Pirate Kingship

"Hey, Ice Kiss! You have a bad reputation, so your strength should be more than this. Just show your true strength to the Blue Dragon King.

Just pretend we don't exist."

The girl on the Dreadnought was still watching the fun, putting her two little hands in front of her mouth and shouting to the ghost ship opposite to let it rest assured.

The intelligence provided by the Queen said that the captain of the Ice Kiss was actually the dragon soul of a white dragon, who had transformed into a lich, and by the way, he made the entire battleship into his own life box, and he would not die unless the battleship was destroyed.

This is exactly the case.

The frost-white dragon soul that was shrouded in the ghost ship suddenly had ice-blue flames in its eyes, and it suppressed its anger and yelled back at her:

"As if you don't exist? Okay, then take away all those ship-borne artillery pointed at my head!"

The three legendary warships guarded the front line tightly, and at the same time turned their own ship-borne artillery, all of which locked on the [Glacier Kiss] in real time, putting pressure on it comprehensively.

With a thorn in its back, it could only exert 60% of its original 100% strength, which was enough to show that its mood in front of the tomb was very stable after it became a lich.

Hearing the white dragon's question, the three ship spirits looked away again and whistled as if nothing had happened.

"Take the gun away? What if the old man is killed by you?

No, no, you should change your request."

This obviously bullying attitude made Bai Long furious on the spot, but he was just helpless and furious:

"Damn it! Where did this force come from? Three legendary warships that are rarely seen in normal times suddenly came.

And who are their masters? I have never seen such shameless warship spirits as them!"

[Glacier Kiss] has long realized that these outsiders have no martial ethics at all.

With three behemoths pointing guns at his head, his scales have exploded. How can he have the mind to fight to the death with a quasi-legendary warship with a similar strength?

But every time he wanted to break through, he would be easily forced back by a legendary warship.

There is no need to fire a gun, just the status suppression of the upper existence on the same path makes it and the crew members on the ship who were frozen to death under great pressure.

In particular, the Pirate City worked the most actively, not only to complete the tasks assigned by Byron, but also to take the opportunity to run in its new body.

The [Pirate City] in the hands of the Deep Dive Church was originally just an ordinary broken pirate ship.

It became the vehicle of the "Pirate Code" and received the blessings of all pirates to achieve qualitative changes.

But it was only the "Pirate Code" and the name [Pirate City] that were powerful. The combat effectiveness of the pirate ship itself was almost equal to nothing in front of other powerful legendary warships.

So, Byron and Violet replaced it with another heavy cruiser built in the same batch as the [Golden Deer].

It was also re-equipped, fully equipped with heavy alchemical artillery, and was ready to be sent to replace the Golden Deer in the defense of the homeland.

The [Golden Deer] will not return with the fleet this time, but will start the first circumnavigation of mankind as the flagship.

As for why the Dreadnought, which is theoretically more powerful, was not responsible for this task?

Although the combat power of steam warships is stronger on paper, the key attribute of ocean-going adventure ships, such as "self-sustaining power", is far from being comparable to that of sailing warships that can run when there is wind.

If there is no strong logistical support and a series of naval bases to support it, if this war machine is allowed to travel alone, it will soon become an iron coffin on the sea.

My father-in-law also used his own divine art [Sky Curtain Behemoth] to swallow and spit out his own activation knowledge, completely turning it into one of his incarnations.

The three main commanders of the "Pirate Code" have all died or left the ship, but the remaining pirate lineup is still very luxurious, and it is completely enough to temporarily replace the Golden Deer.

The ship's spirit and the "Pirate Code" were originally contaminated by the [Nightmare] incarnation. After being cleansed by Byron, it turned into the appearance of a female berserker.

Her face is cold and her arms are thicker than the thighs of ordinary men, but in the eyes of the pirates, she has a different kind of wildness and rugged beauty.

"Go back, this road is blocked."

The Ice Kiss failed to break out again and again, and it was ready to use the most brutal boarding battle to take down the Blue Dragon King.

