I really didn’t expect that the honest man Sangji, who looks shy and loyal, has such an ability and can win the favor of girls without saying a word.

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

Alvin, who has different goals in life, is destined to drift away from this ordinary life. He can only silently wish Sanji happiness in his heart.

Walking on the road, Alvin looked at the note in his hand with a faint look in his eyes.

Having reached the peak of being a trainee knight, unless I am willing to spend several times the effort before, I will be able to smooth out the insignificant two digits after the decimal point and truly reach the limit of human beings. However, the gains outweigh the losses.

No extraordinary person who is determined to go a long way on the road of knights will deliberately pursue the limits of human beings.

Ivan is now confident that as long as he can get a bottle of Black Sea potion, he will have a great chance of becoming extraordinary.

As long as there is even the main ingredient "the extraordinary organ of the demonized shark", Alvin can try to collect the auxiliary ingredients according to the family's inherited medicine recipe and prepare a bottle of his own.

But even if the Black Sea potion is just the lowest level of potion in the knight's path, it still involves the extraordinary. The "extraordinary organ" as the main material is not something ordinary people like Ivan can easily find.

What's more, the choice of the main material now is related to the direction of the path after transcendence. It is a major event related to the knight's life and must not be careless.

So joining a force and using the power of the organization became Aiwen's only choice.

At this time, because new routes have been opened over the years, in order to deal with pirates, defend routes, compete with enemy arms, and other reasons, the Kingdom's navy, which is in urgent need of recruiting troops, came into Ivan's sight.

Only a new force that is developing rapidly like the navy can recruit talents in an eclectic way so that it can quickly stand out and then control a certain amount of power.

Only the navy would not worry about Ivan's identity as a descendant of a down-and-out noble from another country, and would give him ample opportunities for promotion. After all, the red-eyed navy now even accepts thieves and criminals, so Ivan is not bad at all.

In addition, Ivan is alone and has no backing at all. If he goes to a place like the Army Cavalry Regiment that pays attention to his background, he will be a soldier until he dies. So whether he is looking for his sister or seeking revenge against Ilya's enemies, it seems that the Navy is at the moment

All are the best choices.

In the end, Alvin still has some hidden selfishness.

In this magnificent era, sea routes are being continuously opened up, the true face of the world is being revealed little by little, and great geographical discoveries are in full swing. Wouldn’t it be a pity if we couldn’t participate in person?

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

The busy time always flies by, and before I know it, it’s the night before departure. Maybe it’s the mood of separation, but Ivan can’t fall asleep while lying on his bed.

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

Alvin, who has been alone since his previous life, has lived alone for a long time, and even has the feeling that this seaside town is his hometown. He is about to leave his hometown, and he unconsciously feels a little sad.

As I was tossing and turning with difficulty sleeping, it was gradually approaching the early hours of the morning, the darkest time of the day.

Boom

Boom

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

Then someone shouted:

"Pirates are attacking the city!"

"Pirates are attacking the city!"

With a start, Ivan woke up instantly, jumped up from the bed, opened the curtains and saw that there were already flames outside, shouting for death. Only then did he realize that pirates had really washed up on the shore.

Piracy is rampant in coastal areas, and incidents of pirates landing and plundering also occur.

But no matter how small Leopold is, it is still a city that retains city walls, 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 pirate siege.

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

He thought clearly that it might not be safe to stay at home at this time, especially in the business district where he lived. If the city was breached, pirates would be the first to plunder. It was better to take the initiative and keep the pirates out.

"Hey! Alvin!"

"Graeme!"

On the way, Ivan unexpectedly met Graeme, who also ran out after hearing the noise. The two briefly said hello and ran together towards the city gate on the other side of the pier, which was also the direction from which the sound of shelling came.

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 demand of the authorities.

Therefore, it is very common for hunters to be temporarily recruited to serve as scouts and other positions in the army.

Graeme, who was an excellent hunter and had participated in several military operations, and with the not too unfamiliar face of Ivan, approached the city gate unhindered in a veritable "chaos of war".

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

Two big holes were broken in the city gate, and part of the city wall, which was not originally high, collapsed due to fire or gunpowder explosions. It was no longer able to function as a defense against foreign enemies.

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

"Fire! Drive these damn pirates overboard!"

boom

boom

The soldiers lined up in three rows and fired alternately with flintlock muskets.

After only two rounds of shooting, before the smoke from the muskets had dissipated, a large group of pirates holding scimitars rushed up outside the city, roaring and screaming.

"Go ahead"

"Quack!"

"The cancer and garbage on the sea, let them taste the power of the Blood Anchor Pirates! The gold coins, wine and girls all belong to you! Hahaha"

"Long live the captain!"

"Kill them all!"

After the volley was fired, the soldiers, under the command of the officer, threw away their muskets and drew their sabers and stood ready. Although the current flintlock guns are very powerful, their reloading speed is too slow. If you want to shoot within ten steps, you are simply making a joke with your own life.

next moment.

boom

Two torrents of blades and guns collided together, and a bloody close-quarters fight began. Screams and howls were mixed with endless shouts of killing. Blood and limbs flew everywhere. Alvin and Graeme rushed to the city.

What I saw when I walked in was such a tragic scene.

After a long period of training, it was the first time for Aiwen to see a cold weapon battlefield in person. His body actually trembled slightly!

The splashing blood, the shrill screams before death, and the mutilated limbs all gave him a huge shock. Although the trembling was not due to fear, this scene was undoubtedly a test for him.

Snapped

Ai Wen was suddenly pushed by Graeme, "Ai Wen, don't be stunned, we are coming too, using bows and arrows to support you! Reinforcements will come soon."

Taking a deep breath, Ivan nodded vigorously, took off the yew longbow from behind, and used his own advantages to use his strength several times on the broken city wall to leap to the top of the city deftly.

With just one glance, the digital vision has marked out all the blurred enemies and enemies in the darkness, and the wind speed and direction have been updated and corrected in real time.

Bow and arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow broke through the air, shot from the mouth of a bearded man whose face was full of blood and was laughing wildly, and penetrated the back of the head.

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

At this time, Ivan had already turned his longbow and sent the arrow into the eye socket of the next pirate. His movements were coherent and concentrated. The situation on the battlefield no longer allowed him to fully understand what it was like to kill someone for the first time.

The primitive bow and arrow turned into a murder weapon more efficient than a musket in Ivan's hands!

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 low, but because muskets or musketeers are more cost-effective.

A well-trained and qualified archer requires several years of training, while an ordinary musketeer only needs a few days to master the use of a musket. The difference in efficiency is simply exponential.

Moreover, the requirements for accuracy in the era of queuing to kill were actually not high.

A qualified archer is required to be able to fire ten arrows in one minute, and that's not on a melee battlefield. With the help of his physical fitness and digital vision, Ivan can shoot one arrow in three to five seconds.

, the arrows are all fired, far more effective and more terrifying than the muskets.

By the time Graeme climbed up the stairs step by step, five pirates had been killed by Ivan's arrows, without any accidental injuries.

In comparison, although Graeme, who also used a bow to support him later, also made some gains, his efficiency and lethality were far from comparable to Aiwen's.

The extreme physical fitness of human beings gave Aiwen terrifying stability, maintaining a shooting speed of one arrow in three seconds. It took only a minute for him to climb to the top of the city to provide support. Both the enemy and us realized that a marksman with terrifying dominance had appeared on the battlefield.
