Chapter 124: A Great Victory

"Tom!"

Aldrich lifted his foot onto the pedals, the two ships trembling imperceptibly, but hidden by the undulating tide of the sea, paced towards Reyek Whaletooth, not a source of burning into the rage of order, but with the power of a violent bear by adjusting the rhythm of his breathing.

"Roar!" the bloody centurion was surprised to "see" behind the strange knight, the sleeping bear quietly awoke, the man stood up and raised his head and roared like a declaration of victory, he felt victory out of his hands for the first time, both worried and desperate for the battle that was about to break out.

Aldrich, who is slightly shorter than Reyek Whaletooth, holds his sword in front of him with both hands, and the horizontal blade covers the right half of his face, and then rests it upright in the middle of the tip of his nose, which is the most formal ancient ceremony.

So much so that the berserker who adhered to tradition had to respond immediately with an axe, and when both men lowered their weapons at the same time, silent, the onlookers on both ships held their breath in anticipation of the ensuing battle that could break out at any moment.

There was a deathly silence, the two of them observed each other's flaws, or loopholes that could be exploited, only the sound of the breaking waves of the sea crashing against the side deck of the ship, and the occasional seagulls, albatrosses, petrels and other birds flew by, but always deliberately avoided the pedal area, as if this had become a terrible forbidden area.

Waiting for a long time to capture the decisive moment was definitely a calm man, not a grumpy, flamboyant berserker, the tense string of reason in the mind of Reyek Whaletooth was burned by rage, and he gasped and stepped forward, slashing with a heavy axe on both sides.

"Hmph!" The half-circle step accelerated, and the blunt-headed heavy sword that came first chose to hit hard, and the tip of the sword with good steel fire slashed on the jagged blade of the axe, and the two sides were like being electrocuted, and they immediately frustrated as soon as they fought and took half a step back.

As if he had been slapped on the arm by a bear's paw, Reyek Whaletooth's entire right hand was unconscious in pain, and his heart sank heavily, and he hurriedly exchanged his hands, secretly exerting his left hand, hiding his right hand in the hope of recovering his combat strength as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Aldrich, who was unconscious, regained his breath very quickly, and slashed away again with his sword in both hands, and in desperation, the bloody centurion could only use the double-sided heavy axe as a shield to resist.

With a "click", in the middle of the pedal, a frightening crack appeared under Rejek's feet, and he shamefully used the skill of unloading the force to turn away the damage he had suffered.

However, the mystery can be seen, there are only a handful of people on the two ships, and it is understood that the two sides are not evenly matched, but Aldrich almost crushes the opponent on the ground.

The leader of the Penguin's ship, the chief knight who had reached the pinnacle of his life, was relieved that the stone hanging in his throat fell heavily, feeling that he had the fourth Knight of Eastwood on his ship, which was really good.

Losing sensation in both hands, the bloody centurion found that the chances of victory were extremely slim, and the opponent who looked like a giant bear in the form of a man not far away was adjusting the rhythm of his breathing to reorganize the attack, and the target was his head as expected.

"No, never!" The silk strings of reason burned in his brain, and the abandonment of everything Rejek Whale Tooth slammed down, and the pedal trembled violently because of this blow, directly disrupting Aldrich's attack rhythm and disturbing the balance of his body's center of gravity.

The erect anger rushed through the bloody centurion's body like hot lava, his exposed chest bulged high, and the muscles of his whole body swelled violently as if he were blowing, so that all the scars that had healed in the past were torn apart and disintegrated, and the bright red blood flowed down in wisps, forming abstract runes along the textured body.

At the moment of life and death, the berserker who broke free from the senseless moral shackles and liberated the crazy nature in his body, exerting his 150% strength, appeared in front of Aldrich Tris, the numbness of his hands disappeared in an instant, and his strength continued to surge out from all parts of his body, giving Rjerk Whale Tooth, who was dominated by his fighting instinct and turned into a beast through and through.

Instead of cheering in unison for the blood-stained captain, the men of the Dragon-headed Battleship cowered and felt a heavy uneasiness, and the Penguin's crew was no exception, all of whom were stunned by the berserker who had witnessed it for the first time, and fell into a terrible silence.

The mood of the chief knight was like two warships undulating on the sea, sometimes falling at the trough, sometimes climbing to the top, and he once again lost the grasp of the future, which was a very bad feeling, but he could not speak to it in his duty.

