Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 483 Witch promotion, mass-energy equation (6200)!
The Marines on the USS Niucheng had been feeling very frustrated for the entire day as the series of battles had not given them a good opportunity to display their skills.

At this moment, after receiving the order from Commander [Beast Killer] Wycliffe to board the ship, they had already lined up on the deck with guns in high spirits.

He raised his flintlock in his hand, confidently preparing to launch a concentrated fire on the people of Hattings.

They want to let these country bumpkins from the Kingdom of Hattings, whose ancestors are all pirates, see what an invincible marine musketeer corps is!

The Castilians clearly have reason to be proud.

It takes a total of 12 steps to fire a flintlock musket. When an ordinary musketeer fights with a flintlock musket, the firing rate is only about 2 rounds per minute, and only the elite can fire 3 rounds per minute.

But every member of their Treasure Fleet can fire three or even four rounds.

If a country or force does not have enough guns, gunpowder and money, it will not be able to train such an elite army.

In addition, the time for boarding combat is extremely tight. After one or two rounds of musket fire, it will turn into hand-to-hand combat.

The [Castilian Saber Technique] that they practiced hard is also a well-known hand-to-hand combat method in various countries, and is more sophisticated than the pirates' [Fischer Sword Technique].

These two factors were precisely the basis for the Kingdom of Castile to dominate the Age of Exploration.

They believed that this time would be the same, and they would use these two magic weapons to let these people of Hastings know what cruelty meant!
The only doubt was that they had never had to look up to see their enemies like they did today.

This might still be the familiar sea siege war, but the attackers became themselves, which made these Castilian soldiers feel very uncomfortable.

Especially when the small cruiser in front of him suddenly turned into a third-level battleship, even more like a giant than the "Niucheng".

The extraordinary ability [Gigantophobia] that was activated in advance immediately turned into a boomerang and hit them hard on the head.

Even though they were protected by the home field effect of the holy relic [First Galleon], they were all frightened and turned pale.

Then he saw a bunch of gun barrels that looked different from the flintlock rifles in his hands pointing down at him.

"court death!"

"Fire!"

Frightened and furious, the Castilian Marines paid no attention to timing or the fact that their enemy had not yet fully revealed itself.

Immediately opened fire on the huge third-level battleship on the opposite side.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
A cloud of smoke rose up, and none of the crew members on the opposite ship [Golden Deer] fell down, although their faces were too pale.

There were even people who dug out the lead bullets embedded in their sternums and threw them on the ground without batting an eyelid, without even a drop of blood flowing from the wounds.

The Golden Deer now has a crew of 450 people, with about half of them being sailors and half being marines.

All of them are Byron’s most elite [Deathwing], all-rounders carefully selected through the "721 Captain Fission Mode".

In naval battles it is the navy, in land battles it is the army.

In order to protect these precious treasures, which were worth several each, Byron spent half of the 882 Azik Cursed Gold Coins he had on them.

They also form the heroic guards with the strongest resistance to physical damage from swords and guns!
Even if you stand there arrogantly and shout, "I let you fire three shots first," it will not affect the battle situation.

On the contrary, it has its own mental damage, and the enemy will collapse before you even use any strength.

The boatswain [the honest man] shouted loudly:
"Fight back, rapid fire!"

Before the Castilian who had just fired a shot could finish reloading, the sound of gunfire rang out on the boat.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
Don't compare the accuracy created by the rifling and tapered bullets in bolt-action rifles.

Just considering the firing rate, as long as the team members' hand speed is fast enough, they can easily fire forty rounds in a minute, which is almost twenty times that of a flintlock rifle.

Just three or five guns were enough to create a barrage of bullets, and hundreds of bolt-action rifles firing together immediately created the astonishing momentum of a large army of thousands of people concentrated their fire.

"what!"

"What an accurate gun!"

Many people were hit in the chest and fell to the ground with their heads tilted.

