Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 9: First battle Leopold
I did not expect that the shy and loyal and honest man Sangji had this ability, and he won the favor of girls without speaking.
But this is probably the happiest thing for an ordinary person, right?
Aiwen, who has a different life goal, is destined to drift away from the life of such ordinary people, and can only wish Sangji happiness in my heart.
Walking on the road, Ivan looked at the note in his hand, his eyes faint.
, who has reached the pinnacle of knight apprenticeship, unless he is willing to spend several times the effort before, it is possible to smooth out the insignificant double digits after the decimal point and truly reach the limit of mankind, but some of the gains outweigh the gains.
There is no extraordinary person who is aspiring to take a long-term journey on the road of knights, who will deliberately pursue the limits of humanity.
Ivan is now confident that as long as he can get a bottle of Black Sea Potions, he has a great probability of being promoted to extraordinary.
Even as long as there is the main material of "the extraordinary organ of the magic shark", Ivan can try to collect a bottle of auxiliary materials according to the prescription passed down by the family.
But even if the Black Sea potion is only the lowest level potion in the path of a knight, it also involves transcendence. Among them, the "superior organ" as the main material cannot be found by ordinary people like Aiwen.
What's more, the choice of the main material now has a bearing on the road deflection after transcendence, and it is a major event related to the life of a knight, and it is absolutely not sloppy.
So he joined a force, and with the help of the organization, it became Aiwen'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 an arms race with enemy countries, the Royal Navy, which is in desperate need of recruiting troops, came into Aiwen’s sight.
Only a new force with rapid development like the Navy can drop talents in a random manner, so that they can get ahead quickly, and then master a certain power.
, only the navy will not be entangled with the status of the descendants of the down-and-out nobles of Aiwen from other countries, and will be given ample opportunities for promotion.
In addition, Ivan is alone and has no backstage at all. If he goes to a place where he was born with special care like the Army Cavalry Regiment, he will be a small soldier until his death. So whether it is looking for a sister or seeking revenge against Ilya's enemies, the Navy seems to be the best choice right now.
Finally, Ivan still has a little selfishness hidden.
In this magnificent era, shipping routes have been continuously opened up, the true face of the world has been revealed little by little, and geographical discoveries are in full swing. Wouldn't it be a shame if you can't participate in it yourself?
After reading the naval intelligence compiled by Sanji, Ivan, who already had a plan in his mind, spent the next few days dealing with various end and ending and bidding farewell to familiar friends.
......
The busy time always flies quickly, unknowingly it's the eve of departure. Perhaps it was parting emotions, lying on his bed, but Ivan couldn't sleep.
opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, his thoughts flying.
Ivan, who has been alone since his previous life, has lived alone for a long time, and even felt that this seaside town is his hometown. He is about to leave his hometown and he unconsciously feels a little sad.
In the sleepless toss and turns, it has gradually come to the darkest hour of the day in the early morning.
咚——
咚——
Suddenly, a stern alarm bell rang across the night sky, followed by a continuous roar from the direction of the dock.
Then someone shouted:
"The pirates have attacked the city!"
"The pirates have attacked the city!"
shot a sharp spirit, Ivan instantly woke up, jumped up from the bed, opened the curtains to see, there was already a fire blazing to the sky outside. Only then realized that pirates really washed ashore.
Pirates are rampant in coastal areas, and incidents of pirates coming ashore and looting also occur.
But Leopold is still a small city with a city wall preserved, and the coast is a key patrol area for naval warships. Ivan has lived here for five years, and this is the first time he has encountered a pirate siege.
Ivan quickly changed into his clothes, lifted his sword and hunting bow, and rushed out.
He thought very clearly that staying at home at this time may not be safe, especially the commercial area where he lives, if the city breaks down, it must be the first target of pirates. It is better to take the initiative and keep the pirates out.
"Hey! Irving!"
"Gram!"
On the way, Ivan accidentally ran into Grams who also heard the movement. The two simply greeted them and ran towards the city gate on the side of the pier together, which was the direction from which the shelling came.
