Pirate Kingship

Before he finished speaking, a small sailboat about the size of a wine bottle first landed in the Strait of Dover, quickly leaving a white wake on the sea.

It expanded into a second-class battleship with brilliant light one nautical mile away from the Pirate City.

——The quasi-legendary battleship [Phantom in the Bottle]!

Transparent glass bottles jumped into the sea from the cabin one after another. Each of these hundreds of glass bottles contained a model of a sailing warship.

The workmanship was very fine, and the masts, decks, cannons, cables, etc. were all like the real thing.

The old sea dogs who followed Byron to fight the colonial war in the southern continent would not think that these were really models, and they all sounded the alarm.

Sure enough, at the moment they fell into the water, those model boats jumped out of the bottles and expanded into a huge fleet in front of the Iris Fleet led by the [Pirate City].

Moreover, the main mast of each warship is hung with the Burgundy Cross of the Pyrenees Navy and the fleet pennant of the Invincible Fleet.

This means that this fleet in the bottle also belongs to the Invincible Fleet and can enjoy the ability bonus of the fleet title [Invincible Banner].

"Hey, in addition to the dragon-headed ship Valhalla, the North Sea Empire has another beauty?

And it is a heavy cruiser like the [Golden Deer].

The Creator is really too kind to me.

Mine, all beauties are mine, hahahaha"

A figure flashed on the deck of the Phantom in the Bottle, and a strange person with an extremely alternative appearance appeared.

He looked about forty years old, wearing black-framed glasses, messy hair, and haggard face. He looked like a top-notch professional.

But he only vaguely looked like a human, and there were too many inhuman elements on him.

Not only was he wearing a formal dress with deck patterns, but even the surface of his skin was woody.

He was wearing a white canvas cape, and at one end of the cape there was a dirty cable that had grown into his flesh and tied to his bones.

On his waist were two rows of at least ten magical muskets, one on the left and one on the right, as if they were playing the role of the broadside guns of a warship.

The most exaggerated thing was that a wooden steering wheel grew on his head, which was constantly rotating as he shook his head, making the navy in the opposite fleet feel a chill.

Byron couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:

"The sailing collector Morton Gray lost his body in the southern continent's rift trench last time, leaving only the ship-bound spirit attached to the Phantom in the bottle.

This is probably about to get out of control, right?"

At the beginning, Morton not only lost his body, but also lost the steering wheel that carried the "Theseus Ship Spirit Mystery" that could help balance divinity, bestiality, and maintain humanity (Chapter 394).

After not seeing him for a long time, this sailing pervert has obviously become even crazier.

Even if he is a powerful fifth-level legend, he doesn't know when he will suddenly degenerate into a freak who only wants to kill and eat people.

Byron seriously suspected that Queen Saint Isabella was planning to use this guy as cannon fodder, and make the last use of him while he could still distinguish between enemies and friends.

The ship spirit "Pirate City" who turned into a rough female Bay People Berserker only felt that there seemed to be a sticky tongue hidden in the other party's eyes, licking his skin.

It was like several slugs crawling slowly, and goose bumps fell all over the floor.

Although he knew it was an illusion, and the ship spirit was essentially genderless like elemental creatures, the other party's eyes were really disgusting.

He now just wanted to pull out the other party's intestines and wrap them around his neck, and then strangle him to death.

Snap!

Without waiting for the Pirate City to take action, Morton Gray on the opposite side raised his hand and snapped his fingers, launching his own magic [Virtual Ship Spirit], giving each warship a powerful ship spirit incarnation.

The entire fleet seemed to come alive and began to collectively face the wind, trying to gain the upper hand in the northeast wind of the North Sea and crush the Iris Fleet.

"Beauty, here I come!"

[Pirate City] immediately volunteered:

"Captain, Morton is just the vanguard of the Invincible Fleet, let me kill him!"

Byron waved his hand:

"In the past, the sailing collector could be a regional small BOSS, but now he can only be regarded as a small leader. The main course is still to come, don't worry.

Some people have been waiting for him for a long time."

In his eyes, the only real opponents are the Invincible Fleet and the Holy Trinity.

A sailing collector is not worth his personal involvement.

He just shouted to the Law Network:

"Dad, leave it to you."

The underwater of this sea area suddenly turned into a dark, and the hazy green light covered the sea.

The next moment, the sea was windy again, and a huge ghost fleet with green whale oil lanterns jumped out from the edge of the world.

Led by the Blue Dragon King, they charged towards the Bottle Fleet.

The two sailing fleets formed a battle line, harnessed the sea breeze, and each carried thousands of ship-borne artillery and moved forward.

After the "Six Major Sects Besieged the Blood Beast's Lair" of the Mermaid Kingdom, the total number of nominal battleships and battleships above level 4 in the Ghost Fleet has exceeded 80.

