Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 588 Byron: You were kicked by Louis XI!

The golden light converged slightly, and the turret array and shrapnel placed in the [Mechanical Fortress] were reorganized and optimized, emitting a sharp light from the inside out that was sharp enough to hurt a person's eyes.

The two treasures are combined into [Level 1 Relic - Constructed Turret]:
“More is more, bigger is better, caliber is justice, turret is truth!

The steam-mounted turret composed of breech-loading rifled guns and shrapnel shells was destined to usher in the era of large cannons and battleships for the maritime powers.

This is its destiny.

Just like the bolt-action rifle crushed the flintlock rifle and the line-up shooting tactics, the future naval warfare pattern will be completely changed from now on. "

Ability: Contradictory in one.

12. When attacking, it is a spear with a range of 388 nautical miles and an error of nautical miles.

The only use of cannons is to measure territory.

The current territorial waters of the North Sea Empire are 12 nautical miles, or about 22 kilometers. The territorial waters of other countries are only 3 nautical miles, precisely because the largest caliber coastal defense artillery can only reach a maximum of 3 nautical miles.

With the advent of this type of artillery, the 12 nautical mile sea border of the North Sea Empire finally became true.

When the enemy invades, although the territorial waters are only 12 nautical miles, I happen to have a 400-nautical-mile-long sword for you to appreciate.

As long as it is within the range of 400 nautical miles, the 'mystical' 388 nautical mile error can be used to make up for it and achieve automatic calibration.

Even though the hit rate gradually decreases with increasing distance, it has already achieved a terrifying beyond-visual-range strike. I am the only one hitting people, no one is hitting me.

2. It can be used as a shield when defending, and can accurately defend against the opponent's long-range attacks.

The basic interception rate of a shell and its fragments is 70%, so the interception rate of three shells adds up to 97.3%, or %.

It has both offensive and defensive capabilities, making up for the defect of battleships being strong in offense but weak in defense.

Note: You can extract the corresponding mechanical programming through the card and inject it into the control system of the ordinary turret to obtain half of the defensive ability. The more turrets there are, the greater the ability increase.

【Destiny】:
"More is more, bigger is better, caliber is justice, turret is truth. Under normal circumstances, the turret array in your hand is the embodiment of justice and truth!

Even if what you do is not so just or true, you can still force the other party to accept it through "physical persuasion".

If you cannot accept this, you can also use "physical purification" to make only your justice and truth remain in this world.

This proves the truth: the weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons!

But when you have fewer gun barrels and turrets than the enemy, and your size and caliber are smaller than the enemy, you will immediately lose your justice and truth.

The effect of the holy relic is lost immediately!"

Byron and Violet were both very pleased with their new weapons.

The ability of the holy relic [Construct Turret] is already strong enough, and the minor side effects are nothing.

The ship-borne breech-loading rifled guns and the matching shrapnel shells would soon change the situation of the war and sweep all the wooden sailing warships that were still sailing on the seas in this era into the garbage dump.

Unless other countries light up their ironclad ships.

With the development of artillery technology, ironclad ships will soon be eliminated, and generations of steel steam battleships will begin to iterate.

Byron was not afraid of competition. His experience in his previous life told him that most of the technological explosions in the past were due to military use.

Computers, antibiotics, stainless steel, telegraphs, telephones, canned food, and the list goes on.

Thanks to the existence of the tower sequences in this world that "drive out ignorance with knowledge", their learning ability, creativity, collaboration ability, and hands-on ability all surpass those of the scientific researchers in the world without magic.

Under his leadership, the technological advancement of the countries in the material world will also enter the fast lane. Every time humanity's strength increases, the possibility of surviving the great flood in the future will increase.

Of all the remaining key technologies, the first was to invent a large steam turbine to drive a propeller, rather than an ordinary paddle-wheel steamship.

Alpha and the entire team of whale oil mechanics are working hard to solve the problem.

During this period, at most one paddle steamer could be built as a footprint in the history of the development of steamships, occupying a slot for a [Holy Relic].

A ship that can't even serve as a battleship is not worth wasting their efforts on. Judging from its innovativeness and practicality, the paddle steamer will not be a very powerful relic.

Click, click, click
Under Alpha's control, after a round of salvos, the turret array powered by the whale oil steam engine completed the second round of loading through the mechanical transmission device and entered the activated state.

The ammunition unit "base" varies according to different weapons, different eras and different countries.

In the artillery manual currently developed by Byron and Violet, the base number is 160 rounds, enough for a turret array of 40 guns to fire four rounds in a row.

After giving the order, you don't have to worry about it, it will be completed automatically in the shortest time.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Flames spewed from the muzzles of the guns, and the Golden Deer stirred up a scorching gale. The sea surface on one side was pressed into fan-shaped depressions by the shock wave, and the conical shells carrying red lines of fire flew towards the giant iron-clad crab.

