Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 280 A Happy Shot, First Blood
"Don't fight in close combat, shoot! They are no longer normal people, they have all become man-eating monsters."

"Stop them now. If the coral disease spreads, we'll all be doomed."

bang bang
The sporadic gunshots were soon drowned out by louder roars.

"Crazy, all crazy, don't eat me, ah——!"

"It's a mess."

The roaring sound was soon replaced by the gnawing sound.

The location of the coral disease outbreak is located in a military port that was specially developed by the naval fleet, far away from the main anchorage of Royal Port with the largest ship throughput.

There were originally more than a dozen warships stationed here, including the fourth-level ship [Support], as well as a privateering fleet allocated to "Bill".

Among them, a part of the ordinary navy who were not loved by their grandmothers or uncles were temporarily transferred to the [Sea Hunters] and were very "lucky" to escape the disaster.

The remaining [Support] and five or six ships that were directly under the Newman family's confidants suffered a great misfortune.

Especially because the port's defenses were empty tonight, they were all called out from pubs and entertainment venues and gathered in the port area to be on standby at all times.

Just after midnight, flowers suddenly bloomed in various barracks.

Many private soldiers of the Newman family, who were still thankful that they did not have to take risks at sea before going to bed, fell ill quietly.

When the human brain is completely occupied by barnacles, the most primitive instinct is activated - appetite!
Like a madman, he rushed out of the barracks and bit everyone he saw.

Even if the naval port is equipped with sufficient patrol personnel, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the multiple outbreaks at the beginning and the numerous Coral people who are completely out of control.

If you get coral disease, one person will infect two.

Then word spread from two to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the entire naval base camp of the Newman family became a slaughterhouse.

No soldier had the energy to care about what was happening inside the city.

But what is strange is that there is only coral disease here, but there is no trace of the octopus battleship [Maywind] at all.

The source of the multiple coral disease outbreaks is completely unknown.

However, there was a group of intelligence and assassination troops mainly composed of [Phantom Blades] who took advantage of the chaos to quietly slip out of the military port and escape unscathed.

After changing his clothes, he blended into the entertainment district, where it was hard to tell one from another among those drunkards who were staying up all night long.

None other than the Storm Cloaks, led by Guts!
In this first battle behind enemy lines, even when facing the nominal superior forces of the Vanguard Colonial Trading Company, they did not show any fear and attacked without mercy.

Now they have become qualified traitors who only know Byron and not the king.

At the same time, a group of old sea dogs who had been stationed in Royal Port for a long time and were most familiar with the situation, came with large and small bags and kicked open the doors of the Newman family's treasure houses, manors, and industries.

Start looting like crazy.

As the riots in the port broke out completely.

clang!clang!clang!
The lighthouse near the port also immediately sounded an urgent alarm, and the silver-white legal network enveloped the entire city.

A beam of light that was invisible to the naked eye shot straight into the sky, and with the help of the collective subconscious of all human beings, it automatically sent out a distress signal to other nearby colonies.

Lighthouses fueled by whale oil and spices are expensive to maintain, but they can save lives in critical moments.

This was also proven by Havana, the Kingdom of Castile, which was attacked by the Azk Empire.

As the royal colony of the Kingdom of Hastings, the Royal Port of Jamestown is certainly not home to only extraordinary people from the Newman family.

The island they were on was Arawak Island (Chapter 11000), which covers an area of ​​201 square kilometers and ranks fourth among all the eastern archipelagos after Yucatan Island.

Most of the colonies of the country's nobles, colonial companies, and free pioneers are on this island.

Naturally, there are a large number of extraordinary people at all levels. Although the number of middle-sequence people is small, they do exist.

The overall strength of the Kingdom of Hastings among the countries can also be roughly seen from the area of ​​its colonies.

If it is normal times, they all have the obligation to assist in defense. Those who are nearby or even in the city must provide immediate support, and those who are far away must also mobilize warships to go to sea.

It’s a pity that Jamestown Royal Port did not come at a good time.

"Is it coral disease? The port has been blocked for half a month, why would there be a sudden outbreak of coral disease?"

They heard clearly that what attacked Port Royal was a terrible coral disease that even the people of the Old World had no resistance to.

Even if a mid-sequence transcendent is accidentally infected, he may lose his life without knowing it.

What's more, there is a ship called the May Wind, which is elusive and no one knows where it is hiding.

They are not as "loyal" as the Sea Hunters, fools who allow themselves to be manipulated by the Newman brothers. How can other people's lives be as valuable as their own?

