Pirate Kingship

The Invincible Fleet of the Pyrenees Empire and the commerce-breaking fleet of the North Sea Empire each represent the pinnacle of naval warfare in the era of sailing warships.

But this time, most of the former were second-tier cruisers, while the latter were main battleships with more firepower than ordinary 74-gun third-level battleships, and there were more of them.

More is stronger, bigger is more beautiful. There is no suspense in such a naval battle. The gap between a few middle-sequence extraordinary people cannot change the situation.

The effect of [Invincible Banner] also weakened to the extreme with the reversal of strength and weakness.

No one in the navy of the North Sea Empire was afraid of the Invincible Fleet anymore, and the morale of the Pyrenees also plummeted on the spot, and they were in a panic.

When nearly two thousand heavy artillery shells whizzed in, the two cruisers closest to [Pearl Bay] were the first to suffer.

Especially the [Squid] that was too close to the unlucky Raymond was the first to suffer.

Boom!

After being blasted to pieces by five shells, the keel of the midship was broken by a 32-pound cannon on a heavy cruiser close to the water.

For a cruiser that focuses on flexibility, facing a battleship-class heavy gun is like a flyweight boxer facing a heavyweight boxer. If they play a slapping contest with someone, they may be slapped to death.

"It's bad, water is coming into the bottom of the ship, retreat quickly."

"Hurry up and put the boat down, let the officers go first."

Except for Byron's North Sea Empire, the navies of other countries basically use ordinary sailors as slaves, and then catch them after they are used up. Officers have priority at all times.

Unfortunately, Raymond's immediate superior, the captain of this ship, had been blown into two pieces by a shell in the previous bombardment, and half of his buttocks were still hanging on the mast, and there was no chance to escape.

The first boat was put into the water by the sailors who were not qualified to escape, and the officers who were still alive just jumped on it.

The severely damaged keel could no longer bear the weight of the warship. With a tooth-grinding "crunch" sound, the entire warship broke into two pieces under its huge weight.

The unlucky Raymond and the crew members who failed to board the ship fell into the sea with a "thump thump".

The most important taboo at night during ocean voyages is:

"Never drip fresh human blood into the sea, it may become a delicious bait that causes unknown disasters."

The strong bloody smell of naval battles has long attracted all kinds of weird and evil spirits in the Sea of ​​Monsters.

Unless you are a powerful mid-sequence extraordinary person, if you dare to fall into the water at this time, you will definitely not be able to climb up again.

Raymond, the first mate, has already fled to the fleet flagship [The Twelve Apostles] on a small boat.

His tactics are very simple: "Fire at me, and I won't die."

Using his bad luck, he infinitely magnified the tiny probability of a solid cannonball sinking a wooden sailboat and pitted them to death.

Of course, the bad luck accumulated by the title [Unlucky Guy] in a short period of time is limited, and how many people will be killed in the end is not something he can decide.

"Order: Keep your distance, shoot freely, don't fight a boarding battle, and send this invincible fleet to the bottom of the sea."

The Lancaster remnant who escaped the Red and White Rose War, the Storm Knight [Eye-catching] Beretania, has now become a vice admiral of the navy and the deputy commander of the commerce-breaking fleet.

Relying on the resources of the North Sea Empire, he followed the knight's route of expanding territory and successfully promoted to the fourth-level [Storm Lord].

He used the [Storm King Seal] improved by Byron to reversely invade the natural celestial phenomena controlled by the fourth-level navigator [Weather Scepter] on the opposite side.

Woo woo woo.

There was a strong wind and thunder in the sky, as if two invisible angry dragons were fighting to the death in the sky.

Bean-sized raindrops and hail fell "crackling" on the battlefield.

After losing its combat power advantage, the Invincible Fleet was obviously about to lose even the right time, at least it could no longer have a negative impact on the commerce-breaking fleet.

"Mission failed, disperse and retreat."

Fleet Commander [Humanoid Turret] Franco Balmond closed his eyes in pain and issued a retreat order after seeing his warships being severely damaged and ignited one after another.

But facing a group of heavily armed cruisers equipped with standard strange figureheads, who dares to guarantee that they can really escape?

