Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 54 The Beginning of Subversion

It was not until dawn that the privateer captains, who had received their missions, left the Nemesis with heavy hearts.

In the huge war conference room, only Edward Redbeard was left.

With his hands clasped together and placed on the table, he looked out the window at the gradually bustling port city, without any of the passion that a congressman should have in his eyes.

There is only endless indifference and ambition.

"No matter how hard you struggle, it's useless. Anchor Bay will soon become a thing of the past!
Plan No. 1: Seize the position of warlord, cooperate internally and externally to capture Anchor Bay, eliminate the free pirates in the North Sea, and seize the great secret treasure guarded by the people of the bay.

Plan No. 2: If Plan No. 1 encounters obstacles, all the stubborn Beidiwan people who stick to tradition will be wiped out! "

Even in the eyes of Edward Redbeard, a veteran pirate with a long history of evil, the people of Iron Anchor Bay, who have always adhered to traditions, have violated too many taboos.

As the most stubborn pirate group on the east coast, they violated the interests of all the maritime powers in the Age of Exploration;

When all the big pirates, including the Barbary pirates, gradually left the Old World, they still stayed in Anchor Bay, slapping the faces of the navies of various countries;
He refused to accept the church's faith reform and stubbornly worshipped Woden, the god of prophecy, kingship, and the wild hunt, who had long since lost all his miracles.
Lastly, and most importantly, is the prophecy said to have been made by Woden himself.

——The glory of the Beidiwan people will be reawakened by blood and flames, and rule this continent!

“If I were those high and mighty bishops and kings, I would not tolerate the existence of such a group.

If you refuse to leave even if I chase you away, I can only ruthlessly pull out this nail!"

Up to this point, Redbeard was the only person who knew of the initial plans of the Hastings Admiralty.

Every winter, huge storms inexplicably blow across the entire North Sea.

It lasts from November to January of the following year, with the peak in December.

During this period, most sailing ships on the North Sea follow tradition and try not to go out.

Because of strong winds and high waves, the lower gun ports would be caught in the waves and could not be used. In the event of extremely severe weather, it was not uncommon for entire fleets to be destroyed.

It is now November 1471, 11 in the Silver Era.

Unless they braved the rough seas and crossed the North Sea, the pirates meeting in Anchor Bay would be trapped here for the next two to three months.

At that time, the entire Anchor Bay will become a huge secret room and cage!
This is also when the plan actually begins to be implemented.

As a trump card, York will bring a "natural disaster" to Anchor Bay that has already been proven in the War of Red and White Roses and is absolutely irresistible to mortals, and will reap everything.

How does Anchor Bay compare to Lancaster?
This battle cannot be lost!

But before that, in addition to gaining control of the law, he and the privateer captains needed to start a preparation in advance.

——Collect the flesh, blood and soul of the Beidiwan people.

“Although I don’t know why the group-specific element is needed.

But it is easy to guess that the orthodox supernatural series will definitely not use these things, they are just used to display some kind of [forbidden knowledge].

It’s been less than twenty years since the dark millennium of high-pressure church rule, and now even the royal family has begun to degenerate?
The attitude of the church, at least the Bishop of Hattings, is also somewhat intriguing."

Thinking of this, Red Beard's face became gloomy again:

“I had just gathered the privateer captains and was about to take action when I encountered a fatal attack.

Could it be that my previous plan to summon the Ripper and the Faceless Man to collect the information of the Bay People and to test the life and death of the Overseer Dennis the Child Guard was exposed?

It shouldn’t be like that.”

Well, a group of assassins who have suddenly become famous in Anchor Bay recently:
[Gunpowder Artist], [The Ripper], [Faceless Man], [Wild Hunt]. Most of them actually have their origins.

[The Wild Hunt] is Byron's vest; [Gunpowder Artist] is the indigenous force of the Bay People; and who knows how many of the rest are swords stabbed by ambitious people.

These guys, who are pirates by profession, don't play by the normal rules at all, and none of them are easy to deal with.

Even elections, which are a symbol of civilization, are inevitably tainted with blood.

Of course, this is also closely related to the disappearance of the Pirate King, the unclear physical condition of the Governor, and the serious decline of the [Pirate Code].

The Taiwanese people eventually declined.

Red Beard rang the bell and called in the first mate who was standing outside the door.

“Whether or not we have been exposed, we must speed up.

