Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 97: Flower of the North, Strategy Direction

The news of the "Battle of Anchor Bay" completely dominated the topic of discussion among the coastal countries around the North Sea during this period.

As the protagonist of one side, Hastings naturally bore the brunt of the attack.

Among them, the "Lighthouse Federation", an international guild organization mainly composed of Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinary People, specially printed a Lighthouse Weekly (Chapter 69).

He seemed particularly authoritative, as if he had witnessed the entire Anchor Bay crisis with his own eyes.

In particular, "a certain insider" who believed that one should leave his name behind when doing good deeds disguised himself and accepted the interview, basically restoring the truth on the surface.

"Redbeard and the privateers under the control of the York family are lurking in Iron Anchor Bay as spies.

Intends to seize the position of [Overseer] and control of the [Pirate Code], and open the maze for the subsequent arrival of the Hastings Navy.

This despicable act was stopped by the Taiwanese princess Violet and a suspected third-level extraordinary being [Wild Hunt].

Later, in the chaos of fighting between the two sides, an ultra-specification being summoned by the York family accidentally lost control and destroyed the entire Channel Fleet.

Those who play with fire will get burned!

This newspaper has reliable information that the York family most likely used the same method to defeat their rival for the throne, the Lancaster family.

And now York has lost it.

In addition, during the chaos between the two sides, some privateers and free pirates took advantage of the chaos to escape from Anchor Bay.

But the North Sea was not safe at this time.

This newspaper would like to remind passing ships throughout the North Sea that the super-sized existence may appear anywhere, and especially the treacherous ones must be extra careful.

It is said that the Lancaster Party member wanted by the York family, "Devil's Son", once appeared in Anchor Bay, and it is suspected that they have reached a cooperation. "

After seeing this newspaper, the soldiers who were responsible for guarding the Greenville family estate became a little panicked.

"Iris is always looking to avenge its defeat in the Hundred Years' War, and the kingdom's coastal defense is under tremendous pressure."

"I heard that every noble family in the capital is holding a funeral."

"I also heard that the church issued a decree requiring the diocese to conduct a thorough investigation. Is there really anything wrong?"

Although with those Hall of Fame artists who shouted: "Humanity can accomplish great things", a series of literary and artistic movements were launched to break the shackles of church ideology.

Various bans, including those related to names, were gradually relaxed and abolished in 1453.

But the York family's behavior still seriously violated taboos and will most likely lead to further accountability from the church.

Most of the fears of mortals come from the unknown. Originally, many people did not know why the House of York was able to destroy Lancaster.

Now, after Byron had decoded the secret himself, he also uncovered the York family's hidden secrets.

What's worse, he threw the tiger skin into the sea and could never be retrieved.

The dual pressures from both the religious and secular levels made the situation faced by the York family even more difficult.

Many people no longer believed that the House of York was truly destined to rule.

Even the soldiers at the bottom couldn't help but have an idea in their minds:
"The kingdom is now plagued by internal and external troubles. Will Lancaster come back to attack us one day?"

Therefore, whether in the Earldom of Greenville or in the territories of other Lancaster nobles.

The soldiers who were vassal states of York subconsciously became much more polite to the "prisoners".

In particular, the officers on guard knew that the previous Earl of Greenville had great reputation in the Kingdom of Hattings.

About forty years ago.

It was he who assisted the previous King Henry V in defeating the Kingdom of Iris, making Henry V the regent of Iris for a time.

Not only did she marry the daughter of King Charles VI of Iris at the time, giving birth to Henry VI and Prince of Thornburg, but she also obtained the other party's inheritance rights.

At that time, Iris even became part of the United Kingdom.

The Houses of Hastings and Lancaster also reached their most glorious and prosperous era.

Earl John Grenville wielded great influence among both Lancastrian and Yorkist nobles.

In both parties, there are many people whose ancestors received their help and favors in foreign wars.

In addition, the Greenville family is small, and now there is only one granddaughter, Catherine Greenville.

Although she grew up in Prince Sollenberg's family, the relationship between them was very close.

He was not liquidated like most of the Lancastrian party, but was confined to the manor.

When Catherine heard the soldiers' discussion and wanted to read a newspaper to pass the time out of boredom, the officers met her request.

"Byron, it's really Byron."

The newspapers gave extensive coverage to the news about the Wild Hunt and the Wanmin Princess.

It was just a small mention in the corner that the wanted criminal of the Kingdom of Hastings, the Devil's Son, was also lurking in Anchor Bay. But it was precisely this insignificant sentence that pierced through Catherine's pretended strength in front of outsiders for more than a month.

However, the very next day, following this news, she received an order from King Edward IV.

"The King decrees that you, Countess Catherine of Grenville, be transferred to another title."

The stern-looking herald delivered the news to her.

This beautiful girl, who was famous throughout the north of the Channel Islands and was praised as the "Flower of the North", inherited her family title just after she came of age and was a genuine countess.

Beautiful, wealthy, and legally the owner of the entire earldom.

"Where is the transfer going?"

Having received the news she had been waiting for for a long time, Catherine calmly accepted the final judgment of the York family.

Fiefdom is the foundation of the nobility, and no one would accept such an unreasonable order from the king without any reason.

But since we have already lost the war, there is naturally nothing to say.

Because of her grandfather's great reputation and her being a living heir, the Greenville family still had a chance to transfer the title.

Too many Lancaster vassals who lost their descendants in the war had already been deprived of their fiefdoms and titles within this month.

of course.

If the York family had won another great victory at Anchor Bay, Edward IV might have ignored the criticism among the nobles and seized the fiefdom in an ugly manner.

But under today's internal and external troubles, stable people's hearts are obviously more precious than land, and the York family's methods have become much gentler.

Catherine also sincerely thanked the Wild Hunt and the Princess of the Bay.

The herald looked at the famous [Flower of the North] with a trace of barely perceptible pity in his eyes, and coldly spat out a place name:
“Bantaan Islands.”

Anchor Bay.

The name "Wild Hunt" is not only widely known among the pirate community, but also has become well-known throughout the entire North Sea.

The happiest person was naturally Byron himself.

"It has risen a little bit in just a few days. Even if it gets slower as time goes on, it's not far from the next ability increase of [25] points."

Byron lay leisurely in his captain's chair, with his legs on the desk, and casually opened the [Ship's Log].

The road to transcendence is advancing by leaps and bounds.

But it was the last two secrets that made Byron frown.

After the war, the unlocking density of [Secret: Shadow of the Red and White Rose War, Historical Influence 31] increased from 40% to 50%.

[Secret: Prophecy, Kingship, and the prophecy of racial revival by the god of the Wild Hunt, Woden, historical influence 69] The decoding density also jumped from 11% to 15%.

Although the latter had promised to help Violet keep an eye on the whereabouts of her father, the North Sea Pirate King [Whale Hunter], there was no rush now.

One of them is at level three while the other is only at level one. They are definitely thinking their lives are too long to chase after a secret with an influence of 69 that could cause a level five legendary pirate king to disappear.

"The first stop he went to before he disappeared was the Bantaan Islands, which are full of natives, evil spirits, and weird things. You can pay a little attention to them."

"But 'Shadow of the Red and White Rose War' has clearly uncovered the main instigator of the Navy Department and the accomplice 'Touch of the Kraken'.

The solution density is still only 50%.

Could it be that what is hidden behind this shadow is deeper than what I see now?
Where should the next step of decryption be placed?

The Channel Islands, or the Bloodthirsty Order, which is also based in the Bantaan Islands and is connected to the York family?"
