Pirate Kingship

In the year 1473 of the Silver Age of the material world, a large-scale war that had lasted for several months quietly kicked off.

Although it was January in the snow, the war on the Old World was still in full swing.

Driven by the international humanitarian spirit of the Holy Golden Empire to fully support the brothers of the Old World even if it tightened its belt, a large number of swords, munitions, cotton clothes, military boots, and medicines were sent to the major countries and opposition forces at the center of the war.

The Protestant princes of the Holy Silver Empire have quietly joined together, and the secular electoral coalition formed together not only resisted the counterattack of the Habsburg dynasty, but also approached the imperial capital of Vinaya.

The three major bay civilian reinforcements scheduled by the Orthodox Church, Black Sail Port and Iron Anchor Bay, all refused to obey orders, and they had no way to deal with these two.

Only Margaret I, the [Queen of Eternal Night] of the three countries of the Kalmar Union, did not need the threat of hostages and sent troops to help at the first time.

Moreover, because the southern part of the three kingdoms of Kalmar bordered the Hanseatic League, a commercial alliance in the north of the empire, their support was extremely fast.

The war immediately spread beyond the empire, and the war between the countries around the new and old beliefs was about to break out.

At the same time, the throne war between the two queens in the Kingdom of Castile, the first sea power, also entered a white-hot stage.

On land, the endless puppet army of the regent [Puppet King] Louis had the upper hand, and the ferocious puppets that could not be killed by muskets had a great impact on morale.

Queen Isabella [The Unsullied] used the dragon flute to summon the dragon soul with the loan provided by the Poor Knights, so that she was not counterattacked to the base camp by the puppet army led by the [Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse].

The situation at sea was exactly the opposite of that on land.

Isabella got help from her husband and cousin, King Ferdinand II of Aragon, the overlord of the Eastern Sea, and suppressed the Puppet King in the sea.

However, it is not known whether it was because the [Puppet King] promised some benefits to the Star-Moon Empire, the sworn enemy, or because the Star-Moon Empire saw an opportunity.

Soon, it sent out its own navy to attack the fleets of Isabella and Fernando together with the Puppet King, and the four parties fought fiercely in the sea.

Needless to say, Hastings.

Although the large army could not be used in the ice and snow, the royal party and the earl party both sent out elite teams of extraordinary people to play infiltration operations, blowing up enemy fortifications, poisoning drinking water, assassinating important figures, and killing each other.

The number of casualties decreased, but the quality increased sharply.

The hatred between the two sides became deeper and deeper.

In addition to the fierce battle between the army, all countries ruled by the Orthodox Church began to clear out the Protestants in their own territories at the request of the church.

Some were slaughtered, some were captured to fill the line, and more fled with their families.

The influence of religion is deep-rooted, and its destructive power is unprecedented. Many countries have been hit by economic decline and people have been displaced.

However, there is a place that seems to be blessed by the gods, and it has risen instead of falling.

The export volume of the Holy Golden Empire has been rising, and now it can almost be equal to the whole year in a month.

Violet and Catherine have joined forces to copy the supply routines that are not compatible with the Hastings Royal Party and the Earl Party to other forces to maximize the benefits.

In exchange for a huge amount of gold, silver, and population, the original accumulation of capital is getting richer day by day.

Just as the motto of the Habsburg family says: "Let them all go to war, we are happy to make money and be happy."

This is not because we are mean, but all forced by the destiny of the "Industrial Revolution". Helpless, too helpless, tut tut.

If every country is considered a transcendent, the Holy Golden Empire is now laying the foundation for a breakthrough.

At this time, no one in the world is more qualified than them to start the first industrial revolution.

When the old continent comes to its senses after the war, it will definitely be a big meal.

At the same time, the southern continent, which has shown signs of chaos since the beginning of the year, has finally ushered in a big chaos with sparks flying everywhere.

The beginning of the new year.