Even the Invincible Fleet only has more than 100 level 3 battleships, plus the level 4 nominal battleships distributed around the world, a total of only 300.

This ghost fleet, which has accumulated a fortune from wars in the Old Continent, the South Continent, and the East Continent, can offset one-third of the opponent's forces.

But when Moulton Gray saw the ghost fleet appearing in front of him, there was no surprise on his face. Instead, he had expected it and sneered at the corner of his mouth:

"The little mouse finally came out. This ghost fleet is your last trump card, right?

The Intelligence Department has long had a clear understanding of the naval strength of the North Sea Fleet.

The ghost fleet appeared during the Southern Continent Colonial War and the North Sea Colonial War. Are we stupid enough to turn a blind eye to it?

The deep sea fleet was handed over to the Holy Silver Empire, and the breaking fleet was too late to come back. I, the vanguard who does not need to defeat the undead soldiers one by one, was responsible for blocking the ghost fleet.

What will you do next to resist the Armada? Just rely on the dozens of conventional battleships in the Iris Kingdom? We will definitely win this battle! "

However, just as the fleets on both sides were gradually approaching, they were about to enter the artillery range.

In his spiritual vision, Moulton suddenly discovered that the aura on the quasi-legendary battleship [Blue Dragon King] serving as the flagship was getting brighter and brighter, and his eyes couldn't help but open wider and wider.

Finally, I couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Ship of Theseus? How is it possible that you used my forbidden knowledge to become a legendary ship spirit?!"

Then he was furious:

"Thief——! Give me back my position as ship spirit."

Although this legendary shipbuilder's appearance is unbalanced due to human nature, he has become difficult to describe.

However, his own class has almost not changed since the last time he encountered Byron. He is still a fifth-level legendary craftsman in the tower sequence, plus a fourth-level mythical creature, the ship spirit.

Although he had gone much further than Prince Lundberg in the forbidden knowledge [Mystery of the Ship Spirit of Theseus].

He has also discovered long ago what the most critical ladder of immortality is.

But success is also a fifth-level legend, and failure is a fifth-level legend. It is precisely because he originally had fifth-level strength that the [Challenging the Impossible] ritual became truly impossible.

Prince Sauron only needs to challenge a fifth-level quasi-legendary battleship that has a reputation outside to be promoted.

[Sailboat Collector] is no good. Even an ordinary legendary warship is not worthy of his legendary craftsmanship. It cannot give other people the subjective impression that "this thing is impossible".

Naturally, the ritual cannot be completed.

However, as Edmund Lancaster became the false god [Soul Ferryman], he was also a superior being on the same path as the Sailboat Collector.

If the Blue Dragon King can be targeted, it may be possible to reopen the Impossible Challenge Ceremony. If you defeat Prince Sauron, you can get everything from him.

One wants to ascend, and the other wants to eliminate threats. There is destined to be only one [Ship of Theseus] in this world. Either you die or I die.

Prince Sorrenborg originally didn't want to pay attention to Moulton's nonsense. He just wanted to cut the knot quickly and solve this madness. Maybe he would communicate the hidden dangers of the old gods at some point.

But I saw this sailing fanatic’s eyes becoming sticky again:

"How can a ship spirit remain a male when he was a human? The gender of a ship spirit should be a ship girl or a sailing battleship."

As he spoke, his face suddenly straightened out nervously, and he nodded to the tall and mighty Edmund Lancaster:

"Actually, male ship spirits are not impossible."

Now it was Prince Sauron's turn to turn blue.

I see you are really hungry.

Seeing that the opponent had entered the range of his own fleet, he immediately waved his hand:

"Load solid ammunition, fleet salvo, fire! Crush him to dust for me."

The undead sailors around them who were looking intently as if they didn't hear the crazy words on the other side immediately acted upon the order.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

The gunfire flashed. The North Sea Empire had never gathered battleships of this size in its hands. The fleet salvo almost destroyed the sea.

Sawdust flew and the mast was broken.

The fleet in the bottle has no human crew, which eliminates the biggest weakness of a warship. The cannons and cables on the ship activate themselves, and they fire back one after another.

However, although [Sailboat Collector] has a wealthy family, the scale and battleship level of the fleet in the bottle have long been surpassed by the ghost fleet.

Perhaps they had calculated the existence of the ghost fleet in advance, but failed to predict their epic enhancement in the Eastern Continent.

Both the paper data and the actual results were immediately at a disadvantage without any surprise.

If you persist for a few hours at most, you will be sent to the bottom of the sea.

At this time, behind the ghost fleet, the green aura connecting the two worlds flashed again.

Whoosh!

Edward's fiancée [Headless Horseman] Anne Neville, and her five little sisters who died on the same day and month of the same year jumped aboard the [Pirate City].

