Chapter 022. Blocked river channels

The Outer Harbor of Grey Mist City has been built with the Ketufu River on the banks of the river, which originates in a large swamp inland, and has already been built in the construction of Samar City and the development of the inland plain of Da Yinpan Island, replacing the original rudimentary road and becoming the most necessary river transportation channel on Da Yinpan Island. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info And this is also the main factor in the formation of the Ketufu River water thieves, and the inland Marsh, which accounts for almost one-fifth of the area of the Great Silver Pan Island, and the rolling complex mountains on both sides of the river, make the nobles of Gray Mist City and Samar City helpless against this group of dirty water thieves for decades.

However, this reason was also considered when the outer harbor of Grey Mist City was built, and the city wall deep into the sea not only covered the entire outer harbor wharf, but even the mouth of the Ketufu River was already accommodated. Especially because of that group of arrogant water thieves, the city wall at the mouth of the sea is even more heavily guarded, and the garrison of the Outer Harbor City Defense Team is also in this city wall, with a wall more than six meters high and a stronger tower of arrows and watchtowers, firmly guarding the most dangerous area of the Outer Harbor of the Gray Fog City.

Especially when such a critical event occurred, most of the soldiers of the city defense team had already walked on the city wall, all of them were covered with iron-inlaid armor, and the long arrows in the quiver on their backs were also fully arranged, and the hand that subconsciously stroked the feather tail showed the deep vigilance in their hearts. Even the torsion crossbow on the arrow tower of the city wall had been slowly wound up, and the spear-like crossbow arrows were placed in the specially carved grooves, aiming directly at the outside of the city wall.

"That's a lot of money." Frowning slightly, Levi looked at the soldiers of the city defense team on the city wall in front of him, who were obviously preparing as a state of war, and couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart. The reputation of a swamp baron has made all the elite forces of the outer harbor of Grey Mist City on the city wall on guard, and it has to be said how much false name the Ketuf River thieves have left in the development of the past few decades. But what made Levi secretly marvel in his heart was that the seemingly chaotic and corrupt city defense team actually showed its muscles at a critical moment, which was enough to show that Captain Harold, who secretly controlled the outer harbor of Gray Mist City, was scheming.

The Rotten Algae Gang, which is now well-known from the outer harbor of Grey Mist, is the gray force that this Harold Captain has single-handedly supported. And when the Rotten Algae Gang rose, the original miscellaneous gangsters were either absorbed or exterminated, at least when Harold had mastered the Outer Harbor City Defense Force for so many years, there was no hooligan or outlaw who dared to stop obeying him. And those who are disobedient have already been thrown into the canal and washed into the sea.

There were also two groups of soldiers of the city defense team stationed at the city gate in front, and twenty of them were also wearing the iron armor of the city defense team, holding a spear of more than two meters in their hands, and they were coldly scanning anyone who entered and exited the city gate. In particular, those who were clearly dressed as sailors and carrying weapons were closely watched by them. Above the gate above their heads, two groups of archers from the city defense team were also on the alert, but their target was different from the archers on the surrounding walls, and they were aimed at the crowd of people who were coming in and out of the gate.

"Pay attention to your movements, those guys above look serious today."

There were also many people entering and exiting the city gate in front of him, and Levi and the sailors stayed quietly in a corner and followed the crowd in and out. But Levi looked up at the vigilant appearance of the city defense team, and didn't think that they were slacking off as usual. The river patrol team in Samar City had just experienced a fiasco, which made the already famous Ketufu River thieves seem more and more brutal, and the nobles of the inner city of Grey Mist City strictly ordered that the river patrol team in the outer harbor should do the most rigorous defense work in the near future, and there should be no slackness.

There are two walls on the Ketufu River in the outer harbor, and after Levi and his team walked out of the city gate, the mouth of the Ketufu River, which is nearly 300 meters wide, has basically been transformed into a river transportation wharf. The masonry embankment has raised both sides of the estuary, creating a level for the loading and unloading of supply vessels. And on the other side of the Ketuf River, the same built city walls, connected by bridges supported by columns deep into the riverbed, towering arrow towers with torsion crossbows or trebuchets, and shadowy archers of the city defense team, just by looking at it you can tell that the defense is quite strong.

