Pirate Kingship

A quick bell rang in my ears.

[Golden Law] followed the order and descended on the Golden Deer. In just a few breaths, Byron's extraordinary rank was raised to the fifth rank.

Two dark blue horns with crystal texture grew on his forehead, and the exposed skin was covered with a layer of hard and fine dragon scales.

In an instant, he turned into a dragon man.

It was as if he had practiced the first bloodline original book "Dragon Crown" in the Bantaan Islands, and like the mithril dragon Catherine, he also reached the level of mythical creatures or even higher.

In fact, the pearl on the crown of black witchcraft [Bloodline Original Book] is essentially a racial transformation, and is inextricably linked to [Mother of Creation Lilith].

It is no problem for Byron to use his own Night Demon Prince status and secret spell [Blood Source River] to impersonate other mythical creatures.

As long as there is no flaw on the back when bathing in dragon blood like Siegfried, the famous dragon-slaying hero of the mythical era, the basic ability of the dragon man is infinite strength and invulnerability.

Especially the founder of the North Sea Empire a thousand years ago, the pirate emperor [Dragon Blood Bather], [Blue Dragon King] Reinhardt once bathed in blue dragon blood.

The Lancaster family already has blue dragon blood. In addition to powerful power, this form also symbolizes a certain destiny!

Then, Byron shouted in his heart: "Ming Shen descended!"

The same white light circle exploded above his head, easily controlling the surging power in his body.

Even the light circle itself changed its original smooth appearance, and evenly extended eight mountain-like protrusions upward, as if wearing a dazzling light crown.

A pair of huge wings behind the back, symbolizing the power of the storm, spread out and extended to the end of the sky.

"What is that?!!"

The extraordinary people watching on the nearby warships couldn't help but narrow their eyes collectively.

In their spiritual vision, a huge spiritual light that was no less powerful than that of [Puppet King] Louis suddenly descended on the battlefield.

Even the storm above their heads calmed down strangely in an instant.

It was as if the true king who ruled the sky had come to the world, and even the terrifying storm that wanted to vent its own power had to bow to him.

The next moment, [Puppet King] Louis swung the saber in his hand heavily.

Boom!

Suddenly there was a thunderous sound, and the sharp shock wave rushed straight into the sky, and a big hole was broken in the cumulonimbus clouds several kilometers high.

The golden sunlight formed a sky-high light column, like a spotlight on the stage, illuminating the two tall figures standing on the top of the main mast of the Dream Castle.

They were also the two protagonists of the final act of this puppet show.

Byron and the Puppet King fought with swords, tit for tat, and were evenly matched!

"King title? !!

Impossible? Your family has already lost the throne.

The Bay Pirate King [Whale Hunter] is still alive. Even if you become his son-in-law, you will never inherit the throne of Anchor Bay!"

Even though the puppet king, who had become inhuman, had a stiff face, the onlookers could still clearly see the shock in his glassy eyes.

This was also the biggest change that the "director" had encountered since the opening of this puppet show.

Byron just smiled at the puppet king and said his classic motto:

"Drop your own sweat, eat your own food, do your own things, and rely on heaven, earth, and ancestors. You are not a hero.

Rely on mountains and mountains will fall, rely on people and people will run away, and people still have to rely on themselves.

Thousands of years ago, the ancestor [Blue Dragon King] Reinhard was able to accomplish great things, why can't I do it a thousand years later?"

At this time, Byron was not lying.

After all, this [Golden Law] and the Holy Golden Empire were also taken by him personally.

Of course, it was by himself.

At the same time, his words fell into everyone's ears with the sea breeze.

Especially the Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trade Company and the Bay People Pirates of Black Sail Port, all of them seemed to have triggered the "factory settings" deep in their blood in an instant.

Each one was so excited that his face flushed and his blood was boiling.

Pulling out the sword and knocking on the shield, oak barrels, and the side of the ship, it made a special accompaniment that resounded throughout the sea, belonging to the Bay People Pirates.

They have been waiting for this moment for too long. The revival of the Bay People seems to be no longer an illusory prophecy, but is already at hand.

As for why [Wild Hunt] Byron Lancaster can suddenly burst out with the power of the fifth level?

Who cares, his uncle, grandfather, great grandfather and ancestors were kings for dozens of generations, and everyone is used to it. Maybe some people are born to be kings!

