In the war room on Dragon Head.
Zheng He was reporting the results of the battle. "Marquis, we captured more than 12,000 Viking pirates and seized more than 20,000 gold coins, as well as some weapons and equipment."
Ouyang Shuo nodded. "Send a battalion to send the captives to the base city and have them join the Mediterranean Fleet. As for the gold coins, give them to the soldiers as a reward for the voyage. "
Zheng He smiled and cupped his fists. "On behalf of the soldiers, I thank you, Marquis, for the reward."
The Viking captives were the best in terms of physical fitness and water combat skills. They were even better than the pirates in the Gulf of Aden and the Spanish Navy.
Their only weakness was probably their lack of discipline.
However, the Mediterranean Fleet had Admiral Alvaro, so it shouldn't be a problem. The old general was someone who would turn hostile and was known for his ruthlessness in the army.
No matter how arrogant the Viking pirates were, they would be obedient under Alvaro's training.
The 12,000 Viking captives were enough to expand the Third Formation of the Mediterranean Fleet to its full strength. It seemed that eliminating the Viking pirates was a good way to increase the number of soldiers.
It was obviously unrealistic to expand the Mediterranean Fleet by relying on the snail-like population of the base city. The refugees were mainly used to increase the population of the base city.
It seemed that it was necessary to send a message to Alvaro and ask him to cross the Strait of Gibraltar and enter the Atlantic Ocean to eliminate the Viking pirates after the Mediterranean Fleet was formed.
In this way, training and expanding the army could be done at the same time.
"As for the weapons and equipment, send half of them to the base city with the captives. Give the remaining half to the British fleet. The other party has also contributed, so we can't be too unsightly, "Ouyang Shuo instructed.
"Understood!" Zheng He was a kind man.
At this moment, the guard outside the door reported, "Marquis, Princess Annie is here to visit."
"Let her in." Ouyang Shuo stood up to welcome her.
Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but smile when he found out that the fleet they had saved was Annie's Iron Lady Army.
In his previous life, the "cold-faced angel" Annie was known to players all over the world. Someone joked on the forum that Princess Annie had the beauty of an angel, but she had a heart as cold and decisive as a devil.
If the course of history hadn't changed, Annie would have risen again after a setback. She would have become the nightmare of the Vikings.
In the words of the Vikings, Anne was described as a demoness who killed without batting an eye.
At the mention of "Annie", their faces would turn pale and they would become the shame of the Vikings.
In the fifth year of Gaia, the number of Viking pirates that Annie had exterminated was no less than 200,000. More than half of the Viking pirates had perished in her hands.
From then on, Annie became famous all over the world.
Countless Great Lords and Great Commanders had pursued Annie, but none of them had succeeded.
Slowly, there were rumors that Annie was actually a lesbian, and that her subordinate, Carolyn, was her lover. It was precisely because of this that Annie rejected the pursuit of a group of big shots.
In his previous life, everyone only saw it as gossip and did not take it seriously.
When Annie walked into the war room, the entire room lit up. She was indeed an exceptional beauty. Among all the beauties that Ouyang Shuo knew, probably only Feng Qiuhuang could compete with her.
Standing beside Annie was a red-haired beauty with a fiery figure. Needless to say, that was naturally Carolyn.
Recalling the rumors from his previous life, Ouyang Shuo subconsciously swept a glance at the two of them with an indescribable meaning. Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen the two of them. In terms of appearance, the forums were indeed not exaggerating.
Seeing them in person was even more shocking than seeing their photos on the forums.
However, Annie's cold expression made men not dare to have any improper thoughts. It was as if even thinking about it in their hearts would be blasphemy against the goddess.
However, Annie misunderstood Ouyang Shuo's gaze. She thought that Ouyang Shuo was like other men, a superficial person who lusted after beauty. A trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.
"Princess Annie, I've heard a lot about you. Please take a seat!"
With Ouyang Shuo's sharp senses, he immediately noticed the disdain in Annie's eyes. However, he did not take it to heart and took the lead to sit on the main seat. With his current status and state of mind, there was no need for him to explain anything.
Hearing that, Annie sat down coldly. "Speak, what do you want in return?"
"Cough!"
Even with Ouyang Shuo's composure, he was caught unprepared by Annie. What kind of attitude is this? This was the first time he had seen someone act so righteously after being saved.
"Forget it!" Ouyang Shuo waved his hand to stop Zheng He from speaking. Smiling, he said, "Straightforward. Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. As long as Princess Annie can introduce me to my brother, I'll drop this matter. How about it? "
"That simple?"
Annie subconsciously frowned. She had seen too many so-called 'gentlemen' who liked to retreat in order to advance. They would take the opportunity to get close to her and gain her favourable impression. Ouyang Shuo's actions deepened Annie's misunderstanding.
"That simple." Ouyang Shuo nodded his head.
"Alright, I promise you."
Annie suppressed the disgust in her heart. Although she was cold and arrogant, she was still able to distinguish between gratitude and grudges.