A corner of the tropical rainforest in the north of the Beast Paradise.

A team of slave hunters with a very complex composition and whose origins are unknown are fleeing in the forest. In a panic, they dropped their muskets, ropes, and nets all over the ground.

Seeing a settlement belonging to the Remit people appear in the dense forest in front of them, they finally showed a trace of joy of surviving the disaster on their faces.

But the next moment, the smile was all frozen on their faces.

Just because an indifferent voice suddenly sounded from above their heads:

"Are all the slaves captured by your slave hunting team imprisoned here? It's really hard for you to lead the way."

Looking up, the white clouds above their heads rolled up, and an extremely huge and beautiful existence cast a large shadow on them.

Roar——!

A high-pitched dragon roar resounded through the sky, and a mithril dragon with scales like countless silver mirrors and a body full of silver light descended from the sky.

When beasts flee, they will subconsciously flee to the base camp that can bring them a sense of security, and humans are the same.

Before the slave-hunting team can run again, a mouthful of extremely hot [Breath Weapon] fell on their heads, instantly burning them to charcoal.

Byron, who grew another year older in the new year, rode on the dragon saddle that his sister had tailored for him.

Watching a large group of [Deathwing] from the rainforest and armed personnel from the Lighthouse Union rush into the settlement, rescue the miserable Lighthouse Sequence Transcendents from the Remit people's prison cells, and kill all the resistance in the settlement who dared to draw their swords.

Among the rescued people was the pirate captain Schindler and his crew who were captured years ago.

This is also thanks to the blockade of the North-South route by the Black Sail Pirates under the [Wild Hunt], so that they did not have time to be transported out, but they did not suffer any less.

Because their main purpose is to serve as a "lamp" to illuminate the Sea of ​​Monsters to find [Noah's Ark], and they do not need to fight.

In order to reduce the cost of guarding, the Remit people simply cut off the limbs, dug out the eyes and tongues of many of these Lighthouse Sequence Transcendents, and roughly healed the wounds with black magic to prevent them from infection and death.

They were locked in cages like maggots that could only wriggle, and were fed only slop to exhaust their last bit of strength, with no possibility of escape.

If they still tried to escape, there would be even more horrible punishments waiting for them.

Only the necessary organs for survival were retained, and the rest of their bodies were removed. They could only live in jars and bottles for the rest of their lives.

The bloodiness and viciousness of it were simply shocking.

"Damn it!"

"So vicious!"

All the Lighthouse Sequence Transcendents who witnessed this scene gnashed their teeth and couldn't help but beat all the Remit people in the settlement half to death.

The staff of the Lighthouse Federation recorded all this with a gloomy face using a photo stone. It should be published in the newspapers tomorrow at the latest, making their atrocities known to the world.

The Remit people distributed in various countries at this time mainly focused on the banking industry. They did not have the strength to control the media, let alone the mouthpiece of the Lighthouse Federation.

Even if you can get the "world's first newspaper" that is known as the first "paparazzi" in the material world, which can automatically write news reports and grasp every ripple in the ocean of human collective subconsciousness, it won't work.

Catherine got the artificial man "Venus in the Book" to take over. She finally had the opportunity to come to the southern continent with Byron and encountered such a tragedy. She couldn't help frowning:

"When I read the history books, I felt that the Remit people were constantly breaking the bottom of human beings. I think there is no group in the world that is more courageous than this group of people.

Aren't they afraid that after the matter is exposed, people will share the same hatred and drive them back to the sea from this land that was finally established?

Who would be willing to be their neighbor at that time?"

Previously, the senior officials of the Lighthouse Federation used the upgraded [Lighthouse Matrix] to explore the whereabouts of the missing, and they were busy for more than a month.

The powerful extraordinary abilities of many gold and yuan sequence professions among the Remit people made a group of senior officials of the Lighthouse Federation, led by the president [Fire Thief] Alexander, go around in circles and do a lot of useless work.

