Pirate Kingship

In the "Kingdom Domain·Puppet Kingdom", you cannot imitate the movements of a marionette jumping on a cable, otherwise you will really become a puppet.

But the toy soldiers stationed on the building block wall still couldn't stop Byron and his party from boarding the Dream Castle.

Because Byron has already activated [Group Flight Technique], short-distance flying does not consume much spiritual energy, and a mere bulwark is just a matter of ejection.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

The raiding fleet, with its relatively lower hull, was still launching close-range artillery attacks on the huge enemy ship, continuously bleeding its durability.

A large group of marines, led by a group of fourth-level extraordinary beings, had successfully occupied the wall on one side of the Jenga Castle.

The bolt-action rifle, which was not afraid of rain, opened fire one after another, driving all the toy soldiers who could only fight with bayonets into the sea.

Byron looked up and saw the tallest building in the castle, with empty plank roads in the middle. Standing at the top of the castle was wearing a straight dress and holding a saber in his hand. [Puppet King] Louis.

Behind him, countless toy soldiers lined up neatly, led by four brilliant puppet knights, passed their master and swarmed in his direction.

The first knight rides a white wooden horse, holds a long bow, and wears a crown. His body is engraved with verses from the "Gospel of Creation" and he chants the holy words:

"I saw the Lamb opening the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures with a voice like thunder saying, 'Come!'

And I looked, and behold a white horse, and the man who sat on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him. Then he came out, victorious and victorious. "

There is a word engraved in the middle of the armor's chest: Conquer.

The second knight rides a red wooden horse, holds a broadsword in his hand, chants the same holy words in his mouth, and has the word "war" engraved in the middle of his chest.

The third knight rode a black wooden horse, holding a scale in his hand, chanting: "One denarius of silver buys one liter of wheat, one denarius of silver buys three liters of barley, and do not waste the oil and wine."

Engraved on the chest is the word: Famine.

The fourth knight rides a green wooden horse, holds a death scythe in his hand, and is surrounded by an ominous green mist.

Engraved on the chest are the words: Plague and Death.

Byron's pupils shrank:

"The images of these four horsemen seem to be the [Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse] in the "Gospel of Creation" that will only appear when the end of the world comes.

In other words, it should be a high imitation version of the puppet. Hundreds of years later, it can also be called a figure.

They don't seem to be mentioned in the intelligence collected in advance. Is this the Puppet King's trump card? "

Puppet King Louis actually designed his puppets to look like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He was obviously cosplaying with the Creator, which was simply blasphemous in the eyes of believers.

But with the relationship between the Kingdom of Castile and the traditionalists of the church, even if the matter is revealed, the punishment will probably be mild.

At this time, the [Green Lady] Angelia next to her suddenly pointed at the Famine Knight among them and exclaimed:

“That seems to be Ms. Madeleine!

Didn't she disappear unexpectedly a few years ago? It turns out that he was made into a puppet by the Puppet King at some point! "

Byron turned his head and glanced at the only woman among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. After studying the wooden face for a while, he finally recognized the other person's identity.

This is a celebrity from the Kingdom of Castile, not a nobleman, nor a great adventurer or navigator, but just a low-level peasant who doesn't even have a surname.

To be more precise, he is a farm-level [Famine Hunter] whose motto is: "Eat well! Wear warm clothes!"

Because in the Old World, no matter how poor the bottom class was, it had nothing to do with the upper class. Most of the upper class elites never considered it their duty to help the bottom class civilians.

Among the people who are qualified to have access to extraordinary knowledge, there are never real poor people, people from the Old World who are ashamed of labor, and no one is willing to face the loess and turn their back to the sky all their lives.

Noble priests, lawyers, and knights are what they pursue.

In addition, the real world is not a game, there is no data balance, and the professions are very different. The extraordinary professions in the farm sequence have never been the mainstream of society.

