Pirate Kingship

Seeing the barnacle shells carrying the terrifying "coral disease" flying towards them, the two could no longer care about their ideological differences.

[Unbreakable Fortress] Sam Leopold suddenly clasped his hands together and shouted loudly like thunder:

"Yu!"

Buzz—!

With a low sound, a golden fortress shadow centered on his body and instantly expanded to cover the entire town.

The town walls made of thick logs were dyed with an impregnable and brilliant golden light.

Nearly two thousand anchor chains instantly rose from all over the town and were firmly anchored to his body.

clang! clang! clang!

Sixteen shells fired from the sea hit an invisible barrier one after another, and then bounced out along the sloping barrier.

Even though the barnacle larvae were scattered everywhere, they failed to invade the town at all.

This is exactly the professional ability of the fortress expert at the third level of the fortress sequence [Iron Ambition].

As long as the place where you stand has the necessary city defense facilities, such as city walls, moats, or even a small defensive horse, you can turn it into a fortress that you can control.

The stronger the city defense facilities are on the physical level, and the more people trust him on the mysterious level that he will not fall, the stronger this "fortress" will be.

At the same time, fortress experts can also use various auras to provide blessings to the defending troops and unite them into a whole. No matter how big the fortress is, it will not be a problem.

The ability to withstand shelling just now is the "protection against long-range attacks", which was also called "powerful protection against arrows" in ancient times.

Therefore, the defense capabilities of a fortress with fortress experts and without fortress experts are completely different.

"Quick, get into combat position!"

Sam Leopold held off the first wave of attacks, and armed Lancastrians poured out from across the town, entering the towers and scaling the log walls.

The biggest problem now is that they have no intention of operating Gonave Island as an inheritance.

Their eyes have always been on the prosperous Tayman Islands in Catherine's hands, and they are even preparing to retake Jamestown Port Royal, which originally belonged to them.

In addition, the time for establishing the town here is too short, the city defense is too weak, and there is a serious lack of heavy weapons that can suppress the "May Wind".

Simply relying on [Iron Ambition] to resist bombardment will not last long.

Everyone can't help but feel as if they are facing a formidable enemy.

At the same time, there was another movement on the monster battleship that had just completed a salvo, and water suddenly rolled under the ship.

Then lines of water appeared on the sea, and before they landed, [the first opportunity to spot the enemy] Burley Tania had already "saw" their true appearance.

The skin seemed pale from being soaked in water for a long time, and the exposed body was covered with barnacles, corals, scales, and arms and legs.

The appearance of quite a few of the Coral People has even transformed into non-human marine creatures. They are not a single species, but a messy hodgepodge.

I don’t know if it’s the crab that cheated, or the coral that cheated. In short, it’s just one word: Chaos!

A fishy smell accompanied by the moisture of the sea water hit my face.

He immediately ordered:

"Attention everyone, it's the coral people who are suffering from coral disease.

Each unit loaded up with shotgun shells and waited until they were close to the wall before firing.

According to the intelligence shared by the Lighthouse Federation, they move slowly on land. If they dare to go ashore to attack us, they are seeking death.

As long as you are careful not to come into close contact with them, coral diseases cannot infect you. "

Considering that the tropical Bantaan Islands are rainy, the relevant urban defense facilities have rain-proof structures. Even all firearms in the open-air defense line are equipped with rainproof covers.

Although the heavy rain had an impact, the pressure it brought to them was not too serious, and at least 70% of their firepower could be retained.

However.

Surprisingly, after the parasitized coral people came ashore, their mobility did not decline as much as the intelligence said.

Although the speed has been reduced, it is only slightly slower than in the water.

Each one stepped on the muddy and slippery ground, like a galloping horse sprinting at full speed.

It just withstood the defensive fire and received a volley of muskets, and then hit the wooden city gate blessed by [Iron Ambition] hard, making a loud rumbling sound.

Only a few fell on the charge path.

