Chapter 106: Single-handedly Fighting the Sea Monster and Shaking the Fleet
"Boom——!"
In the midst of the shrill screams, the thick tentacle that was at least five or six meters long fell to the deck of the Golden Deer.
The constant writhing because of the pain looks so fresh, and the sashimi is sure to make the tongue explode!
What's even better is that the [Dragon Dung Elixir] hasn't been contaminated here.
Can be eaten raw!
"Let's go up and grab the captain's dinner."
The second mate Gus and the boatswain Eight Fingers led a group of marines to suppress the tentacles as soon as possible, and they all knew that their captain was good at this.
Byron's attention was not on that.
The heartiness of swinging that sword just now made him suspect that he seemed to have once again touched the swordsmanship realm of the higher level of [Storm Sword Technique].
The last time I felt this way was when Valhalla was forced to the point of death by a sling.
"As long as I do it a few more times, I should be able to completely grasp that feeling of divine help, and let [Sword Mastery] step into the realm of 'flow'."
While Byron, the captain, was in full swing, the others were not idle.
The two-speared squid, which let out a sharp scream, continue to attack.
Little Hans, who had been guarding the side of the ship, in order to wait for his captain to return on the shark, did not drop the potion, and finally smashed a medicine bottle on the side of the ship.
But this is not the most common [dragon dung potion], but the juice of fish poison wood.
Superior goods provided by Violet, a third-order craftsman.
The raw material is a fruit called Turquoise.
After blending, it can suffocate the fish, but the fish meat is not affected in any way, so it is also called fish poison wood and sea poison tree.
Anything that breathes with its gills will be affected by it, but not with its lungs.
The flow of venom-carrying water through the gills of the fish will poison the other party, and even if it is diluted with a large amount of clean seawater for a long time, it will become weak for a while.
At this time, yellow-green dung water also continued to pour in from the direction of the Grand Fleet, and the taste was so strong that it was a little spicy to the eyes.
The two-speared squid also quickly realized that someone had poisoned the dung water that was already unbearable for the sea monster!
Let it gradually become unable to breathe.
Faced with the danger of death, he could no longer care about hunting, and hurriedly abandoned the [Golden Deer] again and swam towards the clean waters far away from the Grand Fleet.
Under normal circumstances, an encounter between a human and a sea monster would have ended.
In naval battles, it is difficult for even warships to sink each other, and most of them resort to broadside battles to decide the winner, not to mention the more mobile sea monsters.
Unless a third-order transcendent personally intervenes, repelling them is the best outcome.
But this time with Byron was different.
The world's fastest three-masted ship [Golden Deer] immediately threw off the other supporting privateers like arrows from the string and chased after them.
The light from the [Guiding Light] also shifted with the battlefield and came to the top of their heads.
It was as if the stage was lit up, turning them into the focal point of the entire fleet.
Byron himself held the steering wheel in his own hand, and at the same time struck a right full rudder, he shouted ahead:
"The sea monster in front, hurry up and catch it!"
All he could do was a splash of water from a few tentacles.
"Very good, you dare not surrender, there is a way to die, hatred mark!"
A mark that is difficult to see with the naked eye instantly appeared on the body of the big squid.
The bow and arrow in the bow of the [Bow Statue: Avenger Angel] also shot a ray of light, enveloping all the guns on his own warship, giving them temporary blessings.
30% projectile modifier increases hit rate by 30% in disguise.
Originally, the promotion ceremony was only about the indigenous gunner Wyndotte, who had hit three shells of the enemy ship in a row, and suddenly came to his senses.
"Starboard loading, shotgun canisters, target small two-gun squid, the whole ship is on fire!"
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Seven six-pounder cannons on one side and one 32-pounder Caron gun fired together.
Continuous artillery fire roared, and orange-red firelight illuminated the foggy sea.
A metal storm with the heavy smell of gunpowder smoke suddenly covered all the space for the sea monster to dodge.
Even though it instinctively hid in the water, it ate a lot of projectiles because it fell into a weak state of not being able to breathe, and its screams became more and more terrible.
Scary with a high hit rate.
"Excellent! Reload and continue the pursuit. ”
At the same time, there was a blood-colored gleam in the depths of Byron's eyes.
Beneath the surface, 20 man-eating sharks flick their tails and slash at the squid.
They followed Byron, the master, through one naval battle after another, and ate buffet meal after buffet.
I don't know how many transcendents I have eaten.
It's like a group of adolescent children, growing in size every day, every day.
The largest one has reached 10 meters, and the others are on average 7 meters long.
Maybe one day, a real [sea monster] will suddenly be born in it, breaking through the limits of the race!
On the other hand, the fish poison wood on the double-speared squid gradually attacked, which also made it less and less able to resist.
Even if you wave your tentacles and send a shark flying, you will be bitten by more sharks.
And while a group of man-eating sharks entangled the big squid and bit it frantically, forcing it to resurface.
Rumble!
