Chapter 400: Times Have Changed? No, it's not quite the same

In this Age of Discovery, the colonizers of any country were not very different in nature.

Don't look at the short six days at the end of the month and the beginning of the month, in addition to the multinational joint colonial fleet, I don't know how many red-eyed adventurers have already broken into the new world.

Especially the Castilians, who were already at odds with the Barbary pirates, were afraid that they would be blackened by the ruthless pirate king.

Even if they arrived at the bridgehead early, most of them did not go to join the [Ocean Throne], but started the free exploration mode.

The Thirteen Warriors and its captain, the Marauder, Francesco Pizarro, are naturally among them.

Instead of going to the whaling grounds to pick up other people's leftovers, he avoided the East Coast, where the Barbary pirates and colonial coalitions were gathered, and went straight to the West Coast, which was ruled by the Solar Empire.

The idea is simple:

"His Royal Highness Louis, the [Puppet King] who presided over the pioneering operation, and the legendary adventurers who attacked the celestial circulation belt from other directions, most of them were deceived by the Pirate King and missed the window period.

It also caused the Castilians to miss out on the biggest benefit of the whaling field.

Those of us adventurers who have only a rank of four at most are at the bottom of the first echelon, and we are not qualified to compete with the Pirate King for territory, so it is better to give up whale oil for the time being and seize the land that will never lose money.

Of course, I guess that those drunken and dreamy old men in China are probably not very interested in some revolutionary whale oil technology.

The only thing that can make them crazy is gold, silver and spices, or wealth and power. ”

At present, most of the main sources of wealth of the nobles of the countries of the Old World are real estate, which is often referred to as the landed aristocracy.

These aristocrats, who preferred to work in the church, the army, and the government, felt that running a business or engaging in industry was detrimental to their identity and aristocratic spirit.

Therefore, as long as conditions permit, and basic decency can be maintained, they will not engage in such a "lowly" industry.

The Castilian aristocracy, in particular, had a proud consensus:

"As long as we have the money, let the kingdom of the Hattings produce those fibers as they please, let the Netherlands produce coins and striped cloth, let the Emerald produce cloth and works of art, let the natives of the Bantaan Islands supply beaver skins and vicuñas, and let the Holy Silver Empire produce linen and brocade.

This can only make all the nations train skilled workers hired for Castile, and we are the kings of the world, and the whole world is at the service of us, but we do not serve anyone! ”

At least for the first seventy years of the Age of Discovery, their ideas were successful.

With a large amount of gold, silver and spices, they built the world's most powerful invincible armada and marines, and their invincible force allowed them to further gain more gold, silver and spices and a rapid rise in international status.

The Castilians ate meat, and the other countries could only follow in small sips of soup.

At the same time, it also took seventy years to cultivate a large aristocratic interest group.

Other countries saw this as a once-in-a-lifetime late-mover advantage and decided to go all out to overtake in the corners of the whale oil power revolution.

But Castile's existing class of magnates and transcendents is too strong.

Every year, their Treasure Fleet brings a huge amount of gold and silver back to the mainland from the Bantaan Islands, but it has little to do with the bottom, and most of it is a meal for the powerful.

Since there is still a large piece of fat in the upper echelons that has not been eaten, there is naturally a deviation between the overall strategy of the country and other forces, and the style of action tends to be conservative.

They're more inclined to replicate their previous success on the West Coast than to hit new tracks like the latecomers.

Byron, who had seen the subtleties, witnessed all this with his own eyes, and was even more convinced that history is a cycle, and the law of rise and fall thousands of years ago and thousands of years after is always the same.

For example, Mr. Pizarro, the [Marauder] who is ready to show his strength and snatch the position of the first governor of the Southern Continent.

Although he didn't steal the treasures of the Sun Empire, what he did was even worse.

Relying on his unique supernatural abilities, it is revealed that after the death of Vajna Kapak, the former king of the Solar Empire, a group of princes here are vying for the throne.

The main contenders were four satraps, each of whom ruled over the four major regions of the empire: Kipchak Suyu, Antisuyu, Kolia Suyu, and Contisuyu.

In particular, Prince Atahualpa Kapak, who ruled Kipchak Suyu in the north, was the richest.

So, Pizarro the Marauder and his crew traveled day and night to the hot spring city of Kajamarca in the mountains of Kipchak Suyu in the north.

