The wind and rain did not stop, and the breeze was gone. A cold wind suddenly rose in the woods.

Under the cloudy sky, it was dark.

The murderous wind frightened the birds in the grass and flapped their wings, and the beasts in the forest flew in a panic.

Only a few red-eyed crows were bold and flew down on the trees in the forest in the wind, their eyes showing a fierce light, but they still quietly looked at the ground below, the ground stained red by blood and water, and the corpses of those Tu Shan clan's souls lying in the cold mud.

The fierce light in the crow's eyes revealed a bloodthirsty and eager to eat a full meal.

And because the fire gun that attacked Tu Gongjing and their souls was the oldest fire gun in the underworld in the past, but it was a thing that had been improved by Xiao Shizhu's Nine Shadows Kingdom, and it could effectively prevent water and moisture on wet and rainy days.

However, there are still some defects in this kind of firecracker, that is, they are all iron sand and lead bullets, and once they hit the target, they will inevitably be riddled with holes, and the death will inevitably be a little ugly, and the rate of fire is extremely slow and the range is not far.

Therefore, the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which equipped the army with a rainstorm gun, did not need it, and simply used it for the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

At this moment, the souls of those Tu Shan clans who fell to the ground had already been devastated by iron sand and lead bullets, and almost every piece of skin and flesh was already shattered.

Under the flesh of the wound turned outward, there were even places where white bones that had not been seen before could be seen, which were exposed at this time.

The old fox ghost who stood still looked at the corpses on the ground, which were no longer able to move, and some of the corpses, some parts of their bodies had gradually turned into blood-colored powder under the wind and rain.

The wind in the forest failed to blow the powder into the air, and the condensate swallowed and fused it, turning it into a blood-red patch.

"You shouldn't have taken on this task. The old fox looked gloating, glanced at Tu Gongjing, who was lying face down on the ground, and then spat at the other party's body and turned to leave.

The eyes of the old fox ghost have always contained disdain and indifference.

As for the killing of compatriots, it is indifferent from beginning to end.

In the eyes of the old fox ghost, life is not worthy of fear, and Tu Gongqi is like an ant to him.

In addition, the forest here is deep and the trees are thick, and there are not often ghosts that come in, and it is the human souls who die, and after a while, their bodies will turn into powder and disappear, and the old fox ghosts will sit back and relax, and they will not even bother to bury the corpses.

He swaggered and disappeared into the mist of the forest under the wind and rain, and the black shadows who had not appeared before also left this place with the old fox ghost.

The crows in the woods carried the wind and rain, and one swooped down from the trees with their wings outstretched, and swooped down on the corpses on the ground.

Just when the crows were about to pounce on the corpse, Tu Gongjing, who had been motionless before, suddenly moved his fingers.

One of the crows landed on his back in a split second.

Tu Gongjing, who should have died, suddenly opened his mouth, and when he tried to grow his mouth, he suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, and then raised his head again, startling the crow monster on his back to spread its wings and fly high.

Immediately after that, the other crows also spread their wings in a panic, flew high, and left the vicinity.

His hatred mixed with anger turned into strength, supporting him to get up from the ground with difficulty, his face covered in water marks and dirt.

I don't know if those water marks are sweat and rain, or the flowing water that flows out after being betrayed.

Tu Gongjing's arms were still bleeding. Only the chest and back, although there are countless holes in the robe and robe outside, there are no wounds in these two places on the body.

So much so that Tu Gongjing only fainted suddenly under his serious injury, but he did not accept the invitation to die.

But his companions were not so happy, during the period of time when he got up, the souls and bodies of everyone except Tu Gongqi had gradually turned into powder under the wind and rain.

Tu Gongjing sat on the ground, raised his hand in pain, opened his shirt, and looked towards his body.

He saw soft armor made of gold wire, which covered his body under his tattered tunics. Most of the iron sand and lead bullet were only stuck between the gold wires on the soft armor, and they couldn't go any further.

This is also the reason why Tu Gongjing was able to pick up a life when the fire was fired indiscriminately.

And the shrewd old fox also had times when he was blind, so he didn't come forward to check carefully, whether Tu Gongjing's clothes were lined with soft armor.

