Pirate Kingship

Buzz—!

With this call for questioning, invisible pressure suddenly fell on the entire reception room.

Mallory Barton, the navy's chief quartermaster, immediately had veins popping out on his forehead. Even Major General Newman and Comptroller Ivan Derrick, both third-level officers, also had sweat on their foreheads, as if their shoulders were under tremendous pressure.

A majestic golden emblem appeared behind the Governor.

The crown, fence, shield and crossed bloody battle axes are the symbols of the kingdom's great prison.

Jefferson Newman's profession is a third-level [Warden] in the Inquisition sequence.

The core ability of the mid-sequence is: draw the ground as a prison.

You can designate any walled place as a prison under your jurisdiction. In this mystical "prison", you can enjoy all the privileges of the warden.

It greatly increases strength, speed, and endurance, and at the same time gives varying degrees of negative effects to the following "criminals".

[Force Field Shackles], [Mind Numbness], [Exhaustion Aura], [Confinement Obstacle].

The most shameless part is that attacking the [Warden] is equivalent to an extra level of crime. The more severe the attack, the more miserable the person will be suppressed.

They may even be directly hurt by the backlash from the law.

Some people claim to be invincible in the world while sitting down, and [Warden] is also such a special kind of player.

His fighting power is amazing in a place with walls, but once he reaches an open place, his strength will immediately become the lowest level of the third level.

At this time, there were walls around the living room.

The governor gave Byron a scolding on the spot for his poor performance.

‘Let me be tried by a military court? ’

Byron pretended to grit his teeth and hold on.

But in my heart, I felt that this guy in the concave posture was as funny as an actor without special effects. His majesty was not as cool as a gust of sea breeze.

It took a lot of effort to speed up the blood flow through "heart flow", which made me blush, as if I couldn't hold on any longer.

Seeing this, Major General Newman next to him finally put on a red face and began to persuade:

"Brother, calm down, I believe Byron also has his own reasons.

You can't stop people from talking. "

Jefferson finally vented a little of the depression he had accumulated during this period and took back his extraordinary abilities.

He turned around and sat back down, leaving Byron standing alone.

Still don't have a good face to show him.

The pressure from the earl party and the royal party was transmitted layer by layer. The Newman brothers could not bear it themselves, and naturally they continued to be transmitted downward to Byron, the "commander-in-chief of suppressing bandits."

The governor stared at him for another full half minute before continuing coldly:

"Half a month! Half a month has passed since you took office, and nothing has been achieved so far.

Where have you [Sea Hunter] gone with the majesty of killing Treasure Island?

Mr. Byron, tell me what you have been busy with recently? "

They had seen Byron obediently accept the thankless task of being the bandit commander, and they thought they had figured out his weakness.

He has a circle, channels for running for office, and knows the rules of aristocratic communication, but the other party has nothing.

Since Byron Tudor, like his brothers, is a person who yearns for progress, he has to be controlled by himself.

Moreover, Port Royal has the highest-level lighthouse in the Hattings Colony, which can usher in the arrival of the Kingdom’s own [Iron Law of Royal Power and Magna Carta].

Unless they encounter the Earl of Warwick who is holding the [Sword of Damocles] and crushes people to death, they have no power to resist.

When facing other people, the governor's authority can use the [Magna Carta] to greatly strengthen the power of one's own troops to suppress the enemy.

At least within Port Royal, they were not afraid that Byron, the new "big pirate", would rebel.

No matter how resounding the name of [Sea Hunter] is, when it comes to their territory, the dragon must be coiled and the tiger must lie down.

Besides, Jefferson didn't even have a son, so he naturally had less scruples about the rising star.

After hearing his words, Byron acted in a difficult way:

“Your Majesty the Governor, the intelligence agents of the Vanguard Colonial Trading Company have indeed found their hiding place.

It’s not that we are ineffective in suppressing bandits, but aren’t there recent blood disasters and coral diseases at sea?

I’d be afraid to venture into the sea at this time.”

Before he could finish speaking, he was immediately interrupted by the Governor waving his hand:

"I'm afraid what? They're all excuses!

Of course I know there is a bloody disaster at sea.

But we are the royal party who have done everything for His Majesty and have served loyally to death. How can our consciousness be so low?

Why not think about the fact that it was precisely because of the bloody disaster that the remnants of Lancaster were trapped on the island with nowhere to escape, so that they could be captured in one fell swoop?

I also received reliable information from multiple intelligence dealers.

The Lancastrians were hiding on the island of Gonave in the Iris, and they now simply did not dare to take to the water to escape.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Do you still want to sit back and let the opportunity slip away?

