Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 638 Secret: Life and Death Showdown at the Triphase Point!

Thousands of people guarding it, like the moon adorned by stars!
Even across the Sea of ​​Monsters, the echo of "The emperor does not need to be crowned, you just need to submit!" spread through the legal network to all the lands under Byron's rule, every administrative division, and every citizen of the empire.

At this moment, he, the new emperor who rebuilt the North Sea Empire and the owner of the second supreme crown in the Silver Continent, seemed to have suddenly become the absolute focus of the entire material world.

Byron, however, was not complacent, and began to hum a song: "How lonely it is to be invincible."

Because some people try their best to climb up and get to a high position, just to enjoy unlimited power, wealth and beauty.

Some people work hard to climb to a high position, just to take on heavy responsibilities that no one else can shoulder except them!

Byron did not deny that he was a vulgar man who liked everything that a normal man liked.

If possible, he would rather be an ordinary king, have 120 children with his queens, play on a private beach, go hunting in the royal forest, and ask a top chef to prepare a meal with ingredients from all over the world at any time to enjoy a simple happiness.

But what he loved most was always the unrestrained "freedom", and he knew very well that "peace exists if it is sought through struggle, but it dies if it is sought through compromise."

If I, the "historical corrector who stirs the warp and weft of the times" and the "origin of all changes", cannot take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility and unite all human beings to fight a desperate battle with the existence outside the cracks of the world.

In the end, let alone becoming the "ultimate unifier of all things", I am afraid that when the Luoyan era arrives, I will be the first one to die miserably!

Refer to the encounter between [Sky God] Horus and [Venus Goddess] Ishtar.

I have taken away their [Sky] and [Thunderstorm] priesthoods, and have become the mortal enemy of the Sea of ​​Element. If I am defeated, my fate will be even worse than theirs.

For the sake of his wife, children and clan, Byron Lancaster had to fight for and become the emperor!

So, when that brilliant and splendid [crown] fell on his head, Byron suddenly felt his shoulders sink and he tilted his head to look.

On his left shoulder were the 1300 million people of the North Sea Empire, as well as the entire Dragon King Court that was protected by the Empire;
On the right shoulder is the Holy Golden Empire located in the colonies, and the Beast Paradise Sun Empire which is gradually being covered by the Golden Law;
On his back is the Corridor of Truth Desert Empire, which he and Cleopatra each own half of and will sooner or later belong to his son Amon Lancaster.

There is no doubt that Byron is the weightlifting champion this year!

This series of actions seemed to take a long time.

In fact, their long-planned backstab was too fast, and the roots and branches of the mistletoe had just reached the Quartz Stone and the Pirate City.

The sharp roots, branches and leaves of the parasitic plants, with a whistling sound that tore through the air and with the penetrating power to easily pierce through steel, shot towards the remains of Lilith, Kraken and Byron and his group.

Byron raised his eyelids, but did not swing his sword at them. He just said casually:
"Command: Arrow protection, stillness field!"

Om-!
A circle of golden ripples rapidly expanded with the crown on his head as the center, forming a circular domain of royal power.

A magical scene appears here.

Originally, all the laws of [Lawyers] and [Kings] could only govern humans within the scope of their own laws, but they never had the ability to interfere with reality.

Even a lead bullet fired from a flintlock rifle could not protect against it.

But in front of Byron, this law was completely broken.

The mistletoe roots and branches, which were countless times more powerful than siege crossbows, seemed to be trapped in an invisible force field after entering the field, and slowed down to a standstill in the blink of an eye.

The Harvest Goddess realized that something was wrong.

He tried to pull back the branches and leaves that had shot out, but he only created two circles of golden ripples like water waves in the royal domain. The branches that were in a static state did not move at all from beginning to end.

[Entry·My rules are rules]:
“The purpose of the existence of law has never been to achieve fairness and justice, but to maintain social relations and social order that are beneficial to the ruling class. It is an important tool for the ruling class to achieve its rule.

You are the ruling class with the biggest fist, and your will is the will of the entire class!

You can modify the iron law of the monarchy to your own advantage to a certain extent according to your will, without the involvement of the Legislative Council, Parliament, or any other group.

Even within his jurisdiction, he amended some of the [Silver Laws] that concern human rights. "

Putting on this crown will immediately completely cover the capabilities of this entry, and even have a significant overflow.

It has long gone beyond the boundaries of "human rights" and expanded into the realm of "land rights".

The surviving Night Demons, Deep Sea Clan members, and even Byron's own teammates on the battlefield couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

"If a normal King was fighting the Goddess of Harvest one-on-one here, he would have been defeated on the spot.

Is the gap between [Emperor] and [King] so huge?"

