Chapter 261: Living Battleship, Bad News Arrives Suddenly
Byron silently pronounced in his heart the fate of a powerful nobleman in a kingdom.
It's like trying to kill a chicken, it's like an understatement, only if you want to or not, you can't do it.
This is not because he wants to be deliberately high-profile, but because his rapidly expanding strength no longer allows him to continue to drift with the crowd.
Now under the Vanguard Pilot Colonial Trading Company, there are already three official third-order transcendents of Byron himself, Violet, and Skeleton Knight Andrew.
Plus the [Dubler Heavy Swordsman] Quasi-Sword Saint Herman, this exhibitionist hunting servant who does not speak human words.
There is also a third-order [Shadow Spell] obtained from Velasquez, which can create a great wizard in a short period of time.
There are also three people in the team who are not far from this step.
Foodie [Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred has begun to refine his life's menu; Fairy Rigrell is ready to kick off the promotion ceremony;
Catherine is the fastest, and the countdown to promotion is on.
Once she is promoted to the third order, she will be blessed by the [Golden Law] in the international port, and she will be able to obtain the combat power of the fourth order in an instant.
Even if it's just a fourth-order floor-level player who's the same as [Blue Hair] and can only play Fox Fake Tiger Might, it's more than enough to defend the International Port.
Seeing that there are about to be eight middle sequences, this is not counting the possible third-order survivors in the Lancaster Party.
Byron naturally had the confidence to use some slightly more radical tactics without worrying about backlash.
"If you don't give it to me, then I'll take it myself.
I said that where there are bandits in Lancaster, there must be bandits.
If I went to suppress the bandits, I accidentally drove all the 'bandits' to Port Royal, and then accidentally failed to rescue them, resulting in the death of the entire Newman family.
No one should be able to blame me, right?
In order to suppress more and more bandits, I, the 'henchman' who vows to avenge the Newman family, it is also very reasonable to apply for a little more military spending and expand two more fleets, right?
Anyway, the governor and rear admiral I killed are not one or two, and they are very familiar with this! ”
The Newman brothers suddenly felt a cold in their necks for some reason.
"Take 10,000 steps back, the higher my transcendent rank, the stronger the effect of [Henchman] on my superiors, even if I don't launch a backstab, I will continue to be unlucky.
After I am promoted to the rank of third-order Storm Admiral, I am afraid that there will be a round of outbreaks soon.
I don't know if their little arms and legs can't stand it.
Just in time for me to get a new boss. ”
Byron didn't show anything out of the ordinary on the surface, as if he had reluctantly accepted Major General Newman's arrangement.
"Bill" slammed his glass on the table and spilled a little wine.
The dinner scene was suddenly a little cold, but some people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
It can only be said that the two cooperate tacitly, have an attitude and a little temper, and vividly interpret the anger of the two capable generals who are emotional and difficult to vent.
Not only did it not reach the extent of tearing his face on the spot, but it also made people feel that the young man was not deep in the city and was easy to handle, so he subconsciously let down some of his guard.
Unexpectedly, the two brothers were ready to use the knife to take advantage of themselves.
At this time, Mallory Barton, the quartermaster general next to him, who was also on the death list, also came to the round:
"Mr. Sea Hunter and Mr. Bill, the two are the general's henchmen and sons-in-law, and they should also be properly considerate of the general's situation.
Now saving everyone's net worth from the hands of [King Maker] Warwick is the top priority, and the two of you must focus on the overall situation! ”
As he spoke, he raised his glass and raised it towards the governor, changing the subject:
"I heard that some time ago, Young Master Buck of His Excellency the Governor's family went to the Celestial Circulation Belt with the kingdom's expedition ship [Twin Spear Ranger].
At present, the exploration progress is about to break through the windless belt and enter the southern hemisphere, which belongs to the first echelon of countries well-deserved.
Perhaps good news will come back soon, and perhaps when Your Majesty is happy, we will all be able to touch the light of Young Master Buck.
If you're lucky enough, you don't have to force everything. ”
Byron was well aware of the Newmans' family situation.
Knowing that Buck Newman is the second son of the Governor, a second-order [navigator] of the lighthouse sequence, he can be regarded as the only descendant in the family lineage who can be cultivated.
Compared to the eldest son who is the heir of the earl, the first order [Golden Eye] Milton of the Golden Yuan Sequence is better and more restless.
He was also seen by the Newman brothers as a rising star who had the potential to lead the family one step further.
This is usually the standard configuration of aristocratic families in various countries at present.
The eldest son with the right to inherit stabilizes the family business, and the second son has to work his own, and it is possible to die somewhere silently, but it is also possible to take off Huang Tengda suddenly.
The same is true of Lancaster, where the eldest son, Henry VI, is the Lawyer, and the second son, Prince of Sorenberg, is the Knight of the Storm.
In Byron's generation, his cousin, Prince Edward, was also a lawyer.
If nothing happens, it would be almost impossible for him, as the only son of the Prince, to take the route of Storm Knight, which requires adventure to be promoted.
Rather, there is a high probability that he will also be employed as a lawyer.