In the accompaniment of swords, I don't know who took the lead to sing:

"I am a strong shield, but also a spear;

We share the joys and sorrows, plundering the mortal enemy;

For the tribe, we work together;

We cross the storm and thunder;

Only glory accompanies us"

In the song "Valhalla's Call", the light crown on Byron's head looks more and more dazzling.

This is the people's support.

It is also one of the reasons why Byron chose to let the real body of [Wild Hunt] instead of the disguised identity of [Sea Hunter] to show himself in front of people.

Compared to Byron Lancaster, Byron Tudor's birth is the biggest disadvantage.

There has never been a precedent of commoners becoming kings in the Old World. Kings, princes and generals are born with a kind!

Even Byron Tudor, who has made great contributions, needs Catherine's help to enter the upper circle of the kingdom and be accepted by other nobles.

Even so, Edward IV has been using the traditional skills of the Hastings royal family to constantly dig pits and lay mines for him.

The Queen's family and the Devil Duke also regarded him as a fat sheep that could be chewed at will, and they all secretly planned to swallow up his property.

The Earl of Stromgarde is the pinnacle of "Byron Tudor"'s life. No matter how much merit he has made, he can hardly think of continuing to rise.

If it were another child of a large family with many in-laws, deep roots, and a long heritage, he would definitely not be treated like him.

Once the Sea Hunter shows the fifth-level combat power, what awaits him will not be support, but all kinds of open and secret arrows will follow.

Countless people will doubt whether this humble boy has been lucky and has some unusual treasures in his hands.

Although Byron is not afraid, it is not worth it to delay the development of the territory.

[Wild Hunt] Byron Lancaster is completely different.

He is naturally one of the upper circle, and can even be related to many royal families.

Everyone, including his enemies, would take it for granted that he could succeed.

After a brief period of decline, he would just return to the position that originally belonged to him.

It was easy to unite a large group of people and put the war against Hastings on the agenda.

It was just like saying "Bei is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan" when introducing oneself. "Starting with a bowl" was an absolute anomaly in history.

Although the descendants of famous families often have their efforts denied in disguise, this is human nature and reality, and Byron could not resist it.

Another advantage is that Edward IV could not do anything to him, the Lancaster, before he dealt with the rebellious [Kingmaker] Warwick and his brother George.

If he wanted to stabilize the situation, he had to continue to win over the [Sea Hunters], so that they could take the opportunity to develop with peace of mind for a while, which would definitely kill two birds with one stone.

"Shut up!"

The Puppet King roared angrily, and pushed Byron forward with his feet.

Amid the singing of tens of thousands of pirates, the stage he created seemed to have become Byron's home court. How could he not be angry?

Unfortunately, the "willpower of human thoughts" in this world is real.

If you shout: "Mountains, rivers, earth, and all living things, please give me strength", it is really possible to rub an alternative "spirit bomb" with your hands.

Although Byron has not reached that level yet, he has really gained group benefits by relying on the fake [King's Title] and the [Divine Mask] of the Bay People God King.

Clang——!

The long sword in his hand turned, and from the state of cornering, he used a "stealth crossing" move, from the bottom of the saber to the top, and stabbed the puppet king's forehead.

The cold sword light condensed into a line pointing directly to the "dead line", not to mention a mechanical head, even the hardest diamond head can still poke a hole.

The puppet king has the help of [Binding God], and his swordsmanship has long been extraordinary, and his control over the line and rope is unmatched.

The silk thread connected to the puppet's body suddenly tightened, and his upper body instantly leaned back as if it collapsed. At the same time, he raised his foot, and his right leg shot up like a gunpowder explosion, kicking Byron's chin fiercely.

The mechanically modified foot ejected an iron claw. If it was kicked, it would not only be a problem of shattering the chin, but the whole head would be scratched by a claw.

Byron's head also instantly leaned back as if he had no bones, exerting the control of his body that could be "big or small, short or long, soft or hard, soft or hard" to the extreme.

The long sword in his hand changed from stabbing to slashing, and with the puppet king's own power, he slashed a line of sparks on his legs.

The instantaneous confrontation was back and forth, and no one could cause serious damage to the other.

Swoosh——!

The two people's eyes collided and flashed with lightning, and their figures flashed and disappeared at the same time, and the rain curtain was pierced, forming two long white cavities.

