Chapter 128. The haunting Rotten Algae Gang
Old Moulton's admonition can be said to be very solemn, even Levi couldn't help nodding slightly, fortunately, he had already made a little arrangement for this, and he also breathed a sigh of relief: "I killed some water thieves in the Ketufu River, so I also brought some weapons and equipment of water thieves as cover."

The Yuqiao River is connected to the Swamp, which Morton also understands, but he doesn't pay much attention to the Cape Town, which has been declared abandoned before his arrival, some gray eyebrows are also slightly wrinkled, looking at Levi's relaxed appearance, he nodded and comforted: "The Ketufu River water thieves don't value the Yuqiao River, maybe there are still strongholds, but you can handle a dozen water thieves." ”
"It seems like it's not just a dozen water thieves this time."
Shrugging his shoulders, Levi looked at the ale sent by the bartender next to him, and took a sip of the slightly sweet liquor, the wonderful taste went down his throat with the stimulation of his taste buds, so that he couldn't help but exhale a mouthful of fragrant wine burp, and said with a smile: "Killed more than two hundred, captured more than a hundred." ”
Old Morton's eyes widened slightly, but Levi's words were not finished, and he also added a sentence lightly: "I brought more than a hundred heads, maybe I can exchange them for a lot of small silver coins in the city hall of Gray Mist City." After a pause, Levi also smiled helplessly: "Although the money is not much, it actually adds up to a lot." ”
"You're the one who killed a detachment of water thieves from the Ketuf?"
Old Morton reached out and knocked on his temple with some distress, looking at the calm Levi in front of him, he turned his head to look around in disbelief, and after confirming that this was indeed his sea spear tavern, he shook his head and looked at Levi with a wry smile: "Did I drink too much today, I can take the previous elves seriously, but now you say that you killed three or four hundred Ketufu River thieves?" ”
There was disbelief and doubt in his eyes, and old Morton was even wondering if Levi was really joking with himself, shaking his head slowly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and continued: "Little Levi, are you really joking with me?" ”
The young man in front of him, old Morton knows it very well, especially from the most immature when he didn't know anything, he has grown into the half-qualified small businessman before, and he also sees it, but even if it develops quickly, it is impossible to kill a elven warship and more than 300 people of the Ketufu River water thieves.
This was not a common sense, so old Morton did not believe it at all, even if his heart seemed to be shaken.
"It's true, those guys were ambushed by my sailors and then surrendered."
Levi shrugged, and raised his wine glass to take a sip of Moulton's suspicious gaze helplessly, and said, "Now that group of water thieves who died in battle have also cut off their heads and put them in sacks, if it weren't too troublesome, I would even want to transport all those corpses." ”
"Little Levi, I have to say, you're really amazing right now..."
Moulton's pipe was clattering, and his eyes looked at Levi with a certain weirdness and disbelief, he still had some doubts in his heart, especially when he saw that little Levi had not changed much at all from half a month ago, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and nodded after a while: "It's amazing." ”
With artillery, Levi's secret Morton of course also knew that this powerful but extremely slow firing weapon was generally in the hands of the dwarves, and it was only used for sieges, and the heavy and inaccurate accuracy could not be very effective in field battles, and even in their impressions, even if it was a siege, a large trebuchet with a longer range was the best choice.
The inertia of the mind is always terrifying, the dwarves are too stocky and short to use bows and arrows like other races, and despite being skilled engineers and smelters, their short bodies are unable to effectively handle siege weapons such as large trebuchets.
Therefore, they will study the embarrassing, like chicken rib-like weapons of dwarven muskets and dwarven artillery, and also refer to the dwarven Humpty Dumpty, the strength of the whole body is stronger, without considering the reason for recoil, blindly increasing the power, but also sacrificing the rate of fire and range, simply trying to use the power of the instant burst to make up for a series of shortcomings such as recoil, rate of fire, and range.
It is said that the destruction of the dwarf kingdom in this world is because they are equipped with a large number of dwarven muskets and artillery, and in the process of war with other races, although the lethality is indeed very large, they are attracted by a bunch of cannon fodder troops of the enemy country, which is completely disproportionate to the value it should have.
"However, although the weapons of the dwarves are powerful, they must also be used appropriately."
