Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 301 The same trick cannot be used on it a second time
The Windward Strait is located at the border between the Kingdom of Castile, Fleur-de-lis, and Hattings.

The colonies of the three countries are arranged in a triangle in a clockwise order.

In particular, Cape San Nicolas in the northwest corner of Iris and Cape Messi in the southeast corner of Castile are like a pair of canine teeth, sandwiching the Windward Strait in the middle.

The narrowest point is only 80 kilometers.

The place that was attacked by the bloody disaster this time was the city of St. Nicholas in Iris.

"Fire, fire, our follow-up support will be here soon!"

Iris' hunting fleet is slightly inferior to Byron's.

Led by the flagship Lady Lily of the Valley commanded by Governor Meganilla, three strange warships blocked an octopus warship in the narrow bay.

They immediately dumped a large amount of dragon dung potion into the sea, and a total of four warships roughly lined up in a line and launched a salvo, pouring abundant firepower on the enemy.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Under the silver-white rain curtain, as the cannon flames continued to flicker, shattered shells, torn wooden boards, and bright blue blood were thrown into the sea.

The octopus battleship relied on its tentacles to move without relying on sails, and did not make any tactical moves against the wind.

Instead, it turned the ship and used the bow with the smallest cross-section to face the Iris fleet in the upwind position.

They faced their artillery fire head-on, launched a counter-charge, and fired their own barnacle shells carrying coral disease at the fleet.

Rain from the sky fuels the power of coral disease.

Originally, this was the "biological attack" that sailors were most afraid of. Even a third-level extraordinary person would be untreatable if he was accidentally hit.

But now it's very different.

As the shells disintegrated, tiny pieces of barnacle larvae fell onto the crew.

As soon as the parasites penetrated the skin, they were immediately killed by the vaccine given in advance, and fell to the ground like gray powder.

No harm was caused to the crew.

Meganila was relieved to see the vaccine's outstanding performance in actual combat:

"This deal with Byron was a steal.

If there were no immunity potions, we would suffer huge casualties at any time when fighting against the octopus battleships.

Even if they could defeat the enemy, their own military strength would suffer serious losses.

If we try so hard to get immunity, but the colony turns out to be a hedgehog with all its spines plucked out, it will be a huge joke.”

It's quite a coincidence.

Meganilla led her fleet to cruise around the island, and "coincidentally" discovered the octopus battleship that was attacking her own port when passing by Cape St. Nicholas.

Many coral people have landed, and the octopus warships are firing into the city, using heavy rain to spread the coral disease.

Meganilla immediately led people to block it here without saying a word, and then notified Byron immediately.

It's not because she is so magnanimous that she is ready to hand over the heads and immunity of the Octopus Battleship directly to her nephew.

It’s because this octopus battleship is not Castile’s [May Wind] at all.

Although it looks similar on the outside, it is a relatively slender adventure ship with a surface covered with barnacles.

But just look at the name engraved on its stern corridor and you will know that this is clearly the Grand Duchy of Courland's rare warship, the Sea Spider!
It's just that this ship has coral disease.

"Idiots! This is probably because they accidentally got themselves involved when they were fighting against the Mad Blood Disaster in private.

Damn it! Those small countries lost their rare warships but didn’t even inform us!
Can the combat effectiveness of ordinary civilian ships be compared with theirs?

Now that a Kurland-based [Sea Spider] has appeared here, we don’t know how many countries have already rashly explored the dreamland and lost their lives in vain.”

After the two countries reached a cooperation agreement, Meganilla shared the intelligence from Byron, and her understanding of the Octopus Battleship's capabilities far exceeded that of others.

“1. [Coral Parasitism]: Barnacles carry an entire offshore ecosystem and can parasitize not only humans but also ships, transforming them into their own guards and frigates.

Each of the eight tentacles can differentiate and control an octopus frigate, and together with the May itself, it forms a powerful monster fleet.

When it rains, their abilities in all aspects are enhanced, especially coral disease, which no longer has any restrictions on its spread.

2. [Bloodsucking Recovery]: Maywind can repair itself by sucking the blood and flesh of frigates or other creatures, and even achieve some targeted evolution, becoming stronger and stronger;
16. [Underwater Stealth]: The Octopus Battleship can travel at a speed of 29 knots (10 km/h) on the surface and 18 knots ( km/h) underwater, regardless of weather conditions.

4. [Misty Dream]: When barnacles grow to their limit, they can pull people into the common dream of marine creatures without them realizing it.

The depths of the dream connect to a new continent, and even hide an old god's mansion that can easily corrupt even a fourth-level hero.

It is very likely that Balboa encountered and saw the true body of the old god hiding there at close range, which led to him being contaminated and becoming what he is now.

And the most powerful title ability of the fourth-level hero adventurer is [Infinite Evolution]:
Not only does it have abnormal recovery ability, but you never know what unexpected form it will evolve into when it appears next time if you fail to kill it in one shot."

After understanding the full picture of the opponent, Meganila immediately realized that the danger of this thing was simply beyond the control of them, the third-level ones.

Especially the second point mentioned by the Cardinal. Finding the black hand in the dream seems relatively simple, but it is actually much more dangerous than killing the octopus battleship.

