Chapter 121. Escaped pirate captivity
The two ships that had returned had gradually docked in port, the heavy cables had been re-tied to the wooden stakes of the pier, and the heavy triangular anchors had fallen on the seabed at the bottom of the pier, and with the undulation of the waves, the two heavy warships with only the front part slightly scratched and a little sawdust had been completely docked at the pier outside Cape Town.

This is a medal of valor after the victory in the first battle, and it belongs to the honor of the warship. Just as one cannot be called an elite veteran without military exploits, and one cannot be called a real warship without war marks, this is a manifestation of spirit.
The long thick planks were gradually lowered towards the shore of the wharf with the careful work of several sailors, and at the same time, the Barbary pirates, who were carrying large bags and small bags of booty, also happily took the lead and took the lead in picking up the torches that had been reserved on the dock, and gave light and guidance to their companions on board.
The twenty-odd elven captives were still tied up, and their handsome and fair faces were now covered with blood and bruises from beatings, and it was obvious that they had not been treated well under the proximity of those sailors and pirates.
The mouth was casually stuffed with a rag to wipe the deck, and these elves were slowly escorted off the ship in the cold light of the scimitar, and at the same time, the sailors with flintlock pistols also swept their movements vigilantly, and the muzzle of the black hole also made them dare not jump into the sea to escape at will.
There were already a lot of sailors stationed on the dock, and the whole dock was lit up as if it was daylight with torches, but it made the faces of the elven captives who were bent forward with their hands behind their backs even more impressive, and many of them even weakened their legs.
The ground was already full of blood red, and many scales and small stumps were still here, although the piles of Kou Tao fish-man corpses had been completely thrown out of the dock, becoming the most sumptuous supper for bloodthirsty sharks, but the blood left on this dock was still clear and fresh.
Even with the sea breeze, the strong smell of blood was a little pungent, so that these elves, who had become captives, also closed their eyes with pale faces, and they didn't dare to imagine what their fate would be next.
Of course, their fate will not be a good outcome, and as the vanquished, they must also have the consciousness of the vanquished.
Walking off the ship quickly, Levi was followed by several pirates carrying stretchers, his face was slightly heavy, and he stretched out his hand to direct them to carry the five stretchers into the temporary fortress, so that the joy after the victory was also diluted a little.
Of course, their battles will not be completely without battle damage, and those elves also have exquisite coordination and lethal weapons, just like the five pirates lying on a stretcher, that is, they were directly hit by the elven archers during the charge, and now they still have the long arrows stuck in their bodies, waiting to settle down later, and deal with them with the experience summed up on the battlefield in modern times.
Modern medicine is also different from the ignorant bloodletting therapy in the feudal era, and a more scientific system also allows these wounded soldiers on the battlefield to receive good treatment and follow-up treatment.
In particular, the wounds caused by this cold weapon have left many cases in the history of modern medicine, as long as they are treated in time and do not move indiscriminately, so as not to touch the main internal organs and blood vessels, generally speaking, after a few months, a strong soldier is much better than the poor worm that was hit by a flintlock pistol.
However, some of them were killed, and a poor Barbary pirate rushed to the front, but he did not expect to be directly hit in the heart by the long arrow of the elven archer, even if he was wearing leather armor, it did not save his life, and the final result also aroused the indignation of his comrades, so he punched and kicked those captives, and did not stop all the way.
"Alright, let us handsome elves go, their faces are worth a lot."
Clapping his hands, Levi motioned to those Barbary pirates who were still with horizontal noses and vertical eyes, not to continue to look at these elves with blue noses and swollen faces with threatening eyes, but just stretched out his hand to greet Hall and instructed him: "Continue to arrange for someone to be on duty, everyone is tired tonight, just rest well." ”
"Understood." Hall nodded, after a series of battles, this captain from the Spanish Empire has also grown up very quickly, although not as good as the professional first mate Green, but at least he can help Levi deal with some trivial matters simply.
But Levi looked up at the first mate Green who was walking quickly with a calm face, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, his first mate was not easy to show such a heavy look, so he asked: "What's the matter, is there anything else going on in the temporary fortress during the time we left?" ”
"I'm sorry, Captain Levi."
