After returning to the Lord's Mansion of Heiyan Island to rest for the night, Zhao Hu summoned Han Lei, Zheng Haoran, He Zhiyong, Li Zhijie, Cheng Zhiming and other core members who stayed on Heiyan Island to the meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion to inquire about the progress of the construction of Heiyan Island.

From Han Lei, Zheng Haoran, He Zhiyong, Li Zhijie, and Cheng Zhiming, after learning that the construction of Heiyan Island was very smooth, a little faster than the original plan, Zhao Hu's face showed a satisfied smile.

However, although the construction of Heiyan Island is progressing smoothly, Zhao Hu is a little dissatisfied and does not want to spend ten years to complete the task of clearing the sixteenth level of the base, so Zhao Hu is ready to revise the construction plan and speed up the construction process.

However, Zhao Hu's original construction plan was based on the actual situation of Heiyan Island, and if the construction plan was modified without authorization, it would affect the construction process and quality of Heiyan Island, which Zhao Hu was unwilling to accept.

In order to speed up the construction on the basis of not affecting the quality of construction, Zhao Hu is ready to expand outward, take the islands and sea areas around Heiyan Island into control, and wantonly plunder the population and materials on the surrounding sea areas and islands, enrich Heiyan Island and speed up the construction process of Heiyan Island.

Zhao Hu believes that only with sufficient population and materials, the construction process of Heiyan Island will be accelerated a lot, and how much it will be accelerated depends on how much Zhao Hu can increase the investment of population and materials for Heiyan Island.

After making a decision in his heart, Zhao Hu directly revised the construction plan, and asked Han Lei, Zheng Haoran, He Zhiyong, Li Zhijie, Cheng Zhiming and others to build Heiyan Island according to the new plan, and he devoted himself to the process of reorganizing the army and making final preparations for foreign expansion.

At this time, the slaves purchased by Zhao Hu from the Wang Slave House had arrived at Heiyan Island and were placed in the military camp of Heiyan Island by Zhao Hu.

The Heiyan Army under Zhao Hu had 100,000 people, including 19 (elite) soldiers at the sixth level, 18 soldiers at the fifth level, more than 3,000 soldiers at the fourth level, and more than 10,000 soldiers at the third level.

Now Zhao Hu purchased 1,000 6-level warriors, 10,000 5-level warriors, and 100,000 4-level warriors from the Wang Slave Company, and recruited hundreds of thousands of second-level and third-level warriors from Heiyan Island, so that the number of the Black Rock Army smoothly swelled to one million.

Of course, the million-strong army can't simply be called the Black Rock Army! Zhao Hu divided the million-strong army into three parts, of which 100,000 troops were used as the navy of Heiyan Island, and gave ten light battleships at sea, 100 sea cruisers, and 1,000 sea thunder ships to the 100,000 navy to maintain the maritime security of Heiyan Island.

Ten light battleships at sea, 100 cruisers at sea, and 1,000 thunder ships at sea, although they are only a small part of the sea warships purchased by Zhao Hu, they have extremely strong strength and can completely dominate the waters near Heiyan Island.

In fact, Zhao Hu also wanted to take out more warships for the navy, but the number of the navy was too small, and there was no way to control more warships, so he could only wait until the future expansion of the navy to give the navy more warships.

The 100,000 Navy was named the First Fleet by Zhao Hu, with one light battleship at sea, 100 cruisers at sea, and 1,000 Thunder ships at sea.

After the reorganization of the navy, Zhao Hu drew 100,000 people from the million-strong army as the Black Rock Island Air Force, and gave ten light battleships, 100 cruisers and 1,000 thunder ships, named the First Division of the Black Rock Island Air Force.

The remaining 800,000 troops were reorganized by Zhao Hu into eight land divisions, which were called the first division, the second division, 、、、、 the eighth division, and were given the corresponding transport fleet and escort fleet respectively.

The reorganization of the million-strong army is not a simple matter, it is very cumbersome and wasteful, and it took two weeks for Zhao Hu to successfully complete the reorganization of the million-strong army.

However, at this time, the million-strong army has not experienced much fighting, and its combat effectiveness is not very strong, so it needs some opponents to hone it to enhance the combat effectiveness and confidence of the army, and run in the soldiers, so that the soldiers can better cooperate and exert greater combat effectiveness.

Because the naval sea base has not yet been completed, it is convenient for Zhao Hu to immediately carry out the expansion of the expedition, so he let the million-strong army under the leadership of officers at all levels carry out drills and run-in to make final preparations for the expedition.

At the same time, Zhao Hu summoned Zhao Xinhe's six sixth-level warrior guards and eighteen fifth-level warrior guards auctioned in the imperial capital to his side, and gave them upgrade fruits, so that the strength of Zhao Xin and these warrior guards was upgraded by one level, and also allowed Zhao Hu to have seven seventh-level warriors and eighteen sixth-level warriors under his command.

