Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 107: Fighting the Sea Monster and Shocking the Fleet
"Hey——!"

With a sharp scream, the thick tentacle, which was at least five or six meters long, fell dejectedly onto the deck of the Golden Deer.

It keeps twisting in pain and looks so fresh. It will definitely make your tongue explode if made into sashimi!

Even better, the [Dragon Dung Potion] hasn't contaminated this place yet.

Can be eaten raw!

"Let's go ahead and grab the Captain's dinner."

Second mate Gus and boatswain Eight Fingers brought a group of marines to suppress the tentacles immediately, knowing that their captain liked this.

Byron's attention was not on this.

The exhilarating swing of the sword just now made him suspect that he seemed to have once again reached a higher level of swordsmanship with [Storm Swordsmanship].

The last time I felt this way was when Valhalla was on the verge of death by the sling.

"As long as I do this a few more times, I should be able to completely grasp that divinely-assisted feeling and allow [Swordsmanship Mastery] to reach the realm of 'Flow'."

While Captain Byron was showing off his prowess, the others were not idle either.

Without waiting for the sharp scream, the two-gun squid continued its attack.

Little Hans, who had been guarding the side of the ship and waiting for his captain to come back riding a shark, did not throw any potion, but finally smashed a bottle of medicine on the side of the ship.

But this is not the most common [Dragon Dung Potion], but the juice of the fish poison tree.

A top-quality product provided by Violet, a third-level craftsman.

The raw material is a fruit called Bilu Rui.

After being prepared, it can cause fish to suffocate to death, but the fish meat will not be affected at all. Therefore, it is also called fish poison tree and sea poison tree.

Any organism that breathes through gills will be affected by it, but those that breathe through lungs will not.

Underwater seawater carrying venom flowing through the gills of fish will poison them. Even if they run far away and dilute it with a large amount of clean seawater, they will become weak after a period of time.

At this time, yellow-green manure water continued to flow in from the direction of the large fleet, and the smell was so strong that it was a bit irritating to the eyes.

The two-gun squid soon realized that someone had poisoned the feces water that was already unbearable for the sea monster!

It gradually becomes unable to breathe.

Faced with the crisis of death, he no longer cared about hunting and quickly abandoned the Golden Deer again, swimming towards clean waters away from the large fleet.

Under normal circumstances, an encounter between humans and sea monsters would have ended like this.

In naval battles, even warships found it difficult to sink each other, and the outcome was mostly decided by boarding battles, not to mention the more maneuverable sea monsters.

Unless a third-level transcendent takes action personally, repelling them is the best outcome.

But this time meeting Byron was different.

The world's fastest three-masted ship, the Golden Hind, immediately shot out like an arrow, leaving behind other supporting privateers and chasing after it.

The light emitted by the [Guiding Light] also shifted with the battlefield and arrived above their heads.

It was like stage lighting, turning them into the focus of the entire fleet.

Byron personally took control of the steering wheel, suddenly turned the rudder hard to the right, and shouted to the front:
"The sea monster in front, surrender quickly!"

The only response he got was the splash of water from a few tentacles.

"Very well, if you dare not surrender, you will be killed, marked with hatred!"

A mark that is invisible to the naked eye suddenly appeared on the giant squid.

The bow in the hand of [Figurehead·Angel of Vengeance] also shot out a ray of light, covering all the artillery on his own warship and giving them temporary blessings.

30% trajectory correction, which effectively increases the hit rate by 30%.

The native gunner Wyandot, who was just one step away from hitting the enemy ship with three consecutive shells during the promotion ceremony, suddenly became excited.

"Reload on the starboard side, shotgun, target the small-sized double-gun squid, concentrate fire on the entire ship!"

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Seven six-pound cannons and a 32-pound carronade on each side fired together.

Continuous artillery fire roared, and the orange-red flames illuminated the foggy sea.

A metallic storm with a strong smell of gunpowder suddenly covered all the sea monster's dodging space.

Even though it instinctively hid in the water, it still took in a lot of bullets because it was in a weak state where it couldn't breathe, and its screams became more and more shrill.

The hit rate is frighteningly high.

"Very good! Reload and continue the pursuit."

At the same time, a blood-red light flashed in the depths of Byron's eyes.

Under the water, 20 man-eating sharks swung their tails and rushed towards the double-gun squid.

They followed their master Byron through one naval battle after another and ate one buffet dinner after another.

I don’t know how many extraordinary people it has eaten.

Just like a group of adolescent children, they grow taller and look different every day.

The largest one is ten meters long, and the others are an average of seven meters long.

Who knows, one day a true [sea monster] that breaks through the limits of race will suddenly be born there!
On the other hand, the fish poison in the squid gradually took effect, making its resistance weaker and weaker.

Even if you swing your tentacles to knock a shark away, you will be bitten by more sharks.

