Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 555: High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods

The newly reborn North Sea Empire deployed its defenses on all fronts, but the atmosphere in the Old God Church coalition opposite was quite relaxed.

The Blood Beast Lair Church, which is affiliated with [Echidna, the Mother of Monsters], is extremely powerful.

The legendary biological battleship [Flying Beastman], which looked like a giant sea monster, swung its tentacles and flagella at the tail and quietly separated from [Noah's Ark] that had attracted the attention of all the high-level officials on the continent.

One of them led the high-sequence extraordinary people who had not yet received, and would never receive, intelligence feedback from the vanguard to the depths of the Sea of ​​Monsters, preparing to start a feast.

One merged with the fourth beast tide, which had been quietly accumulating for more than half a month and was unprecedented in scale compared to the previous three times, with the number almost as much as the total of the previous ones, as well as the mythical creature [Haisi] under its command, and then marched towards the North Sea in a mighty manner.

"Ouch."

"嘤嘤嘤"

At this moment, even at the end of the vision, the underwater was occupied by countless huge black shadows, roars were endless, and the pungent fishy smell made people want to vomit.

The archbishops of various religious branches, that is, the fifth-order pseudo-gods in charge, were also invited to board this alternative legendary warship, and sat down around a round table on the deck composed of bone and chitin structures.

In stark contrast to normal gods like Byron who adhere to the way of balance and only use forbidden knowledge as a tool, their divine aura exudes an indelible dirty hue from the inside out.

This symbolizes that they have completely converted to the drowned old gods, fallen from the middle position where human nature originally existed, succumbed to animal nature, and are no longer human from body to soul.

The false god [Chaos Beasts] raised his wine glass and welcomed him with his unique voice that was neither male nor female, neither human nor beast:

"Everyone, although there was a small accident in the former site of the North Sea Empire across the way, the fruits of victory have matured, and the day of harvest is today.

The Lord Gods are destined to return soon, cheers! "

The morale of the gods was high, and no one doubted that the outcome of this battle would go wrong.

It was only two months ago that the Abaddon Cult, which had returned empty-handed, tried to test their strength. Not to mention two months, even two years would be just a blink of an eye for the immortal gods.

According to the strength of the Lancaster Dynasty at that time, they were doomed to die!

Undercover [Abyss Nightmare] Dagon toasted with everyone on the surface, but secretly he was sizing everyone up with cold eyes.

The churches of the old gods usually do not get along with each other. Even Dagon has never seen so many fifth-order false gods sitting together peacefully before.

Byron also saw first-hand information here from Dagon's perspective.

[Ship's Log] was effective wherever he could see, and with just one glance he could clearly see all the movements of the enemy headquarters.

"This. It's so dark!"

When he raised his eyes, he saw that sitting opposite him was a false god of the Black Iron Clan from the Eastern Continent.

She looked like a fat, dark lady, with only her teeth and the whites of her eyes being white, while the rest of her body was completely black.

Although she looks hard to describe, she is actually one of the leaders of the many oak sages of the Druid sect [Mother of Nature].

They took over the banner of extreme environmentalism from the original inhabitants of the Hastings Clover Island and also caused a lot of trouble in the Eastern Continent.

It can be seen that she is very satisfied with the biological warship under her feet, which does not even have a single artificial nail. She repeatedly praised the owner of the warship:

"Your Excellency Chaos Beasts, animal power is the best energy source in this world.

The slave era when cattle and horses were everywhere was also the best and most civilized era. Those who refuse to accept civilization should all turn into trees!

The King of the Wild Hunt, who started the whale oil revolution, is the number one enemy of nature."

The two twin sisters sitting next to the pure black fat lady [Mother Nature] are at the other extreme.

Compared to the former, they are particularly slender and petite, one is almost pure white from head to toe, and the other is pure black.

The broad scaly wings wrapped around their bodies like a cloak, leaving only two overly delicate little faces that looked like porcelain.

Although they look weak, they are actually the two leaders of the Mothmen of the Worm Temple, the White Moth Princess and the Black Moth Princess.

The white chin was raised and a straw-like mouthpart extended from the lower jaw, sucking the wine in the glass with "slurp".

