Pirate Kingship

At first, Byron thought that the attack was a bizarre accident.

Considering the outstanding fourth-order level of [Wrath of Nature], it was not a natural achievement. At most, he guessed that it was another old god cult like the Abaddon Cult that was secretly making trouble.

Now was the critical moment for him to plan the Kalmar Union and the North Sea Empire, and all actions had to give way to this matter.

Even if a few colonists from the East Continent appeared, at most they would just block the enemy with soldiers and cover the water with earth.

But the other party only said a few words to make Byron realize that these people were far from the scattered soldiers he had guessed, and they were actually going to do a big job for him in his backyard without making a sound.

Flutter.

I immediately drove the raven to flap its wings and landed on the seaside forest, and saw a very simple camp.

The main body of the camp was just a small tree house grown automatically by oak trees. There was no bonfire, no reserve food, and it was not even as good as the hut of the forest ranger. It was the limit to be able to shelter from the wind and rain.

There were three creatures in the hut wearing bark, no, it should be said that they were like tree people, strange creatures with rough bark instead of skin.

They were half tree and half human, with thick roots and branches replacing their limbs, a human face with ravines on the top of the trunk, and a lot of emerald green leaves on their heads.

They looked even more twisted and grotesque than the [Wrath of Nature].

Judging from their body shapes, two of them were sturdier and one was relatively slender, so they should be two men and one woman.

One man and one woman were fourth-order mythical creatures, and the last male tree person standing at the back as a follower was third-order.

With this tree house as the center, the forest within a kilometer range was rustling, and they were obviously insects, beasts, and monsters controlled by them, acting as the eyes and ears of the defense against foreign enemies.

The defense work was already strict enough. If Byron hadn't come here in person, other fourth-order subordinates would definitely not be able to catch their tails.

Byron's mind moved:

"Is this the legendary mythical creature [Oak Sage]? Originally a human, he eventually turned himself into a tree through a ritual.

The living habits, nutrition sources, living conditions, and thinking patterns are all very different from those of humans.

Rather than saying that this organization is protecting nature as a just cause, it is better to protect their own interests, the interests of trees."

Three Leaf Island is the second largest island in the Channel Islands, second only to the main island Rose Island. Although it is a small place in a corner of the vast Dragon King's Court, it has a very long history.

Byron used [The Authority of the Underworld] to roughly tour the collective subconscious of this land, and also peeked into many ancient legends and secrets banned by the church.

For example, the name of the quasi-legendary battleship [Royal Oak] originated from the ancient extreme environmental protection organization of this mythical era - "Druid Sect".

This tree-like mythical creature is called [Oak Sage], which masters a variety of natural witchcraft and is widely distributed throughout the Channel Islands.

When the great red dragon Abaddon ruled here, this organization was a notorious thorn, relying on the forest to constantly attack human towns.

At the beginning, there were relatively mild branches among them, such as the "Balance Faction", who believed that it was necessary to seek a balance between man and nature, to live in peace and develop together.

After all, humans and everything they created are also part of nature.

But in the last hundred years of the mythological era, as the tide continued to rise, the god they believed in, the [God of Abundance] and [Horned One] Sananos, who was closely anchored in nature, adhered to the way of nature but never paid attention to the development of human believers, was the first to lose balance and fell into the chaotic beast side.

A neutral god who was not concerned with himself, degenerated overnight into the core minions of the Sea of ​​​​Source invading the material world.

His believers naturally became more and more extreme, and the Balance Faction soon disappeared, leaving only the Natural Supreme Faction that believed in the law of the jungle and environmental protection first.

As a group of extreme environmentalists, they advocate that all humans no longer use fire, no longer cultivate, no longer breed, no longer breed, and no longer do anything that violates the laws of nature.

They want all intelligent creatures to return to the most primitive Paleolithic Age.

It is obvious that this sect of the Old Gods has returned to this hometown thousands of years ago.

When it ran into the Industrial Revolution head-on, it immediately became a staunch obstacle to the industrialization of the kingdom.

And the means used were not protests, road blocking, or extortion of gold pounds in the name of environmental protection, but violent killing right away!

This is something Byron absolutely cannot tolerate.

He relied on his raven, which could not be discovered even by the false gods of the same level after he was promoted to the fifth level, and landed directly on the top of the tree house.

He looked inside along the gap between the branches.

In addition to the three [Oak Sages], there is also a white moth man with a body size of only the size of a palm, which looks as abstract as the Oak Sage. It was it that just rebuked the Druid Sect for its recklessness.

The male Oak Sage named Stuart obviously didn't think he was wrong.

In the face of the accusation, he immediately retorted coldly:

"I am following the natural way of my Lord [God of Plenty], [Horned One] Sananos.

