Pirate Kingship

clang! clang! clang!

The solemn bells echoing above the ancient pillars have never stopped since the beginning. The long steps go straight into the sky to anchor the immortal steps chosen by themselves, dyeing the clouds all over the sky into boundless gold.

The "St. Byron Code" that spread to the entire continent was manifested layer by layer, and the majestic ducal castles built on the floating islands echoed their masters.

Byron and Violet, who presided over the canonization ceremony, stood on the towering tree stump left after Nova's main trunk was chopped down, overlooking the entire Ancient Pillar Continent.

As more than a dozen stars lit up, the turbulent source of energy tide apparently calmed down.

When Byron was still exploring this continent, as the emperor of mankind, he signed the "Permit to Open the Crenel" to his right hand and capable generals.

After successfully recruiting Nova to join the School of the Holy Spear of Origin, he immediately sent out infrastructure madmen to start building the first intercontinental railway and captured crypt dwarf slaves to invest in large-scale infrastructure.

Soon, more than a dozen simple principalities were established in the northwest of the ancient pillar continent, which has rich mineral resources, and in the southeast, where the climate is pleasant and agriculture and animal husbandry are developed.

Although these castles and territories were hastily built by the "infrastructure madman" within two months, they are still very shabby and crude.

However, they are the most important strategic and economic locations in the continent, and have the strongest development foundation. They are run through by planned railway lines, and have high-quality potential to become a large city with a population of one million.

Violet, dressed in a rich dress, had sparkling eyes and couldn't help but sigh:

“At the beginning, we only had one Level 4 hero [Child Guard] Dennis in Anchor Bay, and besides the King, there was only one Kingdom Guardian Hawkins in Hattings.

When the troops were raised, there was only one Golden Deer and one Blazing Rose.

The two of us also experienced many difficulties and dangers before we could successfully reach high-level.

At that time, I simply didn’t dare to think that in just a few years the country would be able to confer so many fifth-level Night Demon Dukes at once, which would be as heroic as purchasing goods from the wet market. "

Byron also nodded in agreement:

“This is the significance of the qualitative change of the legal network.

Although there are many local extraordinary crypt gnomes, the total number exceeds 30 million, and they also constitute the main body of these slave principalities. They can provide us with massive amounts of willpower in the form of labor.

But without the foundation of industrialization, it would not be able to support such a large consumption and control such a large empire.

I believe that with the technological explosions and productivity leaps in the future, it will not be a dream for us to directly canonize a sixth-level demigod. We can just set up a random position and it will be the priesthood of a personal god!

Eldest lady, let’s give birth to Vivian when we break through the sixth level. By then, she will become a fifth-level pseudo-goddess as soon as she lands. "

Speaking of her daughter who is still in her belly, Violet also smiled with crooked eyebrows:

"OK."

It is better to control yourself than to control your children. The end point of the lifelong efforts of a very small number of elites in mankind is only the starting point for their children.

The Lancastrian royal family finally came out on top.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Night Demon Dukes, who accepted the canonization and completed their promotions one by one, restrained their unique mythical form, fell back to the ground, and knelt down on one knee in front of Byron and Violet.

Among the objects of this canonization, the two queens Catherine and Violet in the King's right hand do not need this.

Prime Minister [Necromancer Knight] Andrew and chariot cousin [Lich] Edward are both at the edge of the world.

At this time, he was conquering the city with his father and Alexander, the former president of the Lighthouse Federation who decisively avoided the detour of ten years after receiving the invitation to join United Pharmaceuticals.

The knight's cousin [Miracle Mage] Salant is rebuilding the ten undersea kingdoms and building a new line of defense, and he has a large family fortune to inherit.

In the right hand of the remaining king, there is Bruch, the chariot [Iron Wall], and Alfred, the knight [Blood Whiskey].

Guard [Honest Man] Eight Fingers, Guard [Phantom Blade] Gus, Guard [Chameleon] Jacqueline, Guard [Gunner] Wyandotte, Guard [Shipwright] Little Hans, Guard [Navigator] Delia Everyone has a share.

Other quotas include the former general of the Kingdom of Castile and the former emperor of the Azik Empire [Conqueror] Cortez; the church adherents and representative of the Holy Silver Empire [Swordmaster] Dubler Epee Herman ;

The great shaman of the Holy Golden Empire [Mountain Demonic Bear] Sihuatl is also the first fourth-level mythical creature among the Tainos;

Among the ethnic groups in the Gulf, Count Hordaland, who carried out the "Kalma War Remonstrance" on the Yongye Peninsula to eliminate the church sect;

The earliest survivor of the Lancastrian party, the current commander of the break-up fleet, the Storm Knight [the enemy's first opportunity] Beretania;

Ivanka, the pirate warlord [Candy Witch] in Black Sails Pirates; Thomas Neville, the representative of the Hattings family and father of sister-in-law Anne Neville;

Aunt Meganila, the representative of the Iris Kingdom; Aya, the main queen who ran away from home to seek refuge in the Empire of the Sun and was transformed into a family by Byron; and mother-in-law Vanessa, who has been stuck in the fourth level of the Disaster Witch for many years.

