Chapter 647 Looting Sirius Island

The pirates receded like a black tide, which was really spectacular.

Ouyang Shuo put away the Heavenly Demon Spear on Farah's neck, and said flatly, "Get lost!"

Farah was obviously taken aback, but then he realized that he retreated with the pirates in embarrassment, for fear that Ouyang Shuo would regret it. Seeing the leader's retreat, the members of the [Cheetah Mercenary Corps], who were still in a daze just now, followed and left.

To Farah, Ouyang Shuo promised to spare his life.

The other members of the [Cheetah Mercenary Corps] don't have this kind of treatment. During their retreat, they were constantly intercepted and killed by naval officers and men without mercy.

The sailors never forgot that it was these traitors who caused them heavy losses.

The sword and shield soldiers are responsible for intercepting, and the archers are responsible for shooting. It is even said that cannons were used to bombard and kill players who had escaped from the battleship and boarded the boat, which shows the depth of hatred of the soldiers.

The pirates who were exhausted from running for their lives would not help these "allies" at this time. Someone attracted the firepower for them, and it was too late for them to be happy, so how could they ask for trouble? !

In the end, there were less than 2,000 members of the [Cheetah Mercenary Corps] who actually evacuated with the pirates.

...

Looking at the back of Farah fleeing in embarrassment, Ouyang Shuo remained silent.

Of course he could break his promise and put Farah to death. Or do it more beautifully, hand over Farah to the Somali player, and reply flatly: "I promised not to kill you, but it does not mean that the player will not kill you."

It's a pity that no matter how you cover it up, it's a breach of trust.

People do not believe, do not stand.

Even in the face of enemies, or even enemies, one cannot easily break one's word. For the lord, or even the future king, if you lose your trust with others today, you may lose your trust with the world tomorrow.

There are ten thousand ways to deal with Farah, so why rush? !

If it is for a small profit in front of you, what you will lose is great righteousness and great profit.

Letting Farah go is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. But Farah's life was not bestowed by Ouyang Shuo, he got it with the condition that all members of [Cheetah Mercenary Corps] stop fighting.

Since it is an exchange, Ouyang Shuo must fulfill the contract.

As for how Farah will be aggressive in the future, let Somalia have a headache. Having a common enemy is a good thing for the cooperation between Shanhai City and Somalia.

...

"Pursuit!"

Zheng He commanded the fleet and began to fight back against the pirate ships.

"Fire!" The artilleryman was in position again, his eyes filled with vengeful anger.

The sound of "rumbling" guns exploded on the sea, setting off huge waves one after another. The pirates who were still on the small boat suffered immediately, and were destroyed by the bombing.

In sea artillery battles, the ocean-going fleet is the absolute king, and it is the existence that makes the enemy fearful.

After suffering heavy casualties, the pirate ship sailed away without waiting for everyone to board, and fled in all directions. The entire sea surface is full of black pirate ships fleeing in all directions, which is really a spectacle.

The abandoned pirate could only cry helplessly, with despair in his eyes.

Assisting Somali players to encircle and suppress pirates is not considered a national war. Therefore, although Ouyang Shuo could get some meritorious rewards for killing pirates, it was nothing compared to the national war.

That being the case, how could Ouyang Shuo purely pursue killing the enemy? He gave Zheng He an order to ask the fleet to capture a group of pirates as much as possible so that they could be reorganized into a navy to supplement the losses in this battle.

Zheng He got the order, comprehended the king's intentions, and began to direct the artillery to chase the large pirate ship. After sinking it, he ignored it and continued to bombard the next pirate ship.

At the same time, the fleet dispatched countless red horse boats to capture the pirates who were discarded in the sea along the way. How could the pirates refuse to surrender as long as they could save their lives?

It is even said that as soon as the red horse boat passed, some pirates approached them on their own initiative, crying and shouting to surrender.

The scene was once very funny.

In this way of chasing and killing, the number of pirate prisoners doubled, and there were some members of the [Cheetah Mercenary Corps] among them, who were taken to the battleship together.

The pursuit at sea did not come to an end until three o'clock in the afternoon.

In the waters near Sirius Island, there are warship wrecks floating one after another, which is truly spectacular. The pirate ship that was not sunk had escaped unharmed and disappeared into the vast sea.

It is extremely difficult to find them again.

After this battle, more than 20,000 people were killed and more than 20,000 were captured in the three major pirate groups. Only more than 10,000 pirates, together with thousands of members of the [Cheetah Mercenary Group], escaped by luck.

The waters of the Gulf of Aden may be calm for a while.

Of course, just as Ouyang Shuo predicted, pirates are hard to eradicate, and it won't be long before the pirate group will revive again.

As for whether the three major pirate groups rule the roost, it is unknown.

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

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when the wounded were treated, the battle damage was counted, and the prisoners of war were counted.

The captured [Cheetah Mercenary Corps] members, Ouyang Shuo, handed over to the Somali players for disposal. Whether to kill or let go, Ouyang Shuo no longer cares about it, it's up to the Somali players to decide.

