Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 386 The Emperor's New Clothes: He's Running Naked
"Look, there's a change!"

Dagon and Pohnpei looked extremely unhappy at first. The war situation had deteriorated to such an extent that it was obviously impossible to turn the situation around, but they really had no way to retreat.

After being completely polluted by the old gods, they were first followers of the old gods, and then became [false gods] with their own independent will.

There is no way they would allow themselves to lose the territory they had conquered with great difficulty after crawling out from the bottom of the sea.

This is not only a matter of territory, but also because the corpse of their own god lies behind the rift in the world!
Just like how the "Giant Insect Book Sect" was willing to wipe out the "Bloody Mary Sect" in order to monopolize the holy land of Shampoo Island, their clans will only become more fanatical about this holy land.

"The restoration of the source tide is not enough. The Bantaan Islands and the Old Continent are still far from being suitable for the survival of the clan.

This southern continent is our bridgehead for conquering the human world. Now, various sects serving the gods have spread throughout the entire east coast.

If we lose this excellent location for forming a natural formation ritual [Nightmare Triangle], we will have no choice but to cross the vast hinterland of the southern continent and go to the west coast, where the altitude is thousands of meters, to fight to the death with the indigenous Sun Empire established by the Quechua people.

This is the most powerful of the three indigenous empires, and its heritage from the mythological era is the most complete. The Azik and Taya empires are far from being comparable to them.

Now is not the time.”

On the battlefield before them, the "working fish" evolved from marine creatures had already suffered heavy losses after being caught in the crossfire between the sea monster army and the colonial fleet.

The Colonial Fleet also experienced two rounds of destruction from the legendary battleships and nightmare projections. In each round, one ship after another was wiped out. Even though they were blocked by the Galleon Collector and Byron respectively, they were still seriously damaged.

Both sides have played almost all the cards they can use, and what remains is a competition of damage tolerance and willpower.

A strategic turning point may come at any time.

But once those ghost warships were added, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Just when the two were devastated, Norwich York gave them a huge surprise.

"Come with me and kill the Blue Dragon King first!"

If they were not absolutely sure that they did not spend any money at all, they would have thought that this guy who only knew how to fight among himself regardless of the occasion was actually a traitor they had bribed.

He suddenly became energetic and shouted:
"We haven't lost yet, hold on!"

The mid-sequence extraordinary people on each ghost battleship can retain their sanity, while those below the mid-sequence can only retain the killing instinct, but their affiliations before death are still there.

Seeing the signal flag waving on the second-class battleship King Edward, all the other ghost warships nearby immediately surrounded the Blue Dragon King.

They mainly consist of warships and are much better at fleet battles than adventure ships and pirate ships. They consciously form simple battle lines in groups of three or five.

The [Golden Deer], however, acted as if it had nothing to do with it, and retreated at the fastest speed in the world, breaking out of the encirclement of the ghost ship.

But Byron on the boat reached out his hand into the air in front of him and pulled out a colorful and extremely luxurious new dress.

Shaking his head and sighing:

"Norwich York really has a short memory. I originally wanted to keep you until the end of the war before sending you on your way.

Now it seems that we should get rid of this trouble first."

What he fished out was the fully formed [First-level Holy Relic: The Emperor's New Clothes].

The task that Byron had assigned to Hawkeye James and the others was to take their bat clones to the New World or Luoyan City, land there first, and complete the final solution.

Unexpectedly, Dagon and his men moved Luoyan City directly to the center of the battlefield.

Just when he pulled the ghost fleet and Luoyan City from the dream into reality, the decryption density of [Secret: The Origin of the Mad Blood Disaster, Historical Influence 38] instantly increased from 92% to 100%.

This secret piece of history has a greater influence, and the treasure extracted from it is certainly stronger than the [Iron Nail That Destroyed a Nation]!

The deeds of the holy relics:
"You are the emperor's new clothes, you are the liar's lie of calling a horse a zebra, you are the fig leaf of the ministers' ignorance."

