Hale led the Barbary pirates towards the ruins in the forest, and the sharp Arabian scimitar had been drawn from its scabbard, unlike the style of the scimitar in Grey Mist, this kind of scimitar with a larger arc and more suitable for chopping was more suitable for chopping, and in the hands of this group of skilled pirates, it was easy to pluck people's heads off their necks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This is the self-confidence they have trained since childhood, and the experience of their time when they have been plundering the Mediterranean, but it is a small range search, and it is a breeze for them.

As the murderous pirates walked through the ruins of the forest, a whirlpool of birds of all kinds suddenly rose into the sky, flapping their wings and chirping, forming a whirlpool of birds above Levi's head. And in the midst of the ruins, the roars of beasts could not stop coming, and even a few timber wolves hidden in the shadows rushed out in terror, not daring to have anything to do with the hordes of pirates, and quickly fled towards the depths of the forest in the distance.

After all, it was hundreds of strong humans armed with scimitars, and even those animals that were originally high-end predators in the forest did not dare to show their fangs and claws easily. Although the law of the forest is the law of the jungle, it also knows how to observe and lurk, if you find that the other party is not something you can hostile to, then the only choice left for this group of animals is to escape and lurk deeper. In addition, this was once a town where humans gathered, and the memory of these animals still has the impression of human hunters.

"Nothing out of the ordinary, it seems."

Frowning slightly, Levi and the others stood on the shore and watched Hale lead the Barbary pirates, quickly and meticulously inspecting the ruins close to the port, except for the occasional beast hidden in the corner, they did not find any shadow of humans at all. This shows that the ruins of Cape Town are really deserted, and it can be regarded as a better choice for Levi, turning his head slightly to the first mate Green next to him: "If we find that group of water thieves, it is estimated that our next days will be a little bad." ”

"Good luck."

In this regard, the first mate of Green also nodded, after all, no one likes to have any communication with that group of ferocious water thieves, what they need now is steady construction, at least now Cape Town will stand on its heels, if it just came here, it will be directly involved in the battle of the Ketufu River water thieves, not only directly delaying their construction work, but also dragging Levi into the war of attrition and the difficult predicament in the early stage, just like continuous bloodletting, so that all their precious time is drained.

It will take time for Cape to rebuild, and it will take time for them to attract the poor and the original residents of Cape Town, and if they want to take control of Cape Town as soon as possible, Levi will need to use his sailors and attracted residents to restore his former prosperity. At least according to the reputation of Gray Fog City, the rich aquatic product resources in the sea area outside Cape Town have a good market, even the most basic herring is said to be much better than the herring in Gray Fog City and the Silver Coast, and it was even a special fish for aristocratic banquets.

Walking forward gently, the first mate Green also followed closely behind Levi, and the port wharf of Cape Town was full of flat stone slabs inside, and it could be seen that the infrastructure of Cape Town was still quite serious at that time. According to Levi's visual inspection, about 2,000 square meters of stone slabs have been paved with smooth stone slabs, although they have not been tended for nearly ten years, and many shrubs, weeds and trees have also been squeezed out of the gaps in the stone slabs, but as long as they are simply repaired, they can be used as a good temporary camp.

In fact, the idea of Levi and First Officer Green is exactly the same, the residential area of Cape Town, which has been swallowed by nature, is no longer suitable for living, maybe it can be demolished and rebuilt in the future, but now they don't have the manpower to remove all those woods and shrubs. Therefore, this is a complete port terminal that is used as a temporary camp, not to mention that there are two ships behind it as cover, and it can be quickly evacuated to the ship in case of a situation, and the safety is also worth reassuring.

"Arrange for someone to have the artillery ready, and the observation post at the top of the mast must also ensure that there are people at all times."

Walking along the shore of the pier, Levi's frowning brow also swept in the direction of the ruins of Cape Town, the black oppressive forest was still a little depressing, and a trace of vigilance also appeared in Levi's mind. Just came to this strange place, you can't be wrong to be careful, not to mention that Levi's eyes looked in the northeast direction, and the faint estuary of a river appeared on the horizon, and he couldn't help frowning: "That's the river that connects to the swamp?" ”

"Well, that river is called the Yuqiao River by the residents of Cape Town, and it is said that sturgeons from the sea come every autumn and enter the Swamp to spawn, and the following spring there are small sturgeon that swim into the Everglades to live."

The notebook in the hand of the first mate Green quickly flipped through a few pages, nodded and agreed with Levi's statement, he pondered for a moment with a calm personality, looked at the news he heard through the mouths of the group of residents of Cape Town in the Outer Harbor District, and also raised his head and reminded Levi: "There is a rumor that I don't know if it is true, it is said that when Cape Town still existed, many hooligans and gangsters were bought by the thieves of the Ketufu River, and most of the goods looted by the Ketufu River were sold in Cape Town. ”

After a pause, First Officer Green's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and the rumors he recorded were mostly messy fragments, but according to the effective information he sorted out by himself, he still nodded and continued to remind Levi: "And I found an interesting rumor, it is said that even after Gray Mist City abandoned Cape Town, the residents who chose to stay here established the Cape Chamber of Commerce by themselves, and the trade with Gray Mist City lasted for two or three years, and finally because of the appearance of pirates from Crash Bay, Cape Town was completely destroyed." ”

"I have some, I don't understand."

Frowning slightly, Levi's pace of progress couldn't help but slow down a little, and he turned his head to look at his trusted first mate Green, but he felt a little unusual in the news. His brows furrowed tightly, Levi's mind recalled that he had heard rumors about Cape Town, but he couldn't get an effective clue, and couldn't help asking, "Do you mean that the former thieves of the Ketuf River were able to sell stolen goods through Cape Town?" ”

"Of course, it's just that with the decline of Cape Town, the group of thieves from the Ketuv River finally chose the town of Bar on the Silver Coast."

As they walked forward, First Officer Green put the small notebook in his pocket again, and before they knew it, they were gradually walking towards the mouth of the Yuqiao River. The four Spanish sailors armed with flintlock pistols behind him also acted as escorts, but the face of the first mate Green also became a little embarrassed with the distance forward, and he slowly raised his head to look at the sky above a small forest in front of him, and the curling green smoke also made him frown and said: "Maybe our luck is not very good." ”

It was the smoke of burning wood, and Levi's face had become solemn, because it showed that it was a phenomenon that only appeared when people lived. And they also walked forward quickly, around a sparse wood, at the mouth of the Yuqiao River, near their side of the riverbank, a few grass huts made of rough branches were sitting there, and before Levi could open his binoculars, he had already found seven or eight short and fat men in linen short-sleeved clothes, who seemed to be busy walking back and forth.

"Thief of the Ketuf River."

Levi took a deep breath, his eyes were already extremely solemn, and the hand in the pocket of his trench coat was already tightly gripping his flintlock pistol. Even if he didn't pull out his binoculars to look at it in detail, just looking at the way these guys walked, and their short and burly bodies, he knew that they were definitely not the physique that those poor fishermen could have.

This short and burly physique can only be possessed by the water thieves of the Ketuv River, occupying the necessary communication channel between Grey Mist City and Samar City, and can plunder Samar City and the farms around Grey Mist City at any time, so the harvest of this group of water thieves has always been quite rich. What's more, although the swamp baron is fierce and brutal, he is not stingy with his subordinates, and they are not weak in close-range combat, you must know that the river patrol team in Samar City once only relied on a large number of ballistae and bed crossbows equipped on the warship to name the warships of these water thieves from a distance, and in close-range deck battles, in fact, these water thieves have the advantage!
