Chapter 873: Chapter 516: The East Wind Blows, War Drums Thunder, Two Letters of Appeal for Reinforcements (Part 4)

For a skilled assassin like Gao Ming: "Under the Sleeve Sword, all beings are equal," and under the pump-action shotgun, all beings are equally equal, hence the naming of this weapon.

Just after the release, it became the favorite of the Storm Cloak assassins under Byron’s command, the Phantom Blade. Everyone switched to the new "Sleeve Sword."

"Caliber: 16 gauge (70mm shell length), barrel length: 508mm; overall length: 996mm; weight: 3.63kg;

Stock: smooth wood stock/front grip with anti-slip grooves (standard); sight: notch rear sight/front sight; action: pump-action/exposed hammer;

Capacity: 5-round magazine tube, with an additional round loaded in the chamber, totaling six rounds."

The used scatter bombs are divided into three types: birdshot, buckshot, and slug, with respective loads of: one hundred shots, eight shots, and one shot, for dealing with different targets.

There’s also the most powerful Dragon Breath Bullet, which can burn the enemy’s bones to ashes with one shot, only to be used when not planning to capture enemy warships.

Once the Dragon Breath Bullet is used, what remains after battle can only be retrieved from the sea as scrap metal.

The first prototype unexpectedly evolved into a First-Class Holy Relic [Pump-action Shotgun].

Ability One, [All Beings are Equal]:

"Even a Sixth Order Demigod has to reveal its blood bar under this gun, and no matter how slow it cuts, if it doesn’t dodge, it might be scraped to death one day."

Effect Two: [Mechanical Exorcism]:

"Man and gun as one, the body can partially or fully transform into a mechanical form. It can turn hands, elbows, heels, etc., into firearms for close-range shooting.

Or use the explosive power of gunpowder to generate a strong thrust, unleashing terrifying power far beyond that of carbon-based life forms."

Mandate of Heaven:

"Anything with a blood bar, even a god, will be slain for you to see.

Do not retreat when faced with a god, charge and cut it down!

Cannot control oneself to kill a god to show others, the closer the distance, the more intense the desire."

The so-called sharpest "spear" [Jel Harmonica] was just an indestructible toy for their family. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Now, the mass-deployed "Witch 1472 Bolt-Action Rifle" and "Sleeve Sword 1473 Pump-Action Shotgun" are the secret weapons to win against the enemy.

This is also one of the reasons why Byron dared to flip the table half a year ahead of schedule.

Amid their emergency combat preparations, an urgent plea for help was delivered to Byron’s desk on the first of March.

"Order: Governor of the Royal Port, Count of Torrentfort, and Vice Admiral Byron Tudor to lead the colonial Seventh Fleet, cancel all operation plans and standby at the port.

Be ready to receive the Navy Department’s signal and secretly support the homeland’s rebellion suppression war."

If it were an ordinary naval general, this one military order would suffice, but unfortunately, Saint Mr. Byron is not.

He is both a de facto powerful grand noble, far from the king’s control, and a favored one of the "Holy Spirit" with great hidden influence.

Therefore, a personal letter from Edward IV was also attached, addressing Byron as a "truly reliable and lovable partner," and promising that once the Kingmaker Warwick is taken down, Byron will be granted his earldom.

If one were a monarch, they would certainly resent such grand nobles using their troops to elevate themselves, but if one were the grand noble, there would be only two words—delicious success!

"Tsk tsk, Edward IV is still as stingy as ever, far less generous than the Kingmaker Warwick with his resources."

Byron casually took out another plea for help received by Wild Hunt Byron Lancaster as early as the end of February from Warwick.

The preceding parts are the same plea nonsense, but the crucial part at the end has only one sentence:

"I am willing to use the Northern Border Wall as the boundary, to rule separately with you, you in the north and I in the south, and the entire Earl’s Party is willing to revere you as the King of the Winter."

Byron shook his head:

"The offer sounds good, unfortunately, the only condition I can accept is... I want it all!

When lacking strength, temporary appeasement is fine, but if still appeasing when having strength, then my revolutionary tech tree would be pointless, wouldn’t it?

Then, he simultaneously gave both sides a definitive response.

A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Watch closely, gentlemen, having me as an ally shows your good judgement, let me perform a... live transformation for you!"
