Pirate Kingship

Woo woo woo.

The wind speed suitable for warships is usually between 10 and 40 knots.

If it is less than 10 knots, splashing water on the sails will not be able to stop the wind. If it exceeds 40 knots, it is level 8 wind, and all sails must be folded to find a safe haven.

At this time, the sea breeze from the northeast is getting stronger and stronger.

The level 6 wind that has exceeded 22 knots not only blows away the fog on the sea, but also rolls up large pieces of white foam on the sea surface.

The turbid waves are stacked up, forming countless undulating sea hills.

The warship rushed from the northeast with great momentum, like climbing a mountain, against the already terrible high sea conditions.

Byron's judgment was correct. It was a level 5 cruiser belonging to the Strait Fleet of the Kingdom of Hattings-[Severe].

On the stern of the ship, which is much taller than the pirate ship [Man-eating Shark].

A gentleman wearing a silver wig and a tortoise-shell buttoned suit put down his brass telescope and gave a cold order to the officer beside him:

"Sail with the tail wind and chase at full speed. Don't let any remnant of the Lancaster Party escape.

I specially asked a [Prophet] from the High Tower Sequence to perform astrological divination and determined a near-shore coordinate in the North Sea.

As long as we can arrive in time.

Neither the [Devil's Son] who offered a reward of 5,000 gold pounds nor the [Pelican] who tried to help the Lancaster Party transfer property can escape.

Anyone who dares to go against the White Rose York Family will not only have a place in the Kingdom of Hastings, but also in the entire ocean!"

On the rear mast beside them, a hand-painted wanted poster was nailed to the back mast.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Byron?

As the [Ship Log] said, in a world with extraordinary abilities, there is certainly no shortage of means to confirm life and death and track location.

The hunters of the Wilderness Sequence, the mediums of the Cemetery Sequence, and the prophet of the Tower Sequence are all experts in this field.

After the York family came to power, the news announced to the public was that the blood of Lancaster had been completely cut off in the storm.

No one in the world is qualified to threaten their inheritance and legitimacy.

This is understandable. Which victor doesn't want to dress up the little girl of history?

But under the table.

A few core members have seen the investigation report on the enemy Red Rose made by the hounds composed of extraordinary people of various sequences under their command.

Immediately began to hunt down Byron, the last Lancaster, in secret!

While issuing a high reward within the navy, he was also given a wanted criminal code name of [Son of the Devil], which sounds very evil.

They were afraid that this thorn in the eye and thorn in the flesh would not die quickly enough.

Of course, this could also be the result of Byron's title effect: "Enemy of York! Eternal pursuit, never to die!" being triggered.

Freedom is too far, York is too close!

Byron, who luckily saved his life from the pirates, is still far from being out of danger.

On the [Severe], Lieutenant Colonel Harold, who was unaware of Byron's true identity and importance, hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to persuade:

"But, Baron, the weather on the North Sea in late autumn is already very changeable.

In addition, the strange storm five days ago is still there.

The wind speed on the sea is still rising, and the wave height has already reached nearly 2 meters.

It is too dangerous to chase the enemy ship in such a high sea condition. Once the wind speed exceeds 40 knots, it will be too late to hide in the safe harbor."

With that cautious look, where is the majestic momentum of the captain who controls the life and death of a ship's soldiers?

But who can blame this Baron Adonis who gives orders on his own, from the newly ascended York family?

Even if he is just a branch of the family who was urgently enthroned to consolidate the family power.

That is also the only royal family in the Kingdom of Hastings recognized by the [Iron Law of Kingship·Magna Carta] after the Lancastrians were exterminated!

Hearing this.

Baron Adonis, wearing a wig, had a pair of blue eyes like Byron that turned slightly cold, and stared at Captain Harold for a long time.

Finally, very unexpectedly.

This York was not as brainless and eccentric as imagined by the playboy. Instead, he gradually put away the coldness on his face and smiled sincerely at Harold:

"Captain, I was too impatient.

Please believe that I respect your authority on the ship very much.

But what I want to say is that in the decisive battle five days ago, you and your level 5 ship were not allowed to participate in the fleet duel of battleships above level 4.

If you could have captured a few heads of the Lancaster party at that time, you would have accepted the knighthood of His Majesty in the capital by now.

Ask yourself, you have missed an opportunity once, do you want to miss it again?

I guess, as a second-level professional [Fortress Guard], you don’t want to retire on a mere level 5 cruiser, right?

And I promise you and every officer and soldier on the ship with the honor of the York family."

The baron's eyes swept over everyone who looked at him.

"During this mission, the royal family and I will not share any gold coin of spoils.

All the collections of a noble on the merchant ship and the 5,000 bounty for the wanted criminal will be given to the Severe.

I have only one request, to help me tear apart all the enemies of the York family before other pursuers arrive!"

But what he was thinking was:

‘This is the last Lancaster who can compete with the York family for the authority of the [Iron Law of Kingship].

As long as he is killed, my title can be upgraded by two levels, and I can even receive part of the territory of the Lancaster Party and become a great noble with real title!

Compared with power, what is a mere money? ’

Hearing Adonis' words, the captain and a group of officers who didn't know the inside story couldn't help but feel hot in their eyes, and even their breathing became heavier.

This is at least 5,000 gold pounds plus a whole ship of property.

You must know that in this era, the annual salary of a technical old sailor will never exceed 20 pounds, and the income of farmers will not even exceed 10 pounds!

And what the baron said is right, the fifth-level ships of various countries are generally the main force of privateering fleets and sabotage wars.

Looting enemy merchant ships and destroying enemy sea transportation lines are all old professions, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are official pirates.

It's just that this time they are responsible for intercepting their own merchant ships.

There is no need to venture into the offshore routes full of headhunters, wizards, sea monsters, diseases, evil spirits, and all kinds of weird things.

As long as you intercept the fleeing ships under the Lancaster Party, you may be promoted and become rich, and become the most wealthy man.

And that [Son of the Devil] is just a mortal.

After receiving the promise from Baron Adonis, there was no more noise in the entire warship, and everyone acted as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

At this time, the lookout stationed on the main mast soon sent a message:

"Report to the captain, the [Pelican] was found at two o'clock on the ship!

But it has already been attacked, is burning, and is about to sink.

Another pirate ship is fleeing quickly. Looking at the emblem of a shark-riding skull on the pirate flag, it should be the notorious [Man-eating Shark] in the North Sea.

The captain is [Blood Eye] Salman, who offers a reward of 4,300 pounds."

None of the officers cared about the sinking of the merchant ship Pelican.

Pirate ship? No!

They are just the porters of wealth.

As half of the navy, they knew very well that before the merchant ship [Pelican] was sunk, it must have been emptied of all valuables and people.

As for the difficulty of hunting, there is no essential difference between a small pirate ship and an armed merchant ship.

Lieutenant Colonel Harold estimated the distance and speed of both sides, drew the command knife at his waist, and shouted loudly:

"Soldiers, show your skills and show the bravery of [Severe] to His Excellency the Baron.

At the current distance and speed, we can catch up in about two hours, crush them for me!

For His Majesty King Jin!"

"Roar! For His Majesty the King——!"
