Chapter 333. A sense of crisis that hits
On Cape Mountain, Green's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the fleet that was raising its sails and sailing towards the depths of the sea, and his voice was slightly surprised: "They are retreating?" ”
The pirates in Crash Bay were extremely simple in retreating, and the dhows in Cape Town had not yet been surrounded, leaving the seventeen or eighteen pirate ships that were still alive, and they had already taken advantage of the whistling sea breeze to leave quickly, and even the pirates who fell into the water in the battlefield area did not have the slightest intention of rescuing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This is tantamount to abandoning teammates and comrades-in-arms, which is a very demoralizing thing among the regular army and ordinary merchant ships, but now, it is indeed mercilessly abandoned by those pirates in Crash Bay.
"This is a cold-blooded pirate."
Levi also put down the telescope in his hand, the battle situation had been decided, and his fleet had won the victory, but Levi's heart couldn't help but rise a little solemnly.
Even his teammates and comrades-in-arms can give up mercilessly, without considering the previous relationship and the cooperation when fighting side by side, just raise the sails and leave, which really makes Levi's heart extremely complicated, and there are only two ways to explain such behavior.
"If it weren't for the fact that they were already frightened by our artillery fire..."
Green, who used to be a senior captain, was also very aware of this kind of behavior, and said to Levi with a heavy face: "Then they are them, with full guarantees, next time, it will be more cruel revenge!" ”
"Huh." Levi chuckled, his tone mocking, but the depths of his eyes were even more solemn, because he knew that Green was right, and he could also see that the pirates of Crash Bay were methodical in their retreat, and the orderly indirect alternate support.
If you think about it, you can also know that after suffering such a big loss in Cape Town, how could this group of Shipwreck Bay pirates, who have always been cold-blooded, easily admit defeat and give up their pirate accomplices?
"Well, we can't afford to ignore these pirate friends."
Levi lowered his head and looked at the pirates who were still struggling on the sea below, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he asked lightly, "Then what do you mean?" ”
His voice was a little solemn, "These pirates don't seem to be too afraid to be taken prisoner. Levi could see that the pirates who had fallen into the water were swimming towards the shore, and a few of them even raised their hands and surrendered directly, even if they reached out and pinned their scimitars, they had no intention of resisting at all.
But it is obvious that this group of pirates who are about to become captives all have fearlessness, and the murderous reputation from Crash Bay is in the mouth of the merchants of the Roaring Sea in the north and south, but they all have a great reputation for murder!
"A bunch of scoundrels and butchers, pirates who deserve to go to the gallows."
Behind Levi and Green, the priest Zachari also watched all this, but there was no pity in his eyes, instead he drew a cross on his chest with one hand, and looked indifferently at the pirates below.
After serving God all his life, he gained God-given strength and indifference to the heathen. Turning his head to look at Levi and Green next to him, he also spoke: "These captives may be more suitable for the evil undead plane to help us build more fortifications." ”
"Of course, they'd be just as happy."
Nodding slightly, Levi agreed with Pastor Zachari's half-suggestion, half-affirmative. With a slight smile on his face, he said lightly: "Labor is the most glorious." ”
Green also smiled beside him, but still stretched out his hand to greet the herald next to him, and commanded softly: "Herald Wilmot is responsible for dealing with the pirates who fell into the water, and Gaskell is responsible for maintaining the stability of Cape Town, and by the way, tell the group of merchants that the pirates have been repelled by us." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The two heralds nodded at once, and at the same time stepped back, quickly leaving the top of the mountain, and running along the stone path on the mountainside towards their respective targets.
After the end of the war, the aftermath also needs to be prepared as soon as possible, and now in Cape Town, Levi has his own cabinet members, so these tedious tasks can also be done well by the cabinet ministers.
"However, those pirates should be careful in the future."
Pinching his brows, Levi couldn't help but let out a long breath, this group of murderous and cunning things is not comparable to the group of Ketufu River thieves.
The pirates in this world are completely organized, gangs, their own city-states, their own ports, and even their own shipyards, ordnance factories, barracks and a series of buildings and corresponding talents, which alone can be regarded as a force between the South and North Trumchi Seas.
"It's true, it's a bit of a problem." Green also nodded, he came to this world at the same time as Levi, and he had also heard about the information of this world.
