Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 429 Thief! Who stole my panacea?

"Kill!"

"For my love, kill them all!"

"As long as I bring their heads back, my sister will definitely agree to marry me! Kill, kill, kill!"

The attackers were three teams composed entirely of [Lava Giants], three princes and six guards, a total of nine people.

As soon as I saw Byron and his group with my naked eyes, they all turned into little giants at least three meters tall.

Carrying all kinds of heavy weapons that glowed with gleaming lights, they took dozens of meters at a time, like nine unstoppable meteors, burning all the weeds on the way to ashes.

Yes, even with their abilities, in the giant kingdom-like land of Beast Paradise, the only things they could ignore were probably the weeds.

Thick smoke and flames billowed along the way, surrounding Byron and his party on three sides.

According to the estimated location, the place where this group of people were sent by the stone gate should be only a few kilometers away from them. After entering the trial, they probably didn't even have a moment to delay before killing them.

There may be others running for their lives in other directions.

Seeing this, Atahualpa was horrified:

"Are you crazy? What good will it do you to risk your life to kill us in the first level?
And Tequier, Yurapa, Ataguchu, haven't you all accepted my bribe? Aren't you afraid of the backlash of the contract? ! "

Under normal circumstances, unless one encounters a madman like the previous king [Dark Day of Death] Supayi who killed all his brothers, the main danger encountered during the coronation ceremony still comes from the secret realm.

Even if there is infighting, it will usually be in the final melee stage of the final level, when they will be the last enemies and naturally have nothing to worry about.

Byron proposed a match-fixing strategy to him, bribing those third-level princes who were looked down upon by others in advance, mainly targeting the final melee.

There is absolutely no sense in risking your life now!

“Your Highness, they are not crazy, but the Pleasure Feast Sisters under the command of the fourth-level succubus took action.

The 'lust' for the succubus has completely occupied their minds, which is why they are not tempted by the 'greed' in the secret realm.

Just like the principle of meditation, the meditative state is not about thinking about nothing, but about thinking about only one thing, eliminating other distracting thoughts through methods such as listening to the breath, keeping the center, and visualization.

So lust both controls them and protects them.”

Just as Byron expected, the succubus Therese Ashbell was obviously unwilling to be just a behind-the-scenes mastermind.

Removing guard captain Sinchiroka early was just the beginning.

Today, he actually sneaked in with the Second Prince and personally activated the backup plan that the half-succubi had implanted in certain trial participants using sexual techniques.

She didn't even want to wait for a trial, and wanted to kill Byron and Atahualpa who almost exposed her.

It is not known whether there are other means waiting for them in the future.

"Guards, summoned!"

Boom!

Violet immediately threw out her six [Gun Spirits].

When they landed, they had already combined with the 32-pound field guns, turning into six huge steel monsters.

Dust was flying and the rubber wheels under their feet were spinning rapidly, allowing them to draw an arc with extreme agility, guarding the three people in the middle.

A Tier 4 hero with the protection of a Heroic Guard is a truly complete hero, and it is also the beginning of the [Ladder of Glory] gradually equalizing the power of the [Bloodline Codex] by gathering everyone's strength.

In addition to the collective strength of the people, this fourth-level gunsmith who invented the copper-cased fixed bullet also had to add one more thing - technology!

Use technology as a lever to unlock power that is beyond the reach of your own rank.

Violet's aura of disaster connected with Byron, using his [Divine Vision] and Raven Positioning to provide guidance for the six demons.

"Fire!"

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Thunder exploded in the dense jungle, and six large-caliber bronze cannons spewed out flames at an unprecedented speed, illuminating the dim forest.

The long shotgun shell chain around you feeds bullets automatically, allowing you to fire continuously without manual reloading.

The hot metal storms enchanted by [Disaster Curse] and [Gun Master] merged into one, sweeping across the entire mountain forest centered on them.

Flowers, plants and trees were the first to suffer, not just the weeds, but even the tall trees that several people could hug were instantly riddled with holes.

Some of the enemies rushed forward without hesitation, relying on their fire elemental bodies, some took out high-level shields to resist, and some swung their heavy weapons into windmills.
They all took out an attitude of risking their lives for "love" and kept approaching step by step.

Beside him, with Byron's reminder, Atahualpa immediately understood the cause and effect, and said with a gloomy face:
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?
Including these three, there were a total of 72 brothers who finally accepted my bribes, accounting for % of the total.

We also signed a golden page contract with them to help each other according to your instructions.