Pawnbroker's [hush money]: prevent information from leaking from the perspective of mysticism;

[money makes the world go round]: can buy off the natural spirits everywhere in the southern continent, and let them provide all kinds of false information to [medium].

Banker's [silver good servant]: the name comes from an economist's famous saying "money is a good servant and an evil master". After signing a contract with the employee, as long as you pay a small amount of silver coins regularly, the other party must act as a good servant, regardless of family, affection, love, and friendship, and give priority to meeting all your work requirements.

[gold evil master]: similar to the effect of silver good servant, but more domineering. By lending someone an excessive amount of gold, they force the other person to become a slave of money. He will have to struggle to repay the loan for the rest of his life, while most people cannot afford the interest for their entire lives, and will be slaves like zombies until they die.

There is also a zero-level holy relic [King Solomon's Key] left by the legendary king Solomon of the Remit people in the mythological era, which relies on super-high status to shield divination, and even borrows 72 projections of gods and demons to create various troubles for them.

Although the Lighthouse Federation is large enough, it also shoulders heavy responsibilities. The senior manpower is already stretched, and it is impossible to stay in the South Continent to accompany them.

In the end, there were fewer and fewer people, and others had to share the work of Delia's father [Spark] Rudolph, who was fully responsible for staying in the South Continent and presiding over the tracking.

Fortunately, the [Saint Byron Lens] tripled the power of the Farrows Lighthouse. After using a clumsy method to investigate bit by bit, the real behind-the-scenes manipulator was finally locked at the end of last year-the Remit "Golden Restoration Party".

They have a clear division of labor, and the capture of slaves in other directions is the responsibility of the bribed agents.

In the direction of the Barbary Pirate Kingdom, Saint Joseph, who wears the thirteenth [Holy Ring], personally leads the capture, and can even directly abduct all the Barbarians in a settlement at one time.

So, on the tenth day after the New Year, which is the Day of Atonement for the Remites, the Lighthouse Union organized people to launch a raid on the slave strongholds that have been caught.

Byron, the honorary vice president, was only responsible for a small part of it, and other large forces were attacking at the same time.

Hearing his sister's question, Byron sighed helplessly:

"The Remites are not like this for the first day.

Listen to the teachings of the Remit religion: even the best among the aliens should be killed, and the children of aliens are all animals.

What is a typical Remit?

If you have a piece of bread and give half to a hungry Remit, he will not thank you after taking the bread, but turn around and kneel down to thank his god.

After thanking his god, he will start to want the other half of the bread in your hand, and think about how to make you write an IOU for 100 pieces of bread.

If you dare not give it, when you turn around and leave, he will stab you with a knife, pick up the remaining half of the bread from your body, press your bloody handprint on the IOU, and ask your family to pay the debt.

This is the Remit. "

In fact, the three monotheistic religions with the same origin are not very inclusive. Only by being different from others can one swear the nobility of the Creator's chosen people.

The Remitian Church is the enemy of all non-Remitians with blood as the bond, and wants to turn everyone into slaves;

The Creator Church is the enemy of all heretics who are not my religion and race, and has launched countless massacres, judging people by their skin color first;

The Holy Spirit Church is the most open-minded, but it is also the enemy of all people who are not my religion.

"When I use the 'Royal State Religion' to go public through a backdoor listing in the future, and reintegrate the collective subconscious sea of ​​the human race in the Old Continent, this contradiction should be bridged, right? "

Byron was not sure whether his "seeking common ground while reserving differences" would work in the future.

But at least now, with his own ability, there is no problem in saving these injured Lighthouse Sequence Transcendents.

Those imprisoned in this base are only low-sequence Transcendents, and their bodies are all mortals, so it doesn't cost much to cure them.

Byron flicked his finger and shot a drop of [Panacea] that was as crystal clear as agate into the air.

It turned into a shower of raindrops filled with a strange fragrance, falling on the victims who were almost turned into human sticks.

