Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 511 Chaotic Battle 1473: The Remit people were beaten again!

The Silver Age of the material world in the year 1473 quietly began amidst a large-scale war that had been going on for several months.

Even though it was a snowy January, the war on the Old Continent was still in full swing.

Driven by the international humanitarian spirit that the Holy Golden Empire would do its utmost to support its brothers in the Old World even if it had to tighten its belt, huge quantities of swords, munitions, cotton-padded clothes, military boots, and medicines were sent to major countries and opposition forces at the center of the war.

The Protestant princes of the Holy Silver Empire have quietly united together, and the secular elector coalition they formed not only resisted the counterattack of the Habsburg dynasty, but also approached the imperial capital, Vienna.

The three bay civilian reinforcements reserved by the Orthodox Church, Black Sail Port and Iron Anchor Bay, all refused to obey orders, and they had no way to deal with these two.

Only Margaret I, the Queen of Eternal Night of the three countries of the Kalmar Union, did not need the threat of hostages and sent troops to help at the first opportunity.

Moreover, because the southern part of the Three Kingdoms of Kalmar bordered the Hanseatic League, a commercial alliance in the north of the empire, their support was extremely fast.

The flames of war suddenly spread beyond the empire, and a war between nations over new and old beliefs was imminent.

At the same time, the war for the throne between the two queens in the Kingdom of Castile, the world's number one maritime power, also entered a fierce stage.

On land, the Regent King [Puppet King] Louis' endless puppet army gained the upper hand, and the ferocious puppets that could not be killed by muskets had a great impact on morale.

With the help of a loan from the Poor Knights, Queen Isabella of the Unsullied used the dragon flute to summon the dragon soul, thus avoiding the counterattack of the puppet army led by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to her base camp.

The situation at sea is exactly the opposite of that on land.

Isabella got help from her husband and cousin, King Ferdinand II of Aragon, overlord of the East Sea, and suppressed the Puppet King in the East Sea.

However, no one knows whether it is because the [Puppet King] promised some benefits to the mortal enemy, the Star-Moon Empire, or whether the Star-Moon Empire itself saw the opportunity.

He quickly dispatched his own navy to join forces with the Puppet King to attack the dual fleets of Isabella and Fernando. The four forces fought fiercely in the sea.

There is no need to say more about Hastings.

Although large troops could not be used in the ice and snow, both the Royal Party and the Earl's Party sent out elite teams of extraordinary people to carry out infiltration operations, blowing up enemy fortifications, poisoning water, assassinating important figures, and the killing was hard to separate.

The number of casualties decreased, but the quality increased sharply.

The hatred between the two sides grew deeper and deeper.

In addition to the fierce war in which the armies were openly engaged, all countries ruled by the Orthodox Church began to clear out Protestant believers from their own territories at the request of the church.

Some were massacred, some were captured and forced to fill the lines, and more fled for their lives with their families.

The influence of religion is deep-rooted and its destructive power is unprecedented. Many countries have been devastated by the economic decline and their people have been displaced.

But there is a place that seems to be blessed by God, and it is rising instead of falling.

The export volume of the Holy Golden Empire has been increasing exponentially, and now one month's export volume is almost equivalent to that of the entire year in the past.

Violet and Catherine also joined forces to copy the supply routines that were not applicable to the Hastings royal party and the earl's party to other forces, in order to maximize their profits.

The painful exchange was for a huge amount of gold, silver, and population. The original accumulation of capital became more and more abundant day by day.

As the Habsburg motto goes: "Let them fight, and we will be happy, rich, and happy."

This is not because we are bad-hearted, it is all because we are forced by the destiny of the "Industrial Revolution". We are helpless, so helpless, sigh.

If every country is considered a transcendent, the Holy Golden Empire is now laying the foundation for a breakthrough.

At that time, no one in the world was more qualified than them to launch the first industrial revolution.

When the Old World comes to its senses after the war, it will definitely be overwhelmed.

At the same time, the southern continent, which had shown signs of chaos since the beginning of the year, finally ushered in a major chaos with sparks flying everywhere.