Pretending to be an envoy of the Kingdom of Choice, he offered worthless clocks and guns as gifts, invited them to his camp, and promised that the Kingdom of Castile would help him obtain the throne.

The Atahualpa was very hospitable, and after accepting the invitation of their white-skinned outsiders, he soon gladly went to the appointment with his small retinue.

At this point, the plan was still going very well.

Pizarro has laid an ambush with a large number of men, ready to smash the cup, capture the imperial prince, and then defeat the center of Kipchasuyu, and take everything in the region in the name of the Marauders!

At the very least, they had to exchange the hostages for a room full of gold, and finally tear up the tickets.

This cruel, greedy, and uncontracted colonizer never wanted to cooperate with each other on an equal footing from the beginning, and did not even treat the natives as human beings.

Unexpectedly, there was an accident at this time.

"Alas!"

Pizarro, who was standing behind the steering wheel, looked at the sailors who had lost half of the deck in front of him, and the rest were all burned and smoky, and sighed deeply.

His eyes were empty, and in a trance, his consciousness returned to what he had been about a day ago.

"Prince, you should believe in the Creator and pledge your allegiance to His Majesty Enrique IV, the great Incompetent of the Kingdom of Castile!"

It's like a villain who is no matter how evil he is, always finds some reason before bullying people.

Pizarro also arranged such a spectacle, in which the accompanying lay priests of the kingdom preached the teachings of the Creator to the enthusiastic guest Prince Atahualpa Capac, and demanded his submission.

And without sincerity, even the inglorious king of his own king [Incompetent] shouted out.

At the same time, muskets and artillery in the shadows were already aimed at the prince and his entourage.

As expected, Atahualpa, who has the blood of the [Sun God] Inti and is a god, suddenly had a gloomy face after listening to the priest's preaching.

Seeing the black metal pipes in their hands, I felt naked hostility, and couldn't help but be furious on the spot:

"If you don't believe it, get out of our country!"

Pizarro was about to order his crew to shoot, so that the natives, who had never seen the world, knew what it meant that "times have changed".

But the next moment, the other party took the first step to let them experience first-hand what it means: "Times have not completely changed".

"Roaring ——!"

Led by Prince Atahualpa Kapak, all the Imperial nobles who were traveling with him roared in unison, and collectively swelled into flame giants at least three meters tall.

Or the dependents of the [Sun God] Inti, the fourth-order mythical creatures [Children of the Sun] and the third-order [Lava Giants] who practice the forbidden book "Sun Sacred Codex"!

They burned orange and yellow flames like little suns, and their eyes were like molten golden balls, and in one breath, the blazing sparks burned small holes in the ground.

In particular, the fourth-order prince, who was five meters tall after his transformation, slapped the second-order missionary standing in front of him in the cloak of church mercy, but in fact did all kinds of evil, into black slag.

Someone shot in a panic.

As soon as the buckshot landed on them, it instantly melted into a pool of lead water, and the giants were unharmed.

"White-skinned outsiders, you are evil guests who are not welcomed by the Sun Empire! Destroy them for me! ”

The prince and the nobles behind him no longer held back, and immediately launched a counterattack, and as soon as he raised his hand, dozens of explosive fireballs were summoned, like a salvo of naval guns, which turned the colonists on their backs.

"Ahh

"God, ——! help"

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Although the guns are powerful, these dozens of muskets in the hands of the colonists are not worthy of teaching mythical creatures of this level to be human.

Times have indeed changed, but they have not become so radical.

Even with the tide of essentia rising and the era of oblivion approaching, there is a trend of revival in the mythical age.

"Monsters, they're all monsters, run!"

If he had the upper hand by force, Pizarro might have been able to hold the governor prince hostage and blackmail him for a large ransom.

It's a pity they didn't.

What I thought was a little rabbit suddenly became a big monster.

He could only be chased all the way, running away with his head in his arms, fleeing back to the ship like a desperate person, and immediately running to the sea that those fire elemental creatures did not like.

If it weren't for the fact that [Marauder] Pizarro himself was a fourth-order wilderness sequence [treasure hunter], he might have been killed by a wave of people, and he wouldn't even be able to escape.

In fact.

In the past few days, not only the [Beagle] of Hattings stole the crown of the sun, but the [Thirteen Warriors] of Castile attempted to kidnap the prince, and the colonists of other countries have also done countless major things.

Most of the daring adventurers made the same mistake, that is, misestimating the strength of the Sun Empire!