"I want to see what kind of tricks you, the so-called number one lord in the world, are playing." Annie thought in her heart. "When the time comes, don't blame me for not giving you any face, detestable lecher!"
The atmosphere in the reception room instantly turned cold.
Having achieved his goal, Ouyang Shuo no longer had the mood to chat with this ice beauty. At his level, how could he be tempted by beauty? Furthermore, this was an ice beauty.
In comparison, Ouyang Shuo felt that the voluptuous Carolyn was more pleasing to the eye. Carolyn, who stood behind Annie, had an awkward expression on her face when she heard her mistress's words. She smiled apologetically at Ouyang Shuo.
Annie sat quietly, waiting to see Ouyang Shuo's' performance '. She had seen this kind of trick many times. It was nothing more than an excuse to invite her to a meal to 'get close' to her.
Next, he would give her gifts, display, or rather, flaunt his wealth and power.
Just thinking about it made Annie feel disgusted.
However, Ouyang Shuo had already stood up to send them off. "That's all. Princess Annie, please don't forget your promise. I still have matters to attend to, so I won't waste everyone's precious time. "
"…"
Annie was clearly startled when she heard this.
"Something's wrong!" Annie couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. Then, she became alert and consoled herself. "Hmph, is he trying to play hard to get? Just wait and see! "
"Let's go!"
Annie stood up and coldly bade farewell.
…
"This is too outrageous. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have saved them." After Annie left, Zheng He couldn't help but complain. It was obvious that Annie's actions were very different from the eastern education that Zheng He had received.
"Forget it, ignore her!" Ouyang Shuo waved his hand. "Send some military doctors over to bandage up their wounded. Pack up and set sail for the English Channel as soon as possible. "
"Understood!"
"Get the navy to look after the prisoners of war to set off now!" Ouyang Shuo continued. "When they reach the base city, immediately turn back and rush to England to rendezvous with the fleet."
"Yes!"
Zheng He left to make the arrangements. However, Ouyang Shuo stood up and walked towards the deck. He hadn't had the time to check the spoils of war from killing the two giant dragons.
"Marquis!"
On the deck, the dismemberment of the giant dragon corpses was nearing its end.
When the craftsmen saw Ouyang Shuo, they all bowed.
The giant dragons in "On Earth" were just spiritual beasts that couldn't fly. They weren't as magical as described in western fantasy novels. As long as one found the right spot, the dragon's skin could easily lie down.
Among the leather types, the dragon's skin was considered a top-notch material. Among them, the leather on the giant dragon's buttocks and back was the best. This was because the fibers in these parts were relatively dense, had strong mechanical strength, and had good resistance to bending.
[Perfect Giant Dragon Skin]: Quality 28. Top-notch leather collected from western giant dragons can be used to make top-notch defensive equipment.
Ouyang Shuo kept the leather on the giant dragon's back and buttocks. It wasn't that he wanted to make any defensive equipment, but that he wanted to prepare a gift for Qing 'er.
This top-notch leather would definitely be the girl's favorite.
Apart from the leather, the most valuable part of the giant dragon was the giant dragon crystal in its head. Its function was equivalent to the inner core of an eastern desolate beast, and it could assist in cultivation.
The two giant dragons were of the fire element, and the dragon crystal was also of the fire element. It didn't match Ouyang Shuo's cultivation technique or even his talent. If he forcefully used it, the effect would probably be greatly reduced.
However, this dragon crystal was a top-notch treasure for western hidden professions — Magicians.
Ouyang Shuo put the two dragon crystals into his storage bag and turned to leave. As for refining the body with dragon blood, it didn't exist in "Earth's Onle". At most, the dragon meat contained more energy.
The two giant dragons could be dismembered into several tons of dragon meat, enough for the ocean fleet to consume for a while.
On the 15th of August, the ocean fleet set off once again, accompanied by the remnants of Annie's troops.
The journey was peaceful, and they didn't encounter any Viking pirates.
The Viking pirates were most active in the North Sea, Norway, and Greenland Seas, not the Celtic Sea, but the North Sea. Those were their true lair.
Annie had already encountered the largest group of Viking pirates in the Celtic Sea.
On the 18th of August, the fleet successfully arrived at Plymouth Harbor in England.
In reality, Plymouth was a city with a rich maritime history. It used to be a shipyard for the British Royal Navy, and it was also the main port for the British to go to sea in the 16th and 19th centuries.
As early as 1000 BC, there was a small commercial port here.
In the game, Plymouth Harbor was an exclusive harbor within the territory of Castle Avic.
After receiving the news, the Lord of Castle Avic, Marquis William, was already waiting at the harbor to welcome Ouyang Shuo and his party.
Like Ouyang Shuo, William was also a complete sis-con. However, Annie was about the same age as him, so she could cause more trouble, which gave William a headache.
When he found out that Annie's fleet was attacked and almost completely wiped out, William was so angry that he almost used the territory's navy to encircle the Viking pirates. He only gave up after his subordinates tried to stop him.
William was extremely grateful to Ouyang Shuo and his party.