When my Lord returns, he will see a clean Three-Leaf Island Divine Domain.

This place originally belonged to my Lord. He has been fighting a tug-of-war with the Great Red Dragon Abaddon throughout the mythological era. As a mortal being ruled, he has no right to pollute this land."

The female Oak Sage next to him said indignantly:

"Yes, how dare they?!

Now that the owner of this land has returned, it is time for the development of this country to return to the right path."

Stuart saw the "moth" opening and closing its mouthparts, and it was still holding on to him tightly, so he suddenly waved his hands:

"Patrick!

We are the pioneers sent by the temporary alliance of religions. Our ancestors were immigrants from the Dragon King's Court. We have a unique advantage over others when conquering this land.

Who doesn't want to take this opportunity to benefit their family first?

A few days ago, the Abaddon Secret Cult was hit and bloodied here, and returned in defeat.

Isn't it because they want to help their main god [Great Red Dragon Abaddon] regain the earthly domain a thousand years ago before the flood comes?

Don't think I don't know that the people from your Worm Temple are also secretly parasitizing the upper clergy and nobles of the Kalma Alliance, transforming them into [Mothmen] and lower-level followers.

Everyone is the same, and no one has the right to blame others. "

The big white moth, that is, the [Mothman] Patrick in the mouth of the Oak Sage, was exposed, and hurriedly waved his wings and argued with his tiny mouthparts:

"How can this be the same? The [Queen of Eternal Night] of the Kalma Alliance is not here, and the regent prince was also killed, and the internal rift is serious.

The danger is much smaller than that of the Kingdom of Hastings, which repelled the strong attack of the Abaddon Esoteric Cult.

We took advantage of the arrival of the beast tide and the spread of 'coelenteritis' to start quietly. It is fundamentally different from your high-profile killings."

Hearing their conversation, Byron's face kept changing.

Only then did he realize that these old gods' followers actually came with the beast tide the day before.

The beast tide was not a natural disaster as they thought at first, but a premeditated human action.

It was only because the vanguard of a sect had only a few people and the target was too small that they were not discovered in time.

As a result, the buffer period of one week to half a month that was initially expected would be greatly reduced.

This crisis cannot allow them to train and adapt step by step.

The sea monster army dominated by [Sea Heir] is probably on the way, and they may encounter them after encountering two more ordinary beast tides.

"But if there is no army-level colonial fleet, there is no way to implement effective rule. What can these mythical creatures do?

Retaking the lost divine domain of their own main god may be part of the plan, but who is the target of bringing together multiple cults to do things? Who is the linker?

Moreover, although these old god followers are in similar situations, they are by no means synonymous with harmony. Collective action means that there are huge benefits that can make them put aside their prejudices."

Byron personally experienced their "brotherly friendship and respect for brothers" at the beginning.

When the colonial war in the southern continent began, there were actually quite a few churches of the old gods that landed on the east coast, but only the Deep Dive Church and the Brotherhood of the Rift blocked the way.

Other sects could not even see a shadow.

When the Archbishop of the Deep Dive Church [Demon Nightmare] Dagon escaped, he also performed a starter move that impressed Byron very much: "First, fire a flare at the friendly forces."

He killed [Father of Sharks] Pohnpei and the entire Rift Monastery, and fled with [Legendary Battleship·Dragon Head Ship·Valhalla].

From this, we can know that there are also many contradictions among the churches of the old gods, and if there is a chance, they don't mind killing each other first.

The only consensus they can reach is only one:

"Help the gods they believe in to regain consciousness, regain some humanity, and finally ride the flood to break through the dam of human hearts and perform the return of the dead!"

While Byron was guessing what they were going to do, he continued to stretch his ears.

The quarrel in the tree house because of "multiple orders" continued.

The female Oak Sage was already a little impatient:

"Patrick, that's enough!

The lord whose name cannot be mentioned came to the Dragon King's Court decades earlier than us. Hasn't he thoroughly studied the power system of the old continent?

Are there any risks? Don't we know it ourselves?

A complete [Silver Law] was cut into three parts.

The power to rule the "human world" belongs to the kings; the power to rule the "hell/the underworld" belongs to the church; the power to rule the "heaven" belongs to the Creator.

Only the [Pope's Triple Crown], as the agent of the Creator, has a trace of the Creator's authority and possesses all three powers;

Then the emperor's [Crown] has two powers;

But all kings' [Titles] only have the power of managing people. Power, no matter how many crowns he wears on his head, as long as he can't take back his own land authority, he can't make quantitative change into qualitative change.

This is the true meaning behind the crown ruling the countries in the Silver Continent!

