After Chen Hai came out of the customs, the momentum of the whole person became more and more warm as jade, and he did not have the feeling of being too aggressive before, but it also looked more Yuanting Yuezhi, indicating that his cultivation was one step closer to the consummation of the Dao Dan Realm.

However, growing up with him, there is also the rejuvenated Black Wind Island and the entire Black Wind Army.

In the past nine months, Shatianhe has requisitioned prisoners of war and Minyong to rebuild the city, wharf, workshop, shipyard, dredging river, and building a large number of barracks and houses on the site of the old camp.

In the renovated hall of the Black Wind Island, behind the long case in the center of the main hall, Sha Tianhe, Yang Yin, Zhu Mingwei, Wei Han, Wei Ting, Zhou Yuan, Shen Fu, Sun Dai and others sat down in turn, and explained the changes in the Black Wind Harbor during this period to Chen Hai one by one.

After Chen Hai retreated, all the big and small matters of the entire Black Wind Harbor were handed over to Sha Tianhe and Yang Yin.

Sha Tianhe has been operating near the Demon Deer Ridge for a hundred years, and has fantasized countless times that he has raised tens of thousands of elites in all directions, but it is sandwiched between the two major forces of the Northwest Pillar State General's Mansion and the Rakshasa Demon Clan's Immortal Evil Domain, leaving them with very little room for the horse thieves to survive.

Sha Tianhe didn't expect that he crossed the sea with Chen Hai, and in less than a year, there were more than 10,000 people in the Black Wind Kou - although it was cumbersome to deal with the military and political affairs of Black Wind Island for nine months, it didn't make Sha Tianhe feel cumbersome, and he was very happy with it.

In addition to the ordinary city and port repairs, the most important thing is the training of the Black Wind Army.

After the war, the soldiers and horses of the Zhou clan and the troops of Huang Zhan withdrew to Luoxia Port, and the Black Wind Army in the real sense was left with Chen Hai and Yang Yin, with less than 5,000 troops, and the elite military attachés who were cultivated above the Spirit Realm were reduced to 500 people.

After that, Chen Hai handed over the children of the rebel clans such as Xiao and Liao captured on Black Wind Island to the Zhou clan as war criminals, but scattered more than 4,000 prisoners of war who were not the children of the rebel clan, who were born in the Han family, and cultivated to the late stage of the Tongxuan Realm, into the Black Wind Army, expanding the Black Wind Army to 9,000 people.

Although the cultivation resources of Black Wind Island are limited, and the remnants of the Zhou clan are also facing great pressure, it is impossible to unlimited the training of the Black Wind Army, but the repeated brutal and bloody battles will either crush people's will, or they can temper people's will even more, thereby promoting cultivation and refinement.

Chen Hai treats the children of Hanshu equally, as long as he has the ability, roots, and qualifications, whether it is martial cultivation, sword cultivation, Xuan cultivation, or even refining weapons and alchemy, as long as he has mastered it, there is nothing that cannot be taught, and he will also ensure the supply of basic pills.

In the past nine months, a considerable number of ordinary generals have achieved breakthroughs in cultivation, making the number of grassroots military attachés in the Black Wind Army's Spirit Realm recover to about 1,200 at the fastest speed.

Wei Han, Zhu Mingwei and others successfully cultivated the Dao Dan, so that under Chen Hai, Sha Tianhe, and Yang Yin, the senior generals of the Dao Dan Realm of the Black Wind Army increased to seven people and one demon (Wei Han, Zhu Mingwei, Wei Ting, Zhou Yuan, Zhu Ziming, Shen Fu, Sun Dai, Chi Yuan), and the Winged Demon Red Army was a little close to the Dao Dan Realm, but it also stepped into the cultivation of the Fake Dan Realm.

The breakthrough in the number of middle-level generals in the Mingqi Realm was even more impressive, reaching thirty-six, two-thirds of whom were from the Demon Deer Ridge who came with Chen Hai across the sea.

This ensures that the sea-crossing soldiers will always be the core of the Black Wind Army.

