Pirate Kingship

The incident happened too suddenly, and the few surviving guards and royal nobles around were all a little at a loss.

Because apart from the Privy Council members who were being beaten by a large group of [King's Right Hand] of the Pirate King, and the captain of this ship, [Star Shooter] Barrett.

Whether it was the two Yorks lying on the ground or the three nobles standing next to them, they almost represented all the top leaders of the royal party.

The upper class struggled, and the idle people retreated.

Besides, even the king brothers were stabbing each other. Wouldn't they be fools if they didn't think about finding a way out at this time and kept trying to get up?

Edward IV's eyes swept across the faces of the three "loyal ministers" around him, and he asked unwillingly:

"You all defected to the rebellious [Wild Hunt]? When?!"

Puff!

Byron did not answer Edward IV's question, but twisted the gun barrel and pulled his big gun out of the York brothers' bodies.

Although Edward IV, who was blessed with half the power of the [King's Title], and Richard, the Devil Duke, who had transformed into a mythical creature, were much more resistant than ordinary people, they all fell to the ground with a "thump" without any surprise.

The strength of the two people's bodies, along with the blood, quickly flowed away from the big hole that penetrated from front to back.

The expressions on their faces were exactly the same, three parts of confusion, three parts of disbelief, and four parts of uncontrollable anger.

But no matter whether they were shocked or angry, they had completely lost the ability to fight back.

Byron was known as the "Loyal Minister of York" but not the "Loyal Minister of Edward", and was tacitly regarded as the loyal "confidant of the York family" by all his comrades and enemies.

The real attack of the term [Great Concern] certainly did not distinguish between brothers and sisters, and all were pierced through in one breath.

Coupled with the dead-line attack of [God's Vision], there would never be any chance for the enemy to counterattack.

Especially the mythical creature [Devil Duke] Richard, who had a strong vitality, wanted to quietly leave his body after his body was severely injured, and then possess his other brother George.

But he was shocked to find that it was not only his body that was pierced, but also his devil spirit, which was obviously as high as the fourth level and immune to all physical attacks!

The dark blue "fifth element" was constantly flowing out of the wound, causing the spiritual level and rank to decline rapidly.

Even if he planned to use the various abilities obtained from the return on investment of [Banker] to save himself, it was ineffective.

The devil's body had begun to collapse like a domino, and there was no way to save it.

He was about to endure the pain and abandon his body to get away from the three smiling and sinister traitors in front of him, but the weakness from the bottom of his heart made his body twitch.

He was only delayed for a moment, and was kicked back by the Earl of Stromberg, Saint Byron.

Bang!

The scarlet aura wrapped around the military boots made him know the moment he came into contact with it that this was not the storm aura of the Storm Lord, but the witchcraft aura of the same mythical creature!

Moreover, it was highly targeted at the "fifth element", and seemed to be able to further process and transform it, and he also felt a sense of inexplicable familiarity.

However, before he could figure out what aura this was, Byron stepped on his back.

The force was so strong that with a "squeak", he almost straightened his hunchback again.

Byron shook off the blood on the gun and smiled at him:

"Your Highness Richard, oh, no, it should be the devil Richard.

Don't waste your energy.

Since I shot you first, you should know that killing you is a higher priority in my heart than killing Edward.

If I hadn't been on guard against you, the mastermind who always makes trouble in secret, and wanted to find an opportunity to kill both of you in one blow, why would I have to wait until now?"

Hearing Byron point out his "devil" identity, Richard finally changed his face:

"How could you know?!"

Then, he looked up and saw Marquis Thomas Neville, and several neutral nobles whose daughters died with Anne Neville in Ganquan Palace, looking at him with cannibalistic eyes.

Immediately realized that they not only knew his identity as a devil, but also knew his conspiracy to murder Anne and her sisters, frame the [King Maker], and force the neutral faction to take sides.

Edward IV was so angry that he growled at his brother:

"Richard! What else have you done behind my back? You are an incompetent fool!"

He was not angry that Richard killed the daughters of the neutral party, but that he was caught doing something bad and used it against them to push the neutral party to the opposite side.

