"The White Knight?!"
Previously, the Queen had conferred the rank of Brigadier General to Elvin instead of letting him fully devote himself to the cause of piracy.
Obviously, she did not want Elvin to lead the privateer fleet with his true identity. Otherwise, not only would it not benefit his future, but it would also be easy for the enemy to plot against him.
In the Transcendent World, if a powerful enemy truly hated you, as long as you had the means to pay the price, there were too many ways to take revenge on yourself, your family, and your friends.
Moreover, the opponent this time was the world's strongest country, and they were fully capable of doing so.
However, with the title of Brigadier General, even if his identity was eventually exposed, he could rely on the kingdom or even the Tulip Alliance to deter the other countries!
From this point of view, at least the kingdom did not have the dark idea of treating him as a disposable chess piece.
Elvin had only used the name of the White Knight once before, and it was during the battle against the former island.
However, the two captains sent by Sark and Atlan only knew that the White Knight belonged to Faletis, but they did not know his true identity.
Moreover, at the moment when all the countries were targeting Shilius.
Even if the White Knight's reputation gradually spread, and Shilius eventually learned from Sark that he was from Faletis, it was no longer important.
However.
In the eyes of the bearded Colonel Hubert Rudolph, the so-called White Knight who casually gave a pseudonym really did not know how to spell the word 'death'.
You dare to attack the treasure fleet that has never been plundered since the system of treasure fleets was established.
No matter who you are, and whether you can succeed or not, after today, the powerful Shilius will definitely tear you to pieces!
Especially when he was about to reach his destination and unload this heavy burden, he suddenly launched an attack on himself.
Even if the posthouse was filled with smoke, he knew that in an explosion of this scale, his side would definitely suffer heavy losses. In his heart, he was already extremely resentful of the White Knight!
Clang!
He pulled out the longsword at his waist and pointed it at the pass above his head, gritting his teeth.
"Damn pirate hiding his head but showing his tail! Come out if you dare! "
However, the White Knight who did not even reveal his true identity naturally did not have the so-called righteous spirit of a Knight.
She responded to him with practical actions.
Bang —!
With a slightly different gunshot sound, one of the two majors who were commanding the surviving soldiers to counterattack fell to the ground.
Rudolph's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as blood splattered everywhere. His instinct as an elite officer made him realize that there was still a powerful archer in the enemy's formation.
They could not allow him to shoot freely from the mountain pass. Otherwise, not only would they not be able to protect the huge amount of wealth they were escorting, but they would also be completely annihilated today!
"Bastard, hand over your life!"
Boom!
Stepping on the ground, he rushed up the steep slope at the bottom of the mountain pass with a violent gust of wind. Using the tall and dense trees as cover, he used his hands and feet to climb up quickly.
The terrain was no longer an obstacle for a superhuman at his level. The jagged rocks, crisscrossing tree branches, and even a vine could provide him with excellent leverage.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In just a few breaths of time, he had already risen by half.
Seeing this.
Elvin, who had created an absolute advantage for his side with two attacks, put away the "Thorny Golden Rose" in his hand and instructed William and Gary beside him.
"You can't intervene in the battle between the Peak Knight, so I'll leave the rest to you.
Don't deliberately hold back during the battle. Protect yourselves first. It doesn't matter if there are survivors to prove our great achievements! "
"Understood!"
The Seagull Scouts had been following them for nearly a month. With Elvin's memory, not to mention the number of people in the team and their strength, he even knew the name of each person clearly.
He had also formulated his tactics accordingly.
Today, he was sure that he would be able to take down this troop of precious horses!
Whoosh!
He did not use his signature swordstick. Instead, he pulled out a half-handed sword that he had prepared beforehand and jumped down from the top of the mountain pass. Stepping on the scattered branches in the rainforest, he swooped down like a bird of prey.
"Ha! Go back! "
Physique 4.99, Strength 4.99, Dexterity 4.99. With his physique that had long been unmatched among the Level 2 Knight, plus the help of diving from above.
Elvin waved the half-handed sword in his hand with the momentum of thunder splitting mountains and slashing down at the bearded colonel.
The two swords clashed.
Boom!
After a thunderous explosion that resounded over the rainforest, Rudolph had already crushed the branches under his feet and slammed down from a large tree up to 40 meters high.
Whoosh —
He smashed all the plants in the rainforest and fell to the ground.
However, there was a very strange layered structure in the rainforest.
From top to bottom, there was the exposed layer, the canopy layer, the young tree layer, the shrub layer, and the ground layer. Below the ground was the weathered layer that could reach up to 100 meters deep. In the three-dimensional space, there were a variety of extremely rich plants.