Although the distance was too close to demonstrate the full power of the holy relic, the outpouring of firepower from close-range attacks was even more shocking.

The moment the warhead of the shell touched the body of the giant crab, the firing pin was activated, igniting the whale oil primer, and the high explosive loaded in the shell exploded.

During the first round of bombardment, the dark reef armor of the island on the crab's back was completely flattened.

During the second round of bombardment, the flame storm, carrying hot shrapnel, tore the last layer of the crab's shell apart, and flesh, blood and shell exploded everywhere.

A shrill scream pierced the eardrum.

Before the giant iron-clad crab could take two steps, it cut off the Golden Deer with one pincer and fell to the ground like a landslide.

The era in which small, large and giant sea monsters corresponded to the deck length of level six battleships and their corresponding combat capabilities were evaluated is gone forever.

The giant ironclad crab, whose size is so huge that it has long surpassed the level of a first-class ship, can't even withstand two rounds of salvos from forty new artillery pieces?
The crew on the ship cheered loudly, this sea was destined to have a new master!
The power of thermal weapons has obviously been underestimated in countless works of art. Tides of zombies and anacondas are all no match for real modern thermal weapons.

Hold the truth, make the rules, construct turrets and teach those weird things in the deep sea how to sing and dance!
"What a pity to waste such a big crab roe."

[Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred looked at the entire shell that had been opened, which was filled with blood, flesh, glands, and countless twitching nerve endings.

And the mass in the middle of the belly that looked like crab roe, but was actually the crab slave's body that had begun to take on a human form. He shook his head regretfully.

This kind of curious shape is not impossible even for him.

"If you use this topping to make a bowl of crab roe noodles, steam a thousand steamed crab roe buns, and add a little crab vinegar, it will taste amazing. Slurp!"

At this time, two figures took advantage of the gap in the fire to quickly drill out from under the belly of the crab corpse, leaped into the air, and fell towards the deck of the Golden Deer like a cannonball.

“Stop! Give me back my Lord’s [Elf of Love].”

The one in front is a fifth-level [Barbarian Clown] who looks like a dwarf, but can defeat [Storm Angel] Andrea head-on with a single blow.

The burly fat man at the back stepped on Andrea's fourth-level [Bomb Clown] to death.

"I've been waiting for you."

Byron waved his hand, and a brilliant holy light fell behind him.

Archangel Andrea, who had already adapted to her new power, stepped out wearing silver armor.

"You shall die for offending my Lord!"

When the enemies meet, their eyes are full of jealousy. The archangel holds the new gun sword made for her by Violet, and with a flash of lightning, he rushes in front of the [Bomb Clown].

Using the impact force, the butt of the gun hit the opponent's chin at a speed that made the opponent unable to react at all.

Boom!

The latter suddenly fell towards the sea like a stone, and Andrea turned into lightning and chased after him.

On the other side, Violet waved her hand.

The gears of the [Mechanical Fortress] above her head, which was composed of thaumaturgy and the Golden Mist Palace, started to rotate, and rapidly transformed into a long-handled power hammer that fell into her palm.

The square hammer head was as big as a small house, and white mist spewed out with a huge rumbling sound.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a body of steel, and geometric light patterns like circuits appeared on the skin of his cheeks and neck.

Violet did not use the simple whale oil gunpowder like the soldiers, but a dual energy supply system of gunpowder and steam.

The [Mechanical Fortress] is equipped with a high-power whale oil-powered steam engine that is capable of driving large warships. It has a horsepower of up to 10,000, which is enough to drive a 20,000-ton ship.

The air circle under his feet exploded and he soared into the air.

With a rumbling whistle like a meteor across the sky, the steam power core emitted a red light, and in the gushing of snow-white steam, the huge power hammer in his hand smashed towards the [Barbarian Bone Clown] in front of him with a momentum that could overturn the world.

[Barbarian Clown] felt this pure violence, and ripples appeared on his face.

He bit his thumb and blew hard, and his body actually expanded rapidly like a balloon, and in a blink of an eye he turned into a giant no smaller than Hammerhead.

The arm twisted freely, compressed to the limit like a spring, and then struck out violently. The fist and the power hammer collided, causing a huge burst of fire.

Boom——!
But he was also knocked down from the sky, creating a huge splash in the sea.

Before he could regain his balance, Violet’s power hammer struck him on the head again.

For a moment, the fifth-level clown, who was so majestic and domineering that even the night watchmen were unable to fight back, could only defend himself.

This is the benefit of lighting up the mechanical technology tree.

Even if the user is just a mortal, relying on the power advantage of the cutting-edge invention itself, he can crush mythical creatures and even legends in terms of absolute strength.

What’s more, Violet herself is much stronger than the [Barbarian Clown], who was promoted by being contaminated by a golden big joker.