The beginning of the new year.

A corner of the tropical rainforest in the northern part of the Zoo.

A slave-hunting team with a very complicated composition and whose origins are unknown is fleeing in the woods. In their panic, they drop their muskets, ropes, and nets all over the ground.

Seeing a settlement belonging to the Remit people appearing in the dense forest ahead, a trace of joy of surviving the disaster finally appeared on his face.

But the next moment, the smile froze on his face.

Just because a cold voice suddenly sounded above their heads:
"Are all the slaves captured by your slave-hunting team imprisoned here? Thank you for leading the way."

Looking up, they saw the white clouds rolling above their heads, and an extremely huge and beautiful existence cast a large shadow on them.

Groan——!
A high-pitched dragon roar resounded through the sky, and a mithril dragon with scales like countless silver mirrors and a body shining with silver light descended from the sky.

When wild animals flee, they will subconsciously flee to a base camp that gives them a sense of security, and the same is true for humans.

Before the slave-hunting team could run away, a breath of extremely hot [Breath Weapon] fell on their heads, instantly burning them to charcoal.

Byron, who grew another year older in the new year, rode on the dragon saddle that his sister had tailored for him.

Watching a large group of [Deathwing] who were native to the rainforest, and armed men from the Lighthouse Federation rushing into the settlement, rescuing the miserable Lighthouse Sequence extraordinary people from the Remit people's cells, and killing all the resistance fighters in the settlement who dared to draw their swords.

Among the rescued people were the pirate captain Schindler and his crew who had been captured years ago.

This is also thanks to the Black Sail Pirates under the command of the Wild Hunt who blocked the north-south shipping routes, so that they did not have time to be transferred out, but they still suffered a lot.

Because their main purpose is to act as "lamps" to illuminate the Sea of ​​Monsters in the search for [Noah's Ark], and they are not required to fight.

In order to reduce the cost of garrisoning, the Remit people simply cut off the limbs, dug out the eyes and tongues of many of the extraordinary people in the Lighthouse Sequence, and used black magic to roughly heal the wounds to prevent them from infection and death.

They were trapped in cages like wriggling maggots, fed only slop to drain their last bit of energy, leaving them with no possibility of escape.

If they still try to escape after this, even more terrible punishment awaits them.

Only the organs necessary for survival are retained, and all other parts are removed. The rest of the body can only be lived in jars and bottles.

The bloodiness and viciousness are simply shocking.

"Damn it!"

"So cruel!"

All the Lighthouse Sequence extraordinary people who witnessed this scene gritted their teeth and couldn't help but beat all the Remit people in the settlement half to death.

The Lighthouse Federation staff recorded all of this with gloomy faces using photo stones. It should be published in the newspapers tomorrow at the latest, exposing their atrocities to the world.

The Remit people distributed in various countries at this time mainly focus on the banking industry. They do not have the strength to control the media, let alone influence the mouthpiece of the Lighthouse Federation.

Even if you could get the world's first newspaper, which is known as the first "paparazzi" in the material world, can automatically write news reports and grasp every ripple in the ocean of human collective subconsciousness, it would not work.

Catherine got the job of the artificial man named Venus in Books. She finally had the chance to come to the southern continent with Byron, but she encountered such a tragedy. She couldn't help but frown:

“When I read the history books, I felt that the Remit people were constantly breaking the low point of humanity. I don’t think any group in the world is braver than them.

Aren't they afraid that once the truth is exposed, people will unite to fight against the enemy and drive them back to the sea from this land on which they have established their country with great difficulty?

Who would be willing to be their neighbor at that time?"

Previously, the top leaders of the Lighthouse Federation used the upgraded [Lighthouse Matrix] to search for the whereabouts of the missing persons, and they were busy for more than a month.

The powerful extraordinary abilities of many of the Gold and Yuan sequence professions among the Remit people caused a group of Lighthouse Federation executives led by President [Fire Thief] Alexander to go around in circles and do a lot of useless work.