It was indeed our mistake to underestimate the reaction speed of the Lancaster royal family, but even if we exposed a [Weird Nature's Wrath], the other party couldn't find us with its limited authority.

When all things in this land were spiritual, there was no so-called iron law of royal power!

In order to regain the domain of our Lord before the Abaddon Cult, the loss will be borne by ourselves, what else do you want?

Now let's get down to business quickly. The cult has been successfully deployed in place. What is the specific plan of that lord, you haven't told us yet. "

[Mothman] Patrick also knew that accusations were accusations, but there was no affiliation between the various sects, and no matter how outrageous they did, they could not be punished.

He just hoped that when executing the plan, these old gods' followers who were unwilling to obey each other would not fall behind, so he lowered his voice and said:

"You should all know.

Since the beginning of the Silver Age, the [Bound Creator] who stole the throne of our Lord has created the [Silver Law] and promulgated a series of outrageous regulations to prevent humans from destroying His anchor.

You can only choose one of the 65 male names and 48 female names in the "Gospel of Creation" as the name of your children, and it is strictly forbidden to choose another one;

If you simply take the [Ladder of Glory] route, it is absolutely safe, but the highest rank of a person is only the fifth-level legend, which is not great. From the beginning, he was given the title of king, and there was birth, aging, sickness and death from the beginning to the end;

Destroyed all the knowledge and legends of the mythological era, turned the entire Dragon King's Court into an information island, and prevented the revitalized knowledge from coming to the door;

Banned science and medical research, and did not hesitate to start a cruel rule of a dark thousand years. All of this was to use the [Silver Law] to seal the hole in this big ship that was cracked during the last flood.

In other words, He has been using the method of "blocking" to control the water.

But why did all these rules collapse in the year 1453 of the Silver Age? "

The compound eyes of [Mothman] rarely revealed a trace of worship for the existence other than his own main god.

"It was the Excellency whose name cannot be mentioned who led all this!

Since the war between the Church States and the Star-Moon Empire was completely defeated in 1453 and the Holy City was lost, the Church passively ended its thousand-year rule of darkness.

In the same year, the Hundred Years' War between the Kingdom of Hattings and the Kingdom of Iris ended.

But what others did not see was that before that, Henry V, the Hammer of Iris, who almost unified the two powers to establish an empire, died young at the age of 35, and Constantine XI, who was stationed in the Holy City, died tragically on the battlefield.

The defeated Holy Silver Empire also fell into long-term internal and external troubles. Apart from the Rhine Alliance, a city business alliance, it had almost no energy to take care of overseas development.

Until the religious war began last year, not only was the Holy Silver Empire fragmented, but it was also once again involved in the two strongest hegemons on the east and west coasts, Castile and the Star-Moon Empire.

Who would think that all this was a coincidence?

The [Silver Law] is accelerating its weakening, but that Excellency believes that the weakening speed is not fast enough and there are too many variables.

This This is the fundamental reason why we are standing here!

The [Oak Sage] of your Druid sect, the [Mothman] of our Worm Temple, the [Demon] of Pure Evil, and the [Loa God] of Voodoo.

The [Nightmare] and [Son of the Abyss] of the Deep Dive Church, as well as the [Sea Heir] and [Chaos Beast Group] of the Blood Beast Lair, which are the main forces, are driving the beast tide in waves.

Now our task is to seize the time and quietly invade the collective subconscious of the countries around the North Sea.

Relying on the interference of our related sects in the divine domains of the old gods thousands of years ago, and cooperating with the Excellency whose name cannot be mentioned, we will implement the "Dragon King Court Collapse Plan".

Do this step first, and then wait for the next order. The fifth-level subordinate gods of each family will also be eliminated in the next few months.

If you want to ask me what the final plan is and who the target is, I don’t know.

But it can’t be just a small person like the king of a human country. I just hope that you can restrain yourself and don’t capsize. "

The conversation ended here.

The [Mothman] exploded on the spot, turning into a pile of common moths commonly seen in the forest and disappearing without a trace.

It was obvious that he just projected his consciousness over and formed a clone, and his real body was not in Hastings at all.

Hearing this, Byron also realized that it would be useless to take down these [Oak Sages] now, even the [Mothman] who was a messenger.

The leader of the plan was obviously cautious enough.

Each sect was only responsible for its own part, and then pieced it together in the end, so that even if he caught a flaw, he could not see the full picture of the "Dragon King's Court Collapse Plan".

"Moreover, the reason why my grandfather [Iris Hammer] Henry V died young and did not complete the great cause of unifying the two countries was because he was plotted against?

Who is the person whose name cannot be mentioned?

Although my mother and Salant need to abide by the precepts of the East Continent, they can at least reveal some valuable information.