Outside the city gate, there was a large crowd of people who came to see the excitement, and about four or five hundred people were all crowded on the bank of the embankment. But most of the people's faces were pale, and even many of the timid ones were trembling in their legs. At the mouth of the Ketuv River, in the gentler water, tattered warships were stacked and squeezed against each other, even forming a barrage under the congestion of the river mud, and in the overflowing water inside, the corpses of hundreds of soldiers of the river patrol were floating.

"What kind of terrifying magic is this to cause this kind of battle..."

His fingers clenched slightly, and Levi's face was also a little unnaturally pale. He gasped slowly, stunned as he watched the supposedly wide river in front of him jammed up with a large number of broken planks, masts, and broken warships. Those soldiers of the river patrol team who were supposed to be high-spirited were now all turned into corpses floating in the river, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth slightly, and asked in a condensed voice as if talking to himself: "Is this magic?" ”

It was just a terrifying gale, and every river patrol ship no less than Levinadvo's merchant ships had been shattered by the terrifying magical power. Only the general outline and appearance can be seen, but the fatal blow can also be seen. But that's not the end of it, as the upper reaches of the Ketuf River bring more corpses and broken ships, as well as more and more bad news for the civilians of Grey Mist.

After all, Grey Mist City is only a thriving trading city, and although it is quite economically developed and belongs to the hottest city in the North Trumming Sea, it does not represent the agricultural development of this coastal city. In particular, all the food needs for daily life depend on the city of Sama, which is located in the central plain, for supply. Previously, due to the strong position of the river patrol team on the Ketufu River, the probability of the river transport fleet being attacked by water thieves was relatively small, but now the Samar City river patrol team can be said to be completely annihilated, how can people not panic?

Not only those civilians, but to be honest, even Levi stood on the high platform, his eyes staring at the tattered and swarm warships blocking the river in the river, and the beating in his heart increased a lot. The River Patrol is truly a thing of the past today, and even if Samar City and Grey Mist City work together to rebuild it, the Ketuf River thieves will probably be able to master the river in a short time. After all, it takes a certain amount of time to build a warship, and it takes time to train qualified sailors who can fight. In this battle, the Ketuv River thieves destroyed not only the river patrol team, but also most of the elite sailors in Grey Mist City and Samar City!

"Get out of the way, get out of the way of the people in front of you quickly, don't get in the way!"

The rough scolding interrupted Levi's contemplation, and he subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, only to find that four burly men were walking quickly, and every step of the boots with iron nails could make the chain mail on the burly body shake, making a crisp sound, and there was no expression on their faces, and the expressions in their eyes were a kind of unapproachable. The guy at the head was even more burly and majestic, like an adult brown bear in the mountains and forests, and the people around him who were still watching the excitement got out of the way, leaving a lot of space for them to walk.

"Knights of the Inner City?" Levi also took two steps back, while calming the sailors who were following him. He knew these four guys, because in the inner city of Grey Mist, where the nobles and gentlemen lived, it was this group of knights recruited from among the nobles and gentlemen who were responsible for maintaining law and order and protecting them. They have undergone rigorous training since childhood, and they are top in both foot combat and horsemanship, and belong to the top and most reliable military force in Grey Mist City, and they have their own system in the aristocratic circle, which is in stark contrast and different from the city defense team with complex origins.

But Levi's gaze subconsciously swept over the chain mail on their bodies, the rings were very tightly interlocked, and the cloak behind them was also sewn with tough linen thread, and as they walked, the small iris-shaped shield hidden underneath also disappeared from time to time. These three pieces of equipment alone are already worth a lot of money, not to mention the cross longsword, which is known for its sturdiness and sharpness, and the nose guard helmet that is clipped under the armpit, which is even more enviable.

Gray Mist City has taken in a dwarven tribe of about three hundred people, this is not hidden news, although that group of dwarves are short-tempered and difficult to get along with, but there are still groups of human apprentices who have learned more clever dwarf forging techniques from dwarven blacksmiths, so although Gray Mist City is not rich in iron ore, this is also the reason why the forging technology has always been relatively high. At the very least, silver and iron from the North Trummagna Sea are popular commodities for trade, and are very eagerly sought after by the South Trummagnais.
