Pirate Kingship

When the capital of Castile was in turmoil, Byron was still in the "First Circulation Belt" with his own troops to clean up the battlefield.

He had never expected that [Puppet King] Louis would be so decisive that he would go back to rebel without wasting even a second.

In fact, the peak battle between the two fake [Kings] lasted less than five minutes at most.

It's not like he can only last three minutes. How can he be so weak?

In addition to losing his body, his spirit is still strong.

Of course, the price he paid was also very heavy. From the past, he was not happy without women, but now he has become the second "incompetent". From then on, he didn't even have three minutes.

Byron didn't even know that when Enrique IV faced death, he abandoned the real world and his country and switched to a new track because of the flood information shared by the church.

Otherwise, no matter what the most noble king in the world had, and whether the "Noah's Ark" in the mouth of the traditional church was reliable, he would sneer at this [incompetent].

The real world is entering the "intertidal zone" and is about to usher in a catastrophe, and you, the king, just go with the flow and run away?

This choice may not be considered incompetent, but it is definitely cowardly and irresponsible.

Knowing that a catastrophe is coming, the first thing to do is not to conceal the news and pass the buck, but to find a way to control the water in advance and protect your hometown and subjects, right?

Of course, although Byron did not know that Castile had changed, he had already made preparations in advance.

As [Wild Hunt] and the new Black Sail Pirate King [Uncrowned King], he connected to another key role in the Kingdom of Castile through the membership number of the online financial street.

The smile and manners on his face were impeccable like those of a graceful prince, but the banditry of sowing discord in his words perfectly matched his current identity as a pirate leader:

"Your Highness, you just heard what Don Quixote said.

[Puppet King] Louis did something that was outrageous to make Juana, his illegitimate daughter with Queen Joana, ascend the throne.

Everyone in the royal families knows that your mother is the princess and only heir of the Kingdom of Avis, and your father, Juan II, promised to rank you after Enrique IV and before all the royal family members after obtaining the territory of the Kingdom of Avis.

If Princess Juana is really [incompetent] Daughter, this order of succession may need to be discussed.

But now they are clearly bullying you for being young, and they want to use an illegitimate daughter who has no right of succession to usurp your throne.

Not to mention, when your father, His Majesty Juan II, just passed away, [Incompetent] Enrique IV drove you and your mother into the monastery to fend for yourself, causing you to suffer since childhood.

If it were me, I would not be able to bear it.

At least they should be given a complete family, and this matter can be settled. "

The all-pervasive "Faust Contract" does not have to worry about the problem of no legal network. At this time, the person who appeared opposite the projection was Isabella, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Castile.

To date, relying on the activity of registering members to cut a knife, the coverage of the online financial street has long exceeded everyone's imagination, and this eldest princess is one of them.

Isabella used a black dress in the style of a church robe to cover 90% of her skin tightly, revealing only her face and a pair of hands.

Her skin and hair were clean, her clothes were not stained by dirt, and her eyes were particularly bright, making it impossible to tell whether she had only taken a bath once in her life.

According to the teachings of the Creator Church, the desire of the flesh is regarded as original sin, and the enjoyment of worldly things is regarded as pollution of the soul.

Bathing is also considered a kind of indulgence of the body, which may cause the believers' physical desires and depravity.

Therefore, the dirtier the body, the cleaner the soul.

Based on this, the church will canonize those who never take a bath in their lives.

So Isabella's full name can also be called: [Immortal] Saint Isabella!

This princess not only has an outstanding reputation in the church and the secular world, but she is also a fourth-level heroic [Coronation Priest] of the Temple Sequence.

She is also the highest-ranking religious leader in the Kingdom of Castile - Archbishop Burgos, wearing the [Bishop's Ring] on his hand. With the blessing of the Silver Law, he is one of the 98 cardinal archbishops of the church.

Although Isabella is very young, only 20 years old this year, she is steady and generous, and looks more like a qualified king than her brother [Incompetent] Enrique, who is almost 50 years old.

She folded her hands on her lower abdomen and bowed slightly to thank Byron:

"I didn't expect so many things to happen behind the treasure fleet.

Your Highness Byron, thank you for exposing the conspiracy of the puppet king and resolving the crisis of the king's power falling into someone else's hands.

You will gain my personal friendship, and I am willing to provide you with all my help when you restore your country in the future."

Of course, she understood Byron's true intention of tipping her off.

Essentially, it was to balance the power comparison between the two political enemies in the Kingdom of Castile and prevent the puppet king from getting his way easily, but what he did was ultimately beneficial to her.

It is hard to say whether they will be enemies or friends in the future, but now the two families can reach a limited cooperation.

