Pirate Kingship

Looking at the group of people in front of him, especially the reactions of the Protestant representatives, Byron nodded silently in his heart.

The exposure of "one king and two queens" was not due to carelessness, but was intentional from the beginning.

Even if the entry [My rules are rules] did not appear, he would take the opportunity of today's coronation to disclose the identities of his two queens.

In the past, the reason why Byron felt that this matter could not be made public in a short period of time was because once the rules set by the church were challenged, it would definitely usher in the iron fist of sanctions (Chapter 429).

And this "short period of time" refers to the time when the church can always maintain its peak ruling power.

Looking back to the heyday of the church, a papal bull overwhelmed the countries of the entire Old World:

"All monarchs should kiss the pope's feet"; "The pope has the right to depose the emperor"; "The pope has the right to release the people from their oath of allegiance to evil rulers"; "The pope alone has the power to appoint and dismiss bishops"; "The pope alone has the power to make new laws".

There are even a series of more outrageous decrees: "The church has never made a mistake and will never make a mistake"; "Anyone who is not in harmony with the church shall not be considered a believer"; "The pope can order his subjects to accuse their rulers".

Each decree is digging graves for the rulers of various countries, and even stepping on their faces into the mud one by one before they die.

It is even worse than the Magna Carta, which specifically restricts royal power, but no monarch dares to resist theocracy.

After the "Canossa Humiliation" suffered by Henry IV, the emperor of the Holy Silver Empire, the owner of the [Crown], theocracy reached its peak.

If Byron was born in that era, he would not dare to have any bad thoughts about the church, and he would not have thought of "one king and two queens" until his death.

At most, one of his two sisters would be the queen in the old world and the other would be the queen in the colonies.

But even if they had foreseen that religious reform was inevitable, who could have thought that the church's hegemony would collapse so quickly?

A religious war equivalent to a large-scale civil war was launched at any time, and the high-order clergymen stabbed him with two knives.

The combat power that suppressed the whole world was reduced to this state in the blink of an eye.

In addition, now that the times have changed, Byron has already added new titles:

"The son of the prophecy of the revival of the Bay people; the lawless maniac who killed two cardinals; the potential competitor for the position of captain of the church; the first regional power that dared to destroy the church and confiscate the church's property"

Which of these deeds is not a thorn in the eyes of the traditionalists in the church?

A heresy that destroyed the sacred marriage system is just a small matter.

They had already been stabbed twice, so it wouldn't hurt to throw another big shove.

Moreover, the two ravens had already seized relevant intelligence when they were monitoring their next primary target to seize the crown: the Kalmar Union.

The crown prince appointed by the [Queen of Eternal Night], [Bearman] Ulysses, was preparing to attack Hastings on behalf of the Orthodox Church.

Anyway, their faces were already torn, so what else could they do with this little thing?

"So, compared to the attitude of the church, the mood of the two sisters is more important.

As a responsible good man, not only should we 'share the rain and dew equally', but we should also share the rain and dew equally.

As an offshore country with unique advantages, coupled with the commerce-breaking fleet and the [Legendary Battleship Golden Deer] that are in second place and only need to compete with the 'Invincible Fleet' to determine the ranking.

If you have the guts, come to the sea and bite me.

Some people fight for the first place in the world while standing, some people fight for the first place while sitting, some people are invincible in land battles, and some people dominate in naval battles.

Now, I, Saint Byron, am the sky of this North Sea!"

At this time, the congregants in the auditorium also recovered from their shock one after another.

As Byron expected, except for a few people who looked unhappy, most people looked at the three shining crowns, and their first reaction was not to think that they were heretics, but:

"Miracle! Another miracle!"

If the [Storm King] can arbitrarily control the weather with an edict, then the two queen crowns now are completely beyond the ability of humans.

Only when the gap is small will people be jealous, and when the gap becomes a chasm, there is only admiration.