Seeing the opportunity, Wyandott fired again decisively.
The second shot shaved off half of the triangular fins on the opponent's head.
The third shot hit the bull's-eye, and the solid bullet of the 32-pounder gun even forcibly shot out the sea clams in the opponent's head, tearing the entire head to pieces.
"Roar! We won! ”
"Long live, long live the captain!"
Cheers rang out in the sky.
In particular, Wyandot hit three shots in a row with precision.
The gunnery notes shine brightly, and the promotion ceremony is complete.
To the great surprise of others, he was the first to achieve extraordinary inauguration ahead of Eight Fingers and Little Hans, who were old enough to follow Byron.
Promoted to the first-order squire level of the Lighthouse Sequence [Gunnery Expert]!
Not only did he gain Byron's coveted [Extraordinary Endurance], but he also gained additional [Military Weapon Mastery] (focusing on guns) and [Precision].
Even if you are a first-time learner, you will be able to use any military weapon without a teacher.
Especially when using ranged weapons such as muskets, artillery, bows, and bed crossbows, you can instinctively grasp the shooting elements and greatly increase the hit rate.
Seeing that his man-eating sharks began to eat the sea monsters, Byron couldn't help but secretly say that it was a pity:
"The Wild Hunting Legion can only target enemies at the moment, and if even the souls of these sea monsters can be co-opted, then it will really make a fortune."
He can't eat the rest of the meat, and the spirit doesn't even accept the Wild Hunt Legion, which is really a big waste.
Let this miser, who calculates every drop of blood, feel like a knife.
However, because the "Kraken Touch" has been raging in the North Sea some time ago, even the [Wild Hunt] that induced it to get out of control has also become famous.
The legend of [Wild Hunt] is growing all the time.
In just half a month, it has grown to 23 o'clock, and 25 o'clock is just around the corner from the next promotion.
I just don't know how long the Kraken's touch will be wreaking havoc.
At most, it can only reach the fifth-order [King's Horn], but the Silver Law has seven layers.
Byron did not believe that the Church would let the Kraken Touch go unto its own home base, and that it should only be a matter of time before it was resolved.
Fleet Commander Rear Admiral Elsie Newman and Third Order [Navigator] James have also been keeping an eye on this battlefield.
Seeing this amazing result, the major general couldn't help but ask the attendant officer beside him curiously:
"A battle is really beautiful, whose subordinate is this, so brave?"
"General, I happened to have read the filing documents for this batch of privateer licenses.
The person who directly commanded the battle should be the deputy of the pirate general [Executioner] Bill, and the captain of the [Golden Deer] pirate ship, Byron Tudor.
Although he is only a rookie pirate who is not well-known, he performed well in the Battle of Iron Anchor Bay.
It is said that it was the only pirate ship in Valhalla Valhalla that dared to break through the siege of the Heroic Spirits to rescue the [Nemesis].
The name of loyalty is well known among pirates. ”
In fact, after signing the contract, Byron received a blank "Privateer License" and more than a dozen copies of it.
You can fill in the name on it as you like, as long as you report it to the Admiralty afterwards.
The first name to be filled in is Captain of the Golden Deer: Byron Tudor.
The original function of a privateer license was to legalize private crime.
To make a truly civilized person sound unbelievable is the logic of a robber.
But this is the case in the whole old continent at present, where the major sea power countries have gone from questioning the people of the bay, to understanding the people, to becoming the people.
Even on the basis of the individual raids of the Bay people, it has evolved into a national-level pirate group.
Byron was skeptical at times.
Is the prophecy of the god of the wild hunt talking about the people of the bay, or the countries of the continent that are calmly burning and looting overseas according to the will of the Creator?
And the reason why the identity of "Byron Tudor" came to the foreground was also his own considerations.
Perhaps the role of [Executioner] Bill is the heaviest, and he will be treated best if he develops under the command of the York family as a former henchman of the Red Beard.
But this is only about the present, not about the future.
Byron's ambitions never stopped at a small Golden Deer, or even a pirate general who had already arrived.
It's about taking the crown of the House of York!
"Byron Tudor" can't always put on someone else's false vest and pin his future subordinates, career, and achievements on Bill.
At that time, as the stall gets bigger and bigger, the burden will become heavier and heavier, and the fake vest may become a real skin that cannot be removed.
It's better to start from scratch with the clean fictional identity of "Byron Tudor".
Therefore, this identity must also slowly establish its own prestige.
Let the identity of [Executioner] Bill be at the forefront, and handle the affairs related to the York family with a loyal image.
Wait until he is drained of his value, then throw it aside and replace it completely.
Just like now, with the fame of the entire fleet, the captain of the Golden Deer, "Byron Tudor", has also begun to have his own legend.
The commander, Major General Elsie Newman, naturally did not know Byron's plan, but he had already seen his performance, his eyes flickered for a while, and he suddenly commanded:
"Tomorrow I will invite this pirate captain to the flagship, and I will say that I have something to entrust to him."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
