"What? You said you were ambushed when you went there? The entire dock was burned down, you didn't get anything, and more than eighty people died?"
William looked at the knight captain who came back to report and didn't believe it was true.
It was just a slum with only over 200 people, including many old, young, women and children. As a result, my army passed by without even seeing anyone, and more than 80 people died, and nothing was harvested?
"Brother, I told you that they have a ghost ship in their hands and it is not that easy to deal with." Little William said with some gloating.
He didn't get any benefits this time. William did get the formula, but he lost more than 80 warriors and even lost their weapons.
"This is the feather arrow they use, it is definitely standard."
The knight captain took out a few feather arrows and gave them to William, which they later found at the entrance of the pier where the battle took place.
It's obvious that these feather arrows are not the kind made by civilians.
William looked at the feather arrow in his hand and frowned: "Didn't you say that those poor people have been living at that dock for seven or eight years? Where did they come from?"
"My brother, do you remember the young foreigner who came to your castle that day? I heard that there were several foreigners like him in his bar. I'm afraid these feather arrows belong to them."
When Little William said this, Big William also remembered that it was Alaric who had been talking to him that day, and there was indeed a young man with black hair next to him.
At that time, the young man said nothing, but in his eyes and body, I did not feel a trace of fear or respect. I just felt that he seemed to be very curious about what I had here.
At that time, I just thought that the other party was someone who had never seen the world, but now that I think about it, that is definitely not the case.
Moreover, the people at the dock have been hiding there for more than seven or eight years and are now making wine. Maybe it has something to do with this young man with black hair.
The only fault was that I didn't take him seriously at that time, and only regarded him as an ordinary person who followed Alaric.
"Go find them for me!" After suffering such a big loss, Big William couldn't let go and directly ordered: "No matter where they are hiding, find them for me!"
Little William secretly laughed in his heart. It seemed that his brother still didn't believe in the ghost ship.
At sea, who can be the opponent of the ghost ship?
Now he thought about it, the other party must have hidden on a nearby island.
My brother is really stupid. Since those people handed over the formula, why can't they win over each other?
But those dogs are not smart people. If the formula is given to me, I will not do such a thing.
It's just that now that Big William wants to find the other party, he also has to find the other party. For no other reason than that these people now have a grudge against Big William.
Since the other party had such sophisticated bows and arrows and was forced into this state by William, he did not believe that the other party had no temper at all.
If they are willing to cooperate with him and deal with William together, it is not impossible.
His ultimate goal was to replace William the Great, and the wine-making formula was just a means to achieve his goal. Not to mention that the William brothers have their own thoughts and ideas, Tang Ping and the others arrived at the small island northwest of the pier that Alaric mentioned last night. It is not too far from the mainland, and they can even faintly see the opposite side in the morning when the weather is good. Continental coastline.
There was an archipelago here, and Alaric took them to choose the largest island.
Tang Ping estimated that it should be about 1,500 meters long and about 800 meters wide.
The island has beautiful beaches, caves and lush vegetation.
Just because there is no dock, Alaric's sailboat and Tang Ping's cruise ship cannot dock directly. Everyone can only reach the island through those small fishing boats.
There is an open space suitable for building houses not far from the beach, but no one knows how long they will live here, and building houses does not happen overnight, so they can only cut down some trees and build some shacks to live temporarily.
Fortunately, Tang Ping and the others captured a lot of weapons this time.
In the impression of European wars, the weapons that most people think of are swords, followed by axes or hammers. But in fact, swords are a very expensive weapon no matter where they are. At least in terms of polishing, swords are more expensive than swords. Knives are more labor-intensive, and what makes a knife easier to use than a sword is that it only requires one side to be sharpened.
These European knives don't look very beautiful, and their quality is far inferior to the weapons made of fine steel that Lao Cui and the others are using now.
But it is enough for the residents to use to cut down trees and so on.
But Alaric said to Tang Ping with some worry: "Winter is coming soon. If there are no houses, we need more clothing and other items to keep out the cold."
The climate here is not too cold in winter. The average temperature is almost 16/7 degrees during the day and about 10 degrees at night, and it won't snow.
But the wind is very strong. Once the temperature drops at night, the wind will still make people feel very cold. Especially on this island, the cold and wet wind is like the magic attack in the winter in southern China.
Tang Ping also knew this and looked in the direction of the mainland and said, "So we still have to go back and buy something."
Fortunately, although everyone escaped without bringing anything else, they still had a lot of silver coins.
In addition to the 600 silver coins from selling wine on the first day, the back door also sold more than 300 silver coins on the day we went to the city lord's castle. In addition to the more than 100 before, everyone's total sum was considered to be a huge sum of 1,000 silver coins. .
"Then we can only continue heading north." Alaric said: "Our original dock is actually at the junction of Watt City and Porto in the north. We can reach Porto by continuing to sail north for a while. Brother William will not think of it for the time being. We will go there to buy things. And it is not within their sphere of influence, so it will be relatively safe."
"Okay!" Tang Ping said: "Without further delay, let's set out now and hide the small fishing boat. We will be in this position temporarily and it will be difficult to find as long as no one comes to the island."
"And there is no dock here. If William sends people to land in small boats, the people we have left are enough to defend."
When going to Porto, you only need to take Lao Cui, Lao Du and Xue Rengui, leaving the other guards and Li Siwen behind.
After letting Li Siwen and Locke arrange for everyone to pack up and build this temporary home, Tang Ping and Alaric headed for Porto again.
Settling down here first, and then thinking about revenge against the William brothers, Tang Ping had a broad mind, so naturally he would not let them go like this.