It turns out that the facial features are all fake, they are the camouflage colors of the moth.

The combination of exquisiteness and curiosity in the painting style made Byron subconsciously look away.

The vanguards sent by the two churches went to the three countries of Hastings and Kalma respectively and laid the anchor chain of faith of the old gods. Byron had already come into contact with those mythical creatures in advance.

Next to him was a demon wearing a gentleman's suit, but with horns on his head, dark red in color, with scales all over his exposed parts, and donkey hooves on his feet. He exuded an indelible smell of sulfur.

This is the false god of pure evil, the Heart Flayer, who believes in one of the seven deadly sins, Lucifer, the Morning Star of Pride.

The area he is responsible for is the Iris Kingdom, which is also located on the coast of the North Sea.

Next came a figure who was also wearing a black suit and a top hat, but his true form was a pale skeleton without a single piece of flesh and blood.

He is the leader of the Voodoo Loa gods [Baron Saturday], and his power is obvious: death.

This sect believes in [Zombie Eel King Samedi]. When Byron helped the fourth prince [Hand of Fortune] Atahualpa seize the throne of the Sun Empire in the southern continent, they also supported the eldest prince.

The skeleton drank the scarlet wine, which flowed down his ribs and onto the ground, but he laughed without caring.

The area that [Baron Saturday] is responsible for is the Netherlands, an important industrial and commercial city.

The last one is the second fifth-level [Original Core] in the blood beast's nest besides the [Chaos Beast Group].

It looks like a complex of protists, aquatic plants and coelenterates, with a bunch of sticky limbs surrounding a luminous cell nucleus in the middle that looks like a human face.

Protists are the most primitive, simplest, and lowest-level single-celled organisms in the world. They are also the ancestors of most organisms and are naturally labeled as ancient.

I don’t know how many years such a being has lived.

Among all the false gods, [Chaos Beasts] and [Primordial Core] should be the strongest ones, and the title of leader is well deserved.

If Dagon, the Nightmare of the Abyss, is added to the list, the coalition will have a total of eight false gods, two legendary warships, hundreds of colonial warships, and a huge army of sea monsters.

There is also a mythical battleship with a power level of up to level six, and a [Touch of the Kraken] which is also of the sixth level and can serve as reinforcements at any time.

It can no longer be described simply as a strong army, but rather as using a sledgehammer to kill a fly!

[The person who cannot even be named] No one knows where he has hidden his true identity. He is simply a projection and his face is blurry, and only a pair of elegant gold-rimmed glasses can be vaguely seen.

He raised his glass gracefully:
"Everyone, the Luoyan Era is getting closer and closer, and the beautiful sound of the tides is playing the notes of the new era.

The religious wars I led were fought too slowly. If we want to expand the front and start the First World War in the Silver Continent, it will take at least several years or even more than ten years.

We cannot wait, and neither can the gods who are sinking into death and perdition outside the world.

This time, let’s put another crazy horse on the carriage of the Silver Continent.

Didn't they all want to get Noah's Ark so they could escape when the flood came?
Then send the Ark to them and let them kill each other in that small world that has been completely polluted by the [Mother of Monsters] and has become a hatching nest.

Eventually it became the nourishment for the return of the first old god, transforming the North Sea into the soup of life.

Death, blood and hatred will become the footnotes of this new era.

When a whale falls, all things come to life. The old gods will divide up the corpse of the enemy of the gods, the [Creator], and establish a new deep-sea civilization and world order on the collapsed church.

Six old god sects are facing off against a bloodline that continues the rule of [God of the Wild Hunt] Woden, and the advantage is mine! "

"Roar--!"

As the gods cheered, a large amount of food ingredients, most of which came from humans, were served: mermaid's tears, the fifth element, human-faced acorns, etc.

It is conceivable that once these clans who have converted to the old gods and the deep sea and no longer identify with their human identity win, how and with what attitude they will treat the "people" of the new era.

By then the whole world will become a huge human breeding farm.

Byron retracted his gaze and took a deep breath:

"One family against six families, this is a pot of half-cooked rice. But even if it is half-cooked rice, we have to bite the bullet and eat it!"

