Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 484: Rebalancing the battle force, it’s actually the Golden Apple Snail (6600)?
In a private cabin on the Dream Castle.

Invisible puppet threads gathered from all directions, interweaving into a huge "spider web", bringing together infinite amounts of information and the destinies of countless people.

Below the spider web, Louis, the Puppet King, who was entrenched in the central hub, was serious for once.

Instead of seeking pleasure with a group of beauties as usual, he changed into gorgeous aristocratic dress and sat on an ivory and gold-inlaid chair.

With a half glass of red wine in his hand, he leisurely enjoyed the war drama taking place in the "First Gyre".

However, the course of the war gradually deviated from the script he had written in advance, causing his brows to wrinkle into the shape of the Chinese character "川":

“Hmm, it seems that my assessment of the strength of the Wild Hunt and the Sea Hunter was wrong.

The potential strength they hold is so strong that it is really beyond my expectation.

[Wild Hunt] Byron Lancaster easily brought together all the fourth-tier pirate warlords in Blacksail Harbor to take action together.

Although it is still a big question whether those unruly pirates will continue to obey orders after getting the treasure, at least now he has some of the aura of a pirate king.

[Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor took out a new type of musket that had never appeared before, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness of his mortal soldiers, once again expanding the collective's power advantage over the individual.

If a mid-sequence transcendent encounters them, it is very likely that they will be defeated if they are not careful.

In view of the current situation, it seems a bit redundant for me to let the Treasure Fleet sail against the wind for three days to consume a lot of their physical strength.

At this rate, even if the Treasure Fleet's manpower is eventually wiped out, I cannot let these two forces suffer any serious damage and let me easily defeat them.

This is totally different from my expectations!"

Although [Puppet King] Louis colluded with foreign enemies and sold out national interests this time, he obviously still believed in his heart that the Castilians had the best military power in the world.

Without my help, these two groups of people specially hired would not have been able to keep the treasure fleet intact and cut off the retreat of the first mission target: [Green Lady] and the fourth-level totem god.

It was also impossible to leave them on this sea and prevent his brother Henry IV the Incompetent from having children of his own.

The reality is quite the opposite. The mortal enemy combination of [Sea Hunter] and [Wild Hunt] gave him a big "surprise".

After seeing that the Sea Hunter and Wild Hunt teams were gaining the upper hand on their respective battlefields, Louis shook his wine glass much faster, unable to conceal his impatience:

“What I hate most are accidents!
Fleet commander Dipo siblings, deputy commander [Matador] Roderick, this generation [Don Quixote], plus the Green Lady and the totem god, a total of six fourth-level ones, dealing with the two raiders is considered a match as planned in the script.

But even at this point in the naval battle, [Green Lady] was still able to remain calm and not offer any help.

Isn't she afraid that if the pirates take over the fleet, she will have nowhere to escape?

There is no future for a person who stays in his comfort zone. Why can't you jump out quickly and let me kill you?"

Another ten minutes passed.

When he saw that Violet, who already had the strength of the fourth level, was not consumed by the treasure fleet during the looting, but was promoted to a fourth-level mythical creature in public, he couldn't help but frowned deeply:
“I [the Puppet King] am not the Keats Institute in the church that is responsible for charity. I will not give these riches to you for free.

In my script, I am the only real protagonist, and you supporting characters have only one ending: death.

The more people who survive this battle, the more I will have to take care of myself.

The most perfect situation for me would be that all of you die together, leaving all the treasures and heads to me.

Since the plot is allowed to develop naturally, various uncontrollable accidents keep happening.

Let me correct the script, restore the balance of power, and give you three a boost."

Thinking of this, he solemnly took out the thirty-sided brass [Probability Dice] and threw it on the ground.

Clank, clank.
After the dice rolled for a while, it finally stopped at 18.

The Puppet King's face lit up with joy.

"good."

The points in the range of (10-20] are enough to affect a city with a population of tens of thousands, and are more than enough to reverse the fate of the three parties.

Immediately, several puppet threads extending from here began to vibrate collectively at an unprecedented high frequency.

The view returns to the three-way battlefield shrouded in heavy rain.

