Chapter 174: A Powerful Man
The "White Sail Swordsmanship", which originated from the art of ship fighting, was taught by the "Black Wing Order", and the "Sesi Scimitar Technique", which was widely spread among the pirate community.
Ship combat is what the two sword users are best at.
But.
At this time, it seemed to be a temporary tie, but it was the result of the combined effect of Ai Wen's already quietly opening the "Wild Talisman" to increase his agility attribute by twenty percent, coupled with the combination of mortal swordsmanship with a higher quantitative level than his opponent.
In the past half a year, after continuous speculation and many desperate battles with the recorded "Rose Sword Saint" swordsmanship, it has made greater progress than when he fought against His Royal Highness. If you subdivide the swordsmanship level of "Mastery", Aven's mastery progress has reached 7o%, while "Iron William"'s mastery progress may only be 5o%.
In addition, although judging from the data, William's every physical fitness is better than Aven.
But after Aivan's personal experience, when it comes to real battles, judging the level depends on more than just data. After the completion of the transformation, the human body is a sophisticated system, and this "platform" can integrate each module called "physical fitness" to produce an effect that 1+1 is far greater than 2.
Otherwise, wouldn't the sum of two peak apprentice knights already be greater than the strength of a full-fledged knight who broke through the limits of the human body?
Previously, Aven's opponents were either too much weaker than him or "monsters" in various senses, such as: White Shark Cook, out-of-control Wack Wells, and the weird "Killer", and this aspect of the performance is not obvious.
This time, the opponent was a normal human knight, a civilian who came into contact with mortal swordsmanship later and had worse resources.
As a normal human being, how could he be as simple as superficial data compared to Ai Wen, who started knightly cultivation since he was a child, and then advanced with a perfect posture with the assistance of the precious "Blue Flag Demon Shark" mortal characteristics?
But despite this, Ai Wen has not used it except for the secret swordsmanship now, and he has already taken out all the skills of an official knight!
After all, now it is not a matter of sparring with Her Royal Highness, who is also a senior knight, but with a real "pirate", even if this guy has a good reputation, but it is not a reason for Evan to dare to slack off.
Even so.
Aiwen's combat effectiveness was still beyond the expectations of the former naval officer and current pirate captain. I thought that he was just a fledgling young man, and he should be able to win it soon, and give a lesson to consolidate the prestige of "Iron William" in this sea area.
I didn't expect it to be so difficult!
You must know that the double knife technique is more difficult to practice than the single knife, but it is also more frequent and powerful than the single knife when it is really used well.
This young major officer can hold out under his own scimitar for so long, which is far from being as simple as an ordinary formal knight on the surface.
A knight's hard power is usually composed of physical fitness, swordsmanship, secret mysteries and sophisticated equipment, etc., plus soft power such as combat awareness, combat experience and a little luck.
In the case that his physical fitness is obviously inferior to his own, he relied on his exquisite swordsmanship to maintain an undefeated situation.
At this age, it should never be an ordinary person!
"Oh, interesting!"
The two of them had already jumped onto the mainmast of the merchant ship and flew between the gaps in the cables, sail trusses, and sails. With their current physical fitness, even a fall from the top of a twenty-meter-high mainsail is unlikely to be fatal.
It has long been gone that the thrill of the high-altitude death fight between Evan and "Blood Anchor Zack" at that time has long gone.
At this time, the crew of the "Conch" had long noticed the battle on the ship, and there was no reason for the captain to fight alone.
As the first mate approached the merchant ship closer to the ship, the sailors were already lining up on deck.
"Ready!" Gary, as warrant officer acting boatswain, was ready for a broadside battle that could come at any moment.
It's just that on rainy days, the front-loading flint guns have basically been scrapped. The soldiers drew their naval sabers one after another, turning into a forest of swords, and when they waited for the commander to give the order, they would fly forward.
Seeing that the naval warship was already approaching, "Iron William" knew that there was no way to tell the winner in a short time.
"Hey, it's coming fast! I won't play with you, we'll see you again!"
In Gao Jiao's hands, he can still speak at will, which also proves that he is at ease at this time, and he is indeed worthy of his resounding reputation.