And this Ms. Madeleine is one of the most outstanding [Famine Hunters] of this era, and has made outstanding achievements.

Although potatoes were transplanted from the Bantaan Islands to the Old World very early, adapting to the new environment during large-scale latitudinal migration is a difficult challenge.

And Ms. Madeleine was the [Famine Hunter] who presided over the further taming of potatoes.

As this high-yield crop spreads, she is also the most promising great person to be promoted to the fifth level of legend. Such achievements may even make it possible to become a god in situ in the mythical age.

But one day a few years ago, it suddenly and inexplicably disappeared without a trace.

Unexpectedly, he was actually made into a puppet by the [Puppet King], just to gather the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?

Several other Castilians also exclaimed:

"Ms. Madeleine is a saint worthy of being included in the Hall of Fame of human history and even canonized by the church!

frenzied! Louis, you are so cruel to being able to do anything to her! "

"Louis, you deserve to die!"

A group of Castilians, regardless of king, princess, or neutral camp, all yelled curses at the Puppet King without any honorific.

Of course the other three knights are not nameless little people.

The fortress sequence [Archer] with perfect accuracy, the fair and strict Tribunal sequence [Retribution Knight], and the cemetery sequence [Corpse Collector].

But these three are not Castilians, so they don't feel the pain.

[Puppet King] turned a blind eye to these insults. As a senior "director", he firmly believed that the ending of every story in this world must be that justice triumphs over evil.

Because the name of the winner itself is justice.

He just said coldly:

"Kill them all!"

Whether the four Apocalypse Knights were good or bad in their lives, they had already lost themselves and immediately took action after hearing this.

The [Conqueror Knight] holding a bow and arrow attacked first, bending the bow and putting the arrow.

Bang——!

A stream of light flew in and continued to split into hundreds of golden arrows in mid-air.

Each arrow left a long white tail in the rain curtain, and the piercing whistling sound proved that the power of each attack would not be inferior to the siege crossbow.

[Navigator] Catalina raised the storm bottle, and the strong wind and heavy rain immediately combined into a high-speed rotating bubble ring to block the team.

But unexpectedly, he was not able to block all of them. After penetrating the bubbles, the arrows still did not completely lose their power and continued to rain down like raindrops.

As a monster hunter, [Giant Beast Killer] Wycliffe followed up and finally blocked most of the arrows.

The arrows that fell at his feet sank deeply into the deck and the tails were still trembling, "buzzing".

Seeing this scene, everyone's color changed.

A normal fourth-level hero archer should not have such power. Could it be that he can be stronger than he was in his life after becoming a puppet?

"Do you think I used puppets to imitate the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse just for a nice name?"

Puppet King Louis laughed and took out a flag and stuck it in the ground.

The flag fluttered in the wind, allowing Byron and his party to see clearly that on the [Hero Battle Flag] that most of them had, there was a blood-stained linen sewn on it.

There was also a scripture written on the linen cloth. In addition to the words engraved on the four knights of the apocalypse, there was an extra line:

"It was given to them to kill a quarter of the earth's population by sword, famine, plague, and wild beasts."

The spiritual light was brilliant, like a blazing sun.

Byron saw at a glance what the sewn cloth strip was.

"The [Level 0 Holy Relic·Shroud of Turin] (incomplete) that was once used to wrap the body of the Son of God!

He actually used a Level 0 Holy Relic stained with the blood of the True God as his legion token and really summoned the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the dark?

Was it the legion special effects of the Four Horsemen just now?"

Every fourth-level hero extraordinary has a universal ability [Heroic Battle Flag].

You can use the legion token to summon a certain heroic spirit army in history to attach spirits to your heroic guards (Chapter 292).

At the beginning, Catherine relied on a [Javelin of the Silver Wing Knights] to create her mithril version of the Silver Wing Knights.

The special effects of the legion are the very powerful [Demon-Breaking Holy Silver] and [Do Not Disturb Sleeping Dragon].

