Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 556 Thunderbird Zephyr, Aircraft Carrier

Above the battlefield, strong winds rolled up dark clouds, and heavy rain turned the sea and sky upside down.

The dark bottom of the clouds looked like a big hole had been pierced by a gunshot.

Countless lightning bolts poured down from the holes marked by the storm djinn like a flood, and then crawled on the surface of the sea like snakes.

"Boo-boo-boo-boo"

Mantis shrimps, crabs, sea cucumbers, abalone, jellyfish, scallops, geoduck, conchs, cod. Every sea monster was flashing with electric light, steaming, and filled with a burnt aroma.

Some unlucky people who were struck directly by lightning were even blown into pieces of "teppanyaki" on the spot.

The largest one, the giant wolffish that looked like a snake ball, was targeted by several lightning bolts mixed with flying spherical lightning.

Even though he instinctively activated his extraordinary abilities and rolled up dozens of water tornadoes in the sea to try to fight against the lightning, he was still blown to pieces on the spot.

It turned into countless "charcoal-grilled eel slices".

Other large sea monsters with slightly stronger resistance wanted to dive back into the deep sea, but they were resisted by the power of law supported by tens of millions of people, and could only wail in the lightning.

Whether it was the sea monster in the lightning or the group of false gods who were sitting on pins and needles outside the territorial waters, they all felt that every second was like a year.

The large-scale concentrated discharge of this thunderstorm cloud lasted for more than ten seconds, and the longest arc was even more than 300 kilometers.

Even Byron didn't know how much energy his "sky-piercing" shot released.

But if the unit of measurement is 100,000 volts, it is at least equivalent to hundreds of thousands of "picos".

Among them, the power consumed by Byron himself is negligible, and almost 100% comes from the world itself. It can also be said that it is the energy belonging to the sun that is retained by the world in the form of electric charge.

This once again vividly illustrates why the sun and storms are the mortal enemies of the deep ocean.

The simultaneous appearance of stormy weather and large-scale sea monsters was considered a very common natural phenomenon, and no one had ever delved into the principles behind it.

When sporadic sea monsters appear, they will at most be accompanied by fog. Once a large number of sea monsters, especially those contaminated from outside the world's cracks, gather together, there will definitely be lightning, thunder, wind and rain.

In the past, naturalists generally believed that this was the clustering effect of sea monsters, which would actively create a natural environment suitable for counterattacking land.

But Byron, who had just activated "All Things Become One" and whose spirit and cumulonimbus clouds had merged into one, could clearly feel the material world's vague but firm hatred for those who were polluted!

It is speculated that the "lightning storm" apparently provides assistance to the sea monster, but in essence it is the world's stress response and immune system used to eliminate "toxins".

The world not only rejects those old gods who fell into the deep sea, but also wants to kill those relatives who go in and out of its body.

However, due to the widespread existence of the skin effect, the current tends to flow on the surface of the conductor rather than penetrating deep into the interior.

Seawater is a good conductor, so when lightning strikes, it will only be distributed on the surface of the ocean, making it difficult to harm underwater sea monsters, and it will quickly decay with increasing distance.

Therefore, the world's own mechanical immune system poses little threat to degraded sea monsters and their followers.

Only like now, the power of the world itself cooperates with Byron, the "agent" who can flexibly formulate tactics, the power of the lightning storm can finally erupt completely.

By the time the dazzling light of lightning and the rising white mist had completely dissipated, the vast sea surface had turned into a large pot of steaming seafood soup.

The whole sea area is filled with the word "fresh".

Most of the sea monsters died on the spot with their bellies turned upside down and their bodies charred.

The very few large sea monsters that were not struck directly by lightning were cooked to at least medium-rare.

For gourmets who pursue ultimate freshness, the cooking time is just right. You can pick it up and eat it directly. The meat is full of myoglobin, which is simply amazing.

What’s even more amazing is Byron’s cooking skills.

Using the sea as a soup pot, the sky as a stove, and thunder as a fire, this is how gods cook.

