Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 75 Pirate Professional Skills Competition

At noon the next day, the black flag was flying in Anchor Bay.

Thousands of pirate ships, large and small, all left their berths and stretched like dark clouds across the wide waters outside the port to the end of the sight.

But it is clearly divided into two opposing parts.

Led by Edward Redbeard, the Vice Chairman of the Council of Captains, and Violet, the Princess of the Bay, and the Flaming Rose.

And the former is obviously much more than the latter.

Before the game started, all the pirates had already chosen their own camps, leaving no room for fence-sitters to survive.

Byron and his "Golden Deer" were naturally among them.

In order to strengthen his control over the ragtag army, Red Beard stationed many of his trusted confidants on different pirate ships.

Each of them led a group of their own pirates to command the squadron.

Byron, who had already made up his mind, didn't mind leaving Red Beard's side temporarily, and returned to his own ship, the Golden Deer, as expected.

He used it as the flagship of his fleet of seven pirate ships.

Standing behind him are his right-hand men, Guardian Knight Bruch and Phantom Blade Guts.

The honest man Eight Fingers, the indigenous youth Wyandot who drank the "Angel's Kiss" and was promoted to gunner, and others were also eager to try.

Little Hans also received a bottle of [Angel's Kiss] as a reward for his great contribution in assisting Old Hans in the transformation of the Golden Deer.

He was sitting on the deck, reading a book.

After seeing the style of the gunpowder artist, he was determined to follow the path of the "craftsman" to drive away ignorance with knowledge and seize every opportunity to improve himself.

Moreover, when it comes to how to deal with the side effects of [Angel's Kiss], little Hans has a huge advantage that no other crew member can match.

He has a dad!

Suddenly, Byron seemed to sense something and looked up at the clock tower in the center of the city.

"Everyone is ready, it's time to start."

clang!clang!clang!
Under the gazes of countless people, some with ulterior motives, some anxious, some crazy and bloodthirsty.

The ancient bronze bell in the bell tower was struck. The grand bell sound that happened once every three years resounded throughout the Anchor Bay and echoed far above the sea.

A solemn atmosphere suddenly descended.

Not only did the chaotic pirates stop, but even the fierce winds on the sea stopped.

Then, in the [spiritual vision] of all the extraordinary people, a blood-colored illusory net slowly opened above their heads.

That is the secondary law [Pirate Code] that directly governs this pirate port.

Perhaps it was because there were so many extraordinary beings of the Lighthouse Sequence gathered here that even an illusory giant lighthouse was formed in the sky.

Under the light, the extraordinary people of the same sequence all felt that their spirituality became more lively.

Then, an ancient voice that seemed to have come from thousands of years ago, without any emotion, rang in the hearts of every pirate:

“Statistics: There are 1186 councillors, and a total of captains who have the [Ten Commandments of Pirates] recognized by the Code.

There are no new applications for co-election of members this time.

[Overseer] There are two candidates: No. 1, Deputy Speaker Edward Redbeard; No. 2, hereditary member of parliament Violet Harold.

Once the election conditions are met, the campaign ceremony begins.

Round 1: Voting. "

As soon as he finished speaking, blood fell in front of the eyes of every captain, and condensed into a ballot with a skull printed on it.

Both the old sea dog and the new captain understood it instantly.

Whether you can read or not, as long as you express your true meaning, even if it's just a dot, you can vote for your favorite candidate.

Of course, Byron also has a vote that is not so valuable.

Without even looking at it, he just wrote "1" and voted for Red Beard.

Facts have also proved that his vote is indeed useless.

The two beams of light representing the support rates of the two people were evenly matched at the beginning, with one chasing the other, but the gap soon widened.

Violet was left half a body length behind Red Beard, and the gap became wider and wider until she could no longer catch up with him.

Byron was not at all surprised by this situation.

Red Beard had long since sold out all of the interests of Anchor Bay, and had even signed harsh contracts with other congressmen who were in collusion with him.

Naturally, she is far ahead of Violet, who would never betray the interests of her tribe.

But he hid the "treasure map" of Treasure Island carefully, thinking it would be his trump card to make a fortune in the future.

Byron felt a little regretful that he couldn't trap more enemies.

It was only ten minutes before the ancient voice sounded again:

“Time is up, count the votes.

Candidate number one, 671 votes, candidate number two, 515 votes.

The first round of voting for the Overseer election, candidate number one, Edward the Redbeard, wins! "

A huge cheer suddenly broke out on the pirate ships surrounding the Nemesis, as if victory was already in their grasp.

“Haha, that chick lost the election, let alone a fight.

Captain Redbeard is a wanted criminal with a bounty of 5 pounds. How could he lose to a little girl who doesn't even have a title?"

"Our Captain Redbeard is immortal and an invincible pirate!"