On the [Numa Nan Dan], an old shield, an iron spear, a set of armor, and a horse skull that originally belonged to the mount "Numa Nan Dan" all shine brightly.

Jeanna Don Quixote, who is extremely broad-minded, has once again activated her magical skill [Absurd Absurdity] that can change the form of objects and turn ideals into reality.

Rumble.
In addition to the giant-like heroic spirit [Don Quixote] who rides a ship as a horse, the three masts of this strange warship have all been transformed into the heroic spirit's knight attendants.

The nearly fifty-meter-high mainmast, the rigging, and the other two slightly shorter masts all came alive at once.

Two pairs of angry eyes appeared on the topsail, the dense sail ropes turned into tentacles waving wantonly, and the mast became a spear in the knight's hand.

They swung wildly like cranes, with thick masts that could accommodate dozens of people standing on them, sweeping across the deck with endless wind and thunder.

All the pirates who dared to board the ship were beaten away.

The power of the relic suit was added to it, as if it was covered with a layer of iron armor. The terrifying power made Byron, who had already transformed into the [Wild Hunt Knight], unwilling to take it head-on.

They were reluctant to sink the battleship and lose Princess Isabella's most valuable private property, which made Jeanne Don Quixote's cheating tactic really difficult to deal with.

"Let me try it!"

Violet has just been promoted to a mythical creature and is about to show off her skills.

He stretched out an orchid-like slender finger and drew the rune symbol in the air, while uttering a curse of disaster:

“Overwhelmed!”

The string of runes immediately turned into an ochre-colored light and suddenly rushed towards Jeanna Don Quixote.

It lit up the heaviest "burden" on her.

The latter screamed, and immediately lost his balance. He staggered forward, and only just in time did he stretch his legs and take a big step forward, barely able to steady himself.

This Don Quixote is not a mythical creature, he is still a mortal.

Every day, it is very hard to fight against gravity because of my size E bust.

Now, Violet's [Disaster Curse] made her suffer even more. The weight that was originally only more than two kilograms suddenly became more than twenty kilograms.

Even [ridiculous] began to shake along with her body.

Although this trick of "being overwhelmed" is a bit rogue, the effect is unexpectedly good.

Violet, the Taiwanese princess, finally has some of the charm of a witch who plays with everyone.

As to whether the inherent jealousy of [Leviathan of Jealousy] is at work, no one knows.

Byron, who was in charge of plundering the enemy nearby, immediately seized the opportunity and jumped back onto the boat on his ghostly warhorse that was flying in the air.

Just like the "ridiculous knight" Don Quixote who challenged the windmill many years ago, he flew in front of the giant transformed by the mizzenmast.

The knight's gun in his hand turned into a five-meter-long sword.

Pale blue light was flowing in and out between his mouth and nose, blending with the storm above his head. There was also a faint light seal floating above his head.

Endless storm elves cheered and leaped on the pitch-black blade, giving it a layer of sharp cold light that hurt people's eyes.

Secret technique [Breathing Technique·Storm King Seal].

Byron instantly borrowed one billionth of the power of the storm in the sky, and chopped down the long sword in his hand with a loud bang.

Stab it--!
With a flash of blazing white lightning, the thick rear mast, which was harder than a steel pillar after being blessed by the holy relic set, was cut in half by him with one stroke.

"Wild Hunt!"

"Wild Hunt!"

Just as the pirates were cheering for the prowess of their captain/quasi-speaker.

The collapsed mast fell heavily on the poop, and while the hull of the [Ruma Nandan] shook violently, half of the top floor of the beautifully decorated poop was also smashed down.

At this moment, a puppet string tied to the bow of the ship trembled suddenly.

Byron, who wanted to press on with the victory, accidentally glanced at the top floor room that had exploded.

At a close distance, [Divine Vision] seemed to vaguely see a figure.

At the same time, the logbook clearly showed a line of text - Valkyrie's Armor, Level 1 Relic [Aurora Guardian]:
"As long as you put on this armor, you will become a part of the light, and become one with the whole world and the light. Divination will be ineffective.

