Chapter 023. Water thieves of the Ketuv River

The inner city of Grey Mist City is located in the core area, and is built around the Governor's Castle on the Great Silver Pan Island. The www.biquge.info people who were able to live in the inner city were mostly local nobles or merchants with their own large fleets. And these knights in expensive armor are themselves residents of the inner city, and most of their family backgrounds are nobles, no matter how poor they are, they are also decent gentlemen. After all, their circle is independent of Grey Mist City, and there is little intersection with ordinary civilians.

Levi is just an ordinary little captain, and his identity is very different from this group of knights in the inner city. He didn't have the arrogance to stand still, and led the people to slowly take a few steps back, just to give way to the four heavily armored knights. But just as the two sides passed by, the burly knight at the head turned his head slightly, glanced at Li Wei expressionlessly, and there was no meaning in his eyes, just stared at him, and then turned his head and walked towards the bank of the embankment.

Taking a half step back slightly, Levi looked at the back of the burly body leaving, and his eyes flickered, he could see that the knight in charge was indeed looking at him, and even had a look of recognition. However, because of this, Levi couldn't help but frown slowly, as a fairly common small merchant in the outer harbor of Grey Mist City, he didn't think that he had any relationship or grudge to connect with the knights in the inner city.

"Something isn't right." While Levi was still thinking about that in his head, a sailor beside him gently hit him on the back with his shoulder, and at the same time reached out to hold the hilt of his sword, and his voice was also solemn: "The people around us are a little quiet, and there are too many unfamiliar faces. As he spoke, the other sailors moved slowly, and at the same time held their hands on the hilt of the sword at his waist, consciously or unconsciously.

"What?"

Levi woke up suddenly, but his face was still the same, but his eyes slowly rolled in his eyes, and he looked at the embankment bank around his high platform with his spare eyes, but his hands in his trench coat did not go down slightly, and he tightly grasped the flintlock pistol connected to the two pockets. The fingers gently opened the buttons, and Levi's nose also gently snorted softly, and at the same time, he said lightly to the sailors behind him: "The target doesn't seem to be us, so pay attention." ”

Around the stage at their feet, a group of people were slowly gathering, as if they were watching the excitement before. But even so, they were wearing shabby clothes like the common costumes in the outer harbor of Gray Mist City, but as Levi who had been in the outer harbor of Gray Mist City for two or three years, how could they not see that there was a small piece of thing hidden under the shabby clothes that was obviously protruding, that is, a hidden weapon!

The surrounding people, who were originally residents of the outer harbor of Gray Fog City, were fighting and beating and grabbing land by gangs all year round, which also made their eyesight quite good. However, they didn't seem to want to open their mouths to warn, even if the surrounding walls and gates were full of soldiers and archers of the city guards, they all stepped up their steps and walked quickly towards the city gate. However, their unusual behavior also attracted the attention of the surrounding city defense teams, and the archers on the city wall picked up their war bows one after another, looking at the dozens of people on the embankment outside who seemed to be unaware, but they did not directly draw their bows and shoot arrows.

Because those guys who seemed to be no different from the residents of the outer harbor of Gray Mist City did not have any surprise to Ben, and approached the shore as if they were strange, and they were not too far away from each other. But Levi, who was closer to them, had already discovered that although the group of people had dispersed, the ultimate target was faintly approaching the four knights on the bank of the embankment, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

But the four knights, as if they had not noticed, stood with their backs to each other, looking at the blocked river outside the embankment, as if they were talking about something. The aristocratic life from the inner city disconnected them from the outer city, and they didn't care about the commoners who grew up in this chaotic port. They seemed to be quite careless, but behind them, nearly forty people in ragged clothes had gathered, and Levi had even seen that the original bulging place in their clothes had revealed the shining blade of the sword.

"Kill them!"

I don't know who in the crowd opened their mouths and shouted, almost all of the people who gathered towards the four knights had completely lifted the ragged clothes on their bodies, the black tendons and flesh were not as thin as they looked, and the scimitars that were raised high and flashed with cold light had also slashed towards the backs of the four knights, their distance was less than three meters, according to the usual experience, this was an absolutely exquisite and well-prepared sneak attack.

Even Levi and the others quickly retreated to the rear, and gathered together as much as possible not to lean close to the forty or fifty guys who were obviously enemies. Because at the moment when they drew their scimitars, on the city wall more than fifty meters away, the archers of the city defense team, who were already quite vigilant, had already drawn the war bows in their hands, and before they could take a few steps back, the sound of "whoosh" had already sounded in their ears, and one by one feathered arrows had appeared mercilessly in the air, and the sharp arrows tore through the air, instantly shooting the two or three enemies in the back row into hedgehogs!

And the city guard soldiers holding spears at the city gate had also rushed out, and twenty people were lined up with each other to lay down the spears in their hands, and just took a few steps in the direction of the four knights, but there was also a shout of killing behind them. Inside the gate, more than forty of the same enemy, dressed like the inhabitants of the Outer Harbor, raised their scimitars and rushed towards the gate with a roar, apparently trying to take the gate in the shortest possible time.

But Levi's face was extremely ugly, and he could see the soldiers of the city defense scattered on the city wall around him rapidly reinforcing this side, and now the banks of the embankment at the mouth of the Ketuf River looked like they were full of enemies who had suddenly appeared. What's more, the clothes of Levi and the nine sailors are also common sailors' clothes, and even the scimitars in their hands are almost the same, the situation is already so chaotic, the archers of the city defense team on the city wall will not care whether they are the inhabitants of their own city or not, because their task is to defend the city wall of the Outer Harbor, the most important estuary of the Ketuf River!

"Damn, we can't stay here, retreat, find a corner, we can't be a target here."

With a blue face, he stretched out his hand to beckon the sailors behind him to step back, covering each other and looking at the enemies who were still frantically rushing towards the banks of the embankment and the city wall, Levi couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse, this was obviously a premeditated attack, because in his eyes, the arms and chests of the enemies who had been **** on the upper body had already been tattooed with some kind of terrifying pattern, and as long as they were resident in Gray Mist City and Samar City, they would know that they were the water thieves of the Naktuv River!

Only the thieves of the Ketuf River would have such a mysterious and terrifying tattoo on their bodies, and the pattern of this tattoo on the Ketuf River is also the banner of the brutal water thieves, bringing not only the crazy looting and massacre, but also the looted villages on both sides of the river, and the bloody corpses of the merchant ships. And just today, this group of crazy Ketufu River thieves actually took advantage of the gap in the defense of Gray Mist City to launch a sudden attack!

"Boom—"

A huge roar appeared in an instant, and some kind of terrifying power seemed to come from nothingness, just as Levi turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came, the bridge that originally led to the inner river at the mouth of the Ketufu River collapsed instantly, and at the same time, huge flames and gray smoke were rising, accompanied by huge stones and broken wood, and they turned into a pile of ruins in the bright flames, smashing heavily into the water, raising a huge wave several meters high.

But before the diffuse flames and white smoke dissipated, black shadows appeared in the blur, and at the same time, a piercing scream continued, just when everyone was puzzled, round white stone bullets had torn through the strange white mist, with the sound of tearing the air, and smashed heavily on the city wall that had fallen into chaos, and at this time, the black shadows appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and they were all warships flying the flag of the Ketufu River bandits!
