As the night was as deep as ink, the galleon broke through the waves and sailed in a sea dotted with stars and moonlight, and the experienced sailors were no strangers to night sailing, carefully controlling the speed of the ship and continuing along the previously recorded course.

The gentle and long east coast under the moonlight, you can faintly see Cape Mountain, and the abrupt outline is very clear to distinguish its location, which also means that Cape Town has arrived.

Slowly approaching along the waves, many sails on the mast were also retracted, and with a shout, the sailors pulled the cables on the deck in small groups, controlling a little sail to hold the power brought by the wind, and the helmsman carefully controlled the direction of the Galen sailboat, and gradually docked outside the deep-sea channel formed by the local fishing grounds.

The return of the galleon had also been spotted in the direction of the Yuqiao River, and a light galleon had left the local fishing grounds, and the long row of oars brought power, and after approaching the galleon, it brought back Levi and Green.

"Your Majesty, how could you come back late at night?"

Wilmot was in charge of the night today, and he walked over quickly with a team of sailor guards, looking at the dignified faces of Levi and Green, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "It looks like your face is very bad." ”

Go to Gray Mist City to attend the banquet, how can it be impossible to rush back in the middle of the night, according to the original plan, it will definitely be back the next morning at the earliest, Wilmot is also from the aristocratic class in the Spanish Empire, and he is still very clear about the process of this kind of banquet, especially the corpses that swept behind them, the two sailors came over, and their faces were also slightly solemn: "There are casualties?" ”

"Prepare for war, we go to war."

Green looked at Wilmot's solemn face, patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and glanced at the more than four-meter-high city wall, and felt a little settled in his heart, and said softly: "And the group of nobles in Gray Mist City." ”

Wilmot's eyes also widened slightly, this news even made his first impression not to believe it, but looking at Green's dignified appearance, his teeth were also clenched gently, but he also nodded fearlessly: "Then go to war, the Spanish Empire is never afraid of the enemy." ”

"Tell all the cabinet ministers to assemble, and immediately arrange for a sentinel to be stationed at the top of Cape Hill."

Levi, who was walking in front, also spoke slowly, his expressionless eyes swept over Moulton's corpse, and he also exhaled slightly, trying to stabilize his tone and said, "Who has studied theology?" I need him to be a pastor once. ”

"I can." Wilmot nodded slightly, although he had never seen Moulton, but seeing that this old man was so important in Levi's eyes, he also spoke: "There is a small church in the sheriff's mansion, if I can, I can pray to this old man there, may God forgive his sins and call him to heaven." ”

"That's all."

Levi nodded, this kind of formal thing is not too particular, he just wants to enjoy a certain amount of respect after the death of this old fellow, and according to Western tradition, a funeral also needs a priest.

He didn't know about the funeral in the native world, but the funeral on Earth would also be hosted by the priest and the church, although it was only simple for now, but it could also allow Morton to complete a funeral with dignity, at least for Levi, it represented peace of mind, and one of the few things he could do now.

Because before Morton's death, Levi had already admitted that this was his father, although the two parties were not related by blood, and even only knew each other for two years, he really helped Levi a lot.

The grace of dripping water reciprocates, and at least what Levi can do is to let Morton leave with dignity.

Looking at Wilmot, who had already gone to make arrangements, Levi exhaled heavily, turned his head to look at his chief minister Green, and also shook his head and asked: "We have a stalemate with Gray Mist City tonight, and it is estimated that our development plan will be completely disrupted in the future." ”

"Just keep arranging." Green nodded expressionlessly, although he didn't agree with Levi's bloody and emotional way of dealing with it tonight, he was still a little firm in his heart.

The Spanish Empire is not a weak person who moves forward in cowardice, they are still the invincible empire they once came to this world, even if they start anew, they need to recuperate, and focus on development at the beginning, it does not mean that they will always bow their heads so humbly and offer their loyalty to the local forces.

This is not in keeping with the unruly heart of the Spanish Empire, or that no Spaniard is willing to submit, and they never submit to anyone but God and the King!