I also want to know what kind of miserable fate they are about to usher in.

It is reported that [Cheetah Mercenary Corps] has colluded with pirates and betrayed the country through the forum, and it has spread in Somalia.

[Cheetah Mercenary Group] The headquarters in Wangcheng has been surrounded by other guilds.

It can be foreseen that the largest guild in Somalia in the past will soon become history completely, and will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the royal city, or even in Somalia.

Even if innocent members of the mercenary group withdraw, no guild will accept them. What awaits them is to be a lonely ghost, to be hunted down and cast aside endlessly.

...

Ouyang Shuo had no time to pay attention to the fate of the [Cheetah Mercenary Group], what he cared about was the battle damage of the ocean-going fleet.

In this battle, more than 20,000 sailors and soldiers of the ocean-going fleet killed more than 7,500 people. The most heavy loss was the archer troops, more than 6,700 archers were buried in the sea.

Their deaths had a major relationship with Ouyang Shuo's decision. To put it more harshly, Ouyang Shuo, the lord, personally sent these brave fighters to their doom.

Even with Ouyang Shuo's heart of stone, he couldn't bear to see the corpses lined up on the deck. But the wilderness is so cruel, if it happened again, Ouyang Shuo would still choose this way.

In exchange for the trust and gratitude of the Somali players at the smallest cost, it is a strategic choice that cannot be changed to conquer another key node in the great route planned by Shanhai City.

Some blood must be shed.

What Ouyang Shuo can do is to increase the pension for the dead and treat the families of the fallen soldiers kindly.

"The order continues. Every soldier killed in this battle will be compensated with an additional ten gold coins on top of the pension stipulated by the Military Affairs Administration." Ouyang Shuo said to Zheng He.

"promise!"

There was inevitably a hint of tremor in Zheng He's tone of voice. Zheng He knew the ins and outs of the whole matter, but he didn't dare to delve into the deep meaning of it.

The king's heart is unpredictable, and the power of heaven is immeasurable.

"Among the 20,000 pirate prisoners, select 10,000 good fighters and reorganize them into the naval fleet. Then select a group of skilled sailors, and let the remaining prisoners be executed by the coalition forces!" Ouyang Shuo said lightly.

The words contained bloody killings.

It is impossible to gain the trust of Somali players without executing some pirate prisoners of war.

"Understood!" Zheng He responded.

After a slight tilt, there was a burst of cheers from the coalition battleship. Apparently, Ouyang Shuo's order to execute the pirate prisoners made the Somali players very satisfied and felt the thrill of revenge.

Each of the pirate prisoners of war showed despair in their eyes.

The fates of winners and losers are so contrasting that they draw the line between life and death.

Ouyang Shuo looked up at Sirius Island in the distance, his eyes were full of melancholy, "It will be the harvest season soon. Order the whole army to attack Sirius Island and loot the island's wealth."

"promise!"

Slightly tilted, the United Fleet quickly advanced into Sirius Island as a victor.

...

Sirius Island is the lair of the [Sirius Pirates]. In addition to adult pirates, there are also thousands of old and weak women and children living on the island. The whole island is a complete town with all kinds of facilities.

When the [Sirius Pirates] was defeated, there was chaos on the island. The family members on the island are in a state of panic all day long, feeling deeply that a catastrophe is imminent. The pirate flag symbolizing the pirate group on the top of the mountain was taken down and replaced with a white flag.

In the vast sea, there is no retreat, and surrender is their only way out.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the combined fleet slowly sailed into the port, preparing to land.

"My lord, the representatives of the coalition forces are asking for instructions. I hope you allow them to move freely on the island." Zheng He walked over with an ugly expression, and bowed to Ouyang Shuo.

Destroying the three major pirate regiments in one fell swoop, the ocean-going fleet triumphed over Somalia. Ouyang Shuo's prestige among Somali players has skyrocketed, and he is spontaneously supported by the players as a leader of the new generation.

Therefore, before they acted, they consciously asked Ouyang Shuo for permission.

The freedom of movement that players talk about is actually allowing them to burn, kill, and loot on the island.

Somali players already hate pirates. Except for the [Cheetah Mercenary Corps] who defected, more than half of the coalition sailors and adventure players were killed in this battle.

"Blood feuds can only be cleared with blood, and blood debts must be paid in blood." The player said.

For Zheng He, it was just a war. Since it is a war, it should not affect civilians, let alone a group of old and weak women and children.

The two concepts inevitably contradict each other.

For this reason, Zheng He had already quarreled with the bosses among the players, but failed to convince them. Regardless, players insist on bloody revenge on the island.

"General Zheng, we don't want to take any of the treasures on the island, but dedicate them all to your Ministry. Our only request is to let blood wash Sirius Island and avenge the dead compatriots." The player representative said so.

"These are two different things." Zheng He tried to refute, "As for the distribution of treasures, Shanhai City will not monopolize it, and the prince will definitely deal with it fairly."

"It's the same thing."

Neither of the two could convince the other, and in the end it was up to Ouyang Shuo to decide.
