Seeing this, the [Guardian Knight] Bruch, who knew how to observe words and feelings, would of course not continue to get in the way here, and hurriedly gestured to those pirates around him.

Everyone immediately covered their mouths and quietly retreated.

"Huh? What's the problem? ”

Byron looked at the girl behind her, who seemed a little nervous.

Violet stood in front of Byron, who had grown much taller during this time, and looked up, finally plucking up the courage to ask the question that she had endured for a long time.

"Mr. Good Citizen, are you willing to become a true permanent citizen of Iron Anchor Bay and be the first mate of my [Flaming Rose]?"

It's so suspenseful, Byron almost blurted out the sentence "You're a good person".

Others can't resist this temptation, but he can.

It's just that even if it's not the imagined situation, this first mate position really can't be given to her.

Without him, he is purely afraid that the life of this Wanmin princess is not hard enough!

Even if she didn't backstab her, she would definitely not be able to resist the endless bad luck.

"Miss Artist, although I would like to promise you too, it's just that the destiny of that layer of holy relics on my body requires Lancaster not to live under people"

It hurts too much to refuse directly, and Byron can't explain how [entry: Henchman] came about.

The [Iron Nail of Destroying the Country] can only be pushed out again, under the pretext that the side effects of this holy relic are not allowed.

"I see, I took the liberty of it.

Besides, you Lancaster couldn't have spent the rest of your life in this little Iron Anchor Bay.

I have my mission, and you naturally have your responsibility. ”

After Violet learned Byron's true identity, she didn't have much hope.

After really getting the answer, I also let go of one thing and breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, the Yorks, the traitors of the Bay people, have always been our common enemies.

I look forward to continuing to fight side by side with you in the future, Mr. Good Citizen. ”

The girl smiled and tilted her head, and stretched out a jade-white little finger to him childishly.

"Of course, Miss Artist."

Byron smiled in return, and reached out to hook her.

The anchor between the two is visibly stronger.

"However, although I can't be your first mate, would you like to be the honorary crew member of the [Golden Deer]?"

Outlaw Maniac: "As a guiding light for the fanatics, you have insight into the law and can protect your crew with the Ten Commandments of Pirates."

When facing the Lawr of Hattings, your team will never again be your underbelly. ”

For criminals, with this layer of protection, it is easy to escape the judgment of the law of the Black Courts, as long as they are not added to the sword and lead bullet, they can do whatever they want!

[Precept 5: A woman shall not join the ranks, and if a crew member takes a woman to sea, he will be put to death, except for those who are extraordinary. 】

Although Violet, whether she is a third-order [craftsman] or a princess of the Wanmin, it is impossible for Violet to really board the ship and go to sea with him at this stage.

But it is not a problem to become an honorary crew member, occupy a place in advance, and enjoy the protection of extralegal fanatics.

Without a second thought, Violet agreed.

He signed his name on the tome [The Ten Commandments of Pirates] that Byron had taken out.

It is also from this thick book of more than 100 pages that we can see Byron's ambition.

This alone is 800 miles stronger than eating and waiting for other pirates to die in Iron Anchor Bay.

Only when he saw that it said "sheep, the only use is for eating" on it, his cheeks were slightly red and he gave him a small white look.

"And what are your plans next?"

Hurriedly changed the topic and covered up the past.

"I'm ready to go on an overseas flight"

Byron was just about to paint her a picture of himself.

"Captain, news has just come from the Lighthouse Federation that the Admiralty of Hattings has issued a call order.

Here's our chance. ”

Bruch hurried back with a document, and his face as cold as marble also brought a hint of joy.

Byron took it, glanced at it, and handed it to Violet.

"Didn't we deliberately let go of a bunch of privateers and free pirates on the periphery?

They are all the ones who approve of [Executioner] Bill the most.

If there is only one [Golden Deer] left after the war, it will definitely seem too abrupt.

But now that I'm joining in, maybe for the sake of Redbeard's 'merit list', not only will it not arouse suspicion, but it will also be able to get a good position. ”

The last sentence is meaningful:

"I can't be your first mate, but I'm happy to be a privateer captain under Edward IV."

Kingston, the capital of the Hattings, Sweet Springs Palace.

Mid-November has already ushered in the first heavy snow after the new owner.

Fluttering snowflakes stained the palaces and even the entire royal capital a pure white.

But for the same snow, the mood of the people watching it is different, and the experience is completely different.

If Edward IV and his vassals had seen it the other day, they would have thought that the whole world was the color of a white rose, and there would have been no trace of Lancaster.

