The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Introduction: Willie McCoy, the leader of the Blood Sail Pirates, was once an imperial officer. He possesses the strength of a great knight. He masters the proficient level of imperial military swordsmanship, black shark breathing method, and unknown boxing skills. He is good at using the knight's sword. , stabbing sword and pointing tiger.

Because he can defeat most enemies with a pair of iron-fingered tigers, and can penetrate a formal knight wearing armor directly from the chest and abdomen with one punch, he is called "Bloody Hand Willy"!

(Note: Its close combat effectiveness is extremely strong. Once discovered, it is strongly recommended to avoid it.)

Iron-fingered tiger?

Ren knew that thing. The iron finger tiger usually consisted of four iron rings connected together. Behind the rings was a semicircular iron hoop for holding with the palm of the hand. The four rings were respectively put on the index finger, middle finger, On the ring finger and little finger.

In addition, some dactyls will add steel thorns to their heads in order to further increase their damage.

If this iron-fingered tiger is worn on the hands of a powerful person who is good at boxing, both the attack speed and power will be quite terrifying!

Next is the second one, the deputy leader of the Bloodsail Pirates and the captain of the ‘Ruhr’, Kraut Duggan.

Judging from the portrait, this is a standard handsome man with a handsome face and a mustache. He looks more like a noble than a pirate.

Introduction: Kraut Duggan, the deputy leader of the Blood Sail Pirates and the captain of the "Ruhr", is a fallen nobleman of the empire. He has the strength of the peak knight level, masters the proficient blood sail swordsmanship and unknown breathing method, and is good at using knights. Long sword.

Nicknamed the 'Gentleman Pirate'.

(Note: The second person in strength is second only to Bloody Willy. Once encountered, it is recommended to avoid him immediately.)

The third person made Ren's pupils shrink.

Huh?

Actually a knight and wizard apprentice?

interesting!

The third portrait is of Mala Nasr, the diviner and captain of the Wreck.

This was a hooded man, with almost no beard visible on his slightly pale face. He looked very young, but through the slightly weathered corners of his eyes, Renn felt that his real age must be quite a bit.

Introduction: Mara Nasr, the fortune teller and captain of the "Shipwreck", has an unknown origin. He has the strength of a senior knight and a second-level wizard apprentice. He has clearly mastered the "waterweed divination" and the water witchcraft "hydrotherapy", and other witchcraft. The mastery of the technique is unknown, but he has mastered the Blood Sail Sword Technique.

Mala Nasr is good at divination and healing, and is very popular among the Bloodsail pirates.

(Note: Since the other party’s attainments in witchcraft are unknown, it is recommended to avoid them once encountered.)

The last figure in the painting, the fourth one, is Bilqir Gamal, the captain of the Hook

With his iconic hooked arms and rotten teeth in his mouth holding a pipe, he looks most like a pirate who wanders the sea day and night.

Introduction: The captain of the 'Hook' is Birkir Jamal, an old blood-sail pirate who has been floating at sea for more than 30 years. He has extremely rich experience in sea navigation.

Since he has the longest experience in the Bloodsail Pirate Group, he is mainly responsible for lateral liaison with other pirate groups, and is quite famous among other pirate groups.

Nicknamed "Bad Old Man".

(Note: Although the opponent is older, he is cunning and cunning. It is not recommended for the inexperienced to fight with him.)

At this time, Ren's ears twitched slightly. He vaguely heard a few people discussing something among the noise.

".Choose the fourth one, Bill Keel, nicknamed 'Old Man'. He should be the easiest to kill. We can choose this one."

"Yes, the first few are too strong and too dangerous."

"But this guy Nazbi might choose the fourth one."

"We are really beaten by them, so we will choose the second one. I have high-level armor. If the other party is simple in swordsmanship, we should be able to fight."

"Yeah, but it's a pity that the fortune teller knows witchcraft. It's too dangerous. If he gets a curse, it will be over!"

"."

Renn looked up and found that the people speaking were all the heirs of nobles who Haas had mentioned were at the top of the list of those participating in the canonization assessment.

To be rated as excellent, you only need to kill the first mate. If you can directly kill the captain, it will be even better.

However, judging from what the other party just revealed between the lines, it seems that it is not that simple.

These people probably have the same goals as him.

Do you want to get a high enough score to get an invitation letter from the ‘Sword Bearer’?

Retracting his gaze, Ren's gaze passed over the portraits of these four people one by one. Finally, he returned and stopped again at the portraits of 'Bloody Hand Willy' and 'Soothsayer Mara'. a while.

Then, Ren continued to look down.

On the paper, after the portraits of these four key figures, there are designs of two pirate warships, a four-masted sailing ship and a three-masted sailing ship.