First Officer Green's opening made Levi's heart sink slightly, he exhaled slowly, bowed his head slightly and looked very heavy, and said to Levi with chagrin and apology: "Taking advantage of the gap when we transferred the main forces to the shore to defend against the Kou Tao Fishman, more than a dozen water thief captives escaped. ”
"That's it?" Levi frowned slightly, but his originally sunken heart slowly calmed down, and he looked at the appearance of the temporary fortress that was already full of torches and bonfires, and also frowned and asked, "Is there nothing wrong with our people?" ”
The water thief captives fled and fled, and a group of rabble did not have much danger at all, especially now that Li Weike was not afraid of this group of bedbugs who occupied the swamp and relied on geographical advantages to be the king and hegemon, I am afraid that they will be bombarded into slag by him and his troops.
"No, they took advantage of the chaos to climb over the wall to get out, and when we chased them out, they were gone."
First Officer Green's face was heavy, this kind of low-level mistake should not have happened, but he still had direct responsibility for it, so he bowed his head deeply and said: "I'm sorry, I'm willing to take responsibility for this matter and be punished as it deserves." ”
In this regard, Li Wei shook his head with a smile, obviously not taking this matter to heart, just patted the shoulder of the first mate Green, and said comfortingly: "Rest tonight, accompany me to Gray Mist City tomorrow, I need you in terms of trading." After a pause, he looked in the direction of the ruins of Cape Town in the distance, and also with a little disdain: "They can't make any waves." ”
Levi's strength is only getting stronger and stronger, how can it be getting weaker and weaker, even if it is the so-called mission of the elven country, Levi dares to attack blatantly, how can he care about a group of water thieves who can barely survive just because of the power struggle?
The reason why the thieves in the Ketuf River have not been exterminated until now, even the Gray Mist City and Samar City are not a secret, look at the funds that the river patrol team used to have every year to suppress the bandits, it is a lot of money spent in vain, even if at some point, it is said that the guys of friends send a lot of money to buy peace, it is also the result of heavy corruption.
And even if the river patrol team is so corrupt, when the nobles on the island of Great Silver Pan are determined to exterminate the thieves of the Ketuf River, if it were not for the deeper struggle, this group of corrupt elements would have almost sent them to a desperate situation.
"Are those elves?"
First Officer Green's heavy face also nodded, he was still quite useful for Levi's comfort, turned his head and swept over the tall figure who was being released by the pirates, looking at the obviously luxurious clothes, and frowned slightly, the rumors he had heard since coming from this world also made him blurt out: "Their prices on the black market are very high." ”
"Of course, tomorrow we have a lot more goods."
Levi also smiled, but he didn't have the slightest sympathy when he looked at the group of elves, as if he was talking about buying ordinary goods, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "But we also have to go and find out how about the market first." ”
After a pause, Levi turned his head and glanced at the seized elven items, which were placed in a corner of the temporary warehouse outside the dock, and couldn't help but nod and said, "Those elven standard swords and longbows can be sold as handicrafts, so use these things to go to Gray Mist City or Old Silver City to find out what the tone of those buyers is." ”
"Messages must be kept blocked, or this group of elves will cause trouble as well."
Frowning slightly, First Officer Green's face became heavier and heavier. As the oldest general who followed Levi to this world, his two-year career has also allowed him to get a lot of news about elves, both good and bad.
And the most critical point is that the elves are extremely handsome, usually in the human slave market, they are hot-selling products, and they are loved by many nobles and big businessmen, whether they are men or women, of course, because of the status of women in the elves, the value is also a few points higher.
It is precisely because of the high value of these elves that they can't reveal their rumors now, especially in the northern trumming sea, which is not connected to the country to which the elves belong, and the price of these lovely people is even higher.
"Old Morton is at least trustworthy, he probably knows something."
Levi also nodded, looked at the temporary camp and sailors around him who had gradually settled down, and exhaled slowly, took out the pocket watch in his arms, and looked at the time that had been shown to be late at night, so he turned his head and said to First Officer Green: "Leave at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, we will try to go early and return early." ”
"Understood." First Officer Green also nodded, this was their division of duties, and now that the temporary fortress was taken over by Hall, who was more specialized in warfare, it was indeed trustworthy.