If they hadn't been able to catch two white tails running along the 90-degree mast, the mortal soldiers wouldn't have been able to see them at all.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Above the deck, the roar of iron hammering was endless, sparks flashed, and the upper block buildings of the Dream Castle along the way were like being run over by two giant beasts.

The sword flashed continuously, and the sails, masts, and aerial corridors were cut off and fell one by one, and were instantly blown away by the gas explosion ring caused by the two people running at high speed.

But in this evenly matched battle, Byron gradually became a little anxious.

"【United as One】is not a true core king after all. Just like you only have three chances to customize the law, there are certain limits to upgrading the job rank.

You can only last for five minutes at most before you are beaten back to your original form.

And even in the International Port or Tayapan, it can't last much longer.

The birth time of the 【Golden Law】is too short, and it still lacks foundation."

The reason why the iron law of the kingship of various countries can allow the 【King's Title】to be passed down in an orderly manner is that the founding monarchs used a huge interest group and at least several decades to consolidate the orthodoxy of the dynasty.

It also guarantees the legitimate "claim right" of future generations.

Although Byron took over Yucatan Island, he began to unify the writing, language, system, and weights and measures, and combined the two empires of Azik and Taya and many small city-states and tribes into a sacred golden empire with a population of 13 million.

He also used the "Magic Banquet Council" to create his own core team, and with their help, he extended his tentacles to all aspects of the empire.

But the time of this indigenous empire is too short.

From the birth of the Azik Empire's [Golden Code], it only took a year to achieve full success, and the de facto unification only took a few months.

It can only be maintained by the prestige of Byron himself as the "Lord of Heaven" and the achievements of the "Father of Medicine".

Once something unexpected happens to him, the Golden Empire will most likely fall apart on the spot and turn into a bloody chaos where city-states attack each other and sacrifice each other.

Only when the law can be used to govern people, instead of relying on him for everything, can the [Golden Law] be considered to have completely laid down the foundation of an eternal system.

"Since time is limited, let's make a quick decision!"

Just when Byron made up his mind to reveal another trump card, he realized that the Puppet King was more anxious than him.

The core battlefield was placed on the [Dream Castle]. If this quasi-legendary battleship was dismantled, the Puppet King's royal domain "Puppet Kingdom" would also be destroyed on the spot.

He forced Byron back with a knife and stamped his feet suddenly.

Buzz—!

The aperture representing the God of Self on the top of the head is also slightly raised, forming the shape of a crown, scattering endless illusory threads into the void.

In addition to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Puppet King has also collected countless puppets and potential puppets in his princely territory, in the mainland countries, in the colonies, in many private ports in the Broken Islands, and in the southern continent.

Everyone is equivalent to a subject in his "puppet kingdom", and each puppet thread is equivalent to an anchor chain.

Together they form a network of laws that belongs to him.

The law by which the Puppet King rules this "Puppet Kingdom" is simpler than the "Three Chapters of the Covenant". There is only one law - I am the only one who is supreme, and my will is the law!

The punishment is unpredictable, and the power is unpredictable. He is undoubtedly a typical tyrant.

Then, each thread took a big mouthful of its "subject" like a straw, almost more like a vampire than a vampire.

Forcibly collecting a trace of spirituality from every puppet citizen, his power was immediately greatly strengthened.

This is the special effect of the title of [Puppet King]: [Spiritual Tax].

He can levy taxes on all puppet citizens under his control, including physical, spiritual, extraordinary abilities, etc. There is no upper limit on the tax system, and the maximum tax can be 100%.

They are not much different from those evil gods who treat their believers as blood food.

At the same time, Byron also revealed his second trump card.

"Miss!"

"elder sister!"

"Understand"*2

For the first time in battle, the exclusive ability of "One King and Two Queens" was activated [Golden Triangle]:

“Not only spirituality but also life force can flow freely in the Golden Triangle.

Even the souls of the 'one king and two queens' can be transferred instantly through the [Golden Triangle], using the bodies of the other two to exert their own abilities, completely integrating the powers of the three. "

As Byron's blue eyes each lit up with a golden triangle.

Catherine and Violet only left their respective astral bodies in the physical body, and continued to destroy the Dream Castle with [Sea Hunter].

The souls are all concentrated in Byron's body, each occupying a corner of the triangle.

In this world, theoretically, three crowns can reach a sixth-level crown, and three fourth-level crowns can reach a fifth-level crown.

At the same time, all things are born in three places, and they will change every seven days.

With the extremely stable [Golden Triangle] as the core, a more powerful seven-layer legal network has also arrived.