You should know that the javelin is only a third-level holy relic, so you can imagine how strong the special effects will be if a zero-level holy relic is used as a legion token.

Even [Kingmaker] Warwick has a broken zero-level holy relic, and it is not surprising that Puppet King Louis, the prince of the most powerful sea power, also has one.

With this kind of treasure, it is not impossible to obtain conceptual abilities such as "100% bare-handed", "can kill people named Tom with one blow", and "change anyone's name to Tom".

Without waiting for Byron to throw [Echoes of History], the puppet king, who was sure of victory, took the initiative to say the special effects of the legion of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse:

"Below the high sequence, no matter how many enemies there are, when they appear on the battlefield, they can kill a quarter of them!

The more enemies, the stronger they are."

Hiss——!

"One quarter will be killed?"

Hearing this terrifying concept ability, the group of people hesitated, and it was obvious that no one wanted to be the one quarter that was killed.

It was hellish to defeat the enemy's home field, where they could become puppets if they were not careful.

But then the [Ship Log] read a premise that the Puppet King deliberately concealed from the hero's battle flag:

"When the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse formed a knight group to fight the enemy together."

Byron immediately revealed the opponent's background to the other fourth-level heroes and extraordinary people around him, and then ordered:

"Everyone, you just need to be responsible for separating the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from a distance and don't let them work together.

Leave the Puppet King and his toy soldiers to us."

While they were running wildly in the building block castle and urgently formulating tactics, the large army led by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had already appeared on the other side of the aisle.

The front row was a heavy cavalry like hundreds of iron towers, led by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, turning into a torrent of steel and sweeping over.

Boom.

When they ran together, the whole ship was shaking.

Byron and his team were used to crushing opponents with superior equipment, but this was the first time they encountered an opponent who also liked to use various high-end equipment to attack others, and the equipment level and manpower were higher and more than theirs.

The Puppet King really knew what it meant to use the majority to bully the minority.

But!

"No matter how many people there are, will there be more bullets?

I will make a lot of money if I kill one enemy with a hundred bullets."

Byron took a step back, and [War Witch] Violet stepped forward and casually threw a huge monster out of the pocket space composed of the No. 5 and No. 6 crystal skulls.

It defies gravity and floats in mid-air. It is as high as two floors and barely looks like a three-person human being.

The head is a thick cannon barrel, the hands, feet, and crotch are filled with all kinds of thermal weapons, and behind him are dense bullet chains wrapped like ribbons.

This is exactly one of the abilities of the [first bolt-action rifle] [killing machine].

The bolt-action rifle and the six gun demons were integrated in advance, and outsiders could not see the internal connection between it and the bolt-action rifle just by looking at it.

Facing the charge of the knights who were the strongest land warriors in the old era, Violet just waved her hand:

"Fire!"

[Killing Machine] immediately opened fire on the knights on the opposite side.

Boom——!

Blue flames all over the body exploded, strong light burst out, countless lines of fire intertwined in the air, and countless shells and bullets were fired in one breath.

Moreover, all warheads are blessed with a new title ability [Art is Explosion], turning them into explosive bombs!

The Puppet King who was preparing to watch the massacre of the Knights at the back suddenly turned stiff.

Immediately, a huge burning mushroom cloud shot straight into the sky, opening a huge hole in the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky.

The charred puppet limbs, twisted knight armor, tattered military boots, etc. were all blown hundreds of meters into the air.

The superstructure they had just been standing on also completely disappeared.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse relied on the legion special effects to block a quarter of the firepower. The damage received was not too great, but because they lost their footing, they were all thrown away by the shock wave.

According to the predetermined tactics, the Dibo brothers and sisters pounced on the [Conquest Knight], while Green Lady and Gulfstream Mother pounced on the [War Knight].

The Mountain Bear and Don Quixote pounced on the [Famine Knight], while the Candy Witch and the Thief Baron pounced on the [Plague and Death Knight].

