Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 670: Dual-Nation War Dungeon: Winter is Coming! Raging Seas!

Pyrenean Empire, main hall of the Vientiane Palace.

Stab it--!
Queen Saint Isabella the Unsullied tore up the Daily Beacon in her hands.

Looking at the cheap bagasse paper scattered on the ground, his face was extremely ugly, and he kept chewing a word in his mouth:

"The sun never sets, the sun never sets"

On the third day, the strange change in sunlight in the "First Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" caused a commotion and spying among the extraordinary people of various countries.

The Lighthouse Association promptly issued a new issue of "Lighthouse Daily", using a full page to publish an exclusive interview with Byron.

It details a series of achievements from the time he began his eastward voyage around the world to the time he discovered another new continent in the Ocean of Storms.

It also let everyone in the countries on the continent know about the emergence of the national title [The First Empire on which the Sun Never Sets] and how great benefits this national title brought to the North Sea Empire.

The scope of influence of this information is too large, and it can be directly read by finding a high-sequence prophet to read the collective subconscious. Now that it has entered the counterattack phase, Byron is not prepared to keep it secret.

Just like the three major laws of the East Continent, they are displayed openly to the outside world.

You can also say: "Not too advanced, but good for display."

This time I changed my offense and defense again!
After seeing the news revealed by the North Sea Empire officials, the Orthodox side, who had clearly been against them to the end, were all jealous and their eyes turned red.

Especially the Pyrenean Empire, once the world's most powerful maritime power.

They have always been the pioneers of the Age of Discovery, and they have a dream of becoming a maritime power by first reaching the end of the world and occupying unowned lands around the world.

Now it is only one step behind the North Sea Empire and has missed the title of the world's first country.

Isabella looked at another application for a round-the-world voyage submitted by the adventurer Fernando de Magellan, which had just been approved. She was so angry that she almost went crazy:

"From sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth, the sun does not set in one part of the country before it rises there.

This is the glory that only the Messiah King can possess in the Gospel of Creation!

Why is it Saint Byron who gets this title? Why not me, Saint Isabella? Why not my country? It's just one step away!"

For some reason, Isabella always subconsciously felt that the title of "The First Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" should belong to the Pyrenees Empire.

The thought of this name made her feel so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

Some time ago, she had the support of the Pope's Meridian and thought she had gotten a huge bargain by obtaining the right to explore the southern continent.

But since he learned that the "triangular trade" was very profitable and he was blocked in his homeland by the trade-breaking fleet, he began to regret it.

Today, the pirate emperor Saint Byron has discovered the New World again and is revered by countless people as the "Messiah King".

She couldn't help but complain about the Pope in her heart, wondering if she had been assigned to the area east of the Papal Meridian, would she be the one raising the toast to celebrate now?

So much so that the flawless white cheeks of this [Innocent One] began to turn slightly blue, and he murmured:

"Mine, all mine!"

The emotional ups and downs were so extreme that my stomach, which was about to give birth, suddenly felt a dull pain.

After hurriedly casting the [Holy Prayer] to protect my pregnancy, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

The consequences of obvious inbreeding have become apparent: abortion rates and neonatal mortality rates have increased sharply, and offspring are more likely to suffer from intellectual disabilities and various genetic diseases.

Her cousin and husband, King Ferdinand II of Aragon, who was standing beside her, supported her and handed her a bottle of scarlet blood healing potion.

Isabella drank it in one gulp, and the stomachache slowly subsided.

She noticed her husband's concerned look and gave him a forced smile:
“Fernando, the blood healing potion you found is very effective, and the hospital-sequence pharmacists you hired are not in vain.

Our child will surely be born safely and become the wisest monarch in the history of the Pyrenees Peninsula. All we have to do is hand over the most powerful country to him."

Fernando II held his cousin's glowing white little hand, his eyes full of love and affection.

But when he heard the word "pharmacist" from the other party, a trace of unnaturalness appeared on his face, and he laughed subconsciously:
"Hahahaha. This is natural."

The title of the King of Aragon was "The Orthodox".

There is no doubt that he is a very devout believer who has not learned any forbidden knowledge or black magic. He is much better than the popes and saints in the church.

As a mortal in this era with an alarming infant mortality rate, it is certainly nothing to support a group of pharmacists in the hospital sequence because of fear of death.

[Blood Healing Potion] is the core ability of pharmacists.

Under the continued suppression of the church, although the doctors did not understand the specific principles, they were able to use the blood of other healthy humans to make medicine to cure some patients.

One can even use the blood of powerful knights, sages, or even monsters to make temporary enhancement potions to increase certain specific abilities of one's own side. This is a very safe and effective medical method that does not violate the taboos of the church.