But in the mouths of these people, even a name cannot be mentioned, and it is impossible to guess who that person is."

Byron's face was a little heavy.

Someone is trying to stop the birth of the empire and is willing to kill key figures. His plan to reunify the North Sea Empire may have been spotted by someone with ulterior motives.

Then.

In the logbook, the solution density of [Secret: The fuse of the religious war, historical influence 65] jumped from 58% to 72%.

Obviously, as he worried before, in addition to the differences in Protestant and Orthodox ideas and the [Noah's Ark] escape plan, there is indeed a hand that has never been seen in history quietly influencing everything.

[Secret: Prophecy, Kingship and the Prophecy of the Racial Revival of the Wild Hunting God Woden, Historical Influence 69] The solution density jumped from 61% to 65%.

At the end, a new [Secret: The Collapse Plan of the Dragon King's Court, Historical Influence 66, Solution Density 27%] appeared.

Although Byron did not hear the complete information, he at least knew a little bit through this level of historical influence.

The cult group probably didn't come for him, or rather it wasn't just for him, it was obviously a goal with higher value.

As long as he is not the tallest, there should be room for fishing in troubled waters.

“They couldn’t have come at a worse time, the campaign to win the Kalmar League crown has just begun.

If they had the crown of the Beihai Empire in their hands, how could they be given the opportunity to defeat them one by one? I will take the initiative now and drag them out like wild dogs and beat them to death. "

At this time, [Strange·Wrath of Nature] with the head of a human and the body of a deer was also riddled with holes by countless whale oil bullets, and his head was chopped off with an ax by the powerful Marquis Neville who communicated with the law.

Rumble.

More oak trees grew crazily from its corpse, turning into a huge oak forest.

A few more soldiers were caught in it before they could dodge, and in the blink of an eye they became part of the forest.

At the same time, countless green light spots floated out from the acorns, drifting far away in the wind like fireflies, disappearing into trees, rocks, rivers, and other natural things.

Several [Oak Sages] also saw the situation over there, but they just said coldly:

"One [Nature's Wrath] is just the beginning of transforming this land. Soon more natural spirits will be born from here, leaving humans exhausted.

Nature is divided into classes. The taller trees can enjoy better sunlight, while the greatest value of lowly weeds is that they become nutrients for the trees after decaying.

Only by following the principle of the weak eating the strong will nature prosper.

The weak deserve to be bullied and trampled upon by the strong.

This is the way of nature!

The same is true for human beings. The lower levels only need to obey the orders of the upper levels and contribute a small amount of strength. Only in this way can the upper levels become stronger and the world will be stable.

And our Druid Church is the crown of all trees. "

When Byron heard this, he laughed in his heart:

"No one can always be aloof. The growth and decline of all things are also natural laws.

The remnants of the old era that have been eliminated should not imitate the speeches of other victors here.

When one day you become a low-level weed and are stepped on by others, I hope you can still remember what you said and rot away obediently to contribute your own value. "

He made a decision in his mind to temporarily monitor them, and it would not be too late to deal with them after following the clues and getting the key information.

After the Kingdom's reinforcements cleaned up the mess, they lined up neatly to lay flowers and observe silence for the victims of the accident.

Then

[Wild Hunt Servants] Herman commanded the Wild Hunt Legion to pull the victims out of the tree who had just been eaten and had not had time to be assimilated by the oak tree.

Although they certainly can't stay in the material world anymore, the United Drug Company opened by cousin Edward on the edge of the world can be seamlessly connected.

By the time Byron drove the raven back here, the personnel staff of United Pharmaceuticals were handling the on-site onboarding procedures for them.

The money that has not been spent during your lifetime will be recognized by the people below, and you can continue to spend it when you get there.

Real estate in the human world can also be exchanged for yin and yang through the kingdom's welfare system, so you have a worry-free journey.

It's quite humane.

Byron did not show up, but quietly used the [Hades Authority] to mark the natural spirits spawned by the Oak Sage one by one.

Other people's laws have no authority over "the earth," but He does!

Incorporate them into the Golden Law, use them to enrich the supervision network, and establish your own "Skynet" like an animist colony.

Not only can it be used to monitor foreign enemies, but it can also be used as a monitoring and supervision unit without any selfish motives to purify the ruling system at all times.

From this point of view, these [Oak Sages] are not useless.

In addition, before the steam battleship is launched, the heavy cruiser must continue to be built, which requires a continuous supply of high-quality oak.

Such a useful [Oak Sage] is simply the chosen slave.

"Kill my people, destroy my machines, and still want to dominate everyone?

Sooner or later, let you know what the 007 "blessing" of a conscientious entrepreneur is! "