They don't seek to kill the enemy, they just seek to separate the four Knights of the Apocalypse in a short period of time and create an opportunity for the strongest in their side to surround and kill the Puppet King.

But all the fourth orders can't help but wonder:

"We have lost our numerical advantage because of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Can we do it with only two Mr. Byron and their respective female companions?"

The next moment there was a strong wind on the ship.

"Ouch——!"

"roar--!"

Catherine and Violet re-expanded their respective mythical forms, a mithril dragon and a Leviathan whale.

The main body [Wild Hunt] and the incarnation [Sea Hunter] each fell on the backs of the two queens, transforming into complete Mithril Dragon Knights and Leviathan Knights.

The three of them were surrounded by the wind and rain, directed at the Puppet King Louis at the highest point of the Jenga Castle.

The storm enchanted the five-meter dragon lances in their hands with [Stormy Weapon]. The two spears, one high and one low, stabbed down at the same time, as if they were being smashed down together with the violently surging atmosphere.

The combined attack of the three dual-path extraordinary beings was simply earth-shattering.

Byron used his breath as an anchor, and his spiritual light penetrated his body, soul, mount, heaven and earth, and every bit of his power was not wasted.

In stormy weather, he is a veritable king of storms, and even picking up eleven sloops is not a problem.

[Puppet King] Louis felt the piercing murderous intent, and only then did he recover from the shortfall of the knights being wiped out in an instant.

Immediately put his feet on the ground, pull away and fly back.

The next second, the tallest building on the ship was blown to pieces by the power carried by the dragon lance, and a layer of the ship's building was severely shaved off.

The Puppet King Louis, who had no way to rely on, fell from the air before he could, and was hit by a terrifying tail flick like a steel whip from the mithril dragon Catherine.

Boom——!

Even though the Puppet King raised his knife to block in time, his body smashed through the floors of several floors of the ship like a cannonball until it hit the open deck heavily.

[Ladder of Glory] The ones who reach the top of the sequence are still mortal bodies, reaching the limit of human beings at most. Their physical strength is far from being able to resist monsters, and most of them are brittle.

This was also one of the reasons why their three fourth-level mythical creatures dared to surround and kill a fifth-level [Puppet Master].

Catherine, who had achieved great success in one blow, reminded:

"Be careful, the tail feels wrong. He doesn't look like flesh and blood."

Sure enough, the Puppet King quickly climbed up from the deck again. Except for the damage to his dress coat, his whole body was almost unscathed.

His face was frighteningly gloomy.

The wooden texture that originally only showed slightly on the surface of the skin spread to the whole body this time.

And there is no fragile wood texture at all, instead it shines with an iron stone luster like wood petrified jade, and a pair of eyes have turned into glass eyeballs.

Then a blue gem embedded in the chest lit up, simultaneously lighting up the rows of gear-like alchemical runes in his body and surface.

He took out a wrench from his pocket, inserted it into his left chest, and turned it quickly. The sound of the clockwork gradually tightening came from inside.

Byron was suddenly shocked:

"He also used the fifth-level thaumaturgy [Flesh and Blood is Useless] on himself, and he has transformed from a flesh and blood body into a mechanical puppet."

The thaumaturgy [flesh and blood is useless] can be used on others, and of course it can also be used on yourself.

Currently, if a transcendent wants to be promoted to a mythical creature, he or she needs to rely on the [Bloodline Classic] from a certain source of knowledge.

But the Puppet King, who was never willing to succumb to others, did not choose to learn the forbidden knowledge of an old god. Instead, he used his own thaumaturgy [flesh and blood is useless] to embark on another path of completely abandoning flesh and blood.

And normal puppeteers don't use living people as puppets. Their main job is to make puppets by hand using various materials like craftsmen.

At the third level, they have the supporting ability [Puppet Transformation], which can transform ordinary puppets into various murder weapons, or even powerful strange objects.

