Chapter Eleven The Lord
Without wasting any more time, Aiwen turned around and continued to kill towards the city.
If pirates are allowed to destroy and plunder in the city, even if the city guards are resisting, it is unknown how much casualties and losses will be caused. This is something Ivan cannot tolerate.
"ah"
"Spare my life!"
"Escape quickly"
One by one, the ferocious pirates were like weak lambs, falling to Ivan's sword one after another.
Except for bosses like Billy, ordinary pirates have almost no enemies like Alvin in close combat.
Even more fortunately, most of the pirates had already emptied their muskets of ammunition when they attacked the city, and had no chance to reload during the fierce battle. Even Billy the Black Bear was the same.
Even if he touched the gun at the end, it was just to deceive Ivan. Ivan discovered this when he seized his musket.
As long as he is not caught in the fire of the muskets, Ivan, who has reached the limit of mortals, is like an ancient general who dared to rush into the enemy's formation and mow the grass without any fear!
Therefore, when facing pirates with only swords in a street fight, the number of pirates with less than three people meeting Ivan was almost a one-sided massacre. It was at this time that he had a clear understanding of the power he possessed.
As time passed, more and more pirates fell under Aiwen's sword. Occasionally, he encountered a city guard soldier who was at a disadvantage and was saved by him.
Wherever there were cries for kill or help, Aiwen would charge towards them.
Finally, after Ivan brutally killed the pirates who were looting in a jewelry store.
boom
boom
Continuous gunshots rang out in the city, obviously the reinforcements had finally arrived.
"It's not too late."
At this time, as long as the pirate captain is not dizzy and must fight desperately, the retreat signal should be issued soon.
Ivan looked at the time. Due to his own obstruction, the pirate group was unable to quickly annihilate the city guards under the perfect start of the city wall collapse, and the time to break the city was greatly delayed.
Although the pirate siege of the city had begun very early, it has only been twelve minutes since the city was defeated. Considering the current quality of the army, it is remarkable that it can be assembled and reinforced in such a short time.
.
call out
Sure enough, a sharp whistle soon came from outside the city. Regardless of whether they had gained anything or not, the pirates who heard the whistle began to quickly assemble and evacuate.
Instead of taking the initiative to intercept the pirates, Aiwen took the opportunity to check his pharmacy and Sanji's house. There were no traces of pirate invasion. After the situation was completely stabilized and he felt relieved, he returned directly to his home.
However, after Ivan got home, he cleaned up and washed himself, and he just sat down for a while.
The disgraced Graham rushed in in a hurry, and when he saw that Alvin was at home, he pulled him out with a happy face.
"Evan, come with me quickly. Lord Nabri wants to see you. That's a good thing! Let's go!"
"Lord Nabry?" Ivan had no choice but to let Gram pull him out of the house again.
Of course he knew who Lord Nabry was, the famous city guard commander, Leopold's famous swordsman. But he thought he had nothing to do with this Lord, and this should be the busiest time after the war.
, I don’t know why he wanted to see me by name.
On the way, Gram also explained to Alvin his experience after the two separated.
As expected, he was a hunter more "sly" than a fox. After seeing the pirates invade the city, Gram did not carry his own hunting knife to fight the pirates. Instead, he directly used the excuse of reporting battlefield intelligence to greet the reinforcements.
As a non-staff hunter scout, although his behavior may not sound good to others, others cannot criticize him.
It's no wonder that Ivan didn't find this guy all the way after chasing the pirates. Only now did he know that this guy had defected to the reinforcements and only dared to return to the battlefield together.
After the fighting subsides and the pirates retreat.
Lord Nabry, the commander of the city guard, heard the report from the first group of soldiers stationed on the city wall and learned about Aiwen's powerful ability to dominate the battlefield with a pair of bows and arrows, so he wanted to meet this marksman.
After all, he made great achievements in this pirate invasion, so the garrison commander should express his gratitude.
Soon, Ivan met Lord Nabri at the small outpost where the city guards were stationed beside the collapsed city wall.
