The wind is calm, five days have passed, and there is still not much new under the cloudless sky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoHowever, the ruined town of Cape, which has become one with nature, has changed a little bit.

The construction site is in full swing on the edge of the dock near the sea, and hundreds of able-bodied sailors are doing their jobs, holding their tools, or acting as lumberjacks, construction workers, or the most basic labor, tense and fast-paced busy.

Since their first day in Cape Town, this hectic and busy life has taken up most of their time.

The chic of Grey Mist City is nothing but nostalgia, and most of the sailors, with the exception of three meals a day and night's sleep, are almost all playing their respective roles to continue to build the makeshift fortress that is now gradually taking shape, and to complete the construction of this fortress in the fastest possible time, so that they can successfully garrison Cape Town, and nail it firmly into this coastal land like nails.

If it is not expected, tomorrow the supply ships of the Ketuf River pirates will arrive at the stronghold at the mouth of the Yuqiao River, and they will be greeted not by the dozen or so water thieves who are stationed in the stronghold, but by six light Galie warships that have already explored the terrain and hidden on the surrounding beaches.

It was impossible for Levi to let go of any of the water thieves, because the conflict between the two was the most basic consciousness, and even a short peace could only represent a fiercer battle.

He needed to rebuild Cape Town into a bustling town like it once was, with a focus on fishing and agriculture, and even based on the direction of the new island, which Morton Sr. vaguely mentioned, he also intended to focus on entertainment.

But the Ketuff River thieves are a group of dirty, foul-smelling, and only known about plundering the property, garbage, and bugs, and if Levi develops Cape Town, then these flies will come and plunder endlessly, just as they did with the Ketuv River, with the help of the waterways of the Yuqiao River.

There was no doubt that Levi would never allow those damn water thieves to do that.

Therefore, Levi does not intend to have a so-called hypocritical peace with this group of water thieves, he has weapons beyond this world, a combat system and sufficient reserve soldiers, after having his own territory, why should he live cautiously like he just came to this world, hard and busy, dare not eat and drink and enjoy, and can only earn a small amount of silver coins all year round?

Of course, Levi was reluctant to go back to that time, and the desire from his mouth and his yearning for a better life were finally realized in Cape Town.

The original messy dock has been reorganized, and the sailors with pickaxes have re-laid the bluestone slabs on the original dock, and the saplings and shrubs that have grown have been cut down by axes, and then a fire burns the roots to ashes, and when the ground is leveled, the sailors with hoes will begin to dig the ground, forming a ravine half a meter deep and one meter wide.

The carbonized bark of the logs is placed in it, tied with hemp rope and enclosed along the rectangular ravine.

Trees more than four meters tall littered the ruins of Cape Town, and the sailors simply chopped them down with axes and arranged them slightly, and burned the surface with fire to make the best material for the walls.

In addition, the one-meter-wide ravine of the two-story log fence has also been thrown into bags of soil, which are neatly arranged in it, and completely fill the gap between the two-story log fence.

This is the temporary fortress built by Li Wei, although it is simple and crude, but the defense effect is still good.

The four-meter-high wall is already capable of holding out most enemies, a height that requires more specialized siege weapons to climb over or overcome.

But the one-meter-thick space is completely composed of thousands of flax bags filled with dirt, and even if the log fence on the surface is destroyed, the sandbags inside that are squeezed against each other due to their weight cannot be cleaned up in a short time.

In addition, the four-meter-high temporary wooden wall has been guarded by Spanish sailors with flintlock pistols, and the corners of the wooden wall with a general outline have been built, and the gun emplacements for the 7-pounder gun have been intensively built.

The cannon firing force was high, so the gun emplacements needed to be carefully constructed, and for the safety of the gunners, a cannon shield made of logs was added to protect against long-range fire, such as crossbowmen, which might occur in the enemy's troops.

The general size of the temporary fortress is like this, although it looks very simple, but relying on the double insurance of flintlock pistols and artillery, even if all the thieves from the Ketuf River are dispatched, it is estimated that they will have to gnaw a few teeth to eat all the temporary fortress.

After all, Levi still has the Galie warship roaming on the sea, even if the battle situation is unfavorable, or retreat or reinforcements, it is up to Levi to arrange it himself, because with his back to the sea, he is much more flexible than the group of water thieves who are blocked inland.

Standing on the walls of this temporary fortress, the top of the wall made of logs and earth under his feet was still flat, and Levi seemed to feel the heaviness of the earth as he walked on it.

Despite being a temporary fortress, this is not something that an enemy lacking siege weapons can easily break.

Perhaps because Cape has been abandoned for several years, a large amount of timber and dirt can be easily obtained, especially the straight and standard logs in the woods, which have been simply cut by sailors with bark and branches, and then burned to become the most basic building material, which is convenient and durable, and saves time and effort without additional capital investment.

If a masonry fortress is really built, it will cost a lot of money, on the contrary, the temporary fortress that Levi is building now, although it will collapse seriously if it cannot be used for three or five years, it is better to use materials and be cheap.

All Levi needs to maintain is the safety of these few months, when Cape Town gradually develops and enters a virtuous circle, everything will be normal, and even because the Yuqiao River is also connected to the Swamp and the convenience of the Ketufu River, he has a little idea!

After all, as long as Cape Town enters the regular state, it is certain that it will regain its former prosperity.

The land on the east coast, though barren, was not incapable of agriculture, and the abundance of seafood was a delicacy for the nobles' feasts, not to mention the rumored newly discovered island, which was just east of Cape Town.

It can be expected that once the discovery of the new island really becomes a fact, then the economy of Cape Town will develop rapidly, and the port trade will quickly catch up with the outer harbor of Gray Mist City, becoming the new prosperous trading port of Dayinpan Island.

After all, the main trading object of Dayinpan Island is the many ocean-going merchant ships from the South Tsunami Sea, and its own economy is mostly export-oriented. The relationship between Cape Town and the new island is not like this, because from the moment the new island was discovered, it was announced that various materials were urgently needed for production and construction, which had to be said to be an opportunity for Cape Town, which had the advantage of distance.

If Li Wei can open up the Yuqiao River as his own transportation river, and directly insert the Katufu River into the hinterland of the Ketufu River thieves with the Galie warship, and then sail into the Ketufu River, he can directly connect to the city of Sama in the central plain.

A large number of crops, livestock, and minerals will continue to flow through the Ketufu River, the Swamp, and the Yuqiao River to Haijiao Town, which is undoubtedly a perfect transportation line worthy of red eyes in Levi's eyes.

Therefore, the Ketufu River water thieves are Levi's biggest enemy at present, if it weren't for Levi's current strength is still weak, I am afraid that he would have already gone up the Yuqiao River, eliminated all the unsuspecting water thieves, and completely mastered the Swamp and the Ketufu River.

Levi, who already has nearly 400 sailors, is no longer anxious about the attack of the water thieves in the Ketufu River, at least Levi is ready, even if the gang of water thieves pours out tomorrow, maybe who wins and who loses is not certain.

After all, Levi's sailors are regular soldiers, and compared to this group of chaotic and fierce bandits, they are faintly stronger in frontal combat.

I think that the river patrol team in Samar City has been corrupted into a tool for the nobles to accumulate wealth, and they can defeat this group of water thieves on the Ketuf River. If it weren't for the infighting between the nobles, this group of Ketufu River thieves, who currently seem to be powerful, would have been completely wiped out as old Morton said.