As for the pirates in Crash Bay, the reason why they can be so powerful now is directly related to Levi's godfather in this world, that Moulton, in fact, the pirates in Crash Bay were just a bunch of rangers a few decades ago, and they couldn't form a climate.
And the prince of the South Trumming Sea, who commanded the fleet to the North Trumming Sea to expedition to the Gray Mist City, but was defeated, did not return, but directly waved his troops to occupy Crash Bay, forcing those pirates to become his own soldiers, in other words, he became a pirate.
Since then, Crash Bay has been no longer a simple pirate gang, nor is it a simple South Trumming Sea expeditionary fleet, almost self-reliant.
Eventually, as the South Tsunami stopped supplying the Crash Bay Expeditionary Fleet, trade in the North Tsunami gradually increased, and the crash bay between the North and South Tsunami became a well-known pirate base, making it so famous that all merchant ships passing through the sea had to pay part of their finances in order to pass safely.
"I thought there would be a period of peaceful development."
Shaking his head to dissipate the helplessness in his head, Levi exhaled a long breath and said lightly: "No matter what, the threat of Crash Bay must be taken seriously." ”
"Yes, indeed." Green also nodded, the current enemy of Cape Town is no longer the nearby Gray Mist City, but the Crash Bay pirates who are as elusive as wolves anytime and anywhere, even more than the Gray Mist City and the Ketuf River they encountered before, they have to be tired to deal with.
These pirates of Crash Bay will not only attack Cape Town, but what they are best at, they will also attack all sea routes related to Cape Town, destroying their trade routes!
In the case of the towns of this world, once the trade routes are occupied and destroyed by the enemy, then it is a defeat no less than a major military loss, and even if this continues, the entire town will decay or even be reduced to nothing.
Without trade, it is a pool of stagnant water, and if there are no trade routes, it means that the town has lost everything, which is equivalent to having no value.
The pirates of Crash Bay blocked and cut off all the trade routes, which represented the lack of naval power, unable to maintain their own routes, exposing their weaknesses little by little, and even causing the surrounding enemies to finally pounce and devour!
"By the way, Pastor Zachari, there's also unrest in the silver mines?"
Li Weigang wanted to leave here, but his brows couldn't help frowning, and when he saw the pastor next to him, he also remembered what he had said before, and asked, "How is the situation?" ”
After hesitating for a moment, Zachari bowed his head and said in relief: "Your Majesty, the silver pit is still under control, and there has been no turmoil. ”
"So, there could be unrest?"
Green frowned slightly, he obviously heard the bishop and the priest's heart, and said: "The silver pit is currently one of our important nodes, and no turmoil is allowed, if there are signs of such turmoil, I think it is best to crush it in the embryonic form." ”
"Hmm."
Li Wei nodded, although the silver pit has not yet begun to mine silver ore, nor has it continued to smelt silver ingots, its value is definitely immeasurably high, and it belongs to the key protection unit.
What's more, in the tunnel of the silver pit, there is also a portal to the undead plane, a world that can increase the energy value in batches, how could Levi give up this big fat meat, even if he gave this world to the undead skeletons, these undead who don't know anything?
"Mobilize our troops, we must preemptively occupy the castle of the dead."
Squinting his eyes slightly, Levi's expression was already solemn, and he turned his head to look at Green next to him, and he also asked in a deep voice: "Now that our main force has entered the world of the undead and attacked that castle of the undead, what are the odds?" ”
Green thought about it in his heart, but nodded and said, "If casualties are not taboo, I think we can still capture that castle at a certain price." ”
There are only a few skeleton mages in the castle of the dead, and quite a few bronze-level skeleton archers, and as for the so-called ballistae, bed crossbows, trebuchets and other large long-range weapons, they are not seen at all, so defensive battles are inherently with the disadvantage of short legs.
In this way, Levi's troops can easily blast the walls with artillery, and all they have to do is watch out for the bronze-level skeleton warriors and an unknown number of death knights.
"That's it." Green thought about it, but nodded to Levi and said, "If nothing else, I will discuss with Wilmot today and work out the preliminary plan." ”
"Good."
Levi nodded, turned his head to look at the beach, and the pirates who had been surrounded and captured also exhaled heavily: "It's really unstoppable!" ”
