The Spanish Empire came out of the feudal Middle Ages, from the glory of the Age of Discovery, to the gradual decline and mediocrity of modern times, and along the way was almost accompanied by the blood of enemies and opponents, they were really not good people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In other words, the Western countries of Europe, after a long period of war in the Middle Ages and the loneliness of wandering on the sea during the Age of Discovery, finally formed a forest system that left a deep impression in modern history.

If I don't kill you, then you will kill me, because there are so many resources in the world, and the result of our sharing with each other is the death of both.

Therefore, medieval and modern Europe was bloody and brutal, and under the hypocritical face was a bloody mouth, wantonly embezzling any land that could be touched, bringing disaster and poverty to those countries and regions that were inferior to them, in exchange for their own wealth, or rather, the support and joy of the big aristocracy, big businessmen, and big capitalist class.

Especially as a fanatical Catholic country, after they conquered the Americas, they stubbornly believed that God brought them guidance, so they had a kind of coercion on other countries, even countries that were also Catholics.

In modern history, one of the reasons why European countries wantonly excluded Catholicism and introduced Christianity was because the threat from the Spanish Empire was too great, especially after controlling the Papal States, Catholicism almost became the first major means for Spain to secretly control Europe, which even reached its peak when the Armada still existed.

They don't have that much mercy for the infidels, especially since they are still their enemies, and they have a lot of wealth in their hands, and as traditional Spaniards, their eyes have turned red.

And it was only after Levi and the Spanish sailors rushed towards the metallurgical workshop with flintlock pistols, and all of them left the woods to cover them, that the metallurgical workers of the Ketuv River thieves looked at the enemy who had burst into the attack in horror, and even before the hammers in the hands of most of them were put down, they had already found that the muzzles of the black holes were all aimed at themselves.

The name of the dwarven musket is still loud, and in front of the muzzle of this black hole, this group of metallurgical workers who are not mainly fighting can only obediently raise their hands to express their surrender.

"The silver workshop of the Ketuf River thieves?"

Li Wei walked in the front, looking at the more than fifty water thieves obediently raising their hands, all gathered together in horror, and didn't care too much about this group of guys who were obviously craftsmen, but swept over the next few water thief guards who were secretly hiding with weapons inside, and snorted coldly and asked, "Can anyone tell me, which of you is responsible for this?" ”

But before Levi's words fell, Hall, who was also holding a flintlock pistol beside him, suddenly raised the gun and raised it towards Levi's head, the muzzle of the black hole hole went directly to the back of Levi's head, and the trigger was also pulled down heavily.

"Uhh

The thick fire and gunpowder smoke were filled, and Levi, whose eardrums were slightly vibrating, couldn't care about the burning heat coming from the back of his head, frowning and turning his head to look at the pit tunnel next to him, a water thief who was still holding an axe was slowly falling down holding his chest, and his eyes were full of incredulity.

There were more than a dozen water thieves with scimitars and hand axes in the pit, but their eyes were full of shock and panic, especially the more than 30 Spanish sailors put their flintlock pistols on their shoulders, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the mine tunnels, which made them, like rats blocked at the entrance of the cave, dare not act rashly.

"I... We're just a bunch of artisans..."

But the men who were striking iron in the silver workshop all threw down the tools in their hands, and all of them carefully gathered together and did not dare to speak loudly, only an older man walked out with trembling hands, and said in horror: "We are just craftsmen from Samar City, and we have been kidnapped here by this group of water thieves..."

The other craftsmen all nodded, all of them looking innocent, especially looking at Levi's neat uniforms, which obviously regarded them as the regular army of Grey Mist.

In addition to the regular army, there are not many people wearing uniform uniforms, even the elite water thieves wear a variety of clothes and armor, in other words, only the regular army has sufficient financial support, let them change into uniform clothing, armor and weapons to ensure the discipline and uniformity of the troops.

"Kidnapped?"

Levi and Hale glanced at each other, both noticing the playfulness and distrust in their eyes. A group of kidnapped craftsmen couldn't work in the workshop so easily, and they cooperated quite well with the group of water thieves who were carrying silver ore.

"Most of them aren't water thieves, we're all forced to come."

