Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 173: Whether Bantaan is in chaos or not, I have the final say today!
Deep in the Yucatan Island, in the tropical rainforest that blocks out the sun.

"Follow up, senior warriors, keep the rear guard, don't let anyone fall behind."

A large group of indigenous people are leaving their cities with their families and hiding in the deeper and more sparsely populated jungles.

Regardless of gender, age or status, everyone is agile and even after leaving the city, they can adapt to the environment here better than outsiders.

There was an invisible "border" surrounding them, blocking all traces of them. Even the birds in the sky could not detect anything unusual.

Alvin the Falcon, who had changed into a new human skin, was walking at the front of the team with several high-ranking nobles of the city-state, with a roll of yellowed parchment floating above his head.

That was the first overseas development order of the Age of Discovery.

Effect 1 has been activated: wherever you stand is the kingdom's territory.

You can build an invisible "border line" that moves with you and guide your own golden law.

Use it to add various bonuses to personnel within the territory: Stealth, High-speed March, and No Land Left Unturned.
It was with the help of this treasure that Cortes was able to shield the huge expeditionary force within his own "territory" and launch a surprise attack on the Royal City of Azk.

In the past, this development order was deeply bound to the [Niucheng Law].

Even the "declaration of war" represented Castile, and victory would add to the iron rule of the Castilian monarchy.

No matter how much benefit the executors get, the iron law of the royal power of Castile and the king are the biggest winners.

Now, the source of the law has been modified by Byron and bound to his own [Golden Code].

Not only humans, but also dead ancestors, gods, and natural spirits are within its rule.

In this tropical rainforest where all creatures are alive, it is like a fish in water, and any means of surveillance are ineffective against it.

[Falcon] took a look at the migration map that was about to reach the end point, and felt a little relieved:

“That freak spread the smallpox virus all the way from Lake Texcoco in the heart of the Azk Empire.

This group of people is the last city-state on this route, and theoretically it should suffer from large-scale disease and destruction.

After transferring this group of people, my work will come to an end.

According to the death curve and population extinction model given by Miss Catherine.

After a large number of their own kind have died, the remaining 20%-30% of survivors will not continue to live in a place where countless relatives and friends have died.

They are also unable to maintain the huge city, and can only use magic potions prepared by shamans to destroy the bodies of their loved ones, so as to prevent the corpses all over the city from giving rise to something even more terrifying and grotesque.

Then they returned to the primitive jungle to live, leaving only an empty city in its place.

This all makes perfect sense.

The 'cursed gold' deliberately left in the city is an even sweeter bait.

Only in this way can the Castilians, the overlord of the east coast, the Star-Moon Empire, the overlord of the west coast, and the Barbary pirates it supports, fight for this land and shed blood like a river! "

Byron never forgot that the prerequisite for a head-on conflict between the two overlords was the extinction of the indigenous people of Yucatan Island and the sacrifice of their land.

If they knew that the "smallpox virus" had been solved by the "Father of Immunology" using cowpox, only a fool would choose to fight the first battle themselves when facing a full 1300 million indigenous population.

Only when the bait is tempting enough and the two families see the hope of taking it all for themselves, will they abandon all concerns and fight to the death.

Therefore, while using the international port to unite a large number of pioneers and possess the ability to protect themselves, Byron also issued a battle order of "showing weakness to the enemy and luring the snake out of its hole."

The two overlords would not release the eagle until they saw the rabbit, so they released the rabbit.

In order to avenge their dead relatives, the major city-states of the Taino people also cooperated very well.

"Hey, who is that person?"

As Alvin led the team, he saw a figure in front of him, walking slowly on the road alone.

It wears a waxed black canvas shirt, a black hat on its head, and a mask shaped like a bird's beak that can filter the air.

His eyes were inlaid with transparent glass, he wore white gloves, and held a dirty wooden stick in his hand.

A red-eyed crow perched on its shoulder.

It turned out to be the source of all these disasters [Bird-beaked Plague Doctor]!
However, no matter how close the distance between the two was, this weirdness that should have been completely unsolvable had no effect on these natives.

A naughty teenager even kicked it as he walked past it.

Bang!
The grotesque thing that should have been extremely terrifying was kicked to the ground by a young man.

More feet from the large group behind it also stepped on its body tacitly.

Both the invisible "concept smallpox" and the "plague aura" that kill people have become a joke at this moment.

"Hahaha, this freak has turned into a waste!"

Many people laughed along, but they started crying as they laughed.

"Mom, did you see that in heaven? We have defeated it."

"Brother, we will never get smallpox again"

In the face of the plague, perhaps some people will fall.

But after experiencing life and death, the remaining people gained immunity to these viruses and won the right to continue living in this world.

Every arrival of a new plague is an opportunity for evolution.

