Chapter 14 Levi and Gallieu’s PY Transaction
That night, Fort Monterey, which had just held a celebration dinner, held another “grand” welcome party.
Although old Pedro has tried his best to arrange it, what this frontier town in Montenegro can offer is really limited. In addition, the last banquet consumed a lot of luxury goods that Montenegro does not have much. This welcome party seems Extremely shabby.
White bread is enough, but most of the ingredients for the main course are pork knuckles, lamb legs, beef ribs and other common livestock. Levi also wanted to serve some monster meat, but the nearby monsters had been wiped out long ago, and all the previous stocks were eaten at the last celebration banquet.
It’s hard to describe the amount of wine I drank. Old Gareth was originally a nouveau riche from a civilian background, and Levi was a "nerd" who devoted himself to witchcraft. Monterey Castle didn't even have a serious wine cellar.
The wine was scavenged from the orc camp and was left over from the last celebration party. Even the quantity of these bad wines was not enough, so two barrels of ale for common people were put in to make up for it.
Although Li Wei had already stuffed money in advance before the banquet started, looking at the livid faces of several military officials, he could only stand up and explain:
"Dear guests, I'm really sorry. We live in a remote and remote area. We can't get it." I can't entertain you better. Please forgive me for any inconvenience."
"Baron Levi is joking. We all belong to Green County. Life in our border counties is naturally more difficult, not to mention that Fort Monterey has just been attacked by orcs. It is understandable that the treasury is in deficit."
Unexpectedly, the representative of the Norton family took the initiative to smooth things over for Levi, and the atmosphere at the scene relaxed.
To be honest, when Levi learned that the huge convoy was actually a material sent by the Norton family in the name of supporting relatives, he was very surprised.
Since the death of Gareth Sr., the Monterey family has had nothing to show for its brilliance, and the original person is addicted to witchcraft practice and has almost no interpersonal activities.
Therefore, in the past few years, even though Levi's deceased grandmother was a branch of the Norton family and the two families were considered relatives, the Fort Monterey family had never had any interaction with the Norton family.
After this "grand" welcome party ended in a hurry, the officers from the Green County Military Headquarters dispersed, but the representative of the Norton family who had previously offered an olive branch to Levi stayed behind.
"Baron Levi, it's a pleasure to meet you. Let's get acquainted again. My name is Garrieux Norton, the fourth son of Scotty Garrieux, the contemporary Earl of Norton."
With that, Garrieux stretched out his right hand.
Garrieux has long blond hair, is well-dressed, tall, and has a handsome but not feminine face. He is a typical handsome man in the North.
"Lord Garrieux, it's an honor to meet you. Just call me Levi." Levi, who was a little confused, reacted and quickly stretched out his right hand to shake hands with the other party.
"Lord Garrieux, I really didn't expect you to come to a small place like our Montenegro Territory."
"Baron Levi, you are joking. Just because Montenegro Territory has produced outstanding people like you and your grandfather, this place cannot be called a place like this." Ordinary."
"You are ridiculous."
"No, no, no, this defense battle of Montenegro was beyond all of our expectations. No one could have imagined that you could defeat the weak and the strong under the absolute disadvantage. Jedi counterattack!
Even my father thinks that your battle is enough to be written into the textbook of the Kingdom's Military Academy."
Although Levi was trying his best to control it, the proud smile on his face still grew brighter.
Then, Galileo discussed some of the experiences of the battle with Livy.
The son of the real earl did not have the arrogant attitude that Li Wei imagined for a descendant of a great noble. On the contrary, he repeatedly praised Li Wei.
Xiaobai Li Wei, who couldn't help but feel elated by the other party's compliments, naturally boasted about some details of the battle. Walls made of water, counterweighted trebuchets, and beheadings using powerful witchcraft props were all poured out by Li Wei.
"Baron Levi, what do you mean, does the counterweight trebuchet you invented have the potential to threaten fifth-level or even sixth-level experts?"
Hearing this, Levi couldn't help but become alert. The counterweight trebuchet is a good thing. The principle is simple and very easy to copy. It will be leaked one day, but before this thing is leaked, it can definitely be sold for a good price.
After pondering for a moment, Levi made a decision.
"Hahaha, it does have this potential. Why don't I demonstrate it for you later. I wonder if this thing might have been taught to me by Earl Norton."
After hearing this, Gallie's eyes lit up, "It seems like this Baron Levi is quite good."
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Baron."
Fifteen minutes later, the two of them stood at the head of Monterey Castle, outside Monterey Castle, two hundred meters and three hundred meters away from the city head. At 400 meters and 400 meters, three circles with a radius of 10 meters and surrounded by torches were arranged.
The shooting table of the counterweight trebuchet on the city head had long been debugged by Li Wei and practiced in the war. So the auxiliary soldiers quickly completed the parameter settings.
"Launch!" Following the order from the messenger, nine ice bombs weighing more than 200 kilograms each roared and flew towards three circles 200 meters away from the city.
"The target is 300 meters away, correct the parameters!"
In just one minute, the nine counterweight trebuchets were ready to launch again, and then under the command of the orderer, another salvo was fired.
Finally, the target four hundred meters away also completed the ejection.
"Come on, Lord Garrieux, let's see the actual attack effect."
"Oh, let's go and see."
At this time, Garrieux had not yet completely gotten rid of the shock brought to him by these counterweighted trebuchets.
This counterweighted trebuchet is completely ahead of the traditional torque trebuchet. Ordinary people can also participate in driving it, and its power is indeed impressive. Two hundred kilograms of ammunition are enough to kill a Silver Moon-level martial artist, and there is still room for improvement in power.
Soon, several people came to the three targets two hundred meters away. Although Gallie was somewhat mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised when he saw that all nine ice bullets successfully fell into the predetermined area.
After that, they checked the targets at 300 meters and 400 meters. Only the two ice bombs at 400 meters fell a little outside the predetermined range. At this point, Gallieu's evaluation of the counterweight trebuchet has once again risen to a higher level.
"Baron Levi, thank you for your trust and letting me see your secret weapons."
"Hahaha, it's mainly because you made me feel like an old friend at first sight, Lord, and the reputation of the Norton family is there. Let you see these things again. It doesn't matter."
"Baron Levi, I am also very happy to meet a friend like you. I think we can find a quiet place to have a good chat."
