When a group of pirate warlords and the great pirates reached an agreent in Black Sails Harbor, forming the Treasure-Seeking Alliance with high morale, a great commotion was also rapidly spreading from here.
The news of [Mad Hunt], [Son of the Devil] Byron Lancaster appearing in Pirate City swept through the Bantaan Archipelago like a whirlwind.
It continued to transmit towards the Southern Continent's "Hundred Beasts Paradise" and the Old Continent's "Dragon Court."
The thirty-year-long "Red and White Rose War" had declared its end just last year, remaining a hot topic of discussion for quite so ti.
When talking about the events, many people still vividly rember them.
However, most people only heard that the last heir of Lancaster quietly vanished without a trace after fleeing to Iron Anchor Bay, with no divination technique able to locate him.
Speculation was that, like many ambitious young n of this era whose talents did not match their ambitions, he likely died sowhere remote and obscure.
No one expected that nearly a year later, he would suddenly appear at the end of the First Circulation Zone in Black Sails Harbor, rging identities with the famous [Mad Hunt].
The popular knight novels on the continent wouldn't dare write sothing so bizarre.
It was practically a complex "Prince's Revenge" story.
Adding a cool and elegant Bay Citizen Princess into the mix, the story elents all gathered together, leading to a tale that's highly topical and legendary.
Without even accomplishing a major feat, just a simple appearance increased his legendary status to 28 points.
To other unrelated forces, this may just be seen as a spectacle, at most secretly wanting to provoke further chaos in Hightins.
But for the Kingdom of Hightins, especially the Royalist Party, it was a complete and utter thunderbolt from a clear sky.
"Why do these Lancasters, like cockroaches, never die out?
Can anyone tell why this is happening?!"
When Edward IV received this news, he was already on the front lines of the battle between the Royalist Party, Neutral Faction allied army, and the Earl's Party troops.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Cannon fire roared from both sides on the front line, the shouts of kill sounding ferociously; the gunfire revealed that the equipnt of both sides was starkly different.
Unmindful of the war council being held in the tent where most of his high-ranking commanders were gathered, this king suddenly erupted in fury.
His hand, holding the letter paper, was visibly trembling with anger:
"Last October, we annihilated Lancaster's direct lineage in the Strait of Dover.
This April, Count Byron Tudor of Torrentfort killed thousands of Lancaster Party remnants in the Bantaan Archipelago, thoroughly dismantling Red Rose's most loyal core.
Early July this year, Count of Torrentfort again in the Southern Continent's First Colonization War, dragged out the [Blue Dragon King] from the belly of the Northern Sea's Colossal Monster Clark and vanquished Lancaster's undead once more.
Creator, hasn't this been thorough enough?
Why does the single [Son of the Devil] dare defy my rcy and jump out again?
Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!"
Wearing the [Sun Crown], Edward IV's eyes were bloodshot, like an enraged lion.
The slightly blood-coloured [Royal Iron Rule - Great Charter] materialized behind him, the heavy pressure weighing on everyone's heart at the scene.
All the Royalist Party mbers were too scared to make a sound, not saying a word upon questioning.
Only Marquis Thomas Neville, holding the [Dictator's Rod], stood aside with a blank expression.
Others thought he hadn't recovered from the grief of losing his beloved daughter, but in truth, he had gained so intelligence about Byron from his daughter's dream visitation.
Of course, this intelligence was contractually encrypted, unable to be proactively disclosed, nor could it be extracted from his mind even if he were killed.
Marquis Neville watched the furious Edward IV, listening as he enurated the "worthy achievents" of his "valued chief officer," feeling a tinge of pity mixed with absurdity in his heart.
"Hmph, you don't know the explosive news yet.
If you knew the truth, wouldn't you die from anger?
Honestly, that young man who once seed inconspicuous is truly frightening!
Perhaps it's the ancestors of the Bayfolk protecting Lancaster? So people are inherently ant to be trendsetters, stirrers... cough, Henry VI and Prince Sorrenberg are not as talented as this descendant."
There was a fleeting mont when Marquis Neville even considered changing his deceased daughter's marriage partner, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
Things had already been set in stone, and changing her fiancé now would make enemies instead of alliances.
The other person unafraid of Edward IV's wrath was his brother, [Devil Duke] Richard.
Only he, also a mber of the York Royal Family and one of the Tri-Phantom Suns, knew best why his brother was so enraged by [Mad Hunt] Byron Lancaster's appearance.
You see, before today, the situation seed all favorable for the Royalist Party.
Lancaster was gone, the Neutral Faction submitted, and if they could just eliminate these thorns of the Earl's Party, an era belonging solely to the White Rose would be born.
Especially after obtaining the [Sun Crown] that symbolized the Mandate of Heaven of the Tri-Phantom Sun, Edward IV clearly felt confident again.
Before the expedition, he had even gone to the Kingdom's Sacred Lake Rangos and once again attempted to pull out that [Zero Level Sacred Relic: Sword in the Stone] symbolizing royal authority over the entire Strait Islands!
