Berbera Inn.
Like other port inns, the Berbera Inn was filled with sexily-dressed bar ladies, drunk brutes, and many random people.
Along with the dark lights, and the thick smell of beer in the air, this was the very picture of an inn.
Even so, when Ouyang Shuo and his men walked inside, it suddenly fell silent. Loud and soft discussions followed at every corner of the inn.
This was the first time the Berbera Inn had welcomed an asian face. Along with the equipment of the personal guards, with their red divine martial capes, they looked like tough people.
Such a squad was naturally eye-catching.
The moment they entered, Personal Guards Captain Chen Dameng immediately took up a huge table and invited Ouyang Shuo to sit.
"Welcome! Mister, what would you like to drink?" Immediately, a seductive woman approached them; her massive breasts jiggled as she walked forward, bouncing up and down when she talked, what a tempting sight.
Ouyang Shuo took out a gold coin and placed it into her cleavage, as he smiled, "Give me a flask of banana wine and two large plates of beef."
"Wow!"
Whistle noises instantly spread out through the inn. In just a moment, Ouyang Shuo had wiped out the apprehension of the locals. They had accepted his presence.
The things that Ouyang Shuo had ordered held a certain meaning.
Bananas were the main agricultural product of Somalia, and it was massive with thick flesh and a sweet taste. In the global market, it had the reputation of being the sweetest banana in the world.
Hence, when Somalians welcomed guests, their tables would be covered with bananas. There were raw bananas, banana rice, banana cakes, banana wine, and more.
Islam was the main religion of Somalia, and 99% of the population were believers. Hence, in a Muslim area, people could not eat meats such as pork, horse, and camel.
Ouyang Shuo ordering beef was to respect their customs.
This was in an inn; otherwise, they could not even drink. The girls in the inn were all gypsies; if not, they would not act so open and bold.
To someone who was worth tens of millions, one gold coin was not much.
But to the girl, one gold coin was half a month of her pay. In such a small inn, that was already considered a massive tip.
Along with Ouyang Shuo looking so handsome and chivalrous, it made this gypsy girl fall for him, and she gave him her sweetest smile. She did not forget to wink, "Please wait for a short while, it'll be up soon."
"Wow, Karina's heart is moved!" someone joked.
"Drunkard Dylan, be careful of your ass!"
Karina might seem like a gentle girl in front of Ouyang Shuo, but she was a bold person on the inside. She was a rose with thorns.
Haha!
When they saw Dylan geting scolded, the other people in the inn mocked him.
As the inn regained its bustle, everyone became engrossed in their own conversations. Ouyang Shuo seemed like he was not paying attention, but in truth, nothing in the inn was able to escape from his eyes and ears.
"Did you hear? Reed bumped into some trouble."
"The pirates again?"
"If it wasn't those bunch, who else?"
"Sigh, for this period of time I don't dare to go out fishing; the pirates are too rampant."
……
“I heard that the Hunting Leopard Mercenary Squad is going to gather a batch of players to hunt the pirates."
"Let's hope they succeed!"
……
It seems like even the local Somalian players are facing the threats of the pirates, Ouyang Shuo pondered, feeling even more wary about the calm that the squadron had faced.
After a short while, Karina carried over the banana wine and beef, asking softly, "Mister are you free tonight? I'll drink with you." As she spoke, she looked seductively at Ouyang Shuo.
Gypsy women were just so passionate; they did not hide their emotions. Once they liked someone, they would show it.
"My apologies, I'll be sailing off in the afternoon." Ouyang Shuo smiled and rejected her proposition.
"That's such a shame!" Karina was well mannered and did not bug him.
"Well wishes, beautiful miss!"
Ouyang Shuo toasted a cup of banana wine to express his thanks.
……
In this foreign land, he slowly ate beef and drank a unique tasting banana wine. Ouyang Shuo was enjoying this hard to come by atmosphere of a foreign country. A while later, Ouyang Shuo finally got up to leave.
Just as they passed a corner, Chen Dameng walked up and whispered, "Lord, we are being followed."
"Don't worry."
When they were in the inn, Ouyang Shuo had noticed that there were two people in the corner that were staring at them.
Ouyang Shuo turned into a small alley, walking halfway into it. Then he turned around and said toward the seemingly empty alley, "Friends, show yourself. If you have anything, just say it."
After around two minutes, two teen males walked out from the corner.
"Are you the Lianzhou Lord of the China region?"
One of them asked.
"That's right.”
Delighted, one of them said, "Hello, we are from the Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group."