It is natural to consider defeat before victory in a war, but even the senior staff officers of the General Staff could not imagine this kind of failure at all.

Now we can only hope that the Creator will bless us, and whoever escapes is a good one.

Just before the flagship [Twelve Apostles] began to accelerate the breakout, the unlucky Raymond had quietly killed all the officers on the escape boat and sneaked onto the flagship.

As soon as I got on board, I heard a prayer:

"Creator, please listen to my words and take care of my thoughts. My King and my God, please listen to my cry."

This strange warship was named after the apostle. It was blessed by three cardinals during its construction and gained extraordinary abilities such as [Holy Prayer].

The devout crew members prayed together under the guidance of the military priests, and they could activate various auxiliary abilities, which were highly adaptable.

At this time, the phantoms of twelve angels surrounded the warship, stretched out their wide wings, and formed a huge deflection field.

While strengthening the defense, the wind was encouraged to accelerate the evacuation of this nominal battleship.

Raymond knew that in the Pyrenees Empire, a devout Orthodox country, military priests were standard configuration and had a very high status.

In wartime, he is only below the captain, but in peacetime, he can be on equal footing with the captain, and even superior to him in some cases.

He immediately determined his next goal.

Relying on his current status as a Pyrenees officer, he strode to the side of the middle-aged clergyman, tapped his chest four times, and asked him in confusion:

"Father, I have been walking on thin ice all my life. Do you think I can reach the other side?"

Seeing that he was covered in blood, the priest thought he was a marine who had just been fighting outside. While asking him to join the team quickly to provide his mind and will, he answered with great certainty:

"Definitely! Our [Twelve Apostles] has been blessed by the Creator, and we will definitely be able to return to the Empire and successfully land."

Raymond's face was full of gratitude. He said meaningfully to this clergyman who was of the same rank as himself but far superior to him:

"Really? That's great. Then please take care of me, Father."

As soon as this sentence came out, the ability of the title [Unlucky Guy] was also strengthened to the extreme.

Raymond received the guidance of Vanessa, the witch of disaster, and condensed his bad luck into a spell: "Brother or so-and-so, please take care of me."

It can condense bad luck and release it in one breath. It can be used once a day, and the effect is more rapid than "Fellow Daoist, please stay."

Anyone of the same or lower rank who dares to be his "brother" will be in big trouble on the spot. He will be struck by lightning on a rainy day, choked to death by drinking water, or accidentally fired when cleaning a gun. There is nothing that cannot be done, only what cannot be thought of.

For example, now.

The priest was already a little impatient with this chatterbox guy, and was about to raise his hand to push him into the queue of kneeling and praying, so that he could work quickly.

Bang!

A 42-pound shell that would have been bounced away by the deflection force field was suddenly disturbed by an inexplicable force and drilled into the bulwark of the [Twelve Apostles] through the gap in the deflection force field.

By sheer coincidence, it passed over the priest's shoulder, taking away his pretendingly kind head, and then jumped into the dense crowd of sailors, plowing a bloody passage.

Raymond wiped the brains off his face, and then he seemed to wake up from a dream, screaming:

"It's bad, the priest with the army is dead.

The Creator has abandoned the Twelve Apostles--!"

The morale, which was already low, collapsed on the spot. The escaping warship immediately withered, and the deflection field was broken.

The flagship of the rear [Enemy First] Beretania has led two frigates to catch up. With faster speed and stronger firepower, two rounds of rapid fire caused heavy losses to the flagship.

The bowsprit was broken, the sailboat's stays tied to it were all broken, and the masts began to sway left and right.

"The Twelve Apostles can't escape.

Antonio, you and the young officers take the [Henry Navigation Chart] and retreat first.

If the conqueror Cortes hadn't lost the first-level holy relic [the first overseas development order], Byron Lancaster would not have been able to successfully plunder the treasure fleet and rise so quickly as he is now.

We must never lose any powerful first-level holy relics again!"

[Humanoid Turret] Franco Balmond tilted his head to avoid a splash of shrapnel and stuffed the navigation chart into the hands of the deputy commander.

The latter immediately realized something and his face changed drastically:

"Commander, do you want to..."

