Chapter 1175: Chapter 222: Saint and the Holy Skeleton (Two in One)

There’s less than a week left until Dennisiowa officially goes to war against the pirate coalition.

This time, the military operation against the pirates is unlike any before.

The advisory council has gone completely mad—therefore, pirates in Dennisiowa are about to face a true "eradication war."

The title of Pirate Nation will be terminated next month.

It looks as if it’s just that the officials have finally taken the pirate suppression seriously.

But here’s something to know—what percentage of Dennisiowa’s population do the pirates account for?

It’s 5%.

This means that in the United Kingdom, one out of every twenty people is an "active" pirate. The number of pirates is more than ten times that of the regular army.

But this is not to say that they could defeat the regular army.

Not to mention how much more advanced the regular army’s firepower and military theory are... The Wizard’s Towers turned a blind eye to these pirates because the governors on the islands were in league with them.

But now, Dennisiowa is determined to eradicate piracy. The first to respond will be the local Wizard’s Towers of the pirates.

There are certainly a few wizards closely associated with the pirates who might tip them off... but overall, the idea that pirates can stay at their bases and hide in towns to avoid warships is surely doomed to fail.

When the Wizard’s Towers launch a full-scale operation, there are at least tens of Transcendents at the silver rank alone. Even if the women of the White Jade Tower lack direct combat power... in any world, there’s no reason why high-quality support could not find people to join the fight.

Although they themselves are as soft as cotton candy, there is no shortage of nobles and Transcendents who want to maintain good relations with the White Jade Tower.

Under the attack of these Transcendents, the pirates, most of whom are ordinary people, would have no power to fight back.

Especially since this is going to be a large-scale operation across the entire Dennisiowa.

This means... even the wizards can cooperate with each other.

Once wizards of different schools work together, their combat power won’t be much less impressive than that of the players. These diverse professions naturally achieve more than the sum of their parts when they fight together.

And for those pirates, if they don’t come from "twisted and dark" pirate families, it means they certainly have friends and relatives still living in the light.

Once the official operation in conjunction with the Wizard’s Towers begins, the pirates will belatedly realize the full scale of the onslaught... Chaos will gradually spread from Spring Island and Gemstone Island across the whole country.

The surviving pirates, who have been directly scattered, are all desperadoes; there may also be some who have taken money and fled in advance.

Whether they plan to attack or threaten ordinary citizens, forcing them to hide them from pursuit; or seek refuge with friends and relatives, or bribe someone with money... These pirates are bound to bring chaos to Dennisiowa.

Although the advisors in Dennisiowa think it’s simple—the pirates will definitely scatter and flee once the army and Wizard’s Towers bear down on them.

So far, so good.

But they have not considered the issue of "pirates scattering and fleeing."

In Annan’s view, this "civil war" might end in less than three days.

However, the ensuing chaos could last for a long, long time. It won’t dissipate for at least a few years.

Although the title of Pirate Nation will disappear, the profession of pirate will not—as long as Dennisiowa cannot improve the lives of the civilians and raise their moral standards, such people will always exist.

Even if they don’t become "pirates," they will become "robbers" or "bandits." Just a change in the name of the profession, the nature of the behavior, and the scope of interaction, but the essence is no different.

After obtaining information from Arthur’s side—more precisely, on the second day after the missing Annan returned, he received an official notification from the King of Dennisiowa.

In essence, it was because Dennisiowa was about to engage in civil war, they advised Annan to leave here first. The King would apologize in the future and treat Annan well again.

Or rather, Dennisiowa had been dragging its feet and not started the war officially... actually waiting for Annan.

If they start a civil war, and then something happens to the Duke of Annan at this time.

No one would believe that they were truly out to "eradicate pirates" and not using the opportunity to "assassinate the Duke of Winter."

—Although they really did not think so.

But what others think, they cannot control.

Therefore, the Dennisiowa advisory council dares not gamble.

As the Duke of Winter, Annan must leave Dennisiowa before the war officially starts, and must leave under escort, safely reaching a foreign country under the public eye.

After that, even if Annan is injured or encounters calamity, it would have nothing to do with Dennisiowa.

Annan took a little more rest.

Not until August 2nd, when he received information from Ofelia, did he leave Dennisiowa.

Before that, Annan consulted Chiron, the "ancestor of professions," regarding the coordination among gold rank levels and about the Saint’s Corpse Bone mechanism.

Annan wasn’t sure if his silver rank profession, "Victorious Knight," could still advance to gold.

He wasn’t sure before, but now he’s finally realized—after advancing to gold, he can’t gain any experience points at all.

Does he need to max out his Victorious Knight profession before completing the Sublimation ceremony?

If so, he would need at least two more Eggs of Dream Condensation...
