Royal Colony of Castile, Havana.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the scouts of the intelligence services have submitted a summary report of the third full investigation.

According to their statistics, there are at least 37 city-states in the rainforest, and all the villages and tribes attached to them have become dead cities.

The few survivors who survived the smallpox virus returned to the depths of the jungle and degenerated into primitive nomadic tribes.

The range of activities of the [Bird's Beak Plague Doctor] has reached as far as the city of Achiapa in the territory of the Taya Empire in the south of Yucatan, and there are countless infected people.

The plague's pattern of slaughtering cities is irreversible. ”

"Your Excellency the Doge, the Tarsal God has appeared near the city of Papantra, located on the coast of Campeche Bay, only 200 kilometers from the original Azk royal city.

Our decoy force, all of which have the ability to maneuver at high speeds, has succeeded in holding back the cursed spirit. ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, the 'Invincible Armada' that departed ahead of schedule, and the Havana Cathedral's generation of True Cross holders, have arrived in Campeche Bay.

He is currently moving towards the Tarsal God.

As long as this last problem is solved, we can let our large corps and subsequent colonial pioneer groups land. ”

"Your Excellency the Governor"

The Attendants of his cronies came in and out, sending urgent messages one after another to Diego Velázquez, the governor of Havana.

The previous information was all expected by him, and it was not until he heard that the trace of the [Tarsal God] had been locked on, that the Governor, who was reading the newspaper, responded:

"The generals were informed that they would begin their actions as soon as they arrived at the battlefield, and I would then personally lead the guards of the Governor's Palace to the battlefield to support.

Strive to start the western movement before noon.

I'll spend the night in the palace of the Azk royal city, and I'll see the gold and the curse of the living dead! ”

At the dining table, the beautiful lady who was cooking black tea for him shook her hands slightly and accidentally spilled water on the table.

"Diego, are you going to go to war yourself? I've lost Cortez, can you"

After the lady exclaimed, she realized that it was rude to call him by his name in front of the attendant, and corrected him again:

"Brother-in-law."

It was not his main lady who was taking care of the governor's house, but his wife's sister, Selena, the wife of Cortés the Conqueror.

This is clearly a standard aristocratic lady.

The chestnut curly hair, the fawn-like innocent eyes full of weak temperament, make people can't help but feel pity in their hearts, full of desire to protect her.

Especially the new widow not long ago, he still wears a small white flower on his chest to mourn his deceased husband, which is even more beautiful and moving.

After Cortés' death, the governor often went to comfort the unfortunate poor man, but when he comforted him, he comforted him where he should not have done (ch. 153).

In this current atmosphere in aristocratic circles, it is difficult to say that this lady Selena is unfaithful to her husband who has just died.

She is just driven by the pressure of survival, like a dodder attached to a tree, instinctively relying on the strong.

Even as the widow of Cortés the Conqueror.

Even though most of her family fortune had been sold by the former, she still had many estates, plantations, and properties scattered throughout Havana and other Castilian colonies.

There is no problem in satisfying one's own rich life.

Coupled with the intimate relationship with the Governor, there is no doubt that it is the most sought-after category in the marriage market.

It is the object of countless down-and-out nobles, knights, adventurers, and even a little white-faced head snatcher who wants to marry home.

Even if they accidentally buy one get one free, their brows will never be wrinkled.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the beauty, Governor Diego Velázquez was very distressed, grabbed her smooth little hand, and comforted her softly:

"Dear little Selena, don't worry about me.

I'm not as insatiable as Cortez, who wants to build the Golden Code to claim the crown of Azk.

Not even the person to whom the queen's throne is given is not your rightful wife.

But today's battle is a battle that we Castilians have an absolute advantage in, and you just have to wait at home for me to come back. ”

The woman in front of him was not the most beautiful of his seven or eight lovers.

But the additional identity bonus of "wife's sister" made his heart particularly hot and poured more love into her.

"But now many men in Havana are spreading rumors that I am an ominous woman who has brought bad luck to Cortés.

At the colonial party, a lot of men were like they were going to eat me.

I don't have the luxury of being like a sister to completely possess you, my love is very humble, as long as I leave a little place in your heart.

If you're not there, I'm afraid. ”

Seeing that the beauty was extremely attached to him like a restless fawn, the Governor couldn't help but pity her even more, and even left her sister behind completely.

However, the Governor did something to comfort her.

Spread out his left hand to this noble lady and said gently:

"Then, Selena, please give me a gold coin."

The latter didn't ask why, but scrambled to pull out a gold coin from a beautiful gem-encrusted pouch and put it in his palm.

At the same time, hundreds of golden illusory cards appeared in the palm of the governor's right hand, and they automatically cut the cards quickly.

Each card has a different pattern, contract conditions, text, price, and so on.

Eventually, most of the cards disappeared again, leaving only one card with a picture of a Heroic Warrior that read:

"Sander Borg; Mortal; Pledge: All the courage for the rest of your life; Value: £130;

The debt is paid off within one year, and the pledge is redeemable.