Unfortunately, no matter if they were enemies or friends, no one had time to think about whether the seafood cooked in this way would taste good. All of them opened their mouths wide, shocked by this terrifying power of heaven, and could not recover for a long time.

The same image was projected across the empire through coastal lighthouses, allowing all citizens to see this awe-inspiring divine power.

After being shocked, everyone became so excited that their faces turned red and they shouted "King of the Wild Hunt" and "Messiah" until their voices were hoarse.

It is no longer popular among Taiwanese people to shout "Long live the Lord". This word is not very auspicious for an immortal god.

Byron clapped his hands gently, and was very satisfied with the effect of this attack:
"The charge in thunderstorm clouds usually comes from friction, with positive charge in the upper part of the cumulonimbus cloud, negative charge in the middle and lower part, and a positive charge area at the bottom.

When the number of charges of different polarities reaches a certain level, a strong electric field is formed between the cloud and the ground, which will break through the air, which is originally an insulator, and cause discharge.

The discharge between the cloud and the ground is called 'ground lightning', and the discharge inside the cloud is called 'cloud lightning'. This is the authority of the [Storm King]!"

Obviously, Byron, who has a deep understanding of natural science knowledge, holds not only a new energy fishing rod with zero left and fire right, but also a destructive new power - [Weather Weapon]!
The pale-faced crowd had just recovered from this devastating blow.

"Wow—!"

Suddenly, a cry that pierced through gold and split rock was heard from where the lightning disappeared.

After the lightning flashed again, a huge pure white bird with a wingspan of more than ten meters suddenly appeared in the sky. It was shining with lightning all over, illuminating the dark sea under the rain.

Byron's right hand, the native [Gun Master] Wyandot cried out in shock:
"That's a mature Thunderbird!

The birth of this elemental mythical creature that can rival dragons requires extremely stringent environmental conditions and is much rarer than dragons.

Has the tidal activity in the Old World increased to this level?"

In most cases, the thunderbird, which only appears in legends, has three pairs of pure white wings that shine with cyan light and two long tail feathers.

When it flaps its wings and flies high, wind and thunder suddenly arise, and golden lightning will be released between its eyelids. It is the spirit of thunder, lightning and rain that appears in the form of a giant bird.

Usually storm elves are born and die quickly and cannot survive a storm. Only the lucky ones who happen to hide in a suitable environment have the chance to transform into real thunderbirds.

A mature thunderbird can fight against a dragon and is one of the best among all mythical creatures.

Byron had seen a living thunderbird before. In the collective subconscious of the Bay people, the seventh floor of Valhalla, "Alfheim", is the kingdom of nature elves.

The largest number of them are storm elves and light elves, and among them are many elemental thunderbirds that are rarely seen in the outside world.

But most of them were only limited to the level of survival, and the best developed one was only at the third level, which was far inferior to this fourth-level existence, so he did not have any desire to capture it.

This elemental monster must have been attracted from the depths of the Sea of ​​Monsters by this wave of meteorological weapon explosions.

I don’t know how many evil creatures he has fought with in the depths of the sea. Looking around, he seems like a king who looks down on all living beings. He should be not far from the fifth level.

If a monster successfully advances to level five, it can make up for its own shortcomings and gain wisdom. This is how the first monsters and gods of the Paleozoic Era came about.

Byron was delighted to see his prey, and the [Guaranteed Hit Gun - Gungnir] in his hand lit up again.

This holy spear has two sides. One side is the most commonly used [Hunting Spear], and the other side is the [Taming Spear] which has only been used once so far:
“It can only be used on non-human creatures. After hitting the target, it will enter the spiritual world on its own. Only by subduing the prey with one’s own will can one truly subdue the opponent.

If you are forced to break free or are suppressed by the other party, you may suffer mental trauma.

The more objects you tame, the heavier the burden will be, so please do it according to your ability."

call out--!
A long bright blue rainbow broke through the sky. Thunderbird sensed the danger and with a flash of lightning it was already dozens of kilometers away.

But no matter how fast you are, you can't escape the bullet that will hit you.

