Chapter 11: The Lord
Without further delay, Evan turned and continued to kill towards the city.
If the pirates were allowed to sabotage and plunder the city, even if the city guards were resisting, it was unknown how many casualties and losses would be caused, which Evan could not tolerate.
"Ahh
"Spare your life!"
"Run—"
At this time, the fierce and vicious pirates fell one after another under the sword of Aven like weak lambs.
With the exception of bosses like Billy, the average pirate has few enemies for Evan in close combat.
Luckily, most of the pirates had already emptied their muskets during the siege, and had no chance to reload in the heat of the battle, even Billy the Black Bear.
Even touching the gun at the end was just trying to trick Aven, which Aven discovered when he captured his musket.
As long as he is not caught fire by the musket, Ai Wen, who has reached the limit of mortals, is like a fierce general who dared to rush into the enemy line and mow the grass in ancient times, without fear!
Therefore, when facing pirates with only swords in street fighting, the pirates with less than three people were almost one-sided and slaughtered by Aven, and it was at this time that he had a clear understanding of the power he had.
As the minutes passed, more and more pirates fell under Aiwen's sword, and occasionally encountered the soldiers of the city guards who fell down, and he also rescued them.
Wherever there were shouts of killing and cries for help, Evan would charge wherever he went.
Finally, after Evan slaughtered the pirates who were looting in a jewelry store.
Bang –
Bang –
A steady stream of gunfire rang out in the city, apparently a large reinforcement had finally arrived.
"It's not too late. ”
At this time, as long as the pirate captain is not dizzy, he must fight desperately, and the retreat signal should be issued quickly.
Evan looked at the time, and because of his own obstruction, the pirate group was unable to quickly annihilate the guards of the city under the perfect start of the collapse of the city wall, and the time to break the city was greatly delayed.
Although the pirate siege had already begun, it was only twelve minutes before the city was breached. With the quality of the current army, it is remarkable that it can be fully assembled in such a short period of time, and it is already very remarkable to send reinforcements to the city.
Phew-
Sure enough, soon there was a sharp whistle outside the city, and whether it was gained or not, the pirates who heard the whistle began to quickly assemble and evacuate.
Instead of actively intercepting the pirates, Evan stopped by to check that there was no sign of a pirate invasion in his pharmacy or Sanchi's house. When the situation was completely stabilized, he returned to his home after he was relieved.
However, after Evan came home, he cleaned up and washed up, and just sat down for a while.
The grizzled Graeme broke in in a hurry, and when he saw that Evan was really at home, he dragged him out with a happy face.
"Come with me, Aven, Lord Nabry wants to see you. It's a good thing!
"Lord Nabry?" Evan had no choice but to let Grim pull him out of the house again.
Lord Nabry, of course, he knew who it was, the famous prefect of the city guard, Leopold's famous swordsman. But he didn't think he had much to do with the lord, and at what was supposed to be the busiest time after the war, he didn't know why he wanted to see him by name.
On the way, Grim also explained to Evan his experience after the two separated.
Sure enough, he is a hunter who is more "cunning" than a fox, and after watching the pirates attack the city, Graem did not carry his hunting knife to fight the pirates, but directly used the excuse of reporting battlefield intelligence to meet the reinforcements.
As a supernumerary hunter scout, although his behavior is not very good, others can't blame him.
It's no wonder that Evan chased the pirates all the way and didn't find this guy. Only now did he know that this guy had defected to the reinforcements before he dared to return to the battlefield together.
When the fighting subsides and the pirates retreat.
Lord Nabry, the commander of the city guard, heard the report of the first soldiers stationed at the wall, and knew how powerful Aven was to dominate the battlefield with a bow and arrow, and he was eager to meet the marksman.
After all, he had made great contributions in this pirate invasion, and it was reasonable for the garrison commander to express it.
Soon, in a small outpost by the collapsed walls for the city guards, Aven met Lord Nabry.
Lord Leopold, who was known for his swordsmanship, wore no military uniform, but a fine sword hanging from his waist, more like a pampered nobleman than a kingdom officer.
After a brief greeting.
The Lord invited Aven to sit down on the enclosed sofa, and looked at Aven's clean and handsome face, straight back, and hands with slight calluses that clearly held swords, and asked with great interest:
"Aristocrats?"
Evan smiled back with a proper smile, not admitting or denying it.
Seeing that Evan didn't have any family crest on his body to identify him, Nabry nodded, thinking he understood something. I didn't ask anymore, but my attitude was a lot warmer all of a sudden.
Ai Wen didn't know that in just one sentence.
The Lord had already labeled him a son of a declining aristocracy. There is a legacy, there is insight, there is an ambition to revitalize the family, but there is a lack of an opportunity.
Just like when I was younger.
This is a common occurrence, especially with the rise of the new business aristocracy, which is increasingly forced to leave their homes after bankruptcy and more and more. In addition to a former title, only the "aristocratic demeanor" in his bones remained, and Evan was classified into this category by him.
Because, a person's identity can be faked, but his own temperament and conversation cannot be concealed at all.
The upper nobility of the Tulip Alliance, including the royal family, has a history of intermarriage for hundreds of years, and many of them have titles recognized by multiple countries.
There is no barrier between the nobility of different countries, as long as they can maintain the dignity of the nobility, they can quickly integrate into the local circle.
For a young man like Aven, who could not maintain even basic aristocratic decency, but was able to stand up in the face of a crisis in the city, Nabry undoubtedly regarded the character of a traditional aristocracy.
So instead of looking down on it, a trace of love for talent rose.
As a traditional aristocrat, he has a wide range of knowledge and has the heart to promote the younger generations. One has insight and vision ahead of his time, and also wants to know more about the intelligence of the upper echelons of the kingdom. Unexpectedly, I found that the two had a lot of common topics, and they talked happily for a while.
"Your Excellency—" The adjutant of Nabry suddenly walked in, glanced at Aven with a strange expression, and leaned over to the Lord and whispered.
It turned 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 bodies of the pirates that have been searched have been collected.
Just now, when the soldiers were counting the corpses of the pirates, they accidentally found Billy the Black Bear, the sailor of the Blood Anchor!
This is the person who is on the Navy's bounty list. The Lord was convinced that there might be no one in the entire city guard who was Billy's opponent except himself.
Moreover, the Lord has learned from the information provided by the soldiers that the captain of the Blood Anchor did not actually get off the ship, and Billy the Black Bear is the leader of this siege, and he is the main culprit!
The pirate leader of the siege was beheaded, and a bad thing could turn into a good thing for Leopold, especially for him, the main person responsible.
For the first time, Lord Nabry, who was opposite Evan straightened up, and there was no longer the casual posture of the superior facing the inferior at the beginning.
Evan didn't deliberately hide from others in his fight with Billy the Black Bear, and the first group of soldiers who engaged the pirates were eyewitnesses.
So it's not hard to guess who killed Billy at all, and judging from the fatal sword wound from a sword that sealed his throat, the killer's swordsmanship was far above Billy.
It's really scary!
And that's not all.
The adjutant just reported that combined with the sword wounds on the pirates' corpses and the number of people he had killed with bows and arrows, this young man alone left almost a third of the pirates, 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, and he couldn't say anything about the solicitation that had already reached his lips with the warm atmosphere.
After a few times of wanting to speak, he stopped, and finally looked at Evan with wide eyes like a monster, and only spit out a sentence dryly:
"Your swordsmanship is very strong! I hope I can have a chance to learn it later." ”
Evan smiled back: "There will be a chance, Sir Sir!"
