Pirate Kingship-Chapter 821 - 503: Riding the Momentum, Winds and Clouds Become the Dragon!

In order to maintain control and suppress the floating hearts of the Theocratic Countries, the most loyal and bloody Religious Tribunal was driven to launch another "witch hunt" within its sphere of influence.

The most famous method to determine heretics is the Water Ordeal:

"Tie the suspect to a stone, or bind the suspect's right thumb to the left toe and left thumb to the right toe, and throw them face down into the water.

If the suspect floats, it means the Devil is unwilling to see the death of a believer, thus proving the suspect guilty and they will be burned alive; if they sink, they are deemed innocent, but are likely to drown anyway."

Those with insight know that the absurdity of the examination method actually does not matter.

Because when you want to test the hardness of glass, the glass is destined to shatter. In other words, once doubt arises, the charge is already established.

As long as the Tribunal wishes, a series of verification methods can always reveal the true form of a "heretic", thus taking advantage to strengthen their rule.

In the chaos, the first batch of Holy Silver Empire Protestants, unable to endure persecution, have already set foot on the "First Circulation Zone" under Byron's arrangements.

And more people will follow.

The distance to the Silver Empire's orthodoxy and target in the Golden Empire is drawing closer.

"What an exuberant and wild dance of demons.

No matter whether the war is won or lost, the Orthodox Church is unquestionably the biggest loser; the development of events may not align with the initial intentions of the Protestants.

Though they can decide when the war starts, no one can decide when it ends.

Next, it's our turn."

In the wartime command center established long ago at the Torrent Fortress, Byron shared the current intelligence with his direct line generals.

Although it is still only at the stage of the Holy Silver Empire's civil war, it has already entangled most of the Church's energy.

At this time, not to mention Byron only has a Holy Spirit declaration, even if he directly declares himself as the Creator descended to Earth, the Church doesn't have the energy to cross the sea to attack him.

Furthermore, this means that the biggest obstacle on the way back to the Hightins Thief Country has disappeared.

There is no need to worry that the York Family will find external help that he can't deal with.

Next, Byron's Sacred Golden Empire only needs to copy a strategy.

A perfect demonstration has already been made by a certain offshore nation in the past.

In the early stages of the war, leveraging the advantage of being detached from the situation, flooding both sides of the warzone with industrial goods, making their conflict fiercer, earning a massive amount of hard currency gold, further realizing the bloody original capital accumulation...

Madly absorbing various excellent talents fleeing their homeland, concentrating the world's wisdom, wealth, and the only place free of war, climbing the tech tree furiously to make their strength and foundation expand rapidly like a balloon.

When both sides are exhausted in the mid to late stages of the war, bet on the side with moral and strength advantage, and reap the largest victory fruit.

Be shamelessly bold enough to declare to the outside that you ended the war, you are the beacon of civilization, the country on the mountain top, the symbol of justice, and no one dares to criticize.

Because the others only have half a life left.

By repeating this cycle, relying on the powerful "military-industrial complex", every large-scale war that occurs outside the region can make the national power rapidly expand.

Perhaps the power currently held by Byron is still not impressive within the Old Continent when viewed as a country.

But anyway, there will not only be one chip on the balance, nor will there only be one player in the game.

As long as there is basic qualification to play cards, there is the possibility to cast a decisive vote in key games and dynamic balances, becoming the critical minority.

Many generals in successive wars have said: "If only I had one more division, even just one division…" It's all the same reasoning.

This is also the essence within the essence of the "Offshore Balancer" theory!

What's more wonderful is, with the "Demonic Banquet Council" composed entirely of Kin, even the strongest "military-industrial complex" cannot retaliate against Byron.

Interest is not the pursuit of the complex, but the emperor's will!

This religious war may become the beginning of countless people's suffering.

But for Byron's faction, which has already laid a firm foundation in the Bantaan Archipelago, with fame and power, it is clearly the key opportunity to fly high.

A group of direct lineage personnel are all shouting: "Thank nature for its gifts!"

Under this backdrop, at the end of 1472, the Traditional Faction's loyal Grand Master of the Malta Knights, Legendary Paladin Holy Spear Vallet, finally left his stronghold on Malta Island.

Byron also once again stepped into the Malta Monastery.

Here, he will completely sever the last chain binding his hands and feet.

Then… rise with the momentum, transforming into a dragon!