More coral people also tried to jump up and rush to the city wall, but were driven down by the defenders who reacted in time.

Seeing this scene, Beretania was suddenly shocked.

Immediately, through the powerful perception of [Breath of All Things], I gained insight into the cause of the accident, and suddenly realized:

“I understand, it’s a heavy rain!

During this period, the number of ships on the sea decreased significantly, and they could no longer satisfy the May Wind's hunting desire.

But dry land will greatly weaken the power of it and the coral people. But when the rainy season comes, water will be everywhere on the land when it rains.

This problem will no longer exist.

I'm afraid the restriction that the coral man's activity range can only be two kilometers offshore will also disappear.

Land can no longer protect us.

If a heavy rain lasts for a few days or even half a month as usual, the coral disease may swell like a snowball and then flood countless colonial towns!

They must be defeated and the camp moved immediately. "

After realizing that the situation was critical, he immediately drew his sword in his hand, and wisps of white water vapor puffed between his mouth and nose.

When this Storm Knight was promoted to the second level, he chose a completely different path from Byron and obtained the core ability [Breathing of All Things].

He did not need to comprehend it himself, but mastered the "flow of mind" at the low sequence, and automatically understood the "divine vision" after being promoted to the middle sequence.

The vision of God is completely different from that of humans. By breathing close to the frequency of all things, he can not only see things that are invisible to the naked eye, but also borrow the power of all things.

And when he can achieve synaesthesia with the "god" who dominates everything in the human body, that is, the absolutely free "self", he can achieve the magical "holy descent".

"Exhale--exhale--"

Boretania lacks sufficient tempering and cannot reach the level of "holy descent" for the time being, but it is easy for him to breathe with all things and borrow their abilities.

Just like now, the sky and the earth are full of white water vapor, which allows him to resonate smoothly and borrow the power of water.

It is not an exaggeration to call it the breathing of water.

Boretania was covered with water vapor and exploded with a bang, and the whole person was like an arrow shot out.

Looking at the enemies outside the wall and the sea in the distance, his eyes were sharp:

"Kings who rely mainly on blood inheritance rather than ability have mixed qualities, and it is impossible to guarantee that every generation will be wise.

From now on, the king only needs to be a nominal commander.

Even if there are different heirs competing for the throne, it is impossible to rely on the military power in hand to cause the people to suffer.

Real national governance must be handed over to talented people.

And I, Boley Tanya, will prove to everyone that I am the most talented person!"

He always believed that the rule of law should be greater than the rule of man, and the capable should be promoted and the mediocre should be demoted. The country should be led by talented people.

If there is someone more suitable than him, he will voluntarily give in.

Unfortunately, there is no one at present!

The firm will of who else but me cannot be shaken, this is his way.

Fortunately, when Byron just got the news of the Lancaster Party from his aunt Meganella, he did not immediately run over excitedly to recognize them.

Otherwise, he will have to live a shameless and miserable life with a bunch of beauties like a stallion.

Who would be willing to indulge in this kind of low-level fun that can only "bang bang bang" besides eating, drinking and having fun?

"Storm Knights, follow me!"

"Yes!"

More than 20 Storm Knights who had already taken their positions drew their swords, activated [Son of the Storm] or [Breath of All Things], and followed behind Beretania to blow over the top of the log wall like the wind.

All the coral people who rushed up were cut in half with one sword.

"These coral people are only better in that their bodies have been transformed, which makes them stronger than ordinary people, but their wisdom has shrunk greatly with their rationality, and their strength is no more than..."

But before he finished speaking.

Suddenly, an illusory red battle flag was seen waving above the May Wind.

The Storm Knights were all people who had seen the world, and they immediately recognized that it was a heroic battle flag belonging to a fourth-level hero!

It is also the basis for hero-level extraordinary people to build heroic troops.

This is also an unexpected situation that has never appeared in the intelligence.

As we all know, the most fundamental difference between the combat power of the third level and the fourth level is that one is alone and the other is surrounded by people.

