Dragon Head, war room.
Zheng He reported the results, ”During this battle, we obtained 12 thousand Viking pirates, 20 thousand gold, and many equipment.”
Ouyang Shuo nodded expressionlessly, ”Send a navy unit to escort them back to Jidian City and put them into the Mediterranean Squadron. As for the gold, gift it to the soldiers as a reward for being a part of the voyage.”
Zheng He laughed, cupping his fists, ”I thank the Lord for his gifts on behalf of the soldiers.”
The Viking Pirates were all top-quality naval soldiers in terms of body qualities and naval battle skills. Compared to the Gulf of Aden pirates and the Spanish navy, they were a little stronger.
Their only weakness would be their lax discipline.
However, with Alvaro in charge, there should not be too much of a problem. That experienced general was known for not giving others face, and he was described as a cold person.
No matter how disruptive and ill-disciplined they were, Alvaro would train them up nicely.
12 thousand Viking prisoners were enough to fully fill up the 3rd squadron. In that aspect, destroying the Viking Pirates was a good way to increase their troops.
Relying on the snail-like pace of Jidian City to expand population of the squadrons was not practical. The new people were mainly to increase the basic population of Jidian City.
It seemed like he needed to send a letter to Alvaro to ask him to lead the Mediterranean squadron through the Gibraltar Straits into the Pacific to attack some Viking Pirates when the time was right.
With that, he would be able to train troops and expand the military.
”As for the equipment, take half with the prisoners and send it to Jidian City. As for the other half, give it to the English Squadron. They put in so much effort, so we should not make it too ugly for them.” Ouyang Shuo instructed.
”Understood!” Zheng He was a polite person.
At this moment, the guard outside said, ”Lord, Infanta Annie visits.”
”Invite her in.” Ouyang Shuo stood up to welcome the guests.
When he learned that the squadron they had saved was actually the Iron ladies Army under Annie, Ouyang Shuo was surprised.
In the last life, this cold-faced angel was famous across the world. On the forums, there were rumors that she had the beauty of an angel but a heart as cold as a devil's.
If history had not changed, Annie would rise up after her first failure; she would totally become the nightmare of the Viking Pirates.
In their words, she was a female devil that killed without blinking.
Annie became the humiliation of the Viking Pirates.
By the 5th year of Gaia, no less than 200 thousand Viking pirates were killed by her; this was more than half of their total number.
With that, her fame spread across the globe.
Numerous Lords and guild leaders chased after her, but nobody succeeded.
Someone even spread the rumor that she was a lesbian and that Caroline was her lover, which was why she rejected everyone.
In the last life, people treated it as side news and did not pay much attention to it.
When she walked into the room, the room lit up. Amongst all the beauties Ouyang Shuo knew, probably only Feng Qiuhuang could compare to her.
Beside her stood a red-haired beauty with a tantalizing body. Needless to say, it was Caroline.
Thinking back to the rumors in the last life, Ouyang Shuo could not help but glance at the two. This was the first time he had seen them. In terms of looks, the forums had not exaggerated in the slightest.
They were truly more beautiful than the pictures online.
Only her cold expression caused men to not dare to have any crooked thoughts. It was like even just thinking about it would be blasphemy to this goddess.
However, Annie misinterpreted the meaning behind his gaze and thought that he was like other men; she thought he was shallow and only went for looks, so a look of disdain flashed across her eyes.
”Infanta Annie, I've heard about you, please sit!”
Ouyang Shuo was truly sharp; he had noticed the despise in her eyes. However, in his heart, he did not feel bothered about it much and sat at the main seat. With his current position and mental strength, why would he bother to explain anything?
When Annie heard his words, she sat down coldly, ”Speak, what would you like in return?”
Cough!
Even though Ouyang Shuo was calm, these words managed to catch him off guard. What kind of attitude was this? This was the first time he met someone who was saved and still so stubborn.
”Forget it!” Ouyang Shuo waved his hand to prevent Zheng He from speaking, smiling, ”Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. As long as Infanta Annie leads me to see your brother, that will be enough. How about that?”
”Just that simple?”
Annie unknowingly frowned; she had seen so many so-called gentlemen who loved to take a step back, only to take a step forward later to get close to her and gain a good impression. Ouyang Shuo's action had deepened her misunderstanding.
”Yes, it's just that simple.” Ouyang Shuo nodded.
”Okay, I'll promise you.”
Annie bore the annoyance in her heart. Although she was cold and arrogant, she knew how to differentiate between hate and gratitude.
