The sea breeze was howling, and the ruins of Cape Town were already full of people, and the Barbary pirates armed with Arab scimitars were standing solemnly, their eyes coldly sweeping over the captives in front of them, who were bending over and holding tools, looking weak.

The water thief captive, who had been hungry for two whole days, now almost lost the strength to walk, and all of them had pleading and pain on their faces, but the tools in their hands still did not dare to stop and rest for half a moment, and the pickaxe and shovel cooperated with each other to completely eradicate and destroy the bushes and woods on the ruins of the cape town.

Although the construction of the sheriff's residence was done systematically, the ruins of Cape Town also needed to be leveled, especially since most of the dilapidated buildings that had not been repaired by residents for nearly a decade had become dangerous.

It is a key plan for Levi and them to let this group of water thief captives who tried to defect before loosen their muscles and bones, and use high-intensity physical labor and their stomachs that have no strength because of hunger to control this group of unruly water thieves who have not yet fully substituted themselves into the status of labor slaves.

More than 300 captives of the pirates were already leveling the ruins, and it was reassuring that the Barbary pirates, who were proficient in swordsmanship, would have other arrangements for them.

Now because Levi's flagship Devo merchant ship has been systematically transformed into the most famous galleon in Spain, this huge merchant ship belonging to the heavy sail warship not only brought an increase in firepower and volume, but the 175 sailors also directly contributed a huge amount of human resources to Levi.

Now he had 114 sailors on six light galleons, 154 on two heavy galleons, 120 Barbary pirates, 24 bronze falcons, and 175 on the galleon, all of whom were 587 sailors.

And add Levy, First Officer Green, Captain Hall, and Artillery Captain Wilmot!

There were 591 men, nearly 600 of whom lived in the makeshift fortress, except for the two hundred sailors scattered on the galleons of Galen, the hill batteries and the walls of the fortress, and the Barbary pirates who watched over the prisoners of the sailors, and the other 300 sailors, who were also busy with their tools.

The hill fort is the key to guarding the Yuqiao River, even if there are more Galen sailing ships now, they can't give up easily, otherwise swarms of water thieves will appear in the middle of the lower reaches of the Yuqiao River, and they won't enter the North Trumming Sea at all, then the Galen galleon's 56 24-pounder short-barreled heavy guns, even if the longest range can reach a thousand meters, there is not much threat after losing the target.

So more than a hundred sailors had already picked up pickaxes and shovels and began to re-pave the road along the site of the road that had been ten years old, removing weeds and the branches and roots of the shrubs and trees, and the sailors began to dig ditches on both sides of the road.

This is the drainage canal on both sides of the road, and at the same time, the excavated soil is covered on the roadbed that has been leveled in the middle, and then after hundreds of people step back and forth, it does not take long to begin to be firmly fixed, and after the people walk more and the soil is hardened, this simple road is also completely completed.

Although there is an option to build an improvised road in the system, it would be a violent thing to abuse Levi's precious energy for the sake of the current distance of only about a kilometer.

Kit, the leader of the water thieves who escaped, contributed 4 ancient magic gold coins to him, but this time the transformation was not as much as the 2000 energy points that the 5 gold coins brought him, but unexpectedly less.

The energy value brought to him by 4 ancient magic gold coins is only 1000 points, which is equivalent to 250 points a gold coin, but Levi thinks that it is obviously worn, and it looks like it is a long time, and he can't help but make Levi a little stupid, this kind of magic gold coin will depreciate, which really makes him a little helpless.

Maybe it's because of the time that the residual magical energy in it has gradually dissipated, but apart from this reason, Levi doesn't know what the reason is that causes the difference in the value of this transformation.

However, with only 1,000 points of energy, Levi is ready to build a second system building, which is actually the first building he chose to build at his own expense, which is the little-known fishing port in the game.

The role of the fishing port in the game is to increase the population, but if you think about it carefully, you can also know that it is precisely because of the abundant fishery resources that the population growth rate can be born.

Although Levi does not have a so-called population, it may not be possible after the construction of the sheriff's mansion, and Cape Town originally used rich seafood as the main trade, which is also a big income for Levi in this world.

After all, Levi needs the energy to transform magic items, and this is even more needed for silver coins, which belong to the currency in circulation.