"A bunch of Godless infidels, abominable unbelievers, rotten feudal aristocracy."

Green took a deep breath, looked at Levi and nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "We have nothing to fear, even if it is a war, we will be victorious with the glory of God." ”

This is what devout believers in God often say, and so does Green, but he also analyzed the current situation in a deep voice: "Thankfully, the navy of Grey Mist is still in the feudal era, and if we can resist the attack of the opposing navy, then we in Cape Town will be equivalent to winning half of this victory." ”

Originally, in order to prevent the attack of the Ketufu River bandits, Cape Town was originally a military and construction development together, after all, it has the foundation of war, and it already has the ability to turn into a full-scale war.

And the current Cape Town can barely be self-sufficient, in half a month, in order to save trouble, a large amount of bread and bacon, sausages and fruits, plus the output of local fisheries and homesteaders, can barely supply the food consumption of this month, although it is still not self-sufficient for a long time, but it also reduces the demand for Gray Mist City.

"We need a good naval battle."

Coming to the city wall, Levi looked at the faintly bright moonlight reflected in the sea outside, and subconsciously clenched his fists, looked at the cabinet ministers who walked quickly, and also said: "And victory is needed." ”

Hall, who was the Minister of the Navy, also walked over quickly, the torch in his hand was still burning, and his face also had a cloudy and uncertain look, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if you give me two more brigs, the wonderful victory you need will appear in the ocean on the east coast." ”

After a pause, Hall's tone was also very heavy, he gritted his teeth slightly, and still said to Levi: "Our current navy only has one Galen sailing ship that can be used as the main force, and the Galie warship is still slightly inferior. ”

The Galie warship has long been outdated, and in the modern perfect ship system, it can only be used as a patrol ship to combat smuggling, and even the greatest use in war is only to use it as a reconnaissance ship along the coastal waters, taking advantage of the complex reef environment and shallow waters in the coastal waters to evade the attacks of enemy ships and transmit information back.

"Our Galie warship may be able to deal with the pirates, but it can't stand up to the navy of Grey Mist."

Nodding slightly, Green, as a senior captain with a calm personality, also agreed with Hall's meaning, and at the same time spoke: "The navy of Gray Mist City belongs to an ocean-going warship, and the 7-pounder guns on the Galie warship can't cause much damage to the hull, so we need more money to build a stronger navy." ”

"If it's money, tomorrow is a new month, and we'll get the tax from Cape Town."

Chancellor of the Exchequer Saul was also quite conscientious, and before Levi could ask, he also followed Hall's words directly and said: "At present, we can get a total of 700 yuan in taxes, including local fisheries, traditional houses, small sugar cane plantations and homesteaders. ”

"700 taxes?" Frowning slightly, Levi's clenched fist slowly loosened, and he exhaled a little dullly, comforting his three cabinet ministers: "It's enough, there are other incomes." ”

The 700 yuan tax mentioned by Sol corresponds to the 700 energy value.

If he hadn't completely turned the table with Grey Mist City before, these seven hundred energy points would be enough for the further development of Cape Town, but now that the war is approaching, this huge gold-swallowing behemoth will not be able to meet this amount.

You must know that the recruitment energy value of the light galled warship is 500 points, and the recruitment energy value of the heavy galleried warship is 1000 points, and the sloop and brig warship equipped with more than a dozen guns have already recruited the energy value of 5000 points, which is almost a sky-high price for the current Levi!

"Your Majesty, perhaps you haven't noticed that the system information is automatically completed after the self-inspection, so the recruitment price of warships has been reduced, and at the same time, according to your current military development route, the system has also changed slightly."

But the voice from the female staff officer of the system had already appeared in Levi's mind, and before he could react, the female staff officer of the system continued to speak in her mind: "The unknown enemy has begun to assemble, and the system has also scanned the items in your sheriff's mansion that have some special energy, which can be absorbed by the system and improve your strength." ”

"And according to the system data upgrade, the system staff recommends that you enter the [random] option and conduct a lottery, you will get a mystery gift, and according to the dilemma you are facing now, it will also give you the most suitable choice at the moment."