It is not terrible for conspirators to have ambitions. If Richard can stab himself in the back and successfully take the throne to save the York family, he will be a hero.

Even if he imprisoned his two sons in Kingston Tower and accepted his queen in the future, it would be a contribution to the York family.

But the genius idea combined with the execution of the fool must be a great disaster.

Richard ignored his brother's question, but Byron answered Edward IV's question on his behalf:

"He did more good things than that.

The reason why your good brother transformed into a devil was that he planned to occupy the bodies of your sons and be the king of the Kingdom of Hattings forever.

If we hadn't intervened, you might not know his true identity until you died, and you might even have to make him a Protector of the Realm to check the power of your mother's family.

Also, the reason why your father-in-law, Old Woodville, died was because he sent another devil, his collaborator, to get rid of his rival in the power game. "

Using a personally designed execution platform like that of King Louis to let his enemies die painlessly has never been in line with his aesthetics.

You must kill your heart to kill someone!

Edward IV seems to want to eat people.

Richard's face became paler. It turned out that this "traitor" who had been hiding in the dark had been staring at him, just like he had been staring at Warwick.

He knew every move he made, and it was impossible to guard against it whether he calculated it mentally or not.

At this moment, an idea suddenly came to his mind and he exclaimed:

"I remembered.

That was the [Scarlet Emmanuel] from the family collaborator Bloodthirsty Order. Have you already gathered the [Scarlet Holy Grail] that can make people immortal? "

Edward IV, who was almost out of breath, heard the key words he had been thinking about for many years. The light in his eyes lit up again. He raised his head and asked:

“Scarlet Holy Grail? Panacea?

Have you drank the panacea and become a truly immortal fourth-level [Night Demon]? "

Byron's fingertips bloomed with [Scarlet Aura] again, and he gave the York brothers a positive answer, but then he looked at Edward IV and added coldly:

"I have indeed obtained the promotion ritual of the [Scarlet Holy Grail] and the [Elixir] a long time ago.

After all, I, the test subject who was framed by the senior leaders of the Thirsty Blood Order and polluted by the old gods, and who is always listening to the ravings of [Mother of Creation, Lilith], was chosen by you personally.

How can I be sorry for your kindness? "

Now it was Edward IV's turn to be stunned.

"You even know this?"

When Byron saw that the battlefield was beginning to end, he was not in a hurry and said slowly:

“It’s not just this.

Didn’t your queen and father-in-law always want to annex my territory and property through marriage after my death?

I have made countless meritorious deeds for the kingdom, but I have not even been awarded an inch of land. I am still responsible for feeding your relatives?

York makes money and spends money, one wants to take it home.

Edward, you are so calculating! "

Richard also turned his head and glanced at his brother, his meaning was very obvious.

"You still have the nerve to talk to me?

I just forced the neutral faction to rebel. Look at the bad things you did. You directly forced the royal party's recognized loyal ministers to rebel.

No matter who is involved in these things, everyone will rebel! "

"Buzz"

The middle- and lower-class nobles of the Royal Party and the Neutral Party who originally surrounded Edward IV were also in an uproar.

Unexpectedly, during the war for the throne, so many unknown things happened secretly, and such dangerous and vicious battles were experienced.

As their subjects, they would naturally be brought into Byron's perspective, and found that if their identities were exchanged, not to mention fighting back, they would have been played by the York brothers to the point where nothing was left.

This ugly look of raping loyal ministers and sucking their marrow is simply chilling! Pooh!

And none of the two brothers is good, they all have this kind of virtue.

It is dangerous to be an enemy of the York family, but it is fatal to be an ally and vassal of the York family!

In the atmosphere of "limited royal power" prevalent in the Old World, nobles generally did not have a strong sense of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and all principles were based on interests.

No one thought there was anything wrong with the backstabbing of the "Loyal Lord of York". On the contrary, they felt that the stabbing shot in the back was extremely relieving.

Even the dark and depressed feelings they had accumulated under Edward IV's reign of terror were released together.

Byron looked at Brother York, with a playful smile on his lips, and said in a voice that only two people could hear:

"But who makes me kind-hearted?

I will tell you the complete ritual of the [Scarlet Holy Grail].