"If you ask me, the princess should just marry the captain. Wouldn't it be better if the two of them ruled Anchor Bay together?
Her Royal Highness the Princess is twenty years old, and our captain is forty, they are a perfect match, hahaha." Many people have seen how Red Beard recovered unscathed from repeated bombings, and they are full of confidence in him.

However, the election ceremony has only just begun.

Different from the mundane world where only voting happens, this is a world of transcendental manifestation.

Respect the collective will, but also respect the powerful individual force that can break the rules and suppress the collective will.

The winner of the vote is not elected immediately.

Instead, they will gain a privilege that is beneficial to themselves in the next "fight" phase.

The [Pirate Code] automatically runs, and the ancient voice continues to sound:

"According to tradition, the alternative fighting methods are as follows:

1. Single fight, two candidates fight to the death one on one until one of them dies or surrenders and begs for mercy;
Second, the artillery duel, where two candidates each lead a five-man artillery crew, occupy a fortress cannon one kilometer apart, and fire at each other until one side is completely destroyed or surrenders;

3. Sailing Race: Drive your flagship around the island. The first one to finish wins. During the race, you can use any means to hinder the opponent, including but not limited to firing cannons, boarding battles, cursing, etc.

4. Battleship combat: the battleships are deployed to fight a decisive battle until the enemy ship is sunk or the white flag is raised to surrender;

5. Fleet decisive battle, each team commands its fleet to start a fleet melee, the conditions are the same as above;

6. Treasure Hunt Competition: Find a target treasure or decipher the unknown in a specific area. Any means are acceptable.

Please vote for the winner, Edward Redbeard, to exclude one of the options, and spin the wheel to randomly select one of the remaining five fighting methods to start the fight. "

The "fighting" in the [Overseer] election is also very pirate-like.

These six fighting methods cover almost all the skills needed for pirate plundering.

They correspond to boarding, landing and looting, chasing merchant ships, fighting among colleagues, looting caravans, and exploring and searching for treasure.

It's more like a pirate professional skills competition than a fighting competition.

Because of the professional subdivision of the [Ladder of Glory], every extraordinary person has his own limitations and needs companions from other professions to complement each other, so it is impossible to cover everything.

It is impossible to be good at all professional skills.

Therefore, the "exclusion" privilege of the winner of the first game is particularly valuable.

You can choose from a wide variety of fighting methods and eliminate the one that is most disadvantageous to you.

"I choose the second option, the artillery duel."

Red Beard made his choice decisively without any hesitation.

Having experienced being bombarded once, he never wants to experience it a second time. If he encounters this condition randomly, he will definitely lose.

Then he waved his hands vigorously in the air, and the roulette wheel with only five options left began to spin rapidly.

Red Beard looked at Violet opposite him and found that there was no expression on her face, as if she had completely given up.

He couldn't help but reveal a smug smile of a winner.

However, as the roulette wheel spun slower and slower, Violet suddenly gave Red Beard a strange smile:
"Didn't you notice that all the members of my party voted for you?"

Red Beard's heart skipped a beat, and he inexplicably had a bad feeling.

"What do you mean?"

Violet on the opposite side raised her right hand, and the [Whalebone Seal Ring] on her index finger, which symbolized the power of the North Sea Pirate King, glowed brightly.

A pleasant female voice sounded in everyone's ears:

"As the agent of the North Sea Pirate King, I will forcibly lock onto the sixth event, the treasure hunt competition.

At the same time, apply to open the Great Treasure Trial of the Bay People and lock in the treasure hunt location this time [Valhalla]!
Accept the electoral punishment mechanism and defeat all enemies.”

Just when everyone was confused and didn't know what was going on, the roulette wheel faded away like the wind, leaving only a line of text.

"The fighting event has been confirmed: treasure hunt competition!

Location: Valhalla.

Contestants: Violet; all the captains of the extraordinary people on Red Beard's side.

Victory decision: Find the great treasure of the people of Taiwan and solve the secret of the prophecy. "

Obviously, this is one of the reasons why the Taiwanese people have ruled this place for thousands of years.

The winner of the vote can exclude one item, but local tyrants like them can forcibly lock in one of the items!
Although fairness must be maintained at the cost of one person facing off against all the enemies.

But he also took full advantage of the loopholes in the voting rules and placed five of his own pirates in the enemy camp.

It suddenly became unclear who would win.

"What's going on? Isn't Valhalla the resting place of the Bay People?"

"That's the world of the dead, I don't want to go there!"

"."

The Privateering Alliance was in an uproar, and only Byron remained calm.

This was all a plan he and the gunpowder artist had discussed in advance, and it did not surprise him.

But when the long and desolate horn sounded.

As the scene before my eyes rippled like water waves, a line of text suddenly appeared on the [Ship's Log]:
"You have discovered a new secret: the prophecy of the revival of the race of Woden, the god of prophecy, kingship, and the wild hunt!

The legend that the glory of the Taiwanese people will be reawakened by blood and fire is obviously more than just a simple legend.

Historical influence 69, solution density 1%. ”
