In this period of time, the British Royal Navy and the Spanish Invincible Fleet were fighting for supremacy on this sea.
In the middle of the sixteenth century, in order to protect its maritime lines of communication and its overseas interests, Spain established the largest fleet at that time. This fleet ran amok in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, proudly calling itself the 'Invincible Fleet'. The Spanish relied on the Invincible Fleet to plunder large amounts of gold and silver, quickly making Spain the wealthiest maritime empire in Europe.
At that time, England was also in the embryonic stage of industrial development. A large number of manufactured industrial products forced it to be eager to find overseas commercial markets. The innovation in shipbuilding and navigation technology further inflated England's ambitious ambition to seize colonies. For Spain, naturally, it would not allow other countries to share its interests from the colonies. Therefore, under such a historical background, England and Spain were like fire and water.
At that time, England's maritime strength was not strong, and it was difficult for it to match the Spanish naval fleet. However, England condoned pirates and issued 'privateering licenses' to them, using the strength of pirates to interfere with and attack the Spanish. The pirates systematically attacked and robbed Spanish ships carrying gold and silver at sea, causing Spain to suffer a lot of losses.
The Queen of England allowed the pirates to offer their wealth and whitewash their identities. She could even give the pirates corresponding titles according to the amount of wealth they offered. This caused the wealth and gold plundered from the sea to gradually flow into England, and the British used this wealth to gradually make the Royal Navy stronger and begin to compete with the Spanish Invincible Fleet for maritime supremacy.
At this point in the Pirates of the Caribbean world, the Spanish Invincible Fleet had actually declined after several unsuccessful expeditions against England. But no matter what, it was still a powerful force at sea.
The Black Sea Fleet led by Pirate King Ammand could not compare to the Invincible Fleet at all!
At this moment, what appeared in front of Roy and the others was a portion of the Spanish Invincible Fleet. There were more than thirty ships, all of which were sailing warships. The entire fleet carried nearly twenty thousand soldiers and sailors, as well as nearly a thousand cannons. This was a huge fleet that even the Royal Navy could only deal with cautiously.
More than thirty sail warships lined up on the surface of the sea with one side facing where Roy and the others were, and the densely packed cannons aimed at the Frozen Ghost Ship. After giving the order, hundreds of cannons ignited in unison. Two to three seconds later, deafening roars sounded one after another, and the ships of the entire fleet tilted from the powerful recoil brought by the salvo.
Hundreds of cannonballs flew toward Roy's ship one after another. Although most of them fell into the sea and became near misses, the remaining small portion hit Roy's ship. The Frozen Ghost Ship was bombarded by dozens of cannonballs at the same time and exploded into countless pieces!
Before the Spaniards fired, Roy had already flown up with Fat Tiger and Cassandra. Although they were not hit by the cannonballs, Roy was indescribably angry when he saw the Frozen Ghost Ship being destroyed again.
The second one! Why was it that every Frozen Ghost Ship was destroyed after a short period of time in his hands?
Roy's face darkened, and he waved his hand. "Attack freely!"
Roy had not thought of provoking the Royal Navy or the Invincible Fleet, but since they had already come knocking on his door, Roy certainly could not be afraid.
Flapping his demon wings, Roy rushed toward the Invincible Fleet, and Fat Tiger and Cassandra followed closely behind.
In fact, Roy roughly understood why the Invincible Fleet of the Spaniards would appear here and attack him. The reason was probably the same as Ammand's!
In this period when science and ignorance were at their most serious entanglement, the religious world was often at its most sensitive, because the development of science was constantly shaking the foundation of theocracy, especially in a country like Spain, which was founded on Christianity. When they expanded to the colonies, the Spaniards used Christianity to consolidate their rule, and through the doctrine of Christianity, they told the people that they, the Spaniards, ruled everyone on behalf of God, in order to give their rule a veneer of legitimacy.
If something that could not be explained by Christianity appeared at this time, it would definitely affect their image and status and shake their rule. This was why the Spaniards later destroyed the Fountain of Youth forcefully. It was because the Fountain of Youth did not appear in the teachings at all, and they could not explain it.
Especially now, when Spain was constantly declining in the struggle for hegemony, they urgently needed teachings to maintain the stability of their rule. Cassandra's encounter was also related to the current situation in Spain. In order to consolidate their rule, the witch arrest operations, which had gradually declined, flourished again. The church needed to declare their power through activities like adjudicating heresy, and Cassandra and her mother were one of the victims.
