Chapter 912 – Somalia Crusade

Friendship City was the African continent headquarters of the Black Snake Guards. Their infiltration of Morocco had started long when Friendship City was being built.

The day that Friendship City was being attacked, Ouyang Shuo had ordered them to thoroughly investigate the matter. Through interrogating the prisoners, the tip of the spear pointed at the Somalia royal family.

Hence, they set up a day and night surveillance of the palace.

...

7th month, 3rd day, a desolate island in the Amirante Islands of the Indian Ocean.

The Farrah who appeared on the desolate island was in a terrible state. After escaping Courage port, he had been hiding left and right, defending against the revenge of Great Xia while also being afraid that the Somalia Royal Family would kill him to keep him quiet.

He decided to come into contact with the royal family representative, as he really could not spend his days like this anymore.

Although Farrah was on the oceans, he could use the forums to learn of the happenings in the country. News that the Atlantic Squadron had entered the Gulf of Aden reached his ears.

This made him feel despair.

The only people that could help him were the Somalia royal family.

Farrah had thought about the possibility of them killing him, so the cunning Farrah had prepared for it.

The moment they met, Farrah said, “I would like to make it clear before we begin that I sent evidence of our cooperation to my right hand man, so if something happens to me, the evidence will be revealed to the public.”

“....”

The Somalia representative was stunned. Whatever he was planning was rendered useless.

“Why would we?” The representative forced a smile, “His majesty wants to invite you to the palace to discuss.”

“That’s great.”

At this very moment, warships appeared outside the islands. It was the Atlantic Squadron.

When Farrah saw that, he pulled out his sword, “Are you playing with me?”

The representative was even more astonished than Farrah, “I did not lead them here. I’m not stupid, why would I work with them?”

Farrah instantly understood what had happened. He looked at the representative with despise, “Idiot, you got followed, and you did not even know.”

“What should we do now?” The representative was more anxious than Farrah.

Farrah suddenly calmed down, “What can we do? If we do not want to die, we need to surrender.”

In the vast ocean, on a few small islands, there was no way they could escape.

Pirates like Farrah were wanted openly by Somalia players. Even if he committed suicide, he would revive on the spot. He would not even be allowed to enter the reincarnation hall.

To be a pirate and have freedom, one naturally needed to pay a price.

Even if he could revive in the imperial city, it was useless to him. The moment he walked out, he would be caught by Great Xia or the Somalia royal family.

Rather than that, why not just surrender now?

Who knows, maybe he could rely on the information he had on hand to exchange for his life.

Hence, there were no more accidents, and the Atlantic Squadron successfully caught their fish.

Even the Somalia representative did not want to die and surrendered, becoming the unexpected catch. This catch one again solidified the fact that Somalia royal family was working with Farrah.

...

7th month, 5th day, Friendship City.

With Farrah’s lead, in a short two days, the Sky Wolf Pirate Organization was totally wiped out.

Sky Wolf Pirate Organization not only affected the interests of the Great Xia Dynasty, but it also affected those of the merchants coming to and fro through the Gulf of Aden.

The destruction of the pirates had allowed them to regain the trust of the merchants of Friendship City and of Great Xia.

After the battle, Farrah was locked up. Due to his list of crimes, the situation was really serious. The Internal Affairs Court sent a special procurator to Friendship City to judge the case.

Ouyang Shuo specially invited overseas media to report the case proceedings.

The goal was to reveal the dirty acts of the Somalia royal family and give them the moral high ground to start war.

Till date, Ouyang Shuo still had the position of honorary knight awarded by the Somalia King. For the king to collude with pirates and attack the knight’s territory was unacceptable.

Even the Somalia people would not stand on his side.

...

7th month, 8th day, Farrah’s case came to an end.

Due to Farrah helping out, he was only locked up for a year. Privately, Ouyang Shuo used his own name to give him 100 thousand gold to allow Farrah to relax for a year in jail.

To Farrah, this was the best outcome.

