Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 255: Unexpected Development, Governor Ends
The flesh and blood are bitter and weak!
As a biological weapon, no matter how powerful those flesh and blood giants are, it is difficult for them to go head-on with the iron lump that is accelerated to several hundred meters per second.

One after another, the "manually guided shells" drew a perfect arc in the sky and accurately hit the huge flesh and blood giant.

Bang!
The effect was even more terrible than a human body being hit by a serrated butcher knife. Their entire upper bodies were instantly cut off, and large patches of smelly blood mist exploded.

Blood and internal organs were all over the ground.

Even with the protection of the cursed gold coin, it would be impossible to put it back together again after it was broken into pieces.

Not to mention that there were many cases of gold coins being blown away by shells.

The Governor's guards who were hit exploded on the spot. It made no difference whether they hid the gold coins in their mouths or in their intestines.

Only a very small number of extraordinary people with keen spirituality can predict the trajectory of the shells in advance, and they can barely save their lives by dodging desperately.

A single salvo completely shattered the "wish" that the Faustian Contract fulfilled for Velasquez.

While the storm elves were acting as gunners and cannonballs at the same time, they started to reload the ammunition.

Byron swung the spear in his hand:

"Mr. Governor, you have been surrounded. Surrender."

A gloomy snort came from the gradually dissipating blood mist:
"Humph, you're wrong. You are the ones who are surrounded!"

Velasquez realized that the "Faust Contract" in his hand, which was like a simple wishing machine, was not omnipotent. He finally gave up his fantasy and once again revealed the trump card in his bottom drawer.

A card with a golden picture on it flew out.

A huge illusory balance appeared in the air.

Just as Byron was preparing for this unknown method, he saw that the scales had shifted over him and fell on Violet's head.

[Ship's Log] also read the capabilities of this balance simultaneously.

"Domination of the scales, rules: Based on the level of worldly status, both parties are forced to be subordinate.

Those with a higher status have complete control over those with a lower status and can exercise absolute command over them three times, except for suicide, with a validity period of one day.

Suddenly his face looked strange.

At the very beginning of the encounter between the two sides, he discovered that there was something wrong with Hermann, the quasi-sword saint who was supposed to be a member of the church's hunting team.

The Church might have some sort of deal with the Kingdom of Castile, which always supported the traditionalists like them.

But Herman seemed a little too active in protecting Velasquez, and he was no more than a death warrior.

The root of the problem lies in this dominating balance.

"But your choice of subject is really a bit tricky."

Under the illusory balance of power, Velasquez smiled with satisfaction:
“Hahaha, the Scale of Domination I borrowed from the Church is a staunch supporter of royal power, allowing those with higher secular status to gain dominance over those with lower status.

Do you think my target will be you, the commander?

Do you think I'm a deaf, blind and fool?

Could it be that I haven't realized until now that you and the skeleton next to you are actually storm knights who can control the storm?

You two are not pirates at all, but members of the Storm Knights of the Kingdom of Hattings!"

The blood mist in front of him gradually dissipated, revealing the backs of Velasquez's hands, with a smug look on his face as if he had won.

“I have the best intelligence personnel in the entire Bantaan Islands. Many secrets on the sea that are considered secret cannot escape my eyes.

After the Red Rose was exterminated, most of the surviving members of the Storm Knights were descendants of great nobles under the Lancaster Party.

Most of the eldest sons worked as law mages, and many of the second sons and below worked as storm knights.

I know that after the Yorkists drove you out of the Kingdom of Hastings, many of you Lancastrians fled to the Iris colony.

Plus the famous Chameleon Jacqueline next to her, she is the granddaughter of the Iris King Charles VII.

You can easily find out the truth with just basic reasoning skills.

There is only one answer, and that is that the sea hunter of humble origin has long died in your hands.

There must be another person hiding under the face of the sea hunter!

Since you had a strength close to the third level when you were defeated in the battle, you are probably a former marquis or heir to a duke?

I knew there were risks, so how could I make such a low-level mistake?

But as long as you change your goal, you will be safe!" Jacqueline was stunned by this and blurted out:
"How do you know our Iris's plan?"

This man is indeed a veteran politician, and is very familiar with conspiracies and intrigues.

If it weren't for some unexpected situations, his guess would have been 100% correct.

The Iris royal family and the Lancaster party rebels, who felt that the rare commodity was worth taking advantage of, had indeed planned to do so.

Kill "Byron Tudor", take over his power, place his own people in the army, and then wait for the right opportunity to act.

This is also the most reasonable inference that is most consistent with other people's cognition.

The world is seriously stratified.

It is impossible for an unknown person like the Sea Hunter who comes from a humble background to achieve great things.

But if there is a big and famous force acting under his guise, it would be perfectly reasonable.

But the key is that they haven't had time to take action yet!
Seeing Jacqueline's surprised reaction, Velasquez was secretly proud of his own reasoning ability.

"That craftsman, you shoot him!"

But in the next moment, I suddenly found something wrong.

"Wait, what's going on?"

Because he was shocked to see that the [Balance of Domination] above his head actually descended towards the opposite side, which meant that the girl opposite was heavier than him.

Velasquez's face turned pale and he waved his hands in vain:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!

I am the Governor of Havana, the Royal Colony of Castile, and my ancestors were the first pirate colonists to arrive in the Bantaan Islands.

Among the dignitaries of the Old World, who else but the stray dogs of the Lancaster Party would run to such a desolate place?
Or a woman?
According to intelligence, the Lancaster Party has no other outstanding female members except for the [Mithril Dragon] who is suspected to have reached the third level.

I am just a woman, who dares to be more noble than me? ! ! "

Violet stood there playing with her hair without moving.

The pirate warlord and princess who ruled over all the traditional northern bay dwellers in Iron Anchor Bay and most of the pirates in the North Sea were of course wanted by the church.

Wanted posters and portraits were scattered all over the sea.

But after interrogating [Blue Hair] Barbarossa Helding, she turned back into the bookish scholar.

Apart from being beautiful, there is nothing else that attracts attention.

For an old politician like Velasquez who is struggling to pursue supreme power.

Judging from the common sense he knew, how could he have imagined that there would be top dignitaries who would be willing to give up their power and travel thousands of miles to this hellhole full of criminals, bankrupts, and pirates, just to work for a bunch of stray dogs for nothing?

What's the purpose? What's the purpose?!
No one answered Velasquez's question.

A pair of golden scales quietly appeared in his eyes, which had been successfully controlled by Violet.

"Mr. Velasquez, please give me all the pawn contracts you have and the abilities you have defrauded from others."

The latter immediately handed over the hundreds of cards in his hand that contained the right to control the use of the scales for the last time.

The most valuable of them is undoubtedly the [Balance of Domination], and there is also the [Shadow Spell] which has reached the level of a third-order great wizard!
These abilities can all be used for buying and selling transactions.

As long as it is bestowed upon his subordinates, it would be easy to gain a third-level combat force. Of course, the prerequisite is that there must be a strong enough anchor to carry this power.

Hermann next to him also gave up resistance under indirect orders and was handcuffed by the [Guardian Knight] Bruch with a spell-breaking stone lock.

Because of the unexpected development of the Domination Scale, Byron and his party were spared a major battle, and the last enemies were all taken down.

Andrew, the Skeleton Knight who died in the last expedition, was in a dream:

"Treasure Island and all the gold, silver and jewels on it now belong to us?"

It was like answering his question.

“I know, I know.”

A loud cicada chirping sound came from the world crack and instantly spread throughout the entire island.

It’s time for [Greedy Worm·Mammon] to eat!
