Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 516 If I can’t save my father-in-law, I will bury their entire family with him!

The time is slightly advanced.

[Wonder of Civilization: The Great Wall of the North] North side.

Since this northern wall, which has stood in the Channel Islands for a thousand years, was ordered to be built by Hadrian, the great ruler who abolished the settlement of the Remit people, it is also called Hadrian's Wall.

From the time it was built until it was abandoned, it had always been the northeastern border of the Silver Empire.

The Northern Wall includes city walls, watchtowers, forts and castles, etc., and together with the Antonine Wall and the Raetien Wall, it constitutes the Great Wall system of the Ancient Silver Empire.

The main purpose of its initial construction was to defend against the three major barbarian tribes in the north.

As for why it is useless now? And where did the three barbarian tribes go?
Now, those who have established the Holy Silver Empire and are in charge of this continent are the barbarians of the past.

The true pure-blooded imperial people had long disappeared in the tide of national integration.

For the church states, apart from the incomplete historical relics, the grand empire that once hung high above their heads and that they could only look up to has long since turned into the dust of history.

That’s why there is a consensus that the Holy Silver Empire is neither holy nor silver, nor is it an empire. It really has nothing to do with the ancient empire.

Now, if we ask where the legitimacy of the Silver Empire lies, it may be a big question mark that is difficult to answer for historians.

tread!
A tall and mighty figure, whose entire body was thin and almost invisible, leaped forward like flying on the crumbling stones of the Northern Great Wall, without leaving any traceable footprints on the snow.

He was wearing light armor made of monster fur, with a ferocious wolf head on the shoulder guard, a half-handled sword slung over his waist, his hair was gray but not messy, and his iconic blue eyes flashed with the cunning of a wolf king.

Although old Woodville was clearly running for his life at this time, he seemed extremely calm and composed, and his every move was full of composure.

In fact, no one could find him.

Even though animal companions released by Hunters, Adventurers, and Tamers flew overhead from time to time, none of them stayed on him for even a moment.

He was also patient enough. Even when he saw friendly forces, he had no intention of showing up. He just walked towards the core control area of ​​the royal party.

“Haha, as the Taiwanese people say, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

When I was young, I was just an ordinary [Highland Knight]. The only secret that allowed me to survive the Hundred Years' War, the War of the Red and White Roses, and up to the current Two-Party War is to be cautious!
Now I am the pillar of the entire Woodville family.

Without me, even if the children who have not yet grown up can still enjoy the favor brought by the queen, in terms of strength, they are just a third-rate family.

I led my family to wander between Lancaster and York, and all I wanted was to make the name of Woodville stand alongside many other great nobles, and to be passed down forever in the Kingdom of Hattings."

The Woodville family, which was relied upon by Edward IV, actually had no presence in the Kingdom of Hattings in the past.

Because when old Woodville was young, he was just a butler in the house of Bedford Lancaster, the younger brother of Henry V of the Lancaster dynasty.

That is, the butler of Byron's second grandfather.

He only holds the title of knight and cannot even be considered a hereditary noble, but just a commoner knight.

It was not until the old prince passed away that he got lucky and married the old prince's second widow, Byron's second grandmother, that he officially entered the ranks of the nobility and established the Woodville family.

The couple gave birth to 12 children at one time, and Elizabeth, who married Edward IV, was the eldest daughter among them.

The time it takes for someone to become successful is only one generation.

In his mind, his family is more important than anything else.

Old Woodville looked up at the end of his field of vision, as if he saw the Thornburgh, which changed from Lancaster to York and then to Tudor. His eyes flashed with a burning passion:
“Once we defeat the Earls and regain full royal power, we may be able to change all Tudor properties to Woodville.

Although I heard that the new [Saint Byron Lens] is now used in the Faros Lighthouse, which can greatly increase the survival rate of the [Lantern Bearer], that Saint Byron may not die as early as other Lantern Bearers.

But for some reason, the remnant of the fifth-level strength, [Wild Hunt] Byron Lancaster, appeared again.

Although the Earl of Stromgarde, a loyal Yorkist, is strong, he will inevitably be killed sooner or later.