The girl danced with the giant hammer as if she was dancing with a straw, easily and freely.

Without a doubt, if you ask who uses the "Six Army Styles" best, it must be Violet, the creator.

Other people's artificial bodies are far from comparable to hers, a legendary mechanic who possesses the Gate of Truth and can switch between flesh and blood and steel at will.

[Secret: Fire Fan and Twelve Bangs of the Cannon Hammer] Also called "Steam Engine Pictographic Fist".

Steam is sent into the cylinder through the pipeline. The valve controls the time when the steam reaches the cylinder. It enters the slide valve chamber through the main steam valve and the throttle valve, and is controlled by the slide valve to alternately enter the left or right side of the cylinder to push the piston to move.

Steam engines today can reach about 300 revolutions per minute, and Violet's hammering is about the same, delivering five heavy blows to the Savage Clown in one second. The flames of the sky-high curtain of fire turned into a fire fan, and a series of roars sounded. How could there be only twelve roars?
clang!clang!clang!
There was a loud roar like hammering iron in the sea. The Barbarian Bone Clown, who was known for his great strength, now felt that his whole body was groaning under the heavy burden.

It seemed that it wouldn't take long before the flesh and bones were separated and he was beaten into a pile of meat paste alive.

A pair of panic-filled eyes subconsciously looked at the Ferdinand family, who had no idea what was going on and were in an uproar, and the "traitor" Mercurius, who had a grim face and was in a dilemma.

Taking advantage of this gap, Byron has successfully dealt with the [love spirit] Salome who was swallowed into the River Styx.

The three river crossing rules operate automatically.

"The first rule of crossing the Styx is: you can't take anything with you when you die. In this 'feather-sinking river' where not even a feather can float, nothing can pass except the soul."

Salome was forced to abandon her body and the Level 0 relic in her hand.

"The second rule of crossing the river: oaths are of great weight, and all oath breakers will carry their creditors when crossing the river, and gods are no exception.

The greater the impact of the broken contract, the heavier the burden will be."

She abandoned the righteous path of the dancer who charmed everyone, and used the Dance of Seven Veils and the Dance of Destruction to induce the residents of an entire city-state to kill each other as fuel for her promotion. Naturally, she also became a creditor of the entire city.

It sank to the bottom of the river without any resistance.

"The third rule for crossing the river: The nature of the Styx is consistent with periodic floods. Even if a god is continuously washed by this river, his divinity will be washed away and he will fall from his status."

There is no need to take action against the [Mud Giant] lurking at the bottom of the river; property, flesh, soul, divinity, animality, humanity, and magic will be torn into pieces.

It just happens to be divided into seven parts.

Byron was originally a little hesitant about how to deal with this legendary dancer.

But suddenly she saw the transaction between her and the "rape" from the memory in her mind.

"The collapsed kingdom of God in the Sea of ​​Essence? The body of the Venus goddess Ishtar? And a series of priesthoods on Him.

【Venus】, 【War】, 【Love】, 【Rain】, 【Thunderstorm】, 【Fertility】.
There is considerable overlap with the powers I possess.

This may be a golden opportunity for me that I cannot miss.”

So far, the Styx has eaten the [Winter Secret Box of the Frost Giants], the [Mother Nature] of the Druids, and the [Baron Saturday] of the Voodoo.

The digestion capacity of [Styx] is obviously far superior to that of [Dance of the Seven Veils]. The latter can only peel off things, and the things are essentially still someone else's.

The former can completely cleanse the spiritual imprint of the previous owner, making those false gods or holy relics completely disappear from this world, without any possibility of resurrection.

At the same time, Byron also absorbed their power and divinity, contributing to his own transformation into a deity and the elevation of his priesthood.

It is especially important for him to elevate his power of change into the priesthood of transformation.

The priesthood of [Change] has never appeared in this world. Even if Byron wanted to grab it, he couldn't get a ready-made one. He could only slowly gather it himself.

Fortunately, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, everything is three, and when it comes to seven, everything will change.

As his own power increases, especially when the opposing power representing "two" appears, it is particularly easy to promote the birth of the priesthood of [change].

If you can obtain other corresponding priesthoods, you can definitely significantly shorten the time it takes to condense and transform the priesthood.

At Byron's level, it is difficult for anything to make him worry, but he couldn't help but be excited after receiving this news.

“A demigod-level corpse is still dangerous, but I’m just giving it a try. What if it works?

Miss Salome should be happy to help me solve my problems."

Therefore, Byron decisively extracted Salome's soul and transformed it into the third fifth-level Wild Hunt servant after Dagon, the Nightmare of the Abyss, and Swamp Giant.

After the soul and body became one, the [Love Spirit] Salome opened her eyes again but her nature remained unchanged.

