Pirate Kingship

As the main force of the Invincible Fleet was annihilated, the resistance forces responsible for the support were also quickly killed.

The Sailboat Collector wanted to take advantage of the Prince of Sorenburg's concern to rescue Byron and turn around and flee.

However, Byron threw the Origin Holy Lance that ate the second section of the Spear of Longinus, and nailed it to the deck with a "puff".

This time he was no longer able to escape by leaving a [Virtual Ship Spirit] like last time, and all the ship spirits under the Fleet in the Bottle disappeared like soap bubbles.

But his nature could not be changed until death, and the last words he struggled to leave were:

"Although the ship-bound spirits of those ghost ships in hell are dry and ugly, they are not bad"

On the other side, on the [Immaculate Conception] that confronted the dragon-headed ship [Valhalla], the lonely king Ferdinand was more decisive than everyone imagined.

As soon as he saw that the situation was not right, he turned around and ran without saying a word.

He took out an ancient nautical chart hidden in his arms, turned around and disappeared quickly.

The Pyrenees Empire was able to borrow the Habsburg's Spear of Longinus from the Holy Silver Empire, of course it was not for nothing.

The collateral was this [Henry's Navigation Chart] that was comparable to a return scroll.

In order to avoid delaying time and being caught by the whale hunters, Ferdinand did not take anyone with him.

Just like the last time he persecuted Protestants in the Electorate of Palatinate and caused a religious war, he once again abandoned his followers and guards and fled alone.

He even left his legendary warship behind.

Only the ship spirit was left to attack left and right, but it was easily captured by Valhalla and the whale hunters.

Unfortunately, Ferdinand took the key seal ring away, and they had no way to control this legendary warship and transform it into the naval power of the North Sea Empire.

Byron raised his hand and a dark river of Styx rolled over, rolling it in completely.

"The material of this ship is a whole Virgin Mary tree, which is just right to serve as the embryo of the [Solar Ship Heliopolis], loaded with a series of taboo knowledge from the original Solar Ship School."

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this ship was an unexpected surprise beyond imagination.

"The image of the Virgin Mary on the [Immaculate Conception] is too much like Isis embracing Horus in the Ennead School of Creation, no, it's the image of Patra embracing Amon.

The temples of the Desert Empire are full of murals and sculptures depicting this myth.

The two are highly compatible.

If you can use this legendary battleship with superior materials to build a solar ship, you will definitely be able to touch the concrete level of truth in the shortest time.

At least you can create a 'mythical battleship' of the zero-level holy relic level, comparable to [Noah's Ark]!

Even if I fail to control the flood in the end, the children will have a chance to escape from this world."

Another legendary battleship [Holy Trinity] was also captured by the group of fifth-level legends and false gods.

Although this warship is more powerful and has obtained the seal ring of Fernando II, the backdoor has always been in the hands of the church.

Without the approval of the Pope and the Council of God, even if the Pyrenees Empire has the key seal ring, it cannot be opened, and it may even counterattack at any time.

Byron also put it away and temporarily sealed it at the bottom of the Styx, deciding to solve the root of the problem first:

"It's almost time to confront the Pope directly. If this problem can be solved, it will still have a chance to see the light of day again.

If this problem cannot be solved, just use the Styx to digest it.

Maybe that "Trinity Statue" can strengthen the [Golden Triangle] of me and my two sisters.

If I'm lucky, I may get a key to intervene in the Kingdom of the Creator and spy on the other party's current situation."

He put away the two most valuable spoils and sent the entire fleet out to chase the fleeing soldiers all over the sea.

In fact, even if this former invincible fleet wanted to escape from the North Sea, it had nowhere to run.

Not to mention that the [Gulf Stream God] and [North Wind God] throughout the territorial waters of the Empire are controlling the ocean currents and sea breezes, even the commerce-breaking fleet has "just happened" to arrive in the North Sea, blocking their retreat.

Byron did not intend to imprison them, nor was he prepared to execute them and turn them into members of the Wild Hunt.

He still had a sense of the overall situation after all.

Only a few steps away from the [Primate Butler], he gradually jumped out of the stereotyped thinking of national competition and began to lean towards the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

This fleet is full of talents, especially the Marine Corps, whose comprehensive quality is higher than that of the North Sea Empire Army.

Those who sincerely surrender will be absorbed, and those who do not surrender will be locked up for three months.

They used the longitude and latitude sextant. If they cannot "run out on the ground" within three months, they will all have to settle on the moon.

Byron believed that the ownership of this huge fleet would be settled in two months at most.

When the finishing work was completed, the navy towed thousands of warships back to the port one by one.

Byron looked up and found that it was past midnight. He had come to the key node he saw in the "limited omniscience" state - October 31st.

It stands to reason that after another day, it would be the "Night of the Dead" tonight.