Those properties will belong to us sooner or later. When that time comes, with the blessing of the properties, the Woodville family will be truly worthy of the title of great nobles."

Apparently, the Woodville siblings had originally planned to facilitate the marriage of St. Byron and Catherine, and then wait for St. Byron to die as a result of his duties as the Lantern Bearer so that their son Frith could marry the "widow" Catherine.

Swallowed up in one gulp the Pioneer Colonial Trading Company, the two earldoms, the International Port, the Pioneer Bank, the Standard Whale Oil Company and other huge wealth in their hands.

The chief director of this series of plans was actually old Woodville.

His family finally got a chance to change their destiny.

Old Woodville, who had been poor all his life, was willing to jump back and forth between Lancaster and York, and seize every opportunity to climb up by any means necessary.

He was originally a staunch Lancastrian, and even his eldest daughter Elizabeth married Sir John Grey, who was also a Lancastrian (Chapter 345).

But when Edward, who was only the Duke of York a few years ago, pursued Elizabeth and extended an olive branch to him, he changed his allegiance without hesitation.

Relying on his familiarity with the Lancaster Party, he killed his former colleagues on a large scale and made great contributions to the York family many times.

Among the people who helped Edward IV to ascend the throne the most, apart from Warwick the Kingmaker, it was Elder Woodville.

It is no exaggeration to say that he was the Lancastrian Party's number one traitor.

"The first generation fought through all the difficulties, the second generation washed their feet on the shore and stabilized the foundation, and the third generation was qualified to declare themselves as nobles.

It is inevitable that my hands will be stained with dirty blood during this period, but I don't care.

Not to mention Byron Tudor, even if it was the orphan of the old lord Byron Lancaster, I wouldn't mind personally sending him off so that his family could be together.

If you are not ruthless, you will not be able to stand firm. It is because honest people have always been bound by ridiculous moral values ​​that they can never get ahead. You deserve to be poor all your life!"

Withdrawing his gaze from the castle that had belonged to Lancaster in the first place, a wolf-like viciousness flashed in his eyes.

In fact, if his son-in-law Edward IV died unexpectedly early because of his excessive sexual intercourse with his daughter, he would not mind being a "Lord Protector" and "assisting" his grandson Edward V to ascend the throne.

By the way, he cleared out all the members of the York family who might threaten his position, making the Woodville family the most prominent noble family in Hastings.

"Search quickly, this way."

"There is an enemy, kill!"

Support troops from both sides continued to flow into the snow-covered forest and fought fiercely around old Woodville. He remained indifferent to the sounds of fighting that continued to pass by his ears.

It was as if these people did not die because of him, but were just a group of insignificant ants.

He raised his hand and gently stroked a tadpole-shaped mark on his chest that was revealed by the [Tear of Rupert]. The mark had a large head and a small tail, and emitted a faint glass-like glow.

It was this treasure that gave him nearly invincible defense and a presence equivalent to that of a small bee, allowing him to escape to the present with ease.

Looking at the increasingly dense search network and increasingly fierce fighting around him, Old Woodville showed a meaningful look on his face:
"Everyone thought it took me a whole day to switch the 'blind door', but do you think that's the truth?

Who would be so stupid as to expose their cards? Haha."

However, he was completely unaware that the aura of disaster above his head, with him as the center of the vortex, began to rotate at a high speed, pulling more crises and accidents towards him.

There are several disaster stars flickering among them.

If [Witches of Disaster] like Violet and Vanessa were to come and take a look, their eyes would surely be hurt by the aura of disaster that permeates this place.

Of course, the scale is not comparable to that of the Holy Silver Empire, but it is terrifying enough when applied to just one person.

suddenly.

There was a "clang" sound.

Old Woodville seemed to have kicked something accidentally, and when he looked down he found it was an exquisite ceramic bottle.

Before he could react, the bottle cap opened by itself after rolling twice on the ground, and a voice came out:
"Hey, old man, you kicked me, pay me!

If you want to pass through here, you must fulfill my three wishes."

Bang!
Before he could finish, old Woodville suddenly kicked him and the ceramic bottle far into the depths of the forest.