As long as it could take down the other captain as a hostage as quickly as possible before the guards could react, the three legendary warships on the periphery would have to let it go.

This is the advantage of three with one. Even if you take a step back, you can still make the other party afraid to kill casually.

"Ah--!"

With a shocking dragon roar, the dragon soul turned around and rushed into the ghost ship again.

A frost-white ghost fire hundreds of meters high rose on the ship in an instant, and the sails with fine scales were immediately filled with the biting cold wind from the polar ice ocean.

The whole ship seemed to have really turned into a light white dragon, riding the strong wind and crossing the sea.

Four shining dragon claws stretched out from the water, borrowing power from the icebergs, as if they could fly on the spot.

This lich transformed from a white dragon had obviously used his body to build a ship, and his whole body was covered with rare equipment equivalent to that of a fourth-level mythical creature.

It was indeed much more luxurious than the [Blue Dragon King], which only had a fifth-level blue dragon head as its figurehead.

"Wind!"

The Prince of Sauronburg would not engage in close combat with a dragon. He raised his hand to summon countless storm elves, and relied on the [Storm Lord]'s stronger sail control ability than the white dragon to steadily close the distance.

Equip the alchemical artillery with additional storm weapons, pour endless artillery fire on the opponent, and unswervingly execute the kite-flying tactic.

By the way, I also want to vent all the depression accumulated in my heart on [Glacier Kiss].

"I can't beat my old father-in-law, how can I beat you? Blow it up! Blow it up! Blow it up!"

He was in a very similar situation to Byron and his son. They both kidnapped the precious daughter of a fifth-level false god.

But the final outcome was completely different.

Byron's fists were too strong, but his old father-in-law, the whale hunter, had a nice attitude when talking to him.

He would greet him from time to time, and he would also teach him all the business secrets he had learned from doing business without capital throughout his life, treating him as his successor.

Edmund Lancaster had no such treatment.

The Blue Dragon King's last battle against the Deep Diving Church was well disguised and made a lot of limelight, but he was caught by the Sea King Atlas when he turned around.

In the name of showing him how to "row a boat without an oar and swing without pushing", I gave him a good beating.

Fortunately, Byron handed Grandpa a stick, otherwise the weapon would have been replaced with the [Sea King's Trident].

That's a tragedy.

The old man was relieved that he had been holding his breath for a long time, but depression would not disappear, it would only shift.

Now it has been transferred from Neptune to Prince Sauron, and finally to [Glacier Kiss].

If it didn't have reinforcements to help it, it would definitely die this time.

However, as time passed, the noise of the fierce battle between the two sides became louder and louder, and soon a high-pitched dragon's roar could be heard in the wind and snow in the north, resounding across the sea.

Ouch ouch.

Then small dots appeared on the horizon.

The main ones are flying dragons, pterosaurs, and Archaeopteryx of various sub-dragon species, and a very few are pure-blooded fourth-order dragons. There are also various strange aquatic dragon monsters in the sea behind them.

Some human sailing ships on the sea also carried many colorful Argonian families.

These were the supreme rulers of the Dragon Court in the mythical age.

But looking at the living environment and technical level, it seems that it is not as good as the night devil next door, and it is really miserable.

"As expected, there is a dragon clan settlement nearby. It is most likely a dragon kingdom built around the dragon nest of the fifth-level dragon king.

This unstable factor is too close to the waterway, and the risk is too high for human merchant ships to pass through. "

Byron was not surprised by their appearance.

In other words, the reason for such a large-scale posture is to draw out the hidden dangers near the third circulation zone and clean them up thoroughly.

"Queen Marie has told me a long time ago that there are still many pure-blood dragons living in the ice and snow in the north. After they were defeated by the Dragon King's Court, they migrated here as a family.

Among the current dragon clan, the white dragons and blue dragons that are most adapted to the marine environment are the most numerous. The red dragons that conflict with the Sea of ​​Origin are likely to be extinct.