The hands of loyal servants (thirteen); the bones of relatives (six); drain the blood of the beloved (unrequited love is invalid) and replace two-thirds of his own blood.

Completed sublimation in a bloody palace coup."

Edward IV chewed silently in his mouth several times, his eyes gradually brightened and dimmed rapidly, and finally glanced at his younger brother and murmured:

“You should have told me, you should have told me.

If I knew the complete ceremony, the ending would definitely not be like this."

Richard shivered subconsciously, and the coldness in his brother's eyes made him feel a little palpitated.

There is no doubt that if Edward had mastered this terrifying forbidden knowledge first, he would probably not be the first to attack his brother.

They are essentially the same kind of people.

No matter if they are relatives or loved ones, they are far less important than himself. They don't love anyone but themselves!

As long as immortality can be achieved, he will definitely not mind turning a beloved queen, two brothers who have gathered the "Three Magic Suns", and eight blood-related children into ritual materials.

But although the brother is scary, the more terrifying person is the "Saint Byron" in front of him who seems to be shrouded in a halo of a saint.

He is a good guy and a victim in everything, but he is the one who has the last laugh. Could it be that after pulling off this layer of skin, there is really a harmless little white rabbit underneath?

No fool would believe it!

If you hadn't watched the other person grow up with your own eyes, you would have doubted that he was really the omniscient "Holy Spirit".

At this time, Richard suddenly thought of something, his expression changed again, and his body pressing against the deck tensed slightly:

"Why did you tell us so much? Are you stalling for time? What are you waiting for?!"

As we all know, villains die because they talk too much.

[Sea Hunter] didn't deal with them cleanly, it must not be because he forgot.

Byron estimated the time, smiled maliciously, and directly exposed Richard's biggest trump card, which also completely broke his defense.

"Of course I'm waiting for you to send a signal to summon the commander-in-chief of the 'Bridgehead Colonization Plan' [Devil Lord] Lorena.

Richard, you cooperated with a fifth-level [false god] for power and were willing to be her vanguard, but you didn't know that once she came, she never thought of leaving.

I'm not the only one who wants to take a bite of you.

You claim to be smart, but in fact, what is the essential difference between you and those natives who warmly welcomed the first batch of Old World 'adventurers' and gave them land to plant and turkeys to eat?

They are more fierce colonists than you. They not only want your land, but also your scalp!"

Probably because of racial nature, Byron habitually prepared for the worst case when making strategic plans.

Subconsciously, I think there are only two countries in the world, one is my own country and the other is a foreign country. If I can't beat the whole world, I feel that I am not fully prepared.

Spending a lot of time climbing the technology tree and carefully preparing the invincible "heavy cruiser" fleet in this era is to maximize the fault tolerance rate.

I am fully prepared for a one-on-one fight.

"The infiltration plan of the devil lord Lolina is the most hated by all organizations on the continent. It is a peaceful evolution from the bottom up that is hard to prevent, but it is incredibly destructive.

Countless ordinary people were dragged into it. When they found out that the person who came was not the savior they imagined, but a giant crocodile who used them as pawns, it was too late.

But they didn't know that there has never been any savior in this world, and they don't rely on gods and angels. If they want to live happily, they can only rely on themselves.

Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon.

If foreign enemies dare to reach out, they must draw their swords without hesitation and cut off their tentacles.

The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, or choose to be a great power, or draw their swords to hunt the strong. Apart from that, retreating or escaping is useless."

Perhaps the countries around the North Sea at the end of the "Third Gyre": Hastings, Anchor Bay and even the three countries of Kalmar are the only choice for colonial bridgeheads.

But Byron just had to say to them: No!

It is better to take this opportunity to fight openly than to be subverted secretly.

The family members are forbidden to travel within the kingdom.

As soon as the voice fell, Richard was kicked over by Byron, revealing the blood-soaked deck below and a [Beast Seal] of the [Beast Seal of the Bottomless Pit].

But unexpectedly, although the [Beast Seal] was lit up, it never received a response from the other party.

This means that although Richard was the most favored devil by the devil lord, he was abandoned by the other party without hesitation after his failure.

This also means that after his spirit body was pierced, his last hope of survival was gone.