A shock of the twin blades forced Evan back, and immediately, "Iron William" had already jumped off the top sail of the second level of the mainmast.
However, instead of falling into the sea like a stone as Evan imagined, his body suddenly flattened, his arms stretched out like butterfly wings, and his two scimitars formed a structure like the pelvic fins of a flying fish, and he glided and flew out!

Although it was not dexterous in the air, it was extremely fast, making a wonderful arc, and even easily cutting off the front mast of a merchant ship by the way.
After the demonstration, "Iron William" laughed and walked away.
The flattened figure rubbed the surface of the sea and "flew" higher and farther than the flying fish, and suddenly disappeared into the misty rain and fog.
"There's a strong guy who has come to the seas, and he doesn't talk as well to his men as I am. Young man, I look forward to your growth!"
Before disappearing completely, he said an inexplicable word in the tone of a senior.
"Powerful fellow?!Is there anyone in this sea who is stronger than the navies of other countries?"
When he rushed back to the "Conch" and took out his "Golden Rose" through the scope, "Iron William" had already "flew" out of the range of the sniper musket.
"Let him escape, damn it!"
Let's be honest.
Although he was suppressed for a time in the sword fight, Aiwen's psychology has always been in a downward attitude, because his methods are far more than knightly swordsmanship.
Alchemy muskets, sorcery and exhilaration, several carefully prepared potions, various alchemy tools obtained from the "Violet Eye", and the Seabird Legion that has gradually formed combat power, and so on.
But this former naval officer of the Kingdom of Taylor taught himself a lesson with his superb sword skills, even if he is a knight, there are still many tricks that can be played.
The "old" pirates who survived a hundred battles each had two brushes.
To treat them as merit that can be harvested at will is to be absolutely irresponsible to yourself and your crew.
Watching the "Iron William" leave calmly, Aivan, who had ascended to the captain's high position at a young age, was slightly complacent, but his heart gradually calmed down.
Although this set of "Seci's scimitar" is widely circulated among pirates, Aven has also learned about it from many sources, and even keeps the complete copy of this set of knives in the "Shadow Library".
However, this move, [Secy's Scimitar: Mystery Wind Return], has never been seen in any records. Obviously, the most likely thing is that William, a talented knight from a civilian background, has made improvements.
Not to be underestimated.
In addition, Evan is also very interested in the strong man in William's mouth.
If ordinary people said this, Ai Wen would never care too much, but if he could let this kind of arrogant and rebellious guy call him a "strong person", this person would never be so simple, and it would even affect the situation in this sea area.
"Is there something big going on?"
It's useless to guess, and there are tall people on top of it when the sky falls.
Evan told Gary to go with him to the merchant ship to release the bound crew and forbid anyone else to board the ship for safety reasons.
Even if they were all his own subordinates, it would be a big problem to let them see the contents of the cabin, so they simply stopped it from the beginning.
With a soft hand, and there is a lesson from the sudden killing of "Iron William", Aven's order not to go on board for inspection was well carried out by the crew.
The sailors also had a simple idea.
Anyway, this trip was entrusted by the viscount to pursue the pirates, and the ship was not strictly speaking his own trophy, but still belonged to the trusting party, Viscount Andrea.
No matter what is on the ship, there is no copper fur relationship with him, so why take any more risks?
Without much communication with these people who were doing the black work for Viscount Andrea, and after briefly explaining their identities to appease them who were in shock, Evan returned to his warship with Gary.
Later, the Conch escorted the Twintail merchant ship to safe waters to ensure that the merchant ship would not have any further problems, and then they returned to the sea.
The trip was long enough that they needed to report back on the operation.
"Navigator, how long will it take for us to return directly to Gabrid?"
Hearing this, the navigator Adrien bowed and said:
"Your Excellency, if we return to Leopold as originally cruined, it will take about three to four days to sail along the coastline. If we sail directly to the open sea along the merchant shipping route, it will only take about two days. β
"Then let's go to the open sea. After a moment's hesitation, Evan made a decision.
"As you wish!, Your Excellency!"
The Conch turned its bow and set sail again.