These dragon and sub-dragon dependents still believe in the eldest daughter of the Mother of Monsters [Tiamat, the Hundred-Headed Dragon Mother].

At the beginning, Wuni saw with his own eyes that Tiamat also split a priestly incarnation, but he did not appear on the battlefield of the ten undersea kingdoms, and he did not know where he went.

You must know that a considerable part of the forbidden knowledge of the Southern Continent, "The Book of Beast Familiars" (volumes 1 and 2), comes from this old god, and its potential power cannot be underestimated.

If you only regard him as the main god of the dragon, you will definitely suffer a big loss. "

Byron stuffed the last cashew nut into his wife's mouth, clapped his hands and stretched his muscles:

“All giant dragons are misers, and there is a future ocean route right at their doorstep, so it’s impossible not to rob them.

Just take advantage of this opportunity to conquer this dragon family.

Miss, let's do it. It only takes the two of us to deal with these dependents. "

"Okay, you actually said bad things about Catherine behind her back. I'm going to tell her."

Violet teased him playfully and then took action decisively.

With a flash of divine inspiration, she transformed into a machine girl on the spot. The power system in her body roared, and a strong sense of oppression burst out from the inside out.

The brass cube [Mechanical Fortress] quickly transformed into her external prosthetic plug-in, which mainly included a power unit and a giant steam cannon, and the pipe behind it spewed snow-white steam.

He jumped up and turned into a silver meteor, facing the air force. The cannons powered by high-pressure steam made a continuous buzzing sound.

puff! puff! puff! puff! puff!

The dragon's breath tracer bullets formed a chain of fire in mid-air, and with just one sweep, a group of flying dragons, Fengshen pterosaurs and ancestors flying in the front row were swept down from the sky.

This is the real battlefield broom.

The external prosthesis continued to transform, and new cannons continued to deploy. Violet alone fired a barrage of bullets.

Those sub-dragon aerial troops could no longer care about rescuing the "Glacier Kiss" and scrambled to turn around and escape.

at the same time.

Byron also transformed into a blue-eyed three-headed dragon and crashed down from a thousand meters in the air without any protection, aiming directly at the aquatic dragon species flying towards the water.

A long white flame tail was left in mid-air, and a series of "rumbling" explosions were more terrifying than the momentum of a meteor falling to the ground.

The next moment, with a shocking loud noise, countless pieces of ice, sea water, and the broken limbs of the family members were all lifted high into the sky.

Under normal circumstances, diving from a height of more than 20 meters is almost the same as jumping on a concrete floor.     Byron fell from a thousand meters high but was unscathed.

He felt that his membrane toughness, muscle density, bone strength and internal organ resistance had been improved a little bit again. The corners of the three giant dragon heads grinned, revealing a ferocious smile:

"'Suicide training' really improves physical fitness very obviously, and it is more comprehensive than other training methods.

This determines that from today on, I will do a thousand high-altitude sea diving exercises every day.

Maybe in a few years, I can fight against demigods with my flesh alone, and easily condense the [Power] priesthood!"

At the same time, the death of a large number of followers in a short period of time finally alarmed the fifth-level dragon king here.

It looks like a huge white dragon, which may have a direct blood relationship with the white dragon soul of the [Glacier Kiss].

Byron's "All Things Return to One" has long reached 10%, and he accurately locked the opponent from hundreds of kilometers away.

Without waiting for the Dragon King who had just woken up from his deep sleep to react, he released the most powerful [Dragon Language Forbidden Spell] of the Age of Gods.

He immediately summoned [Guaranteed Gungnir] and shot it out.

——Taming Gun!

Effect: "Limited to non-human creatures, after hitting the target, it will enter the spiritual world by itself. Only by using one's own will to subdue the prey can the opponent be truly subdued.

If the opponent forcibly breaks free or subdues it in the opposite direction, it may cause mental trauma."

A line of blue light flew over.

As the White Dragon King was shot, the image of Byron's blue-eyed three-headed dragon suddenly descended into his consciousness and read his name.