But just after midnight, large patches of dark clouds gathered from all directions over the Silver Continent, covering the entire sky and the smallest starlight.

The weather intuition blessed by the [Sky] priesthood made Byron 100% sure that there would be no daytime today, and from now until tomorrow, November 1st, "All Saints' Day", it would be pitch dark.

In other words, the "Night of the Dead" has come early!

Byron subconsciously touched the hilt of the Sword in the Stone, and his heart was alarmed:

"This is not a natural phenomenon, but a powerful power from a high-level existence.

The range can cover the entire Silver Continent, and the one who took action must be a sixth-level demigod, not an ordinary demigod."

With the help of the "limited omniscience" state at the time, Byron had long realized that if he could not end the battle before October 31, he would be in big trouble.

There will definitely be a terrifying enemy of the old god level.

This is why Catherine detonated the tulip bubble in advance and induced the invincible fleet to advance.

It is also because of this that the Round Table Resolution of the Zero-level Holy Relic Sword in the Stone, the new title ability Solar Storm, the Three Religious Holy Cities, the magic electromagnetic slingshot, the hegemony and other abilities that have been obtained are all useless.

Only by using the conventional means of gathering the power of the crowd, at most activating the [Change] priesthood once, the "Death of the Son of God" that the Orthodox Alliance has kept in the bottom of the box was broken.

He was still in full condition until now, just waiting for a certain old god to jump out so that he could go all out and fight his way out.

Seeing this abnormal scene in the sky, he was naturally extremely vigilant.

He didn't have to wait for long. The strange phenomenon in the sky was just the beginning. Just five minutes after the heavy clouds covered the Silver Continent.

Hualala.

In the military port facing the Strait of Dover behind Byron, a strange sound of water suddenly came.

[Underworld] priests also gave early warning in their spirituality.

He immediately turned around and waved his hand to roll up a gust of wind, sweeping away all the soldiers in the area with a diameter of 100 meters.

Then he shouted:

"Be alert! Prepare to meet the enemy!"

The next moment.

Gray water vapor appeared on the ground, and a pitch-black fountain like asphalt burst out, quickly forming a huge pond.

Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! .

The sound of countless bloody handprints hitting the ground, the plank road, and the ship's side walls merged into one, as if countless invisible and intangible things with human hands were crawling at a rapid speed.

If Byron hadn't reacted in time, I don't know how many soldiers would have been dragged into the water in this sudden wave of "death stranding".

Of course, the main reason is that during this Gulf War, too many dead souls appeared nearby, providing an anchor point for the death stranding accident.

The material world has entered the intertidal zone, and the external environment is half water and half land.

The dead undead may fall into a state of no one, resulting in being stranded in the real world, unable to go to the edge of the world, and cannot be considered truly alive.

Become a special evil spirit [Lost Homelander]!

All their anchors with the entire world are completely cut off, and even the spiritual vision of ordinary extraordinary people cannot see this strange existence that exists in the gap between life and death.

Only special extraordinary people and treasures who can also touch this intermediate state can see and touch these lost homelanders.

When Byron gave the order, the soldiers around him immediately lined up, pulled the bolts with a "click", and loaded the bullets.

A trace of the power of law fell, and Byron's [Hades] authority and [fertility] authority gave the law network the power to intervene in the gap between life and death, easily breaking the invisibility of these evil spirits.

It also allowed the soldiers to see the true appearance of those lost people.

They generally maintained their human form, but their skin was dark blue, and their whole bodies were covered with a layer of boiling blood mist, looking like they had just crawled out of a pool of asphalt.

"Fire!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Unlike the normal performance in the previous battle with the Invincible Fleet, this time the bullets hit the evil spirits and immediately burst into a ball of red light, blowing them into ashes.

Ordinary whale oil bullets had a power comparable to dragon breath bullets.

"Death Stranding" was not a sudden accident, but a foreseeable thing after the church executed the "Protestant Massacre Order".

Byron had already passed on fire to his soldiers on a large scale. Of course, he certainly didn't do it the way he passed on fire to the queen.

No matter what kind of evil spirit it was, as long as the soldiers held the fire of the [Sun King], they would gain special attacks.

With this, the lost people were beaten back by the soldiers as soon as they showed their heads.

However, the number of deaths this time was too large, and the pulling force from the underworld pulled the big guy out in the opposite direction, dragging an ancient warship from the edge of the flooded world to the material world.

Rifle bullets were useless against it.

"Get out of the way, let me do it!"

The guardian knight [Iron Wall] Bruch stepped out of the crowd and strode forward.

The Sun Holy Sword in his hand swallowed and spit out flames, and his whole body turned into a bright fire man from the inside out.

