Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 474: Pirate Commander, Not the Same as Before (7300)

The commotion at the port naturally alarmed other pirates and various forces in Black Sail Port, as well as several heavyweight fourth-level pirate warlords.

In the center of the pirate group's base flying the Golden Fleece flag, there is not a garden villa or a fortress castle, but a luxurious sheepfold.

Meow~
The bleating of sheep can be heard from morning till night.

However, no one in the troubled Golden Fleece Pirates dared to express a different opinion, because this was the residence of the pirate warlord Captain Goat.

A young pirate who looked young hurried to the outside of the sheepfold and shouted at a majestic goat covered with golden wool inside:
"Captain, the first mate asked me to report to you that a ship belonging to the Princess of Iron Anchor Bay, the Flaming Rose, has just arrived outside Black Sail Harbor.

The first mate asked you for instructions on how we should respond? Should we give her a warning? "

The golden-haired goat, who was working hard among a group of beautiful sheep, suddenly turned around.

However, the goat captain's body had only changed into a goat, while his head still retained most of its human shape, except that he had horns, a beard, and square eyes.

The young pirate and the captain looked at each other with their square pupils that seemed to lead straight to hell, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble violently.

Although he had only joined the Golden Fleece Pirates for a few days, it was the first time he saw the captain's legendary goat form.

But as a not-so-devout believer in the Creator, he at least knew a little.

In God's scriptures, sheep are generally regarded as obedient and docile beings, so they symbolize good people, who are placed on the right side to enjoy blessings in the judgment of the Son of God;
The goat represents selfishness, cruelty and promiscuity. It is considered by the church to be the representative of the devil and will be placed on the left to suffer the torture of hell.

Now, just by being looked at by the golden goat, he thought he had fallen into hell and had to force himself not to scream.

Until [Captain Goat] Alex withdrew his gaze and slowly climbed down from a female goat.

The young man finally realized that reporting to the captain was not a good job to show off, and he couldn't help feeling angry at the first mate and his companions who deliberately gave him the opportunity.

Then Alex shook off the golden fleece and turned back into a normal human form.

He was thin, with a face shaped like an inverted triangle of a goat, a tuft of golden goatee, and two faint bulges at his hairline, which were hidden by a triangular captain's hat.

Perhaps his good mood was ruined by this reckless young pirate, and his face was obviously gloomy.

After walking out of the sheep pen, he patted the young pirate who was smiling apologetically.

Bang!
A flash of light exploded in the palm of his hand, and the young pirate's body froze instantly. Then he watched in horror as he slowly turned into a little lamb.

"Mee~mee~." (Spare my life, run for your life, Captain!)

It is black witchcraft: the sheep transformation technique!
Alex finally vented some of his anger and walked towards the dock with his hands behind his back.

Along the way, he could see "goat-headed men" who looked a bit like him in his Golden Fleece Pirates, and they all called him "Father."

Apparently, the legendary Golden Fleece, besides keeping people young forever, also has many unknown secrets.

Another pirate warlord, [Thief Baron] Valerian, who had just returned to Blacksail Harbor not long ago, was still drinking in a tavern in the port area at this time.

This is a typical Beidiwan citizen, with slightly curly black hair, a strand of which hangs down in front of his forehead, and a hint of melancholy in his blue eyes. He is the type of handsome uncle who is known as the "friend of middle-aged and elderly women."

But what he was doing was obviously totally inconsistent with his good looks.

There were many drunkards in the tavern, and no one who passed by him could keep his wallet.

The speed of the theft was so fast that even if you stared closely at his hands, you would not be able to detect his process of committing the crime.

While stealing, he criticized and mocked the owner of the purse:

"Ten pounds, twenty-four silver knaats, eight copper florins, and a poor fellow."

"This is okay, twenty pounds and a bearer certificate of deposit of three hundred pounds from the Vanguard Bank."

The special effect of the title [Thief Baron] allows Valerian to steal other people's abilities without anyone noticing, unlike other pirates, who have to defeat their opponents in order to plunder their extraordinary abilities.

However, he also passively developed a habit of stealing. Even though he was already wealthy, he still couldn't control the desire to steal from others.

Moreover, this habit will infect those followers with weak wills, leading them to the path of complicity.

There were several pirate officers at the same table who were also from the bay. Two of them were just like him. They moved their fingers nimbly and obtained money bags or other valuable items one by one without being discovered by anyone from beginning to end.