Jack Harold, a well-traveled whale hunter, had just said this before he shook his head and said,
“No! I personally saw the previous Holy Silver Empire Emperor Albrecht take action on the battlefield.

Although it is indeed much stronger than the king title, it is still far from being able to suppress an incarnation of a priesthood.

At most, they are similar to the saints in the church who hold the ring of authority. They can use the "right of the earth" to summon the heroes in the history of the empire to help in the battle. "

Byron was too young and had never seen the current Emperor Frederick III of the Holy Silver Empire with his own eyes, nor had he witnessed the power of the Emperor himself.

After hearing his father-in-law's comments, combined with the information he had just read from the crown, he felt that the gap between the two was natural.

“Heh, although the supreme rulers of the Holy Silver Empire and the North Sea Empire are both called emperors.

But the gap between empires and emperors may be greater than that between humans and monkeys!"

What is an empire?

A vast territory? A large population? A developed economy? A strong military? These are just some of the reasons.

In fact, historical political scientists have defined it.

A country that has established distinctive political, economic, social, military systems and humanistic values ​​within a larger geographical area and covering a large population, formed a certain international political system, and promoted and maintained this system within a certain scope can be called an empire.

It can be a feudal empire that traditionally widely adopts the feudal system, or it can be a colonial empire with vast overseas territories and appointed governors to govern.

These empires were usually vast territories with their own vassal states and dominated a cultural area.

If the Holy Golden Empire and the North Sea Empire had not emerged as a sudden force and successfully conquered the two major indigenous empires of Yucatan Island, the Kingdom of Castile would have been promoted to become the first colonial empire.

It was even the world's first empire on which the sun never set.

But in the past, on the Silver Continent, the only continent covered by the power of law, there was only one civilized area dominated by the church, so there was only one dominant empire with a [Crown] - the Holy Silver Empire.

To be more precise, it is its predecessor, the Ancient Silver Empire before it was conquered by the barbarians.

The current Holy Silver Empire only has the name of an empire, but in essence it is just a loose union of city-states that is neither holy nor silver, nor an empire.

The empire was in a state of division for a long time, with strong autonomy for local states and extremely weak central authority.

In Byron's philosophy, only a country with absolute centralized power like the great unified dynasties in the East is worthy of the title of empire and emperor.

This is what he thinks and does.

Both the North Sea Empire and the Holy Golden Empire, after dealing with the remaining city-states and land nobles, set up three levels of administrative divisions: states (counties), cities, and towns, with the smallest administrative unit directly ruled by the emperor.

The power, manpower and material resources will be concentrated in the central government to the maximum extent possible, so that when necessary, everyone can be gathered into a fist and struck hard.

Naturally, the richer the empire and the more concentrated the power, the greater the power of the Crown.

Deeply implement the truth that "the greater the responsibility, the greater the ability"!

In contrast, the Holy Silver Empire is essentially just a union of city-states, so how can there be any centralization? The Habsburg family, who rule the empire with their lower body, cannot gather much power even if they hold the [Crown].

“Of course, this is what the church wants.

Weakening the upper limit of royal power and letting the kings fight each other for a castrated crown can maximize and permanently guarantee the dominance of theocracy.

In other words, the crown in my hand is the only genuine "Emperor" throne in the world today!
The movement caused in the collective subconscious cannot be concealed at all. When I return to the Silver Continent, the Pope and the saints of the Council of God may no longer allow me to grow further.

There will definitely be a tough battle to fight.”

Byron put aside these things that had not yet happened in the future and walked towards the mistletoe.

Without using his own legendary power or the power of the pseudo-god, he simply took a step forward, and an invisible staircase naturally emerged in the air for him to step on.

As we all know, among the three powers of the law: the power of man belongs to the kings; the power of the earth belongs to the church; and the power of heaven belongs to the Creator.

The Pope's triple crown = the power of man + the power of earth + the power of heaven; the emperor's crown = the power of man + the power of earth; the king's title = the power of man;
With the [Crown] in his hand, Byron can now freely control all areas involving the power of man and the power of the land.

The newly added "power of the earth" means the ability to manage the dead, ghosts, natural spirits, totem gods and all non-god beings.

The Silver Law rejects all forbidden powers. The Holy Silver Empire has no natural spirits and no totem gods. The most Frederick III can use it to communicate with the dead and summon heroic spirits.

But Byron held many clerical positions and was capable of doing many things.

There is no need to use one's own strength, just mobilize the power of the law of the [Crown] to easily interfere with reality and command the ubiquitous wind elemental elves.

Da da da.
There was silence over the battlefield, with only the sound of Byron's footsteps hitting the heart of the Harvest Goddess like a heavy hammer. As he approached, the Harvest Goddess felt more and more pressure, and subconsciously abandoned the branches and leaves that were stilled in the royal domain, and carefully retracted the endless branches and leaves to defend herself.

