Chapter 190. Shiny brown bear fur
The sea breeze blows softly, and the lush trees of the east coast sway slightly, and the leaves rattle like the whispers of countless choir children, bringing with them the sounds of nature. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It was a scorching summer on the east coast, and as the months wore on, a wave of heat poured down on the sky, and even the sea breeze still felt a little hot, which made Levi and the residents of Cape all wear straw hats made of rattan grass, and even the slaves, who were panting and looking rather weak, had already given each of them a one.
However, the guards of these slaves were no longer Levi's sailors and Barbary pirates, but those female citizens, who specially selected more than eighty tall and strong women, dressed in captured leather armor, and carrying sharp broad-backed short knives around their waists, which were qualified guards.
Those water thieves don't have many ideas, even if this group of water thieves who are captives as slaves, there are thousands of people, but they can't eat enough every day, and they have to do intense physical labor, which has already exhausted the physical strength of this group of guys, and if they want to set off a riot about slaves, maybe these more than eighty strong ladies can be easily evaluated.
Of course, Levi was also very relieved about this, especially among these slaves, many of whom were still dedicating, had been transformed into the doglegs of those ladies, and they would report as long as there was the slightest abnormality, and the possibility of any riot was eliminated.
In the human nature of the water thieves, there is no concept of friends, they are a group of outlaws, gathered together only because after escaping back, they will be miserably hanged by the officials of Gray Mist City or Samar City, so there is a common hatred, or the benefits of robbery that unite them.
Now, when the catastrophe is coming, it is still important to live and die, at least kneel at the feet of the group of female guards, and eat two more slices of bread a day, as for the partners who fought together in the past, it really doesn't matter, who cares if they live or die?
Walking forward quickly, Levi looked at the hundreds of water thief slaves in the lumber yard, who were carrying the wood one by one to the temporary dock of the Yuqiao River, and then waited for the light Canadian warship in charge of transportation to arrive, and then carried it to the deck, nodding with satisfaction, and there was no so-called mercy on his face for this group of guys.
Since he is here, he wants to destroy Cape Town, and he is his enemy.
They are all adults, and they are responsible for their own actions, and Levi is also sure that if he is the defeated side, if he falls into the hands of this group of water thieves, he will know that the end will be extremely miserable when he thinks about it.
It was all relative, and to be able to feed the captives of the water thieves and get a few hours of sleep at night was already quite merciful to a lord, because their badly wounded and crippled companions had already been thrown into the sea by the Barbary pirates, leaving them to find their own way to survive.
Smiling lightly, looking at the work of the group of water thief slaves carrying logs with their heads down, Levi didn't go over to disturb, and still led the twenty Spanish sailors behind him along the improvised road to inspect his territory on the south side of the Yuqiao River.
In the course of half a month, five large lumberyards have been established in the forests on the south side of the Yuqiao River and the improvised road, as well as more than a dozen hunting lodges, in order to supply a large amount of timber and fresh meat.
Logs are currently the main source of income, and in the Inner Harbor shipyard in Grey Mist City, the best logs can be sold for 10 small silver coins each, which is equivalent to giving it away for nothing for Levi.
He doesn't need to pay for the hiring of personnel, the lumberjacks of his own citizens, and the water thief slaves only need to ensure three meals a day, which is undoubtedly a reduction in costs, and relying on the high-intensity work of the water thief slaves, he can cut down hundreds of qualified shipbuilding logs almost every day, and in three days, six light galleon warships need to go to Gray Mist City in time to deliver goods.
Although it did earn less, at least it also opened the market of Gray Mist City, which can also be seen how eager those nobles are for the progress of warship construction, especially after knowing the elven realm, they are ready to move.
The best elf captives, but the most popular items in the slave market, even if it is a formal trade, the art and various specialties of the elves are also the treasures that are sought after in the human kingdom, whose nobles do not have a few precious works of art belonging to the elves, and even it is said that those high-ranking nobles in the South Roaring Sea are wearing elven costumes and food that is a special product of the spirit, and pay attention to a different identity.
