Chapter 20: The Whetstone
That breezy sentence made Brigadier General's heart shake.
On the eve of the World Conference, there are always many pirates and outlaws who attack the royal family.
These people are either for ransom or have accepted a commission from a certain party, and they have a very clear motive and purpose.
That's why the world government will let the navy take on the responsibility of escorting.
As long as this point in time, such attacks on the royal family are the norm in the Great Waterway, but they rarely happen in the four seas.
This tricky guy in front of him is coming for the Canette royal family......
Based on Maude's casual words, Brigadier General Bucktooth immediately confirmed Maude's motives.
As everyone knows, it was just a smoke bomb released by Maude.
"You're from there, aren't you?"
Maud stepped into the moon and rose into the air, glaring at Brigadier General Bucktooth, his right arm with the gun stretched out straight, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed in the direction of King Canette's ship.
There, at the same time, in the direction where another warship is located.
"Death!"
Brigadier General Bucktooth didn't want to waste his meaningless tongue, and with a kick of his foot, his body rushed towards Maude who was in the air like a sharp sword.
He doesn't know the Navy Six.
In terms of strength, although it is not as good as those monsters above, it can be regarded as one of the mainstays.
And what he relies on is a superb knife skill.
Brigadier General Bucktooth volleyed towards Maude, and a few meters away, he had already driven his knife to raise a series of seemingly meaningless crescent swords in front of him.
Hidden Knife!
The sword flashed quickly, shaking out a string of afterimages.
The long knife was supposed to lead in front of the afterimage, but it hid behind the afterimage in a flurry of bells and whistles.
The afterimage is in front, and the long knife is in the back.
This is a technique capable of deceiving vision, and it is fused into the knife technique by Brigadier General Bucktooth.
But......
Maude put away the gun and drew the knife, and as soon as he saw and heard it, a red light appeared in the depths of his eyes.
The long knife trail hidden in the afterimage of the sword was suddenly clearly visible.
Immediately after, Chidori struck straight out, blocking the long knife that Brigadier General Bucktooth slashed at at him.
In an instant, the dazzling afterimage disappeared at this moment.
Qiang ——!
The long knives collided, and sparks flew around.
The hidden knife was blocked, and Brigadier General Bucktooth's eyes froze.
His technique, what he is most afraid of is this ability to penetrate the virtual and the real at a glance.
Maude's hands gripping the hilt of the knife suddenly exerted force, suppressing Brigadier General's rush from the bottom up.
After gaining the advantage in the suppression, Maude's upper body leaned forward sharply, and at the same time, his feet stepped on the air one after another, using the moon step.
Bang bang!
The reaction force brought by the moon step was transmitted along Maude's body to the long knife.
The force of the blessing in vain caused Brigadier General's body to fall to the ground like a meteor, directly through the deck, and fell into the bilge.
After striking down Brigadier Bucktooth with a single sword, Maud lifted off into the air with a moonstep and stood on a crossbar near the mast lookout.
Before Commodore Bucktooth returned to deck, Maud took the time to fire two more shots, knocking out two more navies in the chaotic battle, somewhat reducing the pressure on Lafayette.
After firing two shots, Maude reloaded his ammunition while watching the king's ship and the other warship.
He noticed that the King Canette ship was tightening its sails in order to slow down away from the battle circle, while another warship took advantage of the wind to cross the king ship and approach this way.
The clear intention made the corners of Maude's mouth hook slightly.
Standing on a high ground will allow Maud to broaden her vision, while also exposing herself to gunfire.
The navy on another warship would not miss such a good opportunity, and immediately raised the muzzle of the gun and poured a wave of lead bullets at Maude on the crossbar.
Maud leaned back, and as she landed on the deck, she dodged the rain of bullets.
A backflip landed firmly on the deck, and Maud didn't pause, raising her gun to pull the trigger on the hole that Brigadier Bucktooth had smashed into the ground.
Bang!
The lead bullet that rolled through the rifling emitted a puff of smoke and went straight away.