Pawnbroker's [hush money]: prevent the news from leaking out from the occult;
[Money makes the world go round]: You can bribe the natural spirits that are everywhere in the southern continent and let them provide all kinds of false information to the [medium].
Banker's [Silver Good Servant]: The name comes from the famous saying of an economist "Money is a good servant but a bad master". After signing a contract with the employee, as long as you pay a small amount of agreed silver coins regularly, the other party must act as a good servant and give priority to meeting all your work requirements, regardless of family, kinship, love, and friendship.

[Golden Evil Master]: Similar to the Silver Good Servant, but more overbearing. By lending someone an excessive amount of gold, you force the other person to become a slave of money. He will have to struggle to repay the loan for the rest of his life, and most people cannot afford to pay the interest for their entire lives, and will be slaves like zombies until they die.
There is also a level 72 holy relic [King Solomon's Key] left by Solomon, the first king of the Remit people in the mythological era. It relies on its extraordinary status to block divination and even borrows the projections of gods and demons to create all kinds of troubles for them.

Although the Lighthouse Federation is large in size, it also shoulders heavy responsibilities. The senior management is already stretched thin, and it is impossible for them to stay in the Southern Continent and continue to waste time with them.

In the end, there were fewer and fewer people, and the others had to share the work of Delia's father [Spark] Rudolph, who was fully responsible for staying in the southern continent and leading the tracking.

Fortunately, the [Saint Byron Lens] tripled the power of the Pharos Lighthouse. After using clumsy methods to investigate bit by bit, we finally locked on to the real mastermind behind the scenes at the end of last year - Remit's "Golden Restoration Party".

They had a clear division of labor, and the capture of slaves in other directions was handled by bribed agents.

In the direction of the Barbary Pirate Kingdom, the capture was led by Saint Joseph himself, who wore the thirteenth [Ring of the Holy Saint] and was even able to directly capture all the Barbary people in a settlement at a time.

Therefore, on the tenth day after the New Year, which was the Day of Atonement for the Remit people, the Lighthouse Union organized people to launch a raid on the slave stronghold that had been caught.

Byron, the honorary vice president, was only responsible for a small part of it, as other large forces were attacking separately at the same time.

Hearing his sister's question, Byron sighed helplessly:

"It's not the first day that the Remit people have been behaving like this.

Listen to the teachings of the Remitian religion: even the most kind among the foreigners should be killed, and the children of foreigners are all animals.
What is a typical Remitian?
If you have a piece of bread and give half to a hungry Ramit, he will not thank you after taking the bread, but will turn around and kneel down to thank his god.

After thanking his God, he starts to think about getting the other half of the cake in your hand, and thinks about how to make you write an IOU for 100 cakes.

If you dare not give it to him, when you turn to leave, he will stab you with a knife, pick up the remaining half of the cake from beside your body, put your bloody fingerprint on the IOU, and go to your family to collect the debt.

This is the Remit people."

In fact, the three monotheistic religions that have the same origin are not very inclusive. Only by being different from others can one declare the nobility of being the chosen people of the Creator.

The Remitist Church uses blood as a bond, and is hostile to all non-Remitians, and wants to turn everyone into slaves; the Creator Church is hostile to all heretics who are not of my religion or race, and has launched countless massacres, judging people by their skin color first;
The Holy Spirit Church is the most open-minded, but it is also hostile to all people who do not belong to my religion.

"When I use the 'Royal State Church' to go public through a backdoor listing in the future and reintegrate the collective subconscious ocean of the Old Continent, this contradiction should be resolved, right?"

Byron was not sure whether his "seeking common ground while reserving differences" approach would work in the future.

But at least now, with his own abilities, there is no problem in saving these harmed Lighthouse Sequence extraordinary people.

Those imprisoned in this base are all low-sequence extraordinary beings, and their bodies are all mortals, so it doesn't cost much to cure them.

Byron flicked his finger and a drop of [Elixir] as crystal clear as agate flew into the air.