Franco just left a sentence: "Follow the order, the Invincible Fleet will only die, not lose", and walked out on his own.

The deputy commander and the officers could only salute him with grief on their faces, and then each pinched a corner of the navigation chart to find their own names on the map.

Then push your name along the route you came from all the way back to the origin of the Pyrenees Peninsula.

Their bodies also began to become illusory and eventually disappeared without a trace.

This was actually a magical "manual return trip", equivalent to the return scroll in the game.

[Henry's Navigation Chart] integrates almost all the functions that navigators dream of when adventuring, but the impact range is limited and it cannot return the entire army.

At this time, the fourth-level artillery expert [Humanoid Turret] Franco Balmond has already stood on the tall poop of the battleship.

Activating the core ability [Artillery Position], ripples appeared around him, and dozens of illusory gun barrels were summoned to aim at the flagship of the commerce-breaking fleet that followed closely.

Spiritual glow burst out, connecting the gun barrels, supplying ammunition, and the muzzles of these artillery guns lit up one after another.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Roughly equivalent to a six-pound cannon rapid fire, the hot fire elemental shells poured towards the enemy ship like a rainstorm.

The title special effects of this fleet commander plus the professional ability of the fourth-level hero made him really transformed into a humanoid turret, and every shot was extremely accurate.

Even if the artillery experts and musketeers of the opposing commerce-breaking fleet wanted to fight back, it was far more difficult to hit a warship with a smoothbore cannon than to hit a person in the sea.

Even though [Knowing the Enemy's Opportunity] Beretania personally operated the cannon to snipe, the enemy used more professional long-range sniping/counter-sniping skills to dodge.

So he had to order a dense formation to blow up the ammunition depot of [The Twelve Apostles] and send this fourth-level hero to the bottom of the sea.

"Humph, idiot."

This countermeasure was exactly what [Human Turret] wanted.

He raised his right hand, and a complex circular rune on the back of his hand quickly swelled, from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, and then quickly turned into a scarlet ball of light emitting a strong and dangerous aura.

It was extremely unstable from the moment it was born, and it seemed that any slight disturbance could cause it to explode on the spot.

The humanoid turret smiled coldly and slapped the light ball into a gun barrel beside him.

"I may die, but so many of your heavy cruisers with teleportation capabilities and the sea carriage team will disappear from the world with me.

This deal is worth it!"

Franco's teacher is one of the Kingdom Guardians of the Pyrenees Empire, a fifth-level legendary artillery expert [Element Lord] Nicholas of the same sequence as him.

He has a powerful magic called [Element Annihilation].

Before leaving, he gave his fourth-level hero-level proud disciple a [Fire Element Annihilation Bomb], which is equivalent to the full-strength attack of the Element Lord.

However, there is a big problem in using this move.

That is, the humanoid turret's rank is not enough. The indirect killing range of the annihilation bomb itself is as long as two kilometers, but its maximum range is only 1.5 kilometers.

So this is a forbidden technique that requires a fourth-level hero-level artillery expert to use once.

However, for Franco Balmond, a traditionalist soldier who was willing to sink with the ship to maintain the reputation of the Invincible Fleet, this was not an unacceptable serious flaw.

As long as the strategic value of the target was large enough, it was completely worth it!

His mouth split open, and he pronounced the fate of all the Bay Citizen soldiers in the sea area in front of him who had not yet realized the danger:

"Let's all die together."

But just as he was about to pull the trigger in his heart and launch the element annihilation bomb.

A green light suddenly flashed on the deck of the poop in front of him, and a pair of men and women who looked familiar appeared.

The man was about forty years old, with slightly white temples, a burly figure, and wearing the general uniform of the North Sea Empire.

A petite girl in a purple lady's dress hugged his arm intimately, and their ages were like father and daughter, but their postures were like husband and wife.

But no matter what their relationship was, they exuded an extraordinary and powerful aura, and it seemed that they were not facing two people standing here, but two perfect gods.

Danger——!

Franco was only slightly startled when he recognized the identity of the man in front of him. His pupils contracted and he cried out in surprise:

"You are Prince Edmund Lancaster of Thorenberg? You have become a god?!"