Those privateer captains have already set out with sacrifices to prepare for the summoning ceremony. The arrow is on the string, and we must also start it in full swing here.

Now I assign you two tasks.

First, in addition to the privateering alliance, I will continue to recruit free pirates to help me. The bigger the better.

Second, didn't that bunch of idiots want me to help lure and kill the assassin hiding in the dark? Let the Ripper and the Faceless Man take action, find the Wild Hunt, and kill him!
I suspect today's attacker may be that [Gunpowder Artist].

The two of them appeared in Anchor Bay at about the same time, and they both targeted us, so they might be in the same group."

The first mate bowed in response.

"Yes, Captain!
The Ripper and the Faceless Man should indeed prove with their actions that it is not a waste of resources for us to give them two [Rare Item - Octopus Silver Coins] that can be used for anti-divination.

[Wild Hunt] is just a first-level attendant. Even if he is the best among the first-level ones, if he wants to kill the fallen second-level one, it would take three people to siege him together.

I am sure they will not disappoint you.”

The first mate responded confidently.

Behind him, Edward the Redbeard nodded slowly, with a hint of piety in his eyes:
“I have committed murder and arson, and I have done all kinds of evil things, but I have always been a devout believer!

God has endowed human rights and souls are equal, but only the church is qualified to define who is a human being in this world.

The Creator will bear my sins and forgive my transgressions.

Please bless me to open up new horizons for you and create great achievements! "

"What? Before that stormy night, the House of York issued an order to massacre the nobles of the Lancastrian captives?"

Byron had just returned to Bruch's room after watching the excitement, and found that he had regained consciousness as his injuries had rapidly improved.

The appearance that he had destroyed himself was completely restored, and he became a tough guy as solid and reliable as marble.

Although he was tongue-tied, his eyes were filled with joy at the unexpected reunion after almost being separated forever.

Some time ago, although this [Guardian Knight] was seriously injured, he still retained a clear consciousness and knew what was happening outside.

After waking up, the two brothers were no longer fussy people and simply skipped the process of expressing their heartfelt feelings to each other.

With the qualities of a [Guardian Knight] and a professional soldier, he immediately shared the intelligence he had with his lord Byron.

"Yes, when I was captured and tortured by those traitors, I overheard a piece of news from them.

On October 10, the day before the stormy night, Edward IV of the House of York issued a warrant for the massacre of the nobles.

Killed all the people we captured.

Now it seems more like a blood sacrifice of unknown meaning."

After listening to Bruch's narration, a mystery that had been lingering in my heart for a long time was finally solved.

Is that why, that night, under the influence of the unknown existence, the Lancaster was the only one in the entire fleet who lined up to jump into the sea?

No one else was affected?
On October 10, the head of the York family, the current King Edward IV, suddenly issued an order that was completely inconsistent with the rules of war.

"Spare the common soldiers, and kill all Lancastrians captured in the war."

And when the soldiers buried the bodies, they found that they seemed to have been dried by the wind and there was no trace of moisture left.

Byron, who had already performed black magic rituals himself, the first thing that came to his mind was: sacrifice!

Using the blood and souls of some members of the same family to target an entire family, no matter if they were on a naval battlefield or not, they probably would not be able to escape.

Then the problem is coming.

What level of existence can use this kind of blood sacrifice positioning to easily break through the royal family's extremely high-level [Silver Law] protection?
Byron's heart began to beat faster at the thought of that horrible thing, perhaps swimming on the bottom of the North Sea.

Simultaneously.

The decryption density of [Secret: The Conspiracy of the Admiralty (Historical Influence 20, Decryption Density 35%)] jumped from 35% to 56% in an instant.

The unlocking density of [Secret: Shadow of the Red and White Rose War (Historical Influence 31, Unlocking Density 20%)] has also been increased to 30%.

“The connection between the two events is obvious.

Could it be that York wants to repeat what happened in the Strait of Dover in Anchor Bay?"

Byron immediately thought of the huge lighthouse he saw near him on the day he was promoted to Storm Knight, which was dragged down to the Sea of ​​​​Source by an unknown object.

Is there a possibility that that thing's sights had already fallen here?

His instinct told him to run, but his mind told him that he couldn't escape.

Finally, his eyes flashed with ferocity.

"I must know their plans at all times. Without further ado, I will find an unlucky fellow from the Privateer Alliance to replace him tonight!"