Not only that, but Black Wind Island also incorporated other prisoners of war from poor families into the Craftsman Battalion, expanding the size of the Craftsman Battalion from 2,000 before the war to 10,000 people.

Although it was difficult to maintain the materials during the current extraordinary period, under the auspices of Sha Tianhe and Yang Yin, the craftsman battalion still built twelve medium-sized warships with a capacity of 1,000 tons.

It's just that the Zhou clan also desperately needs a miniaturized defensive array to strengthen the combat power of the Haiyang County soldiers and the Fujiao army, and after the war, in addition to pulling out a new banned-level Lingjiao Fubo Array to strengthen the defense of Black Wind Island, other defensive arrays that can be integrated with warships and chariots are difficult to meet the needs of Black Wind Island.

Therefore, the sea combat power of the Black Wind Kou is still mainly based on the rebuilt three Dragon Sparrow-class warships, the Blood Jiao, the Black Wind and the Black Shark, and the other warships are used as transport ships between Black Wind Island and Luoxia Harbor.

Although the reserves are not very high and the smelting is difficult, it can also provide tens of thousands of catties of Xuanyang refined iron for Heifeng Island every day, and the Zhou family has also strengthened the exploration and mining of Xuanyang iron veins in the mountains on both sides of Luoxia Port, and now it can stably transport one million catties of Xuanyang iron over almost every month for casting Xuanyang Heavy Arrow.

In the past nine months, in addition to supplying Luoxia Harbor with 60 Divine Machine Heavy Rifled Crossbows and 3 million Xuanyang Heavy Blade Arrows, Black Wind Island has also newly refined 20 Divine Machine Heavy Rifled Crossbows and reserved 1 million Xuanyang Heavy Blade Arrows.

At this time, the Black Wind Army, in addition to the expansion of the scale of middle and high-level generals, the combat power has only returned to the level before the battle with Xiao Jiang, and Sha Tianhe and Yang Yin are not very satisfied, but Chen Hai knows that the Black Wind Island and the remnants of the Zhou clan are too poor in material supply at this time, and it is already quite good to be able to do this, even if it is him, it may not be able to do better than Sha Tianhe and Yang Yin.

The Black Wind Army currently only has three Dragonbird-class warships, and the top priority is that the combat power at sea is too weak.

There are many miniaturized defensive arrays that can be integrated with chariots and warships in the Nine Counties Kingdom, and the core array weapons are at least ground-level magic weapons, even grandmaster-level refiners need a year or two to refine a ground-level magic weapon, so in addition to capturing them, it is difficult for Black Wind Island to obtain a large number of defensive magic arrays.

Chen Hai thought about building a celestial ironclad ship.

Although the Heavenly Machine Ironclad Ship cannot protect the warship like the defensive array, and some ship armor is also easy to be violently broken by strong enemies, but if the watertight cabin structure is done well, the overall defense power of a Heavenly Machine Ironclad will not be slightly worse than the Four Pillars Demon Punishment Array.

The existing warships are all wrapped in iron armor made of Xuanyang refined iron, and each warship consumes at least two million catties of Xuanyang refined iron, which is really an astronomical amount.

However, the biggest advantage of forging the Heavenly Machine Ironclad is that it is not limited by the cultivation realm of refiners and craftsmen, and it can completely bring into full play the potential of the vast majority of craftsmen in the Black Wind Army who only cultivate through the Xuan Realm.

Xuanyang iron material is insufficient, increase the intensity of surveying and mining, smelting and casting pieces of fish scales to cover the iron armor of the ship, or it may be carried out in groups; the only thing that has a restriction on the cultivation of craftsmen is only the refining of the wind flame that meets the prohibition of the heavenly machine.

After the matter of Black Wind Island was sorted out, Sha Tianhe and Yang Yin told Chen Hai about the situation on the three islands of Fusang Sea.