From Byron's appearance, it can be seen that Prince Thorenberg is obviously a handsome man who can be a "friend of middle-aged and elderly women".

After becoming a god, his appearance is solidified and will no longer continue to age and decay. He is much better than his father-in-law, the Sea King Atlas, who has become an old man.

But who made the little mermaid princess Hathaway sleep for twenty years and become a god soon after waking up, and she still looks like a petite and cute girl.

When strangers meet this pair, they think Edmund Lancaster is a heinous criminal, or the kind that can be shot directly without trial.

Prince Sorenburg had no such awareness at all. He nodded to the humanoid turret and surrendered:

"Are you Franco Balmond?

I remember you, one of the fourth-level heroes who is most likely to be promoted to legend in Castili.

You are unlucky. I happened to be on duty near the Bantaan Islands these two days.

Just surrender, I can let you live two more days."

Since Atahualpa is Byron's most important money bag at present, he is continuously using the "Ponzi scheme" to send the money of the dignitaries of the Sun Empire to the banks of the Holy Golden Empire.

At the same time, the South Continent Rift Trench is also an indispensable energy base for the whale oil industry.

So after returning, Dad and the legendary battleship [Blue Dragon King] re-stationed on the first island of the Centaur Islands, and often traveled between the material world and the edge of the world.

But Byron was worried that [Sun God] Inti, who had never been successfully promoted, would suddenly explode, so he strictly forbade Dad to go to the Sun Empire in person, and at most sent an incarnation there.

As for Hathaway, after getting three phase incarnations, one was placed in the Fairy Tale Town School, one in the Mermaid Kingdom, and the other naturally followed her husband to live a sweet life with her husband.

After receiving the news, they immediately rushed over to support the battle.

Prince Sorenburg is now a fifth-level pseudo-god [Soul Ferryman].

In addition to the [Funeral] priesthood that has merged with the Eel King's [Funeral] priesthood, even the West Coast Pirate King [Ocean Throne] Barbarossa Hayreddin can hardly compete with him.

He became the top high-sequence extraordinary person in the southern hemisphere.

When talking to the humanoid turret, he activated his own divine art [Soul Funeral]:

"If any living person makes me unhappy, I will take him away. If any undead makes me unhappy, I will force it to return to hell."

Before Franco Balmond fired the elemental annihilation bomb, a dark vortex suddenly appeared under his feet, sucking his body and soul into the edge of the world like a flush toilet.

Wait for a breath.

Boom——!!!

Everyone in this sea area had hallucinations, as if the entire sea area was shaken.

There was such a movement across the world barrier, which shows the terrifying power of this big move.

The [humanoid turret] that fell into the edge of the world had long lost its human form at this time, and was scattered all over the edge of the world.

Even ghosts couldn't be made.

Then, the commerce-breaking fleet chased the enemy to the north, not letting any enemy go. When the invincible fleet was completely wiped out and the battle was completely ended, the dawn had already appeared on the horizon.

All members of the commerce-breaking fleet gathered around the dilapidated [Pearl Bay].

I don't know who led the funeral war song:

". Beyond the fire and thunder;

Only glory accompanies it;

echoes of eternity;

The Hall of Valor is calling me."

In the past, this song could only be regarded as a beautiful wish. Not every brave warrior could finally sleep peacefully in Valhalla after death.

Most of them still fall into the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness, enriching the human heritage.

But this time things were obviously different.

In the midst of a song that was far more heroic than desolate, the raven sitting on the mast looked back at the Prince of Sauronborg next to him:

"Dad."

The latter nodded:

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

He immediately activated the [Funeral] priesthood, and a blazing blue flame ignited in his hand and spread to the battleship.

The sails, decks, artillery, and every corpse of the Gulf Citizen soldiers were ignited. Instead of being burned to ashes like fuel, they were re-infused with life, and they got up from the ground one after another.

A group of people looked at their repaired bodies and the [Pearl Bay] that had turned into a ghost ship in disbelief:

"Am I alive?"

Prince Sauron, the [Soul Ferryman], surprisingly transformed the whole corpse-strewn [Pearl Bay] into the first heavily equipped cruiser ghost ship, which is the ship coffin in the mythology of the Bay people.