The truth was out, and the Somalia royal family was swept up by a storm. The Somalia players were filled with worry, as they could feel that a huge battle was on the horizon.

They were right.

7th month, 10th day, Great Xia Dynasty officially launched their crusade on the Somalia Royal family, “Somalia King colludes with pirate, hurting the people, losing people’s sentiment; he’s not a true king!”

Ouyang Shuo appointed Di Qing as the main general, and Fleet Admiral Alvaro and General Lu Bu as the left and right generals respectively. They would lead the Somalia Formation, Guards Legion Corps 3rd legion, and the 4th and 5th division of the Atlantic Division. A total of 200 thousand troops would head over to Somalia.

The moment they moved out of Friendship City, a System Notification sounded out in the ears of the Somalia players.

“System Notification: China Region Lord Qiyue Wuqi initiates a country war, Somalia enters country war mode, level 1 state of alert!”

...

In the eyes of Gaia, a country war was a country war, and there was nothing righteous or not righteous about it. Great Xia going on a crusade against Somalia was them starting a country war.

This point was one that everyone knew about.

Great Xia Dynasty had put in so much work, and it was only to give them the moral high ground. This was to stop other countries, especially those from Africa and the Mediterranean, from joining in.

If those Lords interfere, it would be stepping into the internal matters of Somalia. If they started the precedence, Ouyang Shuo would not mind interfering in African and Mediterranean politics.

Hence, this was also a warning to all of them.

...

Somalia was located at the east of Africa. Its north faced the Gulf of Aden, its east was to the Indian Ocean, and its west was connected to Kenya and northwest to Djibouti.

The East was flat plains, and the coast mostly consisted of sand dunes. The Gulf of Aden coast was low plains, the middle portion was high plains, the north was mostly mountains, and the southwest was grass plains, half desert and desert.

If one looked down from the sky of Somalia, it would look like a really huge Arabic seven. Friendship City was located at the corner of the seven, while the imperial city Mogadishu was located at the middle.

Similar to Morocco, the inhabitable areas were along the coastline.

Spices were one of the most important products of Somalia.

Although they had only 800 thousand people, there were six territories remaining within the country, which was three more than Morocco. They were all scattered along the coastline.

This was due to the complicated racial situation in Somalia. Each race did not want to yield to the others.

Hence, it gave birth to such a situation.

Out of the six territories, there were two that were directly controlled by Great Xia. Black Snake has been farming so hard in Somalia and had obtained some results.

With this to rely on, Ouyang Shuo had some confidence in this crusade.

Due to Somalia not having a deep history and no advanced technology, be it their territory armies or guards, their equipment were really backward, and they were not the opponents of the Great Xia Army.

Ouyang Shuo was really confident about taking down Somalia, so much so that he did not personally lead it. This country war would be training for the Somalia Formation as well as Di Qing’s commanding ability.

...

The moment the notification was out, Somalia players panicked.

The war horn had been sounded, and they had no choice but to fight. The Somalia players started to gather up.

At the current day, players were not as rushed as Singapore was when they faced country wars. They knew that they needed to gather up all the combat occupation players.

However, as for whether they could defend against the assault or not, they did not have any confidence.

The six territory armies all gathered up their troops toward Mogadishu. With their soldier numbers, they could only rely on the imperial city now.

Just territory armies alone could not stop the iron army of the Great Xia.

The truth was as such. Under Di Qing’s leadership, the Somalia Formation and the Guards Legion Corps 3rd legion entered together like two whirlwinds. One was east and one was east, and then going from north to south.

Everywhere the army went, they found no enemy that could defend against them. The enemy could only flee for their lives.

The Cabinet was prepared, and they had gathered a team of officials before the battle to take over the territories occupied.

Such an act showed the confidence of the Great Xia Dynasty.

From the Great Xia King to the officials and the generals in the dynasty to the normal people, everyone knew that they would take down Somalia. The only problem was if it would take a week or half a month.

Such confidence was the specialty of a new dynasty, overcoming the obstacles before them and becoming invincible.