After such a long time, they had already adapted to the identity of the Headless Horseman, and each tied their heads to their waists with a gold chain.

Put the head on when you are using it and hang it up when not in use to avoid accidentally losing the head.

Seeing their sudden appearance, Byron, who had been preparing to fight the Armada, felt nervous and asked quickly:

"Miss Anne, why did you come to the material world? Did something happen to Edward and United Pharmaceuticals?"

The Headless Horseman discovered that Byron had misunderstood their sudden visit, and quickly raised his head from his waist, shaking his hands and shaking his head:

"United Pharmaceuticals is fine, and there's nothing wrong with the mission you gave us to monitor the soup of life.

Kraken's Touch, Noah's Ark and Dark Fairy Tale Paradise are all still stalemate beside the bottomless pit, and the three demigods show no sign of ending their battle for the "Ring of the Nibelungs".

Just now, when Edward was studying the [Nightmare] priesthood, he, a lich who never dreams, had a very strange nightmare.

After waking up, he remembered nothing.

He felt that this was not a lucky omen, so he asked us to return to the material world for a while and bring his life box to you, otherwise he would not feel safe. ”

Annie said this, and shyly repeated her fiancé's instructions:

"The promotion of a lich requires fear aura and resentment. It would be great if you can help him collect more during the battle. "

Then he handed a gorgeous sapphire ring to Byron.

To transform into a lich, a ceremony must be held to separate the essence of one's life from the body and seal it in a pre-prepared life box.

The life box can be a box, a sword, jewelry, or anything else that is strong enough.

From then on, this existence will become neither dead nor alive, maintaining a state of neither having life nor committing to death. As long as the life box is safe and sound, he will be safe and sound.

Even if the body is killed, it can be reshaped quickly, just like the great pirate Red Beard.

However, there is a prerequisite: the murderer cannot be too strong.

If a mid-sequence lich is killed by a high-sequence god with a huge gap in rank, even if the life box is intact, it will definitely not save his life.

Byron was relieved to hear that Edward was fine and just had a nightmare, and agreed:

"It's probably because tomorrow is October 31st, the Night of the Dead, and there may be large-scale turmoil such as "Death Stranding" on the edge of the world, which made him accidentally touch the collective subconscious of mankind.

It's not a big problem.

As for the fear aura and resentment, just leave it to me. "

The core ability of a lich is [Fear Aura].

Lich advances by collecting fear aura and resentment. The larger the influence range and the stronger the negative emotions, the better the effect.

It is precisely based on this core ability and the innate characteristics of [Sleeping Man] that Byron gave the [Nightmare] priesthood that he snatched from Kraken to his cousin Edward.

Edward was much stronger than Byron when he was alive. He was already a second-level law mage before Byron's spiritual awakening, but was later left far behind by his cousin.

Until he became the human resources manager of United Pharmaceuticals, he maintained his "terrorist rule" in the company with the words "You have been optimized" and "If you don't do it, there are many undead who will do it", and then he was rapidly promoted to the fourth-level mythical creature. things.

Now that Byron's resources have been tilted, especially many soul gems, they have begun to actively plan to be promoted to the fifth-level pseudo-god, digest the [nightmare] priesthood, and put forward new demands on Byron.

Some people say that the resentment and negative emotions of an office building in modern society are enough to support an evil sword fairy. In fact, Byron just wants to say that this person is too young.

The modern world with developed materials and long-term peace is already the best era.

Some people still want to go back to the past and be a lady in the era of "masters"; some people want to go to the era of "two-legged sheep" and men, women, old and young can "come to the table" to see handsome guys.

It can only be said that these people are too full.

In this era where Byron lives, there are massacres at any time, whether it is fear The scale of spiritual energy and resentment was unimaginable in that peaceful era, not even comparable to a leg hair.

He put on the life box that served as Edward's sapphire ring, and put several headless knights into the kingdom of God.

The powerful navy on the opposite side, which had more than 100 third-level battleships, tens of thousands of soldiers, and a total number of ships close to 1,000, had just collectively jumped to the North Sea through the [Latitude and Longitude Sextant].

According to the written battle plan on the bagasse paper, the navy of the Kingdom of Aragon, the former overlord of the East Sea, was still left in the East Sea to confront the fleet of the Star-Moon Empire, and the remaining invincible fleets almost came out in full force.

At this time, the black mass covered the entire sea, and there was no edge at a glance.

The marines on the ship were in high spirits , with an invincible fleet that has never been defeated, and the world's strongest legendary warship [Holy Trinity], no one thinks that they may lose today.

Byron naturally did not receive any trace of fear aura.

Fleet commander [Orthodox Christian] Fernando II stood on the forecastle of the Holy Trinity, not caring about the life and death of the sailing collector.