Isabella knew that time was running out, so after thanking him, she immediately called her trusted attendants and whispered a series of orders in an orderly manner.

The faction headquarters centered on the Burgos Cathedral immediately took action, and the war atmosphere on the other side could be felt through the projection.

It seemed that they were planning to take the initiative before [Puppet King] Louis jumped off the wall.

After everything was arranged, Isabella glanced at the Castilians led by Jeanna Don Quixote behind Byron, and after a slight pause, she spoke again:

"Thank you for your "care" for Miss Don Quixote, the knights of the Poor Knights, and the Dibo brothers and sisters.

I will pay you the "hardship fee" through the account of the online financial street.

Can they leave?"

Well, this is called professionalism.

The basic skill of a qualified politician is to lie with open eyes, regard the "ransom" as hardship fee, but not mention the lost treasure fleet, so that everyone can save face.

Byron smiled and nodded:

"Anytime."

He didn't want to risk offending all the factions of the Kingdom of Castile, and even a kingdom guardian [Barcelona Shipping King], by leaving all these people behind.

He might as well do them a favor and let them go back and continue to fight the Puppet King.

He was their "lifesaver" and didn't have to worry about being retaliated in the future.

Before saying goodbye, Byron glanced at the back of the Knight Isaac of the Poor Knights, and suddenly pretended to be nonchalant and asked Isabella:

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to ask, what are you going to do with the loan from the Knights?

I have a large amount of idle funds recently. If the project has a good return rate, maybe I can invest in you.

I guess it's not for your wedding with His Majesty Fernando II of the Kingdom of Aragon, right?"

Since he discovered the other party's little secret, he was very curious about the specific purpose of this loan.

With the [First Stock] in hand, using the Castilian people's money to invest in a potential stock for the throne of Castile will never lose money.

If the other party can really sit on the throne, you will definitely make a lot of money by drawing the blind box of the Castilian treasury.

But Isabella shook her head:

"Thank you for your generosity, but my marriage with Fernando as a cardinal is already a special case. Everything is simple and there will be no extravagance.

This is an example for the devout believers in the two kingdoms of Castile and Aragon."

The church during this period theoretically prohibited clergy from getting married.

However, the ban has been tossed around for hundreds of years, and the desires of clergy have always been difficult to eliminate, and more clergy broke the precepts than kept the precepts.

A certain generation of popes slapped their heads and thought that in order to resolve the contradiction between the growing desires and the not-so-devout beliefs, marriage was not allowed, but keeping concubines and pedophilia were allowed.

Even a special tax for clergy was introduced: "concubine tax".

And in order to prevent tax evasion, every clergyman will collect it, regardless of whether you have a concubine or a pedophile.

This not only solves the problem but also expands the finances, and everyone is happy.

However, it also proves from the side that the true God [the bound creator] has not cast his eyes on the world, otherwise he would have slapped these "monsters" to death first.

Now, hundreds of years later, the decree prohibiting marriage is almost dead in name only, especially for those clergymen who have made great contributions and have been specially approved by the Pope.

This is the case with Saint Isabella.

At the end of the dark millennium, the power of the church is declining rapidly, and a great change that has not happened in a thousand years is about to come.

The Apostolic Basilica of St. Peter is also happy to see an extremely pious Temple Sequence Extraordinary person holding more power.

As for the real purpose of the loan, Isabella is obviously unwilling to say more.

Even if she is open-minded about the "treasure fleet being hijacked", she can still communicate with Byron calmly now, which is already a great character.

If she were the king, she would have definitely ordered a fleet to destroy the pirates.

In the end, she just forced a smile and said:

"My funds are still sufficient for the time being. If there is a financing demand, I will seriously consider applying for 'your' financial support."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head to look outside the church, her face slightly changed:

"A city guard has arrived? Did Enrique have an accident, or has Louis already taken action?"

Through the projection, Byron could not see what was happening, but he could hear the noise and screams getting closer and closer.

It is estimated that the [Puppet King] troops who wanted to steal the house ran into the eldest princess' troops who had assembled in advance and were also preparing to steal the house, and they started fighting without saying a word.

Obviously, Isabella had no time to chat with Byron, the pirate leader, and immediately hung up the communication.

But at the last moment, Byron heard the crisp sound of a flute and several high-pitched dragon roars!

The logbook and the synaesthesia of [God's Vision] allowed him to vaguely "see" the last scene on the opposite side with his own ears.

Isabella seemed to have an extra [Dragon Flute] handed down from the mythical era in her hand.

At this point, Byron finally figured out what the princess was secretly borrowing money for:

"Using money to bribe the ancient dragon spirits, using a [Dragon Flute] to build a giant dragon army, and guest-starring as the mother of dragons?