At this moment, Brigadier General Bucktooth jumped out of the hole in the deck, and the predetermined buckshot came right in front of his face.
"Have you calculated the timing......
In a hurry, Brigadier General Bucktooth slashed the lead bullet in half with a single sword.
Before Brigadier General Bucktooth could put away his knife, Maud took advantage of the situation and slashed at Brigadier General Bucktooth with a thousand birds wrapped around the color of the armed color.
"Armed ......"
Brigadier General Luoya frowned slightly, hurriedly released an armed color, and immediately raised his knife to parry.
The moment the long knives collided, they were separated by a touch, and then collided with each other, shaking out sparks.
Qiang Qiang ......!
Maude wields a knife as fast as the wind, without any rules to speak of, a quick word supported by his physique alone.
Brigadier General Bucktooth was forced to take the move, but he was able to accurately block every knife that Maude slashed.
His swordsmanship can be seen.
"This little ghost's knife skills have not been honed, and there is still a trace of immaturity."
In just a few seconds of fighting, Brigadier General Bucktooth saw a flaw in Maude's offensive.
It's just that......
More than a dozen seconds passed.
Each side made dozens of knives.
Brigadier General Bucktooth, despite his insight into the flaws, was unable to respond effectively.
"It's a domineering ......"
Brigadier General Bucktooth's eyes lit up with a solemn look.
Armed color is such a thing, as long as you exercise day after day, and then guide it, even ordinary people can learn it.
It can be seen that the smell is different, and the proportion of talent is higher than hard work.
In this world, there are many people who are proficient in armed colors but are not good at seeing and hearing colors.
Brigadier General Bucktooth is one of them.
It's obviously a fast attack without any rules, but he can block his counterattack one step ahead of his sights and hears.
Brigadier General Bucktooth frowned.
You can see the flaws, but you can't break them.
It's a terrible feeling.
The unwilling Brigadier General Bucktooth made several more attempts, but the result was still a failure.
It's just one kick away from the door every time......
"Damn it."
Brigadier General Bucktooth scolded angrily in his heart.
With experience and reflexes alone, he was able to parry Maud's fast attack.
However, what he wanted was to defeat Maude, not a pointless overpass.
Compared to Brigadier General's eagerness, Maud enjoyed it.
Knife technique is different from physique, and hard practice every day is only to lay a solid foundation.
If you want to take your sword skills to the next level, actual combat is undoubtedly one of the fastest ways.
With each knife pair, Maude seemed to be able to see the experience points beating little by little.
"It's a feeling...... Not bad. ”
Maud smiled.
The uncle in front of him is not weak, but he is not strong either.
For him, it was a perfect whetstone.
Brigadier Bucktooth's gaze passed through the intertwined blades and landed on Maud's smile.
"Isn't it funny?"
Brigadier General Luoya's eyes were cold.
Maud just didn't hear it, focusing on each knife fight.
It is rare to find such a suitable opponent in a place like the East China Sea, and he must cherish this opportunity.
A few minutes passed, and Brigadier General Bucktooth sensed something.
"This guy...... Are you practicing with me? ”
The coldness in Brigadier General's eyes was even greater.
Meanwhile.
Lafayette chops down the last Navy soldier.
By the end of the battle, he had screened out a total of twenty-four heads that he considered qualified.
Lafayette first glanced at another warship approaching, and then at Maude, who was fighting Brigadier General Bucktooth.
With his eyesight, he could see that Brigadier General Bucktooth had the highest combat power on the two warships.
Therefore, before the troops on another warship rush over, it is better to work together to deal with Commodore Luoya first.
Thinking of this, Lafayette made a move.
"Don't help me."
However, Lafayette had only taken a few steps when he heard Maude's words.
"Understood."
Lafayette glanced at the happy look on Maude's face, smiled quietly, and turned to look at the approaching warship.
"I can't let you disturb Maude's interest......"
The tone was full of awe-inspiring killing intent.