Moreover, the one whose ruling power is being challenged is the church that has been bleeding for a long time, not them, and these citizens of Hastings are completely indifferent.

Or as a community of interests of Byron, they feel honored.

Especially represented by [Holy Hammer] Oliver, they can't help but feel excited.

"Creator! Is this really the miracle of one king and two queens that you use to show your great power that you are always with us?

The core power of 'heaven' in the [Silver Law] belongs exclusively to the Almighty Lord.

No one else in this world can modify the law except our Lord, but Saint Byron did it.

This shows that it is worth every believer to think deeply.

The current anti-Catholic Church urgently needs a banner to compete with the Orthodox Church, and we must unite all fellow believers who are willing to tide over the difficulties with us and reverse the selfish escape plan of the Orthodox Church.

Perhaps it is time for us to take the lead in recognizing Saint Byron as the Messiah, giving him the status he deserves, and providing certain support to the Kingdom of Hastings.

We Protestants do not have too much desire for power. As long as we can survive the future flood, it doesn't matter who becomes the captain."

The more important point in the subtext is.

Even though the Paladins are said to be invincible at the same level, not all of the five Protestant saints are Paladins. Five against seven still has a huge disadvantage.

Not to mention a pope with the papal triple crown.

Many people in the church are inevitably pessimistic, feeling that their ideals may not be realized.

Byron's miracle at this time was equivalent to giving them a shot in the arm.

[Holy Hammer] Oliver and a group of Protestant representatives looked at Byron and the two queens with fiery eyes.

However, the scene was not completely noise-free.

"Blasphemy, Your Majesty, you are blaspheming against God, the church and marriage!"

Unexpectedly, the person who jumped out was not a foreign envoy, but a neutral nobleman who had followed the Marquis of Neville and defected to Byron in advance and had survived without being purged.

Human nature is complex, and it is impossible to just label it as a good guy, a bad guy, an ally, or an enemy and everything will be fine.

Just like the indignant Earl of Nottingham, in addition to being a member of the Neutrals, he was also a devout Orthodox Christian.

He is in a similar situation to [Queen of Eternal Night]. These converts care more about the interests of the church than the Orthodox Church itself, and fully support the church from spirit to action.

In order to prove their piety, in history, all the family property was donated in addition to the tithe, which led to the decline of the family fortune and the whole family starved to death.

They have completely different perceptions from other people about the same thing because of their different standpoints.

For the sake of faith, the pros and cons have become secondary matters.

When Byron was crowning himself, he wanted to stop him, but was held down by the leader of the neutral faction, Thomas Neville, Marquis Neville, who was also his brother-in-law. This time he finally couldn't help but jumped out.

Moreover, in the minds of people like them, safeguarding the church is the most just cause, and even martyrdom is a worthy death.

This superstition that even eight cows can't be pulled back is the most difficult to deal with. If it cannot be properly resolved, most of Byron's new character will collapse.

Moreover, his identity is sensitive and he cannot be simply killed due to his family ties.

The Earl of Nottingham continued to question Byron:

“The Gospel of Creation says: ‘This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; you can call her woman, because she was taken from man.

Therefore a man will leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. ’

May I ask, Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the words "couple and three persons" appearing in any of the scriptures that stipulate how mortals should live? "

Hearing his accusation, Catherine and Violet, including their cousin Edward and his wife who were watching the ceremony, couldn't help but frown.

Especially [Headless Horseman] Anne Neville, she almost lost her head because of this unruly uncle.

He was about to step forward and drag him away, but was stopped by Byron.

The color on his face did not change, but he felt relieved because a "chicken" finally jumped out today.

His eyes fell on the Earl of Nottingham and he chuckled:

“Count, you yourself said that the Gospel of Creation is the Creator’s instructions for mortals on how to live.

So what do these admonitions have to do with me?

Isn’t the Trinity the very essence of the Creator’s power? "

These words made the Earl of Nottingham, who was originally full of righteousness and awe-inspiring expression, stunned.