After the battle of Black Wind Island, the Zhou clan was not able to completely reverse the situation, after all, on land, the strength of the rebels was still much stronger, and the Zhou clan had 200,000 Haiyang soldiers left, and the rebels continued to recruit troops and horses, and the strength gathered near Zixiao Mountain has reached 400,000.

However, Xiao Jiang was defeated, and the main force of the rebel naval division was almost wiped out, Xiao Ruohai did not rush south, but led the main force to stay in Zixiao Mountain and rebuilt Beijin City, and at the same time ordered Xiao Jiang and Liu Yafu to rebuild the naval division in Qianchuan Port, and punished his son Xiao Feiyu to Beijin City to wait for his dispatch.

Even if Xiao Ruohai was not in a hurry to attack Haiyang County to govern Izumo City, but Izumo City was too close to Beijin City, less than five hundred miles, and the Zhou clan finally did not dare to defend Izumo City, and moved the Heaven and Earth Protection Array and a large number of materials of Izumo City to Luoxia Port in the south.

Sha Tianhe and Yang Yin were quite puzzled by the Zhou clan's forbearance and procrastination, and said: "The Zhou Palace Lord has the power of a great victory, although it is difficult to destroy the Xiao clan suddenly, but he has not given color to the rebellious sects and islands of the Liuyun Sect, which is a little too weak...... And it is strange to say, the Zhou family has been in charge of the Nine Counties for two or three thousand years, and the Zhou Palace Lord has stepped into the Heavenly Realm for four hundred years, it stands to reason that there should be many sect lords on the Nine Counties Island who respect and fear the Zhou family and the Zhou Palace Lord, but from the return of the Zhou Palace Lord and the victory of Black Wind Island to the present, the five counties that chose to wait and see before have all chosen to wait and see at this time, which is really strange. ”

"Don't say that the dispute between the Zhou clan and Xiao Yi is still at an obvious disadvantage, making it difficult for these wait-and-see county governments to decide, even if the Zhou clan has already gained an advantage, these county governments will probably choose to delay the opportunity as much as possible before officially participating in the war," Chen Hai said, "The Fusang Sea area and the northern demon domain are separated by tens of thousands of miles of thunder sea and natural danger, and the Rakshasa Demon has not crossed the sea on a large scale to invade the three islands of Fusang for thousands of years, and in the absence of external threats, for the sect lords and sects below, it is natural to hope that the strength of the royal family is naturally weaker and better- After all, only in this way can they have more confidence to intercept resources for the development of their own sect. In the future, if the strength reaches a certain level, it is inevitable that he will not be able to follow the current Xiao family and usurp the throne to replace the Zhou family. ”

Not to mention Wei Han, Zhu Mingwei and others, Yang Yin and Sha Tianhe used to rob money and goods, or know about military affairs, but they lacked a deep enough understanding of the politics of the sect, and they didn't expect that the calm of everything in front of them was normal.

"By the way, just two months after you were in retreat, two warships from Wanghai City in the northwest of Chongguo tried to get close to Black Wind Island and were chased away. Although Jiang Han didn't show up, I suspect that Jiang Han was on those two ships. Sha Tianhe remembered something and said to Chen Hai.

Chen Hai thought to himself that they were stirring up trouble on Black Wind Island, and as long as there were merchant ships crossing the Fusang Sea, it would not be difficult for Jiang Han to learn the news that they were in the Fusang Sea.

However, even if Jiang Han led five hundred elite soldiers to chase him from across the sea, Chen Hai was still afraid that he would be able to bite his bird at this time.

The words did not disperse until dark, and in the empty meeting hall, Chen Hai did not hold the lamp, so he sat alone in the dark.

Now that it has entered winter, not only the storm on the sea is becoming more and more violent, but the land is also dripping into ice, which is not conducive to combat, I believe that before the beginning of spring, there will not be much action in all aspects, Chen Hai thought to himself, maybe he took advantage of this time, and led the Winged Demon Red Army to dive to Subi Reef at the fastest speed, to find out if there was really a secret cave on the bottom of the sea, the ancient group of immortal sect powerhouses, Subi Zhenjun......