The Holy Golden Empire has a population of 13 million, and the total number of citizens in the Kingdom of Castile is less than 10 million, let alone Louis' puppet kingdom.

There is no need to force taxes, and the concentrated power is stronger than him.

Not only has the gap between the two not been widened, but Byron has taken the stance of turning against the visitors.

But there was no abnormality on his face, and he still maintained the original fighting rhythm, quietly waiting for an opportunity to kill the Puppet King with one blow.

Just when the [Sea Hunter] riding on the back of the mithril dragon threw the sure-hit spear [Gangnir], it penetrated several decks and opened a big hole in the bottom of the ship.

The Puppet King's stiff cheeks jumped hard.

"Damn it! My quasi-legendary battleship!"

Then the silk threads on the top of his head began to divide quietly, and in the fierce battle, they stuck to Byron's body one by one from the most secret angle.

One, two, three.

When I got to the tenth stick, I drank instantly:

"Flesh and blood are useless! Die!"

But he instantly activated his strongest thaumaturgy to turn Byron into a puppet.

Even if his resistance is strong enough, semi-puppetization is enough to significantly weaken his strength and adaptability, and he will be defeated on the spot after three or two moves.

Byron's response to the Puppet King was a plain: "I don't eat beef."

This entry is specifically about the taboos of weird evil spirits, or the control and rule-based abilities of other extraordinary beings.

To a certain extent, breaking the rules set by oneself or others depends on one's extraordinary class, and can be weakened by one level at most.

In these five minutes of the same fifth level, including the killing rules and all control abilities of the "Puppet Kingdom", they could not have the slightest effect on him.

Not only that, just when the Puppet King missed a move and was stunned, Byron activated the [Surgical Operating Table] and transplanted all the silk threads on his body.

It's not like it was just transplanted into fish.

Instead, it was transplanted together with the effect of [Flesh and Blood is Useless] to that [Golden Big Ghost Card]!

[Golden Big Ghost Card] is essentially a hair of the supreme existence of the Hall Sequence - the Level 0 Curse Spirit [Playful Clown].

Because this curse spirit is too powerful, the Night Watcher has to use extraordinary means to seal Him.

Even every clown who brings happiness to the audience is a dam used to seal [Playful Clown].

Although other Hall Sequence Transcendents with extremely high inspiration are slightly better, they are like mice seeing a cat when they encounter it, and are naturally restrained.

Under Byron's exquisite "surgical" operation, the puppet silk thread instantly spliced ​​with the colorful hair extending from the card.

Before the puppet king, who saw the bad situation, let go of the silk thread, his body suddenly stiffened.

The originally invisible silk thread was dyed with seven colors.

The lines of oil paint faintly appeared on the wooden face, forming a clown's face, making him understand that the clown was actually himself!

Of course, even if this hair came from a super-standard existence, it could not kill a senior fifth-level legend anyway.

Even the one who polluted [Bone-eating Clown] Koraskin took the time to write a page of his diary.

Byron didn't have that extravagant hope. As long as the Big Joker could restrain the Puppet King for three to five seconds, it would be enough.

Beep——!

[Storm Horn] was blown by him again.

The eight battery brothers came down with a "boom", and with the full support of the "one king and two queens", their bodies also expanded a lot.

They each grabbed a part of the limbs of the Puppet King Louis, arms, thighs, and head, and then began to rotate at high speed.

The "crackling" white current made the fourth-level heroes who were fighting nearby dare not approach and dodge.

"Open!!!"

As the repulsive force between the same electrodes increased to the limit, the eight storm giants suddenly separated, and the puppet limbs they were holding in their hands were also cut into pieces.

"Hiss——!"

The pirates who witnessed this scene all gasped.

The [Puppet King] who was so powerful and invincible in their eyes just now actually died on the spot?

When he looked at Byron again, there was only endless enthusiasm in his eyes.

But Byron himself knew that the matter was not over yet.

After releasing the [Golden Triangle], Catherine and Violet returned to their own bodies.

Violet immediately released the mythical form and activated the [Sun Amulet] that she had chosen from Atahualpa of the Sun Empire, greatly improving her luck.

She took out a revolver and pulled the trigger against her head.

Click! Click! Click! .

After five consecutive shots, she failed to get a headshot, and immediately used the [Death Wheel Gambling] to get a 32-fold attack bonus for the next shot!