There are a total of eighteen in total, two more than the normal full-capacity King's Right Hand.

Including Byron's core team and outstanding representatives of all forces in the empire.

This scale has almost reached the limit that the current legal level and industrialization level of the First Empire can bear.

There has never been a monarch in history who could gather all the members of the fifth-level "King's Right Hand". Byron should be regarded as unprecedented and unprecedented.

Without a few years of accumulation, it should be impossible to hold such a large-scale enthronement ceremony.

Moreover, after the rise of the First Empire of the Sun Never Sets, with their group of immortal rulers, it is highly likely that a second empire that can rival it will not be born.

Each Night Demon Duke repeatedly swore allegiance in front of Byron, and Byron encouraged and praised their achievements one by one.

"My respected captain, your beloved Majesty, you have taken over as the president of the 'Lighthouse Union' and become the new [Fire Thief].

But until now, all personnel have not been summoned to deploy new work.

Before leaving, my father said that he knew you were busy, and he would ensure that the Lighthouse Union and the zero-level holy relic, the Farrows Lighthouse, would never have any problems during your absence.

I want to wait for you to go to the Farrows Lighthouse next time, and he wants to hold a special banquet to thank you for your gift to the Maxwell family."

The new Night Demon Grand Duchess Delia anchored the Immortal Ladder "Flame of Hope", the divine name [Night Navigation Light], and her platinum-gold long hair shone brightly under the divine aura.

Her father is the Vice President of the Lighthouse Union, the fifth-rank legendary navigator [Spark] Rudolph.

The old man asked his daughter to follow Byron because he was optimistic about his future and thought he would become a big man in the next ten years, so he invested in advance.

I didn't expect Delia to be able to get to this point. There was actually an immortal god in the family.

At this time, even if [Spark] Rudolph dragged his whole family to sell themselves to Byron, he would be willing, and his loyalty was directly off the charts.

There is absolutely no problem in handing over the daily operation of the Lighthouse Union to him and Delia.

Byron took a look at the inherited title [Fire Thief] on his head and the core capabilities of the Farrows Lighthouse, and smiled and nodded to his core crew member:

"Yes, just tell Mr. Rudolph for me to be ready. I will activate the Farrows Lighthouse at any time."

"Yes, my majesty."

Delia respectfully lifted her skirt and saluted. They were not only monarchs and ministers, but also the main gods and followers of the gods. The Night Demon Emperor and the blood family were absolutely iron-clad and could not be cut off.

Except for the president of the Lighthouse Union, no one knew the true purpose of the zero-level holy relic of the Farrows Lighthouse, and how to activate it. She only needed to follow the order without any compromise.

"Your Majesty."

Bruch, dressed in a neat admiral uniform, walked in front of Byron with his wife [Fairy] Rigeler. As soon as he opened his mouth to call out, his eyes immediately turned red.

This guardian knight who grew up with Byron made the most extreme choice. The immortal ladder anchored was the "royal power" of Byron, the [Sun King], and the divine name [Sun Holy Wall].

If Byron loses his country, he will be the first to die!

The Bruch family is the steward of the Prince of Sorenburg, and is also a downtrodden noble who has long lost his territory.

One hundred years ago, when his ancestors were at their most prominent, they were just viscounts.

When he was at his most destitute, he himself became a slave locked in a cage and almost died in the hands of the slave-catching team.

After that, he followed Byron, the young master, to start a second business, and the situation turned around in the blink of an eye.

He got everything that many generations dreamed of, including a beautiful wife who was just a spy at the beginning, a divine position, a title, eternal life, territory, and wealth. All were given to him by Byron.

He subconsciously looked back at Rigeler, who was full of happiness, and her slightly bulging belly.

Even though they were apart for a long time, they had their own children after such a long marriage. The Bruch family will soon have branches and leaves, and there is hope for the future.

I have seen many low points of human beings in the aristocratic circle.

Byron has achieved success but has not forgotten his old friends. This master is really good!

Bruch thought about it and it seemed that there was nothing he could do to repay his master except absolute loyalty.

If his master needed it, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his eternal life.

Although nothing was said, the tacit understanding from childhood to adulthood allowed them to understand each other's meaning with just a glance. Byron just patted Bruch's shoulder hard and returned his "absolute loyalty" with "absolute trust".

