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.

Name: Group Revival Scroll

Type: Special Item

Restriction: one-time use, restricted to Lord gamemode players

Function: can use up a certain amount of gold to revive dead soldiers, no upper limit. For 10 thousand soldiers and below, each soldier costs 10 gold; for every 10 thousand added, each one would cost 10 more gold.

Note: Cannot be used to revive advanced generals and above, including historical generals.

Undoubtedly, this was a scroll that was going to burn a lot of money. Normal people could not afford to use it. Based on the settings of the scroll, 40 thousand troops would cost 100 thousand gold. The more you revived, the less worth you received.

For a 50 thousand troop army, reviving 10 thousand would cost 500 thousand gold.

Even Shanhai City could not maintain such costs. Based on his estimations, reviving 50 thousand soldiers was basically the maximum for a Lord.

More importantly, it was a one-time use item. If it was not a crucial moment of life or death, one would not use it.

With this scroll in hand, he had obtained another trump card.

Putting it down, Ouyang Shuo picked up the boots and looked at their stats. The boots were exceedingly exquisite; they had dragon patterns and even emitted a golden shine.

Name: Cloud Dragon Nine Pattern War Boots (God Rank)

Type: Heavy Armor

Weight: 10 kilograms

Defence: 90

Toughness: 90

Specialty: Lightness (50% decrease in body weight).

Evaluation: Crafted from the skin of a true dragon, nourished by dragon blood, forged by the flames of heaven. Only overlords can use this item. Drop blood onto item to claim. Cannot be traded, cannot be dropped, can evolve.

Note: These war boots are part of the Dragon War set. If you gather up the set, you would activate the set specialty.

"What a surprise!" Ouyang Shuo smiled.

He totally did not expect to obtain a second piece of equipment in the Dragon War set so quickly. One could only say that his luck stat was turning for the better.

Lastly, the telescope.

It seemed rather old and looked like it was made of copper.

Name: Voyaging Telescope (Dark Gold)

Type: Support Item

Restriction: Restricted to voyagers

Stats: 50% increase in voyaging field of vision, 40% increase in visibility

Evaluation: A special telescope. If it is used well, it can cause wonders.

"Such an interesting thing." Ouyang Shuo said before passing it to Zheng He, "Here's your reward!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

Zheng He loved this telescope, directly accepting it.

Based on the words of the Somalia players, in their defeat of the pirates, the voyage squadron did the most and sacrificed the most. Hence, to repay them, they could give up on the rewards.

Naturally, Ouyang Shuo would not go all out. He was ready to just take the scroll and the boots, leaving the rest for the players.

A few hundred thousand gold was nothing to him.

One must know that he currently had four million gold in his storage bag. Apart from the two million from the Beihai Bay Rreasure, he still had the two million from selling the Xingzhou Prefecture Islands on him.

With the Four Seas Bank helping out, the territory finances would not need this sum of money.

Ouyang Shuo brought this money for two reasons. Firstly, he wanted to prepare for the 4th year auction. He wanted to prevent himself from coming up empty handed like the last time.

If history did not change, the 4th year auction would be vastly different from the 3rd. From the 4th year on, auctions would be combined instead of each country having their own. So, players from around the world would now compete against one another.

Without massive funds, it was impossible to win.

Gaia chose this method to prevent the depreciation of precious items.

With that, the weak would become weaker, and the strong would become stronger. Gaia had used the theory of survival of the fittest to the best of its meaning.

Secondly, if he successfully reached England, he would need to spend a great amount.

……

The moment the plan for splitting the treasures came out, the Somalia Players were delighted.

Although the Group Revival Scroll and Cloud Dragon Nine Pattern War Boots were valuable, they were impractical. With their massive numbers, it would be difficult to split these items.

Those two items could not be compared to the 520 thousand gold, six boxes of jewelry, and four thousand pieces of equipment in their eyes. The 10 thousand remaining players all received huge rewards.

On the other hand, the Lord players split the pirate ships.

With that, everyone was naturally delighted.
