Chapter 9 The First Battle of Leopold

Really didn’t expect Sanji, a shy and honest man with this ability, Quietly even got the girl’s favor.

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

Alwin, who has different goals in life, is destined to drift away from the life of this ordinary person, and he can only silently wish Sanji to be happy in the bottom of his heart.

Walking on the road, Alwin looked at the note in his hand, his eyes faint.

He who has reached the pinnacle of apprentice Knight will only be able to wipe out the insignificant two digits after the decimal point unless he is willing to spend several times his previous efforts.

There is no transcender aspiring to go long on the road of the Knight who will deliberately pursue the limits of humanity.

Alwin 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 extraordinary.

Even as long as there is the main material of “transcendent organ of enchanted shark”, Alwin can try to collect accessories according to the family inheritance’s medicine recipe and configure a bottle by himself.

But even if the Black Sea potion is only the lowest level potion in Knight’s path, it still involves transcendence, and the “transcendent organ” as the main material is not something that an ordinary person like Alwin can easily find.

even more how The choice of the main material now is related to the direction of the road after the extraordinary, and it is a major event related to Knight’s life, which must not be sloppy.

So joining a faction and using the power of the organization became Alwin’s only choice.

At this time, because of the continuous opening of new routes over the years, in order to deal with pirates, defend routes, and compete with enemy countries in arms, the Royal Navy, which is in urgent need of recruiting troops, has entered Alwin’s sight.

Only a new force like the navy, which is developing rapidly, can drop its talents without sticking to one pattern, so that it can quickly stand out and master a certain force.

Only the navy would not bother about Alwin’s identity as a descendant of the aristocratic descendants of other countries, and give him full opportunities for promotion. After all, the navy with a red eye now accepts thieves and criminals, which is not bad for Alwin at all.

In addition, Alwin was alone and had no background at all. If he went to a place where he was born in the Army Cavalry Regiment, he would be a soldier until his death. So whether it’s looking for the elder sister or looking for revenge for Elijah’s enemy, the navy seems to be the best choice right now.

In the end, Alwin still has a little bit of selfishness hidden.

In this era of surging forward with great momentum, air routes have been continuously opened up, the true face of the world has been revealed little by little, and the great geographical discovery is in full swing. Wouldn’t it be a pity if you couldn’t participate in person?

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

Busy time always flies, unconsciously it’s the eve of departure. Maybe it was the emotion of parting, lying in his bed, but Alwin couldn’t sleep.

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

Alwin, who has been alone since his previous life, lived alone for a long time, and even felt that this small seaside town was his hometown. He was about to leave his hometown, and he unconsciously felt a little sad. .

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

Boom——

Boom——

Suddenly, a shrill alarm bell rang through the night sky, followed by a continuous rumbling sound from the direction of the pier.

Then someone shouted:

“Pirates attacked the city!”

“Pirates attacked the city!”

Hit After a shivered, Alwin woke up instantly, jumped up from the bed, opened the curtains and saw that the fire was already blazing into the sky outside. Only then did I realize that pirates really washed ashore.

Piracy is rampant in coastal areas, and incidents of pirates going ashore and looting have also occurred.

But no matter how small Leopold is, it is a city that retains a city wall. In addition, the coast is a key patrol area for naval warships. Alwin has lived here for five years, and this is the first time he has encountered pirates. Siege.

Alwin quickly changed his clothes, picked up his long sword and hunting bow, and rushed out.

He thought very clearly that staying at home at this time might not be safe, especially in the Commerce District where he lived. It is better to take the initiative and keep the pirates out.

“Hey! Alwin!”

“Gramme!”

On the way, Alwin accidentally met Graham, who also heard the movement and ran out. The two simply said hello and ran together towards the city gate on the side of the pier, which was also the direction of the shelling.

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 official demand.

As a result, it is common for hunters to be called up on a temporary basis to serve as scouts in the army.

As an excellent hunter, Graeme, who has also participated in several military operations, brings Alwin, a face that is not too unfamiliar, in the “war in chaos” that is not just in name only, but also in reality , all the way to approach the city gate unimpeded.

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

The city gate broke through two big holes, and the city wall, which was not high at first, collapsed because of the fire or the explosion of gunpowder, and it was difficult to defend against foreign enemies.

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

“Fire! Drive these damn pirates into the sea!”

bang —

Boom —

Soldiers line up in three rows, firing alternately with flintlock muskets.

After just two rounds of shooting, before the smoke from the muskets cleared, there was already a large crowd of pirates with machetes rushing up outside the city, screaming wildly.

“Come on—”

“gā gā gā !”

“The cancers and trash at sea, let them taste the blood anchor pirates Awesome! The gold coins, the wine and the girls are all yours! 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 their sabers in preparation. Although the formidable power of the current flintlock gun is not small, the reloading speed is too slow. If you want to shoot within ten steps, you are joking with your life.

next moment.

Boom——

The torrent composed of two blade machine gun forests collided together, and the bloody close-up fight began, screaming and screaming mixed with endless shouting. The sound of killing, blood and limbs flying, Alwin and Graeme saw such a tragic scene when they arrived at the city gate.

Alwin’s body trembled slightly after being trained for a long time, but it was the first time he was on the battlefield of cold weapons!

The blood splashing, the mournful scream before dying, and the mutilated limbs all gave him a huge impact. Although the trembling was not caused by fear, this scene was undoubtedly a test for him.

Pop——

Alwin was suddenly pushed by Graeme, “Alwin, don’t be stunned, let’s go too, support with bows and arrows! Reinforcements will come soon .”

took a deep breath, Alwin nodded hard, took off the purple clothes wooden longbow behind him, played to his own advantage, and dexterously jumped up to the city head by leveraging on the broken city wall several times .

It’s just a glance, the data vision has marked out the fuzzy enemies and allies in the dark, and the wind speed and direction are updated and corrected in real time.

bend bow and place arrow.

“sou!”

The arrow pierced the air, shot from the mouth of a bearded man with blood on his face and haha laughing, and penetrated the back of his head.

The young soldier who was fighting with him on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and he quickly reacted to help other companions.

At this time, Alwin had already turned the longbow and sent the feather arrow into the eye socket of the next pirate. His movements were coherent and concentrated attention completely. taste.

In Alwin’s hands, primordial’s bow and arrow are more effective than muskets!

Although the army of this era has been equipped with muskets on a large scale, it is not because the formidable power of bows and arrows is small, 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 master the use of a musket, and the difference in efficiency is simply exponential.

And in the era of queuing and shooting, the requirements for precision are actually not high.

A qualified archer is required to be able to fire ten arrows in a minute, and not on the battlefield in a melee. With the help of his physical fitness and data-based vision, Alwin can shoot an arrow in three to five seconds, and the arrow is not missed, which is far more effective and terrifying than a musket.

By the time Graeme climbed up the stairs, five pirates had been killed by Alwin’s arrows, and none of them were accidentally injured.

Compared with this, although Graeme, who also opened the bow to support him, also made gains, his efficiency and lethality are far from comparable to Alwin.

Alwin terrifying stability due to the extreme physical quality of human beings, maintaining the rate of fire of one arrow in three seconds, and it took only one minute to support the city head, both the enemy and the enemy realized that there was a terrorist on the battlefield. The dominant dive archer.

The morale of the soldiers was boosted, while the pirates were fierce and unafraid of death, but they were also a little timid, no longer as loud as Zhang Wuji at first. The line of defense made up of flesh and blood by Leopold’s defenders was miraculously stabilized.

The contract has been signed, two updates today, Mujing thanks book friends for their support!