Richard's eyes finally overflowed with despair.

"No——! Your Majesty Lorena, don't abandon me, save me, save me!"

Byron [Wild Hunt] frowned, and did not expect the devil to be so disloyal. This famous [Devil Duke] said no and didn't want it.

However, the next moment, a wild laugh was heard from another direction:

"Ahahaha, all of you bastards must die, and I am the winner in the end!

Who said I am a waste? I am the destined Lord of York! Hahaha."

Turning around, he looked at the [Royal Oak] next to him and the "waste" George, the Duke of Clarence, who was still here.

He stood up from the deck, holding his waist.

A similar [Beast Seal] appeared in his palm, flashing a dazzling red light like breathing.

Obviously, George, the only one in good condition among the three brothers of Warwick and York, had to become the new "opinion leader" selected by the devil lord [Death Pianist] Lorena.

It was equivalent to picking up a big bargain for nothing.

Imagine, in a royal family with a respected status.

The eldest brother is a genius king who is highly expected by the whole family, leading the family to overcome difficulties and establish great achievements.

Although the third brother was born with a deformity, he was talented and ruthless. He planned far-reaching plans in secret, brewed one conspiracy after another, and became the first fourth-level mythical creature in the family, gaining immortality in disguise.

The father-in-law was even more skilled. He helped the eldest brother ascend the throne with his own strength. He was determined to send him to the throne.

The three of them finally fought to the death, but in the end, the most useless and inconspicuous second brother got the peach.

No matter which history book it is placed in, it can be called the annual cool article.

Although he relied on the power of outsiders to get to the top, even if he succeeded, he would only be a puppet king in the end.

Byron was not panicked, but relieved.

"Not bad, I didn't wait in vain, and I finally came.

Beating York is just to quell the rebellion. Next, beat the colonists from the East Continent together, which is the founding battle of Hastings' rebirth from the ashes!"

The main body [Wild Hunt] swung the dragon-slaying sword in his hand.

I clearly saw a huge shadow suddenly spreading out in the reflection of the sea surface below my feet, and gusts of cold wind mixed with ghost lights were blowing on the waves.

Woo woo woo.

[Sea Hunter] came forward with a spear and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, his body straight, like two javelins that could not be bent no matter what, the whistling wind blew the cloaks of the two men.

The guards of both sides also reunited and boarded the [Dreadnaught] and [Golden Deer] in an orderly manner.

At this time, except for a few diehards who were still resisting, everyone else on the battlefield had already recognized the reality and laid down their weapons.

Even their respective masters were finished, what was the point of them continuing to fight?

Unless they escaped from Hastings with their families like Lancaster did in the past, they were destined to accept Lancaster's rule.

Discovering the new situation in the sea, most people wanted to atone for their sins and quickly submit their names to the new king.

Edward IV, who was almost bleeding dry, used up his last strength to activate the [Projection Technique] to project the scene on [Centaurus] onto the battlefield.

He shouted with all his strength:

"Byron Lancaster!

In order to regain the throne, you gave up Catherine, the Countess of Greenville, who grew up with you, to your old enemy [Sea Hunter], and let him be your accomplice and act with you.

You can even give your own woman to other men. You will do anything to achieve your goal. You are actually the same kind of people as us.

We came together because of interests, and we will definitely go our separate ways because of interests. Wait, [Sea Hunter] will betray me, and he will definitely betray you!"

Then he "warned" [Sea Hunter]:

"Byron Tudor! The king is a machine that exercises power, and ruthlessness is their bottom line.

He can tolerate you now because you are still useful.

Don't forget that you killed all his Lancaster party and took away your master's woman. Do you think you still have a chance to survive to the end?"

Edward IV thought very simply, that is, he couldn't die too aggrieved.

Even if it means death, a deep rift must be created between these two "Taiwanese twins". It would be best if they could fight among themselves in the next so-called founding war and all die at the hands of the enemy.

The great foundation of the Kingdom of Hattings should not be given to these two damn enemies even if it is given to foreign colonists!

Edward IV's last words turned out to be this.

The two people with different appearances and heights turned their heads at the same time and showed an identical strange smile, saying to him in unison:

"Send a daughter? Betrayal? Haha."

