?`rdm/?? At the end of the small square is the main structure of the fortress, which is supposed to be similar to the council hall or the consul's residence, and belongs to the authority of the high-ranking person.
But Levi stretched out his hand slowly, and the Barbary pirates, who were originally like wolves, also obediently spread a path, just enough for him to pass through it, and they also stepped back and bowed their heads very deferentially, even in this fierce battlefield, they seemed to be waiting for Levi's next order.
However, looking at the figure shrouded in the black hood in the distance, Levi's eyes had slowly narrowed, and he could clearly see the iron mask under the hood, with a hint of coldness and calmness.
And under the iron mask, the eyes in the two holes are burning with a flickering light that seems to burn the soul to the end, which belongs to the mysterious energy emanation.
Because this swamp baron, who is a mysterious magician himself, can familiarly use all kinds of supernatural powers, master the mysterious rules of this world, and easily summon the tornado with strong lethality, which is a powerful force for ordinary people to fear.
But Levi didn't care, and walked through the path that the Barbary pirates had given him, and looked at the swamp baron, his hands back in his pockets.
The flintlock pistol, carefully crafted by the Spanish Imperial Ordnance Bureau for the royal family, is not comparable to ordinary standard flintlock pistols in terms of accuracy and power, and at this time it has been gently rubbed between the palms of his two hands, and then slowly grasped.
The Barbary pirate behind Levi refilled the gap that had been vacated, the scimitar in his hand was clenched, and the fierce and fanatical eyes looked at the swamp baron in front of him, full of murderous intent.
This is an adversary worthy of a challenge, and even with its mysterious magical powers, it is not fearful for them. They are all flesh and blood, and as long as the scimitar in their hands cuts through, they believe that even this kind of magician who has mastered the mysterious power will fall into hell in sorrow.
Therefore, their gaze was extremely aggressive, and even the group of Ketuf River thieves who were sheltering at the foot of the marsh barons trembled with fright.
"Lord of Cape Town, Gentleman Levi?"
The swamp baron spoke slowly, and the dangerous flames in his eyes flickered even more, especially when he saw the Barbary pirates who were eager to try with scimitars in hand, and endless anger rose in his heart.
He also saw the water thieves of his own, the cowardly ones were right in front of him, trembling with fear, and he couldn't even hold the weapons in his hands, and of course he understood that it was a joke to try to fight the enemy's troops with this group of garbage.
So the Marsh Baron chose to compromise temporarily, which for him was no different from the compromise he had with the Governor of Grey Mist, except that it required a brief bow.
"Yes, I'm the lord of Cape Town, but at the moment, I seem to be a baron."
There was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was no expression of joy on Levi's face and eyes, and after answering, he quietly looked at the swamp baron on the stage, and he was also waiting.
Wilmot was his Minister of War, in charge of the operations of His Royal Highness and commanding all the troops, and with the degree of tacit understanding between them, if he knew what was going on here, Levi was sure that his shrewd War Minister would take effective measures to counteract.
They were all waiting, stalling for time, while the swamp baron's hand reached into the black robes, as if looking for something, and pulled out a small scroll.
"Coincidentally, I'm also the Baron of the Swamp appointed by the Governor of Grey Mist."
The expression under the iron mask of the swamp baron was not real at all, even the gaze flowing from his eyes was as plain as water, which was a cover for the superior, and he looked at Levi, his tone raised slightly, and said: "Not long ago, I had the same title as you. ”
Levi was silent, looking at the small scroll, and he had already remembered the appointment he had accepted in the Governor's Castle, which was indeed the scroll of the decree issued by Grey Mist City.
"This means that we are all nobles of the Great Silver Plate Island, and we are all admirable lords of real power."
The Swamp Baron's tone was still flat, but he looked at Levi's silent appearance, and he also spoke slowly, as if he was puzzled, "But why, you came to attack my territory?" ”
His words were very puzzled, as if he was a nobleman who had just woken up and found that his territory was being attacked by other nobles, he did not choose to resist, nor did he choose hostility, but just asked the other party according to the elegant demeanor between the nobles, why did you attack me?