After noticing the commotion in the direction of the dock, a group of Bay Pirates all looked towards the pirate ship that was slowly docking at the shore under the guidance of the [Navigator].

bass--!
At the same time, they jumped up from their stools like springs.

Even the money bags they had just found fell to the ground with a clink, and the owners looked at them without caring.

Now we are just stealing in secret. If someone dares to argue with us, we will just change it to robbery openly. It is not a big deal.

"That's the Princess's Flaming Rose? Your Highness has come to Black Sail Harbor as well?"

"It's Your Highness, it's really Your Highness!"

However, after a moment of excitement, this group of Bay People pirates, including the [Thief Baron] Valerian, sat back dejectedly.

Valerian stared at the battleship, picked up the glass and drank the beer in it, then heaved a long sigh, and his already melancholy eyes showed a little more shame:
"Dennis the Child Guardian and I were both pirate officers on His Majesty the Whaler's ship.

He is the oldest and the most daring, while I am the youngest but the most talented.

Before His Majesty left Anchor Bay to pursue the prophecy of revival, he left Dennis and me behind to let this combination of berserker and thief be responsible for looking after Anchor Bay and Her Royal Highness the Princess in the open and in secret.

Dennis has been working diligently in the base camp, and in order to improve my strength as quickly as possible, I chose to look for opportunities in Black Sail Harbor.

I didn't expect that at the end of last year, I just went on an ordinary expedition to the Broken Isles, and when I came back, I heard the news that Dennis died unexpectedly and the princess was forced to abdicate by Edward Beard.

Even Anchor Bay was almost killed by the old gods due to the conspiracy of the White Rose York family.

Before he could even set off back, everything had been settled with the help of the Wild Hunt.

I really don't know how to face His Highness when you are not around to share the hardships with me, and I don't know where His Majesty is now!"

The Pirate King's background is there, and the fourth-level pirate commander under the Whaler is obviously not just the former "Child Guardian" Dennis.

He did not just care about his own ideals and ignore his daughter and the base camp.

This [Thief Baron] was supposed to be a backup, but he was unable to provide any help in the crisis. He was obviously too embarrassed to see Violet.

If nothing had happened at Anchor Bay in the end, he would have wanted to commit suicide.

The first mate next to him comforted him:

"Captain, don't be nostalgic for now. This Black Sail Port is not like our own Iron Anchor Bay, which has 100,000 Bay residents as ballast. The composition of the personnel is too complicated.

The princess has a special identity and is on the York family's wanted list. If she comes here rashly, she will probably attract a lot of malicious eyes.

The other three pirate commanders are not good people either. The princess is talented but too young, and she might suffer a great loss if she is not careful.

We have failed His Majesty the Whale Hunter once, and we cannot let anything happen to His Majesty again."

Awakened by the first mate's words, the Thief Baron immediately came to his senses from his self-blame, stood up and gave the order:
"Call someone, call all of us over here, we will go and support His Highness."

However, before they could send a signal to call their own crew over.

However, many Bay pirates in the city seemed to have received the news long ago, and they lined up in neat queues from all over Black Sail Harbor and rushed to the port.

Although they look dressed differently, their destination is surprisingly the same.

"Hmm? What's going on with these younger generations of the Bay Citizens?"

[Thief Baron] walked out of the bar and found that many of these tribesmen were rising stars who had made a name for themselves in recent months.

Their unified characteristics are that they are well-equipped, well-trained, highly organized and extremely loyal. In one word, they can be described as "professional pirates", or even regular troops!

There is no comparison between wild pirates and them. Even the direct troops of the pirate king Whaler Hunter were no more than this at best.

Not long after they returned from the south, they noticed this group, but to this day they have not been able to figure out their background.

Now it seems that we can vaguely guess the answer.

Under the leadership of those pirate "rising stars", many ordinary Gulf pirates also subconsciously followed.

In the [Ladder of Glory] sequence, a person's extraordinary career is his actual career in the social system and is also part of the normal operation of the entire human world.

If extraordinary professionals want to be promoted, they must abide by their respective professional norms and fulfill their job responsibilities.

For the [Pirates] of the Lighthouse Sequence, unless they want to stop moving forward, they must engage in piracy until the end of the world.

As the outstanding native pirates from the east and west coasts left.

This led to the gradual decline of Iron Anchor Bay. The only fourth-level hero was the deceased [Child Guardian], and there were only five or six third-level pirates.