Rumble.
A storm caused by the gathering of sea monsters poured down, and purple-red electric snakes kept rolling in the dark clouds, stretching for hundreds of kilometers like tree branches.

When Byron and a group of high-sequence transcendents arrived at the front line, there was no trace of the [Noah's Ark] and the white fog.

There are only white lines left on the sea by fast cruise ships or adventure ships, pointing in the same direction from all directions.

Obviously, even though they knew that the Five Gulf Nations served as a barrier for the entire Silver Continent, no one was willing to join the defense line to help them.

My heart and eyes are filled with the Noah's Ark that can save my life.

Ever since Byron learned that "He who must not even be named" had taken action and proactively led "Noah's Ark" to the North Sea, he dispatched a commerce-breaking fleet along the coast.

However, the width of our own territorial waters is only 3 nautical miles (5.6km), and there is no legal basis to prohibit others from sailing through it.

However, after assessing the danger of the Ark, Byron didn't think he could take advantage, so he didn't even send an avatar to try his luck.

He just specifically reminded the Protestant leaders who shared his ideas, were not planning to take the escape route, and did not want [Noah's Ark] to destroy their unity.

He persuaded the other side to send back the paladin, the Duke of Prussia, the former Grand Master of the Knights of the Notre Dame [Holy Shield] Albrecht.

The other party also promised that if the defense situation became critical, they would serve as a reserve force and use their most proficient blitzkrieg tactics to attack the enemy flagship.

This is the only comfort I have gained among all the ambitious people and stupid teammates.

Byron once again set foot on the Faroe Islands, the most critical and weakest island chain in the first island chain.

This is the gateway to the North Sea and is also the key target of attack in the enemy's combat plan according to intelligence.

The crown of light on its head shone brightly, rising like a glorious sun.

With this as the core, the legal network of the five countries transformed and integrated by the [Golden Law] appeared in the air, and countless laws written in runes covered the entire cloudy sky.

Byron's command reverberates through the legal network:
"The Deep Sea Fleet, the Anti-Traffic Fleet, the Strait Fleet, the Ghost Fleet, the Pirate Fleet, and the Alliance Fleet all left port in advance, and commanders, captains, and coastal defense artillery positions at all levels were connected to the legal network.

The security fleet protected the merchant ships and fishing boats and retreated to the inland sea at the fastest speed. "

"The first island chain border maze is unfolding!

[Golden Law] superimposed, I declare in the name of the monarch and the protector of the whole territory that the territorial waters of the North Sea Empire are 12 nautical miles. "Buzz——!
After turning the North Sea into an inland sea, the maritime territory of the North Sea Empire expanded rapidly and was no longer limited to the narrow three nautical miles of the land border.

The first island chain consisting of the Channel Islands, the Faroe Islands and the Anchor Bay was truly connected into a whole at this moment.

The illusory chain connected the entire defense line of nearly 12 kilometers from north to south, and turned into a rolling white mist that extended outward for nautical miles.

Within this range, everything becomes the royal domain of Byron and Violet, which is transparent to the defenders and shielded to the enemy, and can maximize the effect of [Law].

"The main fleet will deploy a battle line, avoid the front of the beast tide, and wait for orders within the territorial waters."

Byron searched the five countries thoroughly, and with the heavy cruisers that he had spent the past month renovating, he was able to gather together several hundred main battleships, including nominal battleships and exotic adventure ships.

Under the leadership of the legendary battleship [Golden Deer], the legendary battleship skill [Fleet Assimilation] was activated.

The gun ports were opened and shells were loaded, creating an atmosphere of solemnity and murder in the territorial waters that were difficult for the outside world to see.

Except for Catherine, Hathaway, Salant, the king's right-hand men, and the top brass.

【Queen of War】Violet; 【Our Lady of Fertility】Therese; two archbishops 【Deacon of Twilight】Lockhart, 【Sister of Mercy】Theresa;

The three guardians of the kingdom, [Lord of the Nest] Hawkins, [J of Spades] Hogel, [Boneless] Ivana, all stood beside Byron.

By the way, only the Kingdom Guardian [Boneless] Ivana is sitting in a wheelchair.