But the key point is that he had other titles before he got married, such as: [Golden Fly Catcher], [Little Prince of the Ball], etc.

According to rumors, the king took blood-healing potions made with Pyrenees golden flies all year round to enhance his masculine abilities.

It was also vigorously promoted among the aristocracy, making this niche medicine all the rage.

Together with another drug "mummy powder", they became the twin pillars of male health products in the Silver Continent and were once sold out.

They not only eat, but also eat in style and in a variety of ways:

"The golden flies produced in the Pyrenees Peninsula are the most effective, and the mummy powder brought back from the Desert Empire in the East Continent is better than that in the South Continent."

Vincent, the royal hound and guardian knight assigned to Catherine by Edward IV, once tried to use a magic potion called witch juice to make her fall in love with him.

One of the raw materials is the "Pyrenean Golden Fly", scientifically known as: "Melia mellifera".

Fill a glass bottle with a quarter of basil leaves, add a few drops of musk, a pinch of coral, citron, brown sugar, cinnamon and three freshly picked rainbow rose petals.

Fill it with strong liquor and place it in a place where there is no sunlight. Perform a love prayer ceremony for seven consecutive days and finally make a love potion.

However, although the effect is very good, it also has side effects. Long-term use of this drug will lead to a series of symptoms such as edema, hematuria, abdominal pain, etc.

Regardless of whether Fernando II relied on the golden fly to maintain his virility, he had all these symptoms!

It is said that official history may not be correct, but unofficial history is definitely unofficial.

The [historians] in the opposition of the Pyrenean Empire had already secretly given this emperor a heavy record.

Of course, it is true that he was a playboy and that he and Isabella were very affectionate.

[The Unsullied] does not have any psychological cleanliness and is very generous in forgiving the mistakes that every queen's husband would make.

As long as he doesn't bring syphilis back with him.

The most important thing is that although her husband is very romantic and can't control his belt, he is very good at fighting!

When he was the King of Aragon, he established his reputation as the overlord of the East Sea and helped her win the war for the throne. After that, he eliminated the remaining forces of the Puppet King and conquered the entire Pyrenees Peninsula with an iron fist.

As a fifth-rank legendary [Inquisition Knight] of the Temple Sequence, he also organized the secular priests of the Pyrenees Empire and established the Empire's exclusive Inquisition to deal with those hateful Protestants.

Among all the member states of the Orthodox Union, no one is more murderous than them, and no one is more pious than them.

"Isabella, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

Ferdinand II helped his wife sit back on the throne, hesitated for a moment, and then told her a piece of bad news that was not published in the newspaper but reported by the imperial intelligence department.

In stark contrast to the "First Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" that sought welfare for all its citizens, the Apostolic Basilica of St. Peter sent elite members of the Inquisition to various countries on the continent under its control.

It was claimed that exposing and killing an entire Protestant family would not only be a crime, but one could also take away half of their property.

At this time, the entire Silver Continent was in a bloody storm.

In just a few days, about 70000 Protestant believers and their families were killed.

The key issue is that there are no labels on the faces of Protestants, and when the Orthodox believers are jealous of killing, it is just like the witch hunt in the past. They are free to make their own judgments, and if they are suspected, they will be killed.

Religious affairs officials even deliberately seek opportunities to retaliate against those who had offended them in the past, or even against their colleagues and superiors, resulting in countless unjust cases.

Protestants became the pariahs of the street, and some Orthodox Christians also felt insecure.

In contrast, one side has become hell due to religious persecution, while the other side has a bright future and has become a land of hope and spiritual home for mankind.

The Protestants who were protected by Byron did not hesitate to praise him: "Emperor of Mankind", "Sun King", "Messiah King", "The Only Sun".
The middle and upper classes in the outside world who had some connections were fleeing in droves to the areas controlled by the North Sea Empire, wanting to become citizens of the First Empire on which the sun never sets.

Even washing glasses in a pub is better than being in "hell".

In addition, the 20% improvement speed of the Lighthouse Sequence and the Tower Sequence also attracted many relevant extraordinary people to submit naturalization applications to the immigration department.

It may not be easy to enter the North Sea Empire, as the immigration policy there is very strict and only accepts outstanding talents from all walks of life.

But some clever people have come up with a solution. We can first find a way to settle in the colonies, and when the administrative divisions are restored, won’t it be a natural thing for us to become imperial citizens?

Even if they cannot wait for a short period of time, they can obtain temporary residency first, and the next generation can become glorious imperial citizens through academic advancement, military enlistment, etc. Some people with even less moral integrity will directly spend money to marry an imperial citizen and become naturalized in disguise.