"[Winter Tyrant] Eowald? Submit to me!"

"Ah——!"

The White Dragon King was sleeping in his dragon nest with the little female dragon in his arms, and was suddenly robbed. Who wouldn't be furious?

The reason is that you are worried that I will rob you in the future, so you want to rob me first? ? ?

Is there still law in this world?

The White Dragon King struggled violently, but was eventually subdued little by little.

At this time, Byron had no risk of killing the incarnation of the old god, and there would be no accidents in controlling a pseudo-god with a single path.

On the other side, the Blue Dragon King finally blew up the quasi-legendary battleship Ice Kiss after some maneuvers, completing the ascension ceremony of "The Secret Ritual of Theseus".

The dragon head figure hanging under the bowsprit seemed to come alive again, and together with Prince Sorenburg, it let out a high-pitched dragon roar, which was no less powerful than the White Dragon King.

On the other hand, a low whine was heard from the ruins of the Ice Kiss, which was completely silent.

Then the Blue Dragon King generated a huge suction force out of thin air, and successively took the parts from the Ice Kiss and replaced them on itself.

The gleaming keel and the dragon-wing sails that naturally match the wind and water elements all became part of the Blue Dragon King, making the latter's aura stronger and stronger.

He quickly broke through the critical point of the fifth level in a breath.

Prince Sorenburg asked himself and answered himself.

A "Ship of Theseus" that can sail on the sea for hundreds of years is due to uninterrupted maintenance and replacement of parts.

As long as a piece of wood rots, it will be replaced, and it can always remain in peak condition.

Question: "If all the wood on the Ship of Theseus is replaced until all the wood is not the original wood, will this ship still be the original ship?"

Another question: "If the old parts taken from the Ship of Theseus are used to rebuild a new ship, which of the two ships is the real Ship of Theseus?"

The essence of the Ship of Theseus is to replace the old with the new!

Clang clang clang.

A long stairway to the gods suddenly rose from his head and anchored the immortal ladder in the void.

Edmund Lancaster shouted loudly to the sky:

"The basis for determining whether a thing is itself is not the specific material that makes up the thing.

It is the internal structure of the thing - the relationship between the material elements, and the time and space continuity of the thing.

The essence of the "Ship of Theseus" is to strip away and summarize it, that is:

"The specific relationship between the parts with time and space continuity!"

Even after countless repairs and replacements of wood, the Ship of Theseus that has always sailed on the sea is still itself."

Byron looked back with a happy face.

"Dad did it!"

Just like humans who only need to replace all the cells in their body every seven years, as long as the genetic code that determines the material composition remains unchanged, he will still be the original self.

The Y chromosome is inherited from father to son and grandson, and the genetic information it carries remains consistent.

The manifestation is that the noble lineage and family inheritance all use the same surname.

YY is eternal, and one will be passed down forever. If you love her, give her an ancestral chromosome!

The Immortal Staircase is the life information and genetic code of the Ship of Theseus.

This forbidden knowledge originally belonged to Morton Gray, a fifth-level legendary craftsman with a strong love for ships.

Even this immortal ladder was understood by the dedication of "Red Bearded Edward", who had been dissected countless times.

Unfortunately, even with the support of the Kingdom of Castile, Morton Gray still failed to complete the "Challenge the Impossible" ritual in these two years, and was eventually surpassed by Prince Sorenburg.

At this moment, the world itself and the collective subconscious of mankind began to feed back power to him, causing his spirituality to rise instantly, and he was promoted to the fifth-level pseudo-god.

God’s name: [Soul Ferryman]!

Quietly digesting the [funeral] priesthood that Byron had given him in advance.

[Blue Dragon King] was immediately promoted to a legendary battleship.

Gained divine spells and legendary battleship skills at the same time.

Magic [Soul Burial]: "If any living person makes me unhappy, I will take him away. If any undead makes me unhappy, I will forcefully send him back to hell."