One side of the battlefield turned into a golden royal domain, and the other side turned into countless squirming blood-red mistletoe. Moreover, the former was expanding with Byron, trying to completely squeeze the mistletoe out of this area.

Countless pairs of eyes in the human head fruit stared at Byron with cold light flashing, and rustling sounds with obvious fear and anger came from their mouths:
“Humans themselves are the world’s biggest source of pollution, and the human race is the most dangerous parasite in nature.

You grab nutrients without restraint to strengthen yourselves, but never give back to nature.

The Sea of ​​​​Source is also part of natural evolution. You should accept your own destiny instead of fighting against the gift of nature again and again.

In order to protect the environment, you should have died long ago!
How dare you continue to occupy a position that does not belong to you? "

At this time, Byron, symbolizing [man], moves forward, and Sananos, symbolizing [nature], moves backward, just like the humanized world that is advancing by leaps and bounds and the natural world that is shrinking little by little.

Snapped!
Byron had no interest in communicating with this crazy old god, so he raised his hand and snapped his fingers:

"Heroic Legion, the Hettings Longbowmen, summoned!"

The spiritual wind blew up behind him, forming an "∞" ring, penetrating the material world and the collective subconscious of the people in the bay.

The nine-layer world tree carrying Valhalla slowly unfolded behind Byron, and thousands of heroes who had served in the Hastings Longbow Corps in history appeared one by one.

Their faces and ears were wrapped tightly with cloth, they wore chains on their shoulders, their wrists were protected with leather ropes and leather blocks, they had protective leather holsters on their finger joints, and short swords and leather bags were hung on their belts.

He held a two-meter long bow in his hand and had two quivers with 24 feather arrows hanging around his waist.

This was a famous long-range troop in the era of cold weapons. The longbow had a range of 200 meters, and elite soldiers could shoot 12 arrows in one minute.

If the training hadn't been so strenuous that it could permanently twist an archer's spine, this type of soldier probably wouldn't have been replaced by the Musketeers who use flintlock rifles.

"Draw the bow, raise it to 45 degrees, and shoot!"

Give an order.

With the sound of the taut bowstring, a dark cloud rose into the sky and arrived above the mistletoe in just a moment.

The fully enchanted feather arrows in the hands of the heroic spirits were almost as powerful as long-range sniper rifles. The arrowheads carrying the power to break spells instantly shot the mistletoe into pieces. I don't know how many human head fruits exploded into blood.

collapse!collapse!collapse!
Once the volleys started, they continued.

The heroes who are qualified to respond to the emperor's call were the elite among the elite in their lifetime, or at least awakened their spirituality and successfully became archers in the fortress sequence, and their rain of arrows was fast and accurate.

Obviously, in addition to greatly strengthening the two major powers of the [King's Title], [Customized Laws] and [King's Military Force], the emperor also gained two additional new abilities.

[Enfeoffment]: "You can enfeoff human nobles of all levels, including the title of king, and you can also enfeoff the mountains, rivers, and natural spirits within your own territory, allowing them to suppress the nodes of the earth veins, assist you in governing the country, and ensure good weather and good harvests."

[Summon Heroic Spirits]: "Gain control over the collective subconscious of your own empire or ethnic group, which is the Valhalla of the Bay People, and summon ancient heroes or organized projections of ancient legions from it."

Among them, summoning heroic spirits is similar to the saints summoning legions of angels from heaven, both of which are extended powers of collective strength.

The longer a nation's history, the richer its accumulation, and the more profound its legends, the more powerful its [Summoning Heroic Spirits] will be.

Byron watched the Longbow Corps display its might and could not help but be more ambitious:

“If only I could connect to the long history of the great unified dynasty in my previous life.

What would it be like to summon famous historical generals and illustrious fantasy soldiers and have them descend as heroic spirits?
I don’t know whether there is an East in this world. If I get the chance, I must start a round-the-world voyage to find it.

After all, the first thing to do when one sits on the throne of the human emperor should be to cough up a lot."

However, although the mistletoe on the opposite side suffered a temporary setback, it did not think that it would be overturned by a mere human.

Re-stretch the limbs, expand the gaps between branches and leaves, and reduce the killing efficiency of archers.

Then the terminal branches and leaves quickly sprout, bloom, and bear fruit, growing countless strange fruits: strong acid lemons, gunpowder nuts, devil peppers, spore bombs.
Swing the branches to throw them over continuously.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Each fruit was inferior to the bombardment of a heavy smoothbore cannon, and also carried various enchanted effects. The border maze at the edge of the royal domain trembled violently in the flames.

However, the flames did not only appear on Byron's side, but the core trunks of the mistletoe also suffered fierce artillery fire at the same time.

