Chapter 293 Legion Relics, Backdoor Listing
Phew——!
After leaving the Pharos Lighthouse, Meganilla set off for Strom Harbor immediately without even arranging a combat meeting.

The situation was urgent and they had no time to slowly float over by boat. And because they were worried about being attacked by the Maywind in the water, they simply called in an air squadron.

A team of giant horned eagles tamed by [Beast Tamer]!

The sound of eagles' cries rang out over the Torrent Fortress along with the melodious singing, and five huge horned eagles with a wingspan of more than four meters flew over from the distant sky.

“I would rather be a sparrow than a snail.

Yes, I would rather do so.

If I could, I certainly would!

Far away, I would rather fly far away,
Like a mountain eagle, wandering around freely"

Meganila also used her ability as a singer [Soul Singer] to sing a song called "Song of the Mountain Eagle", which gave the air force squadron a collective aura of acceleration.

It took a full 1,300 kilometers to fly from the Iris Colony to the Torrent Fortress, and it was already the next morning when we arrived at our destination.

Several months later, when she came to Torrent Fortress for the second time, she found that it had changed a lot.

Not only did a large, impregnable bastion rise from the ground, but the attached industrial city also looked well-established, with chimneys spewing out thick gray smoke and factories of all kinds standing side by side.

The whole city seems to have life, exuding a vibrant energy that changes every day.

It is very different from other cities that have not changed much for hundreds or thousands of years.

Moreover, the Lighthouse Federation guide Delia, whom I had just met yesterday, was directing a group of lighthouse engineers to survey the port, apparently preparing to build a large lighthouse for this port city.

When Byron left the Fallows Lighthouse, Delia was assigned as the exclusive contact person for this senator. Whatever he wanted to do in the Lighthouse Federation, he could do it through the contact person.

Byron was always a man of strong principles.

Adhering to the firm principle of "if you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a bastard", he placed an order on the spot and customized a second-level lighthouse for the Torrent Fortress.

Catherine and the federation had been haggling for a long time but failed to bring down the price, so the price was slashed to a drastic discount.

Unfortunately, this authority can only be used by yourself, and there is no way to use it as a middleman to earn brokerage fees.

pain!
Heart-wrenching pain!

It took a lot of willpower to resist the tempting idea of ​​falsifying the bills to Catherine and getting a kickback from her sister.

"Welcome to Port Rapids."

Byron and his Prime Minister and Governor of Torrent Fortress, Violet, had already been waiting in front of the Governor's Mansion on the top floor of the bastion.

Release the light of law to guide the opponent to land.

As Byron's territory grew larger and larger, he basically spent one day in Port Royal, one day in International Port, and one day in Rapids Harbor, absolutely treating all of them equally and never favoring one over the other.

Moreover, it is more convenient for him to travel between the three territories than before.

After Violet woke up in the old god's mansion, she was able to use the corresponding disaster spell, which greatly improved her combat power and means of dealing with enemies.

In particular, the two curses, [Profanation] and [Abyss], which came from the Octopus Battleship and the Fiddler Crab respectively, gave her the ability to imitate the blood master.

The two abilities are [Nightmare Crawling] and [Deep Sea Jump].

The former allows her to enter other people's dreams and control their dreams like the legendary nightmare, and even kill people in their dreams.

The effect is in no way weaker than the executioner's [Execution in a Dream].

The latter can imitate the deep-sea leaps of fiddler crabs and travel thousands of miles in an instant.

The teleportation distance depends on the type, quantity, and weight of the object being teleported. If only a few people are being teleported, it can reach an astonishing distance of one thousand kilometers like a fiddler crab, but if a ship is being teleported, it can only reach a few dozen kilometers at most.

As a way to escape, it is completely sufficient and can be called "water escape".

After a while, the three people who had exchanged greetings, along with Jacqueline who had rushed over after hearing the news, sat down in the bright and clean reception room.

All the outsiders left.

"Byron, what is this good stuff? Take it out and show it to me."

After revealing her identity, Meganilla became less polite. As soon as she sat down, she couldn't wait to see why the mysterious trading partner could let her win.

Byron kept her in suspense for a while, poured her a cup of tea, and asked her a question:
"Aunt, what do you think is the biggest difficulty in solving the blood disaster?"

The lady blurted out:
“Of course it’s coral disease.

The lethality is too strong for ordinary soldiers and even extraordinary officers.

Even if we destroy the May Wind, we don’t know if the marine ecosystem that has already been invaded will die on its own.”

Byron was very satisfied with her reaction, nodded and continued:

“Jacqueline should have told you that I was the one who used the natives as bait to mobilize the two overlords to fight.

The reason why the Taino people of the two major indigenous empires were able to escape the bird-beak plague created by the Castilians was because of my help.

so."

Meganila understood the meaning of the music and was immediately surprised:
"You mean, not only smallpox, but also coral disease can be immune?"

Byron placed a bottle of what was essentially an oral vaccine on the table in front of her.

She took out a portion of "seafood" that had been preserved in advance and asked Jacqueline, who volunteered, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the parasitic disease vaccine for her.

Then he leaned against the sofa, looked at the surprise on her face and said leisurely:
"How is it? Is this a good thing?"

