The night passed quickly, and at least when Levi opened his eyes, he had already noticed a faint whiteness outside the window, illuminating the edge of the window with a little morning light. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, it's summer, and the nights in the North Trummaging Sea are not long, and the shortage of nights brings long days, at least the light is early, and the darkness is quite late.

The sound of birds chirping came from outside the tent, making Levi's spirit gradually concentrate, and he rubbed the corners of his eyebrows helplessly, and the quacking sound of many seagulls had also pierced his ears, making him frown slightly.

Once as a cargo captain, he didn't like seagulls like birds, Levi directly lifted the woolen blanket covering his body, and he didn't take off his trench coat at all, he just picked up his scimitar and reattached it to the hook of his belt, shook his somewhat stiff neck, turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Wake up." ”

"Time?"

On the bed made of haystacks next to him, Captain Hall also opened his eyes a little foggy. Turning his head to look at Levi, who had already stood up, he also stood up before he took off his clothes, stretched hard, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said, "It's six o'clock, and the time is about the same." ”

Licking his lips slightly, Captain Hall took out a kettle from the haystack next to him, and after a few sips, he quenched the thirst in his mouth, handed the kettle to Levi, and said, "They're not that diligent. ”

"But we can't compare with them."

Levi also took Hall's kettle, unscrewed the lid and poured two sips, it seemed that this was a wine jug before, and there was a slight smell of wine in the water, so Levi nodded lightly and said, "When you kill those guys, maybe it's time to celebrate." ”

Of course, he understood who Hall was talking about, because the Ketuff River thieves were now his current self, the only and greatest enemy.

Throwing the flask to Hale again, Levi had completely woken up from his sleep, looked at the four Barbary pirates who were also standing up in the tent, and frowned slightly: "But you still need to be cautious now." ”

After all, the reputation of the Ketuf River thieves is notorious, and they are Levi's worst enemy now, no matter what. To despise the enemy is to despise oneself, and this is something that Levi would not do.

Rather use a lion to fight a rabbit, and after a long time of cautious wait-and-see, he will use the strongest means to crush the enemy directly to death, but before he has come into contact with the temptation, Levi believes that putting himself in a relatively weak position will help the favorable arrangement in any future development process,

The faces of the four Barbary pirates were also solemn, and after scanning the tent vigilantly to make sure that there was nothing unusual, they walked to the door of the tent and lifted the thick fur curtain, allowing the sunlight outside to shine brighter inside the tent.

However, a faint fragrance also came, which made Captain Hall's eyes light up slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Green is ready, he can really arrange everything." ”

"Green has a lot of experience."

Levi also nodded, and the smell of wheat that was obviously boiling porridge made him can't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. Touching himself after a night's sleep, the empty stomach was making a protest sound, and he smiled approvingly: "There seems to be nothing he can't do." ”

"Almost all of the people who came out of the Ottomans were all-rounders."

Captain Hall also agreed, after all, it was the more competitive Ottoman Empire, and the Turkish country, which also had a complete learning concept, was not some third-rate Middle Eastern power that only knew primitive doctrines in later generations, and there was no shortage of talented and experienced people who once overwhelmed the glorious country of the entire Christian world.

"A new day." Levi walked out of the tent, the sky was still a little dark, and it was already full of morning light, and he subconsciously turned his head to look east, a round of yellow early morning sun was rising on the sea level, releasing its mighty power.

In the temporary fortress, on the civil engineering wall not far away, more than 20 Barbary pirates armed with scimitars were also standing straight, scattered vigilantly sweeping the situation outside, paying close attention to the surrounding wind and grass, obviously the sentinels who were on duty during this time period.

And even at the gate, which was improvised and bound with logs, although it was already open, there were also twenty Barbary pirates stationed with scimitars, and they looked very strong, and they didn't care if anyone around them saw their heroic appearance.

After all, they are the sentinels in charge of the entire temporary camp, and they are divided into four teams, black and white, and they need to deal with any abnormal situation.

In the event of any accident, they will be the first to rush up to control the scene, and no matter how bad it is, they will hold out until the arrival of reinforcements. But looking at the 7-pounder guns placed in the corners and on the walls, the same vigilant group of sailor artillerymen can also know that if there is really an enemy now, I am afraid that they will also be attacked by a round of artillery fire first.

This is the rules and regulations that have been arranged, and the experience of the first mate Green is also on full display at this moment, at least it will not disappoint Levi.

Breakfast was even more enticing, and in the corners of the docks, grills and cauldrons were already steaming on the fire, and as the smell spread throughout the makeshift fortress, many sailors were awakened.

"Captain Levi, breakfast is ready."

Seeing Levi walk out of the tent, First Officer Green, who was still busy, also put down the long-handled wooden spoon in his hand, handed it to the sailor next to him, and walked over quickly, with a little smile on his face: "Meals are eaten in batches, and today I have arranged to give priority to the sailors who went to ambush." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the sailors who were coming out of the cabin, the Barbary pirates and Ottoman sailors, and the Spanish sailors were chatting happily, and they also nodded: "Basically anyone can eat it, baked bread and salted meat, and arranging for people to make fish and barley porridge." ”

"It's a lot of money."

The roast lamb meal five days ago had already made Levi a little obsessed, and now it was a more hearty breakfast, which indeed made him forget about the upcoming military operation for a while. Turning his head to greet the group of sailors, Levi also commanded loudly: "Tell everyone, prepare for dinner, and quickly settle our current battle!" ”

"Understood." The surrounding sailors immediately shouted in unison. Without much excuse, the Spanish sailors and gunners, who had already been ready for battle, also came to the vicinity, picked up the wooden bowls and trays that had been washed and cleaned, and waited in line to be distributed.

They had practiced well in their tents, after all, they slept on land, more than twice as strong as the cramped hammocks in the cabin, and even the beds made of haystacks slept very soundly.

"Good work." Levi couldn't help nodding to First Officer Green, this old captain with a calm personality was really quite conscientious.

Whether it was two years ago or now, it was the first mate Green who was helping Levi deal with the details, and all of them were arranged in an orderly manner, and he could definitely afford Levi's gratitude.

"Little things." First Officer Green also shook his head, he also looked at this kind of thing very lightly. However, as a subordinate loyal to Li Wei, he also smiled a little proudly, and his mood was also a lot more relaxed.

The food was ready, and several of the sailors who acted as chefs also tapped on the long-handled wooden spoons and motioned for the surrounding group of Spanish sailors to come. Crispy brown bread and bacon baked, barley porridge with fish, and whole-washed apples were placed on the table next to them, and each person was served a small glass of warmed rum.

It was sumptuous, at least the group of sailors who had been hungry all night didn't care too much, and they gulped down their share of food, while pouring a small glass of rum, and enjoying the pleasure of breakfast.

Levi, First Officer Green, and Captain Hall were also sitting together, eating food quickly on a small table, and Captain Hall also shrugged his shoulders and joked very easily: "Our predecessors of the Spanish Empire, once more than a hundred people collapsed the empire of millions of people, and we don't need to pay attention to the water thieves now." ”

"Is it the Aztec Empire?" Levi also drank the fish and barley porridge, and the wooden spoon gently scooped it into his mouth, carefully savoring the rough taste of this craft. The barley purchased in Grey Mist City has been stewed extremely soft, and after adding small pieces of fish, a handful of salt is sprinkled into it, just like the porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat in the previous life.

However, while tasting the delicious food, he also nodded and smiled at Hall's words, and commented: "It was the Aztec Empire that fell into a class impasse between the emperor and the nobility and the sacrifices, plus the rumors of the savior, that could destroy that sad kingdom under a series of coincidental arrangements." ”