The complete information of the holy relic was then displayed in the logbook.

[Holy Relic: The Emperor's New Clothes]:
“In ancient times, there was an extravagant and foolish king who only cared about pursuing beautiful and luxurious clothes every day and never concentrated on governing his country.

One day, two swindlers claimed that they could make the most gorgeous dress in the world. However, this dress was not only as light as a feather, but also only sages could see it, and fools could not see it. They also asked for a lot of treasure to sew this dress.

In the end, everyone, including the king, claimed that they could see the dress in order to cover up their ignorance.

The king even ran naked in the street.

It was not until the innocent voice of the child, "But he has no clothes on!", that the lie was completely exposed and everyone woke up from their dream.

The effect of new clothes is threefold:

“1. [Calling a Deer a Horse]:
You can say good is bad, tall is short, and a deer is a horse. Everyone will believe your lies, and no one can expose them except a true saint.

2. [You really made me suffer]:
If a non-king uses this ability, he can put on the yellow robe and usurp the royal power of a kingdom.

Make it unable to tell which one is the real king.

According to one's own compatibility and conditions, one will inherit part of the other party's power. The better the basic conditions, the greater the power one can get. At the highest, one can stand shoulder to shoulder with the original king and become a co-king, sharing power equally.

The time limit is one day.

3. [He is streaking]:
Only when the tide goes out can you tell who has been swimming naked.

Giving this kind of power to a true king is equivalent to using a lie to elevate him to the altar of wisdom, which will produce an arbitrary and despotic effect of flattery.

When someone said to him, "But he has no clothes on," it would be like a flash of lightning across the night sky.

As the lie is exposed, everything built on it will collapse with it."

Each ability can be used once. When all three abilities are used up, [The Emperor's New Clothes] will disappear completely.

As Byron finished singing, the new clothes in his hand shone with even more dazzling brilliance, but only he, the "sage" with the aura of a saint, could see it.

He looked up at the Blue Dragon King and King Edward, both of which were approaching, and the two warships had the word "king" in their names. A wicked smile appeared on his face:

"It's easy to conquer territory, but difficult to defend it. The danger level of this southern continent is obviously much higher than that of the Bantaan Islands.

Even if we take down the whaling grounds today, there will surely be endless monsters, evil spirits, and followers emerging in the future, and the colonial countries headed by the Kingdom of Castile will surely come to get a piece of the pie.

Only strength can guarantee interests.

If I want to hold on to my share, I must have a magic needle to stabilize the sea.

Nothing could be more suitable for such a role than a powerful ghost warship belonging to the Kingdom of Hattings, and even our respected Majesty Edward IV would agree with it.

The name of this ghost battleship is King Edward!"

As he said this, he raised his hand and pointed suddenly at the Blue Dragon King.

A layer of colorful gauze that only he could see instantly enveloped the entire first-class battleship that was as big as a hill.

[Calling a Stag a Horse] is also a super enhanced version of "cognitive correction" being activated.

The next moment, in full view of everyone, the [Blue Dragon King] became the [King Edward], and the [King Edward] became the [Blue Dragon King] which was the target of everyone's criticism!
The identities of these two warships were quietly exchanged, and no one, including the fifth-level legend and the false god, noticed that something was wrong.

Then, Prince Sollenberg, who had received Byron's hint, showed a wicked smile exactly like his son's:

"In the name of the fleet commander, I order: All fleets load solid bullets and fire at the Blue Dragon King!"

"Yes, sir. All ships, fire salvos. All gun crews, open fire!"

Rumble.
The cannon fire mixed with ghostly green ghost lights suddenly illuminated the sea.

The defenseless "Blue Dragon King" and its captain, General Norwich York, were instantly destroyed in the siege led by the "King Edward"!
At the last moment when he was completely torn apart by the endless artillery fire, the old York, whose eyes were dull and he didn't even know who he was, only had time to move his dry lips and uttered helplessly:
"Woah, f**k!"