Many old widowers and prostitutes who had been unable to marry in the past in the North Sea Empire suddenly became popular. If anyone dared to speak ill of the emperor at this time, they would fight the blasphemer to death.

Byron had unintentionally completed half of the task of eliminating those bed workers.

“Cousin, everything we do is for the church and for the Creator, and all sacrifices are worth it and right.

Whether it's the people fleeing or the fleet breaking the blockade, as long as we destroy the North Sea Empire and kill Saint Byron, all problems will be fundamentally solved."

Isabella took off a key seal ring of a legendary warship from her finger and handed it to Ferdinand II, and said to him:

“This time, you will personally command our invincible fleet, and bring along [Sailboat Collector] Morton Gray and the Kingdom’s Guardian [Elemental Lord] Nicholas.

I will ask the Pope to unlock the world's most powerful legendary battleship, the Holy Trinity.

This battleship was sealed when the Puppet King was fighting for the throne. This time, when fighting the Protestant Alliance, it is time to let the countries on the continent recall the fear of being dominated by the most powerful legendary battleship.

Go and take back everything that belongs to us."

The latter took the seal ring and nodded solemnly:

"Don't worry, leave everything to me.

With the help of the legendary battleship Holy Trinity, which can interfere with time, I will definitely help you bring back Byron Lancaster's head to decorate our court."

The news of the birth of the First British Empire prompted the Orthodox Alliance to further speed up the assembly of its fleet.

But Byron's preemptive attack came faster than the speed of the punitive fleet!
The target was not the thugs hired by the church, but the entire Orthodox Church, hitting the vital point with one punch.

A group of saints from St. Peter's Basilica gathered together again and presented to the Pope an academic paper that had just been copied from the Tower Sequence Public Library.

The title is: "On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life"!
Everyone's expression was uglier than Isabella's who missed the national title.

"Your Holiness, please come and read this blasphemy."

“They are blaspheming!

The first author [naturalist] Charles and the second author Byron Lancaster are both the worst blasphemers ever! They must be completely purged!"

Pope Francis IV's eyes fell on the page made of bagasse paper, and his brows jumped as soon as he saw the first line of words.

“It was not God who created man, but man who created God!
The fundamental operating logic of this world is not God’s creation, but rather: the survival of the fittest.”

There is no doubt that Byron finally used the killer weapon that he had prepared for the church for a long time.

He invited Charles, the captain of the Beagle, who was originally sent to the southern continent by him to do biological research, and the naturalist (Chapter 417).

After more than a year of research on biological evolution, this pioneer in biology has completed his epoch-making work, which is enough to challenge the Orthodox Church.

Byron's Protestantism does not require "literal interpretation of the scriptures". Everyone can have their own understanding of the "Gospel of Creation" and even communicate directly with the object of faith. This is a pure spiritual conversion and has nothing to do with worldly material things.

Orthodoxy, however, insists on being the bridge between man and God, controlling both the spirit and the body.

Then they must explain from an official standpoint why the "creationism that states that humans are born in one step" is in serious conflict with the "theory of evolution" that is gradual and has abundant evidence to support it?
That is to say, using "unchange" to deny the most fundamental "change" in this world!
If it were a world without magic, the church might still be able to play coward and not comment on this subversive scientific discovery.

But in this extraordinary world, countless human hearts are the greatest extraordinary power! The spiritual undercurrent formed by countless doubts is the most powerful forbidden spell!
Byron has built a dam in the collective subconscious by virtue of his own person and human priesthood, and once it is filled with a torrent, he will dig the grave of Orthodoxy!

At this time, not only in the City of Seven Hills of the Church, "The Theory of Evolution" was spreading at the speed of light along the anchor chain of every extraordinary person in the Tower Sequence.

Among those knowledgeable and extraordinary people, it was like dropping a high-yield mushroom bomb.

Orthodox supporters analyzed Charles's paper word by word, trying to find loopholes and flaws, but they were defeated by the detailed biological evidence from the Sparrow Islands.

No one can deny that "change" is the decisive force in biological evolution.

Bang!
The Pope used his demigod-level power to read the entire paper in just a few minutes, but still did not find any loopholes. With a clench of his right hand, the entire paper turned to ashes.

Two days ago, Saint Matthew died in Iris and lost the Holy Ring and the Spear of Longinus, which made the saints in the Council of God extremely angry.

What they see now is not a biology paper, but a naked declaration of war!
The Pope's old voice echoed like thunder in the hall:

"heresy!
I order: Abandon all messy tactics and use absolute violence to crush them into slag from the front in the shortest possible time.