Only by conceptually cutting off the power of the Aurora can one find the true body beneath the armor and harm the owner of the armor.

Destiny: Just like the Valkyries who lead the heroes to Valhalla, they must be with the heroes and have a touching love story with them.

Note: This is a treasure handed down from the Wanmin pantheon in the mythological era. In addition to cutting off the aurora, you can also try to gain higher authority in the pantheon. "

Byron did not realize that the information read from the log was even more complete than the information the Kingdom of Castile itself had.

When he saw this, he couldn't help but think of a name he had just heard from the conversation between the Dibo brothers and sisters. [Green Lady] Angelica!
"It turned out to be her?"

As the king's confidant who was carrying out a secret mission, she chose to hide on the warship of her political enemy, the princess' party, after cutting off all contact with the outside world.

The darkest place is the easiest to be overlooked, and the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Even if someone was targeting me, no one would have thought of this possibility.

If the battle had not "accidentally" destroyed her hiding place, she would probably have put the escort mission first and stayed there until the end even if she had to watch the treasure fleet being destroyed.

The next moment, Byron felt a sudden chill down his spine.

The female figure who dodged the falling mast turned into light and flew away, holding two rapiers in her hands, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air as she flew towards him.

Faced with this unexpected situation, Byron's first subconscious reaction was: "Speed ​​is power. Have you ever been kicked in the head by the speed of light?"

clang--!
Just as he raised the long sword in his hand, a tall woman holding two swords appeared in front of him, and the crossed swords were pressed against the corners of the long sword.

Byron finally saw clearly that the person in front of him was a female knight wearing gorgeous armor, with flying red hair and a heroic face.

But at this moment, her eyes were filled with murderous intent mixed with anger, which destroyed her temperament.

"Damn pirate, how dare you interfere with my mission? Go to hell!"

The two translucent swords in his hands flashed continuously, and the sharp sword light pierced through the air and went straight to the vital points of Byron's body.

The five-meter-long sword in Byron's hand was instantly shortened to a half-sword. With the extraordinary speed of [Secret Finger Gun], he blocked the opponent's sword moves one by one.

After just a few brief exchanges, he was able to roughly determine the opponent's strengths.

The good news is that the supernatural power of [Aurora Guardian] is not omnipotent.

You can't attack when you're moving and defending, and you can't move and defend when you're attacking. You have to get out of that state of "being one with the light" to be lethal to others. Otherwise, you're just a ball of brilliant light.

The bad news is that the opponent's [Mirage Sword Technique] is extremely powerful in itself, and has also reached the level of a "Sword Saint" who has comprehended [Divine Vision].

The two translucent rare swords in his hands can make full use of the brightness changes of nearby light sources to confuse the opponent's senses. His sword styles are strange and hard to defend against.

The sword light carried Ms. Green's body to the left and then to the right, and her sword moves were extremely fierce.

Byron had unknowingly dismounted and was fighting on foot. The two men fought as they moved on the "Ruma Dantan", and had to dodge the mast giant's bombardment from time to time.

The sharp sword wind plowed deep grooves on the deck, as if a giant monster was passing through.

It is still a question whether the ship can continue to sail after the battle is over.

clang!clang!clang!
The onlookers could only see two afterimages entangled, with sparks flying from time to time. The rain curtain above their heads was shattered by their powerful force and turned into a swirling mist.

If a third-level transcendent were to go up, he would probably be chopped into pieces in just three or two moves.

Just as the two sides were fighting on a mainmast beam, they exchanged positions again. Then, [Green Lady] Angelica crossed her swords and raised them above her head, with colorful light flickering between her mouth and nose.

Suddenly, a flash of blazing white lightning streaked across the dark sky behind me.

In a flash of light and shadow, the two specially made swords suddenly became erratic. When another flash of lightning appeared, the two sword blades had disappeared at the same time.

Angelica shouted:
"Secret! Pirates, die!"

An illusory city with brilliant rays of light and countless figures appeared in the sky, transforming into a high-speed stream of light that submerged Byron on the opposite mast.

This was the strongest sword she swung with the [Mirage Sword Technique], taking advantage of the right time and place.