They were damaged. The body began to recover quickly immediately. In just a few breaths, the organs, hands and feet that were removed all grew back.

The pirate captain Schindler, who failed to save people and sacrificed himself, saw that his lost hands and feet could be restored to their original state.

His gray eyes gradually regained some spirit, and then two lines of turbid hot tears flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably.

He crawled on the ground trembling, kissed the ground devoutly, and shouted from his chest with all his strength:

"Saint Byron! Messiah! I confess to you, I still imagined the Remit people too well!"

Then, an extremely thick chain of faith connected him and Byron together.

Byron turned his head to look at him and found that he had accidentally gained another fanatic.

Then, under the leadership of Schindler, many rescued Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinaries all knelt down and shouted:

"Saint Byron! Messiah!"

"Saint Byron! Messiah!"

Under normal circumstances, if believers of a monotheistic religion are saved, they generally will not thank the savior.

Instead, they will most likely thank the only god they believe in. The most famous example is "Thanksgiving Day".

But it is different for Saint Byron.

He is not only the savior of these victims, but also the "Holy Spirit" and "Savior" "explicitly stated" in the scriptures of the three religions!

The combination of the two identities made it easy for him to take away everyone's thoughts and wishes, and also made his missionary work take a solid first step.

This is the benefit of having the right to claim and orthodoxy.

You must know that only natural spirits can apply thoughts and wishes from the beginning of their birth, and humans are super Only when a mortal is promoted to a fourth-order mythical creature and steps into the divine realm, can he actively cultivate believers and collect mind and will.

The mind and will of human beings are countless tiny "variables" and the "anchoring" of mythical creatures in the material world.

Only when he reaches the fifth order can he extract his own immortal ladder and achieve immortality in one fell swoop with the help of these mind and will.

No one will complain that his believers are too few.

Today, Byron has finally expanded his group of believers beyond the Holy Golden Empire and gained a lot.

At the same time, a headache is also placed in front of him.

"It is better to wait until my two identities are combined and promoted to the fifth order before designing my three-part honorific name.

Although it will waste a lot of will, there is no other way.

If it is designed in advance, it may lead to insufficient directionality. If you are not careful, these two identities will really split into two people like the angel of the [Creator]. "

Then Byron contacted the president [Fire Thief] Alexander who was in charge of the overall situation through the lighthouse network and asked them to send all the victims to him.

He, Saint Byron, was kind-hearted and could not bear to see so many fellow Lighthouse members suffering, so he was willing to treat them for free.

"Sir Saint Byron, your kindness is shameful. "

Alexander, who was worried about how to deal with the aftermath, was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately ordered the action personnel to do so. Byron also received the gratitude of countless people in the Lighthouse Federation.

Let alone the issue of equity ratio, just based on his current prestige, when Alexander retires, there is a great chance that he will take the throne of president through formal procedures and inherit the title of "Fire Thief" of the Federation.

Just when the entire Federation's branch in the southern continent was busy.

Boom--!!!

Somewhere on the border between the Remit and the Barbary people, a bright white ball of light suddenly rose, and then exploded, sending countless plants, soil, and river water into the sky.

Then the thunder rolling in the clouds was heard, spreading for hundreds of kilometers.

Catherine immediately rushed up to the sky with Byron and looked in the direction of the explosion. They immediately found that this scene was the aftermath of a fight between two people.

One of them was Saint Joseph of Remit, and the other was the Barbary Pirate King [Ocean Throne].

Obviously, after the mastermind was exposed, the victim immediately retaliated. As a king, Barbarossa could not sit idly by and watch someone kill his own people.

Then, everyone near the battlefield clearly heard the pirate king's roar:

"Today! I, the pirate king of the Storm Ocean on the west coast, [Ocean Throne] Barbarossa Hayreddin, on behalf of the Barbary Pirate Kingdom, declare war on the Remit People's Gold Restoration Party!