This era is too far away from the word "Taiping", but the professional army has only just begun to develop and it is difficult to meet the strong official demand.
Therefore, it is very common for hunters to be temporarily recruited to serve as scouts in the army.
Gram, who has also participated in several military operations as an excellent hunter, brought Aiwen's face, which is not too unfamiliar, and approached the city gate unimpeded all the way in a veritable "horse war".
At this time, the shelling from the sea has ended, but the situation on the city is very critical.
Two large holes were broken through the city gate, and the originally not high city wall collapsed partly because of the concentration of fire or the explosion of gunpowder, making it difficult to defend against foreign enemies.
, the middle-aged captain officer holding a saber roared loudly on the city wall:
"Fire! Drive these **** pirates to the sea!"
bang——
bang——
The soldiers lined up in three rows and fired alternately with flintlock rifles.
After only two rounds of shooting, before the gun smoke cleared, there was already a large swath of pirates holding scimitars outside the city, screaming and rushing up.
"Come on--"
"Quack...!"
"The tumors and garbage on the sea, let them taste the power of blood anchor pirates! Gold coins, wine and girls belong to you! Hahaha..."
"Long live the captain!"
"Kill them all!"
After the salvo, the soldiers threw down their rifles and drew their sabers under the command of the officer. Although the current flintlock guns are powerful, their reloading speed is too slow. If you want to shoot within ten paces, it is just a joke of your own life.
Next moment.
boom——
A torrent of two blades and guns collided together, and the **** close fight began. The screams and howlings were mixed with endless shouts of killing, blood and limbs flew across, Ivan and Gram What I saw when I rushed to the gate of the city was such a tragic scene.
After a long time of training, but this is the first time I have personally visited the cold weapon battlefield, Ivan's body trembled slightly!
The splashing blood, the screams before death, and the mutilated limbs all gave him a huge shock. Although the trembling was not caused by fear, this kind of scene was undoubtedly a test for him.
slap——
Ivan was suddenly pushed by Graham, "Ivan, don’t be stunned, let’s go and support with bows and arrows! Reinforcements will come soon."
took a deep breath, Ivan nodded vigorously, took off the yew wood longbow behind his back, played his advantage, and leaped to the top of the city with several borrowings on the broken wall.
is just a glance. The data-based vision has marked out the blurry enemies and friends in the dark, and the wind speed and direction are updated and corrected in real time.
bow and arrow.
"Whoo!"
Feather Arrow broke through the air and shot through the mouth of a bearded man with blood on his face and laughing wildly, through the back of his head.
The young soldier who was at war with him was taken aback for a moment, and he reacted instantly and quickly went to help other companions~IndoMTL.com~At this time, Ivan had already turned the longbow and sent the feather arrow into the eyes of the next pirate. The action was consistent and focused, and the situation on the battlefield no longer allowed him to carefully understand what it was like after the first murder.
The original bow and arrow turned into a killing weapon even more efficient than a gun in the hands of Aiwen!
Although the army of this era has been equipped with muskets on a large scale, it is not because the power of bows and arrows is small, but 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 muskets. The difference in efficiency is almost exponential.
And the age of queuing for shooting actually did not require high precision.
A qualified archer needs to be able to shoot ten arrows within a minute, and he is not on the battlefield in a melee. With the help of his physical fitness and data-based vision, Ivan can shoot an arrow in three to five seconds. The arrow has no vacancies, which is far more effective and terrifying than a firearm.
Waiting for Gram to climb up the ladder step by step, five pirates have been killed under Aiwen's arrow, and there was no accidental injury.
Compared with this, although Grams, who also opened the bow to support, also made gains, they are far inferior to Ivan in terms of efficiency and lethality.
Human extreme physical quality endows Ivan with terrible stability. He maintains a shooting speed of three seconds and one arrow. It takes only one minute to climb the city to support. Both the enemy and the enemy realize that there is a terrible ruler on the battlefield. marksman.
The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted. Although the pirates were not afraid of death, they were also a little cringe. They were no longer as arrogant as they were at the beginning. The line of defense composed of flesh and blood of Leopold's defenders was miraculously stabilized.
