantic, it would reach New York in the United States. If time allowed, Ouyang Shuo didn't mind going to America.
The problem was that it was already August. According to Ouyang Shuo's prediction, the sixth war in the country had basically reached the critical point. He had to finish his voyage before the battle began.
Compared to the exploration of the American continent, the trip to England was the focus of this trip.
In the Celtic Sea of the North Atlantic …
The Celtic Sea was located at the intersection of the Strait of Gibraltar to Western Europe and the route from North America to Western Europe. It was a transportation hub in the eastern part of the North Atlantic Ocean. The seawater was deep and there were few obstacles, which was good for the navigation of various ships.
Since it was a place to cross, it was inevitable that there would be pirates. The most famous pirate group in the sea was the famous Viking Pirates in history.
From the eighth to the eleventh centuries, the Viking Pirates had been attacking the coasts of Europe and the islands of England. Their footprints covered the vast territory from the European continent to the Arctic. 500 years before Columbus discovered the New World, the Vikings had reached Newfoundland and explored parts of North America.
During that era, the Vikings were synonymous with plundering and killing. It could even be said that the word "pirate" was derived from the Vikings. They could be said to be the ancestors of the Western pirates.
At that time, they were outstanding craftsmen, sailors, explorers, and merchants. More importantly, the Vikings were valiant warriors. They were equipped with spears, axes, and round shields. They believed in the Thunder God Thor.
The Vikings' homeland was Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. At one time, they had controlled most of the Baltic Sea, the interior of Russia, Normandy, England, Sicily, southern Italy, and Palestine.
What was equally famous as the Vikings were their dragon ships.
The Viking warships were mainly made from tall and straight oak trees. As such, they were relatively light. The ship's body was narrow, but it was nimble and light. It was also very resistant to wind and waves. The bow of the ship was curved, and it was carved with a single piece of oak.
The image of the ship's bow was that of a Western dragon.
This was how the dragon ship got its name.
According to legend, not only did the Vikings believe in the Thunder God Thor, they were also adept at taming dragons. They were natural experts at taming dragons. They could tame all kinds of dragons.
In real life, movies and television had a vivid interpretation of this.
In the game, Gaia combined historical information and movies and television to strengthen the existence of the Vikings. It evolved them into the strongest group of pirates in the North Atlantic Ocean.
The dragon ships that the Vikings rode on were not only taller and mightier than those in history. What gave people a headache was that the Vikings in the game could really tame dragons. They were flying spiritual beasts that were generally at the Gold rank and above.
The powerful Vikings became the biggest obstacle for England, Holland, and other Western European countries to expand outwards.
…
Currently, in the Celtic Sea, there was an intense battle between the Vikings and the English Navy. On the vast sea, the English Navy's fifteen warships were lined up in a row, firing their cannons at the Viking dragon ships on both sides.
The flagship in the middle of the naval fleet had three decks of cannons. At a rough glance, there were no less than a hundred cannons on both sides. It was basically a "fortress on the sea".
The three English words "Annie" were carved on the flagship's bow. It was especially eye-catching.
If one was familiar with the history of the English Navy, they would know that the warship in front of them was the iconic sail battleship. It was the best of the wooden warships. It was even more powerful than the gigantic fortress ships of the Ming Dynasty.
The sail battleship appeared in the seventeenth century, which happened to be the end of the Ming Dynasty. The ship was equipped with sails and was powered by wind. It had a displacement of about a thousand tons. It was equipped with smoothbore cannons that could fire solid bullets.
After the Anglo-Dutch War, the sail battleship's tonnage gradually increased. The top battleship's displacement increased to three to five thousand tons. The number of cannons increased from a few dozen to a hundred.
On the stage of naval warfare, the sail battleship was once the main warship of the navy.
Unfortunately, due to the limited range and firepower of the cannons of such warships at that time, and the fact that they could only use straight-line navigation tactics in naval warfare, the warships were arranged in a single column and sailed in a straight line. When the enemy ships entered the range of the cannons, they would start firing.
That was why these warships that used straight-line navigation tactics were called battleships.
In addition, the battleships had a common shortcoming. In stormy weather, the cannons of the third deck of the battleship could not be opened.
The sail battleship's movement was completely dependent on the wind, and its maneuverability was limited. When the real strength of the two warring parties was not much different, it was very difficult to concentrate the forces in any form. Naval warfare became a lengthy exchange of fire between two parallel fleets. Often, decisive results could not be achieved.
The fleet before them was in such a predicament.
Hundreds of Viking dragon ships braved the cannons and dodged nimbly while besieging the navy from all directions. In the process, the number of dragon ships that were actually sunk was negligible.
At the same time, spears were thrown at the battleship by the Viking pirates. On the dragon ships, tens of thousands of Viking pirates let out battle cries, their expressions fanatical.
The Viking pirates were ambitious to plunder, but they did not have enough people. Therefore, they had to rely on careful planning and surprise attacks. Their attacks were often divided into two parts: first, throwing spears from a long distance, then using swords and battle axes to close the distance.
In the game, the Viking pirates were assisted by dragon pets, which were extremely abnormal.
This time, the British navy was ambushed by the Viking pirates. Under the siege of the dragon pets, they lost five to six third-level battleships and were caught unprepared.
In the sky above the battlefield, two fierce-looking fire dragons with huge wings were constantly circling. From time to time, they would spit flames at the British battleships, igniting a raging fire.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the British navy was currently at a disadvantage.
…
At this time, on the Annie, a conversation was going on.
"Miss, we can't delay any longer. Let's retreat!"
The one speaking was a red-haired woman holding a large sword and dressed in a royal guard uniform. She had a curvaceous figure, and her huge twin peaks were still tall and round under the metallic armor.
The royal guard's skirt armor could not cover the woman's slender thighs at all. Due to long-term exercise, her thighs looked abnormally healthy and tanned, making them even more alluring.
"No, Carolyn, we can't retreat."
Opposite the red-haired woman stood a woman holding a silver longsword and wearing silver armor. The woman was young, only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, but her face was extremely exquisite.
Coupled with her long golden hair, she looked just like the legendary angel warriors.
"Miss!" Carolyn looked anxious.
The young lady opposite her was known for her stubbornness and was someone who refused to admit defeat.
However, given the current situation, if she continued to be so stubborn, she was afraid that the entire fleet would be wiped out. Once the Viking pirate ships reached the naval battleships, they would have to engage in the boarding battle that the Viking pirates were best at.
When that happened, it would be impossible to retreat even if they wanted to.