As Havana Governor Fox said, even if he was granted immunity, Castile alone could not withstand it.

It is much better to bring along a relatively reliable ally to fight against the maritime overlord together than to end up being the loser to the Castilians.

Although the countries of Hastings and Iris have a century-old feud, if they can't even let go of a small prejudice, how can they be called "offshore balancers"?
This has a long tradition in Hastings, and it sounds reasonable when stated publicly, and will not attract opposition from various interest groups.

Meganila said directly without hesitation: "Name your price, cash or certificate of deposit? I'm ready."

Byron was not used to the lady's directness and smiled bitterly:

"Aunt, we are all relatives. My father is your cousin. It is really vulgar to talk about money.

Do I look like the kind of person who is obsessed with money?"

Meganilla's pair of light blue eyes looked up and down at her nephew's extremely handsome face with a half-smile, then nodded with certainty:
"Yes you are.

Could it be that our little Byron has changed his character and realized that it is not easy for his aunt to manage such a large colony alone, so he wants to give this "potion" to his aunt for free?

Then I won’t be polite to you.”

As she was about to reach out to take it, Byron blocked her in advance, raised his head and smiled at her:
"I won't charge money for this transaction. If I do, I'll only take the holy relics."

After glancing at Jacqueline next to him, he continued:

“I heard that in the Iris Kingdom’s treasury, there is a third-level holy relic handed down from the mythological era, the [Silver Wing Knights’ javelin].

How about using it to pay for the medicine?"

Obviously, this reward was not for himself, but for his sister Catherine who was about to be promoted to the third-level [Mithril Knight].

The Mithril Knight's fourth-level heroic skill [Mithril Legion] is different from other fourth-level professions, which require them to train living guards using the "Heroic Battle Flag".

They can directly use the token to summon a certain heroic army in history and attach spirits to the Mithril Legion under their command.

Catherine, who is expected to be promoted by the end of April, now only needs to obtain a suitable ancient legion token to gain complete combat power.

Therefore, during this period of time, Byron has been looking for a legion relic that matches his nature.

After searching around and posting notices at all the large and small trading markets in the international port, I still couldn't find a suitable one. Either the pairs were not compatible or the level was too low.

It was not until Jacqueline mentioned it unintentionally that he realized that this item in the Iris Treasury might be very suitable.

According to legend, the [Silver Wing Knights] are a powerful group of wyvern knights.

As an all-female aerial knight group in the mythological era, their much lighter weight than men allowed them to ride their wyverns more easily.

At that time, it was known for its speed.

Just think about it, a group of wyvern riders, combined with Catherine's [Mithril Dragon], will naturally have a high compatibility.

Meganila hesitated for a moment and then nodded:
“Well, I agreed.

When I get back, I will immediately send a message to retrieve this holy relic from the mainland.

You can use the Lighthouse Union's small package for emergency delivery, which will be delivered to you in three days at most."

Although, in that mythological era when even giant dragons were not new, sub-dragon species were just common stuff.

But now, two thousand years later, the antique alone is worth a lot of money, not to mention a third-level holy relic.

But for a kingdom, the value of the immunity potion is obviously far greater than a mere relic.

"Auntie is so nice, you can pick up the goods now."

Both parties get what they need and everyone is happy.

Who said we don’t have the fourth level?

Once Catherine completes her promotion, she will immediately gain the strength to compete with the fourth level within the International Port.

Although we cannot leave the "Dragon's Nest", it is enough to protect it.

Another trump card added to help him secure second place and fight for first place!
After finishing the business, Meganilla was about to say goodbye to them and rush back to vaccinate the soldiers under her command who were participating in the operation.

Suddenly Byron said:
"Aunt, when you go back, please allow population movement within the Iris Colony.

How about giving me 10% of the money from the new people who come to the colony every year?"

The lady looked at the city's population structure which was mainly composed of indigenous people and immediately understood his intention. It was clear that he was planning to integrate the main ethnic group to establish a country in the colony.

I couldn't help but said angrily:

"You want to drain the colonies of Hattings and Iris and create your own country within a country? Isn't that too greedy?"

Byron was confident:

"I only smoke Hastings now. Iris is discussing this with you."

In fact, he just wants to go public through a backdoor listing!

Nothing could be a better excuse for military expansion and population transfer than a sweeping military campaign across the colonies.

If he fails to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to massively expand the army and recruit new soldiers, is he still a human being?
If you are a general leading an army and the emperor wants to strip you of your military power, what can you do?
If it were in Byron's previous life.

"When there are ten thousand men, Your Majesty, I surrender and please spare the lives of my entire clan."

"When there are 100,000 people, brothers, follow me to purge the court."

"When I had half a million, I said: Hey! How dare a traitor tell me what to do? I don't know what the withered bones in the tomb are screaming about.
I will sentence you to death!"

Here, the number of staff can be appropriately reduced.

Even the Invincible Fleet had only more than 100 battleships of level three or above, tens of thousands of soldiers, and a total of more than a thousand warships.

Once he has gathered 20,000 people and dozens of heavily armed cruisers, it will be enough for him to rush back to his hometown and start a battle, or even engage in a head-on battle.

By then, we can change the way we say it.

——The heroic King Byron I will return to his loyal Kingston!