Rudolph, who fell from the exposed layer, lived up to his Transcendent status as a Peak Knight. Before landing, he had already slowed down the branches around him and successfully stopped the momentum of his fall.
With his strong physique, he nimbly flipped over and jumped to the top of a tree located in the canopy layer of the rainforest.
In this area 20 meters above the ground, the canopy grew horizontally, forming a continuous green sea of trees.
And because of the active magic element in the New World, the wood here was tougher than ordinary tropical trees and could allow an adult to stand on it.
Whoosh!
However, before Rudolph could regain his footing, the white knight who had knocked him down had already pounced on him. He passed through the hole that Rudolph had created in the upper layer and landed on the canopy like a nimble cat.
Whoosh!
The dense canopy under his feet didn't even shake.
"Whoosh!"
It was not until this moment that Rudolph was finally able to see the White Knight's face clearly.
He was wearing a white mask on his face and holding an ordinary half-handed sword in his hand. He was tall and straight, wearing a hunting suit and long leather boots.
Even though the temperature in the rainforest was over 33 degrees Celsius and covered in mud, the White Knight's clothes were neat and tidy. There was not even a drop of sweat on his clothes, let alone filthy.
Compared to Rudolph and the others who had been trekking in the rainforest for nearly a month, the White Knight was like heaven and earth.
Rudolph's heart skipped a beat when he judged the White Knight's appearance. In the jungle, one could only care about one's appearance when one had the strength to survive.
How could he underestimate an enemy who was like a spring hunt?
"A strong enemy!"
However, the responsibility on his shoulders did not allow him to retreat. And his only chance …
Rudolph reluctantly tidied up his clothes. He held the sword in his right hand and pointed the tip of the sword to the sky. He put his left hand behind his back and slightly bowed forward.
This was the nobleman's etiquette for sword duels in the New World. Normally, even if there was a deep hatred between the two parties, clothes and etiquette were indispensable in a sacred sword duel ceremony.
Other than the colonel, Rudolph was a Knight of the lowest rank among the nobles. He owned a small fief of his own, which was similar to Elvin's Knight of God's Favor granted by the Tulip.
"Huh? You want to duel with me in a place like this? "
People who played this game on the battlefield either had really carved the nobleman's tradition into their bones or were really stupid.
However, in a situation where he had the absolute advantage, Elvin did not mind fulfilling Rudolph's last wish and granting him the way he chose to die.
Rudolph's feet were in a T-shape, and his right hand was also holding the sword to the sky. His movements were elegant and calm, and much more pleasing to the eye than the bearded old man opposite him.
But just as Elvin bowed slightly, Elvin's expression changed.
Rudolph, who looked like a straightforward person, suddenly pulled out a strange-looking huge flintlock from his waist with his left hand. He aimed at Elvin and pulled the trigger at lightning speed.
Bang!
Ten consecutive gunshots were heard.
At present, the highest number of barrels in flintlock pistols was called "Jell's Pipe Organ." It had two rows of five barrels, and as long as the trigger was pulled, ten bullets could be fired at once.
It was made by an excellent alchemist and a master gunsmith, Jell, and was very rare in the world.
Within a distance of ten meters, it could tear the enemy into pieces like a flaming storm.
Although it had many shortcomings such as cumbersome loading, insufficient reliability, excessive weight, and strong recoil, it was not a problem for a peak-level Knight.
"Hahaha, die!"
The bearded man laughed heartily.
Even if he was a peak-level Knight, he was only a mortal and could not shoot lead bullets at close range. Even if he could not hit the vital parts due to the accuracy of the shots, it was enough to create an opportunity for himself, who was also a peak-level Knight.
It was enough to turn the tables!
However.
The next moment, his laughter came to an abrupt end.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The white Knight's shiny longsword turned into a solid phantom, and it tore through the air with a sharp screech.
Sparks flew everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, the lead bullets were caught by the half-sword in his hand and fell at the white Knight's feet, and then fell through the gaps in the canopy.
[Sword Style: Screech!]
"You f * cking pissed me off!"
There was a smile at the corner of his mouth, but cold wind seeped out from the gaps between his teeth.
He had always been the one who tricked others, but today he was almost tricked by a seemingly forthright bearded man.
Karma came quickly.
[Physical Liberation — 80%!]
He crushed the canopy under his feet with a bang, and his body shot out like a crossbow.
Swoosh —
"I declare, your way of death is … to be cut into pieces!"