The cautious old knight had no intention of paying any attention to such a strange thing.

Just as he was about to speed up and leave this place that gave him a bad feeling, his footsteps paused again, the sword in his waist came out of its sheath with a clang, and he turned his head to face the direction of the forest next to him as if facing a great enemy.

At this moment, the sounds of birds suddenly disappeared, and the sounds of fighting between the scouts of both sides nearby became inaudible.

Only the chilling murderous intent that made old Woodville's hair stand on end came towards him in waves from the woods.

Then he heard "Tram! Tram! Tram!" The sound of footsteps, steadier than his own, came straight towards him, getting closer and louder.

It was like a hammer hitting his heart again and again.

The same voice just now sounded again:
"How dare you kick me, you damn bastard? This is the first time I've encountered such a humiliation since I played the role of the genie in the bottle! I'm going to kill you!"

"Shut up, Leonardo. Are all devils as talkative as you?"

The devil's voice immediately changed from arrogant to flattering:
"Yes, my Lord. You see, I said we could find this guy, right?

[Rupert's Tears] can reduce the sense of existence by 99 percent, but it does not make people disappear completely.

We devils are experts at harvesting souls. When we were ambushing him earlier, the painting spirit I sent stole a strand of the fifth element from him and used it to cast the [Life Hunting Technique]. As long as we are close enough, we can lock onto his position."

Soon, a strange group of people completely walked out of the forest.

A tall and handsome young man, a beautiful blonde girl holding an umbrella for him, a little man only the size of a palm, and a young painter carrying a broken ceramic bottle.

Old Woodville had never met Therese and Leonardo, who had been hiding behind the "Eighteen Scenes of Hell".

The two people in front of me seemed somewhat familiar, but because of [Transfiguration] and [Cognitive Correction], I couldn't match them at all.

I can only say coldly:
"Are you from the Earl's party? Warwick is no match for His Majesty. I advise you to turn to the light as soon as possible, otherwise your lives will be in danger."

Byron had no intention of saying any more nonsense to the Lancastrian Party's number one traitor, and strode straight towards him.

He and Catherine grew up in the Galt Highlands. When he was young, he often came here to hunt with adults. Apart from the sea, this is his most familiar home ground.

In addition to defeating the [Puppet King] and the Cardinal in succession, the number of fourth-level creatures he has killed is almost in double digits.

No matter how strong an orthodox [Highland Knight] of the fortress sequence is, he does not need others to besiege him together. He alone is enough.

Ten steps, nine steps, eight steps.
The moment he took the seventh step, his long and powerful legs bent and bounced, a circle of air explosion rings exploded under his feet, and the whole person turned into a light of blood and flew over.

His right hand swept across the wrist of his left hand, and a thin sword made of blood flashed with cold light, and he stepped forward and stabbed forward.

[Night Devil]'s signature skill, bloody fighting!
call out--!
Old Woodville's face changed:
"Oh no, this is actually a fourth-level [Mythical Creature]?! Where did Warwick find this kind of thug?"

It was common sense that the individual abilities of [Ladder of Glory] could not match those of mythical creatures, so he immediately summoned his own heroic guards.

The wolf-head shoulder guard suddenly opened its mouth and blew out a cold breath, and a large group of frost wolves rushed out and rushed into the heroic battle flag that exploded above his head, adding their own power to him. Most of his human guards had died in the previous ambush, and now he could only temporarily rely on the power of these ancient heroes [Frostwolf Knights].

But Byron's thrust was too fast. Old Woodville had just summoned the guards to help when the tip of the sword, emitting blood, was already in front of him.

He did not dodge or evade. Instead, he used his chest to meet the sword tip and, using the "Moon Worship" technique of the Frost Wolf Swordsmanship, he delivered a powerful chop at Byron's head.

clang!
The tip of the stabbing sword arrived first, but it only created a circle of force field ripples on old Woodville's chest and failed to penetrate him instantly.

Byron was not surprised:
"Rupert's Tears is indeed worthy of its reputation. There are very few dead lines on the body, and the rest of the body is like a solid piece of iron."