It then turned into a shower of raindrops filled with a strange fragrance, falling on the victims who had almost turned into human sticks.

Their damaged bodies immediately began to recover rapidly. In just a few breaths, the removed organs, limbs and hands all grew back.

The pirate captain Schindler, who failed to save others and ended up losing himself, saw that his lost limbs could actually be restored to their original state.

Gradually, some spirit appeared in his gray eyes, and then two lines of turbid hot tears flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably.

He trembled and prostrated himself on the ground, kissing the ground devoutly, and shouted from his chest with all his strength:
"Saint Byron! Messiah! I confess to you, I thought too highly of the Remitians!"

Then, an exceptionally thick chain of faith connected him and Byron together.

Byron turned his head to look at him and found that he had unintentionally gained another fanatic.

Then, under Schindler's leadership, many of the rescued Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinaries all knelt down and shouted:
"Saint Byron! The Messiah!"

"Saint Byron! The Messiah!"

Under normal circumstances, if a believer of a monotheistic religion is saved, they usually do not thank the savior.

Instead, they are more likely to thank the only God they believe in. The most famous example is "Thanksgiving Day".

But it is different with Saint Byron.

He is not only the savior of these victims, but also the "Holy Spirit" and "savior" "clearly stated" in the scriptures of the three religions!
The combination of the two identities made it easy for him to absorb everyone's thoughts and wishes, and also allowed his missionary cause to take the first solid step.

That's the benefit of having a claim and legitimacy.

You must know that only natural spirits can use the power of thoughts and will from the beginning of their birth. Only when human extraordinary beings are promoted to fourth-order mythical creatures and set foot in the realm of gods, will they have the conditions to actively cultivate believers and collect the power of thoughts and will.

Human thoughts and wishes are countless tiny "variables" and the "anchors" of mythical creatures in the material world.

Only when you reach the fifth level can you extract your own ladder of immortality and achieve immortality in one fell swoop through the power of these thoughts and wishes.

No one would complain that he has too few followers.

Today, Byron has finally expanded his followers beyond the Holy Golden Empire and reaped a lot of rewards.

At the same time, a troublesome problem was also placed before him.

“It would be best if I wait until my two identities merge into one and advance to the fifth level before designing my three-part honorific name.

Although it will waste a lot of willpower, there is no other way around it.

If it is designed in advance, it may lead to insufficient directionality, and if you are not careful, the two identities will really split into two people just like the angel of the Creator. "

Then Byron contacted the president [Fire Thief] Alexander, who was in charge of the overall situation, through the lighthouse network and asked them to send all the victims to him.

Saint Byron is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see so many of his fellow Lighthouse Sequence members suffer, so he is willing to treat them for free.

"Your Excellency Saint Byron, your kindness is shameful."

Alexander, who was worrying about how to deal with the aftermath, was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately ordered the operatives to do so. Byron also received gratitude from countless people in the Lighthouse Federation.

Putting aside the issue of equity ratio, based on his current prestige alone, after Alexander retires, there is a high probability that he will take the position of president through formal procedures and inherit the federation's heritage title of "Fire Thief".

Just when the entire Federation’s branch in the southern continent was busy.

Boom——! ! !
A bright ball of incandescent white light suddenly rose somewhere on the border between the Remit and the Barbary people, and then exploded, sending countless plants, soil, and river water into the sky.

Then the rumbling thunder in the clouds was heard, spreading for hundreds of kilometers.

Catherine immediately rushed into the sky with Byron and looked in the direction of the explosion. She immediately discovered that this scene was the aftermath of a fight between two people.

One of them is Saint Joseph of Rimet, and the other is the Barbary Pirate King [Ocean Throne].

Obviously, after the mastermind was exposed, the victims immediately retaliated. As a king, Barbarossa could not sit idly by and watch someone kill his own people.

Immediately, everyone near the battlefield could clearly hear the Pirate King's roar:
"Today! I, the pirate king of the West Coast Storm Ocean, [Ocean Throne] Barbarossa Hayreddin, on behalf of the Barbary Pirate Kingdom, declare war on the Remit People's Financial Restoration Party!