What a big deal, such a rich family!"

After being stunned for a moment, he had to admit that if this hidden Princess Isabella came to power, she might be more difficult to deal with than the Puppet King.

It is very likely to become a powerful opponent of the rise of the Kingdom of Hastings.

However, Byron's current role is just that of a troublemaker. After disrupting the situation, whether he wins through hard work or through hard work is not something he can control.

As long as you are strong enough, no matter who your final opponent is, you can defeat them with a clean sweep.

Looking back at the battlefield that was about to be cleaned up, there was no sign of the Avatar [Sea Hunter] and the Hetings Seventh Fleet.

The naval battle took far more than an hour, and the cool-down period for the large sea monster Fiddler Crab to launch "Deep Sea Jump" had long passed.

While the Dream Castle borrowed the sextant to escape, [Sea Hunter] "escaped" with his men and a small part of the treasure fleet.

[Wild Hunt], who had only been pretending to be King of Kings for five minutes, and the pirates under his command "couldn't catch up" and had no choice but to let them leave successfully.

The Seventh Fleet took away more than twenty treasure ships, and there are still more than eighty ships left. The exact value has not yet been calculated, but I guess it is an astronomical figure.

And money is only the most insignificant harvest.

After being unloaded, most of these large Galen in the Treasure Fleet will be sent to the shipyard of Torrential Fortress for deck trimming and reconstruction.

The superstructure and open-air deck were dismantled, re-outfitted, equipped with full heavy artillery, and the heavy galenic sailing ship that was difficult to operate was transformed into a flat-deck heavily armed cruiser.

It is much faster than building a new ship from scratch.

It shouldn't be long before they can get a fleet of heavily armed cruisers that can travel across the seven seas at will, and even get their own legion title!

In addition, [Sea Hunter] occupies the westernmost Yucatan Island among the Bantan Islands, and has a sacred golden empire with a population of tens of millions;

[Wild Hunt] occupies the easternmost Bahamas Islands. As the Pirate King and a direct line of Gulf pirates, he controls the most powerful pirate group on the sea.

It is equivalent to two powerful big hands, one on the left and one on the right, firmly controlling the throat of the sea between the Old Continent and the Southern Continent.

For the entire world, this throat is equivalent to Suez connecting Asia, Africa and Europe, Malacca in Asia, Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, and "everything is indispensable" for a certain big Eastern country.

You can imagine how important the meaning is.

Byron's eyes flashed:

“Even if we do nothing in the future, just relying on the heavily armored cruiser fleet to collect shipping fees will be enough to support a country’s population.

Moreover, the transformation of [Golden Deer] is just around the corner.

This holy relic battleship served as the main force, successfully plundered the treasure fleet, and defeated the [Ox City] of the old era, achieving the 'first impossibility' of its legendary promotion ceremony.

There are obvious signs of spiritual sprouting, and as long as he performs a similar feat again, he should be able to take that step completely.

What can a pirate ship steal that can be compared to robbing a country?

It’s almost time. Now our whole family has been promoted to the fourth level, and we can also be promoted to the fake [King] at the critical moment. As long as the fleet is in place, we will go back to steal the country immediately!

It is now October of 1472, and the time for counterattack will arrive before the end of next year at the latest. "

The power has taken a big step forward, and Byron's personal strength has not stopped at the fourth level.

[Secret: The Crisis of the Treasure Fleet, Historical Influence 28] After the decryption density reached 100%, a new entry was obtained [Everything is forgotten].

The effect is: "It can erase other people's titles along with other people's memories, making everyone think that it was you who did those amazing feats.

It is equivalent to being a title thief.

But the limitation is that the legendary level of the stolen objects is the same (the difference is within 10 points), and you can only equip one title at a time. After stealing someone else's title, it will automatically replace your original title. "

If you are just starting out, this is obviously a god-level skill that replaces your identity. If you see a big dog stealing the title, you will immediately become famous.

But to the current Byron, it is not even considered tasteless, it can only be regarded as poison.

His two main titles [Wild Hunt] and [Sea Hunter] have reached 30 points, and their abilities are extremely powerful.

Once you use [Forget It All], won't all the hard work for so long be in vain?

Even if you use the entry [Why not eat minced meat? ], transforming this “idle entry” into spirituality.

The spirituality of the three people before their breakthrough today, Catherine was 15, Byron and Violet were both 16.8.

After the three people broke through one after another, coupled with the blood recovery of this entry, they all reached a unified 17.2, taking a big step towards the fifth level.

At the same time, the legend of [Wild Hunt] has also successfully exceeded the 30-point mark as the pirates shouted "Pirate King" and "Uncrowned King".