——【Secret: Mirage】!
It is equivalent to hundreds of people swinging swords at the same time. Each ray of light may be fake, or it may be a real, sharp sword light.

It is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and by the time the enemy reacts, they have most likely been chopped into pieces on the spot.

The only drawback was that the pre-swing was too long, and Violet, who was in charge of the coordination, seized the opportunity to launch a support. She once again moved the rune characters with her fingers and uttered a string of disaster spells:

"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"

"what--!"

Ms. Green's body couldn't help but tremble violently, and even with the strong will of a fourth-level monster knight, she couldn't help but let out a miserable groan.

Byron on the opposite side also took the opportunity to use the self-god of "Ming Shen Descent" to see through the death line of the mirage, and split the entire illusory city with a bright glow in half with one sword.

At the same time, he shouted:
"Why did you carve your name on my [Aurora Guardian]?"

Just as he was about to strike again with the sword to try out his sword skills that could see through the dead line, to see if he could cut off the aurora, cut the [Green Lady] in two with one sword, and retrieve the holy relics of the Bay People.

A gentle stream of water suddenly wrapped around the Green Lady's waist and dragged her back to the damaged poop.

When everyone looked back, they found that Ms. Green actually had a companion.

She was a charming and attractive aboriginal beauty, wearing a fist-sized green snail shell as decoration on her head.

Her clothes were very revealing, a black leather jacket that didn't have much fabric at all, exposing a large area of ​​her honey-colored skin.

Her bust is no less than that of Jeanne Don Quixote, and is even more exaggerated, giving people an extremely strong sensory impact.

Her every move and gesture exudes infinite charm, only slightly inferior to the succubus Therese who has infiltrated the Kingdom of Hastings.

More importantly, she has big breasts and a big butt, and at first glance she looks like a woman who is very fertile.

After the indigenous beauty rescued [Green Lady], she said to her bluntly:
“Hey, Angelica, you’ve already promised me that you’ll make me the princess of the most powerful country in the northern continent.

In exchange, I am willing to give that [Incompetent] at least a hundred children and give you my forbidden book.

I saved your life again this time, you owe me more.

If you dare to lie to me in the end, I will not be easily offended. "

There was a wildness in his words.

The repeated warnings to Ms. Green to keep the secret had long been forgotten.

Others were confused by the appearance of this indigenous woman, but Byron raised his eyebrows:
"Giving birth to children? 100? I think I understand what this is all about!"

Judging from her appearance, this indigenous woman was not the Quechua from the Sun Empire that he was very familiar with.

In addition to the almighty Sun Empire, there are many other ethnic groups living in every corner of the Beast Paradise on the Southern Continent.

Tupi, Guarani, Callijo, Mapuche, Selknam, and many more.

This aboriginal beauty should be from one of the tribes, and she is also a noble fourth-level totem god!
The logbook immediately displayed her brief information:
"Totem God [Gulf Stream Mother] Apasuna, age: 80 years old, power: Gulf Stream, fertility, pests.

The original body is a [Large Bottle Snail], also known as [Apple Snail]. Through the "Book of Beast Families" (Volume 2), it grew into a fourth-level totem god in the tropical rain forest in the north of the Beast Paradise."

At the same time, the unlocking density of [Secret: Crisis of the Treasure Fleet, Historical Influence 28] immediately increased from 58% to 80%.

Byron was only slightly startled, then he suddenly realized:
“So that’s how it is. This totem goddess [Gulf Stream Mother] is the one that the [Green Lady] mentioned by the Dibo brothers and sisters is responsible for escorting.

[Puppet King] The main purpose of leaking fleet information is also because of this!

He wants to stop his brother from having children."

All the fragmented clues were connected together, and all the previous questions and problems were answered.

[Incompetent] Henry IV was officially certified as "incompetent" by the Silver Law.

Of the three children born to the second queen, Joanna, both sons were confirmed to be the queen's illegitimate children, and the same was most likely true for the eldest daughter, Juana.

It's just that Enrique IV has been holding on for the sake of his last bit of face and right to succession to the throne.