He had just flashed twice when Gungnir pierced through his chest, and was instantly overwhelmed by Byron's overwhelming and strong will.

He flew back to Byron with the Holy Spear.

Before this, the only one he had tamed was a small snail that was about to evolve into a giant species. With his double fifth-level divine essence, it was more than enough for him to carry an additional thunderbird equivalent to a fourth-level one.

He raised his left arm, and the huge thunderbird folded its wings and landed on it, bowing its head deeply to him.

When our officers and soldiers, especially the Berserkers, saw this majestic Thunderbird return, they immediately cheered loudly:
"Thor! Thor! Thor!"

The meaning is the same as Byron’s shouting in ancient times in his previous life: “Wind, gale” and Damao’s shouting: “Ura”, which are both kinds of war cry.

The morale of the soldiers has reached its peak.

The god of thunder and power of the Wan people, in charge of thunder, power, storms, wars, and agriculture. He is the first combat force in the Wan people's pantheon except for the God King.

The god-king Woden is a symbol of patriarchy, while the god of thunder Thor is the most worshipped by warriors.

Just as Woden has the raven as his sacred bird, Thor's sacred bird is the thunderbird.

Byron inadvertently combined the powers of this father and son, as well as those of one of Woden's sworn brothers.

When he is promoted to the sixth-rank demigod, it will be possible for him to condense his own powers into a [priesthood], and even take the initiative to distribute power to his bloodline descendants, allowing them to be born as gods!
Byron was also in a good mood, and said to Thunderbird:
"Since my magic is called [Electromagnetic Slingshot], it will eventually evolve into 'Blow Down, Stars Like Rain', but since we are in the Western Continent, I will call you West Wind.

From now on, you will be the mascot and sacred bird of West Wind Express Company."

"Wow—!"

Although Thunderbird's wisdom is simple, he is very satisfied with this name.

Then it flapped its wings and flew into the thunderstorm cloud, and together with the eight storm djinns and a group of storm elves surrounding it, it drove more electric charges to the battlefield.

Compared to the high morale of the Taiwanese people, the faces of the coalition forces of the Old God Church outside the border maze looked particularly ugly.

Every one of them, the polluted divine aura within them is very afraid of positive energy like holy light and thunder.

Especially the Voodoo's [Baron Saturday], as a spiritual god symbolizing death, the soul fire in his head is still buzzing.

I don’t know if I would have survived if I had taken that blow just now.

Not only them, but also many degraded sea monsters under the water mostly shrank back, having a natural fear of this magnificent force of nature.

After a while, the commander of the Chaos Beasts gave the sea monster army a forced order:

"Don't be afraid. He has the power of thunder, and we also have the power of the deep sea. The second echelon, split into two groups and break through from the flank of the Faroe Islands. Use tidal waves! Killing waves!"

The two hundred degraded sea monsters in the second echelon, each led by a giant sea monster equivalent to a first-class ship, rushed straight into the heart of the North Sea behind the first island chain like two sharp arrows.

One of the two giant species is a fiddler crab, and the other is an archerfish. Both of them have the innate ability to control rapids.

He worked together with the army of sea monsters under his command to exert his abilities, and the huge amount of sea water beneath him suddenly piled up several meters high.

The sea monsters roared and rushed to the top of the waves, running towards the land.

And just like a tsunami, it may be only one or two meters in the deep sea area, but once it approaches the continental shelf and land, the waves immediately rise to huge waves of more than ten meters.

Not to mention letting the sea monster land, a tsunami alone could destroy all coastal fire defense artillery and garrisons.

Moreover, these two tidal waves advance in a "V" shape, covering the main position of the Faroe Islands in the middle.

When the crests of the two tides gradually overlap, they form a terrifying "killer wave" that can be as high as thirty meters and can destroy everything!
If a warship encounters such waves on the sea, it will have no way to save itself except to close its eyes and wait for death.

Even if thunder can kill the sea monster, it can never kill this murderous wave which also comes from the power of nature.