Just such an negligence allowed Tu Gongjing to survive, although he only survived, but he finally picked up a life.

Compared with the compatriots who died tragically under the guns of the guns around Tu Gongjing, Tu Gongqi was lucky.

But after looking around again, his companions were already dead, Tu Gongjing suddenly didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Tu Gongjing, who put down his hand, kept feeling the pain on the wound, and after gasping in pain, he sat in the wind and rain with a depressed expression, his eyes full of confusion.

There was blood flowing everywhere on the ground all around.

The blood-red powder turned into the souls of the dead, making the blood on the ground more colorful, and the smell of blood around them was even more pungent.

Where to go? Tu Gongjing didn't know what to do for a while?

The blood-stained wind in the forest stopped, the rain was still falling, and Tu Gongjing, who was speechless, was stunned for a moment, but still took out the golden medicine from his waist, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and when he eliminated inflammation and stopped bleeding from the wound on his arm, he exercised his ghost qi, and squeezed out the iron sand and lead bullets embedded in the meridians little by little with ghost qi.

Bloody iron sand and lead bullets slowly squeezed out of Tu Gongjing's body one by one, and then landed on the ground beside Tu Gongjing.

Jin Chuangyao made Tu Gongjing's wound hot and painful, and made him gasp a few more times.

He never died in despair and disappointment.

Even if he survives, Tu Gongjing has to live. He had to avenge his dead compatriots.

Fortunately, the lead bullet and iron sand are not big, and there are not many wounds, otherwise Tu Gongjing would not have escaped the fate of bleeding too much.

After a simple bandage, Tu Gongjing stood up and looked up at the sky in the rain, covering the canopy of dark clouds in the sky.

He froze in place, and only after watching for a long time did he bow his head.

It seemed that he had made a decision, and then he stepped forward, staggering towards the place where it met the border of the Nine Shadows Country. At the same time, he took off the repeater on his back, which had been damaged by the firecracker, and threw it in the grass on the side.

On the repeater crossbow discarded by him, the nine-tailed fox pattern of the Qingqiu Fox Country engraved on it is still clearly visible......

The sea breeze roars and the waves are surging.

It is located in the southern part of Liutian Island, and there is an elliptical island in the closest place, because it is located in the southern sea area of Liutian Island, and there are green pines on the island, which is called Nancui Island.

There are also ghosts who call it the emerald pearl on the sea outside the calf pass.

Nancui Island is surrounded by islands and reefs and the sea area is vast, the tidal flat area on the island is not small, the terrain of many mountains and valleys on the island, the steep cliffs and deep ravines between the high mountains and mountains are all over the place, there are many places where there are no people to open the gates, just can build all kinds of fortifications.

The valley between the upper mountain ranges can be cultivated into fields, and the land is fertile, which can be cultivated during the time of the garrison, ensuring that the garrison on the island has sufficient food.

In the early years, from the time of the ancient gods, this island was only seventy or eighty miles by sea because it was only seventy or eighty miles away from the port of Baoqiguan in the south of Liutianzhou, and it was also called the southern barrier of Baoqiguan.

After Emperor Xudu sat on the throne, he gradually gave up Nancui Island. The sergeants who had been stationed on the island were withdrawn one by one over the next few hundred years.

Since then, Nancui Island has gradually been abandoned.

The deserted Nancui Island has become a habitat for birds and beasts for thousands of years.

The island's fortifications and wells were gradually abandoned.

As for the several harbors that were previously set up on all sides of the island, they naturally did not escape the devastation of the perennial wind and sun, and they have long been unrecognizable, and they cannot see the past.

Patches of ruins surrounded by plants and trees remained, quietly telling the ghosts of the future about the island's past.

Now, the Nine Shadows Kingdom has taken over the control of the entire sea area of the Blind Sea, and Nancui Island is naturally no exception to the hands of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Xiao Shizhu, who likes to take precautions, knew many years ago that he would not escape the decisive battle with the Northern Yin Dynasty of Xudu, and he already had a plan in his heart, and planned to take the lead in developing Nancui Island after getting the entire Zhuhai Sea.