The most urgent wish at this time is to give birth to offspring that truly belong to you and are indisputable, and take off the label of "incompetent" from your head.

It would be even better if you could gain eternal life at the same time.

Since the [Puppet King] Louis was so devoted to Princess Juana that he was willing to sacrifice the treasure fleet to stop his brother's good deeds.

As the "Father of Modern Medicine", Byron saw through everything in an instant.

He doesn't even need to do a paternity test to immediately tell there is only one truth.

——The former queen’s adulterer is most likely the Puppet King!

His attention was focused again on the [Gulf Stream Mother] Apasuna, and the green conch shell on her head seemed more and more familiar to him.

Then suddenly I realized:

"Wait! Is this a giant bottle snail with amazing reproductive capacity? Its origin is in the tropical rain forest in the north of the southern continent.

Hiss——! You are actually an apple snail, right? ! ! "

Ding, the density is increased by one.

I subconsciously took a step back immediately.

This name is very familiar to Byron.

How strong is the reproductive capacity of the golden apple snail?
It can lay eggs 20-40 times a year, with an annual egg production of 3 to 5 eggs. If it does not have the power to "reproduce", who else does?
This is evident from the fact that it was listed as a harmful invasive species in the foodie country of the previous life.

Of course, the main reason is that they contain a large number of parasites in their bodies, to the point where even big foodies can't eat them at all.

More importantly, detailed information followed the logbook.

The golden apple snails in the previous life were dioecious, but the "big bottle snail" here is obviously hermaphroditic!

This means that this [Gulf Stream Mother] actually does not need to look for other males.

There is no need to even cure the incompetence of Enrique IV the Incompetent, she can handle everything by herself.

"This"

Byron couldn't help but feel extremely sympathetic towards Enrique, the "Incompetent" man, whom he had never met before.

His Majesty the King thought he was about to marry a beautiful and virtuous snail girl, but unexpectedly, the one he was waiting for was an 80-year-old apple snail lady, uh, also apple snail uncle.

Add to that the various parasites that are rampant in its body. This thing is not a biological matrix but it’s not much different.

Byron automatically ignored the "Princess" mentioned by the other party from beginning to end.

There is no concept of monogamy in the southern continent, and she obviously doesn't mind her future husband having other women.

He also doesn't mind comforting the king's queen who is alone in her empty room.

Even if we can help this "Gulf Stream Mother" expand her reproductive rights, let alone 100 children, even 100 children per person would be no problem at all.

By the time Byron's brain was about to shut down when he thought of that scene, the battle had already started again.

"I'm going to steal your heart, liver, spleen and lungs!"

The [Thief Baron] Valeran, who had been lurking behind the opponent, waved his hand and used his title ability.

With a fierce scoop, he stole a bunch of pink snail eggs from the body of the Gulf Stream Mother.

Although Valerian changed the pirates' "robbing" into "stealing".

But the core of what is "randomly" stolen has not changed. What is the most abundant thing in the golden apple snail? Of course, it is the eggs! The probability of being stolen by him is also the highest.

[Gulf Stream Loving Mother] gave him a seductive look and licked the corner of her mouth:
"In fact, I have something more than snail eggs. If you want it, I will give it all to you, hehehe."

Although Valeran didn't know her hermaphroditic nature, he still couldn't help but shiver when he saw the somewhat lascivious gaze.

Under the control of the Puppet King, this side once again fell into a three-on-three combat balance.

But the situation was originally three against one, and the defender's situation was the best, but suddenly things took a turn for the worse.

The [Dungeater] One-eyed Owl, who was trying hard to block the sea monster Oarfish, suddenly saw an exquisite puppet who looked like a little boy walked out of an armed merchant ship next to him with the [Puppet King] emblem hanging on it.

He was wearing a proper formal dress, but had a very strange long nose.

He just lay on the side of the boat and asked the [Dung Eater] innocently:

"Sir, in the success theory you teach, who will be the one who can truly succeed and become rich in the end, the students or you?"

In those glassy eyes there gleamed the innocent malice that only a child could have:

"By the way, my father named me Pinocchio. Bad kids who lie to me will be turned into puppets!"

(End of this chapter)