The four-masted sailing ship is the flagship of "Bloody Willie", and its shape is almost the same as the regular main four-masted sailing ship of the Imperial Navy. This can't help but make Ren think deeply.

The three-masted sailing ship is the ship of three other pirate captains. It may be because they were all manufactured at the shipyard in the sea area of ​​​​Rosby City. Basically, the various hull structures are similar.

Therefore, the three three-masted sailing ships can share one design.

Renn focused on the captain's rest cabin, the rest cabins of the first mate, boatswain and other senior management personnel, and took a closer look.

The captain's cabin of this kind of three-masted sailboat is usually located on the second deck less than a little behind the stern.

If it is anchored in the harbor, Renn estimated the draft of the sailboat based on the design drawing, which should be about four meters above the water level.

In addition, the design drawing shows that the captain's rest cabin is equipped with a small side window, some are round, and some are semi-circular.

Therefore, it is still easy to identify, especially if there is light in the other party's room.

This made Renn nodded slightly.

It's just that the notes on the design drawing indicate that the thickness of the three-masted sailboat's hull is about thirty centimeters, and the thickness of the three-masted sailboat's hull is nearly forty centimeters.

This made Renn frown slightly again.

At the bottom of the paper is a two-story building with dozens of rooms and a shape similar to an old castle.

From the notes on the side, Ren learned that this was the base camp of the Bloodsail Pirates on Merit Island, known as the 'Bloodsail Fortress'. It was made of huge local rocks and was very strong.

But the Bloodsail Pirates prefer to call it a ‘little fortress’.

But seeing here, both a ship and a fortress, Renn couldn't help but be a little confused. Is this going to separate the troops?

One team is responsible for the boarding battle?

A team attacking a small fortress?

At this time, someone suddenly asked: "Sir, is this a boarding battle? Are the leaders of the other side on their own ship or in this Blood Sail Fortress?"

Sure enough, Ren was not the only one who had doubts.

"We still don't know yet." The rear admiral shook his head.

"However, you should be able to tell when you get off the ship. Also, it won't be a boarding battle, but a boarding battle."

"What you have to do is to familiarize yourself with the structural diagrams of the ships and fortresses." the rear admiral added.

At this time, the middle-aged man with a mustache in a noble hunting suit reminded from the side:

"Finally, I would like to remind everyone that emergencies may occur at any time during combat. In some cases, even our assessment officers may not be able to rescue them in time."

"So, please value your life and don't be too ambitious."

At the same time, he paused and said with relief, "Even if you fail the canonization assessment this time, you can still apply for it again five years later."

Although the other party said that, he could hear it. Ren raised his head slightly and looked up. He felt that it was not much.

Because since they have signed up to participate in the canonization assessment, most people feel that there is no problem with their own strength.

As for the few who are twenty-seven or eighty-year-old, because being too old is a deductible, for them, this time may be their last chance.

After all, in five years, he will be over thirty. Unless he has reached the level of a senior knight, the hope of passing the canonization assessment will naturally become lower and lower.

Therefore, for them, they will choose to fight for it.

Isn’t there a saying in the previous life, ‘Give it a try and your bicycle will become a motorcycle! ’

Now they give it a try and the common people become nobles!

So, naturally we have to fight.

Now that the target was clear, Ren slowly took off the chrome iron sheath on his body and put on the leather armor made of otter skin.

When fighting in a small space like a cabin, being more dexterous will bring you a lot of advantages. In addition, if you are wearing heavy armor, it will be embarrassing if you fall into the water.

In addition, Renn also has the extraordinary characteristic of 'Iron Skin lv3', which makes him more suitable for fighting in leather armor than others.

So, after losing more than a hundred pounds of weight, Ren suddenly felt much lighter.

About one o'clock in the morning.

Everyone arrived at Merit Island.

At this time, everyone discovered that there was another ship behind them, and dozens of elite naval commandos wearing swordsmen's light armor, equipped with crossbows, and more than a dozen naval officers uniformly disembarked.

It seems that this is the main attacking force.

Huh?

She actually came too.

Renne soon saw that one of the officers was actually familiar to him, the female Major Marika who was responsible for receiving them at the Navy House Hotel.

However, Malika is not the only woman. There are two other female officers. They may be responsible for recording, liaison and coordination.

As Ren jumped off the boat, with dark vision, he could easily see the surrounding situation. The island was not big. The first thing that caught his eye was the center of the island. The short castle. It was said to be a castle, but it was indeed bigger. Like a small fortress.

This is naturally the Blood Sail Fortress.

Renn could vaguely see several earthen cannons with a dark metallic luster mounted on the walls of the small fortress.

In addition, there was a simple dock two to three hundred meters away to their left, where a four-masted sailboat, three three-masted warships, and some small boats were docked.