"Oh?" Ouyang Shuo was instantly interested, "Why did you follow me?"
"Can we invite you to our base?" They sent out an invitation, "Our guild leader would like to meet you."
Ouyang Shuo thought about it and smiled, "Sure, lead the way."
"Lord!" Chen Dameng felt a little worried and tried to stop him. They were in an unfamiliar area and accepting such requests was simply too dangerous.
Ouyang Shuo glanced at him and followed the two players. When Chen Dameng saw the situation, he could only follow helplessly. A short while after, a personal guard left the group.
In his last life, Ouyang Shuo had a rough recollection of the Somalia players starting a large-scale pirate hunting operation. Regretfully, that operation had ended in failure.
Spies had revealed the plan to the pirates, resulting in an ambush.
During that battle, the Somalia Navy was crushed. Without this restraint, more pirates appeared in the Gulf of Aden, and they grew bolder.
If Shanhai City wanted to open trade to the west, they would need a safe and reliable route. Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group going after the Somali pirates was exactly what Shanhai City wanted.
Hence, Ouyang Shuo had no reason to reject the invitation.
Hunting Leopard Mercenary Group was the biggest guild in Somalia, based in the imperial city Mogadishu. Its guild leader was Farrah and to attack the pirates, Farrah had personally come over at Berbera Port.
For this pirate hunting operation, the Somalia people had sent out all their elites. The Lords near the oceans provided warships, and the adventure gamemode players acted as the vanguards.
These Lord and guild players formed up a 150 thousand force alliance army.
The base that they had mentioned was the command center of the alliance army.
"Lianzhou Lord, I have heard of your name for so long!"
When he received the news, Farrah personally came out to welcome Ouyang Shuo.
"Coming to your land, I didn't mean to cause worry." Ouyang Shuo replied.
"Please!"
Farrah was extremely warm, grabbing Ouyang Shuo's hand and leading him into the command center.
The fall of Singapore had sent the voyage squadron of Shanhai City into everyone’s line of sight.
Ouyang Shuo had even spread the news that he wanted to be the first Lord in the world to complete a cross ocean adventure on the forums. Moreover, he stated that his ultimate goal for this trip was England. With that, the countries along the oceans started to pay more attention to them.
Hence, when the voyage squadron reached Berbera Port, the eye-catching golden dragon flag had attracted the attention of the players.
The golden dragon flag, the flag of Shanhai Territory, was famous all around the world.
Farrah, as a local snake, naturally received the news right away. Just as he was thinking about how to contact them, Ouyang Shuo entered an inn and was recognized by members of his guild.
Farrah's reason for acting so warm was rather obvious. Obviously, he wanted the voyage squadron to join their pirate hunting operation.
……
Toward Ouyang Shuo's arrival, the expressions of the people varied greatly. Some were curious, some were wary, and some were even unhappy.
The fall of Singapore was a bloody fact that Shanhai City’s voyage squadron was an invasive force; they were not peaceful people.
Luckily, Farrah held prestige in Somalia, so no one dared to come out and make noise.
They were judging him, so why wouldn't Ouyang Shuo be judging them too? In his last life, the reveal of the plan definitely came from one of them. If not, the pirates could not have received such complete information. Regretfully, Ouyang Shuo could not tell who was acting weird.
Both sides had just met, and they did not trust each other. They were just making use of each other for personal gain. Hence, Ouyang Shuo did not have any hopes of getting deep into their operation.
Ouyang Shuo only promised that if the alliance army gave Shanhai City a decent position, the voyage squadron would be willing to help out.
Of course, this was only limited to helping out, and the alliance army would not command them.
Farrah was already satisfied with this. Of course, when a forest was big, there were all kinds of birds. Some were unhappy with the way Ouyang Shuo acted, "You are too arrogant! Since it's an alliance army, how can you not follow commands?"
When Ouyang Shuo heard these words, his eyes turned cold, and he looked at Farrah. He did not say a word, obviously unhappy with such a childish question.
"Di Da, quickly apologize to the Lianzhou Lord." Farrah chided.
Di Da was still unhappy, "I'm not wrong, why should I apologize?"
"You!" Farrah was furious and felt that he had lost face in front of his guest, "Di Da, I’ll speak the ugly words upfront. Quickly apologize, or I'll immediately kick you out of the alliance army."
"What?" Di Da jumped up; Farrah's words had shocked him. He totally did not expect that Farrah would want to banish him for an outsider.
Just thinking about it, if he was kicked out of the alliance army, he would not be able to raise his head in this circle every again.