At this moment, Byron's premonition came true.

The broken limbs of the puppet king kept twisting after falling to the ground, just like [Pinocchio] at the beginning, and had to be pulled together again under the pull of the silk thread.

Violet did not dare to delay any longer.

She immediately flew into the air to the side of the [Killing Machine], released its combination mode, and reached out to grab the first bolt-action rifle in her hand.

Aiming at the head of the puppet king, he whispered: "My lord, the times have changed."

Effect: Whether the opponent is an elemental creature, an evil spirit, a grotesque or other extraordinary creature, this rifle will cause real physical damage with one shot.

With the exponentially increasing power of [Death Roulette], it is absolutely no problem to kill a fifth-level legend unexpectedly.

Violet is now the undisputed number one in attack power among the three people in the family.

Bang!

The gun flame flashed, and a line of white light shot out, completely illuminating the entire sea area.

Under the murderous intent of death, the puppet king who temporarily resisted the pollution of the golden big ghost card and restored his body control had no time to reassemble his body.

One leg jumped up on the spot under the pull of the silk thread, and shot a powerful volley towards his head.

The next moment.

The hull of the Dream Castle silently added a two-meter radius through-hole, extending from the deck to the bottom of the ship.

Everything along the way was vaporized on the spot.

A huge amount of seawater poured into the cabin, and the ship lost the need to be rescued.

[Kingdom·Puppet Kingdom] was instantly destroyed, and the "Puppet Theater" that was gradually shrinking also disappeared.

The crisis of everyone being transformed into puppets was completely resolved.

The puppet king, whose body had been annihilated by Violet's shot, finally had only a lonely head flying like a ball.

He was caught in the arms of a figure who jumped out of the cabin.

It was his sister-in-law and lover Queen Joana.

"Louis, how are you!"

"You won't die, run!"

Joana was also a fourth-level extraordinary person. She reacted quickly enough. Knowing that the situation was urgent, she threw out the [Latitude and Longitude Sextant] again without hesitation.

A golden light wave instantly enveloped the entire Dream Castle, and everyone on it began to become illusory at a rapid speed.

"Oh no, get off the ship quickly. If the ship is teleported to a distant place where we can't get back for three months, we're all doomed."

A group of Castilians who knew the details of the sextant best screamed and turned around and ran away.

When Byron saw Queen Joana, the biological mother of Princess Juana, he finally completed the last piece of the secret puzzle.

[Secret: Crisis of the Treasure Fleet, Historical Influence 28] The unlocking density instantly increased to 100%.

After hesitating for a second, he still did not shoot the [Lionheart Broken Arrow] in his hand, which could kill the enemy with low health.

"The more chaotic the Kingdom of Castile is, the better.

Now that the true face of [Puppet King] Louis has been exposed, there is no way out. The only way is to return to the kingdom immediately to rebel and force his daughter to the throne.

A war for the throne with Juana and Isabella as the heirs is imminent.

If he is killed here, there will be no benefit except to help [Incompetent] and Princess Isabella clear the obstacles."

Thinking of this, he launched the last power of the Fake King to create a gust of wind, and evacuated all the troops of his side from the Dream Castle together.

Just after returning to their respective warships.

The shabby warship that was about to sink disappeared on the sea in an instant.

At this moment, hundreds of treasure ships filled with gold, silver and treasures fell into Byron's hands.

They finally accomplished a feat that no one had accomplished in nearly seventy years - plundering a large fleet of treasures!

Everyone was like in a dream, and couldn't believe that this was true, and it was done under the obstruction of a fifth-level legend.

"We won?"

"Not only did we survive, but the money is also ours?!"

Looking at [Wild Hunt] Byron, who led them to achieve this great feat under the golden light column, [Thief Baron] Valeran, who was also a Bay Citizen, suddenly shouted loudly:

"Lancaster! Pirate King! Pirate King!"

Although Byron didn't seem to be a real fifth-level, and didn't have his own king title, since he could kill [Puppet King] Louis, the title of Pirate King was well deserved.

The other pirates were only half a beat slower, and they all raised their arms and shouted:

"Black Sail Pirate King, the Uncrowned King!"

"Uncrowned King!"

"Uncrowned King!"

Huge cheers resounded through the sky.

Until this moment, Byron's declaration that "the king of the sea cruises here, those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish" has finally become a reality.

And this is far from the end, but the beginning of a new era!
