Chapter 676 Fort Avek

Dragon Head, war room.

Zheng He was reporting the results of the battle, "I would like to report to you, that more than 12,000 Vikings were captured in this battle, more than 20,000 gold coins were seized, and some other weapons and equipment."

Ouyang Shuo nodded lightly, "Send a naval battalion to send the prisoners of war to Key Point City, where they will be incorporated into the Mediterranean Fleet. As for the captured gold coins, they will be rewarded directly to the soldiers, which can be regarded as a reward from the Oceanic Party."

Zheng He smiled when he heard the words, and clasped his fists together, "The final general thanked the princes for the rewards on behalf of the soldiers."

Viking prisoners of war are the best sailors in terms of physical fitness and water combat skills, stronger than the pirates in the Gulf of Aden and the Spanish Navy.

The only downside, I guess, is poor discipline.

However, with Admiral Álvaro sitting in command of the Mediterranean Fleet, it shouldn't be a big problem. The old general was a man who turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. He was known for his ruthlessness in the army.

No matter how unruly the Vikings are, they will be trained smoothly by Alvaro.

More than 12,000 Viking prisoners of war are enough to expand the third formation of the Mediterranean Fleet to full strength. From this point of view, exterminating Viking pirates is a good way to increase troops.

It is obviously unrealistic to rely on the snail-like population of Key Point City to expand the Mediterranean fleet. The refugees that are spawned are mainly to increase the basic population of the base city.

It seems that it is necessary to send a message to Alvaro, so that after the formation of the Mediterranean fleet, he will pass through the Strait of Gibraltar at the right time and enter the Atlantic Ocean to destroy the Viking pirates.

In this way, both training and military expansion are correct.

"As for the batch of weapons and equipment, take out half of them and send them to Base Point City with the prisoners of war. The remaining half should be given to the British fleet. The other side also contributes, so we can't look too ugly." Ouyang Shuo continued to order.

"Understood!" Zheng He was a kind person.

At this moment, the guards outside the door sent a message: "Report to Your Majesty, Princess Anne is visiting."

"Please come in." Ouyang Shuo stood up to greet her.

Knowing that the rescued fleet was actually the Iron Lady Army under Annie's command, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but smile.

In her previous life, Annie, the "cold-faced angel", was well known to players all over the world. Some people joked on the forum that Princess Anne has the beauty of an angel and is unparalleled in the world, but she hides a devil-like cold heart and is decisive in killing.

If the historical trajectory has not changed, Annie should have risen again after a setback, and thus became unstoppable and completely became a nightmare for Vikings.

In the mouth of the Viking pirates, Annie was described as a murderous queen.

Talking about "Annie" turned pale, and once became a shame for Viking pirates.

By the end of Gaia's five years, there were no less than 200,000 Vikings wiped out by Annie, and more than half of the Vikings were in Annie's hands.

As a result, Anne became famous all over the world.

There are countless great lords and grand masters who pursued Anne, but none of them succeeded.

Gradually, there were rumors that Anne was actually a lily, and that Caroline, who was under her command, was her lover. It was precisely because of this that Anne refused the pursuit of all the big shots.

In the previous life, everyone just took it as a side story and didn't take it seriously.

When Annie walked into the war room, the whole room was lit up, and it was truly stunning. Of all the beauties Ouyang Shuo knew, Feng Prison Huang was probably the only one who could compete with her.

Standing beside Anne was a hot red-haired beauty, needless to say, it was naturally Caroline.

Thinking of the rumors from his previous life, Ouyang Shuo subconsciously glanced at the two of them with inexplicable meaning. Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen the two people in the legend. In terms of appearance alone, there was no exaggeration on the forum.

Real people are more shocking than looking at photos on forums.

It's just Annie's cold expression that makes the man dare not have any extravagant thoughts. It seems that even if you think about it in your heart, it is a blasphemy to the goddess.

Annie, however, misunderstood Ouyang Shuo's gaze, thinking that Ouyang Shuo, like other men, was also a superficial person who was greedy for beauty, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

"Princess Anne, I have known you for a long time, please sit down!"

Ouyang Shuo was so keen, he immediately noticed the contempt in Annie's eyes, but he didn't care about it in his heart, and took the lead to sit down at the main seat. With his current status and state of mind, why should he explain anything.

Annie sat down coldly after hearing this, "Tell me, what do you want in return?"

"cough!"

Even with Ouyang Shuo's calmness, Annie caught him off guard. What kind of attitude is this? It was the first time he saw him, and he was so righteous after being rescued.

"That's all!" Ouyang Shuo waved his hand to stop Zheng He from speaking, and said with a smile, "It's cool. Even if that's the case, I won't play tricks. As long as Princess Anne introduces my brother for me, let's let it go, how about it?"

"It's that simple?"

Annie frowned subconsciously. She had seen too many so-called "gentlemen" who liked to retreat and take the opportunity to approach her to win her favor. Ouyang Shuo's actions further deepened Annie's misunderstanding.