"Overdraw your body and use full power, but it's a pity that you are far from Baruch, he is the only person I have ever seen who has entered the second stage of madness, and he is still defeated in my hands. โ€

Aldridge's abundant source of burning went straight into the transcendent state of Order's Fury, his body resembling that of a metallic Titan, and even the blunt-headed heavy sword he held seemed to be stained with a touch of sacred pale gold flames.

"Kill!"

The fearless berserker slashed with his axe, the wind broke out a terrible scream, Aldrich came first, and Shenghua's sword slashed at each other.

"Keng...... Boom!" The ordinary double-sided heavy axe was overwhelmed by the violent conflict between two unrivaled forces, and cracked into countless large and small fragments on the spot, and the blunt-headed heavy sword performed slightly better, but the shovel-shaped tip also shattered.

After losing the main body of the weapon, he still held the hilt of the axe and slashed in vain, while Tris seized the opportunity to predict the direction in advance, and slashed horizontally with the broken sword in one hand, and with a snort, took the head of the berserker.

The bloody centurion, who had lost his head, still had the strength to fight, but the victory or defeat had already been decided, and he did not want to see the warrior's body insulted by the laity, Aldrich slapped his sword horizontally and knocked the berserker's headless body into the sea.

"Next!"

The tradition of death at sea continued, and Tris stopped burning the source of faith and withdrew from the inhuman transcendent state of Order Fury, but the pressure on the dragon head was too great for anyone to dare to go up to their deaths - they had clamored for Reyek Whaletooth to kill the Penguin's crew.

However, the prejudice of most mortals could not affect the warriors on the same ship, seeing that Aldrich's demeanor was a little sluggish, and his weapons had become much shorter, some people recalled the brief scene that had just happened, and after thinking about it repeatedly, they decided that this knight with amazing strength had previously used some kind of high taboo that overdrafted his physical strength and even his life, and now he was weak and waiting for death, or took the opportunity to recover.

Soon, a bald man, a warrior with a burly physique no inferior to a bloody centurion, lifted his heavy weapon like an anchor, and stepped on the decisive pedal amid the cheers of the crowd.

If he wins, he will take the place of Reyek Whaletooth, and although he will not be able to burn his blood and increase his combat power by a madness multiplier, the captain's position will also ensure a prosperous life in the future.

His yellow-brown waist-length beard, which was too fluffy, had to be tied into two three-strand braids, and when he came to Aldrich with a heavy anchor like a battering ram, he suddenly saw a transcendent knight who opened his eyes instantly, and a touch of light gold that did not belong to mortals quietly dispersed from the corners of his eyes.

"Bartmund, please grant me the glory of battle. โ€

Aldrich nodded slightly, his eyes just swept over the Harold warriors opposite, and then turned to the anchor-shaped heavy weapon, adjusted the rhythm of his breathing, and entered the battle with a different state of mind.

The warrior named Beatmund was more breathless than the berserker, and he couldn't wait to attack, but Aldrich, who used the two-handed sword as a heavy hammer, used two blows, and he understood that the hopeless situation that Rayek Whaletooth had just faced had befallen him.

Completely abandoning the attack, crouching sideways with the anchor in both hands, Biatmund was like a red-hot material on an anvil, constantly beaten by Aldrich's heavy hammer, struggling to endure, enduring the ridicule and ridicule of his companions behind him, and regretting his foolish decision to challenge and defeat the captain.

Half of Beatmund's body was unconscious, his bones creaking with a tooth-aching creak, as if he was dissatisfied with his foolishness, his mouth and nose choking on dark red blood, and his internal injuries intensified.

"Whew!" Aldrich was about to regain his breath a little and adjust the rhythm of his breathing, when Biatmund, who thought he had had an opportunity, suddenly rose to his strength and threw the anchor-shaped hammer towards where he was standing.

"Smack!" Grabbing the spherical anchor head with one hand, the rare heavy weapon was frozen in the air, and the smile on the face of the Harold who had not yet dissipated his joy was frozen on his face, and was reversed by Tris and used his weapon to sweep into the sea.

"Next!"

The two strongest warriors were "easily" picked up by the other horsemen, and the crew of the dragon head battleship was like a wolf with a broken backbone, losing all hope of victory, and the will was depressed as if they had collectively stepped into the cemetery, dug a pit for themselves, and then jumped down to bury themselves.