These shiny big silver coins and small silver coins are the concept that represents money in this world, if you want to buy any living materials or building materials, I am afraid that this kind of silver coin is the most useful, and magic gold coins, which are strategic valuables in Levi's opinion, are better kept properly.

At the hill fort, more than 100 sailors were also holding pickaxes and shovels, and began to carry out civil engineering work on the originally gently sloping hill as if it were cutting.

This is a nail planted by Li Wei at the mouth of the Yuqiao River, as long as this location is not lost, then the entire Yuqiao River estuary and both sides of the offshore shore must be monitored by Li Wei, even if there are water thieves organizing an attack in the inland mountains, it is impossible to go down the river and quickly reach the area of Haijiao Town by warship.

Therefore, the group of thieves had to stop their boats in the lower reaches of the Yuqiao River and walk through a gentle area and woods before finally reaching the town of Cape controlled by Levi.

If this is really the case, I am afraid that by then the defenders on the hill fort have already been aware of it, and the detailed information has been reported to the defenders of the temporary fortress along the repaired road, whether it is organizing troops to meet the enemy, or relying on the city wall to hold on, basically it is completely up to their own will, and they have the initiative on the battlefield in their hands at all.

After grasping the initiative on the battlefield, even the most stupid commanders can inflict heavy losses on the enemy, not to mention the modern troops, as well as Captain Hall who has been professionally trained in tactics!

Therefore, the sailors who were busy with civil engineering work, and quickly built roads and hill forts, also worked harder, and their enthusiasm for work was not at all of the same nature as those who had been starving for two days.

Even when the kilometer-long road was almost completed, and the Spanish sailors who were walking side by side began to harden the road with their boots, the ruins of the entire Cape Town had only been leveled by a third.

This can already be regarded as passive sabotage, even those Barbary pirates who are glaring angrily, from time to time they raise the hilt of their knives and whip a few swaying and lazy water thieves, urging them to work faster, and the final progress of the project is as slow as a turtle crawling.

Walking on the flat ground, Levi can also feel the hardness and smoothness of the cowhide boots under his feet, and the six-meter-wide road also fully considers the dislocation space of the means of transportation, and there is a shallow drainage channel on each side that extends into the beach, which can also keep the road in its original appearance in the heavy rain, at least not to be soft and collapse after being soaked in the rain.

"I have to say that our sailors are very conscientious and responsible."

Turning his head to look at the Spanish sailors who were still marching back and forth on the road side by side, stepping on the dirt with their feet, Levi couldn't help nodding secretly, sweeping the outline of the hill fortress not far away that was gradually cut with shovels and pickaxes, and his face was also a little satisfied: "It seems that it will be basically completed in two days." ”

"If we speed up the process, the hill fort will be completed today."

First mate Green followed Levy, his eyes also looking at the hill that had begun to steepen in the distance, where hundreds of Spanish sailors were still in full swing, digging the gentle slope of the hill directly, and even digging the places that could not be dug directly with a pickaxe.

In short, in the area near the inland area of the hill, a cliff more than six meters high has been created, and a large amount of earth and gravel excavated has been loaded into rattan baskets by sailors, and transported to this simple road as a paved roadbed, and the entire hill with a height of more than ten meters has only left a zigzag up and down ramp in the direction of the back near the Yuqiao River.

Levi nodded, the most important thing about the hill battery was its long-range fire support, as long as you stuck to the ramp up and down, the four bronze falcon cannons on it could bring death and damage to the roaring cannonballs in the enemy's line.

As for the Yuqiao River at close range, after the four guns are adjusted to the angle, a single salvo of scattered shells can blast the entire top of the ship into a sieve, I am afraid that when the time comes, let alone continue to fight, the enemy hiding in the planks is estimated to enjoy the taste of the steel rainstorm, what kind of excitement is it!

"Give the captives some water, tell them to speed up, and there will be bread for them tonight."

However, Levi still squinted slightly, he looked at the pirate captives who were weak and slowly dealing with the pirate captives in the ruins of Cape Town, and let out a cold snort in his nose, and turned his head to Chief Officer Green and said, "Don't let our group of friends eat enough, otherwise they will do something irrational." ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured." First mate Green also nodded, and swept over the group of slumped thief captives with an expressionless face, seeing that the progress of the project was not yet completed by one-third, and the transformation had been completed, he also shook his head slightly, receiving the memory of the Spaniards for captives and slaves, and he also had a unique way of spurring this kind of captives.