Morton was originally a consumable that was about to be scrapped. He just needed to stop the ghost fleet from getting in the way for a short time.

He held a conch and shouted loudly, and the sound rolled across more than ten miles:

"Byron Lancaster, you, the heretic who published heresy with Charles and questioned the creation of the Creator, better come and die obediently.

I can consider leaving you a concrete corpse.

If you continue to resist, after we occupy the North Sea Empire, all Protestants will be killed! "

Perhaps he also knew that Byron would not listen to him.

After shouting to declare his own justice, he immediately ordered nearly 300 battleships above level 4 to be divided into ten squadrons, forming a classic crescent formation and approaching step by step.

The other cruisers were mainly used to transport troops and occupy the territory of the Channel Islands in one fell swoop. They cruised outside and did not join the main battlefield.

This is not over yet.

Fernando II raised his right hand with the secret key seal ring high again, and the [Holy Trinity] under his feet shone brightly, and a cold voice spread throughout the Strait of Dover:

“The Invincible Fleet has dominated the Silver Continent for nearly a hundred years, and your North Sea Empire is the first country to be fortunate enough to experience its true strength.

If you can die in the hands of the real [Invincible Banner], you should die without regrets.

Byron Lancaster, your heavy cruiser fleet cannot make it back in time while overseas, so let me give you a taste of my heavy cruiser fleet.

Turn on the Invincible Fleet title ability! "

Immediately, in full view of everyone, the aura completely enveloped the main fleet, and an illusory flag appeared above the flagship.

There was originally nothing on the flag, but now it quietly appeared like an "invincible" heavily armed cruiser.

Wow.

In Byron's eyes, the pages of the [Logbook] were turning rapidly, and he finally read the complete capabilities of the [Invincible Banner] for the first time:

“The Invincible Banner in the form of a fleet is to weaken others by demoralizing the enemy, while the full version can directly strengthen oneself and become invincible.

When Tudor was a mixed sailing prototype ship, it once had an ability called [Seeing the ship faster]:

‘Coming from a design concept that transcends the entire era, from now on, no matter what ship you encounter on the sea, even those strange warships with special bow images, their speed can be passively faster than the opponent.

As long as the opponent is a ship, it is absolutely impossible to catch up with you. ’

The Invincible Banner is similar. It can anchor the strongest sail warship of this era and achieve its own comprehensive upgrade.

It's like a fleet-level elephant fist, as fast as the enemy, with as much firepower as the enemy, and as maneuverable as the enemy.

Because all sailing ships in the world were derived from the Galenic sailing ship invented by them, their ancestors were destined to dominate the entire age of sailing and navigation! "

call--!

A gust of sea breeze blew by, and the battleship, which had been very clumsy just now with a speed of only two or three knots, suddenly seemed like a god with help, and its speed suddenly soared to 12 knots!

In the past, without the use of extraordinary acceleration, two battleship fleets would go from seeing each other to being in range enough to temporarily cook, eat, and take a nap.

But now if you are not careful, the other party may arrive in an instant.

"Buzz"

There was a sudden commotion in the Iris Fleet. In the blink of an eye, the enemy forces turned into the most advanced heavy cruisers in the world, but they were still ordinary large Galen ships.

"Your Majesty! Hurry up and send the fleet back for reinforcements. Now only they have the power to fight against the Armada."

The faces of Iris' fleet commander and generals turned pale.

They used to be on the opposite side of the Beihai Empire, and no one knew better than them how powerful the heavily armored cruiser was.

Byron waved his hand:

"No, we still have reinforcements."

He jumped onto the bow of the Pirate City with a relaxed expression, and with his fingers in the shape of a gun, he pulled the trigger on Fernando II, whose face was full of swelling and cruelty.

He simulated a sound in his mouth:

"Bang!"

However.

Nothing happened.

Fernando II was startled by him at first, thinking there was some conspiracy behind this strange behavior. After waiting for a few seconds, he couldn't help but mocked:

“Your Majesty Saint Byron, do you want to laugh me to death with performance art?

But I have to admit, your performance was ridiculous. If you are not the head of state, you can consider becoming a theater actor. "

The generals of the Pyrenees Empire behind him also burst into laughter.

Byron's expression remained unchanged, he blew on his fingertips like smoke from a gun and said with a smile:

"Hush, let the shells fly for a while.

20, 19, 18, 17”

In just over twenty seconds, the distance between the two fleets has not been reduced much.

Lines of fire suddenly appeared in the western sky. They rose from the sea level so far away that they could hardly be seen without a telescope. They flew across the sky and landed one after another on top of the westernmost squadron of the Armada.

The flight speed of the artillery shell is about 831 meters/second, and it takes 25 seconds to fly 20 kilometers, which is exactly one second.

Rumble——! ! !

At this moment, Edward's phylactery was almost filled with fear aura.