Even the most loyal transcendents to the kingdom would inevitably wonder in their hearts when faced with this situation:
“Since the coral people’s range of activities cannot exceed two kilometers, the coral disease outbreak in the port cannot infect me.

The kingdom only gives me a few pounds of extraordinary allowance a month, what am I doing with my life?"

This is the cleverness of using coral disease as a starting point for a plan to steal the home.

This is like a person walking on the road at night and encountering robbers. Instead of shouting to everyone involved in the cause, he said, "There's a fire, put it out!"

Instead, they foolishly shouted something that might be harmful to others: "Someone is killing someone, help! He's a wanted serial killer and he has a gun!"

It would be strange if anyone dared to come out to help.

As a result, whether inside the city, outside the city, or in other nearby port cities, most of the extraordinary people who were capable of getting involved kept their doors closed.

Even if some people are forced to take action due to legal constraints, they will procrastinate, hoping to delay until the unrest is over so that they don't have to take any more risks and risk their lives.

These slow-moving reinforcements were unaware that Byron’s order was actually: “End the battle in ten minutes!”

The combatants in each unit under his command have their own division of labor.

While the poisoning and robbery teams were working, four third-level warriors, [Unbreakable Fortress] Sam Leopold, [Eye-catching] Beretania, [Skeleton Knight] Andrew Lancaster, and [Witch] Violet, also went out together.

Two brothers who were the pillars of the Newman family each committed suicide.

In a seaside manor.

Boom!

The door of a room was splintering. Governor Newman heard the alarm and rushed out wearing only his pajamas, sword in hand.

In the bedroom behind him, one can see a beautiful lady lying on an exquisite bed with carved and inlaid ivory. She is covering her body with a quilt while exclaiming, but it still cannot hide her large area of ​​white and smooth skin.

It was clear what the Governor was doing just now.

Continuation of offspring is the top priority in any family.

Although we lost an excellent son, it is not completely impossible to make up for it.

Jefferson Newman was only fifty years old and could still have children.

After sending Byron away, he suppressed his grief and, despite his busy schedule, recruited a young and beautiful lover to work hard for him, hoping to continue to expand the Newman family.

He took the potion provided by his collaborator, the Bloodthirsty Cult, and had been fighting until now, only rushing out of the bedroom when the alarm sounded.

Looking at the naval port with flames rising to the sky, he immediately raised the Governor's seal ring in his hand and responded to the lighthouse at the port, instantly ushering in the arrival of the [Iron Law of Royal Power - Magna Carta].

Drinking in the mouth:

"As Governor of Port Royal, I hereby order:
All attackers in the city are prisoners, activate [Force Field Shackles], [Fatigue Aura], [Confinement Maze]!" He had just finished speaking.

A bright sword light as fast as lightning came down towards him.

Fortunately, Jefferson has turned the entire city into a large prison under his supervision, and his abilities as a [Warden] have been greatly enhanced in all aspects.

He lunged forward and narrowly avoided the sword.

There was another sound of wind at his side, and a white-haired figure like a wild bull, holding a steel kite-shaped shield with a round end and a pointed end, charged at him violently.

Unable to avoid it, a layer of translucent [Thorn Armor] covered with iron nails that could rebound attacks appeared on his body. He held the sword with both hands, lowered his center of gravity to form a stable triangle, and forcibly took the blow.

Boom!

It was like two rhinos colliding with each other. The stone slabs under their feet suddenly exploded and dust flew everywhere.

The air ring spread, causing the flowers and plants to fall down.

Only then did he finally see who was coming. His pupils contracted violently and he screamed in disbelief:

“Sam, Beretania, why is it you remnants?!
Aren't you waiting to die on Gonave Island? Why are you in Port Royal?"

The scene that was happening right before his eyes was too hard for him to accept.

I was just dreaming about using Sea Hunter to wipe out the remaining Lancaster troops, but the next moment these guys came straight to my door.

Especially tonight, when the defenses in Port Royal were unprecedentedly weak, how could this happen to be such a coincidence?
But, I was the one who gave the order for the fleet to leave the port!

Not only that, there are many more coincidences.

“Also, how did you rebels find me?

I have the Iron Law of Kingship, which can block prophecies below the high sequence. No one knows where I stay every night except my confidants.

And why are you immune to the negative effects of the prison?"

Theoretically, if the French Open is combined with the professional ability of the [Warden], this city can immediately become his unique home ground, where he can toy with small groups of enemies.

However, although the two Lancaster Party members in front of him had extraordinary auras representing the effectiveness of negative states, the effects were obviously minimal.

