Chapter 098. Senge Chamber of Commerce's Merchant Marine (4th Update)
"Tell me slowly, what's going on?"
First Officer Green's brows furrowed slightly, and he was also a little dignified when he looked at the Ottoman sailor panting heavily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He knew that these sailors of his own, if it were not for the important news, it would not be possible to deliver so urgently without physical strength.
The Ottoman sailor who came to deliver the news also calmed his breathing, and the already extremely consumed physical strength also made him bend over and support his knees with his hands, but he didn't care about resting, raised his head and said in a rough voice: "It's a merchant ship of the Senge Chamber of Commerce, which has been used for a lot of supplies, and it is said that he wants to find Captain Levi by name." ”
"Senge Chamber of Commerce?"
Levi's face was also slightly stunned, and he subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the temporary fortress, and vaguely could see the edge of the dock, where an offshore sail merchant ship was docked, just behind the Devo merchant ship.
Stretching out his hand to pull open the binoculars, Levi's magnified vision also saw the temporary fortress in more detail. It looked like the merchant ship had just arrived, the sails had not yet been fully lowered, and several sailors were throwing heavy cables onto the docks and tying them firmly to their stakes.
About ten meters closer to the pier was the low wall of the makeshift fortress covered with sand, and a dozen Ottoman sailors also stood there with scimitars, as if talking to a steward of the Senge Chamber of Commerce.
Licking his lips, Levi's brows were also furrowed, he put down the telescope in his hand, turned his head and glanced at Senior Officer Green, and asked suspiciously, "Have we contacted the Senge Chamber of Commerce before?" ”
"I'm also puzzled, we don't have much contact with the Senge Chamber of Commerce."
First Officer Green shook his head, looking at the vague figures and merchant ships at the temporary dock, and he was also puzzled by the arrival of the Senge Chamber of Commerce. But he thought about the weight of the Senge Chamber of Commerce in Gray Mist City, and nodded to Levi and said, "But no matter what, I think we should also go over and have a look." ”
"Then go over and see, they can't be here to borrow money like this group of water thieves."
Also shrugged, Levi looked at the battlefield around him that had been basically taken care of, and the corpses of the water thieves had already piled up on the river beach waiting for the next step. It is Levi's goodness that the enemy's corpse can be retracted, otherwise it is not impossible to throw it in the Yuqiao River and rush to the sea to feed the fish, and the enemy who lives and dies is not so particular.
However, Levi also touched the tip of his nose, he swept over the corpses, and the old news from a few years ago flashed in his mind. Recall that both Grey Mist and Samar have issued a bounty for the Kertuf River Bandits, and killing a Thief will reward 20 small silver coins, which are valid for a long time and have no time limit.
Of course, killing the Ketuff River Thieves to get 20 small silver coins, and being hunted down by the Ketuff River Thieves in the future, is undoubtedly a bounty that outweighs the cost, considering that the price of a fresh herring is only 50 small silver coins.
For the sake of half a bucket of fresh herring, he formed a deep grudge against the murderous Ketuf River thieves, which was really more than worth the loss. Although most of the Ketuv River thieves operate in the rivers around the Everglades, it is not unheard of in the cities of Samar and Grey Mist to assassinate some of the officials of the river patrol team.
In the past, few people dared to provoke this group of ferocious water thieves, but now they have the power to completely annihilate the river patrol team of Samar City and attack the outer harbor of Gray Mist City, and no one dares to plunder their edge, so this bounty order is more like a joke.
Of course, Levi should not be included now, they have long had irreconcilable contradictions, or conflicts of interests.
Levi didn't intend to reconcile with them, and the corpses of the hundreds of water thieves below had already made the two sides officially mortal enemies, and it was better to use waste and turn it into a small silver coin for Levi's development.
Especially looking at the Yuqiao River, which can go down the river at any time and be a convenient passage for those water thieves, Levi's brows are also slightly furrowed, and he stretched out his hand to stop the artillerymen in front of him who were pushing the bronze falcon cannon wooden wheel, and commanded in a deep voice: "Wilmot, you guys stay here." ”
"Understood." Artillery Captain Wilmot immediately nodded and followed Levi's gaze to the distant mountainous area, he certainly understood what his task was.
This hill, not far from the ruins of Cape Town, is almost the coastline and the second highest elevation outside of Cape Mountain. If Haijiao Mountain controls the surrounding sea and Haijiao Town, then this hill completely controls the estuary of the Yuqiao River, which is an extremely important key point.
As long as this hill is mastered, the attack of the water thieves in the Ketuf River will at least be much slower, especially since the construction of a fort with four bronze falcon cannons at the top of this hill will almost completely control the movement of the Yuqiao River from the hill to the coast.
When the weather is good, standing on this hill and using a telescope, you can also observe the dynamics of the Yuqiao River in the mountain, and any pirate ships that appear can also be directly noticed. And the narrow Yuqiao River is impossible for large warships to travel, so a fort is guarded here, almost like a sharp nail, firmly entrenched, which makes the group of water thieves forever fearful.
However, the construction of the fort also takes time, and the first mate Green still reminded Levi by the side: "If the fort is built here, then it will require a group of flintlock sailors to be stationed. ”
"It is good to focus on artillery positions first, and now we must first rebuild the previous roads."
Levi also nodded in agreement, after all, this hill has a gentle slope, and the area with the smallest slope can even run directly to rush up. However, Levi also had his own plans, and he also nodded: "Let our friends work honorably, as long as the original road is repaired, the construction of the fort will be faster." ”
While speaking, Levi also looked at the pirate captive who was being tied up in a string, under the supervision of the Barbary pirates, with his hands tied and his head bowed and walking forward, and also turned his head to the first mate Green: "Let's go back, the guests of the Senge Chamber of Commerce are still waiting for us." ”
After all, the Senge Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers of commerce in Gray Mist City, and its strength can be called a behemoth compared to the current Levi. After all, the current Levi still needs to develop, if he can rely on this ocean-going giant ship, it will also be of great help to the future development, not to mention that there is also a shallow relationship between Levi and this Senge Chamber of Commerce.
Touching the pocket of his windbreaker, Li Wei also subconsciously remembered the two letters that the accountant from the Senge Chamber of Commerce gave him in the outer harbor of Gray Mist City.
The recent hectic time had been so busy that the threat of the Ketuv River and the construction of a makeshift fortress had made him forget that the two letters were still tucked into the inner pocket of his trench coat. However, looking at the merchant ship of the Senge Chamber of Commerce that was still waiting in the distance, Levi also quickened his pace a little, stepping on the lush weeds and the ruins of the rugged road, and walked briskly.