Obviously, these are the main ships of the Bloodsail Pirates, and they are also the two types of ships shown in the design drawings.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a red scarf dressed as a pirate suddenly appeared from the bushes more than ten meters ahead, startling everyone.

The rear admiral seemed to have known that the other party was waiting for them here, and asked calmly:

"How is the situation now?"

"Sir, since the Bloodsail Pirates are on guard against an attack by the Imperial Navy, Willy and the messenger will meet on the four-masted sailboat in the middle, the flagship 'Bloodsail'."

"From the dinner to now, Bloody Willy and the courier have not come out. They should still be on the flagship. The other three three-masted sailing ships are also on full alert, including the captain and first mate, who are all on board."

"So, on the other hand, the defense force at the small fortress is the weakest because the backbone is not there." The spy disguised as a Blood Sail Pirate quickly reported the latest situation.

Ren nodded slightly. It turned out that he had arranged an internal response. No wonder the major general said that he knew the situation as soon as he landed ashore.

Judging from the current situation, they should be raiding the pirate ship!

However, from here you have to go to the simple dock where the pirate sail warship is moored.

First, you need to walk along a rocky path for a while to reach the beach where four or five warning bonfires are burning. After that, you can start the boarding battle.

At this moment, at the end of the path, Ren could see a row of torches slowly moving this way. It looked like they were a pirate patrol, and on the beach more than a hundred meters away, there were shadowy figures of twenty or thirty pirates. It's shaking.

It seems that before boarding the boat, we need to clean up the trash fish first.

At this time, the rear admiral said: "Now that the assessment has officially started, you all know the situation. All your kills will be recorded by a dedicated person later."

"let's start!"

At this time, seven or eight new knights who were good at archery immediately took the lead. Some were a little more cautious, hiding aside with bows and arrows, aiming at a group of pirates holding torches who were slowly approaching. .

Calculating mentally but not intentionally!

The ambushes were regular knights again, and the group of blood-sail pirates who were ordinary people and masters on the opposite side had no time to make any effective resistance.

I saw the knights taking aim and "whooshing" a few times, and quickly shot and killed the seven or eight patrolling Bloodsail pirates without even letting the other party scream.

The scorers in the rear began to record the results.

As the path continued forward, the second Blood Sail pirate patrol was destroyed.

When everyone arrived at the beach, the most recent knight at this time had killed eight Blood Sail Pirates in a row, and the opponent was a master with a bow.

As for the bonfire on the beach, even though there were still quite a few Blood Sail Pirates in twos and threes, when it came time to launch an attack, they were still outnumbered!

One pirate leader in particular died the most miserable death. He was stabbed by two swords and four sharp arrows in an instant.

There are still several knights armed with heavy weapons who have no chance to show off.

Because most of the time, the opponent needs to be dealt with quietly. After all, the boarding battle has not been officially launched yet, so even if the opponent is to be alerted, it cannot be so early.

As for the new knights holding heavy weapons, their movement speed is naturally not as flexible as other knights.

Ren glanced sideways, and when he saw dozens of elite naval commandos, already holding strong bows or crossbows, aiming at the Blood Sail Pirates, he confirmed his guess.

So, when the dozens of blood-sail pirates on the beach were all killed, there were still a few new knights who participated in the canonization assessment. At this time, they still had not opened their doors.

Among them was a new knight who was also carrying a sledgehammer next to Ren. At this moment, the other man could not hide the look of anxiety on his face.

Just now, he planned to attack a Blood Sail Pirate, but he didn't expect that an arrow struck from the side and directly snatched away his target 'prey'. Although he immediately turned his head and glared, there was nothing he could do.

However, when he saw the calm and calm Renn beside him, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why are you not anxious at all?"

"The fastest among them have already met the assessment requirement of twelve."

"Well, there's no rush. Besides, I'm not good at archery either." Renn shrugged.

The other party glanced at the two-handed sword and two-handed war hammer that Ren was carrying on his back, and couldn't help but comforted him with some sympathy: "Indeed, you don't even have a bow, so there's nothing you can do."

"Oh! If I had known better, I would have practiced archery better." The other party couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Ren took two steps forward and picked up a thick wooden board. This wooden board seemed to be used to repair the hull of the ship, and one side was smeared with tung oil.

Ren held it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, then opened it with force.

Then, he nodded slightly.

At this time, all the blood-sail pirates on the beach have been cleared away, and the real thing is next - the boarding battle.

Everyone thought that the Rear Admiral would come forward and make arrangements, but what they didn't expect was that more than twenty naval officers and examiners wearing noble hunting attire had no intention of intervening, but looked on with smiles from behind. What will everyone do next?

Soon, many people spontaneously gathered around a few of the most powerful noble heirs.