But now, a few days later, when I see it, I only feel that the white expanse is really clean, and my eyes are full of desolation, just like the white carnations at the funerals of various nobles.

During this time, Edward IV was a little busy.

He frequently invited his important ministers to the palace to discuss how to deal with the current bad situation.

Coming to his private study today is the newly appointed Marshal of the Kingdom and his reliable ally, the Earl of Warwick.

"Your Majesty, the decree of the Pope's accountability has already been delivered.

The [Judge Knights] of the Inquisition will also arrive in the royal capital tomorrow, how should we deal with it?

The Archbishop of Canterbury should not be able to withstand this pressure, right? ”

Edward IV pinched his forehead hard, and any king instinctively loathed at such an institution that usurped royal authority.

But he didn't have the courage to say to the church: No.

He did have the covert support of some powerful people in the church, but there were some taboos that could not be put on the surface.

"The new Archbishop of Canterbury is just the Church's liaison with us.

In the 'Council of God's Cathedral of St. Peter's Cathedral of the Holy Silver Empire, we have more weighty supporters.

Find a scapegoat to give an explanation to the people in the court, do you still need me to teach you this kind of thing? ”

The admiral hesitated slightly:

"Then put the matter on General Norwich and Justice Dude Wright?"

Edward IV nodded expressionlessly:

"I will order them to be stripped of all their titles as punishment.

Summoning the 'Kraken Touch' with forbidden knowledge is their personal act and has nothing to do with the kingdom, and that's the ultimate fact. ”

After making this ruthless decision, he inadvertently saw the Lighthouse Weekly that had been sitting on the table.

The above sentence 'perfidious people must be extra careful' is particularly glaring.

After a moment of dimming, the eyes became extremely sharp.

'I did nothing wrong! ’

Henry V of the House of Lancaster once established a great cause, and the fortunes of the country fell again in the generation of Henry VI of the Mad King.

But Henry VI ultimately lost the throne not because he was a crazy unconscious king.

On the contrary, he was a sage recognized by both friend and foe.

He was thrifty, refined, kind-hearted, caring, educational, and built many universities, but he had little interest in war.

A stalwart of the orderly and good camp.

But this kind of person is often not ruthless enough, and is obviously not as suitable as a character from the orderly and evil camp to be a king.

His eventual defeat in the Hundred Years' War for Iris also became the trigger for the Thirty Years Civil War.

Edward IV folded the newspaper and threw it into a drawer, and listened to the Admiral Earl Warwick continue:

"Your Majesty, the Strait Fleet has suffered heavy losses, and now we need to replenish our warships and sailors, and the kingdom's finances are in a worrying situation.

At this stage, the large-scale development of privateers can solve our immediate problems.

Not only do you not need to spend your own money, you can get a number of useful armed forces, but you can also continuously reap a lot of wealth.

I heard that the Kingdom of Choice, with its own fleet, brought back gold and silver from the Bantaan Islands in tons and tons.

Privateers must have a lot to do if they go to the ocean-going routes.

As long as we grab a few of their ships, we will have the cost of building ships.

The Admiralty has issued a call for privateers.

This is the current application from the Captain of the Liberty Pirates, please take a look"

In several lists, the well-known [Executioner] Bill is prominently listed, and his position is very high.

"The Strait Fleet suffered serious losses, which led to an urgent turn in our overseas policy.

I propose that a group of prestigious and powerful pirate captains be selected and that you grant a charter to recruit ships and sailors on their own to form an official privateer.

He was even awarded the title of 'Pirate General'.

It is possible to replace the naval fleet overseas and take on part of the work of colonial escort. ”

Edward IV saw that he had no objection and stamped the seal on the document to take effect.

"Let's do it.

[Historians] tell us that the first explosion of human wealth began with the learning of farming and animal husbandry.

When the time comes, the crops will ripen, the cattle and sheep will give birth to their own calves, and the vegetables will continue to grow after cutting off the stubble, so that the efficiency of wealth accumulation will be greatly improved.

The same is true for pirates.

When a group of pirates have higher pursuits besides drinking, gambling, and playing with women, we just need to wait for them to grow up on their own and then go to harvest. ”

The young king looked up, his eyes full of ambition.

"The [astronomers] of the Tower Sequence have long confirmed that our world is a giant ball.

Beyond our Old World, there is an infinite expanse of the world.

I assert that the future of this world lies above this sea, if only we occupy enough land overseas.

Then in the land of Hattings, it is possible to realize that the sun has set in one colony, and the sun has just risen in another.

Mr. Warwick, you will join me in witnessing the kingdom of Hattings grow into such a powerful nation! ”