"It's that simple." Ouyang Shuo nodded.

"Okay, I promise you."

Annie endured the disgust in her heart. Although she was cold and arrogant, she also had clear grievances and grievances.

"I want to see what kind of tricks you, the so-called number one lord in the world, have to play." Annie thought to herself, "Don't blame me for being ruthless, you hateful apprentice!"

The atmosphere in the reception room was suddenly a little cold.

Ouyang Shuo achieved his goal, and lost interest in chatting with this iceberg beauty. At his level, how could he be fooled by beauty, let alone an iceberg beauty.

In contrast, Ouyang Shuo felt that Caroline, who had a hot figure, was more eye-catching. Caroline stood behind Annie, seeing her lady's words, she also looked embarrassed, and smiled apologetically at Ouyang Shuo.

Annie sat quietly, waiting to see Ouyang Shuo's next "performance". She has seen this kind of trick a lot, and she just wants to use it as an excuse to invite her to dinner or something like "getting close".

The next step is to give gifts, display, or flaunt their wealth and power.

Annie felt sick just thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Shuo had already got up to see off the guests, "That's it, and please Princess Anne don't forget your promise. I still have something to do, so I won't waste everyone's precious time."

"..."

Annie was obviously taken aback when she heard this.

"The routine is wrong!" Annie couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, and then became vigilant, comforting herself: "Hmph, is this trying to play hard to get? Just wait and see!"

"let's go!"

Annie got up and said goodbye coldly.

...

"It's just too outrageous. If I knew it earlier, I might as well not save them." When Annie left, Zheng He couldn't help complaining. Obviously, Annie's behavior was very different from the oriental education Zheng He received.

"Forget it, leave her alone!" Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "Send some military doctors over there to bandage the wounded. Pack up and set sail for the English Channel as soon as possible."

"clear!"

"The naval battalion that is guarding the prisoners of war, let them set out now!" Ouyang Shuo continued, "When you arrive at Key Point City, turn back immediately and rush to England to join the fleet."

"yes!"

Zheng He went down to make arrangements, but Ouyang Shuo got up and walked towards the deck. He hadn't had time to inspect the spoils of the two giant dragons he had killed before.

"Your Majesty!"

On the deck, the dismemberment of the dragon's corpse was nearing completion.

When the craftsmen saw Ouyang Shuo, they all saluted.

The giant dragon in "Earth Online" is nothing more than a non-flying spirit beast, not as magical as described in western fantasy novels. As long as you find the right position, you can easily get down in a dragon skin.

Among the leathers, dragon leather is considered the top material, among which the leather of the dragon's hip and back is the best, because the fibrous tissue in this part is denser, the mechanical strength is strong, and it has good bending resistance.

[Perfect Dragon Skin]: Quality 28, the top leather collected from the western dragon, can be used to make top armor and equipment.

The leather on the dragon's back and buttocks was put away by Ouyang Shuo alone. It's not that he wants to make any armor, but a gift for Qing'er.

Such top leather must be Xiao Nizi's favorite.

Apart from the leather, the most valuable thing about the dragon is the huge dragon crystal that grows in its head, which acts like the inner alchemy in the body of the Eastern Desolate Beast and can assist in cultivation.

The two giant dragons are both fire-type, and the dragon crystal is also a fire-type dragon crystal, which doesn't match Ouyang Shuo's skills or talent. If it is used forcibly, I am afraid it will be greatly reduced.

This dragon crystal is a top-level treasure for the hidden profession in the west - magician.

Ouyang Shuo put the two dragon crystals into the storage bag, turned and left. As for dragon blood body training, it doesn't exist in "Earth Online". At most, dragon meat contains relatively abundant energy.

The two giant dragons can dismember several tons of dragon meat, which is enough for the ocean fleet to consume for a while.

************

On August 15th, the ocean-going fleet set off again, accompanied by the remnants of Anne's troops.

The journey was uneventful, and no Vikings were encountered again.

The most active sea area for Viking pirates was not the Celtic Sea, but the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and the Greenland Sea further north. There, is their lair.

What Annie encountered was already the largest group of Vikings in the Celtic Sea.

On August 18, the fleet arrived in Plymouth, England.

In reality, Plymouth is a city with a rich maritime history. It used to be the shipyard of the Royal Navy and the main port for the British to go to sea from the 16th to the 19th century.

As early as the first millennium BC, there was a small commercial port in the area.

The Port of Plymouth in the game is an exclusive port within the territory of Fort Avek.

Upon receiving the news, Lord William Marquis of Fort Avek waited at the port early to welcome Ouyang Shuo and his party.

Like Ouyang Shuo, William is also a complete sister-in-law. It's just that Annie is about the same age as him, so she can make more troubles, which makes William a headache.

Knowing that Anne's fleet was attacked and almost wiped out, William was so angry that he almost dumped his territorial navy and went out to sea to encircle and suppress the Viking pirates.

William was extremely grateful to Ouyang Shuo and his party.