If there are other brothers who are controlled and turn against each other like them, even if the binding force of the contract takes effect, there will be nothing we can do to them.

It doesn't matter if it's money or not, but I'm afraid all the preparations will go down the drain!" Byron smiled calmly:
"How could it be wasted? Have you forgotten that you lent me the money first, and I gave it to the servants?
In name, it is the money you gave, but in essence, it is my investment.

Now it’s time to pay it back.”

He took a step forward, flicked out a golden stock certificate, and shouted:
"Now I demand that the three shares I hold be sold, forced to split up, and completely cleared out!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a group of lava giants.

The ability of the holy relic "Sell" was activated instantly:
“When we go our separate ways, we can ask for a dividend settlement, forming a mystic treasure chest, and forcibly extract the wealth, knowledge, power, and treasures within the organization to offset the dividends.

The more equity you have, the more valuable the things you extract! ”

The only money invested in the various princes was the bribes from the previous few days.

The level of the treasure chest is obviously not as high as when you drew five dragons in Tayapan City, and you can get three fishing hooks: red, gold, and purple.

All they got from them was a red fishing hook of the lowest level.

Then it was time to test your luck again.

This time, Violet, who had the whitest face, was not allowed to draw the lottery, but all the lottery tickets were given to Atahualpa, who was destined to be rich in his life.

The latter did not disappoint Byron either.

After understanding the purpose of the fishing hooks, he was overjoyed at Byron's preparation of defeat before victory, and threw out three red fishing hooks with a wave of his hand.

collapse--!
collapse--!
collapse--!
Three sounds of the fishing line being tightened were heard, followed by a series of screams.

"Ah ah ah ah ah"

Three large pieces of holy gold bones emerged from the bodies of the three princes, followed by six other pieces that were much smaller.

Obviously, as soon as they received the bribe, they couldn't wait to integrate it into their own strength to increase their strength.

Now, not only has it been taken back, but high additional interest has also been charged.

The aura on his body plummeted and his spiritual light became extremely dim.

Even with Atahualpa's wealth, he was still smiling with a pile of sacred gold in his hands:

“I was worried that giving them too much money would have a bad impact, so I only gave them 200,000 pounds of gold each as pocket money.

What I got back today is holy gold. Although the amount is small, its value has doubled. I have made a lot of money!"

Looking at Byron beside him, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

In just seven days, the rate of return reached 100%, which is even better than lending money at high interest rates!
If he hadn't considered that the throne was more important, he would have wanted to cooperate with Byron specifically to create a big pig-killing scheme and cut a big piece of meat from the wealthy and powerful people in his country.

On the periphery, the nine [Lava Giants] who were coming to kill them were suddenly faced with such a sudden change. How could they care about the metal storm around them?

The moment he screamed and covered his head, he was mercilessly torn into pieces by Violet.

However, after eliminating three princes, who were also three political enemies, in one breath, Byron looked at the [Scarlet Holy Grail] in his hand with a rather unhappy expression.

“What’s going on? We only collected one-third of the normal amount?

I personally fought on the front lines in this "palace bloodshed" and was only given this much. Where did the remaining two-thirds go?

Could it be that they were all taken away by Therese who was performing the fifth-level ceremony?
You are too greedy. Don't let me meet you in advance. Then don't blame me for using your biggest health pack to swipe!"

On the other side, Therese Ashbel, who had reached the second level ahead of Byron and his party without encountering too many obstacles, also found that nine of the slaves under her control died at once.

There was no expression on her face. It would be best if she could kill Byron and his group. If she couldn't, she would continue to kill them.

Moreover, the nobles played dirty, so they didn't need to go to the front lines like a soldier. As long as their political enemies died because of their conspiracies and tricks, they could get a share.

But the next moment, after she checked the harvest in the [Blood Cup], her defense was broken just like Byron.

"Why is it only one third? Why is the harvest in the blood cup so small?

Who stole my panacea? ! ! "

Therese Ashbel couldn't help but get furious.

Originally, she thought that both the number of participants in this palace power struggle and the level of power were more than enough for her to be promoted to a fifth-rank pseudo-god.

However, I unexpectedly discovered that the harvest was far less than I had imagined, and a sense of gloom rose in my heart.

“Where did the other two-thirds go?”

Apparently, Byron and Therese performed the Scarlet Grail ceremony at the same time, but instead of dividing the reward in half according to their contributions, each received one third.

It was as if they were not the only two parties snatching the resources of the trial-takers, but there was also a third party that no one had noticed yet!