She suffers from osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bones.

However, with his outstanding talent and perseverance, he became a legendary prophet and was also the teacher of his mother-in-law Vanessa when she was young.

The people they originally served changed from Margaret I to Byron and Violet. After all, they were all family and the late king was still alive, so they immediately got into work without any psychological barriers.

The North Sea Empire had a total of eight fifth-order high-sequence transcendents, which on paper was only one less than the other side.

This kind of military force can be called a regional hegemon in the Old World. Not to mention fighting one against six, even fighting one against sixteen or seventeen would not be a problem.

Byron looked at the prophet who was not good at fighting.

With a casual wave of his hand, he used the [Surgical Table] to remove the disease that could only plague mortals from her body.

According to the pre-war tradition of the Taiwanese people, I asked her for advice:
"Ms. Ivana, a great war is imminent. Is there anything you want to teach me?"

After the latter nodded in thanks, his eyes suddenly turned pure white.

Then, like all the charlatans, he said something veiled and confusing:
“All the gifts bestowed by fate have already been secretly marked with a price.

Those who play with fate will be played by fate!

Even the final victor of the last Ragnarok, the [Creator], was trapped in his own web and became the [Bound Creator]. No one else can be an exception.

Your Majesty, you are doing the right thing according to the will of the world.

Unexpected fluctuations in fate may bring you crises, but they are more likely to become opportunities. Then you can try to listen to the voice of your heart. "

Byron thought for a moment, knowing that this time [He who must not even be named] would take the risk and take direct action against his own fate.

But he did not continue to ask for details, because it was impossible for a prophet to see everything clearly anyway.

At this time, the voice of the [Beast Tamer] Scout sounded in the Law Network:
"Report, the first wave of the beast tide has arrived, with a total of about 12 beasts, lurking about ten meters underwater, and about to enter the -nautical-mile territorial waters."

Byron immediately activated the Golden Rule and issued the decree:

"Law: All intruders must remain in hiding!"

The power of the law descended, and the sea water suddenly seemed to be subjected to the force of "pointing the ground into steel", and the vanguard troops sneaking underwater had to surface again.

Although they all looked messy as before, one could still roughly make out their original forms.

There are all kinds of shrimps, crabs, sea cucumbers, abalone, jellyfish, scallops, geoduck, conchs, cod, etc. Each one is huge in size, and the smallest one is enough to feed a village for a year.

The giant sea monster leading the group looks like a deep-sea wolffish with no eyes and only a big mouth. Fishermen also call it "wolffish strips".

Numerous wolffish strips that looked somewhat like eels were combined into a giant fish ball with a diameter of several dozen meters, with countless bodies and mouths wriggling.

Ordinary people would probably be terrified to death when seeing a monster with a rapidly decreasing SAN value.

But the people around Byron were all battle-hardened and had long been immune to them. Some even developed a unique fetish for tentacles like Byron because of the midnight demon.

Especially the gourmet [Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred, who was in charge of the Royal Tax Inspection Bureau and had obviously gained weight, took a big sip of blood wine and joked:
“If I could use this wolffish as the main dish of my [Holy Communion Recipe], I’m afraid I could be promoted to a fourth-level hero on the spot.

The best way to cook it is to use it in the hot pot invented by Your Majesty while it is fresh, and it must be dipped in oil. Those who dip it in sesame sauce are heretics!"

The gourmet's third-level ability [Holy Communion Recipe] is no longer limited to single delicacies such as geoduck and whiskey, but can combine different foods and cooking methods to produce wonderful chemical reactions.

Since everyone has different physiques and preferences, the communion recipes for level three gourmets are naturally different.

In order to pursue the ultimate taste beyond the scope of human cognition, they have tried countless combinations over thousands of years and created all kinds of extremely bizarre "delicacies".

There are many dark combinations such as pomegranate and lemon beans, apple slices, pepper mango, strawberry cheese risotto, and fried bean sticks.

Alfred loves a dish: "Broken entrails, coagulated blood, tangled tentacles, lifeless eyes, shriveled limbs, mutilated brains, and scarlet fruits.