Legendary battleship skill [Ship of Theseus]:

"As long as the specific relationship between each part is maintained, the Blue Dragon King can be continuously upgraded. In theory, it can be upgraded from a small raft to an aircraft carrier or even stronger."

So far, the North Sea Empire has a total of five legendary battleships: [Golden Deer], [Fearless], [Dragon Head Ship Valhalla], [Pirate City], and [Blue Dragon King].

The number of fifth-level false gods has also expanded again.

"[Human Emperor] Byron; [Queen of War] Violet; [Queen of Finance] Catherine;

Capture and foreign aid: [Mother of Breeding] Therese, [Demon of the Abyss] Dagon, [Elf of Love] Salome, [Sick Girl] Alice, [Silly Giant], [Winter Tyrant] Eovald ;

The two archbishops [Deacon Twilight] Lockhart, [Sister of Mercy] Teresa, and a bishop's ring snatched from the Three Kingdoms of the Evernight Peninsula were useless;

The three guardians of the kingdom are [Lord of the Nest] Hawkins, [Jack of Spades] Hogle, and [The Boneless One] Ivana;

[Sea King] Atlas, [Pearl of the Black Sea] Evely, and [Miracle Mage] Salant from the Mermaid Kingdom;

Parents: [The Little Mermaid Princess] Hathaway, [Soul Ferryman] Edmund Lancaster;

Father-in-law [whale hunter] Jack Harold. "

In total, there are exactly 21 fifth-level or equivalent combat power.

This does not include the high-ranking wizards organized by the Desert Empire and the Lighthouse Federation.

The empire's frame was slowly put up, and this kind of high-level combat power was unique among all the secular countries in the Silver Continent.

It's just that the territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the density of the fifth level has not increased much.

Byron had a very clear understanding of the strength of the North Sea Empire:

"Only seven of the priestly incarnations of the old gods who smuggled into the material world have died. The remaining ones are still plotting some evil tricks. At least one fifth-level incarnation must be placed in a territory or key node.

Otherwise, even if there is an attack, the alarm may not be sent.

If I want to breathe a sigh of relief, I still have to wait until I am promoted to the sixth level of demigod. "

My luck seems to be very good today.

Just when the news of Dad's successful promotion brought by the Third Circulation had just spread back to the country.

The Sassanid Dynasty, the Fire Worship Empire, the main line of the "Followers" of the Holy Ghost Religion on the West Coast, also sent a formal diplomatic note to the royal capital, Kingston.

The main idea is: "The Sasanian Dynasty is willing to push the Holy Spirit to officially recognize His Majesty Saint Byron as the "Holy Spirit" or even the Messiah of the New Age?

His Majesty St. Byron is specially invited to arrange time for a meeting in the Fire Worship Empire at the end of August. "

Most of the Holy Spirit Church countries on the west coast are countries that combine politics and religion.

Among them, the Star-Moon Empire, ruled by the "Orthodox Path Sect", was too powerful and ambitious to rule the entire Holy Spirit Religion countries.

Using the unequivocal fusion of religious power and royal power, he directly created the second [Triple Crown] in one step, competing with the Pope for the throne of the first in the world.

However, this strong style has forced almost all the surrounding small countries into the weaker "follower faction" camp.

Including the Sasanian Dynasty, the second strongest Fire Worship Empire on the west coast, they all changed from the original "Orthodox Path Sect" to the "Follower Sect" just to avoid being annexed by the Star-Moon Empire.

This is how weak countries survive.

The stronger a big country becomes, the more they try to create barriers with the big country at home and promote hatred.

But once a big country falls, they will immediately put out all the archaeological documents to prove that they are their biological sons and legitimate successors.

There are no exceptions from ancient times to the present.

Although it is childish to change such a big thing as belief, for the sake of the power in hand, this thing cannot be put aside temporarily.

"So if you are recognized by the Holy Spirit Church, you are also recognized by the West Coast countries under the rule of the corresponding sect in disguise, and you even hope to gain certain dominance on the West Coast?"

Byron couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

“There is such a good thing in the world??”