Wealth is gained through danger. Do you still want to be a commodore? "

Major General Newman, who was responsible for singing the red face, also helped:

"Byron, although what my brother said is a bit straightforward, the truth is indeed the truth.

I heard that your company’s internal slogan is:

If you want to succeed, you must go crazy first and rush forward at all costs; if you work hard once, you will be rich for three generations, and you must work hard not to fail.

I quite agree with that. "

Before Byron could react, Quartermaster Mallory Barton and Comptroller Ivan Derrick had already looked at each other, their eyes twinkling.

Being members of Newman's party like Byron, they also felt that the brothers' behavior was a bit ugly.

The eyes met, revealing dissatisfaction:

‘Ever since Byron came back from Treasure Island, the governor and the general have wanted to use him but are afraid of him, and have been digging holes for him.

When he was appointed commander-in-chief of bandit suppression, he could have chosen not to make it public.

After it is made public, it will only allow the remaining parties to target the international port and passively trigger a conflict between the two sides.

If it hadn't been for the bloody disaster that blocked the way, the International Port would have been attacked by the Lancastrians and beaten to a bloody head.

Now Byron is asked to risk being attacked by the Bloodscourge to hunt down the Lancastrians.

They were not the ones whose emotions were ruined by the king. ’

‘Yes, the May Wind is elusive. Although the Bantaan Islands are large, who knows where it will be hidden?

Others don't dare to go into the water, so he just wants to be the leader. Once he encounters the other party, he may be able to escape with luck, but his men will definitely suffer heavy losses. ’

I really can’t blame them for being dissatisfied.

Everyone is following you for profit.

If a big boss can't even produce "increments" and can only rely on depriving his subordinates of their "stock" to make up for the west, how can he make his subordinates believe that they can get something to eat by working with me?

Do you still want to make progress? I'm afraid you are not dreaming, there is everything in the dream.

The two of them had been watching indifferently before because it did not touch their interests.

But now we see that even the sea hunter who saved the general's life and was the most "loyal" to the Newman family has to cut off his flesh to feed the Newman family.

He immediately realized that he might not become the second or third sea hunter once the situation arises.

In particular, Comptroller Ivan Derrick, in addition to being the governor's aide-de-camp, was also the head of intelligence appointed by Edward IV.

‘I am more optimistic about this sea hunter who has climbed all the way from the bottom to now.

An organization can have many aristocratic children and connections who share the profit and contribution, but it cannot be without such elites who can fight hard and do dirty work.

He and Bill have been known to the kingdom for their loyalty since their debut, and their unreasonable loss is also a loss to the kingdom. ’

However, it is impossible for them to stand up for Byron.

Byron, who was standing there, seemed to be forced into a corner by the Newman brothers singing and singing, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed:

"Okay, for His Majesty the King, I will go.

The position of general does not matter. As a loyal minister, I hate traitors most in my life. Traitors must die!

However, I requested that some of Port Royal's personnel be mobilized to help. "

Although the words "traitor" sounded a bit harsh, the Newman brothers considered that Byron joined the group late and could not figure out who the real traitor was, so they decided to temporarily forgive him.

As long as he is willing to work hard, everything else is easy.

As for the lives of soldiers, they are consumables. If you sacrifice your life for the officer's merit book, you will die a worthy death.

A smile finally appeared on their faces, and they stepped forward and patted Byron on the shoulder:

"I will write a troop transfer order immediately.

When you return victorious, we will hold a banquet to celebrate your success. "

soon.

Byron mobilized troops from the military port overnight and mobilized all the privateers and several naval warships under his command to assist in the defense.

Only the loyal direct descendants of Major General Newman who spent a lot of money to cultivate were left.

At ten o'clock in the evening, they watched Byron's fleet embark on the journey and gradually disappear into the night.

Comptroller Ivan Derrick said worriedly:

“Your Majesty the Governor, you have sent out the main armed forces at sea, leaving Port Royal with a hollow defense.

If a foreign enemy invades, there may be trouble. "

Jefferson clenched his fist confidently, the Governor's seal ring on his finger shining brightly.

"It's okay, I'll bear the consequences.

Law is the foundation. The reason why we could easily drive away the Lancastrian party in Port Royal was because the local crown had changed hands.

Now His Majesty's royal power is stable, and the iron law of royal power guided by the lighthouse is no problem.

The family's private soldiers are enough.

No matter who dares to invade, I will make it impossible for them to come back! "

However.

Just a few hours after he said these words, the defenders were most sleepy in the early morning.

Suddenly there was a scream in the military port where Newman's private army was stationed, and someone shouted: "It's the Coral People! Coral disease broke out in the port!"