After a round of gunfire, a large number of the "invincible" Castilian Marines were knocked down in an instant.

Only then did they realize that it might not have been a good idea for them to shoot at the Golden Deer, but there was no time to regret it.

Weapons and supernatural powers are equivalent to a lever, which allows mortals to use their own tiny strength to leverage stronger energy and greatly expand their combat effectiveness.

The evolution of weapons is to continuously lengthen this lever, using smaller force to pry stronger external force.

The introduction of bolt-action rifles has obviously increased the importance of mortal soldiers. In the blink of an eye, they are no longer cannon fodder musketeers in the traditional sense of "lined up and shot", but a group of modern soldiers.

The combat effectiveness may not be as exaggerated as a twenty-fold increase in firing rate, but doubling it several times, from 1 to 5 is definitely not a problem.

In the face of such an army in the future, the myth of the fifth-order legendary thousand-man enemy of the [Ladder of Glory] sequence will undoubtedly continue to shrink. The last time it shrunk was because of the invention of various thermal weapons.

Then, snap! snap! .
[Deathwing] There is no need to learn the Castilian spirit of craftsmanship to do one thing to the extreme. Everyone works hard to compress the 12 steps of loading to the extreme. Just keep pulling the bolt, shooting, pulling the bolt, shooting.
It is not like a flintlock rifle, which would switch to hand-to-hand combat after only two or three volleys.

The bolt-action rifle uses a magazine to replace bullets, and five bullets can be replaced at a time, which is convenient and quick.

After installing the bayonet, they could attack from a distance or in close combat, and instantly knocked the proud Castilians to the ground.

At the same time, Byron raised his hand and snapped his fingers, activating the power of Crystal Skull No. 4 [Rain God] Chuck.

Wow.
The storm that had been brewing above the battlefield for a long time finally came pouring down.

The heavy rain instantly soaked the gunpowder in the powder pools of the Castilians' flintlock rifles, turning their rifles into fire sticks.

But the bolt-action rifle that uses whale oil copper-cased fixed ammunition is not afraid of heavy rain at all.

Except for being expensive, all of them are advantages.

At this moment, not only the boarding battlefield between the Golden Deer and the Niucheng, but also the situation of the two fleets that were still fighting fiercely changed drastically.

After firing dozens of rounds of shotgun and chain bullets to kill the enemy's manpower to the maximum extent, the Seventh Fleet also took out its bolt-action rifles and launched a boarding battle.

"Boarding, boarding, kill, kill, kill!"

"Give us all the money."

Everyone's eyes were red, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the Castilians collapsed at the first touch.

Just as Byron said.

Relying on "linear tactics", they were invincible in naval battles of this era.

Relying on the "bolt-action rifle", they have become invincible in boarding battles and land battles, not because of their well-trained training, but simply because of technological iteration.

What would it be like if we changed our perspective to that of the Castilians?
A swordsman spent ten years honing his sword skills, and by the time he had mastered them he was invincible. However, after coming down the mountain he discovered that his spear was both fast and accurate within seven steps.

Moreover, due to overproduction, the price of muskets was driven down to a very low level. Even children had special models with pink bows tied on them.

It's like a thief who trained hard in winter and summer, and finally mastered the unparalleled skill of picking up money from an oil pan with two fingers, and finally became a master thief.

When I was about to go out to try my hand at cash, I was shocked to find that even grandmas don’t carry cash these days?!

It is not the police but mobile payment that eliminates thieves.

What defeated them was not their peers, but the differences in the times.

This is probably the frustration of version updates.

At the same time, the soldiers on the privateering ships of the Seventh Fleet were still shouting:
"Money belongs to the king and the rich, but life belongs to yourself. You only earn a few dozen pounds a year at most, so why would you want to play with your life?"

"Drop your weapons, kneel down and don't kill me!"

Although it did not make the proud Castilians completely give up resistance, their morale plummeted.