The golden red burning aura overflowed from his body, which was somewhat similar to the holy light of the paladin that restrained evil spirits and clans, but it was obviously more domineering.

Bruch's mythical form is a three-headed red dragon, which perfectly matches Byron's [Solar Storm] fire ability, and his combat power has jumped to become the first person under the fifth level of the North Sea Empire.

His feet suddenly stepped on the ground, and the whole person was launched like a cannonball, waving the holy sword with both hands and slashing fiercely.

Boom!

The ancient warship that looked like a paddle boat, along with the asphalt pool under it, was cut into two parts by this blazing sword.

The anchor point between the edge of this world and the material world also collapsed instantly.

The remaining asphalt-like seawater quickly evaporated under the blazing high temperature, as if it had never appeared.

Byron saw the sword of his own guardian knight and nodded slightly:

"Bruch has also reached the limit of the fourth level, and it is almost time to plan the ascension ceremony.

Alfred, Bazhi, Gus and others all learned forbidden knowledge of the [Night Demon] path. The key to the promotion ceremony is to gain greater power.

This matter is difficult and easy.

The most direct way is for me to give them a great title.

The higher the power of the position or title, the faster they will be promoted.

It just so happens that a large piece of land was discovered in the middle of the Storm Ocean. After exploring that continent and spreading the legal network there, they will be enfeoffed there.

That piece of land is so vast that it would be no problem to establish dozens or hundreds of duchies and marquises on it, not to mention the officers who followed me at the beginning. "

Theoretically, every time a Night Demon usurps power, his title is upgraded by one level.

In those Night Demon kingdoms, the third level is baron and viscount; the fourth level is earl and marquis; the fifth level is duke, prince, and prince.

When developing the wilderness, the feudal system is more applicable and efficient than the seemingly more advanced centralized system.

Use the national and wild system to continue to branch out, turn all those savages into nationals, and incorporate them into the existing collective subconscious sea.

As long as the Night Demon members of the Demon Banquet Council can find their own immortal ladder, the fifth level of the First Empire of the Sun Never Sets may be able to achieve a blowout in the next one or two years.

However, the death stranding accident on the shore has just been resolved, and there is no time to breathe.

Byron heard one bad news after another:

"Report to Your Majesty, there is a death stranding in the church cemetery of Shannon Port, Clare County."

"Report to Your Majesty, there is a death stranding in the church cemetery of Portsmouth Port, Hampshire."

"There are death strandings in the Evernight Peninsula, the Iris Kingdom, and the Netherlands Kingdom. ”

This kind of extraordinary disaster, which was not common in the first place, broke out all at once and spread all over the east coast.

This is not over yet.

"My Lord, there was a death stranding in the Zoroastrian Empire, but we are in the desert, so the situation is not serious."

"My Lord, there were sporadic death strandings in the Star-Moon Empire. I have dealt with them in time and no additional assistance is needed."

Nasserdin the Desert Eagle and Bayezid the Conqueror of Fatih also reported the situation in their own countries and sent the accident distribution map monitored by the Law Network.

The west coast is full of deserts and deserts, and there has been no large-scale religious massacres. The situation is obviously much better than the east coast.

But no matter how good or bad the situation is, this round of random death strandings has undoubtedly caused a large number of casualties. If left alone, the casualties will increase sharply.

The situation in those countries outside the First Empire of the Sun, where no one knows how many Protestants have died, will only be worse than them.

Byron could even clearly hear the wailing sound from [Alaya].

He hurriedly raised his foot and stomped on the ground, and shouted softly:

"God of the Road, come out! "

A natural spirit driving a carriage emerged from the soil and saluted him.

"Ministry of War!"

Several army generals, led by his cousin and father-in-law, the Marquis Neville, also immediately responded and saluted.

Byron threw the virtual map with the accident distribution marked on it to them and ordered:

"According to the No. 1 plan issued by the Privy Council, send a rapid response team to put out the fire immediately.

All death stranding accidents in the empire must be extinguished before dawn today."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The group immediately left in a hurry.

The road god has the ability to transport troops with the help of the earth vein nodes. A small number of elite troops can move quickly and deal with emergencies in the shortest time.

"Bruch, Alfred, you two each lead a team to support Iris and the Netherlands."

"Yes, Your Majesty. "

The two right hands of the king also set off with their direct subordinates.

Byron arranged everything, but he was still nervous, thinking to himself:

"Even limited omniscience can't see clearly what will happen on October 31st.

Even if a large-scale death stranding is a big problem, it is impossible for the North Sea Empire to be seriously injured.

The old god who hid will definitely come down in person!

But why hasn't he made any move until now? If the North Sea Empire is not his target, then where will the other party land? "

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked up towards the heart of the continent, in the direction of the City of Seven Hills.

It was as if he was answering his question.

