Ouyang Shuo remained silent for a while, ”Tell them that we will split the treasures on the island rationally. I'll allow them to destroy the port and the houses; they can even take the old, young, and wounded as slaves. But no killing, that is our bottom line.”
Ouyang Shuo would not cross his own bottom line just to gain the trust of someone. If that was the case, even if he won, people would look down on him in the future.
On the contrary, taking such a hard approach would make others respect him more.
”Understood!”
Zheng He relaxed; he nodded his head solemnly and went down to arrange matters.
Ten minutes later, Zheng He and the player representatives finished their discussion. The Somalia players did not dare to go against his orders. Both sides backed off and arrived at a consensus.
Players numbering in the tens of thousands along with the Divine Martial Guards landed onto Sky Wolf Island.
...
Ouyang Shuo did not rush to get off. He simply stood there on the deck and looked at the island quietly. In less than half an hour, smoke rose.
The victors roared and cheered while the losers cried.
Flames consumed house after house, engulfing the entire island in a sea of fire. The old, weak, young, and women were chased into an empty section of the port. All of them were shivering in fear, their eyes totally lost.
In a chaotic world, people were defenseless, there to be stepped on by others.
Anguish and pain appeared in their eyes when they saw their homes being destroyed just like that. Some of the children looked at the Somalia players with a tinge of hatred.
In their eyes, they were the true pirates.
The players ransacked every house, taking anything of value before burning it up, turning the buildings into ash.
Box after box of gold, silver, and gems were carried to the port and stacked up.
Unavoidably, the players would keep some of the treasures for themselves. As long as they did not take too much, Zheng He would overlook it.
Joining in was a blessing itself to the players.
The normal houses did not have anything much; the truly valuable items laid in the headquarters. They swept the treasury, the secret room, and the armory clean.
The Divine Martial Guards personally took care of these places, and no players were allowed. If not, and they were tempted by the riches, who knows what they would do.
After cleaning out these players, a massive fire followed.
These flames provoked the killing intent of the players. Some of the bold ones ignored Ouyang Shuo's orders and started killing people.
Suddenly, two elderly laid prone on the ground with blood flowing around them.
As the light from the flames shone onto this scene, it seemed extremely cruel.
When the Divine Martial Guards saw this situation, they acted to stop it. This nearly caused a conflict between both sides. Luckily, Zheng He stepped out in time to prevent escalation.
When Ouyang Shuo received the news, his face turned gloomy, and he ordered his men to drown those players in the ocean to wake them up.
...
As they say, 'Things are easy to destroy but hard to build.'
In just less than two hours, the entire island was reduced to rubble.
Even the humid environment of the island could not extinguish these massive flames. Eventually, the fire continued to spread, burning all the agriculture on the island.
The entire pirate island was left utterly barren.
The pirate prisoners that Shanhai City allowed the Somalia players to execute were all killed on the island. Their heads were chopped off and pierced with bamboo, forming a circle around the island.
When Ouyang Shuo saw this scene, he did not say a word.
Facing such a dead island, Ouyang Shuo had no intentions of leaving just yet. He ordered the troops to just spend the night on the boat before leaving tomorrow.
On the other hand, excitement filled the Somalia players.
When night time arrived, they set up campfires on the island and held boisterous parties to celebrate their great victory, not caring about the sticks of pirate heads around them.
They also invited Ouyang Shuo to join their festive, but he rejected the offer. Thinking about the families of the pirates who were barbarically locked on the warships, Ouyang Shuo was unable to immerse himself in the atmosphere.
It was too cruel!
For the entire night, Zheng He collated the riches that they had plundered. As the base of the largest pirate organization in the Gulf of Aden, a sizeable amount of riches had been amassed after many years of robbery.
The final tabulation numbered the riches at around 520 thousand gold, six boxes of jewelry, and four thousand pieces equipment. As for basic resources, they were burned by the fire.
Apart from these riches, there would be three items that they had found in the secret room.
Ouyang Suuo took a look; it was a scroll, a pair of boots, and a telescope.