Among them, most of the ambitious and qualified players were concentrated in the colonies. Only here was there sufficient wealth for them to put into practice the motto: "Force is better than hard work."

It's not just the hidden thread left by the pirate king, the Rogue Baron. Most of the pirates from Anchor Bay have always been subjects of Harold's royal family.

As long as the flag of the only pirate king, Jack Harold the Whale Hunter, remains high, the Harold royal family will have a huge influence in the pirate community that cannot be ignored.

When everyone on the Flaming Rose filed off, a dozen boats and a group of nearly a thousand Bay Area pirates had already gathered at the dock.

They were fully armed and lined up neatly at the end of the pier, keeping other bay residents and free pirates who came to join in the fun outside, naturally forming a security barrier.

The newly arrived [Flaming Rose] didn't look like a guest visiting Blacksail Harbor for the first time at all. Instead, it felt like it was returning home. No, it was like the return of a king.

"They are all Her Royal Highness the Princess's people?!"

The Thief Baron, who hurried to the dock but was blocked outside, saw this scene.

Suddenly, he realized that Princess Violet was no longer the pitiful little girl whom the Pirate King had entrusted to him.

He thought that Violet had disappeared this year because she was hiding quietly, but judging from the situation, it was clear that she was secretly planning something big.

He had inadvertently grown to the point where even he, a fourth-rank pirate commander, had to look up to him.

Even the Thief Baron himself did not notice that before he and Violet met, the vague "uncle" mentality in his heart had quietly disappeared without a trace.

Even this pirate commander is like this, not to mention the other ordinary Bay pirates who already have awe of the royal family.

And no matter what, Violet is the only heir to the Pirate King.

He is also one of the direct descendants of [Blue Dragon King] Reinhard, the founder of the North Sea Empire, the drafter of the [Pirate Code], and is closest to the Pirate Code.

No matter how powerful the various princes who have ambitions to seize the [Pirate Code] are, as long as they are not strong enough to ignore the pirate circle and other competitors, they can just get by on the surface.

Da da da.
The dock was completely silent, with only the sound of clear footsteps going down the gangway, which struck the onlookers' hearts like a hammer.

First, there was a pair of exquisite combat boots with silver metal stiletto heels, then there was the skirt that was so white that it was a little dazzling, the slender waist that seemed to be bent, and the exquisite slim-fitting dress.

His right arm was covered with a pair of silver-shining rare arm armor, his brilliant silver hair was tied up and he wore a crown-shaped sapphire hair crown.

The two styles are perfectly combined in her, making people feel that this is what a pirate princess should look like at first sight.

Her beautiful face also returned to the cold, noble, and aloof look of a young lady she had before she met Byron.

Such a girl is so bright and beautiful, as if her whole body is shining.

Appearing in this pirate port is like a beautiful princess dressed in jewels coming to the slums, or like a gorgeous rose growing in a thorny wilderness, making people feel ashamed and even suffocated.

The onlookers widened their eyes, and would feel greatly honored if the other party could just look at them a little longer.

However, even such a dazzling pirate princess could not conceal the presence of another figure beside her.

He was a tall knight wearing a black full-body armor and a blood-red cape. Standing next to Violet, whose height was increased to 170 cm by high heels, he was still as reliable as an impenetrable wall.

"sizzle"

The moment they saw him, there was a gasp from the onlookers.

"Wild Hunt?!"

"This is the Wild Hunt who destroyed the First Fleet of Hastings in Anchor Bay, killed the Conqueror Cortes in the Azk Royal City, and stole the Golden Code!"

“Not only that, I heard that the reason why the Kingdom of Castile failed to wipe out the indigenous people with the smallpox plague was because it was blocked by the Wild Hunt.

The maritime hegemon suffered a lot at his hands."

The last time the Wild Hunt appeared was at the beginning of this year. Although he did not appear many times, every time he appeared, he did something earth-shattering.

With 27 points of legend, he is not far from the 30 points of world-famous.

More importantly, this time [Wild Hunt] did not wear a helmet, but revealed his true face.

She has neat short black hair and extremely deep blue eyes.

There was a faint blue flame flowing in his eyes. Anyone who dared to look him in the eye would immediately feel as if their soul was frozen.

Some sharp-eyed pirates looked at this scene and suddenly exclaimed:

"I know him. This is the last heir of the Lancaster dynasty of Hattings, [Son of the Devil] Byron Lancaster!"