She knelt on the ground, shook her round buttocks through the transparent dance skirt, and could see a pair of pearl panties. She said to Byron's projection in a hoarse and charming voice like a cat:

“Great Master, your humble slave girl is willing to do anything for you.

Anything is fine!"

Her delicate fingers stroked her rose-like plump lips, her slender neck, and her delicate collarbone.
Byron's heart also skipped a beat.

While secretly cursing the goblin, my heart was also pounding.

Then he looked at her face expectantly and asked tentatively:
"Then help me draw the design of the steam turbine?"

Salome's body suddenly stiffened, leaving only a look of confusion on her face, which, combined with her beautiful appearance, made her look somewhat silly and cute.

"No? Which country's fiscal and taxation mathematical model?"

"Improved steam engine?"

"It's okay to invent a utility model, right?"

"."

After a while, Byron shook his head and retracted his projection, sighing in disappointment:
“Bad review!

This beauty trap does not involve the heart at all, it only involves the body. If the magic is not sharp enough, which king or top dignitary would fall for such a low-level beauty trap?

The real beauty trap should be:
She is knowledgeable, capable and has good temperament. You think she is the one you will never meet again in your life. She is an incomparable treasure.

You are willing to protect her, cherish her, and save her. You are willing to take risks for her. Even if you face danger, your heart and eyes are filled with only her figure, and your heart only has the oath of love for her.

Even before death, he still felt satisfied.

Just because you thought you met true love!
But this dancer is of little use other than providing emotional value.

She cannot organize a country’s finances in an orderly manner like her elder sister, nor can she promote scientific and technological innovation like the eldest daughter.

That's all, and you still want to daydream about making all the kings of the continent kneel down and lick your ass?

She is definitely a witch who brings disaster to the country and the people!
When you finish this mission, I will definitely send you to my cousin's 'United Pharmaceuticals' for labor reform."

At this time, he relied on his insight into the taboos of the [Dance of the Seven Veils] to capture Salome cleanly and neatly.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the River Styx has been expanding and contracting, as if the dancer trapped inside is still struggling hard.

Byron also saw Mercurius's extremely ugly expression from the corner of his eye.

If only two clowns were caught, he might not care, but considering how important Salome was to him and the [Life-threatening Clown], he would never give up.

And on the surface it looked like Byron was the first to attack the dancer. The dancer did not display any magical powers and seemed to be the innocent party affected.

Sure enough, the Ferdinand family's warship turned its bow and came over.

"Grand Duke Cosimo" called out from afar like a peacemaker:
"Your Majesty, King of the Wild Hunt, how did this happen?

Are those two clowns and the sea monster assassins?
But I can guarantee that Miss Salome is innocent.

She is well-known in the empire and the continent, and is a guest of many dignitaries. Please release her as soon as possible."

Byron listened to these soft yet tough words and guessed what he was thinking.

He thought he was still in the dark and wanted to use the "social skills" of Ferdinand's family to trick the dancer back without fighting.

The Ferdinand family members behind him also expressed their approval and advised:
"Your Majesty, the King of the Wild Hunt, Miss Salome is so beautiful, she must be a good person!"

"Please let her go."

"It is despicable that the assassin used Miss Salome."

Byron looked at this situation, and after a moment's hesitation, he seemed to be seriously considering their suggestion. Suddenly, he gave a strange smile to "Grand Duke Cosimo":
"You were pouted by Louis XI."

Even though he had lived for a thousand years and had a perfect character, he couldn't help but feel a huge shock when he heard these words.

Without thinking about how Byron knew this secret, or how much he knew about himself, he forced a smile and said:

"Are you talking to me? You must have the wrong person."

Byron turned a deaf ear to him and repeated solemnly:

"You were pouted by Louis XI."

"I haven't been to the Iris Kingdom in nearly ten years. Your Majesty, please don't make such jokes."

"You were slapped by Louis XI"

No matter how "human traitors" argue, Byron just said this.

The members of Ferdinand's family also noticed something was wrong and could not help but shut up. They could feel that the atmosphere on the ship was becoming increasingly weird.

Same people but different fates.

Previously, Byron encountered Salome, while the rapist encountered Louis XI, and the consequences were completely different.

After three sentences.

When Byron finally named the names:
"Mercurius, son of Jupiter, you have been slapped by Louis XI."

Even a false god who has lived for a thousand years would no longer have the idea of ​​using Ferdinand's family as a shield.

Or maybe it's because he has lived for a thousand years that he cares so much about such things.

Mercurius's rationality finally broke.

"Ahhh Byron Lancaster, I should have killed you when you started the war for the throne with the House of York!"

Subconsciously, I wanted to write him to death using the "History of the Silver Continent".

The "divine side" is stirring again.

After he reacted, a flash of light appeared on his body, and a parchment book with a black cover appeared. On the cover was written "Divine Comedy", written by Dante!