Wow.
As the two white lines rushed into the foggy 12-nautical-mile territorial waters and rapidly approached the Faroe Islands, the huge sound of water filled my eardrums.

Everyone on the battlefield swallowed and subconsciously looked at Byron.

Obviously, before the [King of the Wild Hunt] personally admitted that he was no match for him, none of the officers and soldiers who were accustomed to repeated victories would truly despair.

This is true even when faced with a notorious natural disaster.

“This foreign invasion is not entirely a bad thing.

Only a war of sufficient intensity can allow the Taiwanese people, who have been sinking for thousands of years, to put aside their differences and rise from the ashes.”

Byron clearly saw with the help of the [Power of the Underworld] that the collective subconscious of the five nations of the Bay was being reunited into a whole at an unprecedented speed after being disintegrated for a thousand years.

In most cases, war is not a good thing, but sometimes it is a shortcut to reshape national character and build consensus.

Especially when the true nature of the evil creatures and their followers is revealed to the people of the empire, they will understand why "loyalty" itself is the greatest reward!

At this time, as long as the king can lead his people from one victory to another like the emperor, the will of the king will soon become the will of the entire nation.

Some people are just a brick that carries the weight of the times, some can only be a paperhanger throughout their entire lives, while some just by standing there are already the backbone of the entire nation.

Of course it's not without its drawbacks.

When this consensus was not strong enough and they lost the invincible man, the Gallic rooster, no matter how powerful and great it once was, was destined to collapse.

There is even a so-called correct way to use the national flag:

“If there is a war, cut along the dotted line, if you support the restoration of the royal family, use the blue flag on the left;
If it is a revolutionary war, use the red flag on the right to save your life;

If a foreign war breaks out, use the white flag in the middle and directly raise the white flag to surrender without any hesitation. "

What a great invention! It perfectly fits the new national character of the Gallic people: male, er, female, white, black, whatever.

Byron sighed and lamented, but decided to do his own thing in front of his own people first.

This time, the "killing wave" tactics used by the enemy were no match for him.

"The principle of the bulbous bow in the steel ship era is to use the underwater bulb to generate wave motion in the opposite direction to the hull, so that the crests and troughs of the two waves overlap and eliminate the original strong pitching of the hull.

So if you want to eliminate the killing wave, you just need to avoid the peaks of these two waves, which is a piece of cake."

Raise your hands and the power of the law will come roaring in.

"Imperial Order: Sensory Dislocation."

The two sea monster armies that broke through from the flank had been moving in a straight line.

But just like the pirate ship would not have been able to successfully enter the Anchor Bay without a pilot to lead it.

The Iron Law of Kingship, complemented by the [Golden Law], is even more powerful.

They were able to move in a straight line at first, but soon they began to alternate between fast and slow without anyone noticing, with the crest of one side falling into the trough of the other side.

The terrifying and huge waves disappeared in the blink of an eye, and even the small boats that had not been evacuated from the shore in time were not overturned.

Under normal circumstances, the army of sea monsters that should have rushed over from both sides of the Faroe Islands were gathered together again due to sensory shielding, and they were exactly where the pot of fresh fish soup was.

Byron fired the holy spear again.

"One more time, thunder, one billion volts!"

Rumble.
A halo flashed in the sky, and a second huge wave of lightning struck down again, electrocuting the 200 sea monsters until they were burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

But the second discharge was obviously not as powerful as the first.

The duration was also shorter, and many sea monsters were simply electrocuted and knocked unconscious, twitching in the sea and emitting miserable wails.

On the surface, it seems that the effect is even more severe than the first wave of electric shock, which is more powerful.

Byron was kind-hearted and could not bear to see such a tragic scene, so he waved his hand and the legendary battleship [Golden Deer] immediately led the large fleet forward to fire additional artillery fire.

"Fire!"

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Hundreds of main battleships were lined up, and after three rounds of salvos fired by all heavy artillery, all the sea monsters that were still suffering were killed by the targeted artillery fire of the small ship girl's fire control system, and were completely relieved.