Recruit them as his ferrymen!

A ghost officer on board the Blue Dragon King carried a roster and boarded the brand new ghost ship, shouting at them to line up and register:

"Brothers, starting from today, your legion affiliation will be transferred from the 'Breaking Fleet' to the 'Ghost Fleet', seamlessly, and you will join the army on the spot.

But everyone can rest assured that the Navy Department will issue your death pension in the name of special mission allowance as usual.

Those who have family members will receive the pension, and those who do not have family members can receive the pension themselves.

The benefits and vacation system are the same as when I was alive.

Even if you are afraid of scaring your family during the holidays, you can still get a [Fraud Talisman] from the Military Supplies Department to ensure that you are no different from when you were alive.

We are born as Imperial people and die as Imperial ghosts. This is the unique benefit of our Beihai Empire. "

Seeing the unspeakable expressions on the faces of some undead soldiers who had already understood the situation, they blinked understandingly:

"If you are worried about losing your male pleasure, don't worry too much.

His Highness Edward has just launched the [Nightmare Amulet], which allows you to go back to your wife or your sweetheart at the Moulin Rouge through falling into a dream.

Of course, if she wasn't afraid of nightmares. "

Talking about popular male topics, the undead soldiers' last regrets disappeared without a trace, and they showed a smile that every man understands.

The last trace of sadness in the hearts of the living soldiers was swept away, and some joked to their acquaintances:

“James, I know you are still a virgin and you don’t even know which way the door of the Moulin Rouge opens.

But you don't have to worry.

When the time comes, my brother will take you there and pick out a good, fat and soft millstone for you, and let you, a brat, grind it hard for three days and three nights. "

"As long as you use your death pension to invite me to play with you."

"Ha ha ha ha."

There was joy and laughter on the battlefield.

Byron's body in Kingston, his hometown, and his ministers received a declaration of war submitted by the diplomats of the Pyrenean Empire.

The imperial nobles, parliamentarians and ministers were filled with outrage.

"Declaring war first? I have served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for decades, and I have never seen such a despicable government and such hypocritical and distorted documents."

"You have awakened a sleeping giant, and now he is raging."

"War! Only the blood of the Pyrenees can wash away their sins."

Byron, who was sitting high on the throne, knocked on the armrest and thought of the nation in his previous life.

They are different from all other peoples.

Others tend to record their own victories and brilliance, but are ashamed to mention their own failures.

Of course, most peoples will never stand up again once they fail.

But they are different. Most of their records of victory are passed by in passing, but their failures are written down in detail. It can be said that the entire history book is a small notebook written down by the ancestors.

Claimed: "Our desire for revenge is extremely strong, our period of revenge is extremely long, and our power of revenge is extremely powerful!"

And every revenge is done with a well-known name and is absolutely righteous!

There is a historical fact that was treated as a joke.

Zhu Di wanted to attack Mongolia, so he kept reading the history books until he was humiliated at the siege of Bai Deng 1400 years ago, and vowed to avenge the Han Emperor.

The one who was beaten was even confused when he heard the reason.

How can you still remember the grudge that happened 1,400 years ago?

Are you here to be funny?

Huh? Mongolia, why don't you laugh?

"But it doesn't matter if it's the current pirate empire. Whoever we want to beat up, do we still have to find a leader to make a name for ourselves?

Of course it’s good to have it, but it’s not impossible to not have it.

At worst, take this tube of washing powder away.

From a distance, you can see the great lighthouse of civilization, and from close, you can see pirates holding torches.

I am a barbarian! "

As a result, Byron's order was immediately conveyed to various departments.

“Starting immediately, we will launch reciprocal countermeasures against the countries of the Orthodox Alliance.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs gives me a sanctions list, and I want them to feel the pain that goes deep into their bones.

The breaking fleet began to block the first circulation zone and the celestial circulation, and from now on, I cut off the north and south routes of the Pyrenees Empire.

They can decide when the war starts, but they can't decide when it ends.

Let us pirates teach them what a real war of breaking ties is.

Ladies and gentlemen, I declare that the real war has begun!

The North Sea Empire will win! "

A war cry rang out in the legal network.

"Roar——!"