Facing the swift sword swung by the [Highland Knight], he just moved his feet slightly and calmly dodged it, leaving only a trail of afterimages.

Byron's movement speed is now almost faster than that of an ordinary fourth-level swordsman, and the sword blade that can cut through stubborn stones cannot make him feel any threat.

Old Woodville continued to stride forward and swing his sword, turning the strange half-sword in his hand into a fierce blizzard, which smashed down on Byron's head.

A ferocious wolf head stood out from the sky full of sword shadows, opening its mouth wide and biting him madly.

[Secret: Wolves Hunting]

This is the sword technique that the people living on the Evernight Peninsula learned from the monster Frostwolf. It is mainly popular in the three countries of the Kalmar Union and other northern countries.

The essence of this swordsmanship is to maintain a rationality as cold as ice amidst the violent sword moves, while the moves may be wild but the heart is not.

It also fits the unique natural environment of this land and the national character of the people of the Taiwan Strait, and its power is doubled in the ice and snow.

Byron instantly adjusted his breathing method and merged it with the sword light in his hand, leaving only a dazzling sharp blood light moving up and down between the wolf's fangs.

Find the right opportunity and stab his "weak spot" under the left armpit, which is also the only dead end that [Shenjian] can see.

However, at this moment, old Woodville suddenly showed a sinister smile as if he had succeeded in his evil plan:

"I got you! Secret gun drawing technique!"

clang!
In Byron's [Divine Vision], the "weak spot" that could not be moved within a day was suddenly transferred to the opponent's head.

But the length and width of the line suddenly increased tenfold.

He immediately realized that the rumor was wrong. The opponent's "weak point" could not be transferred only after one day, but could be transferred in advance at the cost of increasing the weakness tenfold.

"Even the misleading information may have been released by him on his own initiative."

Without waiting for Byron to put away his sword, old Woodville suddenly dropped the sword with his right hand and shook out a strangely shaped musket from his ingeniously designed arm armor.

The back still looks like a normal musket, but the front has not just one barrel, but ten barrels in two rows.

Second level holy relic [First organ gun - Jer Harmonica]:
"So-called organ guns are named for their rows of barrels that resemble the pipes of a church organ. They are also sometimes called: discharge guns.

But there is no essential difference compared with a normal musket, except that it has an additional barrel. It lacks innovation and its influence can only reach level two at most.

The ability is called [100x Penetration]. Theoretically, even the hardest diamond can be penetrated by this gun, let alone armor and human body?"

An old fellow like Woodville who grew up step by step from the bottom of the battlefield may not be good at other things, but he is definitely experienced and extremely insidious.

boom!
Flames burst out fiercely, and ten bullets blessed with extraordinary powers flew towards Byron's head.

"Hahaha, the more relics the better, and the strongest 'shield' and the strongest 'spear' are both in my hands.

Who in this world can kill me? ! "

Just when Byron was about to have nowhere to hide, blood suddenly burst out from his body, and he turned into a bunch of blood-colored bats.

It avoided the bullets in one tenth of a second and closed up into its human form again.

“Old man, times have changed, but unfortunately not drastically.

Even if the gun is powerful, what's the use if it can't hit the target? "

Just as old Woodville was stunned, Byron's slender and powerful right leg suddenly bounced up from the ground like a steel whip and kicked him hard on the chin from bottom to top.

Click!

With a crisp sound of bones breaking, the old knight kicked up into the air and was thrown out in a spin.

"puff--!"

Five or six teeth were scattered along the way along with the blood mist spurting out of their mouths, and then hit the wall of the Great Wall in the North heavily.

This is because Byron, the mythical creature, has controlled his strength. If he kicks with all his strength, he can kick the old man's head into a bloody mist.

The battle was over just as it had begun.

Old Woodville was just about to get up from the ground with difficulty when Byron stepped on him with both feet, breaking his limbs. He clenched his gums tightly to prevent himself from screaming.

Then the [Organ] and [Rupert's Tear] were also taken away.

Byron dipped his hands in old Woodville's blood and began to draw a magic circle on the ground, summoning Bloody Mary and commanding her:

"Kill all of his close blood relatives."