Every time the Seventh Fleet successfully captured a large Galen, Byron's fourth-level promotion ceremony would be upgraded by one level.

Every time a shipload of treasure worth millions came in, Catherine's wealth soared, and the dragon's might grew stronger.

They both broke through to the fourth level and entered the final countdown.

Even though the fleet commander [Beast Killer] Wycliffe and his sister [Navigator] Catalina, after being shocked, roared and rushed towards Byron, it was already difficult to reverse the defeat of the main fleet.

Catherine, the Mithril Dragon, who was standing at the back, also skillfully launched a custom decree equivalent to that of a fourth-order law mage on this warship, which was equivalent to her own core territory.

At the beginning, she obtained the core ability of the [Social Clock] assassin [Law] (Chapter 324), and she was more skilled in using the law than Byron.

At this moment, the puppet string that had been tied to the bow of the Niucheng suddenly trembled.

Catherine was slightly stunned, and then continued to utter the next words:
"Decree: In the territory of the Golden Deer, all Castilians will have their five senses weakened and their reactions slowed, like puppets."

Although she was somewhat puzzled as to why she subconsciously added an extra sentence after the decree, the two fourth-level opponents had already attacked her, and she had no time to think too much.

Only Byron, who could clearly see the silk threads, was shocked and realized that the [Puppet King] Louis, who was watching the battle at the moment, finally began to intervene in the battle.

On the other side, when the most intensive gunfire ever heard in the world suddenly rang out.

The battle between the Black Sail Harbor Treasure Hunting Alliance and the vanguard and defenders has also reached a fever pitch.

The pirates' treasure-hunting coalition did not have advanced weapons like bolt-action rifles, but they had sufficient manpower and more fourth-level extraordinary people than the treasure fleet.

Although the pirate warlord [Shit Eater] on the [Church of Misery] is a beast tamer by profession, he is best at "herding humans" due to the special effects of his title.

He opened his hands and gave a passionate speech to the nearby Castilian soldiers, while madly pouring out the pollution he had eaten in advance:
“Success is not a destination, but a process. In this process, you need to constantly learn from wise people to achieve your own growth.

Now you are only one step away from success, and that is to follow me!

Understand the applause. "Pa! Pa! Pa!
Led by his original fanatics, as if by memetic contamination, all the surrounding soldiers followed them in applauding.

Then he turned his sword with a fanatical look and aimed it at his allies.

Even the nearby Castilian warships began to actively attack the giant sea monster, the oarfish, summoned by [Giant Beast Buster] Wycliffe.

Not only did it release dragon dung potion over a large area, it also used its own ship to block its attack route, acting as a meat shield for the pirates.

As a member of the kingdom's regular army, even if Fleet Commander Wycliffe was bold, he could not massacre his own people in public.

Although the sea monster had the power to easily cut off a warship, it was inevitably restrained and was temporarily blocked outside the core battlefield.

The other two pirate commanders intensified their siege on the fleet's deputy commander, the Bullfighter Rodrick.

Among them, [Captain Goat] Alex is more like an orthodox fourth-level pirate commander.

All of his strange-looking sons were now transformed into goat men with golden wool, forming his heroic guards.

These human-sheep hybrids, who have rubbed the rule in Byron's "The Pirate Ten Commandments" that "the only use of sheep is to be eaten" to the ground, are far superior to ordinary people in terms of strength and speed. Some of the best ones even possess various magical abilities.

With a strange cry of "Baa, Baa, Baa", they rushed onto the enemy's ship.

Some spewed flames, some spit out sulfuric acid, and some turned their opponents into sheep with a wave of their hands.
What is unknown to outsiders is that after Captain Goat puts on the "Golden Fleece", he can not only remain forever young.

The more goat-headed men he gives birth to, the stronger his power will be, and the more black magic he will master.

Just like the Bloodthirsty Cult that constantly held blood sacrifice ceremonies in order to complete the Scarlet Holy Grail, through the method of "reproduction", they pieced together the corresponding [Bloodline Codex] bit by bit.

