Pirate Kingship
Chapter 262 Living Battleship, Bad News Arrives
Byron silently pronounced the fate of a powerful noble in the kingdom.
It's as easy as killing a chicken, only whether you want to, not whether you can.
This is not because he wants to be deliberately high-profile, but because his own rapidly expanding strength no longer allows him to continue to follow the crowd.
Now, under the Vanguard Colonial Trading Company, there are already three official third-order transcendent beings, Byron himself, Violet, and Skeleton Knight Andrew.
Plus [Dubler Heavy Swordsman] quasi-swordsman Herman, a silent exhibitionist who hunts servants.
There is also a third-level [Shadow Spell] obtained from Velazquez, which can create a great wizard in a short time.
There are three people in the team who are not far away from this step.
Gourmet [Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred has begun to perfect his life menu; [Fairy] Regrel is ready to start the promotion ceremony at any time;
Catherine is the fastest and the countdown to promotion begins.
Once she is promoted to the third level, she will receive the blessing of the [Golden Law] in the international port, and she will instantly gain the fourth level of combat effectiveness.
Even if he is just a fourth-level floor-level player like [Blue Hair], who can only play with the power of a fox or a tiger, it is more than enough to defend the International Port.
There are about to be eight mid-level survivors, not counting the possible third-level survivors among the Lancaster party.
Byron naturally had the confidence to use some slightly radical methods without worrying about backlash.
“If you don’t give it to me, then I will get it myself.
I say that where there are Lancastrian gangsters, there must be bandits.
What if when I went to suppress the bandits, I accidentally drove all the "bandits" to Port Royal, and then accidentally failed to rescue them, resulting in the death of the entire Newman family.
No one can blame me, right?
In order to suppress more and more bandits, it is reasonable for me, a "confidant" who vows to avenge the Newman family, to apply for more military spending and expand two more fleets, right?
Anyway, I have killed more than one governor and two rear admirals. I am very skilled at doing this! "
Brother Newman suddenly felt a chill on his neck for no apparent reason.
"Taking a step back, the higher my extraordinary rank is, the stronger the effect of [Sorrowful Troubles] will be on my superiors. Even if I don't launch a backstab, my bad luck will continue.
After I am promoted to the third level Storm Admiral, I am afraid there will be an outbreak soon.
I don’t know if their little arms and legs can handle it.
Just in time for me to find a new boss. "
On the surface, Byron showed no unusual behavior, as if he had no choice but to accept Major General Newman's arrangement.
"Bill" put the wine glass on the table and spilled some wine.
The dinner party was suddenly a little cold, but some people breathed a sigh of relief.
It can only be said that the two of them cooperated tacitly, had attitudes and tempers, and vividly interpreted the anger of the two capable men who had emotions but could not vent them.
It didn't go as far as breaking up on the spot, but it also made people feel that the young man was not rich and easy to manipulate, so he subconsciously lowered his guard.
But they never imagined that these two brothers were already preparing to use the knife to take advantage of themselves.
At this time, General Quartermaster Mallory Barton, who was also on the death list next to him, also came to smooth things over:
"Mr. Sea Hunter and Mr. Bill, these two are the general's confidants and son-in-law. They should also be considerate of the general's situation.
Now the top priority is to save everyone's lives and fortunes from [Kingmaker] Warwick. You two must put the overall situation first! "
As he spoke, he raised his wine glass towards the Governor and changed the subject:
"I heard that some time ago, Young Master Buck from the Governor's family went to the celestial circulation zone with the Kingdom's expedition ship [Twin-Gun Ranger].
The current exploration progress is about to break through the windless zone and enter the southern hemisphere. This speed is worthy of being the first echelon of all countries.
Maybe there will be good news coming back soon, and then maybe His Majesty will be happy and we can all get a share of Master Buck's glory.
If you are lucky enough, you will have everything without forcing it. "
Byron knew all about the Newman family's family situation.
I know that Buck Newman is the second son of the Governor, a second-level [Navigator] in the lighthouse sequence, and the only descendant in the family's direct line who can be cultivated.
Compared with his eldest son who is the heir to the earl, Milton, the first-level gold element sequence [Golden Eye], is better and more restless.
He is also regarded by the Newman brothers as a rising star who may lead the family further.
This is usually also the standard configuration of aristocratic families in various countries.
The eldest son who has the right to inherit will stabilize the family business, while the second and subsequent sons will have to work hard on their own. They may die silently somewhere, but they may also suddenly rise to prominence.
The same is true for Lancaster. The eldest son Henry VI is the [Law Master], and the second son Prince Sauron is the [Storm Knight].
In Byron's generation, his cousin Prince Edward was also a [lawyer].
If there were no accidents, as the only son of the prince, it would be almost impossible for him to take the path of Storm Knight, which requires risks to advance.
But there is a high probability that he will also be employed as a [Law Master].
"Haha, I just crossed the river by touching the Kingdom of Castile and the Barbary Pirates.