You Remit people should not exist in this world.

You lost your land long ago.

The ancient Silver Empire took you in and even set up a Remit Province for the Remit people to live in groups, but you took advantage of the empty defense of the country during King Trajan's expedition to the east to launch a rebellion.

After defeating a few defenders, they began to slaughter civilians crazily, even stripping off their bodies. You made clothes out of the victims' skin, ate their flesh, and fed their bodies to wild beasts.

In Cyprus, Salamis, and Numidia, a total of 220,000 civilians were brutally massacred by you.

You were so obedient in front of the rulers, but you were so brutal in front of the civilians.

Fortunately, Trajan returned with two legions and immediately beat you beasts back to your original form.

The imperial legions killed along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea from the easternmost end to the westernmost end, and the Remitians living in this line were almost wiped out.

Later, you launched another rebellion, this time aiming the butcher knife at the Orthodox Christians, believing that they were not worthy of believing in your gods, and a large number of believers in the Creator .

But you met Hadrian, one of the wisest kings of the Silver Empire, who built the wonder of civilization among all nations [Northern Wall].

He learned the lesson of the Trajan period, completely abolished the Remit Province, and dispersed the entire Remit tribe. Since then, you have officially started the world of exile.

And later, Titus, who could no longer tolerate your repeated rebellions and launched a massacre in the Holy City, and later the Star-Moon Empire.

For more than a thousand years, you have suffered countless massacres and expulsions. Countless nations have sympathized with you and accepted you, but you have betrayed them every time.

Even so, you Always arrogantly think that you are a superior race, the chosen people of the Creator who are superior to others.

You never make any reflections on past lessons, and you always bring destruction, vilification, exclusion and hostility to other races.

I declare that such history ends here! What you can do, we can do too!

From today on, wherever the Barbary people go, you will all be sent away.

And we Barbary people are not as cruel as you Remit people.

Come on, turn down the wheel for me! "

With his order, the Barbary pirates who had prepared in advance rushed in from the border between the two countries like a tide.

"Kill!"

"Revenge for our relatives!"

The Remit people were once again wielded by someone, and anyone higher than the wheel was killed.

Not surprisingly, a considerable part of the arms in the hands of the Barbary pirates were also made by Rheinmetall.

After eating the Old Continent, Byron ate the South Continent.

Now, the only island in the known world that has not been involved in the war is the Bantaan Islands, which he ruled. Instead, it is still developing rapidly and has left everyone else behind by two positions.

If this continues for a few years, others will never catch up with him.

Later, after treating the wounded, Byron was about to take Catherine back to the base camp, but suddenly received a message from the mainland of Hastings, and his face suddenly brightened.

"Byron, what's wrong?"

Seeing the familiar smile on Byron's face, Catherine was sure that someone else would be unlucky soon.

As expected, Byron smiled grimly:

"Since we knew last year that Elizabeth Woodville and her brother wanted to marry you to embezzle our family's property, the revenge we have been preparing for has finally found its chance.

Just now Therese sent a message that Richard Woodville, the father of Queen Elizabeth, was ambushed by the Kingmaker in the battle.

He relied on a holy relic, Rupert's Tear, to block the fatal wound, but he was still seriously injured.

Now he is hiding in the forest of the northern Gelt Highlands, which is still covered with ice and snow.

She inferred that the old Woodville was heading towards Thornburg. He fled in the direction of the king's territory, probably preparing to ask for help from the [Devil Duke].

Now the Earl's party and the King's party are chasing the old man in the snowy forest.

This is not just a prisoner, but also an extremely rich political bargaining chip.

I remember that Edward IV had re-granted our family's Sorenburg and some of the affiliated manors to us in order to let the [Sea Hunter] attract the firepower of the [Wild Hunt].

Now we just need to do business well in other places. I think it's time for us to focus on the Kingdom of Hastings, starting from collecting the first interest this time! "
