Pirate Kingship-Chapter 681 - 466: Probability Dice, Golden Deer Enters the Game (6000)_3
Compared to him, our utilization of slaves obviously isn't high enough.
However, even the Kingdom of Castilia often comes to us for loans when waging wars. As long as there's money, what can't be bought?
Now, all we need to do is cheer, for the first piece of land seized by the Monetary Restoration Party is as solid as gold!
As that "human nail" was screwed into the ground clockwise, the originally turbulent Source Tide also gradually calmed down; the effect was immediate.
Seeing this, everyone cheered in unison:
"When money speaks, truth keeps silent!"
"In the future, the Remit People will hold the highest status in this New Continent!"
Among the other Colonizers, there were other small forces without the ability to pioneer independently; they purchased the new inventions of the Puppet King and made their colonial ventures flourish.
However, they failed to notice that each human nail was connected to an invisible thread that stretched all the way to the northwest corner of the Continent.
It was clearly a "backdoor" set up by the Puppet King.
Even if this backdoor was never activated, it could be triggered passively upon certain keywords, automatically revealing its location.
For example: "I have a gold mine here," "I have an iron ore here," "I have Whale Oil here."
And if the Puppet King ever really wanted to do something in the future, these small forces, who didn't even have a Kingly Title, would probably be utterly powerless to resist.
At the same time, on the other side of the Continent, aboard the Quasi-Legendary Warship "Castle of Dreams", the just-awoken Puppet King Louis stood by the window, swaying his wine glass.
He sensed the "human nails" being driven into the vast land before him and nodded with satisfaction.
To become a complete [King's Title], one needs to achieve a Trinity of King, Law, and State.
Although the size of the territory is secondary, of course, the larger the area, the better, and the more citizens, the better.
With my 'Artificial Lantern People' as substitutes, the role of The Sea Hunter, Saint Byron, becomes redundant. Even if I backstab him, it wouldn't affect my interests in the Chasm Trench.
It would be best to turn him into a puppet, swallow the number one island in one fell swoop, and then have him continue to guard my domain.
From now on, the World Rifts scattered overseas will no longer obstruct the expansion of my Kingdom's territory.
The one holding the strings never performs on stage. As long as I help my daughter Juana ascend to the throne smoothly, I will be the king above kings, the king of kings.
The entire Kingdom of Castilia, and even the whole world, will become puppets dancing in my hands.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK...
A sudden knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened, and a figure in black, wearing an owl mask, stepped in as silently as a feather.
This was a higher-ranking assassin profession known as the Night Owl Death Knight.
He was also a member of the "Night Owl Court," the secret force tasked with doing the dirty work for the Puppet King, much like Byron's "Storm Cloak" unit, whose members were Phantom Blades.
The Puppet King's spirits lifted at his appearance, and he hurriedly asked, "Have you found the Guardsmen squad transporting that fertility Totem God?"
The Night Owl Death Knight knelt on one knee and shook his head, but before his master could become angry, he revealed his findings: "Your Highness, although we haven't found that particular squad of Guardsmen, we have ascertained the identity of their leader from the Royal Capital. It has been confirmed that Plan One is doomed to failure, and we suggest immediately initiating Plan Two."
Enrique IV, 'the Incompetent', like the Habsburg family, coveted the forbidden knowledge of perpetuating his lineage more than that of immortality.
Originally, Puppet King Louis's first plan was to silently locate the Guardsmen squad escorting the Totem God, leave them in the colonies, and prevent the birth of the King's own offspring. This plan, however, had evidently gone awry.
"Who is it?"
Hearing his subordinate's words, Louis's brows furrowed; in his heart, he already had a suspicion about the escort's identity.
"Your Highness, it's The King's Right Hand, Lady Green, Angelia!"
The name uttered by his subordinate did not surprise the Puppet King, though his heart sank ever so slightly. He knew every detail about the sixteen The King's Right Hands beside his brother and, of course, understood why this Night Owl Death Knight was certain that Plan One was no longer feasible.
Lady Green, Angelia, was one of the Fourth Order Hero Knights among The King's Right Hands.
The "Dragon" she tamed using her Dragon Taming Technique was a First-Class Holy Relic passed down by the Bayfolk: "Aurora's Guard."
"Legend has it that the aurora borealis is the reflection from the armor worn by Valkyries, which is why it shines with such brilliant light, and 'Aurora's Guard' is that very armor. Once clad in this armor, one becomes part of the light, achieving Incandescent Dust with the entire world and light itself, rendering divination completely ineffective. It is said that only by conceptually severing the Great Power of the aurora can one find the true body beneath the armor and harm its wearer."
Given that this operational squad is assisted by such a Sacred Relic, even if a Fifth Order Legend were sent to find them, there's a good chance they won't be found.
At this point, the reporting Night Owl Death Knight continued, "However, Your Highness, while we were gathering information, we also heard some good news. Princess Isabella has also dispatched her large merchant fleet to join the Treasure Fleet. It's already halfway overseas, preparing to transport the Spices, gold, and silver she has accumulated from her various estates and mines in Havana back to the homeland. If Plan Two succeeds, not only can we devour the wealth of the treasury, but we can also cause Princess Isabella, a rival for the throne, to suffer a massive loss."
