After hearing this, Yang Tian shook his head and said, "It's not suitable to go ashore for the time being, let's go around the island first and see if there is a suitable place to park these more than 100 Sea King-class warships." After all, when we land, these warships can only stay at sea, and if there is no special guard, they can only become live targets. ”
Gan Ning also nodded and said, "The lord has a point, we can first find a place with a large natural harbor, park the Sea King giant ship we encounter there, and then build a village nearby, so that these ships are within the territory range, and we don't have to worry about being actively attacked by the fish monster." ”
Yang Tian smiled, it seemed that Gan Ning's analysis was completely in line with his mind.
Without a moment's pause, he spun along the shores of the island. While they are looking for a natural harbor, they also have a more intuitive understanding of the whole island.
The island is not round, but oval. Xiaolong was not wrong before, the east-west span of this island is only about 100 kilometers, and the north-south span is about 200 kilometers. It covers an area of nearly 20,000 square kilometers. Such a huge island is rare in the Dahan Sea.
The only downside is that the plains of the island are very small, and although they are not extremely high, they are also hilly, and apart from a wide beach at sea level, it is difficult to find a flat place anywhere else. Of course, they hesitated that the entire island was surrounded by mountains, and as for what the situation on the island would be, they had no way of guessing. Surrounded by mountains, there may be a large plain.
This is just Yang Tian's imagination, and the possibility is not very large.
Yang Tian secretly decided that in the future, he would make this island a transit point between China and the Endless Sea. Although the terrain is not very favorable, Yang Tian did not plan to make this place a place with a developed manufacturing industry, and it does not need much land area. As long as it can meet the transit of people and goods, it doesn't matter what else matters.
Therefore, finding a natural harbor is definitely a matter of urgency. As long as the port is found, the other qiē is a good decision.
After taking a turn, Yang Tian and the others had a more detailed understanding of the terrain around the island, and after being accompanied by professionals, they also selected a list of several candidate ports. All that remains to be done now is to finalize the final location.
After a round of careful analysis, Yang Tian and the others finally decided to establish the village in the southernmost part of the island, which was suitable for building a port. There are several reasons for this, the first is that the south faces the depths of the Endless Sea, which is more conducive to further outward expansion. Of course, in the event of an enemy attack. Villages built to the south are also more suitable for defense. Secondly, there is a slightly flat piece of land in this place, the whole area is about 100 square kilometers, divided into two pieces, and there is a drop of forty or fifty meters in the middle. In contrast, the more than 70 square kilometers of land below are a little more flat. After all, it was washed out by the sea, and it was difficult to think about it, and the land above was a shallow hill, so you can build a building, but you need to level the land before you can start construction. But overall, the place is good enough.
Based on these two reasons, Yang Tian chose the place of the village here. The next step is to land.
Of course. There is no difficulty in landing on the shore itself, the key is that before the village is established, all the surrounding beasts need to be cleared, otherwise the village will not need to be built. Because even if it is built, it won't be able to manage for a few days, and it will be directly destroyed by those powerful beasts. For an alien species like humans, the indigenous animals on the island are absolutely 200 percent unwelcome.
The next command work was handed over to Gan Ning. For such a thing, Gan Ning is the most suitable person here.
The trees throughout the island are very dense. Except for the place where there is no vegetation due to the impact of the perennial tide, all the other places are overgrown with tall trees, and some even ten people can't hug each other. Under the cover of these trees, Yang Tian and the others could not see whether there were wild beasts hidden inside.
But this is not difficult for Gan Ning, since there is no movement, let's startle the snake! These are just beasts, they can't have the same spirit as Qiu Shaoyun, when their lives are threatened, they will naturally make a move.
At that moment, I saw that Gan Ning ordered all the ships to line up, and all the catapults were ready, and then Gan Ning gave the order, and countless boulders were thrown into the woods. Whether this will hit the target or not, it's hard to say. Anyway, it's just to disturb the beasts inside.
This trick really worked, after a round of attacks by the catapult, the forest suddenly exploded, and the roars of countless beasts came out of it, echoing between the mountains and forests, and many birds also rushed into the air, but there were no large birds in it, as for the combat effectiveness, it is unknown. After flying into the air, these birds did not rush over to attack the fleet, but flew deeper into the mountains.
Some wild beasts also rushed out of the forest, most of them were leopards, tigers and other animals, but these beasts were indeed much more energetic and larger than the domestic beasts. Even compared to ordinary bosses of the same type, it is not far behind. And the number is also very impressive, almost in the hundreds. It's hard to see a beast like this on the continent.
"Lord, let's let the Iron Eagle Warrior land first!" Gan Ning said to Yang Tianjian.
Yang Tian looked at the group of beasts on the shore, but there were some ninth-order beasts in it, although they were all first-order or second-order, but they were not an eighth-order soldier like the Jinfan Sailor Army that could compete with them, even if they could be completely wiped out, their own side would pay a heavy price.
At that moment, Yang Tian nodded, agreed to Gan Ning's construction, and then ordered the Iron Eagle Ruishi to land immediately, quickly exterminate those beasts that rushed out of the forest, and establish a defense line as quickly as possible to assist the large army to land.
In an instant, all the Iron Eagle Warriors summoned the golden eagle and flew towards the shore. As the golden eagle swept from a low altitude, the Iron Eagle Warriors leapt from their backs and engaged in a fierce confrontation with the beasts on the ground.
This may be regarded as the first evenly matched engagement that the Iron Eagle Warriors have ever engaged, or it is basically evenly matched. There is still a big gap between those beasts and the Iron Eagle Warriors in terms of numbers.
The battle began suddenly, shattering the tranquility of the island in an instant, but it ended quickly, and in a matter of minutes, hundreds of beasts that had rushed out of the forest were slaughtered, and corpses were placed on the ground, indicating the fierce battle that had just broken out.