Current Status: The counterparty is dead and it is impossible to redeem the collateral. ”

Governor Velasquez closed the palm of his left hand and accepted the gold coin, while throwing the card in his right hand towards the lover in front of him:

"Selena pays a gold pound to the pawn shop, the deal is made, it is not a pledge, and it is sold!"

The latter was bathed in a golden light, and the expression on his face suddenly became much more confident and cheerful.

In the past, it was like a dodder seed, but now it suddenly has a little more strength like a cold winter plum.

"My dear, I have sold you the valor of an elite warrior, and I will be with you along with his courage.

How does it feel now? ”

The transcendent rank of the Silver Law itself represents a status in the world.

Without the corresponding transcendent level, it is impossible for a person to climb too high.

Viceroy Diego Velasquez, although not the transcendent ceiling of the Kingdom of Castile in its overseas colonies, is at least a third-order.

And even in the third order, the ability is also ranked in the top three gold yuan sequence [pawn merchant].

Take a look at the magic deal just now.

The objects they pawn and trade with are obviously not only real pledges, but also many more magical and even ethereal things.

Governor Velázquez stood up.

Mrs. Selena, whose temperament has changed greatly and regained confidence in her "brother-in-law", hurriedly stepped forward to tidy up the dress on her body for him, and handed over her cane and silk top hat.

At this time, Velasquez didn't look like he was going to war, but more like he was going to preside over a grand auction.

"I don't know if the [Wild Hunt] who took away the Golden Codex will appear this time.

It would be nice if I could solve this problem together this time.

I was able to use my advanced ability [Pawn Contract] at the third order to completely defraud this treasure and its ownership. ”

Syllable!

snapped his fingers.

Another golden card with a shadow on it suddenly appeared.

The shadow beneath his feet suddenly elongated into a thin black line, and then expanded into a black portal on the opposite wall.

Shadow Shadow can see the sprawling Aboriginal city opposite.

It turned out to be a shadow sorcery of the same system as the [Shadow Attack] used by the pirate general's throat cutter (Chapter 139).

And the grade is significantly higher.

I don't know which of his hapless "clients" came from.

Outside the gate, a group of elite guards directly under the governor also lined up in a neat queue to enter.

It also brought him another news:

"Your Excellency the Governor, there is news from the inside of the pirate city of Blacksail Harbor that the Barbary pirates are gathering in general.

The exact movement is unknown, is it possible that they are trying to fight us for that land? ”

Velasquez sneered without looking back:

"Whatever their purpose, it's too late to set off now.

They are near the island of Yucatan, and do not have their own forward base as a foothold, unless they can fly directly from the pirate city.

Otherwise, when they arrive, all that remains is to applaud us.

Moreover, in frontal combat, our armada is not afraid of any forces.

That Pirate King [Oceanic Throne] Barbarossa had already left the Sapphire Sea with his 'Giant Sea Monster - Deep Sea Hades'.

If the remaining Barbary pirates don't come, forget it, and if they dare to come, let this navy of the Star Moon Empire completely zero! ”

He stretched out his hand and slammed open the shadow gate in front of him, stepped into it with his own guards, and disappeared into the governor's palace in an instant.

Only in the ears of the attendants and lovers who caressed his chest and lifted his skirt to see him off, a lingering voice was left:

"Castile's westward march will begin with another hunt and slaying of the [Tarsal God].

All the rats who dare to challenge the overlord of the sea will eventually turn into powder! ”

At the same time.

In the pirate city of Black Sail Harbor, Byron, who extended his consciousness to the [Fat Dragon], was also a little confused.

Information about the mass destruction of the city-state has been reported for several days through the mouths of intelligence agents from all sides.

Unlike the all-out preparations of the Castilian fleet and the pioneer regiment, the Barbary pirates were too laid-back.

Vice-King [Blue-Haired] Barbarossa Hairing only gave one order to assemble and nothing else.

It was only today that they received the news that the Castilians had finally made their moves, and finally unhurriedly summoned everyone to the expedition.

A total of 300 pirate ships, large and small, were assembled.

[Blue hair] is dressed in fine clothes, with a golden knife at his waist, and stands on the bow of the flagship and only fourth-class ship [Siren].

Take off the three conch sticks hanging from your waist and put them to your mouth, and blow them vigorously one after the other.

Toot ——!

The sea in front of the pirate fleet rolled violently, and three behemoths under the water slowly surfaced.

Carapace, a giant pincer, a small pincer, eight giant legs

It was a three-headed [Large Sea Monster Fiddler Crab] with a body length of more than fifty meters, comparable to a second-class battleship!

As soon as they appeared, they began to dance together with the large pincers in their right hand.

A huge whirlpool was formed on the surface of the sea at high speed.

The water in the whirlpool suddenly layered, the upper layer was still clear and transparent, but the lower layer at the bottom of the whirlpool turned into a deep and mysterious blue.

It's like a gateway to the dark depths of the sea.

One of the lead ships in the fleet was the first to sail into the whirlpool, spinning around and suddenly disappearing the moment it touched the blue at the bottom.

Byron's pupils shrank suddenly.

"This is the 'Deep Sea Blue Hole' that created dozens of sky crashes over the countries of the Old World?"
