Chapter 738: Chapter 483: Power Balance Recalibrated—A Golden Apple Snail? (6600)

In a private cabin of the [Castle of Dreams].

Invisible puppet threads gathered from all directions, weaving a vast "web," collecting endless information and countless people’s destinies here.

Beneath the web, at the central hub, the [Puppet King] Louis was uncharacteristically serious.

Instead of seeking pleasure with a group of beautiful women as usual, he donned luxurious noble attire and sat on an ivory-engraved chair.

Holding a half glass of red wine, leisurely enjoying the grand war drama unfolding in the "First Circulation Zone."

However, the course of the war gradually deviated from the script he had prepared in advance, causing his brows to furrow into a "Chuan" character:

"Hmm, it seems I underestimated the strength of [The Mad Hunt] and [The Sea Hunter].

The hidden power they wield turned out to be surprisingly strong, quite beyond my expectations.

[The Mad Hunt] Byron Lancaster easily rallied all the Fourth Order Pirate Warlords of Black Sails Harbor to join forces.

Whether those unruly pirates will continue to obey after obtaining the treasure remains a big question, but for now, they undeniably possess the charisma of a Pirate King.

[The Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor unveiled a new type of firearm never seen before, greatly enhancing the combat power of his ordinary soldiers, once again leveraging the advantage of numbers over individuals.

Even Middle Sequence Extraordinary facing them might carelessly overturn.

Reflecting on the current situation, my initial decision to have the Treasure Fleet sail against the wind for three days, exhausting their stamina, now seems excessive.

At this rate, even if the living forces of the Treasure Fleet perish entirely, it won’t deal these two forces a crippling blow for me to easily harvest.

This is significantly at odds with my expectations!"

This time, even though [Puppet King] Louis collaborated with foreign enemies, selling out his country’s interests, he evidently still believed in the unmatched military might of the People of Castilia.

Without his assistance, these two groups he specifically sought out could not possibly completely leave behind the Treasure Fleet, severing the first mission’s goal: [Lady Green] and the Fourth Order Totem God’s retreat.

Nor could they stay on this sea, preventing his brother [Incompetent] Enrique IV from having his own child.

Yet reality starkly contrasted, [The Sea Hunter] and [The Mad Hunt]’s arch-enemy duo gave him a tremendous "surprise."

After witnessing [The Sea Hunter] and [The Mad Hunt]’s respective forces gaining the upper hand in their battlefield, Louis noticeably quickened his wine glass swaying, unable to conceal his inner agitation:

"The thing I hate the most is the unexpected!

Fleet Commander Debo Siblings, Vice-Commander [Matador] Roderick, the current [Don Quixote], along with Lady Green and the Totem God, a total of six Fourth Order, dealing with the two raider parties was the preordained element of the script where equals meet.

Yet, at this stage in the naval battle, [Lady Green] remarkably remains composed, refusing to lend assistance.

Isn’t she afraid that if pirates seize the fleet, she’d have no place to escape?

Staying in a comfort zone leads nowhere, why can’t you just jump out quickly, so I can kill you?"

More than ten minutes later. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Seeing that Violet, already possessing Fourth Order strength, not only remained unexhausted by the Treasure Fleet during the raid but even publicly ascended into a Fourth Order Mythical Creature, he couldn’t help but frown deeply:

"I’m not a charity institution affiliated with the church, giving away these treasures to you for free.

In my script, there is only one true protagonist, which is me, and you supporting characters have only the ending of death and withdrawal.

The more survivors from this battle, the more I’ll personally have to resolve.

The most perfect state for me is for all of you to perish together, leaving the treasures and heads to me.

Since uncontrolled incidents keep appearing during the natural development of the storyline.

Let me correct the script, restore the power balance, and add weight to the three parties."

So thinking, he solemnly retrieved the thirty-sided brass [Probability Dice] and tossed it to the floor.

Clatter...

After spinning for a while, the dice finally settled on 18.

The Puppet King’s face showed delight.

"Not bad."

With the point in the range (10-20], it’s enough to influence a city with a population of tens of thousands, more than capable of altering the fate of the three parties.

Subsequently, several puppet threads extending from here collectively trembled with unprecedented frequency.

...

The scene shifts back to the three-way battlefield shrouded in torrential rain.

On the [Numa Nande], an old shield, an iron spear, a suit of armor, and the horse head bone belonging to the mount "Numa Nande" all gleamed with divine light.

The broad-minded Jeanne Don Quixote once again activated that divine skill [Absurd Absurd] capable of transforming objects, turning ideals into reality.

Rumble...

Besides the towering Heroic Spirit [Don Quixote] riding the ship like a mighty steed, the three masts of this Miracle Battleship all transformed into knight attendants of the Heroic Spirit.

The nearly fifty-meter-high mainmast, the rigging, and the slightly smaller two masts all suddenly came alive.

The topsails gained two pairs of angry eyes, the dense rigging turned into freely waving tentacles, and the yards became lances in the hands of knights.