The middle-aged man who looked to be thirty or forty years old also swallowed and spat slowly, although there were less than thirty flintlock pistols aimed at their group of craftsmen, but the muzzle of the black hole was still ruthless, even if they pulled the trigger casually, their craftsmen who were hiding together in a dense manner, at least a dozen people would go to see death.

Especially the middle-aged man waiting at the front didn't want to die, and stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed to the tunnel, most of the people were also terrified water thief miners, and their faces were bitter: "Those water thieves forcibly asked us to join them, if we don't join them, we will be killed, so we can't do anything." ”

"That's right, we're all artisans in Samar City, because those bandits kidnapped us here and forced us to join the Ketuf River bandits, or we'll die."

The group of craftsmen explained one after another, as if they did not have the slightest doubt about the identity of Levi's regular army, but many of them had a little distance from the few guys inside, and some even raised their fingers and pointed at the burly short and fat men inside and pointed out loudly: "They are the real water thieves!" ”

"Bang-"

But the flintlock pistol in Levi's hand directly raised it diagonally and pulled the trigger, looking at the craftsman who had begun to fall into a commotion, more than fifty burly strong men gathered together was indeed a kind of deterrent, so he had to fire a warning shot.

Hall also immediately understood what Levi meant, as the Minister of the Navy, his eyes were like eagles, slowly swept over the group of craftsmen in front, stepped forward with two feet, and shouted at them: "All squat, shoot your heads with both hands, don't have any thoughts of trying to resist, otherwise you will wait to be hanged!" ”

They didn't explain their identities, but for the group of craftsmen, this vague definition was even more like that of a regular army, and they all squatted on the ground obediently, with both hands on their heads and their faces full of fear.

"It's the same over there, all of them come out and squat!"

The flintlock pistol in Levi's hand, which was still filled with gunsmoke, was also pointed at the tunnel of the mine, and the pale water thief miners did not look like murderous water thieves, and shouted loudly in reprimand: "If you think you are a water thief, then let me stay there, and if you don't think you are a water thief, let me come and squat down with peace of mind!" ”

"Be quiet, come and squat!"

The more than 50 Spanish sailors with flintlock pistols on their shoulders also scolded at this group of unsympathetic water thieves, and used emotional and physical anger to cover up their small number and lack of stamina.

After all, in the silver metallurgical workshop next to the Yuqiao River, the number of people counted by Li Wei's visual measurement has almost reached hundreds, among which in the pit tunnel, even more than fifty people have come out one after another, which is the same as the number of craftsmen in charge of metallurgy, the same pale face, looking very panicked.

But in this panic, there is also a hidden expectation, many of them have a certain joy on their faces, and in the whispered conversation, they also know about the rescue from the regular army in the mouths of their companions, so that they are all surprised.

"It's really a bunch of artisans and miners."

Frowning slightly, Hall stood beside him with his hands on his chest, sweeping over the hundreds of captives, only more than twenty obviously strong guys squatted together alone, with fear and a certain wait-and-see on their faces, and even many of them were bulging in their clothes, as if they were hiding some weapons.

This group of people was about to move, although they were also squatting on the ground, and they were holding their heads in both hands, but their eyes were wandering around, as if they were connecting with each other, and even a few people in the back corner had quietly put their hands down, and took out the bulging items in their clothes, which were a wide-backed short knife commonly used by Ketuf river thieves!

"Brothers, kill these..."

Just like a few glances, these twenty or so real water thieves also had a bit of determination in their eyes, roared and gritted their teeth, pulled out the wide-backed short knife at his waist, and under the leadership of one of the water thief leaders in the lead, he raised the short knife and roared towards the Spanish sailors more than ten meters in front of him.

In their opinion, the distance of more than ten meters is almost a few steps, and as long as the distance is close, the powerful dwarven musket is not even as convenient as the burning stick, and they believe that with their ferocious nature, they can defeat this group of regular troops wearing fancy uniforms like rookies!

"Bang bang-"

But their ideas were very good, but the Spanish sailors, who had already been prepared, did not put their flintlock pistols down on their shoulders at all, and almost as the group of water thieves broke the cauldron and stood up, the trigger that was heavily pulled down had already burst out a series of bean popping sounds, as well as the dazzling and deadly flames!