At this time, a man named ‘Nazby’, whom Renne had just heard of, led twelve or three people towards the southernmost ‘Hook’.

At the same time, several naval officers with peak knight strength immediately followed, while assessors and statisticians in black hunting suits also quickly followed.

Since the bow of every ship has a bow image, such as the 'Hook', which has a large curved hook, it is very easy to identify.

Of course, not all those who participated in the assessment chose to participate in the boarding battle.

Because, judging from the intelligence just revealed by the spy, the weakest persimmon should be the small fortress on the side, where there are almost no enemies of the Peak Knight.

Therefore, a considerable number of people spontaneously formed a team and fought towards the small fortress.

Once these two groups moved, there were not many people left. Including Ren, there were only about ten people.

"Yeah, they're just a bunch of fools." A heir of a noble family said disdainfully.

Just listen to the man continue to say: "It's difficult to get a good rating in a small fortress. If you want to get a good one, come to the 'Ruhr' with me!"

"'Gentleman Pirate' Kraut, I will be responsible for solving this problem."

Upon hearing that the other party could withstand the most difficult second-in-command of the Bloodsail Pirates, the remaining new knights couldn't help but turn their heads and look at each other.

Obviously, they are not willing to just get a qualified evaluation, but want to get a good evaluation.

So, after thinking for a moment, the rest of the people basically followed the noble heir to the 'Ruhr' located next to the 'Hook'.

After all, the remaining number of people could no longer support another attack on a pirate ship.

In other words, of the remaining two pirate ships, one is a four-masted sailboat, the Bloodsail Pirates flagship 'Bloodsail', and the 'Bloody Willy' with the strength of a great knight is obviously the target of the navy.

The captain of the other shipwreck is a mysterious professional with strange methods and is also difficult to deal with.

"Ren, aren't you going?" The sledgehammer knight just took two steps and found that Ren was still where he was. He turned around and asked in confusion.

Renn shook his head slightly and said, "I won't go."

"Okay! If not, considering how young you are, you should be able to get a passable rating in a small fortress."

Under the light of the bonfire, the Sledgehammer Knight saw Renn's slightly younger face clearly, and thought that the opponent was weak in strength, so he did not take action for a long time.

"I still plan to follow him and have a look. I wonder if there is a chance to get a good review." After saying that, the sledgehammer knight quickly ran towards the 'Ruhr'.

At this time, the only ones left on the beach who had not moved yet were Ren and a red-haired female knight.

Ren glanced at the other party. He seemed to have heard Haas mention it before at the training ground. It seemed that her name was Evelyn, the daughter of a certain viscount in Rosby County.

Evelin also raised her head and glanced at Renn. This young man carrying two heavy weapons had never been seen on the training ground before, as if he had appeared out of nowhere.

Evelin was very curious. She planned to attack the Blood Sail with the navy, but what did this young man plan to do?

Isn't it the same as her?

And the beautiful female naval lieutenant Marika couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw Ren still staying on the beach.

In her opinion, this young man's strength is not bad.

After all, there are few knights who are good at using two-handed heavy weapons, especially when the opponent is carrying a two-handed sword and a two-handed heavy hammer.

However, if he stayed on the beach, he couldn't possibly choose to attack the flagship, right?

You know, under the attack of the Marine Commando team, many times you can't find an opportunity to attack, and the enemy is killed.

Unless you plan to have a duel with the top brass of the Blood Sails Pirates, perhaps the Marine Commandos will give you this face.

At this time, Ren suddenly moved.

I saw him walking alone towards the northernmost three-masted sailboat, which was the 'Wreck' - the ship of the fortune teller Marla Nasr.

You know, currently no assessor has chosen this battleship because there is a wizard apprentice on board who has unknown strength.

At this time, the rear admiral who was preparing to divide his forces to attack the flagships 'Bloodsail' and 'Wreck' was stunned when he saw Ren's actions!

But the next second, he immediately waved his hand, and then the female major Malika and an officer who had reached the peak knight level reacted quickly and immediately stepped out of the queue and followed Ren.

"Are you asking for information alone? Wearing leather armor? Carrying heavy weapons. What a strange look."

"But even if you can sneak in and get first-hand information, this assessment is based on the number of kills. Doesn't this young man think that he can get a qualified evaluation based on the information he finds?"

"In addition, if it is discovered, it will immediately be surrounded by pirates, and the mission will basically be considered a failure." The naval officer following Renn had many question marks in his mind for a moment.

However, what is very strange is that Renn stopped not far from the 'Wreck'.

He raised his head and looked around somewhere behind the hull for a while.

Then, he took off the two-handed sword and two-handed hammer from his back at the same time.

This operation.

The naval officer and the female major Marika immediately looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes. They took out two heavy weapons?

What is this for?

As a one-handed weapon?

Not so!