Anyone who dares to investigate dreams deeply will die miserably.

At present, the most realistic way is to kill the tentacle extending from the dream - [May Wind], which is also the only mission target that can be solved by guns and cannons.

However, Meganilla knew of another non-combat route that could satisfy the contribution requirements.

- Vaccines for coral disease and cleaning up invasive marine life within the Bantayan range.

As long as the trouble is cleared, he should be able to get at least one exemption spot. For Byron, this is a double insurance.

If they fail to successfully hunt down the Maywind, they will throw this thing out.

One could use the excuse that it was a special supply obtained from the "Father of Medicine" through indigenous channels, or he could ask the great shaman to take action.

If they were allowed to lead their people to "devoutly convert" to the church, they could serve as role models for local traitors and perhaps even get more benefits from the church.

If Byron can successfully achieve the kill target and have a surplus, there is a high probability that he can sell the excess to his aunt.

It doesn’t matter if you rank second or third, as long as you have immunity.

This is the main reason why Meganila is so active.

Her goal has changed from solving the blood disaster independently to fully supporting Byron in killing Maywind and then sharing the benefits.

"Governor, the octopus warship is more resistant to sinking than ordinary sailing ships. We cannot sink it before boarding."

The ship's gunner reported hastily.

Because of the appearance of a strange octopus battleship, Meganila was already feeling a little gloomy in her heart. Now she wanted to make a quick decision and gave the order decisively:

"Then join the boarding!
The Marines formed up, ready to engage the Coralites.

Captains of all ships follow me to charge. According to reliable intelligence, our allies have already performed an autopsy on the Octopus frigate (autopsy table = kitchen chopping board), and only the heart is under the gun deck.

If one shot penetrates the heart, it will surely die.

The number of Hero Guards' escort ships is uncertain, so we must fight quickly and get rid of them as quickly as possible."

Boom!

The next moment, the Sea Spider crashed into the iris array with a loud bang.

Hundreds of coral people swarmed out of the cabin and rushed towards the sailors on the deck fearlessly.

At the same time, eight extremely thick tentacles at the stern waved, desperately destroying the rigging on the warships.

Meganilla spit out a [sonic bomb] from her mouth, blasting a bloody path on the hull, and led the other three third-level extraordinary people to launch a surprise attack on the bottom cabin.

And just when they were mixed together and fighting each other, it was difficult to separate them.

Wow.
In the area outside the bay that was not contaminated by the dragon dung potion, one, two, and a total of four octopus battleships rushed out from the bottom of the water.

"No, there's an ambush!"

The returning Maywind had obviously learned the lesson from the last time it was targeted by concentrated fire, and adopted the tactic of close boarding combat, not afraid of concentrated fire even if the enemy had reinforcements.

The "hostages" will only be beaten to pieces before you.

This "giant octopus" even imitated the tactics used by Byron, setting up a warship as bait and surrounding Iris' fleet in reverse.

As an infinitely evolved being, even if you lose your mind and fight only on instinct, you cannot use the same move against it a second time!
At this moment, the Maywind and its escort fleet were facing the Iris fleet, five ships against four. The sheer number of ships was enough to give them the upper hand.

Not only that, Meganila has already recognized the identities of the three frigates:
“The Grand Duchy of Andorra’s [Resolution], the Grand Duchy of Hesse’s [Sword and Shield], and the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg’s [Smurf].

They are all rare warships.

You transport captains who failed to steal chickens and instead aided the enemy deserve to die!"

At the same time, Meganila's heart suddenly tightened when she keenly noticed the number of this monster fleet:
“The upper limit is nine ships, and now only five ships have been added. It has not yet fully recovered to its state when it was victorious.

Are you planning to capture our four exotic warships and complete the monster fleet?!"

Just when the fleet of rare monsters was coming towards them in a mighty manner.

Jacqueline also jumped over the battlefield through shadows, and stood in the air with a pair of wide black dragon wings spread out behind her. She originally wanted to find Meganilla to complain.

However, he was looking down from a high position and saw at the first moment that the May Wind, which was supposed to be the prey, was so cunning that it launched a counter-attack against them, the hunters. His face suddenly changed drastically.

"Mother!"

But thinking of the support behind him, he felt reassured.

I was secretly thankful that the two countries had formed an offensive and defensive alliance in advance, otherwise the Iris hunting team would be in danger this time.

Although she had deep doubts about her cousin's reliability in terms of "money", the so-called "financial insurance" he mentioned was definitely not safe.

He calls others Lao Deng, but when it comes to money, he is the biggest Lao Deng.

But at least he is extremely reliable when it comes to fighting (annihilating a family).

It is clear that "there are thousands of powerful men on the sea, and Captain Byron has provoked half of them", but now he has few enemies on the surface. Instead, everyone praises him [Sea Hunter] for his loyalty, bravery, reliability, and kindness to others, which is proof of this!

Especially when a "pure and beautiful girl" like her meets a yellow-haired guy waving his hands in front of her, it will definitely work to wave him back on the spot.

Therefore, through the internal network of the King's Right Hand, the preset killing move in the [Golden Law] was activated at the first time.

——The art of parenting!

Open your little mouth and scream:
"what--!"

This is how she should locate her coordinates after she turns back into a "girl".
