Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 9 The First Battle with Leopold

I really didn't expect that the honest and honest man Sangji, who is shy and honest on the outside, has the ability to win the favor of girls without making a fuss.

But for an ordinary person, this is probably the happiest thing, right?

Aiwen, who has a different goal in life, is destined to drift away from the life of ordinary people. He can only wish Sanji happiness in his heart.

Walking on the road, Ai Wen looked at the note in his hand with dim eyes.

If I have reached the peak of the apprentice knight, unless I am willing to spend several times the effort before, it is possible to smooth out the insignificant double digits behind the decimal point and truly reach the limit of human beings, but the gain is not worth the loss.

No extraordinary person who aspires to go long on the road of knights will deliberately pursue the limits of human beings.

Aiwen is now confident that as long as he can get a bottle of Black Sea potion, he has a great probability of being promoted to Transcendence.

Even as long as there is the main material of "extraordinary organs of demonized sharks", Aiwen can try to collect excipients according to the prescription passed down by the family to prepare a bottle by himself.

But even if the Black Sea potion is only the lowest level of potion in the knight's path, it still involves transcendence, and the "transcendent organ" as the main material is not something ordinary people like Aiwen can find casually.

What's more, the choice of the main material now is related to the direction of the path after the extraordinary, and it is a major event related to the knight's life, and it must not be sloppy.

So joining a force and relying on the power of the organization became Aiwen's only choice.

At this time, because of the continuous opening of new sea routes over the years, in order to deal with pirates, defend routes, and engage in an arms race with enemy countries, etc., the Royal Navy, which urgently needs to recruit troops, came into Ivan's sight.

Only a rapidly developing new force like the Navy can recruit talents in an eclectic manner, so that they can quickly stand out and gain a certain amount of power.

Only the navy will not be entangled in Aiwen's identity as a descendant of a down-and-out nobleman from another country, and will give him sufficient opportunities for promotion. After all, the red-eyed navy now even accepts thieves and criminals, which is not bad for Aiwen at all.

In addition, Aiwen was alone, with no backstage at all. If he went to a place like the Army Cavalry Regiment, where he was born, he would be a soldier until his death. So whether it is looking for her sister or seeking revenge on Ilya's enemies, the navy is the best choice right now.

In the end, Ivan still has a little selfishness hidden.

In this magnificent era, air routes are constantly being explored, the true face of the world is being revealed little by little, and great geographical discoveries are in full swing. Wouldn’t it be a pity if you can’t participate in it yourself?

After reading the naval intelligence compiled by Sanji, Ivan, who already had a plan in mind, spent the next few days dealing with various beginnings and ends and saying goodbye to familiar friends.

The busy time always flies by quickly, and before you know it, it is the eve of departure. Maybe it was the emotion of parting, lying on his own bed, but Ai Wen couldn't fall asleep.

He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, his thoughts flying wildly.

Aiwen, who has been alone since his previous life, has lived alone for a long time, and even feels that this seaside town is his hometown. He is about to leave his hometown, and he unconsciously has some melancholy.

In the sleepless tossing and turning, it has gradually reached the darkest moment of the day in the early morning.

Boom——

Boom——

Suddenly, a mournful alarm bell rang through the night sky, followed by continuous roars from the direction of the pier.

Then someone shouted:

"Pirates attack the city!"

"Pirates attack the city!"

With a jolt, Ai Wen woke up instantly, jumped up from the bed, opened the curtains and saw that there was already a fire blazing outside and shouting for killing. Only then did I realize that there were really pirates rushing ashore.

Pirates are rampant in coastal areas, and incidents of pirates going ashore to plunder also occur.

But no matter how small Leopold is, it is still a city with preserved walls, and the coast is a key inspection area for naval warships. Ivan has lived here for five years, and this is the first time he has encountered pirates attacking the city.

Ai Wen quickly changed his clothes, lifted his long sword and hunting bow and rushed out.

He thought very clearly that it might not be safe to stay at home at such a time, especially in the commercial area where he lived. If the city was broken, the pirates would definitely be the first to plunder. It's better to take the initiative by yourself and keep the pirates out.

"Hey! Alvin!"

"Gram!"

On the way, Aiwen accidentally ran into Graeme who also heard the sound and ran out. The two greeted briefly and ran together towards the city gate on the side of the pier, which was also the direction where the shelling sound came from.