Puppet King Louis obviously used relevant knowledge to deeply transform his body.

He also used two energy supply systems, the alchemy stone and the clockwork.

If a few years pass, it may be possible to install a whale oil-powered steam engine.

If he continues to study like this, it may really be possible to achieve another form of immortality.

At that time, it will really have a taste of "flesh and blood are weak, and machinery ascends".

Among all the extraordinary people, he is the most unique one.

Swish——!

[Puppet King] exerted force on his feet and instantly turned into an afterimage, dodging a high-speed water gun spit out by Violet.

He stretched out his legs, and ran like the wind between the buildings at a nearly 180-degree angle, with circles of terrifying gas explosions behind him.

After switching his life essence, Puppet King Louis was no longer a human being, and his body and soul no longer had any shortcomings.

This was not over yet.

He suddenly stepped on the ground with his feet, and while leaping into the sky from between the two giant beasts, he whispered:

"Binding the God and bringing down the Holy One!"

A white halo exploded above his head, and another shadow with the same appearance as him appeared behind him, with ten fingers shooting out silk threads, connecting to the main joints of this puppet body.

The body suddenly became a puppet of the God of Self.

It was obvious that the "director" and the puppeteer were not unable to go on stage in person, and he was even the strongest "actor" in his hands.

He performed better than other professional actors.

"What a strong aura!"

This was the only extraordinary person who gave birth to the God of Self from "humanity" that Byron had seen, except for himself. The others before him were either "divine" or "animal".

Coincidentally, the full name of the Creator is [The Bound Creator], while Louis's self-god is called [The Bound God].

From his own obsession, to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, to the God of Self, this guy's arrogance and pride are completely consistent.

He really feels from the bottom of his heart that "I am the only one in the world".

It also made Byron realize that the fifth level and the fourth level are completely incompatible, and no matter whether they are legends or false gods, there is absolutely no simple role.

Regardless of their strength or means, they must be extremely strong in their hearts.

"Lancaster, I will give you the end of the play! Rest in peace."

The puppet king was about to chop at the [Wild Hunt] on the back of Leviathan, and the [Killing Machine] responsible for providing long-range fire support had already opened fire on him in advance.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The holy relic saber in Louis's hand flashed and danced into a ball of silver light, blocking the bullets one by one, and then continued to pounce on Byron unwaveringly.

What he used was not the [Supreme Art], but the [Castilian Saber Art] that all soldiers were practicing.

Core Secret: [Six Saber Slashes]!

These are the diagonal slashes of the four diagonals, up, down, left, and right, and the horizontal cuts in the left and right directions. Although they look simple, they are actually very well-honed.

There is no trick to defeat him. You can only use stronger power and faster speed.

At this time, the fleets belonging to various forces around him had to gradually approach the core battlefield because of the rapid contraction of the silk thread.

Everyone saw the fierce battle on the Dream Castle, and also saw the powerful fighting posture of [Puppet King] Louis with almost no shortcomings.

As he got closer and closer to [Wild Hunt].

The [Wild Hunt], who had just broken through the fourth level, seemed to have no advantages over this legend in any long board, and countless hearts were involuntarily hanging together.

At this time, Byron also decisively revealed the first trump card that he had prepared in advance.

Boom——!

The storm aura in his eyes was bright, and his momentum suddenly rose steadily.

"Some people may have forgotten that one of the core abilities of the Golden Code that was stolen by the Wild Hunt is to temporarily raise the level of the emperor or regent by one level in their core territory!

And the Golden Deer's ability, United as One, is to transform its own radius of 100 meters into the royal domain of the emperor of the Holy Golden Empire.

If I hadn't said it, who would have thought that the Wild Hunt would have a dreamlike linkage with the holy relic warship of the Sea Hunter?

So, the reason why the Wild Hunt has the power it has now must be all due to itself.

Golden Code, fill it up for me!"