So that he can gradually be promoted to become a fourth-order mythical creature [demon]!
If this ability can be considered a plug-in, then the most appropriate name is probably "the system of having many children and many blessings."

It is somewhat similar to the totem gods on the southern continent.

The most powerful contraceptive technique that can restrain them should be the rubber relic [Happy and Worry-Free]!

The source of this forbidden knowledge is the old god, one of the seven deadly sins [Asmodeus, the Sheep of Lust], also known as the Prince of Lust.

Another very famous evil god.

However, among the three pirate commanders, the one with the strongest frontal combat power and the main force of the attack is the female commander [Candy Witch] Ivanka.

Gummy bears poured out from the cabin of the Candy House like a tide and all gathered into Ivanka's body, allowing her to gradually grow into a huge gummy giant.

This time she finally displayed her true melee combat abilities.

call out!call out!call out!
His whole body was full of elasticity, and he leaped between several warships like a bouncy ball, completely unafraid of any blunt force attacks.

"Hey, [Gummy Fat Bear Form], take my punch!"

Ivanka's fist suddenly contracted, and the amazing elastic potential energy turned into surging kinetic energy. She carried a huge fist with a foul level and smashed down like a battering ram.

Circles of air explosion rings appeared on the tip of the fist, emitting a piercing whistling sound that made people turn pale with fear.

The fourth-order mythical creatures, who owe their great power to themselves, are clearly far superior to the traditional Ladder of Glory sequence in terms of individual strength, and are no longer an existence that can be resisted by human power.

But the deputy commander [Matador] Rodrick, who only held a slender and swift sword in his hand, was not flattened by her punch.

Instead, he wielded the thin and swift sword and with perfect skill and strength, he pushed the giant gummy fist aside.

Boom!

The entire battleship was shaken violently, but Roderick himself was unharmed.

This is the special effect of the title [Matador], which allows him to use his own minimal strength to attract the enemy to launch violent attacks that are several times or even dozens of times greater than his own.

It can also be understood as an extraordinary version of "four pounds moving ten tons".

Defend and counterattack at the same time.

This deputy commander, like the Conqueror Cortes during his lifetime, was also a Sword Castle Knight of the Fortress Sequence.

He also wore a blood-red sword-shaped badge on his chest - the Order of the Thirteen Knights of the "Knights of the Sword Castle" of the Kingdom of Castile.

Carefully crafted by craftsmen, the medals of various knightly orders symbolize glory and power and are also part of the [Title] system.

The famous Grand Cross Medal, the Order of the Golden Fleece Medal, the Order of the Garter Medal, etc. all belong to this category.

The effect of the [Order of the Thirteen Knights] is that it can draw on the power of the legion out of thin air, replace the knight's squire, and avoid the inconvenience of carrying bodyguards with you.

At the same time, [Matador] also activated the fourth-level dragon taming technique of the knight profession. The "dragon" he tamed was the warship and all the crew members under his command.

"breathe-"

The breathing pattern changed quietly, and a circle of blood-red halo suddenly exploded, instantly connecting every Castilian soldier on the warship, condensing them into an indestructible whole.

With the dual bonus of medals and guards, [Matador] Roderick's momentum surged.

A surging spiritual glow emerged, lingering around his mouth and nose, and even the edge of the sword in his hand was dyed a dazzling blood red.

Finally, a red bull as big as a hill appeared above the top of the battleship.

"Moo-!"

The bull roared and, with the force of an entire battleship, slammed heavily into the body of the gummy giant [Candy Witch].

He even borrowed the power she used to fight against himself and used it to attack Captain Goat on the other side, which was like "borrowing someone's force to attack them, and hitting a bull from across the mountain."

Obviously, although this deputy commander has not yet reached the spiritual realm of [Divine Vision], in terms of pure control of power, he is no less than Byron.

