"Don, are we going back?" Sol asked with some regret.
During this period of plundering as pirates in Selwicks, these Vikings simply thought they were in paradise.
Fight off the guards with brandishing your weapon, then empty any belongings in sight.
This thing engraved in their DNA makes them feel extremely happy.
I just didn't expect that after everyone ransacked one pier after another, Tang Ping suddenly wanted to take them away.
"Thor, we are not really here to be pirates!" Tang Ping said angrily: "This is just a feint attack on our part. Calculate the time and the reinforcements from Sywex will come to the north. There is no need for us to waste them here. Too much power."
"And we need a break too!"
These Vikings can usually abide by discipline, but when fighting, they are extremely violent and even crazy.
Therefore, despite their overwhelming strength, some Viking warriors were inevitably injured, and these warriors also needed treatment and training.
Another reason is... I can’t pretend anymore, I really can’t pretend anymore.
Because Tang Ping's attack was too sudden, it was impossible to transfer supplies in advance to the areas being attacked. Almost every time, they gained a lot, and there were always a large amount of supplies in the warehouses of the docks and castles.
Tang Ping and the others found a small island nearby to hide these trophies, and now even that small island can no longer hold them.
They also need to send several batches of supplies back to the Viking territory to clear out the island before heading to Outantanhop Island.
"Warriors! Our Viking warriors are back!"
"Really back, I saw their skeleton sails!"
"Go and inform the elders that the Viking warriors are back."
When all the sailboats appeared in the waters of the Viking territory with their unique skeleton sails, there were Vikings shouting excitedly on the fishing boats.
They were brave Viking warriors outside, but when they returned to the Viking territory, they were just ordinary sons, husbands and fathers.
"Why are you back so soon?" Elder Leif brought the elders of each tribe to the beach to greet them.
They thought that Tang Ping and the others had encountered some trouble. After all, they had only been out for more than a month. It was impossible to say that they had defeated Selwicks in more than a month, right?
"Move some things back, and then go to Outantanhop Island!!" After Tang Ping finished speaking, the Vikings disembarked from the ship carrying their trophies.
"Oh my God, so much food!!"
"And clothes, lots of clothes!"
"Mom, look, that's a beautiful bowl, right? Can we share one? My wooden bowl is very worn!"
"These are..." Elder Leif asked incredulously.
"Robbing it!" Tang Ping said very proudly: "This was all stolen by everyone after they became pirates!"
He doesn't mind cultivating such a pirate force in Northern Europe at all.
Learn from the foreigners and learn their skills to control the foreigners. Since Europe could turn into pirates and plunder all over the world, it makes sense to cultivate a pirate force here to rob them, right?
Anyway, even within a hundred or two hundred years, it is absolutely impossible for this country to surpass the Tang Dynasty in terms of shipbuilding technology and weapons technology.
These pirates can threaten anyone, but they cannot threaten the Tang Dynasty, so Tang Ping is not afraid that the Viking pirates will be too powerful by then. And not all European countries are fools. The pirate power is too huge, and they will definitely have their own countermeasures.
These pirate forces can also contain and pull each other with European countries!
The entire Viking territory fell into a sea of joy, and they were officially opened to the new world by Tang Ping.
It turns out that in this world, besides farming and hunting, there is another way to obtain food and other living resources! !
And this method is more direct and more in line with the appetite of their Vikings.
These Vikings have no psychological burden for plundering. In their view, they are regarded as savages by people from other countries. Those countries only want to oppress and enslave them, so it is reasonable for them to go back and snatch their things. .
"How about it, Elder Leif, do you want to form a pirate group?" Tang Ping looked at Elder Leif and the members of the elder group around him like a poisonous snake tempting Adam and Eve to taste the forbidden fruit.
If it weren't for the purpose of inciting the Vikings, he could have moved these things back to Waitanhop Island.
After this month, he has made a lot of money, and he can easily earn back his initial investment.
But he didn't do this. Instead, he took these trophies back to the Vikings' territory and let them use them to support their families.
Elder Leif looked at the boxes of supplies carried off the ship, and then thought about the old people in his clan who starved to death and froze to death every winter. He really couldn't refuse Tang Ping's proposal.
Each nation has its own way of living. The Vikings have worked very hard in farming and hunting in Northern Europe, but the meager harvest still cannot feed everyone. On the contrary, plundering has given them hope.
This was originally one of the reasons why Vikings formed in history.
"Even if you are a pirate, you can still be a principled pirate!" Tang Ping continued to say seductively: "We can let go of the merchant ships of civilians and ordinary merchants! And there are many wealthy lords and nobles who only know how to exploit civilians. , can’t we rob them and then distribute part of the looted wealth to the poor?”
"Is this still possible?" Elder Leif asked with some uncertainty.
"Of course, we call this robbing the rich and giving to the poor!!" Tang Ping said: "As long as we formulate a set of pirate rules and strictly abide by them!"
It is not that there are no pirate groups in Europe at this time, but those pirate groups all have no principles and no organizational scale.
If the Vikings are willing to enter, they will become an unprecedented giant pirate group, and the whole of Europe will live in their shadow.
Datang could even provide some weapons and equipment to these Vikings to maintain their deterrent power against Europe.
When Tang Ping was managing the Bozhou Road, he discovered that the Arabian region was a bit too far for the Tang Dynasty's current level of transportation and communication.
It is too difficult to directly rule further Europe, so it is better to increase Datang's invisible control in these places to control it.
These Vikings will be one of them.
"In that case, Tang, I'm going to trouble you again!" Elder Leif finally made up his mind.
Tang is right, as long as there are some principles, the hurdle in the heart can be easily overcome.
Human nature is greedy. No one will be tempted to see such wealth that can be plundered at will, and the Vikings are no exception.
"Okay, Elder Leif, after overthrowing the Kingdom of Sevex, I will help you establish the most powerful pirate group!"