The Sun Empire, which thought that it was anchored without the help of the [Silver Law], was like the natives of the Bantaan Islands, there was no way to reach the level of a fourth-order mythical creature while maintaining their sanity.

When you meet them, you don't want to grab them as much as you want?

swaggered and prepared to conquer this rich indigenous empire like he had conquered the Bantaan Islands, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate hard.

In just a few days, the entire Sun Empire's four major Su You were full of chickens and dogs.

A few of them were able to escape with their strength, and most of the adventurers paid a terrible price for their recklessness, and were scattered on the spot by the Sun God Descendants.

Moreover, although those god-descended nobles of the Sun Empire do not like water, and the navigation industry is about equal to nothing, they have a very powerful air force.

Driving the chariots of the sun from the city on the top of the mountains, they crushed the clouds in the sky and chased after the lawless and despicable outsiders.

When the Thirteen Warriors fled to the vicinity of the volcanic archipelago, they were finally overtaken by five chariots of the sun led by Prince Atahualpa Kapak himself.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The alarm bell rang on the mast of the mainmast, and the lookout, whose hair had been burned out, exclaimed in a panicked voice:

"Captain, it's not good, the pursuers are catching up."

Whew——!

In the next moment, an obsidian spear with a flickering aura and flame enchantment fell from the sky, not only piercing his chest in an instant, but also leaving a large scorched black hole that ran through the front and back.

Even the mast of the mainmast under him was blown to pieces on the spot.

Immediately, one after another sharp obsidian spears rained down from the sky, nailing the crew members to the deck.

Five chariots of the sun had already come over them, condescending to launch a massacre.

The screams and the smell of burning instantly filled the entire strange adventure ship.

"Shhh——! It's miserable. ”

In the face of this air-to-ground dimensionality reduction attack, [Hawkeye] James and his entourage, who were watching the battle on the island next to them, all subconsciously prostrate on the ground, not daring to stretch out their heads at all.

Byron, whose vision fell here, also saw for the first time with his own eyes the transcendent beings of the Sun Empire, which made even the false gods fearful.

I felt that perhaps I should re-evaluate and re-examine my attitude towards this indigenous empire in the future.

"I've experimented before, and the [Huashan Heavenly Kingdom] also reacts to their souls, indicating that the three major indigenous empires are of the same race.

Maybe this is an opportunity that can be taken advantage of, the [Golden Deer] is coming, let's wait and see for a while. ”

Although Pizarro is despicable and has no bottom line, he can't help but be shocked when he sees his crew die tragically one by one.

"Damn! [One-third times deceleration pocket watch] is coming! ”

With a gesture of his hand, a golden treasure chest appeared beside him out of thin air, and a handsome boy with short blond hair flew out of it.

Surrounded by a ring of gold, there are twelve illusory scales and three hands.

The obsidian spear that flew overhead flew overhead.

Pointing towards the sky, the scale on his body regressed by one block, and the speed of those flying spears immediately plummeted, becoming only one-third of the original size.

The power was greatly reduced, and the sailors on the ship were finally able to dodge in embarrassment.

"[Diamond Star], [Clockwork Hornbill] are coming!"

Pizarro shouted again, and two more treasure chests appeared, and two tall "girls" burst out.

One is entirely colored diamonds, while the other holds a yellow gold scimitar like a bird's beak.

Not only did they smash all the obsidian spears that had slowed down so much, but they even rushed into the sky and swooped down on the solar chariots.

Pizarro is a fourth-order hero [Treasure Hunter] of the Wilderness Sequence.

The fourth-order class ability is [Activation Treasure Chest]:

"Using this ability on the treasures you hunt, you can permanently activate them into treasure elves, the higher the value of the treasure, the greater the historical influence, and the stronger the activated treasure elves.

Hunters are also able to share the power of the elves, and the more treasure they hunt, the stronger the hunter becomes. ”

There are thirteen of Pizarro's strongest treasure elves, and his adventure ship [Thirteen Warriors] is also named after him.

The body of the "One-Quarter Deceleration Pocket Watch" is a pocket watch, the "Diamond Star" is a priceless colored diamond, and the "Clockwork Hornbill" is an antique clockwork toy that has survived from the mythological era.

Not only are they treasure elves, but they are also Pizarro's fourth-order Hero Guard!

"Clockwork hornbills, knock them down for me."