At the same time, a group of man-eating sharks entangled the giant squid and bit it madly, forcing it to surface again. Boom!
Wyandot saw the opportunity and fired again decisively.

The second shot cut off the upper half of the triangular fin on the opponent's head.

The third shot hit the bull's eye, and the solid bullet from the 32-pound cannon forced the sea cucumber out of the opponent's head, tearing the entire head into pieces.

"Roar! We won!"

"Hail, long live the captain!"

Cheers echoed through the sky.

Wyandotte, in particular, fired three shots in quick succession, hitting the target with pinpoint accuracy.

The artillery notes glowed, and the promotion ceremony was completed.

To the great surprise of others, Eight Fingers, Little Hans and other veteran followers of Byron were the first to achieve extraordinary inauguration.

Promoted to the first-order attendant level of the Lighthouse Sequence [Artillery Expert]!
Not only did he gain the [Superb Endurance] that Byron coveted, he also gained additional [Military Weapon Proficiency] (focusing on firearms) and [Precision].

Even if it is the first time, you can master the use of any military weapon without any instruction.

Especially when using long-range weapons including muskets, cannons, bows and crossbows, one can instinctively grasp the shooting elements and greatly improve the hit rate.

Watching his man-eating sharks begin to eat the sea monster, Byron couldn't help but secretly feel sorry:
"The Wild Hunt can only target enemies at the moment. If we can recruit the souls of these sea monsters, we will be really rich."

He couldn't eat the remaining meat. Even the Wild Hunt didn't accept it. It was a huge waste.

This miser who calculated every drop of blood felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

However, because the "Touch of the Kraken" has been wreaking havoc in the North Sea for some time, the "Wild Hunt" that caused it to go out of control has also become famous.

The legend of [Wild Hunt] is constantly growing.

In just half a month, it has grown to 23 points, and the next promotion to 25 points is just around the corner.

I just don't know how long the Kraken's touch can continue to wreak havoc.

At most, it can only reach the fifth level of [King Title], but the Silver Law has seven levels.

Byron didn't believe that the Church would leave the Kraken's Touch unattended in its own base, and it should only be a matter of time before it was resolved.

Fleet commander Major General Elsie Newman and third-level [Navigator] James have also been keeping an eye on this battlefield.

Seeing this amazing result, the major general couldn't help but ask the attendant beside him curiously:
"What a beautiful battle! Whose men are these? Why are they so brave?"

"General, I just happened to see the filing documents for this batch of privateering letters.

The person who was directly in charge of the operation should be Byron Tudor, the captain of the pirate ship Golden Hind and the deputy of Pirate General [Executioner] Bill.

Although he was just a rookie pirate with little fame, he performed well in the Battle of Anchor Bay.

It is said that it was the only pirate ship in Valhalla that dared to break through the siege of heroes and rescue the Nemesis.

The reputation of loyalty is well-known among pirates."

In fact, after signing the contract, Byron received a blank "Privateer Letter of Marque" and a dozen copies.

You can fill in any name above, as long as you report to the Navy Department afterwards.

The first name filled in was Captain Byron Tudor of the Golden Hind.

The original function of a letter of marque was to legalize private crime.

It sounds incredible to truly civilized people and is simply the logic of a robber.

But this is the case with the entire Old Continent at present. The major maritime powers have gone from questioning the people of Taiwan to understanding them, and then to becoming their own people.

Even based on the individual looting of Taiwanese people, national-level pirate groups have emerged.

Byron sometimes doubted.

Is the prophecy of the Wild Hunt God referring to the people of Taiwan, or to the mainland countries that are following the will of the Creator and burning, killing and looting overseas with a clear conscience?
He also had his own considerations for bringing the identity of "Byron Tudor" to the forefront.

Perhaps the role of [Executioner] Bill is the most important, and the best treatment would be to develop under the York family with the identity of Red Beard's former confidant.

But this only considers the present, not the future.

Byron's ambition never stopped at a small ship, the Golden Hind, or even the pirate general he had already obtained.

But to take away the crown of the House of York!

It is impossible for "Byron Tudor" to always wear someone else's false vest and pin all his future subordinates, career and achievements on Bill.

By then, as the business gets bigger and bigger, the burden will get heavier and heavier, and the fake vest may become a real mask that cannot be taken off.

It would be better to start from scratch with the clean fictional identity of "Byron Tudor".

Therefore, this identity also needs to slowly build up its own prestige.

Let Bill, the Executioner, take the lead and handle matters related to the York family with a loyal image.

Wait until you have squeezed out all his value, then throw it aside and completely replace it.

Just like now, as his name spread throughout the fleet, the captain of the Golden Hind, "Byron Tudor", also began to have his own legendary status.

The commander, Major General Elsie Newman, naturally did not know Byron's plan, but he had already seen his performance. His eyes flickered for a while, and he suddenly ordered:
"Ask this pirate captain to come to the flagship tomorrow and tell him that I have something to entrust to him."

"As you command, General."