It couldn't even disorient them.

Beretania looked at the mortal enemy who had relied on the power of the law to seize Port Royal from him, and smiled coldly:
"Haha, guess what."

He switched to "Breath of the Wind" in his mouth, and Old Sam and he pounced on him again from the left and right.

Entry【Outlaw】:
"Criminal groups are the ultimate form of lawless criminals.

As a guiding light for the outlaws, you understand the law and can use the [Pirate Ten Commandments] to protect your crew.

Your team will no longer be your weak spot when facing the Hastings Lawmage. "

When faced with the iron law of the royal power of the Kingdom of Hastings, the outlaws under Byron's command directly launched a special attack.

At least 70% immune to the effects of law attacks.

This was the first counterattack by the Lancastrians against the Yorkists, and also the first time Byron shined after gaining this ability.

The "outlaws" who have gained powerful abilities firmly believe that this will definitely not be the last time.

clang!clang!clang!
Sparks flew, dust rose, and the three third-level warriors fought fiercely. The sound of weapons colliding like iron forging could be heard for miles in the night.

The Governor's Guards stationed in the manor heard the noise and wanted to rush to support, but they ran into a fearless and fearless group of Deathwing who were determined to fight to the death.

Isolated and helpless, Jefferson's heart sank little by little.

He clearly had the support of the law and had an absolute home advantage, but now he was shocked to find that he seemed to be thrown into the wilderness where the power was the weakest.

After just a few rounds, I felt more and more frightened and timid.

Soon his body was covered with wounds, his spiritual energy was greatly depleted, and death had never been so close to him.

But Jefferson Newman earned his current title and became a great nobleman through hard work.

He is not an incompetent fool, but a veteran of many battles.

The crisis also aroused their ferocity.

With eyes wide open, he shouted angrily:
"I don't believe that your immunity has no limit. Even if I have to sacrifice my own life, I will drag someone down with me. Come on!!!"

As soon as he thought about it, he would activate his most powerful ability [Liberate Prisoners], open the cage in his body, and release the most ferocious beast in a warden's body - his true self.

But at this moment, a heavenly voice suddenly rang in his ears:

"Governor, I'm here to save you.

Rebel, take my shot!"

Looking up, I saw Byron, who had returned from a trip, running between the buildings on the roof of a building in the manor in the distance, his eyes suddenly filled with joy at having survived a disaster:
"My loyal [Sea Hunter] has returned? I am saved."

True friendship is revealed in times of adversity. I couldn't help but burst into tears.

He had no time to think deeply about why the Sea Hunter, who had been leading a large group of people for several hours, came back so quickly.

The appearance of reinforcements rekindled his hope of survival, and the desperate spirit of a trapped beast disappeared in an instant.

The tactics also changed from the goal of dying together with the enemy to the very conservative goal of preserving oneself.

However, he did not notice that the two people in the battle were not only not panicking, but instead intensified their attacks, especially restricting all possible blocking movements of the long sword in his hand.

next moment.

Stab it--!
A flash of blue lightning streaked across the night sky and flashed in front of the three people, whose hair suddenly stood on end.

[Guaranteed Gun Gungnir] dropped from the sky, then instantly turned into light and disappeared, landing back in Byron's hands.

Only the Governor slowly lowered his head, looking at the huge bloody hole in his chest that was pierced from front to back. He was so angry that blood spurted out of his mouth, and he used up his last bit of strength to scold:
"Uh, wrong. Wrong, idiot.

You, you can't throw the gun accurately! "

Then, he fell to the ground with a plop.

The way of death was exactly the same as that of the maid he had just beaten to death.

The [Armor of Thorns] from the Iron Law of Kingship on his body did not have any blocking effect on Gungnir.

As his spirit left his body and was about to fall into the last days of the Wild Hunt, his self-consciousness, which had already begun to dissipate, heard in a trance:
“We cannot make the same mistake the enemy made twice.

Tonight, the Newman family will kill everyone, men and women, biological sons and illegitimate sons, and absolutely not let any escape. "

"I understand, Your Highness. You are so thoughtful in your work, so why should you worry about not being able to accomplish your great cause?

I am truly delighted.

I have already instructed the Knights to make sure that even the eggs are shaken to remove the yolk, and that earthworms and the like are all split in half vertically."

Jefferson's spirit was shaken, and he wailed:
"Lancaster, you are so vicious! Wait, Your Highness which Your Highness?"

He wanted to question again, but his consciousness had completely dissipated and he was instantly pulled into Byron's shadow.