These seven seventh-level fighters and eighteen sixth-level fighters, Zhao Hu did not let them out, but stayed by his side, as his own bodyguard, to protect his own safety, and when necessary, as an assault team, to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

In order to improve the strength of Zhao Xin and the other more than twenty guards, Zhao Hu took out more than twenty Flame Fruits and Cold Ice Fruits after the strength of Zhao Xin and the other twenty or so guards was raised by one level, and let Zhao Xin and more than twenty guards choose at will.

In the end, Zhao Xin chose the Flame Fruit, most of the other twenty or so guards chose the Flame Fruit, and the small half chose the Cold Ice Fruit, and the fighting qi in his body was transformed into Flame Fighting Qi and Cold Ice Fighting Qi, and his strength and combat effectiveness increased greatly.

Time passed like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, two weeks passed, and the Black Rock Island Sea Base was successfully completed, and the construction of ports and docks along the coast of Black Rock Island began.

At the same time, after two weeks of training and running-in, the million-strong army has been exercised to a certain extent, and the cooperation between the soldiers has been much more harmonious, Zhao Xin and more than 20 guards have also successfully mastered the flame fighting qi and cold ice fighting qi in their bodies, and their strength and combat effectiveness have been greatly improved.

At this time, the preparations for external expansion had been completed, and Zhao Hu did not hesitate to let the 100,000 navy keep Heiyan Island in his hands to protect the safety of Heiyan Island, and expand to the waters near Heiyan Island, capture all the small islands near Heiyan Island, and build ports and docks on suitable small islands to facilitate the docking of the naval fleet.

Zhao Hu took 100,000 air forces and 800,000 army forces, took warships and transport ships, flew into the clouds, and rushed towards Cuiyun Island, thousands of miles away from Heiyan Island.

Cuiyun Island is located more than 6,000 miles away from Heiyan Island, the area is ten times that of Heiyan Island, with many plains and hills, fertile land, dense forests, large population, and extremely rich resources.

Because of the huge area of Cuiyun Island, there are no strength saint-level warriors, there are no ninth-level warriors, only a handful of eighth-level warriors and a small number of seventh-level warriors, therefore, Cuiyun Island does not have a unified political power, and it is divided and occupied by hundreds of countries, large and small, and it is extremely chaotic.

The warships and transport ships purchased by Zhao Hu were all military supplies of the Ultron Empire, and the flight speed was very fast, and in just a few hours, Zhao Hu led the air force and army of Black Rock Island to enter the sky over Cuiyun Island smoothly and landed slowly.

Zhao Hu's goal this time is very simple, that is, the population and resources on Cuiyun Island, as for the land, Zhao Hu doesn't care very much, because Zhao Hu doesn't need the land of Cuiyun Island for the time being, and the land of Black Rock Island is enough for it.

The arrival of the huge fleet alarmed the local residents of Cuiyun Island at the first time and spread quickly.

However, the movement of the army under Zhao Hu was very fast, and the news of the arrival of the fleet had just reached the ears of the local lord, and the 800,000 troops under Zhao Hu had already come out of the transport ships and expanded to the surrounding areas with divisions and regiments.

The 80th Army under Zhao Hu was well-equipped and had strong personal combat effectiveness, and the local residents and soldiers of Cuiyun Island were no match at all, so they could only surrender helplessly, or be ruthlessly killed.

In just one day, the 800,000 army under Zhao Hu easily captured dozens of cities within a radius of thousands of miles, capturing a large amount of wealth and population.

In order to accomplish his expected goal, Zhao Hu did not let the 800,000 army under his command continue to expand, but asked the 800,000 army to maintain the security and stability of the occupied city, and transferred manpower from the captured soldiers to form a servant army to assist the Black Rock Army army in collecting all kinds of materials, wealth and population that captured the city.

In the face of the incomparably powerful Black Rock Army, a large number of captured soldiers threw themselves into Zhao Hu's arms, became a member of the servant corps, and began to collect the material wealth and population in the city under Zhao Hu's will, and escorted them to large transport ships.

Dozens of cities and affiliated towns and villages, with millions of people and huge material wealth, it takes a lot of time and energy to transport them all.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Hu did not hesitate or hesitate at all, immediately gave up a large number of ordinary materials, and took the lead in transporting the population and rare materials back to Heiyan Island, enhancing the population, materials and heritage of Heiyan Island, and speeding up the construction process of Heiyan Island.

While Zhao Hu was busy transferring wealth and population, Zhao Hu captured the Emperor of the Qiuyun Empire, to which the city belonged, and also received the news that Zhao Hu had captured dozens of cities, and immediately convened a meeting of ministers to discuss how to deal with Zhao Hu, the invader.

Although the Qiuyun Empire is not the most powerful empire on Cuiyun Island, it is not an ordinary small country on Cuiyun Island, but a tenth-ranked empire, with a population of hundreds of millions and tens of millions of troops, and the emperor and ministers of the empire have extremely powerful arrogance.

As soon as they heard that someone had invaded the empire, the emperor and the ministers did not hesitate or hesitate at all, and without getting accurate information, they only held a small meeting, mobilized millions of troops, and rushed towards the place where Zhao Hu was.