When he heard the other party's rhetorical question of "Who in the hall is suing me?", he suddenly realized that the person in front of him who seemed to be a god was actually a god?

Byron looked up at the high sky and the thing that breathed with him in the dark.

He has always walked on three legs, and there are three promotion routes in the future:

"The most important [Storm King] needs to play another "Pirate Kingship", and then continue to collect crowns to condense them into a [Crown] exclusive for the people of the Bay;

[Dark Demon King] has a common promotion route for fifth-level gods. The wider the diocese, the more believers, and the richer the wishes, the stronger the strength. Eventually, you can build your own kingdom on earth and become a demigod;

Those whose spiritual realm is above [divine vision] and [calling the gods to descend into the sage] are the ‘unification of all things’ that belongs exclusively to the gods. "

“Now that we have captured the kingdom as expected, the next three routes must go hand in hand.

Raising the flag of faith gradually eats away at the base of belief in the Creator.

This is the reason why I chose to break through [False God] first! "

At this moment, in the Book of Ten Thousand Books, the Book of Ten Thousand Scriptures, the forbidden book "The Gospel of the Kingdom" that contains all the knowledge of the [Old Gods] in the mythical age.

The [Creator], which is constantly breaking apart and separating the divinities of the gods, has already split into an angel that is highly homogeneous with Byron.

It was exactly the same as the Death Angel Azrael, Blood Angel Lamia, Power Angel Asia, etc. that he had seen with his own eyes.

"I won't pretend anymore. Let me give you a little shock from heaven."

With a thought, the ability: [Golden Triangle] is activated, and with the help of the power of the two queens, it forms the cornerstone of its own stability.

A brilliant golden triangle rose behind the three people, and the concepts of stability, immortality, eternity and substance instantly filled the hall.

Byron adjusted his breathing, resonated with the unconscious angel in the dark, and attracted a trace of his breath.

Wow.

A strong wind blew throughout Canterbury Cathedral, and everyone within the area felt anxious, as if they were suddenly pressed against a large stone.

Immediately, it seemed as if a distant bell from heaven sounded from the bottom of everyone's heart.

A white light in the middle of the golden triangle lit up, and then quickly unfolded like a bud, revealing a great, divine figure.

Immediately, including Byron himself, at this moment, he finally saw clearly what the new angel that split from the body of the Creator looked like.

Countless wind-like wings are layered on top of each other, rising and dying.

The congregation wanted to count the total number of wings, but they all couldn't help but feel dizzy, and every groove in their brains felt like a strong wind was roaring desperately.

It seems that the souls of those who witness it will gradually melt into the wind and become one with the whole world.

A few mid-sequence extraordinary beings who were anchored more firmly tried to open their eyes wide, but they could only see a black-haired boy exuding soft holy light among the countless layers of wings, with a golden halo shining brightly above his head.

It's just that this angel's body is obviously covered with storm wings representing freedom, but his body is tightly locked by a heavy chain.

It seems that he has absolute freedom, but he cannot move a step at all.

This strong symbolism that goes straight to the root causes many people to subconsciously blurt out: "The Bound Creator!"

As soon as the thought came out, a hymn from heaven suddenly sounded in everyone's ears:

“Holy, holy! Almighty God!

In the early morning, my songs pass through the clouds and reach the holy land;

Holy, Holy! Compassion and omnipotence,

Glory and majesty, all in one;

Holy, Holy! All the saints revere him,

Wearing a golden crown, surrounding the shores of the crystal sea;

Millions of heavenly troops prostrated themselves and chanted the Lord’s name with one voice.”

This time, the Protestant clergy finally couldn't help but kneel down on one knee, not by Byron, but by this sacred being who had a religious connection with each of them.

Everyone else also knelt down on the ground.

The Earl of Nottingham, who had just opened his mouth to question, his expression changed from shock to struggle to relief, and finally turned into fanaticism.

All the images of the [Creator] in my mind were fundamentally replaced by this angel.