Xiao Shizhu values this place for no other reason, just because Nancui Island is the closest to Liutianzhou, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and at the same time, there are many fields on the island that can be cultivated, so that the soldiers who can reclaim it can build it into an impregnable sea fortress.

If Nancui Island can be made impregnable, it will be able to hold some of the outlets to the sea in the southern part of Liutianzhou.

In case the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Nine Shadows Kingdom turn their faces, Nancui Island can also become a bridgehead for the Nine Shadows Kingdom to attack the Six Heavens Continent.

Therefore, he also invested a lot of money and a lot of thought in the construction of Nancui Island.

As soon as the peace talks were signed, Gonggong led the sailors to this place. Along with them were a group of skilled craftsmen and designers in the construction materials and Hermitage department, as well as some sergeants who had already been on the battlefield and were able to fight well.

Among them, there are also a lot of flying thunder vehicles and air cavalry, and naturally there are also contact fungus people.

Subsequently, a lot of sergeants and craftsmen were sent, as well as construction materials and war preparation materials, and even the first batch of Jiuxiao Mirrors were given priority to the sergeants who were already stationed on this island.

This series of lightning-fast actions alarmed the high-ranking officials of the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor of Xudu, and once made the Emperor of Xudu and the high-ranking officials of the Northern Yin Dynasty very regretful and annoyed while being shocked.

I knew that I wouldn't have given the sea power of Nancui Island or even the entire sea to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Now, however, the wood is complete. Whether it is the ghost people of the Nine Shadows Kingdom or the people of the Northern Yin Dynasty, they all raise their hands in favor of the peace brought about by the peace talks between the two countries.

What a luxury it is to be able to recuperate and catch your breath during the years of war.

If the Beiyin Dynasty rebels and wants to take back Nancui Island, the people's hearts will definitely be shaken, and the already shaky throne of Emperor Xudu may collapse.

They could only watch the Nine Shadows Kingdom, with great fanfare, build fortifications in a place close at hand.

In just a month's time, the fortifications on Nancui Island were already taking shape.

The Nine Shadows Kingdom first built a harbor on the southern coast of the island. Craftsmen came and went, according to the designer's requirements, built forts on both sides of the harbor and on the cliffs behind them, forming a bag-shaped fortification.

There are all kinds of artillery on the fort, and there are all kinds of poisonous fire cannons, heavenly thunder cannons. The forts on both sides of the harbor are like horns, clamping down on the harbor and looking at the endless sea in front of it.

The forts and harbors built in a straight line from east to west form a large-scale architectural complex.

Each battery group is surrounded by a strong city wall, with lanes inside, barracks, depots and stables for air cavalry on both sides, and a ladder in the back section leading to the cliff or hill where the battery is located.

In the event of a battle, the artillery on the battery roars to meet the enemy, and the flying thunder vehicles and air cavalry can take off and go to sea to surprise the enemy.

At the same time, the fort is also the structure of the dark room of the bright platform, surrounded by lush green trees and shrubs, which has a great concealment effect, making it difficult for people to find the cannon from a distance.

After that, the Nine Shadows Kingdom used the same method to expand the forts on the east and west sides of the island, all of which were built in dangerous places.

At the same time, there are also dock forts and fortified fortresses and turrets that are not important for data guarding to the island.

Many of them were excavated on the spot, and then the hard rock in the mountains was dug out of a group of hidden forts that were half buried underground.

As a result, even if the coastal defense of the coastal areas of the island is captured by the enemy, it will be difficult to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the island and gain a foothold on the island.

The Guanyuecha of the Northern Yin Dynasty once used a clairvoyant mirror to quietly peek down at the progress of the entire island after the dense clouds in the sky, and they were all amazed after seeing it. The speed of construction and mobilization of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are staggering.

The continuous supply of materials and manpower from the Nine Shadows Kingdom amazed the Northern Yin Dynasty, and after thinking hard, the answer he came up with was that Xiao Shizhu had already prepared for this.

Indeed, long before Xiao Shizhu left for Huangquan, he had hoarded a lot of materials for the construction of this place. And preparations were made to dispatch the sergeants guarding the island, as well as the families of the sergeants guarding the island.