Smoking the pipe in his hand, Old Moulton's expression also stretched out slightly, and a long snake-like smoke erupted between his snorts, and he also smiled and said to Li Wei with a pleased smile: "Of course, those things can deal with water thieves and careless enemies, but once you encounter a well-prepared enemy, you can completely rely on this kind of weapon that is useless in a short time after firing, so it is better to think more about how to train some elite sailors to act as guards." ”
"Of course." Levi shrugged, but he also felt helpless at Moulton's inertia.
Even in the 16th century, when the armies of the earth began to be equipped with muskets in large numbers, to the 18th century, when muskets were fully popularized, there were 200 years, and if you count the 14th century, gunpowder weapons appeared in the armies of the earth, then there was almost a buffer of 400 years.
This is the inertia of thinking, the inertia from history, and the discomfort of using gunpowder weapons with the tactics and formations of cold weapons after experiencing the era of cold weapons for thousands of years.
Now in this world, gunpowder weapons are still used as long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, trebuchets, etc., and there is no way to form their own tactics around gunpowder weapons, that is, the dwarven kingdom that was once equipped with a large number of gunpowder weapons, and more dwarven warriors equipped with heavy armor and tomahawks as the main force, especially with the collapse of this dwarven kingdom that is the only one equipped with a large number of gunpowder weapons, which eventually led to the world's distrust of muskets and artillery.
While the two were still talking about the current situation in Grey Mist City, the wooden door of the Sea Lance Tavern was quickly opened, and an Ottoman sailor ran in panting, and ran directly towards the table on Levi's side, and said in a breathless and rough voice: "Our ship has been detained!" ”
"What?"
Levi's brows furrowed, and the cup of ale in his hand was also handed to the Ottoman sailor, and he turned his head to look at the first mate Green, who was also walking quickly, and stood up with an extremely serious face and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"The Rotten Algae Gang bunch, those damn guys say we have prohibited items on our ship."
The sailor took the glass of ale and poured it down directly, as if to calm the violently beating heart in his chest, swallowed hard and spit, and then said to Levi as he continued to pant quickly: "It's Eddie's damn guy, he is now an official of the dock management, and after seeing us, he directly commanded those hooligans of the Rotten Algae Gang to crowd our dock location, if we didn't draw our knives and confront them, it is estimated that the entire ship would have been snatched by them!" ”
"Add." First mate Green also snorted coldly, walked over quickly, also holding his scimitar in his hand, nodded slightly at old Morton and saluted, and also looked at Levi and said, "That damn guy has always been very vindictive." ”
"The only son of Harold's old dog?"
Old Morton also narrowed his eyes slightly, but his face was a little relaxed, and he slowly stretched out his hand to knock on the table, and he said with a faint smile: "It seems that after Clive, the captain of the city defense team, was thrown into prison, Harold still took good care of his son." ”
His words seemed to be meaningful, but he didn't completely reveal it, but with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Levi and nodded: "Be ruthless, I can guarantee here, even if you kill that guy Eddie, maybe you will only be wanted by Gray Mist City." Smoking his pipe slightly, he couldn't help but smile: "Maybe Harold, that old dog, thank you." ”
"Count it on my account, I'll come back to settle the bill when I have a chance."
Levi didn't think much about Moulton's words, but left directly, said goodbye and walked quickly outside. The Ottoman sailors and First Officer Grimm immediately followed, after all, the Devo merchant ship was their first ship, not only symbolic, but also the only merchant ship they now had with a lot of load.
Watching Levi and them leave quickly, Old Morton also spit out a puff of smoke with some regret, squinted slightly and swept over the people in the tavern who were gradually becoming lively, and also looked away, snapped his fingers to the side, and said lightly: "Gerald, go and help." ”
"Yes Daddy."
In the shadows, Gerald's slightly thin figure also slowly walked out, and with an expressionless answer on his face, he went back to the shadows behind. However, several burly strong men also followed him, and it seemed that there was an inconspicuous side door, and after walking in one by one, they walked out in a corner alley of the Sea Lance Tavern, and each of them carried axes in their hands, as if they were planning to have a tough battle.
Gerard walked in front, followed by seven or eight burly thugs, and they were walking on a relatively remote path, and the sneaky figures could not help but retract their gaze when they saw them, as if they were quite frightened.