"The Wild Hunt, who debuted as a mid-sequence Beyonder, and Byron Lancaster are actually the same person?

My Creator, how is this possible?"

However, the wanted poster drawn by the Palace Sequence [Painter], which was comparable to a photo, was still hanging on the port's billboard, forcing them to believe that this was the fact.

The more knowledgeable ones showed excitement:

“Since the heirs of Lancaster and Harold have been together since Anchor Bay.

Does this mean that the two direct descendants of the Pirate Emperor [Blue Dragon King] Reinhardt have merged?
This is going to be a big deal!"

"I heard that the [Queen of Eternal Night] of the Kalmar Union only has one grandson who may die at any time. These two are currently the only direct descendants of the Pirate Emperor, right?"

“I see. It must be because of the civil war in Hastings that the Wild Hunt Byron Lancaster saw an opportunity, so he prepared to make a move in the colony.

Being attacked from both sides, White Rose is having a headache."

Someone automatically imagined a perfect reason for the sudden appearance of Wild Hunt.

And when someone is excited, there must be someone with bad intentions.

However, the spies of certain forces far away immediately thought of another powerful figure in the Kingdom of Hastings who also became famous at about the same time - [Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor!
"Hahaha, you guys produced so many talented people, but now you are reaping the consequences, right?
The Earl of Stromgarde from the White Rose York camp is in the limelight. In the recent dispute over religious rights, even the Kingdom of Castile was humiliated by him.

He is also having a hot affair with that super rich Miss Mithril Dragon.

It would be exciting to think about facing off against the Red Rose's [Wild Hunt] Byron Lancaster.

Not only do they belong to two different camps, but they also have a blood feud and hatred for their wives. There should be something interesting to watch soon."

Any force with interests in the Bantaan Islands would like them to start a fight as soon as possible.

After all, if you eat one more bite, others will eat one less bite. This is the law of nature and is not affected by human nature at all. Even our ally, the Iris Kingdom, is no exception.

And this is exactly the effect Byron wanted!
There was no need for him to actually attack his own Hastings colony in person. The countless forces here would naturally pass on the information of his appearance.

With foreign enemies around, Edward IV did not dare to over-exploit the colonial residents and shake the foundation of his rule.

Just like when the bald eagle faces a powerful enemy like the polar bear, even blue-collar workers can live in a big mansion.

Byron waved to his entourage and the pirate troops that had been stationed here in advance:
"Let's go. Let's not go to the base today. Let's go directly to the meeting room."

Two people walking hand in hand in an intimate posture.

Behind him was a group of "Death Wings" drawn from the Lancaster Party, each carrying a short-handled battle axe, and a scimitar and a musket on their waist.

Led by Bruch, who also revealed his true face, and the [Sea Mage] Salant, who had transformed into a human body with a fish head and a somewhat dull look in his eyes, they strode behind with an imposing manner, like a group of moving iron towers.

When dealing with brutal pirates, it's no use being polite and gentlemanly.

Only if you are more ruthless, more domineering and more cunning than them will they fear you, follow you and obey you.

Byron and Violet, two fourth-level warriors who work in perfect harmony with each other, plus the Royal Guards and over a thousand elite pirates, dare to confront any one or even two pirate warlords head-on.

At this moment, swords and guns are justice, and power is truth!

I have the bigger fist so I have the final say.

The huge group of people marched along the crooked Central Street.

The bumpy streets are full of high-drinking pirates performing "strange acts" like zombies. The roads are dilapidated and full of sewage, which shows that public management is dysfunctional and has failed!

There are densely packed and messy buildings on both sides of the street, which are uneven as if they were chewed by a dog. It is obvious that there was no good planning at the beginning of construction. It is a failure!

One out of every four buildings on the street was a tavern or a brothel.

Most of the other shops are casinos, weapon shops, or pharmacies selling various contraband, as well as banks and black markets run by the Remit people.

However, there is no safety guarantee for consumers, which is a failure among failures!
The pirates who lived on the edge of death would return here to have fun after every robbery, looking for beautiful women and rum. If they had money, they would get everything, but if they had no money, they would lose everything.

This city is undoubtedly a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor.

“This state of disorder must end.”

Neither Byron nor Violet had moral purities and they knew very well that where there is sunshine there is shadow.

Even if great efforts were made to clear out such places, it would only leave a power vacuum for those who came later, which would be filled again in a few years.

Unless we promote the high development of productivity in all countries and make the rewards of stable jobs greater than risking life, this is the fundamental measure to eliminate most crimes and piracy.