You Remitians should not exist in this world.

You lost your lands long ago.

The ancient Silver Empire took you in and even set up a Remit Province for the Remites to live together, but you took advantage of the fact that King Trajan was on an expedition to the east and the country was left unguarded to launch a rebellion.

After defeating the few defenders, they began to massacre civilians crazily, even peeling off the victims' skin to make clothes, eating their flesh, and feeding their corpses to wild beasts.

In Cyprus, Salamis and Numidia, a total of 22 civilians were brutally massacred by you.

You are so obedient in front of the rulers, but so cruel in front of the common people.

Fortunately, Trajan returned with two legions and immediately beat you beasts back to your original form.

The Imperial Legion fought along the coast of the Intermediate Sea from the easternmost end to the westernmost end, and the Remit people living along this line were almost wiped out.

Later you launched another rebellion, this time turning your knives against the Orthodox Christians, believing that they were unworthy of believing in your God. A large number of civilians who believed in the Creator were killed.

But you met Hadrian, one of the wisest kings of the Silver Empire, who built the wonder of civilization among all nations, the [Northern Wall].

He learned the lesson from the Trajan period, completely abolished the Remit Province, and dispersed the entire Remit community. From then on, you officially started your world of exile.

Then there was Titus, who could no longer tolerate your repeated rebellions and launched a massacre in the Holy City, and later the Star-Moon Empire.
For more than a thousand years, you have suffered countless massacres and expulsions. Countless nations have sympathized with you and accepted you, but you have repaid them with betrayal every time.

Even so, you always arrogantly think of yourself as a superior race, the chosen people of the Creator who are superior to others.

You never reflect on past lessons, and you always bring destruction, vilification, exclusion and hostility to other nations.

I declare that this history has come to an end! What you can do, we can do too!

From this day forward, wherever the Barbaries go, they will send all of you away.

And we Barbaries are not as cruel as you Remites.

Come on, turn the wheel over for me! "

With his order, the Barbary pirates who had made preparations in advance rushed in from the border between the two countries like a tide.

"Kill!"

"Revenge for our loved ones!"

The Remit people were once again wielded with a butcher knife, and anything taller than the wheels was chopped off.

Not surprisingly, a considerable portion of the weapons in the hands of the Barbary pirates were also manufactured by Rheinmetall.

After Byron ate the Old World, he ate the Southern World.

Now, the Bantaan Islands, which he ruled, were the only islands in the entire known world that had not been plunged into war. Instead, they were still developing rapidly, having left everyone else two steps behind.

If this continues for a few years, no one will be able to catch up with him.

Later, after treating the wounded, Byron was about to take Catherine back to the base camp, but suddenly he received a message from Hastings, and his face immediately brightened with joy.

"Byron, what's wrong?"

Seeing the familiar smile on Byron's face, Catherine was sure that someone was about to get into trouble again.

As she expected, Byron smiled grimly:
"Ever since we learned last year that Elizabeth Woodville and her brother wanted to marry you and embezzle our family's property, the revenge we have been preparing for has finally found its opportunity.

Therese just sent a message that Queen Elizabeth's father, Richard Woodville, was ambushed by the Kingmaker organization during the battle.

He relied on a holy relic [Rupert's Tear] to block the fatal injury, but he was still seriously injured.

Now they are hiding in the still snow-covered forests of the northern Gelt Highlands.

She deduced that old Woodville was fleeing towards the territory of Prince Thornburg, probably preparing to ask for help from the Devil Duke.

Now both the Earl's party and the Royalist party were chasing the old man in the snow-covered forest.

This is not just a prisoner, but also an extremely lucrative political bargaining chip.

I remember that Edward IV had already given us Thornburg and some of its affiliated manors again in order to allow the Sea Hunter to attract the firepower of the Wild Hunt.

Now we just need to do business well in other places. I think it's time for us to focus back on the Kingdom of Hastings, starting with collecting the first interest this time!"
