Chapter 178: Welcome... The era of the Great Pirates
"Miserable, really miserable."
Byron took one last glance at his superior, Major General Newman, Bill's father-in-law, and withdrew his gaze from the [Fat Dragon] who had already eaten the geoduck and was fighting bloodily.
Back on the [Golden Deer], I couldn't put it down and rubbed the contract conch.
"Look at you, not only did you not retreat behind everyone at first, but you also rushed forward, especially when the Barbary pirates still had hole cards.
Your Excellency Major General, I really didn't want to trap you so early, now you can't get out of the pit yourself, right? ”
As a qualified behind-the-scenes mastermind, after setting the stage for the two protagonists and the supporting characters who accidentally entered, you don't have to see the ending with your own eyes, and you know that it will definitely be a good scene.
Byron didn't have the quirk of a criminal returning to the scene of a crime and appreciating his craft.
If he is caught by the bitter master, won't he become a clown who dies like the villain talking too much?
However, he also knew that in this kind of big melee, unless he was besieged by everyone, as long as he was bent on fleeing for his life, there was a high probability that the transcendent in the middle sequence would not die.
There is a high possibility that the strength of his subordinates will be lost.
Byron felt that at this time, maybe not only the West Wind Express, but even the business of the Pioneer Pilot Military Dispatch Company could be started at the same time.
At this time, there was also a riot in the combined fleet, which had suddenly undergone a shocking change.
"That Barbary pirate just said that their large army also went to Campeche Bay, doesn't that mean that the two overlords of the Old Continent have already gone to war?"
"The general is not here, what are we going to do now?"
"Do you want to go to the colonies to pick up bargains?"
The remaining naval fleet of the Kingdom of Hattings and the privateer fleet of the pirate generals also lost their backbone and were somewhat overwhelmed.
One of the pirate generals in the fleet, the Throat Cutter, suddenly proposed:
"Since that boiled duck of the Barbary pirates flew, we made up for the loss with the Castilian island of Taimanbrac.
Guys, it's a once-in-a-lifetime situation, and it's much better than our original plan to sneak up on the bargain.
Since the Star-Moon Empire has started a war with Castile, one of the two tigers fighting each other will inevitably be injured, or even both will lose.
This is a good time for us to rise up. ”
His proposal was immediately echoed by everyone, and the group turned to Tyman Brac, who had been the base for the Castilian advance and had stockpiled a large amount of supplies.
There was no suspense in the course of the battle, and the remaining personnel of Castile were in despair.
Immediately, Byron, the titular lord, was asked to take over the place again, and the land was distributed on the spot with the transfer money of a gold coin according to the agreement.
During this period, they also received information from the top management of various families.
"The Armada has been attacked by the Barbary pirates who have been planning for a long time, and the Castilians have suffered heavy losses and have fallen to the absolute inferior.
It is only a matter of time before a certain amount of strength is preserved and the collective defeat is lost.
It is estimated that for a considerable period of time, the control and defense of the colonies of the Bantaan Islands will be greatly reduced.
The new overlord may be the Star and Moon Empire, represented by the Barbary Pirates.
But they weren't a complete win either.
Barbarossa Hairing was raided by the angry Havana Governor Velázquez, and his injuries are unknown"
The news spread, and before the battle in the Gulf was over, all the major forces that had been suppressed by the Castilians for a long time ushered in a carnival.
Everyone knows that in the past, neither the Castile Kingdom nor the Star Moon Empire was easy to mess with.
Now that his strength has plummeted, countries don't mind falling into the well and taking advantage of his illness to kill him.
Beginning with Temanbrac, the Combined Fleet continued to plunder eastward along the colonies along the island of Havana.
At the same time, the sapphire sea, where the Bantaan Islands are located, is too large to have any intersection with the east-west route, and there are still countless forces that do not participate in the combined fleet.
Perhaps the warships did not dare to send them directly, but the privateers belonging to the major powers did not hesitate to rush to the colonies and even military ports of the Kingdom of Castile.
Don't dwell too much, grab a handful and run.
From Medialuna to Bettientes, from Trinidad City to Pinos, from Zapata Marsh to Batahuano Bay, most of the Bantaan Islands are in one pot.
When all the snowflakes start shaking, nothing can stop an avalanche from happening.
When the frenzy of war sweeps through every individual, even the will of the top will will be completely engulfed.
Once the chaos begins, even if Castile's military strength is restored, it will be difficult to intimidate the Quartet as it did in the past.
Byron had long since returned to the Tayman Islands, eating butter popcorn while watching a play.
"The premise of all this happening is that most of the fourth- and fifth-order orders have left their comfort zones and gone to the seas further south in order to make themselves go further.
This leaves a vacuum of interests that they do not look down on.
Whether it's me, Cortez the Conqueror, or Barbarossa Hairding the Blue-Haired of the Barbary Pirates, they all want to seize this opportunity to do something big. ”
He also clearly realized that the loss was only a small part of the strength of the two overlords of the Castile Kingdom and the Star Moon Empire.
The main force of the Invincible Armada is at least a third-class ship, and there is not one here, at most there are only a few more fourth-class ships than others.
The left hand of the king of the [Ocean Throne] is in a similar situation.
A fifth-order legendary-level beast tamer, most of his strength is on his own sea monster army, and the pirate ship is the foil.
The short period of force vacuum does not mean that the two families have broken their bones.
Back to his roots, Byron is still just a mediocre second-order pirate.
It has never been a conspirator who added fuel to the fire and pitted the two forces in one fell swoop.
But during this vacuum of great loss of strength between the two sides, Castile's merchant ships and colonies lacked protection, and the strongest group of pirates licked their wounds.
It will usher in a golden age of rapid expansion of the power of various countries.
"The next thing I want to do is to seize this fleeting God-given opportunity to manage the international port at my feet.
Once the established facts are reached, and the interests of enough people are swept away, even those fifth-order [kings] will no longer be able to change the status quo.
Only when the big tree falls, the small tree that grows under his feet can get enough rain and sunshine.
Now is also the only chance for the small forces to soar into the sky. ”
No one knows, everything just comes from Byron's big lie that the Taíno people are about to become extinct through the hands of the [Bird's Beak Epidemic Doctor].
He, the [Storm Knight], once again succeeded in turning his hands into clouds and his hands into rain.
Spirituality also turned its heels and broke through the 8-point mark.
Several mountains were moved above his head at once, and Byron's heart suddenly brightened.
"Since the Golden Deer came to the Bantaan Islands, it has been passively carried into the colonial torrent and pushed all the way forward.
I haven't had time to stop and enjoy the food, the sights, the myriad secrets of the overseas and the forbidden knowledge."
Facing the sea, spreading his hands, he whispered to himself and to the world:
"When a whale falls, everything is born.
Welcome to the era of the Great Pirates, where all rising stars have a chance to make their mark!
Although this is in the service of the public, so that all the oppressed people share the benefits equally.
But no thanks, I, Byron Lancaster, am just a-stirring stick of interest. ”