Lord Leopold, who was famous for his swordsmanship, did not wear a military uniform, and only had a beautiful long sword hanging on his waist. He looked more like a pampered nobleman than an officer of the kingdom.
After a brief greeting.
The Lord invited Alvin to sit down on the surrounded sofa. He looked at Alvin's clean and handsome face, straight back, and hands with slight calluses that obviously often held swords, even though he was wearing a hunting suit. He asked with interest.
road:
"noble?"
Alvin smiled appropriately, neither admitting nor denying.
Seeing that there was no family crest or other things on Aiwen's body to indicate his identity, Nabri nodded, thinking he understood something. He stopped asking, but his attitude suddenly became much warmer.
Ai Wen didn't know that it took just one sentence.
The Lord has labeled him as a son of a declining noble. He has inheritance, knowledge, and the ambition to revitalize the family, but he lacks an opportunity.
Just like my younger self.
This kind of thing is very common, especially with the rise of new business aristocrats, more and more traditional aristocrats are forced to leave their hometowns after going bankrupt. Apart from a former title, only the "aristocratic style" in their bones is left, and Ivan was attracted by him
falls into this category.
Because a person's identity can be faked, but his temperament and conversation cannot be concealed at all.
The upper-class nobles of the Tulip Alliance, including the royal family, have had a history of intermarriage for hundreds of years, and many of the upper-class people have titles recognized by multiple countries at the same time.
There are no barriers between nobles from different countries. As long as they can maintain the dignity of the nobles, they can quickly integrate into the local circle.
For a young man like Ivan who could not even maintain basic aristocratic decency, but was able to stand up when the city encountered a crisis, in Nabry's view, he undoubtedly had the character of a traditional aristocrat.
So instead of looking down on him, he felt a sense of love for his talents.
One is a traditional aristocrat who is well-informed and is determined to support the younger generations. The other has knowledge and vision beyond the times and wants to know more about the upper echelons of the kingdom. Unexpectedly, they found that there were many common topics between them, and they talked about it for a while.
joyous.
"Your Excellency" At this moment, Nabri's adjutant suddenly walked in, glanced at Alvin with a strange expression, and leaned close to the Lord to whisper.
It turns out that after the battle, the work of cleaning up the battlefield was also completed.
The damage to people and property will not be counted until tomorrow, but the pirate corpses found have been collected.
Just now when the soldiers were counting the pirate corpses, they unexpectedly discovered Billy the Black Bear, the boatswain of the Blood Anchor!
This was a person whose name was on the Navy's bounty list. The Lord was convinced that no one in the entire city guard could be Billy's opponent except himself.
Moreover, the Lord has learned from the intelligence provided by the soldiers that the captain of the Blood Anchor did not actually disembark, and that Billy the Black Bear was the leader of the siege and the main culprit!
The leader of the pirate siege was killed. For Leopold, bad things could turn into good things, especially for him, the main person responsible, which was of great significance.
For the first time, Lord Nabry opposite Ivan straightened his body, and no longer had the casual posture that the superior had when facing the inferior at the beginning.
Ivan did not deliberately avoid others in his fight with Billy the Black Bear. The first group of soldiers who fought with the pirates were all witnesses.
Therefore, it is not difficult to guess who killed Billy, and judging from the fatal sword wound that sealed his throat with a sword, the killer's swordsmanship was far superior to Billy's.
It’s really shocking!
This is not over yet.
The adjutant just reported that, combined with the sword wounds on the pirates' corpses and the number of people he killed with bows and arrows, this young man alone left almost one-third of the pirates behind, which is comparable to the results of most of the city guards.
This made him no longer dare to look at this young, handsome and polite young man with ordinary eyes. The words of solicitation that had already reached his lips in the warm atmosphere could not be said out.
He hesitated several times, but in the end he looked at Alvin with his eyes wide open as if he were looking at a monster, and only said one sentence dryly:
"Your swordsmanship is very strong! I hope I can have a chance to compete with you in the future."
Chapter completed!