The two of them seemed to have already treated this place as their own property and began to make preliminary plans.

The team is halfway there.

Just when Byron and Violet were feeling a little regretful that they had used this trick to gain the upper hand and that there might not be any "chickens" jumping out to ask them to show their knives, there was a sudden commotion on the street ahead.

"Get out of the way, everyone!"

A male pirate with a huge pumpkin head was running desperately on the opposite street, wielding a sharp Fisher sword in his hand.

Anyone who dared to block the way would be chopped down without hesitation, and screams and chaos were heard everywhere.

There were quite a few people chasing after him, and it seemed that they were afraid to attack directly at Pumpkinhead because of some rules.

"Chase him, chase him, and capture him alive.

This time the witch candy belongs to us, the Groundhog Pirates."

"Be careful not to break the pumpkin. If you break the rules, you'll be in trouble."

Seeing this unexpected incident, the accompanying pirates immediately stepped forward to explain to Byron and Violet:

"Captain, this is a routine program that has suddenly been launched since the Candy Witch Ivanka returned to Black Sail Harbor.

Every few days, a 'lucky person' will be randomly selected, given a pumpkin head, and the whole city will play a big chase game together, with only low-sequence characters allowed to participate.

Whoever can capture the 'lucky guy' alive can steal a black magic candy hidden in the witch's pumpkin head.

As long as you eat it, you can recover all physical injuries without any side effects and extend your life by two years.

If the 'lucky guy' manages to escape into the sea, he can draw a bit of spirituality from all the game participants and greatly increase his strength.

Recently, many second-level extraordinary people who think they are quite powerful have taken the initiative to ask to become "Pumpkin Head" and join the game, and the witch also gladly agreed.

However, if anyone dares to break the rules, they will anger the fourth-level witch, and even a great pirate will not be able to leave Black Sail Port alive."

Byron nodded and glanced at the information displayed on the [Ship Log]:
"The forbidden book "Candy Fairy Tale Book" series ritual "Trick or Treat"."

He knew from the intelligence he had gathered in advance that the witch was seen by outsiders as a desperate fun-loving, neurotic person who pursued mischief at all costs.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I understand that all those bloody "pranks" are probably ritual witchcraft used by the other party to enhance their strength.

The pirate town was used by the other side as a "pasture" for harvesting wool.

He couldn't help but frown.

Soon, in just a few breaths, the "Pumpkin Head" with second-level strength on the opposite side came to Byron and Violet with great ferocity.

"you."

When they were almost face to face, they discovered that in the pirate city, which had always been unorganized and undisciplined, there was unexpectedly such a large team.

In his hasty escape, he was unable to recognize the identities of Byron and Violet.

He leaped up and used the pirate's [Mountain Goat Steps] to jump onto the roof and pass over the heads of Byron and his group.

Then he used this team to block the pursuers, allowing him to escape successfully and accumulate enough spiritual power to be promoted to the third-level pirate.

Anyway, he firmly believed that with the rules set by the Candy Witch, no foreign pirate would risk angering the witch and focusing fire on him to break the pumpkin head.

But as soon as he jumped, his face changed drastically.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Without Byron's command, dozens of short-handled battle axes flew towards him like a storm.

"Wait! Aren't you afraid?"

Before he could finish his threat, he was completely engulfed by the axe.

Bang!
The pumpkin head exploded on the spot, and huge blood splashed all over the ground.

There were also many identical red candies thrown out, but it was impossible to tell which one was the truly effective black witchcraft candy.

The huge team continued to move forward, but no one felt sorry for the life-extending candy on the ground.

As long as you make contributions within your own organization, you will receive incentives that are ten or a hundred times more powerful than this.

On the contrary, if we give in to the rules set by the "Candy Witch", the initial advantage will immediately become a huge joke.

It would be fine if Pumpkinhead and the witch don't come over on their own initiative, but if they do, don't blame Byron for using them to kill the chicken.

Teaching people with words a hundred times is useless, but teaching people with things once will touch their hearts.

If you won't listen to reason, I do know a little bit about fighting.

“We didn’t come to Pirate City this time to make friends with these most powerful villains on the sea.

We are here to do three things: conquer! conquer! and damn conquer!

Until he became the uncrowned king of the Bantaan pirates."

Byron laughed particularly happily when he saw an angry figure riding on a broom rushing out at high speed from a high tower in the city center.