The title ability [Wild Hunting Legion] has been strengthened again.

"The legendary Wild Hunt was never one person, but an army.

They were led by the King of the Wild Hunt, riding black horses, and appeared in groups.

Bringing storms, war and death wherever he goes! "

Ability 1. [Undead Attendant]:

“Every enemy killed by you and your followers will be deprived of their souls and become an [Undead Attendant], joining the Wild Hunt Legion led by you.

The stronger they are in life and the more fear you create in them, the stronger they will be after death.

While retaining all fighting instincts, you can become the best executor of your will.

Targets are not limited to humans, they can be grotesques, evil spirits, monsters, etc.

Quantity limit: None. "

Originally, the upper limit of the number of undead servants was 100, and they were required to kill the enemy by hand.

Now that the restrictions have been lifted, Byron feels that he can create a special independent army like the puppet king's toy soldiers.

And it is the kind that can be carried with you.

Ability 2, [Wild Hunt Servant]:

"You can choose whether to fully retain the self-awareness and extraordinary abilities of the undead servants and transform them into [Wild Hunt Servant].

The upper limit of the same level or higher is still four people, and the number is multiplied by three for each lower level."

Ability 1 is to be a soldier, and ability 2 is to be an officer at all levels, which is enough to pull out a real Wild Hunt Corps that makes people tremble.

The last one is also a new ability.

Ability 3, [King of the Wild Hunt]:

"You are the king of storms and undead, and will never be actively harmed by them again.

You can enter and exit the major dead kingdoms on the edge of the world as a living person.

You can transform into the [King of the Wild Hunt] at will, perfectly command your Wild Hunt Legion, and gain bonuses in spirituality, strength, speed, power, etc.

When three people of the same level are sacrificed as sacrifices, you can upgrade one level within three minutes."

[Lord of Heaven] already has the authority of the underworld, and it is obviously further strengthened at this time.

Byron feels that he should be qualified to go to Valhalla in Valhalla to get his mother Hathaway out.

In addition, the three minutes of the King of the Wild Hunt plus the five minutes of the Golden Law can almost be a true [King] for ten minutes, which is a cause for celebration.

"What a coincidence. We just finished the battle. Countless soldiers died in this sea.

The King of the Wild Hunt, summon me!"

Byron glanced at the sea full of floating corpses, turned around, and a huge blue flame column exploded.

The ghost horse grew a horn. Byron, who was riding on the horse, was wearing a black knight's heavy armor and a scarlet cloak. In particular, a helmet turned into a golden crown.

There was also a "Morning Star Necklace" on his neck that looked like a dried empty bean pod. It hit the black breastplate with the wind, making a strange sound of crackling.

It is said that this necklace was once inlaid with precious gems, but in the crazy pursuit of the [King of the Wild Hunt] across the sky, the gems had long fallen off and turned into stars in the sky.

Now it only symbolizes the wearer's identity as the ruler of the sky.

Byron clenched his right hand wearing an iron glove into a fist, raised it high above his head, and shouted:

"Resurrect, Wild Hunt Legion!"

Buzz——!

The blue light wave spread to the entire battlefield.

The bodies of countless Castilian soldiers in the sea suddenly twitched, and then a series of illusory figures were hooked out by invisible hooks.

Woo woo woo.

The biting cold wind mixed with white frost and fog whistled over the sea, and a few slightly blurred blue and white hideous undead crawled out of the water.

Many pirates in the fleet shuddered:

"Look, what is that?"

"It seems to be a Castilian. I killed the undead with a broken neck."

"Legend has it that [Wild Hunt] will turn the killed enemies into a part of itself. Is this the true power of the Black Sail Pirate King?

This should be the power of God, right?"

"."

Byron laughed at the countless increasingly fanatical eyes.

He picked up Violet, who also had little stars in her eyes, and held her in his arms, then jumped into the sea on his horse, galloping rapidly on the sea, and the [Undead Servant] behind him followed one by one.

The equipment and mounts of the real "Wild Hunt Legion" in history gradually emerged on his body, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a huge undead cavalry.

There were thousands of knights in the shadows, with buffalo horns and tattered feather crowns shaking on their helmets, and even paler skin under the gray masks.

The skeleton horse under his crotch was wrapped in ragged horse clothes, and the lightning-shaped blade in his hand split the black sky.

Da Da Da.

The hoof sound of the skeleton horse spread with the wind, and the ghost fire on the horse's hoof burned fiercely, following the [King of the Wild Hunt] and burning to the horizon.

Byron looked at the burning sea in front of him, and felt his heart broadened. He whispered to himself:

"From now on, offense and defense will change."