With the protection of the "Father of Immunology", they can adapt to the new world countless times faster than under natural conditions.

Most of them trampled on the "weak" monster and prayed:
"May the Father of Medicine bless us!" "May the Father of Medicine protect us."

After this epidemic, countless people in major city-states of the Taya Empire have begun to believe in Byron, the "Father of Immunology" who possesses medical knowledge.

That’s actually how the thirteen crystal skulls came about.

The former king used his knowledge to make great contributions to the tribe during his lifetime. After his death, his spirit merged with a natural spirit and became a patron saint.

At this time, Byron had undoubtedly reached the heights of the thirteen previous kings.

As soon as he dies, the shaman will chop off his head with the highest rituals and enshrine it in the pyramid.

Although Byron himself might, probably, possibly, not have liked this kind of noble courtesy from the natives very much.

After the Falcon settled these people, it turned into an eagle and soared into the sky with a "Franchise Contract" full of gratitude.

Two voices sounded in my ears:
"Alvin, are you in position? The Barbary pirates are about to send out scouts.

If they see something they shouldn't, I'll have to kill people to deal with it, which is too much trouble."

“It’s the same here. In the Kingdom of Castile, the number of old subordinates I can fully control is limited.

When passing on false information, at least it should appear flawless on the surface."

The three people who communicated remotely using the Golden Rule were Alvin, a second-level doctor from the Flayed Church [Falcon];

The former Rear Admiral of the Castilian Navy, the Third Order Knight Commander, and the current Emperor of Azik [Conqueror] Cortes;
The last one is the gourmet [Fat Dragon] among the Barbary pirates, whose status is only lower than that of the third-level pirates.

When Byron did not take over their consciousness, the three Wild Hunt servants were all normal people and could move freely.

The conspiracy of the three people was to add another layer of insurance to the already very complete plan.

"The natives of Yucatan are dying as expected, and there are abandoned and empty cities everywhere."

If only one or two people said this, the top management of each company might still have some concerns.

But when everyone says so, and even cross-checks the captured enemy intelligence and reaches the same conclusion, then there must be nothing wrong.

The time to expand territory and build a nation is now!

at the same time.

The Taiman Islands are still calm.

The scenery here is beautiful and it is a natural holiday resort. Even if many people come, there are still large tracts of precious land.

On a beach that is isolated by the [Border Maze] and cannot be seen by outsiders.

The blue sea is rippling, and many sea turtles, larger than carriages, are swimming around with their gentle temperaments.

On the white sandy beach, a cluster of old coconut trees that have grown for decades cast a large area of ​​shade.

A small table, two lounge chairs, and the two owners of this island.

Catherine was wearing only a strapless silk chiffon dress, revealing her shoulders as white and smooth as milk, and her arms, which had survived the cowpox and became even whiter and more flawless.

She had a bunch of large bell-like lily of the valley in her hair, and was holding a green coconut in her hand, sipping the cool and sweet coconut juice.

A pair of teak slippers were swinging on the ruby-red toes under her skirt, which was extremely comfortable.

Byron, who was standing next to him, was lying on a lounge chair, wearing the large beach pants his sister had made for him.

Between the two of them was a set of animated chess given to them as a gift by the unscrupulous businessman Michael.

The black and white chess pieces carved from stone can move freely.

A black and white king, a queen, two chariots, two bishops, two knights and eight guards were killed on the small chessboard, causing stone chips to fly.

A swordsman who is proficient in the [Supreme Art] will definitely be a master at chess.

Anyway, from childhood to adulthood, Byron has never won against his sister in chess.

However, as the battle progressed, the smile on Catherine's face gradually shifted to Byron's face.

It was only because at this time, another swordsman who was proficient in the [Supreme Art] was helping him fight from a distance.

"King's Rook, against King's Check!"

On the chessboard, the black chess piece's rampaging chariot and king suddenly swapped positions.

However, it was Byron who launched the "castling" strategy that occurs once in every chess game, completely checking Catherine's king.

The girl screamed in annoyance:
"Ah, how could this happen?"

At the same time, with the cooperation of the insiders, the spies also reported the "real situation" on Yucatan Island to the top leaders of the two overlords.

“Haha, although I am just a nobody now, at most I am just a chariot driven by others.

But today, whether the Bantaan Islands are in chaos or not is up to me!
Castling of the king's rook.

How can you say, "I am the vanguard" if you are passively beaten all day long? Don't you agree? The two overlords?"

Byron retreated to advance, and he himself became the real mastermind behind the scenes, weaving a big vortex that swallowed up the two overlords in one fell swoop.

If it is presented in the style of the records in the [Ship's Log], it would probably be [Secret: The Mystery of the Turmoil in the Bantaan Islands, Historical Influence 30]!