"Haha, it's just that they're just crossing the river with the Kingdom of Castile and the Barbary Pirates.
There are always more ways than difficulties, and although Buck's kid works hard, the merits of the kingdom's intelligence officers can't be completely erased.
Our York Party has only been receiving the colony for more than half a year, and we have to thank the Lancaster Party for laying a good foundation for us.
Let us pay tribute to the selfless Lancasters! Hahaha"
Hearing the quartermaster talk about his best son, Governor Jefferson also smiled, picked up his glass and just said a few polite words, and mocked his old rival by the way.
Buzz
A boutique [Echo Conch] on his waist for emergency contact suddenly chime.
Byron could see at a glance that this conch seemed to be of an extremely high level, and there should be no problem with real-time communication for thousands of kilometers.
"Huh? Is it our adventure ship [Twin Gun Ranger]? ”
Governor Jefferson didn't expect that he was still talking to his subordinates about his son and the expedition ship just now, and there was an immediate response from there.
The first reaction was whether there would really be any good news, and after connecting it, he hurriedly asked:
"Buck? Did you arraign you so late, did something happen? Could it be that you have discovered the New World? ”
However, the voice from the other side was not as he expected.
Instead, there was a very noisy and chaotic noise, which seemed to be a mixture of cannons, gunfires, and countless screams and exclamations:
"That thing is underwater, looking at the size of the black shadow, it should be a sea monster, quickly, drop all our dragon dung potions."
There was a loud "boom", and it seemed that some behemoth suddenly broke out of the water.
"O Creator, a ship, a ship, a ship that can dive!
What the hell is a ship flying the flag of the Kingdom of Choice and covered with barnacles and tentacles?! ”
Thundered
After a thunderous round of cannonballs, someone shouted:
"We were shot, there was a problem with those shrapnel, not cast-iron bullets, it seemed to be broken barnacles.
Will: What are you doing, and why are you attacking me all of a sudden? Ah——!h ”
"First mate, I'm sorry, my body is out of control. Help me, help me."
"It's so itchy, it hurts, I can't breathe"
Hearing that the other side was not good news, but obviously a very strange encounter, the governor didn't care that there were other people in the banquet hall, and hurriedly asked:
"Buck, Buck, speak! What's going on? ”
After a few more musket shots, and the sound of a human body falling to the ground.
Finally, a young man's voice sounded, and many of the people present immediately heard that familiar voice, which was the protagonist of the topic just now, Buck Newman.
"Father, it's not good, we were attacked in the south of the windless zone, where we were about to break out.
It was an enemy ship of the Kingdom of Choice, no, a big octopus with huge wrists and feet that could dive.
Just like the legendary [Legendary Battleships] that can subdue Nanami on their own, the enemy ship that can dive is alive, like a most fearsome hunter, cunning and ferocious.
I saw the name of the ship engraved on the hull, it was the elite adventure ship of the first echelon of the Kingdom of Castile, the Maywind! ”
Another round of cannon fire interrupted Barker's words, and by the time the conch was connected again, the opposite side had already changed its tone:
"Ah, barnacles, and coral, don't come to me
Ho ho snail oblivion has arrived."
Before he could say a few more words, his throat seemed to be gradually stuffed with something, and it was difficult to make a sound anymore, only a muffled whimper.
Governor Jefferson, who couldn't help at all, was sweating in a hurry, and called out again and again:
"What's wrong with you, Buck? Please, Buck, don't scare Daddy! ”
However, with a tooth-aching cracking of the hull of a massive ship, and the low roar of some kind of giant monster rang out.
There was no sound on the other side of the Echo Conch.
None of the guests here are ordinary people, and they naturally know what it means to encounter such a situation on the sea.
If nothing else, there will be no more living people on that boat.
Especially when they heard the strange word "Luo Annihilation", it seemed that there was a fishy smell of seawater, which made them subconsciously breathe.
I feel even more that something is wrong.
"Ahh My little buck——! ”
The governor, who was already not young, could not withstand the blow of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, his eyes suddenly rolled white, and he collapsed in his chair.
"Your Excellency the Governor."
A sudden bad news caused chaos in the banquet hall.
Byron didn't gloat at first, but was shocked by hearing the familiar name.
"The [Maywind] in the mouth of the Governor of Havana, Velasquez, has returned to the Celestial Circulation from the New World and just killed the [Twin Gun Ranger] that Buck Newman was riding?
What did I say?
The bones of the [Maywind] are about to get cold, is the Newman family about to be unlucky?
And, the Oblivion? I've seen this term in the logbook of [Bone Eating Clown] Kraskin! ”
But compared to the complacent appearance of an unexpected cameo as a "prophet".
Byron is one of the very few people in the Bantaan Islands who knows best how dangerous the New World really is.
He was more concerned about what the Maywind, which had clearly lost its hooves and was as polluted as Kraskin, had brought back from the New World, which had only shown its scales and half claws.
As a [historical reviser], if there is a possibility of being affected by an accident, Byron will definitely be swept up in the vortex.
Only by being vigilant in advance can we be prepared.