Edward IV and Richard suddenly felt that the situation was not good, and even a trace of strong fear rose in their hearts. The truth might be too heavy for them to bear.

The next moment, the two Byrons each unfolded their own mythological forms - the same [Mobius Ring·Ouroboros]!

Then the two endless rivers of blood merged together without any stagnation in full view of the public, and their bodies suddenly expanded.

Byron's sneer came out from the river of blood:

"Hey, Edward, are you talking about this kind of betrayal? Betraying oneself? I've never heard of it.

How about it, is my show of changing living people surprising and exciting?"

At the beginning, there were two voices at the same time, and in the end there was only one left, that is, the voice of Byron Lancaster.

Hiss——!

Countless people on the battlefield thought that what Edward IV said made sense, but at this moment they all gasped.

Fortunately, the troops of the devil lord were coming, bringing endless biting winds, otherwise the cool air on the sea might not be enough for so many people to breathe together.

Someone who knew the inside story cried out:

"There has never been a [Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor, and there is no [Wild Hunt] who saved the last remnants.

It was Byron Lancaster himself who fled from Anchor Bay to the colonies and laid a foundation!

Both identities were his disguises."

At this time, Archbishop Theresa of the Royal Church also revealed her true face.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, who was in a confrontation with her and could not do anything to her, looked extremely ugly.

"It turned out that Theresa, the bishop sent by the Cathedral of Our Lady of Mercy to the colony, was you?

You are really scheming. Now the colonial diocese has become your reserve, right?"

He realized that the church had encountered a huge trouble.

Byron Lancaster is Saint Byron in the "Gospel of Creation", and Saint Byron in the "Gospel of Creation" is Byron Lancaster.

Without the support of secular forces, Saint Byron's influence may be difficult to expand, and it may not be effective even if he spends more than ten years.

Now it's good. In an instant, the church and the royal power are combined, and everything is available.

And the first cardinal-level clergyman who supports him actually came from the "Cathedral of Our Lady of Mercy". How do you let the Virgin Mary deal with it?

The church has clearly found a wild father for itself, and a living father!

Among all people, the one who finds it most difficult to accept this scene is Edward IV.

The first thing that comes to mind is the financial statements submitted by [Sea Hunter]

I borrowed high-interest loans from the Remit people to support the army and meet the various requirements of the colony.

I didn't expect that the war reports sent by the two mortal enemies were all paper losses.

All the funds I saved by living frugally turned into shells fired at myself? In the end, I was the transport captain? ? I have actually been helping Lancaster to support the army? ? ?

Originally, he didn't want to die too aggrievedly and wanted to cause trouble for the other party, but he didn't expect that this time, his death was even more aggrieved.

"You! You! You!"

When Edward IV thought of the other party asking him for money, paying the soldiers, and laughing at him, veins on his forehead jumped.

A sickly blush rose on his face, which was already extremely pale due to excessive blood loss.

"Puff!"

He vomited a mouthful of blood on the deck, kicked his legs, and stared with his eyes wide open and died.

But his soul was wrapped in a silver coin and did not dissipate.

He remembered the promise of the church, and the same idea as [Incompetent] Henry IV arose in his heart:

"In the Era of Luan Yan. Noah's Ark left the material world, and it would be better to change the track."

Just when he was about to run, he could not escape Byron's casual move.

No matter what he believed in, whether his soul would eventually return to "Heaven" or "Hall of Valor", and what promises the Orthodox Church had given them, as long as he dared to die in front of Byron, the third-level [Authority of the Underworld], his soul would not be able to escape.

After his death, the last royal power on his head fell to Byron.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

A huge bell sounded, and the completely restored golden light crown shone brightly, giving Byron the complete power of the [King].

At this point, the "Pirate Kingship" and "Usurpation" rituals of the two paths were also completed.

The influence gained was enough to push Byron to soar to the fifth level along one of the routes.

Now there is only one last key question.

"Should I first be promoted to the fifth-level legend [Storm King] of the Ladder of Glory, or should I first take the bloodline original route to be promoted to the fifth-level [False God], so that the essence of life can be sublimated and become truly immortal?"