He had used the "Blood Curse", which was equivalent to a clan-wide elimination game in mysticism, to kill all of his old superiors, the Newman family. This time, it was finally the turn of the number one traitor, the Woodville family.

They will definitely not be the last on Byron's road to revenge.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?

Warwick can't afford to hire foreign aid like you! I can give you money, power, and women. My daughter is the most beautiful woman in the kingdom.

No, no! "

Old Woodville, who had lost half of his teeth, had a lisp when he spoke, but he knew that Byron was not joking.

He instantly realized the despair of those Lancastrians who had died at his hands over the years.

"You want to know who I am?"

Catherine had walked over to Byron and took his arm. The two siblings looked down at the miserable old man who was beginning to dissolve in the blood like a maggot.

He silently lifted the Transfiguration spell on his body, revealing the true faces of Byron Lancaster and Catherine.

This combination is obviously much more exciting than "Catherine + Byron Tudor" or "Violet + Byron Lancaster".

Old Woodville never imagined that the one who would wipe out his entire family would be the Lancaster whom he had abandoned.

Suddenly, he understood something.

Mouth wailing:

"You are. No--!"

Byron deliberately released the blockade of the "Border Maze", allowing his screams to be heard far away, and at the same time extracted his soul and transmuted blood.

Then he winked at the "Devil in the Bottle" who had already been prepared.

Let him artificially create a "death stranding" accident and eliminate all traces of the scene.

While leaving any detective helpless, it also put the blame firmly on the head of Warwick, the "King Maker".

Soon, both sides who were attracted let out exclamations, and what followed was a large-scale fighting on the entire Galt Heights.

The first step of the plan is completed!
Kingston, Ganquan Palace at the same time.

Edward IV sat beside Queen Elizabeth and comforted his beauty:
"Don't worry, my queen, your father will be fine.

I have issued an order. If your father cannot be rescued safely, I will bury their entire family with him!"

As the symptoms of "The Emperor's New Clothes" continued to deepen, Edward IV, like many famous tyrants in history, became obsessed with beauty to the point of losing his mind.

Especially when it comes to beauty and domineering aura, there is a unified, brainstem-missing beauty.

[The most beautiful woman in the Channel Islands] Elizabeth Woodville, holding the box containing the life gems of her relatives in her arms, could only put on a forced smile in front of her husband.

Every two seconds he would look at the gems in the box.

Just when Edward IV had just finished speaking harsh words.

Click!

As Elizabeth looked on in horror, the gem that had belonged to old Woodville suddenly broke.

The queen couldn't help but let out a cry of grief:

"Father! No—!"

But it's not over yet.

After the first gem was shattered, all members of the Woodville family in the Channel Islands and other parts of the mainland were killed one after another by Bloody Mary.

Naturally, the other gems in the box also exploded one after another like firecrackers.

In just a few minutes, only a pile of gem powder was left.

Even Frith Woodville, Catherine's brother-in-law who had originally planned to marry her, was not spared.

The Woodville family is not a prominent family, and has no heritage. Most of their members are of low rank, and the [Anchors] on them do not exceed their own ranks by much.

Moreover, even if the king's brother-in-law, Frith, became the king's right hand by relying on the [Iron Law of Kingship, Magna Carta], how could he withstand the curse from Byron, an outlaw who had absolute claim to Hastings?
Only Queen Elizabeth herself remained unharmed thanks to the protection of her husband, and Bloody Mary did not dare to enter the palace.

But although Elizabeth did not die from the [Blood Curse], she was shaken by the bad news of the whole family's elimination game and fell to the ground and fainted.

Edward IV was also shocked and angry:
"Call the doctor quickly! If the queen can't be cured, I will make all of your families be buried with her!"

There was a sudden chaos in Ganquan Palace.

The influence of the destruction of old Woodville by the "Earl's Party" spread far and wide from this center until it caused a storm.

Regardless of whether the fighting parties between the royalists and the earls are willing or not.

When the blood of many "nobles" began to be spilled like water, the intensity of the war was passively raised a thousand times.

Not to mention Edward IV or St. John, even if the Pope came, there was no way he could stop the fight halfway.