Now, Roy had confirmed that another target of Cassandra's revenge was actually the church of Spain …
Logically speaking, Roy was a demon, and the appearance of such a demon in this world was actually a good thing for the church because they could finally prove that the demons in the Bible really existed. Similarly, angels also existed.
Did this sound a little ironic because the one who proved the correctness of their teachings was actually a demon …
Therefore, the Spaniards were actually in pain and happy about Roy's existence. On the one hand, they were happy about the correctness of their teachings, and on the other hand, they had no choice but to think of a way to eliminate this demon.
In fact, if possible, the people of the church would love to let the whole world know of the existence of this demon, Roy. But there was no other way. Since they claimed to be the agents of the Lord in this world, they could only set an example and eliminate Roy, the 'enemy of God' …
This was also because the news about Roy had yet to spread to Rome. If it did, a new round of Crusades might begin …
Roy had underestimated the enormous influence he had after appearing in this world … Of course, this was also related to his fanfare of revenge for Cassandra. In fact, other demons had come to this world in the past, but they had not done what Roy had done, making everyone know about them. At most, they had only appeared briefly before returning to the Abyss, leaving behind only some illusory rumors in this world.
Due to the precedent of Pirate King Ammand, the Spaniards could be said to have come prepared this time.
When Roy landed on a sailing battleship, what awaited him was not Spanish soldiers holding swords or guns, but priests holding crosses and Bibles!
Although the dozen or so priests on this ship looked quite old and had long beards, they were still quite agile. As soon as Roy landed on the deck, they immediately stepped forward and surrounded him from afar. They held the Bibles tightly in one hand and raised crosses at Roy with the other as they chanted loudly.
"Saint Mi 'er, the leader of the Heavenly Gods, protecting me is equal to protecting the enemy. Help us defeat the evil schemes of the devils. I beseech the Heavenly Lord to send the devils far away. Thou great Heavenly God, the commander of the Heavenly Army, use the power of the Sovereign God to banish Satan and the devils who roam the world and harm the living to hell.
”
When facing Roy, the demon, there was no fear in their eyes, only fanaticism. This was because these priests were the most devout priests selected from Spain.
When they chanted loudly at Roy, Roy felt a familiar force exerting itself on him!
It was the repulsive force of the world! The exorcism prayers chanted by these priests actually triggered the power of the world, causing its repulsive force on Roy to increase a lot!
Damn it, is it a secret spell?!
Roy could feel weak magic power from these priests. He thought that they might be able to use some holy light spells to attack him, but he did not expect that their magic power would trigger the repulsive force of the world!
In fact, almost all exorcists used exorcism incantations based on the principle of triggering the repulsive force of the world. And these exorcism incantations were taught by angels to humans to expel demons.
A tremendous sense of heaviness assaulted Roy, and he felt that it was difficult for him to even move. If not for the demon contract he had signed with Cassandra, Roy suspected that he would have really been expelled back to the Abyss by this sudden increase in repulsive force …
Not only Roy, but even Fat Tiger and Cassandra, who had landed on the other battleships, were also attacked by the priests' exorcism incantations.
But surprisingly, the effect on Fat Tiger and Cassandra was not as strong as Roy's. Fat Tiger was created by Roy, and he could not even be considered an Abyss creature. The repulsive force of the world had very little effect on him. Cassandra was a person of this world, but she had transformed into a lich because of Roy's demon blood, so the exorcism prayers had no effect on her at all.
While the priests were restraining Roy, a group of soldiers holding spears carefully approached. The spears in their hands were specially made weapons soaked in holy water. Before they could approach, Roy felt a power that disgusted him from these spears.
"It seems like you've really put in a lot of effort!" Roy sneered. With a wave of his hand, Frostmourne appeared in his hand.
The tip of the sword pierced the deck. The next moment, a strong ice storm erupted with Roy's body as the center!
Whether it was the priests chanting the exorcism prayer or the soldiers holding spears, they did not even have time to react before they were immediately sucked into the storm. This huge tornado appeared out of thin air above the battleship, twisting and moving towards the sky. The people who were sucked into it were immediately frozen into ice cubes and lifted up by the wind.
The cold tornado wreaked havoc on the entire battleship, taking away almost all the people on the deck, and even the ship was frozen. After the tornado disappeared, countless large pieces of ice wrapped around people in the sky fell like meteorites and smashed into the sea, splashing high waves …
