Chapter 080. Exploration of the Ruins in the Forest (Part 1)
Listening to the report of the first mate Green, Levi also raised his telescope again, and as he stretched to the maximum viewing angle, the whole person's vision also saw Cape Town very clearly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But the corners of Levi's eyes twitched, and he slowly moved the telescope, and the whole camera immediately shrouded the coastline of Cape Town, but looking at the lush woods and shrubs, the half-collapsed brick and wood buildings, and he sighed slowly: "It really looks like ruins." ”
"Let's get to the shore first."
First Officer Green also slowly put down the telescope in his hand, and the Cape Town on the coastline in front of him that had been occupied by nature could indeed be called a ruin. The reconstruction work is quite difficult just by looking at it, not to mention the buildings in a ruined state, which are estimated to be all destroyed and rebuilt, which is much more difficult than building a new town on vacant land. After all, these buildings have not been maintained for nearly ten years, and they have all decayed, and even if they still look like they are still roughly outlined, I am afraid that they will be considered dilapidated when rebuilt.
No one wants the room where they still rely to sleep in the rain suddenly collapses after a violent storm, and if they are lucky, they will lose a place to shelter from the rain, and if they are unlucky enough to be smashed underneath the masonry and wood used to build the house, it is in danger of their lives. Li Wei would not allow this kind of thing to happen, so he also frowned and put down the telescope in his hand, and nodded a little worriedly: "Come to the shore, it is estimated that the amount of work we will do next is really not small." ”
"At the very least, we need to clear a clearing to use as a makeshift camp."
The two warships slowly approached the shore, the sails of the Devo merchant ship had been lowered, and the whole ship moved slowly with the power of the waves. Originally, the general outline of the wharf in Haijiao Town could still be vaguely seen, and the stone wharf shore was still complete, but the original supporting wooden piles had been corroded by the seawater, and only a piece of rotten wood remained.
"Be careful." Looking at the layer of debris around the hull, Levi couldn't help but remind the group of sailors around him. After all, although the Devo merchant ship is strong, there will still be a backflow of seawater in the event of a violent collision, although he is also quite relieved of this group of superb sailors, but the current cabin is full of cargo, and the waterline is pressed to the limit, in case of some accidents, it will be a big trouble.
Fortunately, everything was fine, the thick wooden planks used as ladders on the side of the ship were gently lowered, and several sailors who seemed to be clever also turned off the side of the ship, jumped onto the shore with thick cables, and soon found the stone pillar buried in the dock, firmly tied the thick cable connecting the inner side of the ship, and docked the Devo merchant ship safely on the dock with the anchor that was lowered, but because of the loss of the wooden dock that stretched out like a jagged tooth, it was not convenient to load and unload the cargo.
The heavy Garret warship next to it was also docked behind the Devo merchant ship, and the Spanish sailors also stood on the deck with their flintlock pistols, all looking curiously at the shore not far away. Many birds have already flown and landed in the woods of Cape Town, and the occasional wolf howl has provoked a group of birds to flutter their wings and hover in the sky, and even seagulls that are not afraid of people quack, fluttering around the masts of the two warships.
This group of skuas in the North Trumming Sea is not a good stubble, and they are obviously staring at those small black eyes, and they are looking at the deck to see if there is any food that can be eaten in their mouths. But apparently they also quacked and flew back and forth in disappointment, and many of the wooden barrels that had been carried to the deck by the sailors were all firmly sealed, not to mention their weak strength, even the able-bodied sailors had to use a crowbar to open these sealed barrels.
"Alright, boys, don't rush to move all our belongings!"
First Officer Green had already walked down the stairs quickly, standing on the hard stone pier and frowning at the messy woods in front of him, and expressing regret for Cape Town, which had become one with nature. Turning his head to see Captain Hall on the heavy Garry warship also walking towards this side, First Officer Green stretched out his hand to say hello, and shouted at the same time: "Now we need to organize a search team, Captain Hall, I need you to lead the way to check the general situation of Cape Town." ”
Captain Hall was originally a commander who graduated from the Spanish Military Academy, and he was also named Heroic Hall for his combat bravery, and compared to Green, who was good at management, he was in charge of military operations. Captain Hall did not shirk either, they were both experienced old captains, and their respective areas of focus were different, although he did not have much advice to refer to in daily life and business, but when it came to war, he was undoubtedly professional.
This point is equally clear to Levi, if the current sailors are regarded as a force, then the first mate Green is like an instructor, responsible for the sailors' thoughts and daily needs, and Captain Hall is the company commander, responsible for the tactical training and military operations of the troops. This is a reasonable arrangement with a clear division of labor, and under the premise that Li Wei is the supreme commander, there is no relationship between who and whom, and who is needed will be responsible, which undoubtedly reflects the ultra-high efficiency and perfect professionalism.
As the largest number of Barbary pirates now, they had quickly disembarked under Levi's orders, and all of them had already clenched their scimitars at their waists, vigilantly sweeping the ruins of the lush woods around them. They also heard the howl of wolves on the ship, although so many of them were not afraid of wolves, but it was always good to be careful, and they lost their lives because of such a trivial matter before they met the enemy, and even death was humiliating in the eyes of them who admired honor.
Seeing that the Barbary pirates had assembled, Levi also had the intention of exploring Cape Town, frowned slightly and swept across the lush woods, looked up at the somewhat gloomy ruins of Cape Town, and couldn't help but ask the first mate Green next to him: "I remember when I came, many residents of Cape Town said that since Gray Mist City abandoned this place and the regular army and most of the residents withdrew, the water thieves of the Ketufu River quickly occupied this place?" ”
"Well, that's true."
First Officer Green also nodded, and also watched Captain Hall lead the group of Barbary pirates towards the ruins of Cape Town, and his brows couldn't help but furrow slightly. He took out the small notebook in his pocket and turned to the last page, which was also messily written with pencils with a lot of information, and First Officer Green pondered for a moment and said: "According to the inhabitants, this place was indeed occupied by the water thieves of the Ketuf River, but now it looks really desolate, could it be that the water thieves have all been withdrawn?" ”
"It's always good to be careful." Levi's brows furrowed slightly, looking at the Barbary pirates who had already penetrated into Cape Town and started searching, scattered in small groups, Levi couldn't help but lick the corners of his mouth. He didn't think it was a good thing to be involved with that group of water thieves, especially the Ketufu River water thieves who were famous for their ferocity, and the rebellious viscount hiding in the shadows, but he was a little worried, after all, now that he had his own territory, he didn't want this Cape Town to end up as a wedding dress for others.
"Who's going to have the last laugh in the end, though?"
Looking at the safe and sound exploration in the distance, a wave of frightened birds also rose, and Levi's face relaxed a little. In the corner of his mind's mysterious interface, the artillery card that could summon four 12-pounder falcons was still hovering, as if waiting for their moment to appear. Although the falcon cannon is already a backward artillery on earth in modern times, in this feudal era when even gunpowder technology has just entered the initial stage, it belongs to the large-caliber 12-pounder artillery, compared with the 7-pounder cannon on the ship, it is already the difference between heaven and earth.