He shouted involuntarily:

"Praise the Holy Spirit! Praise the All-Winged Angel St. Byron!"

In the mental network between the three of them, [Mithril Dragon] Catherine was happy to tilt her lips for Byron.

A vivid interpretation of what it means: The two-year period has arrived, and we welcome the return of the "True Crooked Dragon King"!

Obviously, this part of the divinity that the Creator split specifically for Byron is called the "Ten Thousand-Winged Angel".

Orthodox angels are divided into power levels based on the number of wings. The six-winged Seraph who once helped the church kill the source of the Black Death [the God of Funerals] is equivalent to a demigod.

What level is Wanyi?

Even the various angels from the "Gospel of the Kingdom" who are actually angels of the old gods have varying degrees of deformity and distortion, manifested in numerous eyes, wings, varying degrees of animalization, etc.

But the scale of the wings of [Ten Thousand-Winged Angel] is also enough to intimidate people.

Let’s not talk about whether he really came into the world as the [Holy Spirit], at least for now, his identity as a “favored one” of the Creator has been completely confirmed.

However, Byron's "all things are unified" has not yet reached the 1% level, and he cannot control the [Ten Thousand Wings Angel], and can only be as "fake as a tiger" like the original Blue Hair.

At most, some low-level followers of the Creator can be forcibly converted through information pollution in face-to-face encounters.

But who knew he was pulling a tiger's skin?

Just look at the Earl of Nottingham and you will know that in the blink of an eye, he went from a devout Orthodox Christian to a convert who could only "praise the Holy Spirit".

No one wants to try again.

Next, Byron's mission is only to preach, and to follow the original route of [Holy Son] again. The more believers there are, the more worthy of the name "Holy Spirit" will be.

Only when the devout believers of Orthodox and Protestant churches "descend" the [Ten Thousand-Winged Angel] from the "Gospel of the Kingdom" themselves can this new title be completely completed.

When the Earl of Nottingham raised his head again, his face was full of enthusiasm, but he said something that made all neutrals tremble in their hearts.

But it was a 180-degree turn.

“Praise the Holy Spirit!

Your Majesty, in order to make up for my sins, I am willing to offer you the territories and manors that the Earl of Nottingham has expanded over the years.

Keep only the initial core territory, disband the private armies, and merge them into your War Ministry as free folk.

Since you are the protector of the kingdom, there should be no private armies within the kingdom. All armed forces can only be loyal to one person, and that is you! "

Facing the indifferent gaze of the [Ten Thousand-Winged Angel], the other neutral nobles headed by Thomas Neville, the Marquis, wanted to tear the Earl of Nottingham into pieces at this time.

But he could only rush to say:

"Your Majesty, so do we!

The Earl of Nottingham means what we mean. "

Byron did not give in, and nodded to accept their kindness.

Of course, he was not too harsh on these meritorious "own people". Not only did he allow them to retain their core territories, he also promised:

"After the ceremony, you go to Queen Catherine to register your property. She will convert your land and manor into shares of the Standard Whale Company and the Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trading Company based on the market price.

In the future, everyone will share the dividends of the development of the Kingdom of Hetings! "

Upon hearing this, the neutrals, no, the die-hard royalists suddenly beamed with joy.

The wool business that works so hard and is hated by others is not worth doing. Now, your Majesty's whale oil business represents the future and huge profits!

In the future, it will no longer be a land aristocracy, but a business aristocracy.

Until now, Byron has completely defeated all the mountaintops in the country, killing one faction, beating one faction, and pulling one faction, and uniting everyone under his wings.

The foreign envoys who were originally ready to watch the show found that the [King of the Wild Hunt] not only stepped firmly on the two boats under his feet, but also took the opportunity to centralize power again.

Not only the Royal Navy, but now even the Army will be given the title of "Royal" and establish a professional army.

This is clearly a military reform that kicked over the entire feudal lord system!

But in front of the [Winged Angel], no one dared to think too much.