Just when the intensity of the battle and the concentration of disaster in this naval battle reached its peak, like a pot of boiling hot oil.

Zheng——!
All kinds of swords, guns and cannons across the battlefield suddenly emitted violent metallic vibrations.

Various marine creatures and monsters in the sea also convey their joyful emotions through sounds, pheromones, mind fluctuations or other means.

The next moment, Violet, who was providing long-range support to Byron and the thief baron Valerian on the Flaming Rose, was emitting a deep blue spiritual glow from the inside out.

The petite body naturally rose from the ground.

The long silver hair seemed to ripple in the water, turning into a pool of clear moonlight.

Her already crystal white skin now glows as white as snow, revealing a flawless jade color.

A series of phantoms of aquatic monsters rushed out of the sea, circling behind Violet and rushing into her body one after another.

The spiritual light exploded, and even a big hole appeared in the dark clouds with heavy rain above her head, allowing the sunlight to shine on her.

Among the family of three, it was this Taiwanese princess who was the first to complete the promotion.

In addition to the fourth-level [Craftsman], she transformed into the fourth-level [War Witch], achieving a complete sublimation of the essence of life.

As the messenger of Leviathan, the War Witch can transform into any powerful aquatic creature, even an aquatic monster, at will.

Originally, she only had three forms: whale girl, tentacle girl, and night demon girl. But now she can transform into any kind of monster at will and gain the other party's innate abilities.

Of course, this ability is also useful to Byron.

While other couples can only unlock various "knowledge" at most, he can not only enjoy the "one-stop service" but also experience the full set of "Sea King" package - aquatic biosphere massage.

The witch can also cast various [disaster spells] at will.

The more disasters you create, or the more turbulent the surrounding environment is, the stronger the disaster curse and the war witch will be.

Not only that, the unique ability of [Leviathan, the Rift Whale] is to control the cracks in the world to a certain extent, which can be expanded or bridged.

From now on, Violet, who has mastered both the [Craftsman] and [War Witch] routes, is qualified to play the role of "World Repairman" and start repairing this big ship called "Material World".

At least the world cracks in Yucatan Island, their own territory, can be gradually bridged, freeing up a large amount of manpower and mental power to suppress the cracks.

While maintaining the world, Violet can also receive gifts from the collective subconscious of mankind, and her promotion speed is definitely faster than that of the Lantern Man.

"War Witch!"

"War Witch!"

"."

Led by the old crew members on the [Flaming Rose], the Bay Pirates cheered that their princess had finally taken the most crucial step and hoped to reproduce some of the glory of the pirate king [Whale Hunter].

"Huh? I got a title too."

Byron's [Divine Vision] took the time to glance at his queen and found that there was a surprise.

Violet’s legendary status was already high enough.

However, right after graduating from the Vienna Academy of Arts, he had no choice but to return to inherit the family business in Anchor Bay, and did not make any famous name for himself.

Now that the legend level, deeds, and titles are combined, the legend level of [War Witch] Violet Harold has immediately exceeded the 20-point mark!
By the way, the title [Gunpowder Artist] that was disguised at the beginning was also included, and an exclusive title special effect was born - [Art is Explosion]:
“It can transform any substance in the world into gunpowder, and its power depends on the characteristics of the raw materials.

Of course, as a genuine Leviathan whale girl, her flesh, blood, and body fluids are one of the most powerful explosive materials in the world."

In Byron’s opinion, as Violet’s legendary status continues to increase, this ability will continue to improve, and the end point may be: the mass-energy equation E=mc!

This will undoubtedly be one of the most artistic and explosive "Immortal Stairs" in the world.

There is hope that this ability can be used to give the traditional priests of the church a favorite "little boy", and it will be a luxurious custom-made one with a core temperature of 6000 degrees Celsius.

At that time, the ultimate move [Song of Blood and Fire] launched by the two of them together was worthy of the words: "The glory of the people of Beidiwan will one day be reawakened by blood and flames!"
