Pirate Kingship-Chapter 730 - 481: Fury of the Seas: Line Tactics vs. Boarding Tactics

Crack—!

A dazzling white lightning bolt, spanning hundreds of kilometers, streaked across the dark sky already filled with ominous clouds, illuminating the silhouette of the uninvited guests and making the radiant golden light even more dazzling.

At this moment, descending upon the battlefield through the great vortex is none other than the First-Class Holy Relic belonging to Sea Hunter Byron Tudor, [The First Heavy Cruiser, Golden Deer]!

Following behind are the Seventh Fleet and the thirty most elite privateer warships above fifth level under the Pioneer Guiding Colonial Trading Company.

In the puppet show directed by Puppet King Louis, the first and second male leads have finally all taken the stage.

Under normal circumstances, the Sea Hunter, unaware that The Mad Hunt also obtained information from the Black Box, and without the chance to "reconcile intelligence" with this mortal enemy, would never let the Treasure Fleet, this fat lamb, escape.

Even if he can't devour it alone, he would find an opportunity to take a big bite.

To not come, or to come too late, would be absolutely abnormal.

Rather than wait for Puppet King Louis, who is hiding in the shadows at this moment, to quietly observe and manipulate the threads, roll the dice, control fate, forcing him to passively enter the fray against The Mad Hunt,

it is better to take the initiative at a time most beneficial to his own battle situation.

In the great melee, no one can mind anyone else, the perfect cover for muddling through.

At this moment, the Seventh Fleet, led by Golden Deer, forms a battle line that is stringent even for the Kingdom's Regular Army.

And on the command position on Golden Deer's rear deck, apart from Catherine and a host of pirate officers, stands another Byron.

In a crisp deep blue Vice Admiral of the Navy uniform, with a black cloak fluttering behind him, flapping loudly in the sea breeze.

But this time, it is no longer being impersonated by any of The Mad Hunt Retainer.

Instead, it is Byron himself, who uses the Secret Arcane Art [Bloodline River], using his own flesh and blood as raw materials, and expending a Fourth Order Mythical Creature's entire Blood of Transformation, to cultivate an extra incarnation.

Appearance, capability, identical to the true body.

One of his soul's seven components, the "Starlight Body," travels and resides within this incarnation, able to use all the transcendent abilities of the main body.

Great lengths have been taken for this grand show.

In theory, Byron, relying on the Life Essence of the Fourth Order Mythical Creature [Night Demon Prince], can split up to seven incarnations as long as the materials are sufficient.

But under normal circumstances, incarnations are typically the standard configuration of Fifth Order [False God].

His current level of spirituality is insufficient, with limited information processing ability, and temporarily unable to support a third incarnation while maintaining peak combat strength.

Furthermore, before a Mythical Creature truly obtains the Immortal Stairway and anchors the concept of eternity, excessive soul splitting would lead to a series of serious issues.

Even though Byron successfully cheats with the long-lived species ability of Night Demons, he is not planning to expand the scale before ascending to Fifth Order False God himself.

After all, even if a certain dark overlord comes, he would admire Byron's stable strategy, exclaiming "expert."

When Sea Hunter Byron sees his archenemy The Mad Hunt Byron locked in battle with the vanguard forces, he feigns surprise and exclaims:

"Oh no, this time The Mad Hunt actually beat us to it again?!

Treasure Fleet holds great significance to a Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinary; he might suddenly ascend at any time, this benefit can absolutely not be snatched by that Mad Hunt."

Then, using the ability of Storm Admiral to amplify his voice, he makes sure everyone in the sea can hear clearly:

"The great achievement of first plundering the Treasure Fleet and wealth that rivals a nation belongs entirely to us, the White Rose Monarchists, and the Promotion Ceremony witnessed by the Silver Law is also ours.

Order! All ships of the Seventh Fleet, all gun crews, dual-shell firing, target Ox City and accompanying fleet.

Fire at will!"

In the midst of fierce battle, The Mad Hunt Byron also commanded:

"Everyone, speed up, devour the vanguard fleet in the shortest possible time.

Don't let the damned Sea Hunter take the prize."

When the mortal enemies meet, instead of angrily attacking each other utterly disregarding anything else,

they choose to first strike the Treasure Fleet, vying to seize the benefits in the shortest time possible.

Because Byron has been acting and performing duet during this time.

During the previous Hightins Colony defense battle, Sea Hunter Byron and Mad Hunt Byron deliberately exchanged blows many times publicly.

Creating the illusion for other factions that the two are evenly matched.

And they are both from the Lighthouse Sequence, the act of plundering the Treasure Fleet itself, and the wealth gained from it, is enough to disrupt the fragile balance between them.

It's like two enemies desperately grappling with each other, suddenly discovering a pistol not far away.

The first reaction would definitely be to risk getting hit in vital spots by the opponent, but still go for the gun first.

Once the gun is in hand, they can finish the opponent with a single shot!

Therefore, fighting meaninglessly is secondary; securing the Treasure Fleet before the opponent does is of higher priority.

It's the same logic for both Sea Hunter and Mad Hunt.

After Byron on Golden Deer gives the order, Gunnery Chief Wayne Dote, standing on the lower deck, roars along:

"Order: fire at will!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!…

The cannon flames simultaneously erupt, the hot winds surge, and even the atmosphere is stirred by the ship-mounted heavy artillery.

Led by Golden Deer, the Seventh Fleet, having collectively undergone weapons refitting upgrades, spews furious flames towards the Treasure Fleet like an enraged evil dragon.