According to the scale of the previous three beast tides, the killing has reached this level and it is almost over now.

However, the real main force has not yet entered the market this time.

The coalition forces of the Old God Church took the opportunity to see through the weakness of the [Weather Weapon]. Although their offensive was still easily resolved by the defenders, the electric charge accumulated per unit time was limited.

If we want to have another large-scale lightning strike, it will probably take a long cooling-off period.

The mysterious "traitor" reminded the Chaos Beasts:

"Sir, tricky tactics are useless. The key is to destroy the border maze that can cooperate with the use of [Law].

The border maze is unbreakable, and no matter where you attack along the line, you will face the opponent's strongest point.

Once this nail is pulled out, the law node of the entire North Sea Empire can be broken, allowing the sea monster to regain its original power.

Now, the lull in the thunderstorm is the best time to attack."

The Chaos Beasts nodded in agreement, and the roar of the androgynous, non-human, non-beast creatures resounded throughout the entire legion.

"The Colonial Fleet will attack first, the Sea Monsters will guard the flanks, deploy the Divine Domain [Chaos Beast Lair], and merge the biological force fields!

There is no need to play any more tactics. We have the upper hand in terms of strength. Break through the Faroe Islands by force."

"As ordered!"

The colonial fleet under the Blood Beast Lair is exactly the same style as this Old God Church.

The main body seems to be built directly from the huge skeleton of a sea monster, and the middle is filled with disgusting internal organs, flesh and blood covered with strange growths. It is not powered by wind or oars, but purely by huge tentacles that are dozens of meters long to stir the waves.

The outermost layer is a solid armor made up of layers of parasitic shells, and the shadows of barnacles, corals and oysters can be seen.

Om-!
With the legendary battleship [Flying Beastman] as the core, a circle of scarlet divine domain penetrates the hull and overflows, covering hundreds of colonial battleships and the remaining hundreds of degraded sea monsters.

Every time a living combat unit is linked and their life force field is activated, the power of the divine domain [Chaos Beast Lair] will be enhanced by one point.

The next moment, with the legendary battleship as the lead ship, the scarlet force field was constrained into the shape of an arrow, and slammed into the border maze.

Stab! Stab!
A sharp and piercing noise was heard, and a huge hexagonal force field structure appeared in front of the [Flying Beastman].

He actually broke through the mystery of national borders bit by bit, using only a little bit to break through the surface.

In this divine domain supported by numerous giant monsters, various targeted [laws] can no longer take effect.

The senses will not be deceived, and head straight to the Faroe Islands.

The corners of the Chaos Beast's mouth curled up into a cruel smile under the cloak:

"Air Force, attack!"

In order to fight against the dragons, humans maxed out all the no-fly capabilities. In that mythological era, a single dragon would definitely not be able to fight against the human army.

But now, fifteen hundred years later, humanity's enemies have not stood still, but have come up with corresponding countermeasures.

Use the higher-level divine domain to combine with the life force field to simulate the collective power of human beings and create an independent domain to hedge against the restricted airspace.

As long as we cannot break this divine domain, we must never ignore the dominance of the Air Force.

Even though it is not universal among the clans and can only be used by the Old God Church on the corresponding forbidden route, it is enough to turn the tide of the battle by surprise.

call out!call out!call out!
The bone plates on the surface of the hull covered by the shell turned over, and suddenly hundreds of holes opened up like petals, expanding and contracting, and strange-shaped flying units were launched out.

This is a half-human, half-beast creature with the characteristics of a bat, bird, and insect, with a segmented body, bat-like wings and bird-like claws.

There were dozens of bloody red follicles hanging on the shriveled belly, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not good things.

In just a few breaths, the [Flying Beastman] ejected hundreds of flying units, forming a black cloud that made a strange "buzzing" sound above the head.

As the divine domain [Chaos Beast Lair] expanded, their flight range also expanded, gradually approaching the Faroe Islands.

This biological warship is not a conventional artillery battleship, but an aircraft carrier with its own "carrier-based aircraft"!