One by one, the Harolds went to the execution ground, handed their necks to the gallows called Aldrich Triss, put the rope snares on them, and kicked off the wooden boxes on their feetโ€”of course, there were also warriors who succeeded in kicking a few times, and the eyes of everyone on both ships were unexpectedly thrown into the sea.

Aldridge easily completed the 100-man challenge, and suddenly noticed something strange in it: "No! Even if my strength is close to that of the Great Knight, I can't defeat a hundred Harolds so easily." And they all ended up falling into the sea, and some people's eyes were even a little impatient. โ€

He lowered his head and looked at it, and couldn't help but laugh in surprise, it turned out that most of the so-called warriors were alive and well, constantly treading water and grabbing the gaps in the gangway, like a swarm of ants clinging to the dragon-headed battleship.

"After the disappearance of the Odin gods, the Harolds they favored have lost their bravery and enterprising spirit, become cowardly and cowardly, and are no longer the wolves of the North Sea who suppressed the West continent in the old days, and deserve the title of children of frost and fire. โ€

A hundred warriors overboard, and the rest of the Dragon's Ship were ordinary sailors, who left their positions in the tradition of surrendering to Aldrich Triss, the sole winner of the battle to the death.

In front of everyone's eyes, the knight who had completed the hundred-man battle came to the dragon head battleship through the pedal, looked around and found nothing abnormal, so he announced on the spot that the crew was exempted from being prisoners.

He did not intend to follow the traditional move to win the hearts and minds of the people, and the sailors who were also capable of fighting secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the dragon warship was quickly lowered to half-mast to show submission. The merchant ships of the three North Sea countries watching the battle not far away did not dare to make any rash moves, and under the pirate flag of the Penguin, the shipowner handed over the ransom of 30% of the cargo or the equivalent of precious stones and other valuables in exchange for the right to leave the harbor.

Most of the Harolds who fell into the sea were rescued and left on a downwind boat, and the cowards who lost the blood of their ancestors made me want to vomit. โ€

The knight of the Commandments, Phils Bargan, listened attentively to the chief knight's complaints, and nodded in agreement, but did not express any opinion, this uncooperative attitude made the Penguin giants extremely dissatisfied, but for the sake of the fourth knight, he did not dare to be too embarrassed.

Aldrich opened the cabin of the dragon head battleship, took out bundles of arrows and piled them on the deck, and the whole crew carried them back to the Penguin by pedaling. Triss is now the most prestigious, and even the chief knight has to look at his face - having a subordinate far superior to his own is definitely a headache for anyone who ascends to the throne.

His Excellency Tris, the Fourth Knight, had risen to a very high position on the Penguin through this battle, and was originally just an "elite sailor", but now the adventurers gathered around him now accounted for half of the crew of the ship, and in fact formed a semi-divided force - if he hadn't cared about the foundation of Eastwood City, and still respected the knight on the surface, the leader of the Penguin would have to be replaced.

Following the strong is the absolute right choice for all adventurers who go to sea, but based on the established original order, Aldrich, whose personal strength is far superior to that of the chief knight, has no intention of challenging this, even if there are many people who secretly signal, or even directly instigate it regardless of dignity, do not want to be bound by their collective will.

"Indifferent to praise, calm to scolding and insulting, impartial to the subject, not driven by the spur of the subject. โ€

"Unshakable iron will, tolerant of cold words, cold and majestic without losing warmth, strong wrists to fight back accurately. โ€

The man in black, who had been staying in the bilge of the Penguin, and the senior judge of the Dark Police Department who was directly under the Grand Duke of Eastwood, witnessed the battle from beginning to end, and the observation of the fourth knight, Aldrich Triss, had ended, and he quietly came to the side of the chief knight, and picked up a random chant of the legend of Fred the Confessor in the "Legend of Kings".

"I guess it's a bad idea, Lord Triss is not only a respectable traditional knight, but also a lord of a rich manor, and will not challenge the established order. โ€

"That's right, the Penguin is really lucky to have this crew close to the Grand Knight by force, and it is better to show the intention of cooperation with him, and I believe that His Excellency Triss will definitely cooperate tacitly. I have this confidence!"

"Then, let's go and greet the heroes who have stepped down from the battlefield and triumphed. The chief knight put aside his prejudices and spread his hands out, ready to embrace Aldrich Tris.