He activated the [fertility] priesthood and gave the highest level of blessing to Regrell and her daughter.

The situation of others was similar.

Except for Vanessa, Violet's mother-in-law, who had previously offered four crowns and four kingdoms as a dowry to Violet, no one felt comfortable taking the throne.

In fact, this large-scale canonization of dukes was indeed against the rules. Many of them did not make enough contributions to match the duke's title to convince others.

Of course, Byron did not completely copy the traditional model of noble fiefdoms.

"Feudalism" refers to the establishment of states. Although they now have dukedoms, they only have castles that symbolize their status and some industries, and do not have direct management rights over the territories.

Most of the power of finance, taxation, military affairs, and administration is also mainly in the charge of specialized officials.

In the end, only a certain proportion of the income will be given to the lord, which is usually referred to as enfeoffment without construction.

In addition, the dukes and a series of titles of the First Empire of the Sun Never Sets are now linked to the throne of God. The top leaders do not need to cultivate a large number of believers themselves, but the emperor allocates the will and anchor.

So it is more of a gift than a reward.

No one could have any objection, everyone was overjoyed and thought they had gotten a huge advantage.

If the news spreads, I don't know how many powerful territorial nobles in various countries will rush to exchange with them, and even secretly slander Byron as a nepotist and unfair.

But as long as Byron is here, no one dares to speak out or make any substantive small actions.

His uncle Henry VI once told him.

A monarch must always consider the interests of the country. The interests of the collective are limited. You have the power to distribute the cake. In the end, someone will benefit and someone will lose.

The more people who benefit and the greater the influence, the more successful the country will be and the more successful the monarch will be.

The most perfect monarch should be a ruthless fighting machine, a decision-making machine, fighting for the interests of the entire country on behalf of the citizens.

In the end the monarch has only two friends: the navy and the army.

With the invention of the ornithopter in the North Sea Empire, the organic air force should be launched sooner or later, becoming Byron's third "friend".

Human beings who are good at the forbidden air field have ended the civil war. Whether it is ornithopters or airships, they should be able to use them when fighting the Familia.

As long as he holds the most loyal and core gun barrel, all other noises are irrelevant.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

On the other hand, if a monarch saves money by cutting down the army in order to ensure that the people, non-core supporters, neutrals, and opposition parties have food to eat, this will infringe on the interests of his core supporters.

Then the army will betray you in the end, and others will betray you in the end.

Although it is a bit politically incorrect, the reality is so cold and cruel.

Because people will not always be satisfied with eating bread, and the resources in the hands of the monarch are always limited.

Unless the ability of the [Deception] priesthood is projected onto the moon and drags everyone into a dream, only dreams can have everything.

No wonder some people lamented: "All the white coins were scattered to the poor, what a sin!" Then they invariably implemented Songun politics when supplies were scarce.

Therefore, Byron’s principles for the core team are:

"Brother, you eat meat and you drink soup? No, no, no, I won't enjoy this honor exclusively. You guys also eat meat with me!"

In the end, the infinite gratitude in the hearts of each of the successfully promoted Night Demon Dukes turned into a heartfelt cry: "Loyalty!"

At this moment, the triple crown of [Emperor of Mankind] on Byron's head became even more dazzling.

However, what Byron gained in this wave was not just a large number of powerful Night Demon Dukes.

Don’t forget, there is a new entry on him: [How can I become the emperor of mankind if you don’t work hard? 】

"Expand the scope of collective power. The more extraordinary people you have under your command and the higher your rank, the faster your spirituality and spiritual realm will grow.

Just like an intermediary, you can continue to receive feedback from every promotion of your own people.

The spirituality they improve through daily meditation will stir up the pure spirituality precipitated in the sea of ​​human collective subconsciousness, and a share equivalent to one thousandth of the increase will belong to you.

After many layers of condensation, he was promoted to the level of demigod, which is no different from what he got through his own practice.

You can also designate specific groups of people to share the profits. "

This is an additional public resource leveraged from the collective subconscious of mankind. It has no owner in the first place and will not take away the fruits of the people's practice.

Today, Byron canonized 18 Night Demon Dukes in one fell swoop thanks to his wishful thinking and world influence. The pure spirituality and spiritual realm they leveraged naturally flowed into Byron's body.

His spirituality has already exceeded the normal fifth-level limit of 25 points, and now it has soared all the way, quickly reaching 27 points. Even with the growth of the three of them together, it is stronger than many demigods who have been promoted for many years.

At the same time, such a large group of fifth-level Night Demon Dukes merged into Byron's belief network, and the three divine kingdoms of Huashan Heavenly Kingdom, Golden Mist Palace, and Financial Street were quickly lifted into the material world.

