Chapter 262 Living Battleship, Bad News Arrives

In his heart, Byron silently pronounced the fate of a powerful noble family in the kingdom.

It's as easy as killing a chicken, there's only the question of whether you want to or not, not whether you can or not.

This was not because he wanted to be deliberately high-profile, but because his rapidly expanding strength no longer allowed him to go with the flow.

Now, the Pioneer Colonial Trading Company has three official third-level transcendents: Byron himself, Violet, and Skeleton Knight Andrew.

Plus [Doppler Heavy Swordsman] Quasi-Sword Saint Hermann, the exhibitionist hunting servant who doesn't speak human language.

There is also a third-level [Shadow Spell] obtained from Velasquez, which can create a great wizard in a short period of time.

There are also three people in the team who are not far from this step.

Gourmet [Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred has begun to perfect his life menu; [Fairy] Rigrael is ready to start the promotion ceremony at any time;
Catherine is the fastest and her promotion is in the countdown.

Once she is promoted to the third level, she will be blessed by the [Golden Law] in the International Port and will be able to instantly gain the combat power of the fourth level.

Even if he is just a fourth-order floor-level player like [Blue Hair] who can only play the role of a fox borrowing the power of another, he is more than enough to defend the International Port.

There are about eight middle-level sequences, not counting the possible third-level survivors in the Lancaster Party.

Byron naturally has the confidence to use some slightly radical means without worrying about backlash.

“If you don’t give it to me, I’ll take it myself.

I say wherever there are Lancaster gangsters, there must be gangsters.

If I accidentally drive all the bandits to Port Royal when I go to suppress them, and then accidentally fail to rescue them in time, the entire Newman family will be killed.

No one can blame me, right?
In order to suppress more and more bandits, it is reasonable for me, a 'confidant' who vows to avenge the Newman family, to apply for more military funds and expand two more fleets, right?

Anyway, I have killed more than one governor and rear admiral, so I am very familiar with this job!"

The Newman brothers suddenly felt a chill on their necks for no apparent reason.

“Let’s take a step back and say that the higher my Transcendent rank is, the stronger the effect of [Heartache] will be on my superiors. Even if I don’t backstab them, I will continue to have bad luck.

After I am promoted to the third-level Storm Admiral, I am afraid that there will be another round of outbreak soon.

I don't know if their weak arms and legs can bear it.

It's a good time for me to find a new boss."

Byron did not show any unusual behavior on the surface, as if he had reluctantly accepted Major General Newman's arrangement.

"Bill" slammed his glass on the table, spilling some wine.

The dinner scene suddenly became a little dull, but some people felt relieved.

All we can say is that the two of them work well together, have attitude and a little temper, and they perfectly portray the resentment of two capable men who are emotional and difficult to vent.

It didn't get to the point of a falling out, but it also made people feel that the young man was simple-minded and easy to manipulate, so they subconsciously let down their guard.

But they never expected that the two brothers were already prepared to use the knife to get the benefits themselves.

At this time, the Chief Quartermaster Mallory Barton, who was also on the death list, came to smooth things over:

"Mr. Sea Hunter and Mr. Bill, you two are the general's trusted men and sons-in-law, so you should also be considerate of the general's situation.

The most important task now is to save everyone's lives and property from the hands of Warwick, the King Maker. You two should put the overall situation first!"

Then he raised his glass towards the Governor and changed the subject:
"I heard that some time ago, Master Buck from the Governor's family went to the Celestial Circumference Belt with the Kingdom's exploration ship, the Double Gun Ranger.

The current exploration progress is about to break through the doldrums and enter the southern hemisphere. This speed is well-deserved to be in the first echelon among all countries.

Perhaps good news will come back soon, and then His Majesty might be pleased, and we can all benefit from Master Buck's help.

If you are lucky enough, you will have everything without forcing it. "

Byron knew all about the Newman family's family situation.

We know that Buck Newman is the Governor's second son, a second-rank [Navigator] of the Lighthouse Sequence, and the only descendant of the family who is worthy of being trained.

Compared with the eldest son who is the heir to the earldom, Milton, the first level of the Gold Yuan Sequence [Golden Eyes], is more outstanding and more restless.

He is also regarded by the Newman brothers as a rising star who has the potential to lead the family to a further step forward.

This is also generally the standard configuration of aristocratic families in various countries.

The eldest son with the right of inheritance stabilizes the family business, while the second son and those below have to fight for themselves. They may die silently somewhere, but they may also emerge as a rising star and become successful.

The same is true for Lancaster. The eldest son Henry VI is a [Lawyer] and the second son Prince of Thornburg is a [Storm Knight].

In Byron's generation, his cousin Prince Edward was also a "master of law."

If nothing unexpected happened, as the only son of a prince, it would be almost impossible for him to take the path of Storm Knight, which requires taking risks to advance.

Instead, there is a high probability that he will also work as a [Lawyer].

“Haha, we are just crossing the river by following the lead of the Kingdom of Castile and the Barbary Pirates.

