Pirate Kingship-Chapter 768 - 490: Wild Hunt King, Offensive and Defensive Reversal (3)

After a moment of surprise, one had to admit that if the deeply hidden Princess Isabella rose to power, she might be even more formidable than the Puppet King.

She could very well become a powerful rival in the rise of the Kingdom of Hightins.

However, Byron's current role is nothing more than a troublemaker, stirring up the situation, and he can't control whether it ends in a flavorful or tasteless victory.

As long as his power is strong enough, no matter who the final opponent is, he can decisively sweep them away. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Turning back to look at the battlefield nearly cleared, there was no trace left of the incarnation [The Sea Hunter] and the Seventh Fleet of Hightins.

The sea battle lasted much longer than an hour, far exceeding the cooldown period for the large species of Sea Monster Barnacle Crab's "Deep Sea Leap".

While the Castle of Dreams escaped using the sextant, [The Sea Hunter] led his forces and a small part of the Treasure Fleet "vanished into the sky".

The Mad Hunt, posing as the Jagger King Vessel for five minutes, and his pirates "couldn't catch up", allowing them to leave successfully.

The Seventh Fleet took away more than twenty treasure ships; over eighty remained, yet to be valued, but it's easy to guess it's an astronomical figure.

Money, however, is the least important gain.

These large Garen sailing ships from the Treasure Fleet, once unloaded, mostly would be sent to the shipyard in Torrent Fortress for deck modification.

Removing the upper structures and open decks, refitting them for full artillery, transforming the cumbersome and hard-to-operate Garen sailing ships into flat-deck heavy cruisers.

Much faster than building new ships from scratch.

It shouldn't take long before they could obtain a heavy cruiser fleet that traverses the seven seas freely, possibly earning their legion title!

Moreover, [The Sea Hunter] possesses Yucatan Island on the westernmost side of the Bantan Archipelago, boasting a population of ten million from the Sacred Golden Empire;

The Mad Hunt controls the easternmost side of the Bahama Archipelago, as the Pirate King with a direct lineage Bay Citizens Pirates, controlling the strongest pirate group on the sea currently.

It's like two powerful hands, one on the left and one on the right, firmly grasping the maritime throat between the Old Continent and the Southern Continent.

This throat, for the entire world, is equivalent to connecting the Suez of Asia, Malacca, Hormuz of the Persian Gulf, and a certain Eastern Great Country which "can't be spared at all".

The importance can be imagined.

Byron's eyes sparkled:

"Even if we do nothing in the future, just by charging shipping fees with the heavy cruiser fleet we can sustain the population of an entire country.

Moreover, [The Golden Deer's] transformation is imminent.

This Sacred Relics warship, acting as the main force, successfully pillaged the Treasure Fleet and defeated the old era's [Ox City], achieving the first 'impossible' of its legendary promotion ceremony.

It has clearly shown signs of spirituality emergence, and with another similar feat, it should be able to completely take that step.

Ask what a pirate ship should steal that compares to stealing a country?

Soon, soon our entire family will advance to Fourth Order, and at a crucial moment, even be promoted to the fake [King's Title]; once the fleet is ready, we'll immediately return to steal a country!

It's now October of 1472, and the counterattack timing at the latest will be by the end of next year."

The forces took a big leap forward, and Byron's personal power hasn't stopped at the Fourth Order.

[Hidden: Treasure Fleet Crisis, Historical Influence 28] reached one hundred percent decryption rate and gained a new entry [Forget Everything].

The effect is: "Able to wipe others' titles along with everyone's memories, making everyone believe those breathtaking feats were actually done by you.

Equivalently a title thief.

But the limit is the legendary degree of the target is equivalent, and only one title can be equipped at a time. Stealing someone else's title automatically replaces your original title."

If at the beginning, this is clearly a divine-level skill for identity replacement, eyeing a Dog Landlord to steal a title leads to instant success.

But for Byron now, it's not even worth considering as a leftover, and more like poison.

His two main titles [The Mad Hunt] and [The Sea Hunter] have reached 30 points already, with extremely strong capabilities.

Once [Forget Everything] is used, wouldn't all this long-time effort be for nothing?

Immediately, using the entry [Why not eat meat porridge?], converting this "idle entry" into spirituality.

Before today's breakthrough, Catherine's spirituality was 15, Byron and Violet both at 16.8.

After three successive breakthroughs, and this entry's refill, they all reached a unified 17.2, firmly stepping towards Fifth Order.

Meanwhile, the legendary degree of [The Mad Hunt] also smoothly surpassed the 30-point threshold amidst the pirates' repeated cries of "Pirate King" and "Uncrowned King".

The title ability [Mad Hunt Legion] gets strengthened again.

"The legendary Mad Hunt has never been a single person, but a legion.

Led by the Wild Hunt King, they appeared in hordes riding black warhorses...

No matter where they go, they bring storm, war, and death!"

Ability one, [Undead Servant]:

"Every enemy killed by you and your followers will have their soul stripped, turned into [Undead Servant], joining the Mad Hunt Legion you command.

The stronger they were in life, the more fear you instilled in them, the stronger their combat power after death.

They retain all combat instincts and can become the best executor of your will.