Moreover, the explosive power is far greater than those enchanted fruits.

However, one hundred kilometers away, Violet, who was arranged by Byron as a sniper and in charge of controlling the situation, and the legendary battleship [Dreadnought] launched ultra-long-range support.

One turret in front, two in the back, and a third on the right side amidships, all turned to aim at the Harvest Goddess.

A total of eight 305mm 45-caliber breech-loading rifled guns were raised to an elevation angle of 16 degrees, and a thick golden halo exploded in front of each gun muzzle.

At the same time, the War Queen's [King's Army - Northern Frost Wolf] opened its claws above the battleship and endowed every shell with the power to break the law.

Violet and the ship girl’s voices rang out simultaneously:

"Ammunition supply system automatically loaded, fire control system calibrated, battleships fired salvos, fire!"

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Amidst the deafening roar, a blazing cloud of fire rolled up from the muzzle of the gun. The waves on the right side of the ship were instantly torn into pieces by the shock wave, and the sea surface suddenly retreated a large step.

The scorching flames and shock waves carried shrapnel and swept across everything within the explosion range. Huge flames exploded on the body of the Goddess of Harvest.

The power of breaking the law made every shrapnel have the effect of real damage, and no matter how strong the recovery ability of the [Harvest] priesthood was, it was forcibly suppressed.

"Ahhhhh."

Every human head fruit couldn't help but let out a shrill scream, and the Goddess of Harvest couldn't help but recall the horror of being eaten alive by the Mother of Monsters.

Moreover, the same trick is unlikely to work a second time against an enemy with normal IQ.

Once it is beaten back to seed form, it will be dealt with immediately by the enemy, and will never be given a second chance to germinate.

The part of the mistletoe above the water continued to bombard Byron with gritted teeth, but two particularly thick roots in the underwater part were spreading towards the two Pillars of Hellox.

“Byron! Be careful underwater, the ley lines of the ten underwater kingdoms have been disturbed!

This guy seems to have authority.”

[Sea King] Atlas has occupied this area of ​​water for nearly four hundred years, and his control over the earth vein nodes is unmatched. Even if the maze is broken, this place is still his divine domain.

He noticed something was wrong at the first moment and quickly reminded Byron.

"The Harvest Goddess actually has authority?"

Byron was also surprised when he heard this.

He had previously carefully examined the Pillar of Hellrocks and determined that the "key" to the world was most likely behind it.

After being occupied by the three human gods, it would require two prerequisites, a sixth-order demigod and the heirs of the three gods, before it would be possible to draw power from it.

He then informed his grandfather of the information.

But the old god Sananus may be a demigod, but he has nothing to do with the three gods of mankind.

How could he break through the authority and make Atlas feel like facing a formidable enemy?

"Could it be that in addition to the three gods, there really is another being in the Triple Point? And it's a huge problem that even the three of them can't handle?
Is this why you need help? "

A thought came to his mind, and new words immediately appeared in the logbook.

[Secret: A fatal duel in the Triple Point, historical influence 100, decipherability 10%]

Byron's heart skipped a beat.

Unexpectedly, he seemed to have touched upon the greatest secret of this world from Sananos, the God of Plenty and the Horned One, who was the first person in the material world to defect to the Sea of ​​Essence.

If the influence reaches 30 or above, you can influence a continent, and an influence of 100 will undoubtedly determine the future of the entire world!
"A life-and-death duel? On one side are the three human gods, who is on the other side?
Isn’t the essential power of the world the gathering of people? When the three major human gods fight against one, they are beaten to the point that the [Bound Creator] keeps breaking apart? "

Byron shuddered from the bottom of his heart just thinking about it.

But he also knew that now was not the time to dwell on this issue. He should first capture the [Harvest Goddess] in front of him, and then talk about other things. He might be able to get some clues from her.

She pointed her index finger at the crown on her head, and a stream of golden light turned into a mermaid emblem, which shot towards her grandfather, while she shouted in a low voice:
"Atlas, as the Emperor of the North Sea Empire, I appoint you as the King of the Undersea Kingdom, give you the title [Sea King], and include you in the Golden Law system!"

Knowing what Byron was doing, Atlas did not hesitate, and took the coat of arms and threw it over his head, turning it into a crown symbolizing the [royal title].

The next moment, the divine domains and mazes of the ten underwater kingdoms that had been breached were reactivated.

Om-!
The Golden Law across the sea, the Bronze Law closest to it, and the Pirate Code of the North Sea Empire, which was below the Silver Law, appeared one after another, accepting the ten underwater kingdoms as part of themselves.

With the two Sea Rocks Pillars as the core, a border maze is created that is more powerful and more domineering than the original one!