Rolling in the opposition of red and white, and being silent in the blend of yellow and brown!"

I firmly believe that everything can be used for hot pot.

As a midnight lover, I particularly like pig blood, duck blood and Maoxuewang.

When the battle was about to begin, none of the king's right hands and generals were nervous. Instead, they began to argue about whether the oil-based dish or the sauce-based dish was more delicious.

We have long since given up eating fish and chips every day.

Byron recalled the feast that the evil gods had just had with humans as raw materials, and shook his head:

“You all still have a long way to go.

I have a 'State Banquet Eel Slices' here, which is what we call a really exquisite and delicious dish.

Add fine salt to clean water and bring to a boil, then add the eel and vinegar, bring to a boil and simmer for a while, then take out the eel and wash off the mucus.

Use your left hand to remove the belly meat and eel back meat, wash off the blood, and cut into 8 cm long pieces.

Prepare 18 large shrimps, soak the mung bean vermicelli until soft and cut into small pieces of 6 cm long, a total of 108 pieces.

Add 5 parts each of chopped scallion and chopped ginger into hot oil and fry until fragrant. Add vermicelli, 5 parts fish sauce, 5 parts sugar and 1 part MSG, stir-fry until well-seasoned, then serve on a plate and set aside.

Then stir-fry the scallion, ginger and garlic until fragrant, then add shredded eel, dried shrimp, wine, fish sauce, sugar and salt, stir-fry and thicken.

At this time, slowly remove from the heat and sprinkle with pepper to complete the dish. "

Gudong!Gudong!
There is no need to eat this dish. Just listen to the exquisiteness of it, and the sound of swallowing saliva can be heard.

The hotpot, which I thought was very good, suddenly seemed to be overshadowed.

Byron chuckled.

"Since you are all hungry, I will treat you to seafood today."

His eyes swept over Hawkins, the shame of the fisherman, who was the "Lord of the Bait" and possessed the "Never Miss a Thing" trait.

In the previous life, even during the fishing moratorium, fishing was usually prohibited but not angling. The fish ponds relied entirely on these anglers to fatten the fish.

But there is one way of fishing that is prohibited at all times.

He looked up at the sky, where the thunderclouds were growing thicker and thicker due to the gathering of countless sea monsters, and smiled:

"These seafood came from far away and even brought their own cooking utensils. That's very polite of them."

Then blow the [Storm Horn].

beep--!
This time, there appeared not only eight storm djinn called the “Eight Battery Brothers” whose bodies had expanded in size and each was nearly two stories tall.

With the vast water vapor, the source tides between heaven and earth have become extremely active.

With the naked eye, you can see many translucent storm elves with bird wings playing and frolicking in the thick clouds with flashing lightning.

The Taino natives in the south called them thunderbirds, and they were a common sight on totem poles.

[Thunderbird Warrior] is also one of the most powerful kings among all beast warriors, even more powerful than Tayapan's [Dragon Lizard Warrior].

With the "Eight Battery Brothers" as the core, numerous storm elves held hands and formed a huge circle above the beast tide that had already rushed to seven seas.

Byron activated the one percent of "Everything Becomes One", and his divine vision extended infinitely, breathing as one with the storm brought by the sea monster above his head.

[Guaranteed Hit Gun: Gungnir] fell into his palm.

According to the tradition left by the Bay People since the time of [God of the Wild Hunt] Woden, the commander fired the first shot at the enemy.

"Within seven miles, no one is faster than me. Go ahead."

call out--!
A ray of lightning split the sea and suddenly penetrated into the clouds from the center of the storm ring.

The storm quieted for a moment.

next moment.

Rumble.
As both the enemy and us suddenly turned pale, thunder roared, golden snakes danced wildly, and hundreds of extremely thick lightning bolts fell from the clouds and crashed onto the heads of the beast tide.

At this time, Byron's voice came faintly:

“Just like high-end ingredients often require only the most simple cooking methods.

The most advanced fishing experts only use the simplest fishing method - electric fishing!
The whole family, young and old, even the snails, crabs, frogs in the mud, and even the entire ecosystem were taken away in one wave.

This is the ultimate secret of the fisherman!"