The most powerful universal hero skill of the fourth-level extraordinary is-together.

The people who originally thought that the monster warship could not land and the danger was still controllable suddenly looked extremely ugly.

"Could it be that the legendary fourth-level hero captain of the May Wind, the adventurer [Infinite Evolution] Balboa who passed all the "Extreme Eight Items" did not die?

He just fell with his warship.

The main purpose of the crazy attack on ships on major trade routes this week is not to kill, but to replenish his own guards?!"

It was as if it confirmed their thoughts.

The water surface rolled again, and eight blood-red giant octopus tentacles appeared behind the ship and waved wantonly.

One after another, the dilapidated sailing ships of the sloop-class surfaced.

Each ship has been covered with dense barnacles, and purple-red tentacles much smaller than the May Wind have grown out of the broken deck.

[Infinite Evolution] Balboa's fallen guards turned out to be a monster fleet contaminated by it.

[Eye-catching] Try to breathe with the May Wind and steal the information it carries.

"Are these warships infected with coral disease?"

But he was shocked to find that coral disease can infect not only humans, but also ships.

Octopuses have three hearts and nine brains. It seems that the opponent only needs to split a part of each of the eight tentacles and parasitize on other sunken ships.

At the same time, some of those "coral people" will be absorbed by the ship in the later stage of infection.

Cooperating with the tentacles that act as brains, the inorganic ships are gradually transformed into semi-biomass living octopus warships.

Even if the upper limit seems to be only eight lowest-level sloops, it is no weaker than the combat effectiveness of a group of sea monsters.

The eight warships were like eight tentacles, and at this moment, they seemed to be commanded by the same brain, quickly lining up on the sea, forming a long battle line.

Boom.

The fleet fired a salvo.

[Heart of Iron] trembled violently, and the fortress expert Old Sam also felt a surge of blood in his chest, and almost vomited blood.

And there were a bunch of coral people on each ship who fell into the sea like dumplings and swam towards the town at high speed.

All the defenders fell into deeper despair bit by bit.

They were facing a fourth-level hero adventurer who had fallen and turned black and had the ability to adapt to evolution, leading the hero guards who had accumulated for a week to siege.

Nine warships, thousands of coral people, they had no chance of winning.

As their confidence was defeated, the power of [Heart of Iron] also weakened sharply, and loopholes appeared in the defense.

Just at this moment of distraction, some defenders were accidentally parasitized by barnacle larvae, and their faces turned pale.

"Save me."

Once the gap appeared, it would be like a dam that collapsed.

Even if the Storm Knights desperately blocked it, it would only be a matter of time before the wall was breached by the coral people.

The two third-level warriors looked at each other sadly and gave an order with difficulty:

"From us, the Storm Knights and the infected will be the last, and the others will flee in different places. If anyone can escape, he will escape."

[Eye on the enemy's opportunity] At least Beretania has no double standards.

The more power you gain, the more responsibility you need to bear. Even a self-proclaimed leader cannot abandon his companions and run away alone.

Silently stood at the front of the wall.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The evacuation bell also carried a bit of sadness.

Their families had experienced an escape once and were familiar with the process. They knew that the taboo at this time was to waste time.

They suppressed their grief and rushed into the heavy rain with the things they had prepared long ago, and began to evacuate to the depths of the island.

All the infected combatants, led by the Storm Knights, clenched their swords and gritted their teeth, ready to use their flesh and blood and lives to delay time until the last moment.

But after the First World War, the last elite of the Lancaster Party will eventually be buried here, and the mission of regaining the throne and avenging the White Rose will certainly be far away.

This sense of despair of shattered ideals makes them feel more grief and anger than death.

Suddenly, in the [Breath of All Things] of Beretania.

A golden light as bright as the dawn light suddenly tore through the darkness of the dark clouds in front of the city.

Then a warship with a strange appearance and golden light all over its body turned into a flash of lightning and shattered the waves and flew over.

"What is that?!"