Divinity and the ladder of immortality are also constantly being forged together, and the transformation progress of immortal divinity is increasing rapidly.

Byron seemed to have vaguely heard the sound of "ding, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong".

At the same time, the realm of "all things are unified" has also increased.

After Byron obtained the [Snake of the World], he relied on this person to control the entire planet's sky-sea vapor circulation, and gradually controlled the world's "ocean circulation transmission belt."

Water is the source of life. As long as you master this circulation transmission belt, you can master the life cycle system of the entire world in disguise.

Byron used himself as a medium to anchor the legal network of human collective subconsciousness and integrate with the spiritual cycle of the natural world.

His idea is very simple. How can it be so narrow-minded? Humans themselves are part of the natural world.

Equity in the material world is not given to us?

Let's get it together!

In the past two months, the state of "all things are unified" has been rising, and now it has jumped to 38%, getting closer and closer to the 50% threshold of becoming the primate steward [Alaya].

In the past, the Triple Crown of the Pope was barely comparable to the [Human Emperor], but that was a status granted by the Creator, and no matter how well one did, one could not break through to the sixth level.

The human emperor is different. The future has unlimited possibilities.

How strong the human race is, how strong this crown is. Even if it breaks through the sky one day and is promoted to the seventh level, it is definitely not a dream.

Creak!

Byron clenched his fist. The ripples of power that shattered mountains and divided seas were just born, and were dispersed again by the powerful control force.

I feel like I can easily defeat myself now when Lucifer first came.

However, what was more obvious than the changes in spirituality and the crown was the gradually boiling tide of source around him. Byron had a strong premonition:

"It's almost time. The [World Change] ritual has begun to count down.

We don't have the danger of exploding when the sun god is promoted. If we are not careful, we will fall into dystocia for several months and be half dead. The only thing left is to break through today or tomorrow."

The widespread use of steam engines and machines becoming the main mode of industrial production are the signs of the completion of the industrial revolution.

The industrialization revolution of their whale oil has been advancing, and it is carried out simultaneously with the dumping and financial crisis in the first two steps of the ritual.

Catherine has already invested all the primitive accumulation of capital over the years.

Various factories have sprung up, and a powerful textile industry, metallurgical industry, whale oil industry, machinery industry and transportation industry have been established from scratch.

Machine mass production has unprecedentedly improved labor productivity, allowing them to almost completely monopolize the international market.

The number of whale oil steam engines has soared to 20,000 units, and steel production has exceeded three-quarters of the current entire material world.

With the market, resources, and a large population, the First Empire of the Sun Never Sets naturally transformed into the world's first industrial country, with influence radiating the entire material world.

And the military industry they valued most.

In just a few months, the second fleet of ten dreadnoughts has been launched, and the third dreadnought fleet has been half built.

The whale oil mechanics have grown rapidly with the orders from the Ministry of the Navy, and the shipbuilding technology of major shipyards has become more and more mature. The speed of launching new ships will only get faster and faster in the future.

Today, they were pushed from behind by this group of night sky dukes.

Not only Byron, but also Catherine and Violet clearly felt that the critical point was coming.

Any steam engine that was turned on next could completely ignite the "fire of change" for them to be promoted to demigods!

Even with Byron and the two queens who were used to the wind and rain, they were a little uneasy at this time.

At the dinner held at the Sunshine Coast of the Dukedom of Bruch in the evening, Byron was always distracted and had to look at the "progress bar" every two seconds.

He originally thought that the night would pass peacefully in such a wait until he was promoted, but was suddenly interrupted by a message.

It was Atahualpa who stayed in the Empire of the Sun who sent an urgent communication:

"Your Majesty, the Sun God Inti can't hold on!"

Byron was stunned:

"How could it be so fast? I have curbed the 'Prayer Syndrome', and the chains on His body have not been completely tightened. Theoretically, he can at least hold on for another half a month, right?"

Atahuallpa shook his head:

"I don't know, I only know that He suddenly left his laboratory and appeared in the sky city of Machu Picchu.

While everyone was not paying attention, he swallowed up the strongest [Founder] and [Death Dark Sun] in one bite."

Hearing this, Byron immediately realized that he had overlooked the humanity of the Sun God Inti.

This Sun God, who was used to eating his own descendants, had already started to kill his descendants in advance before he reached a dead end, trying to break free with sufficient "fuel" or "prove the way with force" to forcibly break through the demigod.

"However, neither of them was digested immediately, and they are still resisting violently."

"Not dead?"

This news was somewhat unexpected to Byron, and then he heard Atahualpa explain:

"The founder of the Empire of the Sun, Manco, quietly condensed a powerful priesthood without anyone knowing.

My instinct as a son of the sun tells me that it is the [Four Basic Elements: Fire]!"