A beam of light emitting a strong ominous and corrupt aura suddenly rose up, changing from the silver-white of the holy light to a dull silver-gray, and then exuding a creepy black-red from the inside out.

Although there was a sense of hasty launch and obvious congenital deficiency.

But not only the City of Seven Hills, the core of the law, but also the peripheral legal network with every surrounding country as the legal node was rapidly polluted and assimilated by it.

In the core of the network, a towering mountain that pierced the sky slowly rose from the ground.

No need to be knowledgeable , just by looking at it, you can instinctively know its name - the Creation Mountain!

Byron felt like a thorn in his back, and felt a series of needle-like pains from his back to the back of his head. If he left it alone, he would surely be in great trouble.

At the same time, the logbook turned pages quickly.

[Secret: The Corruption of the Pope and the Council of Gods, Historical Influence 69] The solution density jumped from 42% to 57%.

[Secret: Prophecy, Kingship, and the Prophecy of the Racial Revival of the Wild Hunt God Woden, Historical Influence 69] The solution density jumped from 91% to 95%.

The City of Seven Hills, where the Apostolic Basilica and the [Golden Holy Ark] are located, has obviously had a big incident.

The Holy Silver Empire had already suffered heavy losses in the first round of religious wars between the princes, with more than 40% of the population wiped out.

Three-quarters of the population of Wittenberg, the core of the battlefield, died, 65% of the population of Pomerania died, and a quarter of the population of Silesia died.

Nearly half of the men in the states of the Holy Silver Empire died or were massacred.

Even the sky was often covered with a layer of blood.

These are only the figures from the main war zones. Some small towns in the corners were completely wiped out and turned into ghost towns.

The silver law hole above the empire is getting bigger and bigger, and this land is getting more and more dangerous.

Not to mention going out on the "Night of the Dead", even if you walk here in broad daylight, you must always be vigilant about whether there will be evil spirits and grotesques jumping out to eat people.

Of course, the Seven Hills City, as the core parish of the Creator Church, will certainly not be affected by the war.

On the contrary, because a large number of people from the surrounding city-states fled here, the permanent population has almost doubled.

However, when Byron followed the guidance of [Alaya] and rushed here at the fastest speed, he suspected that he had come to a dead city.

Amita, who was wearing a black tights and holding the handle of a scimitar, sniffed the city with a vague outline along the night wind, and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, there is a strong smell of blood and sulfur. The [Assassination] priesthood told me that there are probably not many living people in the city."

Byron only brought Amita, who needed the head of St. John or the Pope to complete his own [God of Assassination] promotion ceremony.

The situation of the church is unclear, and the team can fight and run, with a higher tolerance rate.

If support is really needed, you can also transfer through the Kingdom of God at any time and summon long-range firepower.

The city in front of the two people has long lost its former glory and is shrouded in a layer of fog, as if it was dragged into an alternate dimension to form a huge secret realm.

Their [God's Vision] has also been greatly suppressed.

There were a bunch of pumpkin-head lanterns at the gate of the deserted city, as if the residents had foreseen the abnormal celestial phenomena today and celebrated the Night of the Dead in advance.

Although there was a sense of weirdness everywhere, the two still walked into the city without hesitation and headed straight for the Apostolic Basilica of St. Peter.

Just after passing an empty intersection, they heard several hoarse voices coming from far away in the fog:

"Trick or treat if you don't give me candy."

"Trick or treat if you don't give me candy."

"."

Soon, five or six figures dressed as ghosts according to the custom of the Night of the Dead rushed towards them at a trot.

Some people had burnt faces, some wore ghostly white robes, and some were painted into scary clown makeup that made people shudder at a glance.

According to the tradition of the church countries, on October 31st of each year, the souls of the deceased will return to their hometowns to find substitutes and "reborn".

Living people fear ghosts and evil spirits, so they put out the fire and candlelight on this day, and dress themselves up as demons and ghosts to conceal their identities so that the ghosts cannot find the living.

At the same time, they will also place delicious food in front of their homes for the ghosts to enjoy, to please them so that they will not do evil and eat people.

This is the prototype of "trick or treat if you don't give them candy".

Therefore, if the residents of the Silver Continent go out on this night, they can't tell whether the person walking by is a human or a ghost.

A taboo must be strictly observed:

"Even if you find ghosts and evil spirits, you can't reveal their identities. Once you reveal them or don't meet their demands, you will be besieged and eaten."

As for the demons and ghosts who came to ask for candy?

Byron saw it clearly, there was no living person in it!

It was extremely ironic that a hundred ghosts actually staged a night parade in the Seven Hills City, the church base.

"Only ghosts and evil spirits are left walking on the road. Where are the hundreds of thousands of mortals?"

Even though Byron had already guessed the Pope's corruption, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart at this moment.
