Chapter 9: Leopold

　　 I didn't 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 this ordinary person, and can only wish Sangji happiness in my heart.
　　Walking on the road, Ai Wen looked at the note in his hand, his eyes faint.
　　 Having reached the pinnacle of knight apprenticeship, unless he is willing to spend several times the effort before, it is possible to smooth the insignificant double digits after the decimal point and truly reach the limit of human beings, 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 a main material of "the extraordinary organs of the demonized shark", Ivan can try to collect a bottle of supplements according to the prescriptions 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 is not something ordinary people like Aiwen can casually find.
　　 What's more, the choice of the main material now is related to the road deflection after transcendence, and it is a major event related to the life of the knight, absolutely not careless.
　　 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 any style, so that they can get ahead quickly, and then control a certain force.
　　 Also, only the navy will not be entangled with the identity of the descendants of the down-and-out nobles of other countries of Aiwen, and will be given full 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 some hidden selfishness.
　　 In this magnificent era, shipping routes are constantly being opened up, the true face of the world is revealed little by little, and geographical discoveries are in full swing. If you can’t participate in person, isn’t it a pity?
　　 After reading the naval intelligence compiled by Sangji, 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.
　　......
　　 Busy time always flies quickly, unknowingly it is the eve of departure. Perhaps it was parting emotions, lying on his own bed, but Aiwen 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 small 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 towards the dock.
　　 Then someone shouted:
　　 "The pirate has attacked the city!"
　　 "The pirate has attacked the city!"
　　 With a joke, Ivan woke up in an instant, jumped up from the bed, opened the curtains, and saw that there was already a fire blazing to the sky. Then I 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 is the first time he has encountered a pirate siege.
　　 Aiwen 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 Gram, who also heard the movement. The two simply greeted them and ran towards the gate on the side of the pier together, which was the direction from which the shelling came.
　　 This era is really far 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 Iwen's face, which is not too unfamiliar, and approached the city gate unimpeded all the way in a veritable "horse and chaos".
　　 At this time, the shelling from the sea has ended, but the situation on the city is very critical.
　　 Two large holes broke through the city gate, and the originally not high city wall collapsed partly because of the concentration of fire or the explosion of gunpowder, and it was already difficult to defend against foreign enemies.
　　, the middle-aged captain officer holding a saber roared loudly on the wall:
　　 "Fire! Drive these pirates to the sea!"
boom--
boom--
　　The soldiers lined up in three rows and fired alternately with flintlock rifles.
　　 After only two rounds of shooting, before the smoke from the muskets cleared, there was already a large swath of pirates holding a scimitar screaming and rushing up outside the city.
　　 "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 muskets and drew their sabers under the command of the officer. Although the current flintlock guns are not small in power, their reloading speed is too slow. If you want to shoot within ten paces, you are just joking with your life.
next moment.
　　 boom
Two torrents of knives and guns collided together, and the close fighting began. The screams and howls were mixed with endless shouts of killing, blood and limbs flew across, and Ivan and Graham rushed to the city. What I saw at the door was such a tragic scene.
　　 After a long time of training, it is the first time that Aiwen's body trembles in the cold weapon battlefield!
　　 Splashing blood, screams before death, and 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.
Snapped--
　　 Ivan was suddenly pushed by Gram, "Ivan, don't be stunned, let's go, support with bows and arrows! Reinforcements will come soon."
　　 Taking a deep breath, Ivan nodded vigorously, took off the yew wood longbow behind him, played his advantage, and leaped to the top of the city with several leverage on the broken wall.
　　 is just a glance, the data-based vision has all marked out the ambiguous enemy and ourselves in the dark, and the wind speed and direction are updated and corrected in real time.
　　 bow and arrow.
　　 "Wow!"
　　 Feather Arrow broke through the air, shot through the mouth of a bearded man with blood on his face and laughing wildly, and penetrated the back of his head.
　　 The young soldier who was fighting with him was taken aback for a moment, and he instantly reacted to help the other companions. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
　　 At this time, Ivan had already turned the longbow and sent the feather arrow into the eye socket of the next pirate. The action was consistent and focused. 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 firearm 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 when queuing to be shot actually did not require high precision.
　　 A qualified archer needs to shoot ten arrows within one 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 musket.
　　 When Graham climbed up the ladder step by step, five pirates had been killed under Aiwen's arrow, and there was no accidental injury.
　　 Compared with this, although Gram, who also opened the bow and supported it afterwards, also achieved gains, it was far inferior to Aiwen in terms of efficiency and lethality.
　　 Human extreme physical quality endows Ivan with terrible stability. He maintains a shooting speed of three seconds and an arrow. It takes only one minute to climb the city to support. Both the enemy and the enemy realize that there is a marksman with terrorism on the battlefield.
　　 The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted. Although the pirates were not afraid of death, they were also a little cowered, and 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.