Having family members with them can not only increase the reclamation of the garrison, but also allow the sergeants defending the island to fight for their lives when they encounter attacks again.

The deeper you look on the island, the more you can see the high walls and deep courtyards dotted among the lush forests. The walls of these buildings were all solid stone walls of seven feet high, surrounded by moats and corner towers.

It can be used to house ghosts and sergeants, and can also be used as a defensive structure.

And the abundance of good trees on the island also allows the army and craftsmen of the Nine Shadows Kingdom to use local materials.

Soon, the buildings of the Nine Shadows Kingdom were spread over most of the islands, forming an impregnable line of defense, surrounding the mountains above the islands, and the placed Nine Mirrors also discovered the Guanyue Cha of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

Chunyun immediately repaired the book to the Beiyin Dynasty, and after severely accusing the Beiyin Dynasty of transgressing the bounds, he warned the Beiyin Dynasty that there would be a next time, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom would not be soft, and would definitely defeat the Guanyuecha of the Beiyin Dynasty.

At the same time, Ah San secretly publicized the matter, which made the Beiyin Dynasty receive a scolding.

Since then, the Guanyuecha of the Northern Yin Dynasty and the air cavalry have not appeared in the sky over the sea again.

Today, another group of fleets from the Nine Shadows Kingdom came to the south of Nancui Island.

The leader of the team was Gonggong, who brought supplies and hundreds of falling star cannons for the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom stationed here.

After a few days of coming, the fort near here had been built, and the co-workers who had come down from the deck saw it, and they said to General Zuo Fan, who had come up to meet him, in amazement: "The skilled craftsmen under the general are really powerful, and in just a few days, the entire southern fort has been built; ”。

As he spoke, he looked around at the forts on both sides of the harbor with admiration in his eyes.

"The fact that this impregnable fortification can be built so quickly is also due to you. Zuo Fan, who returned the salute to the co-workers, smiled and said: "If there is no governor to ensure the smooth transportation of materials and manpower, the fortifications here cannot be built so quickly." ”。

As he spoke, the workers and craftsmen who came and went helped the sergeants and crews to carry the materials carried from the warships of the Gonggong fleet one by one and transported them to all parts of the island.

The harbour in the south of Nancui Island suddenly became bustling with hustle and bustle, and the ghosts who came and went were noisy and busy, each doing their own thing.

Zuo Fan led the co-workers, and a few soldiers and ghosts accompanying the co-workers, all the way out of the harbor, away from these noisy and lively places.

"I don't think this solid soup has much to do with me, most of it is because the lord transferred you from Shuoyue Island here to be a city god. Gonggong waved his hand and said humbly: "Everyone knows that if I want to talk about the command ability and combat experience of air combat, except for the two generals Ying Zhao and Yu Rong, it is your general Zuo Fan who has the strongest ability and the most experience." ”。

"And you're a master defender, too. After a pause, he praised Zuo Fan, who was walking side by side, and said: "If the lord doesn't transfer you from Shuoyue Island, I'm afraid that the fortifications and construction here will not be built so quickly." ”。

Zuo Fan does have something outstanding in defense and stubbornness.

When Platinum died tragically, Chongshan Pass was in danger, and Zuo Fan was alone to defend it, and waited until the ghost captives led his troops to aid Chongshan Pass.

Moreover, during the air battle in Weishan City, Zuo Fan also showed his skills, and he was calm and not frizzy, so Xiao Shizhu transferred him here as soon as he got Nancui Island.

In front of Zuo Fan of Nancui Island, behind the heroic moves of Shuoyue Island, and there is Jumang sitting on Black Dragon Island, becoming its solid flank, and the defense of the sea area in the northern region of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is enough to discourage any ghost country in the Netherworld.

Even the powerful Northern Yin Dynasty did not dare to pat its chest and say that it could easily conquer the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and now it is in the Dao Dao defense line on the sea.

"The governor has a good reputation. Zuo Fan, who walked out of the harbor with the co-workers, asked: "What are the next actions that require my cooperation?"