There are always more solutions than difficulties. Even though Buck, the boy, worked hard, the achievements of the kingdom's intelligence officers cannot be completely erased.
Our York Party has just taken over the colony for more than half a year, and we all want to thank the Lancaster Party for the good foundation they laid for us.
Let us pay tribute to the selfless Lancastrians! Hahaha."
Hearing the quartermaster talk about his best son, Governor Jefferson also smiled. He picked up his glass and said a few polite words, while mocking his old enemy.
Buzz buzz.
An exquisite [Echo Conch] for emergency communication suddenly sounded on his waist.
Byron could tell at a glance that this conch seemed to be of a very high level, and there should be no problem with real-time communication for thousands of kilometers.
"Huh? Is this our adventure ship [Twin-Gun Ranger]?"
Governor Jefferson did not expect that just now he was talking to his subordinates about his son and the expedition ship, and there was an immediate response.
My first reaction was whether there really was any good news. After I was connected, I quickly asked:
"Buck? Did something happen when you summoned me so late? Could it be that you have discovered the New World?"
However, the voice coming from the other side was not an announcement of good news as he expected.
Instead, there was a very noisy and chaotic sound, which seemed to be the sound of cannons, gunshots, and countless screams and exclamations mixed together:
"That thing is underwater. Judging from the size of the black shadow, it should be a sea monster. Quick, throw all the dragon dung potions we have into it."
There was a loud "rumbling" sound, as if something huge suddenly broke out of the water.
“O Creator, the boat is a boat, a diving boat!
What the hell is a ship flying the flag of the Kingdom of Castile and covered in barnacles and tentacles? ! "
Rumble.
After a round of thunderous cannon fire, someone shouted again:
“We were shot, and there was something wrong with those shrapnel, not cast iron bullets, it looked like broken barnacles.
Will, what are you doing, why did you suddenly attack me? ah--! "
"First officer, I'm sorry, I'm out of control. Help me, help me."
"It itches so much, it hurts so much, I can't breathe."
Hearing that it was not good news, but obviously a very strange encounter, the Governor ignored the other people in the banquet hall and hurriedly asked:
"Buck, Buck, talk! What's going on?"
There were several more musket shots and the sound of human bodies falling to the ground.
Finally, a young man's voice sounded. Many people here immediately recognized that familiar voice. It was Buck Newman, the protagonist of the topic just now.
"Father, it's not good, we were attacked south of the windless zone, where we were about to break through.
It was an enemy ship of the Kingdom of Castile, no, it was a giant octopus with huge arms and legs that could dive, no, either.
Just like the legendary [Legendary Battleships] that can single-handedly subdue the Seven Seas, the diving enemy ship is alive, like the most terrifying hunter, cunning and cruel.
I saw the name of the ship engraved on the hull. It was the first-tier elite adventure ship of the Kingdom of Castile [Maywind]! "
Another round of gunfire interrupted Buck's words. When the conch was connected again, the tone on the other end had changed:
"Ah, barnacles, and corals, don't come on me
Hahaha, it’s time for the snails to disappear. It’s time for Haha”
Before he could say a few more words, his throat seemed to be gradually filled with something, and he could no longer make any sound, leaving only a vague whimper.
Governor Jefferson, who was unable to help at all, was so anxious that he was sweating and shouted:
"What's wrong with you, Buck? Buck, please, don't scare Dad!"
However, there was a huge, heart-breaking sound of the hull breaking, and the low roar of some kind of giant monster.
There was no sound of anyone on the other side of the echoing conch.
None of the guests here are ordinary people, so they naturally know what it means to encounter such a situation on the sea.
If nothing else happens, there will be no more living people on that boat.
Especially when they heard the strange word "Luo An Ji", it seemed that the fishy smell of sea water hit their faces, making them subconsciously hold their breath.
I felt even more that something was wrong.
"Ah! My little Buck——!"
The governor, who was already quite old, couldn't bear the blow of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man to his side. His eyes suddenly turned white and he slumped down on his chair.
"Your Majesty the Governor."
A sudden piece of bad news caused chaos in the banquet hall.
Byron did not immediately gloat, but his body suddenly shook when he heard that familiar name.
"The [Maywind] mentioned by Governor Velasquez of Havana returned to the celestial circulation zone from the New World and just killed the [Two-Gun Ranger] on board Buck Newman?
What did I say in the first place?
The May Wind's bones are about to get cold. Will the Newman family be in bad luck soon?
Moreover, Luo Yan Ji? I have also seen this term in [Bone-eating Clown] Koraskin’s logbook! "
But compared to the complacency of an unexpected guest appearance as a "prophet".
Byron is one of the few people in the Bantaan Islands who knows best how dangerous the New World is.
What he is more concerned about is that the "May Wind", which has obviously missed its stride and is as polluted as Kolaskin, has brought back something from the New World, which only shows half of its claws?
As a [Historical Corrector], if there is a possibility of being accidentally affected, Byron will definitely be involved in the whirlpool.
Only by being alert in advance can we be prepared.