Facing this level of existence is no longer just talk, but it is also guilty to really think about it.

In the whole audience, only a group of Lancasters who watched Byron grow up and knew his other side had strange faces.

The dead Lancasters were cursed by the fifth-level false god [Father of Sharks] Ponape before his death, and could only go ashore one day a year (Chapter 389).

But after Byron was promoted to the fifth level and the same level as the [Father of Sharks] before his death, he immediately used the [Surgical Table] to help them remove the curse, so that they no longer had to drift on the sea.

Now everyone is watching the ceremony.

What kind of person was Byron when he was a child? Others don't know, how could they not know?

Especially Edward, as a human "browsing record" who personally recorded all of Byron's black history from childhood to adulthood, it is destined that he cannot leave his innocence in the world.

Witness Byron showing Catherine the little Jiujiu, the two brothers sneaking out of the palace in women's clothes and swaggering around, secretly sitting on the [Coronation Throne] and bowing to each other. There are countless similar examples.

Every time he comes back, he will be beaten, but he is still naughty and mischievous, and never tired of it.

A group of Lancasters even suspected that it was because Byron had been beaten too many times since he was a child that he had accumulated enough "magic resistance" to survive the attack of the old god [Kraken's Touch].

What if this kid is [Holy Spirit]?

Then our whole family is the uncle of the Creator.

As one of the few people who knew about the existence of [Book of Years], Prince Edmund Lancaster of Sorenburg couldn't help but muttered in a low voice:

"Fortunately, this kid pretended to be the Holy Spirit. If he pretended to be the Son of God and reincarnated, my father's reputation would be harmed. Aww."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard by his wife, the Little Mermaid beside him.

He would indeed be harmed by reputation.

But the victims were not one, but two.

Because the previous "Virgin Mary" was a virgin and gave birth to the Son of God, the "couple" were all living old receivers.

Byron glanced at his father and mother. We are now robbing the Creator openly. Can you be serious?

Then he looked back at the kneeling congregants and continued:

"The so-called orthodoxy has deviated from the teachings of the Creator. I cannot allow them to lead the lambs on the wrong path.

I hereby declare that Hastings has established its own church: the Royal State Church, promulgated the Ten Articles of Faith, and used the Golden Triangle as the new holy emblem.

I will serve as the supreme leader of both the secular and spiritual aspects. What belongs to the king belongs to me, and what belongs to the gods also belongs to me.

Appoint Archbishop of Canterbury [Sister of Mercy] Theresa as the first archbishop of the Royal State Church to manage the religious affairs of Hastings."

The Sabbat Council, nobles, administrative officials, and Protestant representatives all bowed and touched their chests:

"This is your power!"

Byron additionally modified the holy emblem for his own Protestantism, simply because he thought it was unlucky.

He has always had a question. The Son of God was crucified on the cross. How did the believers think that the God they believed in would like this thing?

He didn't want it anyway.

The king's coronation ceremony ended, and everyone filed out of the cathedral.

The power of Hastings has been unprecedentedly concentrated. The next step is to replicate industrialization and sharpen the sword towards the three countries of the Kalmar Union, Castile, the first sea power, and the Orthodox Church.

Byron had just walked to the door of the cathedral with the hands of the two queens and was surrounded by people, but his inspiration was suddenly touched and he stopped immediately.

After the Magna Carta was completed by the Golden Law, his control over the entire Hastings was immediately increased by several orders of magnitude, and any disturbance could not be hidden from his eyes.

At this moment, at the end of the "Third Gyre", near the border of the kingdom's territorial waters, he found the source of the strong fishy smell in the air today.

In the heavy rain, many huge black shadows were sneaking at high speed under the sea, and the direction of advance was Hastings.

And a figure was driving a strange sailing ship with a brilliant spiritual light to chase and fight with them.

Byron looked closely and found that it was the legendary knight John Hawkins, who was absent from his coronation ceremony for no reason. [Kingdom Guardian]!