There are always more solutions than problems. Although Buck worked hard, the achievements of the Kingdom's intelligence personnel cannot be completely erased. Our York Party has just taken over the colony for more than half a year, and we have to thank the Lancaster Party for laying a good foundation for us.

Let us pay tribute to the selfless dedication of the Lancasters! Hahaha."

When Governor Jefferson heard the quartermaster talking about his most outstanding son, he smiled, raised his glass and said a few polite words, mocking his old rival at the same time.

Buzz buzz.
The exquisite [Echo Conch] on his waist, which was used for emergency communication, suddenly rang.

Byron could tell at a glance that this conch seemed to be of extremely high level, and there should be no problem in real-time communication over thousands of kilometers.

"Eh? Is it our adventure ship, the Double Gun Ranger?"

Governor Jefferson didn't expect that he would receive a response immediately when he was just talking about his son and the expedition ship with his subordinates.

My first reaction was to wonder if there was any good news. After the call was connected, I immediately asked:
"Buck? Why are you sending the message so late? Has something happened? Have you discovered a new continent?"

However, the voice coming from the other side was not the good news as he expected.

Instead, there was a very noisy and chaotic noise, which seemed to be a mixture of cannon fire, gunfire, and countless screams and exclamations:
"That thing is underwater. Judging from the size of the shadow, it should be a sea monster. Quick, throw all our dragon dung potions in there."

There was a loud "boom" and it seemed as if some huge monster suddenly broke out of the water.

"Creator, it's a ship, a diving ship!

What the hell is this ship flying the flag of the Kingdom of Castile, covered in barnacles and tentacles?!"

Rumble.
After a round of thunderous artillery fire, someone shouted:
“We were hit, and there was something wrong with the shrapnel, it wasn’t cast iron, it looked like broken barnacles.

Will, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly attacking me? Ah——!"

"First mate, I'm sorry, I can't control my body. Help me, help me."

"It's so itchy and painful, I can't breathe."

Hearing that the news was not good news, but a very strange encounter, the Governor did not care about the other people in the banquet hall and hurriedly asked:

"Buck, Buck, speak up! What's the matter?"

There were a few more gunshots and the sound of bodies falling to the ground.

Finally, a young man's voice was heard, and many people present immediately recognized the familiar voice. It was Buck Newman, the protagonist of the previous topic.

"Father, it's bad. We were attacked in the south of the Calm Belt, just as we were about to break out.

It was an enemy ship of the Kingdom of Castile. No, it was a giant octopus with huge tentacles that could dive. That was also not right.

Just like the legendary battleships that could conquer the seven seas on their own, the diving enemy ship was alive, like the most terrifying hunter, cunning and brutal.

I saw the name of the ship engraved on its hull. It is the first-tier elite adventure ship of the Kingdom of Castile, the May Wind! "

Another round of gunfire interrupted Buck's words. When the conch was connected again, the tone on the other side had changed:
"Ah, barnacles and corals, stay away from me
Hoho, the era of Luoyan. It’s time for Hoho.”

Before he could say a few more words, his throat seemed to be gradually filled with something and he could no longer make any sound, only vague whimpering sounds.

Governor Jefferson, who was unable to help at all, was sweating profusely and called out repeatedly:
"What's wrong with you, Buck? Buck, please, don't scare Daddy!"

However, there was a huge, teeth-grinding sound of the ship breaking, and a low roar of some giant monster.

There was no more human voice on the other side of the echo conch.

None of the guests present were ordinary people, so they naturally knew what it meant to encounter such a situation on the sea.

If nothing unexpected happened, there would be no one alive on that ship.

Especially when they heard the strange word "Luo Yanji", there seemed to be a fishy smell of sea water blowing in their faces, making them subconsciously hold their breathing.

I felt that something was wrong.

"Oh! my little Buck--!"

The governor, who was already not young, could not bear the blow of seeing his son die. His eyes rolled back and he slumped down in his chair.

"Your Majesty the Governor."

The sudden bad news caused chaos in the banquet hall.

Byron did not gloat at first, but his body suddenly shuddered when he heard the familiar name.

"The May Wind, mentioned by Havana Governor Velasquez, has returned from the New World to the celestial circulation belt and just destroyed the Double Gun Ranger, which was on board Buck Newman?
What did I say at the beginning?

The bones of Maywind are about to get cold. Is the Newman family about to be in big trouble?
Moreover, the Lunar Age? I have also seen this term in the logbook of the [Bone-eating Clown] Koraskin! "

But compared to the complacency of accidentally making a cameo appearance as a "prophet".

Byron is one of the very few people in the Bantaan Islands who knows best how dangerous the New World is.

What he was more concerned about was what the Maywind, which had obviously stumbled and was as polluted as the Koraskin, had brought back from the New World, where only a glimpse of it had been revealed.
As a [historical reviser], if there is a possibility of being accidentally affected, Byron will definitely be caught in the vortex.

Only by being alert in advance can we be prepared.