Kill all heretics! Destroy their countries!"

"As commanded, Your Majesty."

In the hall, shadows swayed under the feet of a pope and six living saints, and each of them spread out three or two pairs of wings.

In the shadow of the Pope, the shadow of the six-winged fallen angel slightly opened his eyes, and two lines of blood flowed out.

Looking at these so-called "saints" and "priests" who wanted to drag the entire Silver Continent into the abyss for their own selfish interests, a strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Pope's order was immediately and strictly implemented.

The main forces of the Orthodox Alliance: the Habsburg royal family of the Holy Silver Empire, the maritime overlord the Pyrenees Empire, the sea coachman the Netherlands Kingdom, and the gold power restoration party of the southern continent.

Among them, the Gold Power Restoration Party in the southern continent had its route to the north blocked by the anti-trafficking fleet. Their naval fleet was not that strong and could be ignored.

However, they took advantage of the strong financial resources accumulated over the years to provide abundant logistical supplies to the coalition forces.

The other three companies split into three groups and headed towards Beihai at full speed.

The closest country is the Kingdom of the Netherlands, led by the Protector of the Kingdom, Lord Cromwell.
Along the way was the most powerful Pyrenean Empire Invincible Armada, commanded by the emperor's husband, King Ferdinand II of Aragon;
The last group is the Royal Navy of the Holy Silver Empire, led by Frederick III's younger brother, the former Archduke Ferdinand, now the [Lonely King].

This person is also an acquaintance.

It was this younger brother appointed by Frederick III to succeed the throne of the Elector Palatinate, one of the seven electors, that triggered the religious wars.

Ferdinand was a fanatical traditionalist. As soon as he took office, he launched a large-scale persecution of Protestants in the Electorate of the Palatinate. The bloody scene now was something he had done once before.

The incident of throwing the object out of the window subsequently became the fuse for the entire "religious war".

Although he was driven away by the Protestant princes, the various states have suffered heavy losses, so it is certainly not difficult to arrange another king title.

As for why it is [The Lonely King]?
It is said that one day, he jokingly asked his valets: "Do you think there are men with two testicles in this world? It must be very interesting."

Well.
Then these servants were dragged down by a colleague who spoke his mind, and nothing happened.

The official has specifically refuted the rumor, saying that there is no connection between [The Lonely King] and a touch of sadness.

Anyway, regardless of whether they are related or not, many people say that men with this condition in history are particularly ruthless in fighting, and Ferdinand is the same.

I just don't know if there is any reason why Frederick III sent his younger brother out again.

In addition, although the Holy Silver Empire's land borders the Eternal Night Peninsula, it did not send too many ground troops.

They simply sent out a number of elite scouts, mainly extraordinary people, to launch harassment behind enemy lines, leaving the local Taiwanese military forces unable to take care of themselves.

In addition to the fact that there are Protestant princes entrenched in the north and they are still fighting fiercely with them, the key point is that heavy snow has fallen in the Eternal Night Peninsula at the end of October, and the quick-freeze mode has been entered.

If a large army enters and runs into the "Winter is Coming" dungeon, they will be frozen into ice sculptures before the groups of Berserkers and Frostwolf Knights can kill them.

After receiving the Pope's order, the goal of the combined fleet was very clear. The large fleet headed straight for the core of the North Sea Empire - Kingston, the imperial capital of the Channel Islands!

There are two battle fronts, one hidden and one visible. We are preparing to use the Strait of Dover on the edge of the North Sea as the main battlefield and do our best to win the naval battle dungeon [Raging Sea].

As long as the entire navy of a maritime power can be wiped out, they will no longer have any power to resist and will become trapped.

However, Byron was not surprised but happy after receiving the information.

"Mr. Charles did a great job."

The series of reactions from the Orthodox Alliance above were exactly his original intention of releasing "The Theory of Evolution" in advance and angering those war laymen in the senior positions of the Council of God.

The worst thing about anything is that laymen lead professionals.

Byron never looked down upon those kings and generals of great reputation.

If the Pope gave them full authority to fight this battle, relying on their numerical advantage, at least the battle would not be fought too badly.

A mere ten dreadnoughts have no time to disperse the attacking enemies, so naturally the more enemies they face during their first appearance, the better.

However, once the civil officials in the rear began to show their skills, they would give the generals special battle plans before the battle.

He also expressed his feelings: "The soldiers on the front line just need to devote themselves to the battlefield and fight hard against the enemy, while we in the rear have a lot to consider."

Byron was almost able to put half his heart back into his stomach.

All you need to do is consider deploying the dreadnought fleet to the battlefield at the most appropriate time and attack the enemy in a desperate situation!