Li Wei, who had heard this rumor, also scoffed at this, this kind of high-ranking aristocrat may have nothing to do, and can no longer find a way to entertain, so he can only use this boring means to stimulate his enjoyment of life.
But Levi also found that in the future, he might be able to make a fortune through this new route that can connect the elven sea!
According to the information currently available, the warships of the elves belong to the mode of light battleships, and they may sail faster, but the attack mode is no different from the combat of cold weapons in the Middle Ages.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know the intelligence of the open sea, and he didn't know what the warships of the elves were, he estimated that his current flagship, Galen, would be directly full of sailors and look in the direction of the new route!
But thinking of this, Levi's eyes also subconsciously turned his head to look at the direction of the shore, the huge Galen sailing ship was still docked in the deep water, even if he looked at it here, he could feel the powerful power of the ocean-going warship.
Frowning slightly, Levi's heart was also a little impatient, according to the warships in this world, the only thing that can threaten his own galleon may be a number of ocean-going warships, risking the danger of being sunk by artillery fire, approaching, fighting with the gang, and after getting out of the range advantage of the artillery, the close-range attack deck can defeat the Galen galleon.
"Maybe you really should."
Touching his chin, a little stubble was a little prickly, and Levi's face was already a little dignified, it was not his style to sit and wait for the group of elven fleets to come to the door, and it was also necessary to take the initiative to explore the other party's intelligence and prepare for the future war.
What's more, Levi still has 500 points now, and what he hasn't used is to activate special effects, and once there is any abnormality, he can also let his warship quickly assemble to meet the enemy.
This idea is Levi to think about seriously, knowing that he knows that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, the elf race is originally destined to be the enemy, and wants to communicate with this group of arrogant guys who look down on other races at all, unless they are subdued with strong strength, otherwise there is no possibility of communication between the two sides, how can the nobles communicate with the poor?
Looking up at the straight and simple road in front of him, the location of the hill in the distance was not too far, and the area where the silver pit was located was also looming, which indicated that Levi had inspected his territory and had come to the edge.
"Roarβ"
Just as Levi and the twenty sailors behind him who were acting as guards began to be vigilant in their hearts, a violent animal roar appeared not far away, with the confidence of anger, and when you heard the sound, you knew that it was not a small animal.
"It's the voice of a bear!"
The guards behind Levi immediately moved forward, and the twenty people spread out into a semicircle to maintain Li in the middle, and the flintlock pistol in his hand was already on his shoulder, because in the woods next to the improvised road in front of him, with a violent shaking, countless birds were also startled, and the chirp instantly rose to the sky.
"Uhh
But then, a crisp sound appeared in the woods, making Levi's faces even more solemn, and before they could make any movements, three figures also appeared in the woods, jumping out of the forest quickly over the bushes, looking full of panic.
"Hurry up, hurry away, it's a brown bear!" The three figures ran out in a panic, their faces full of panic, and when they came to the improvised road and ran a few steps, they saw that the sailors in orange uniforms had already pointed their flintlock pistols at them, and their fingers were pulled on the trigger.
However, there was surprise on their faces, without the slightest fear, just pointed to the depths of the forest behind them, and shouted vigorously: "Be careful, be careful, we provoked a brown bear, that guy is big!" β
The sound of a heavy object hitting the tree sounded, and at the same time, a huge brown animal with a shoulder height of about one meter eight also rushed out, crushing the bushes under its feet with a violent appearance, looking at the more than 20 people outside, he also raised his thick neck without fear, raised his hideous hair head and let out its anger very irritably: "Roar-"
As the strongest king level of this forest, it may be at the top of the food chain, and the hunters who have not encountered humans in the past ten years have long forgotten the horrors of humans.
"The best fur products!" For the twenty Spanish sailors who had already been prepared, this huge brown bear had a fat physique, the brown fur on its coat was smooth and translucent, and it was obvious that the food it usually ate was quite abundant, and almost invariably a thought appeared in their hearts, and then the trigger was pulled in an instant.