This feeling made Levi feel a little bad, no, it was a little terrible, so he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and said, "Why attack you?" ”
The cumbersome rules between the nobles and the dirty tone hidden under the mask, Levi was quite disgusted with this kind of conversation in his heart, and turned his head slightly to look at the few dense footsteps behind the line, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, raised his voice and said, "Did I attack you, Baron of the Swamp?" ”
"Isn't this an offense?"
Estimating the time in his mind, the swamp baron looked at Levi's gradually solemn face, his hands slowly behind his back, but the palms under the leather gloves were slowly clenched.
Levi didn't look like he wanted peace talks, the swamp baron had already prepared for the worst, and even the magical power in his hand was already condensing, as long as he waved his palm, the tornado with strong destructive power before would sweep everything in this small square.
But now he could not do so, and his messenger had already left the island in the middle of the lake to make contact with the stronghold in the Ketuff River valley, and if nothing else, the messenger would soon bring back a messenger.
That is the messenger who communicates with the Governor of Gray Mist City, belongs to the liaison in the Governor's Castle of Gray Mist City, and is the person who can talk to Levi, and as long as this messenger arrives, then today's Lake Island will be completely safe, and he does not need to use his hole cards.
"No, no, no, it's not an offense."
Levi looked up, but he didn't compromise as the Marsh Baron thought, even when he saw the scroll of the decree issued by the governor of Grey Mist City, his expression was just as flat.
He would not be afraid of the so-called Governor of Grey Mist City, the current situation is the opposite, the Governor of Grey Mist City should be afraid of his power in Cape Town, if he hadn't chosen peace, then Grey Mist City would have been in war by now, and he is absolute strength.
Including the current face of this once terrifying swamp baron, with the confidence and strength that faintly suppressed him, it was the infantry behind Levi who were eager to try.
There were also the three 7-pounder guns that had been pushed aside, and the smaller muzzles were aimed directly at the end of the square not far away, and the swamp baron, who was shrouded in a black hood, had already been loaded with gunpowder and solid cannonballs, waiting to burst into a deadly roar.
"Maybe you don't understand the reason I'm here."
Looking at the swamp baron's puzzled look, Levi raised his head and smiled, staring straight into the eyes under the iron mask, and said, "I'm here to exterminate the thieves of the Ketuf River!" ”
As soon as his words fell, the whole person's body took half a step back directly, and just behind him, the three 7-pounder guns were directly pushed up, and the muzzle of the black hole was already aimed at the swamp baron at the end of the square, and the fire rope at the fire gate was already burning!
"Bang-" "Bang-" "Bang-"
Three successive bombardments appeared in an instant, and a huge explosion pierced the eardrums of everyone in this space, and the violent power was filled with the exploding fireworks and gunsmoke.
But right on the square, the route composed of three blood mist and stumps had also appeared in an instant, and with a frenzied force that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, it rushed past those water thieves, severely wounding more than a dozen water thieves in the trajectory, and also slammed into the stone wall of the fortress!
"This... This power... How... How can it be! ”
The splatters of rubble crackled at everything around him, and even the swamp baron's body was already splattered with a lot of stones, and there was horror in his eyes under the iron mask.
Because of this kind of power, even he has never seen it!
Although he knew the power of the dwarven firearms, looking at the three 7-pounder cannons that had been pushed up again, the whole person had already reacted, and even the magic power that had been condensed in his hand had dispersed, and the whole person ran towards the inside of the fortress without hesitation.
Or to escape, he didn't hesitate to escape, and he didn't have any memory of the water thieves outside, as long as he could live, even if he sacrificed these water thieves who had nothing to do with him, even if all of these water thieves were killed, what could he do?
He fled without hesitation, even to Levi's surprise, and looking at the group of Ketufu River thieves who were also stunned, frightened and frightened, he also waved forward fiercely: "Chase!" ”
Behind him, the Barbary pirates, who had already been prepared, also rushed forward quickly with scimitars, and naturally a part of them were also divided to guard the group of pirates who had lost their fighting spirit, and in the alley behind Levi, the town militia with bayonets had also strode over.
"Wilmot, take prisoners here, the town militia come with me!"
Levi strode forward, beckoning those town militiamen to follow, and at the same time glanced at the three 7-pounder cannons that had been loaded, and also took a deep breath and said, "And you, keep up!" ”