This era is really far from the word "Taiping", but the professional army has just begun to develop, and it is difficult to meet the strong demand of the official.

Therefore, it is very common for hunters to be temporarily recruited to serve as scouts and other positions in the army.

As an excellent hunter, Graham, who had also participated in several military operations, took Aiwen, a face that was not too unfamiliar, and approached the city gate unimpeded in a veritable "war and chaos".

At this time, the shelling from the sea was over, but the situation on the top of the city was very critical.

Two big holes were broken in the city gate, and part of the city wall, which was not considered high in the first place, collapsed due to concentrated fire or gunpowder explosion.

On the city wall, the middle-aged captain officer with a saber roared loudly:

"Fire! Drive these damned pirates to sea!"

boom--

boom--

The soldiers lined up in three rows and fired alternately with flintlock muskets.

After only two rounds of shooting, before the smoke from the muskets cleared, a large group of pirates with scimitars in their hands rushed forward screaming.

"Come on—"

"Quack quack!"

"Tumors and garbage on the sea, let them taste the power of blood anchor pirates! Gold coins, fine wine and girls belong to you! Hahaha"

"Long live the captain!"

"Kill them all!"

After the salvo, the soldiers, under the command of the officer, threw away their muskets and drew out their sabers to stand ready. Although the current flintlock guns are quite powerful, their reloading speed is too slow. If you want to shoot within ten steps, it is simply a joke with your own life.

next moment.

boom--

Two torrents of blades and guns collided together, and the bloody close combat began. There were screams and howls mixed with endless screams, blood and limbs flew everywhere, and Aiwen and Graham rushed to the city. It was such a tragic scene when I saw the door.

After training for a long time, it was the first time for Ai Wen to visit the battlefield of cold weapons in person, and his body trembled slightly!

The splattered blood, the screams before death, and the mutilated limbs all gave him a huge shock. Although the trembling did not come from fear, this scene was undoubtedly a test for him.

Snapped--

Aiwen was suddenly pushed by Graeme, "Aiwen, don't stand still, we will also go up and support with bows and arrows! Reinforcements will come soon."

Taking a deep breath, Aiwen nodded vigorously, took off the yew wood longbow behind his back, took advantage of himself, and leaped to the top of the city deftly by leveraging on the broken city wall a few times.

With just a glance, the digital vision has already marked out both the enemy and the enemy in the darkness, and the wind speed and direction are updated and corrected in real time.

Bow and nock an arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The feather arrow pierced through the air, shot through the mouth of a bearded man who was laughing wildly with blood all over his face, and pierced through the back of his head.

The young soldier who was fighting with him on the opposite side was slightly taken aback, and immediately realized that he hurried to help other companions.

At this time, Aiwen had already turned the longbow and sent the feather arrow into the eye socket of the next pirate. His movements were coherent and concentrated. The situation on the battlefield could no longer allow him to experience carefully what it was like to kill someone for the first time.

In Aiwen's hands, the original bow and arrow turned into a more effective killing weapon than a musket!

Although the army of this era has been equipped with muskets on a large scale, it is not because of the low power of bows and arrows, but because muskets or musketeers are more cost-effective.

A well-trained and qualified archer needs years of training, while an ordinary musketeer only needs a few days to be proficient in the use of muskets. The difference in efficiency is simply exponential.

Moreover, in the era of queuing up and shooting, the requirements for precision were actually not high.

A qualified archer is required to be able to shoot ten arrows in one minute, and that is not on the battlefield in melee. And with the help of his own physical fitness and digital vision, Aiwen can shoot an arrow in three to five seconds, and the arrow is always shot, which is far more effective and terrifying than a musket.

By the time Graham climbed up the stairs step by step, five pirates had been killed by Ivan's arrows, and there was no accidental injury.

In contrast, although Graham, who also opened his bow to support, also made gains, his efficiency and lethality were far from being comparable to Ivan's.

The extreme physical fitness of human beings endowed Aiwen with terrifying stability, maintaining the rate of fire of an arrow every three seconds, and it took only one minute to get on the top of the city for support. Both the enemy and the enemy realized that there was a marksman with terror and dominance on the battlefield.

The morale of the soldiers was boosted, while the pirates were not afraid of death, but they were also a little shy, and they were no longer as arrogant as they were at the beginning. The defense line composed of flesh and blood by Leopold's defenders was miraculously stabilized.
