The wind and rain remained uninterrupted, and the breeze disappeared. A stern north wind suddenly rose in the forest.

Under the dark clouds, it was dark.

The north wind mixed with murderous aura frightened the birds in the grass and flapped their wings and flew; the beasts in the forest ran in panic.

Only a few red-eyed crows were brave enough to fly down on the trees in the forest in the wind, with fierce eyes, but they still looked quietly at the ground below, the ground dyed with blood, and lying in the cold mud

, the corpses of the Tushan clan souls.

In the fierce light in the crow's eyes, there was a kind of bloodthirst and a desire to have a full meal.

The muskets that attacked Tu Gongjing and others were the oldest muskets in the past in the underworld, but were improved by Xiao Shizhu's Jiuyou Kingdom, and they could effectively waterproof and moisture-proof on wet and rainy days.

However, there are still defects of this kind of musket, which is that it is all iron sand and lead bullets. Once it hits the target, it will inevitably be full of holes. It will inevitably be a bit ugly, and the firing rate is extremely slow and the range is not far.

Therefore, Jiuyou Kingdom, which equipped the army with heavy rain guns, was not needed, so he simply used it to Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.

At this moment, the souls of the Tushan clan who fell to the ground had already been devastated by iron sand and lead bullets, and almost every piece of flesh was already broken.

Under the flesh and blood of the wound, there were even some places where the bones that could not be seen before were exposed, which were exposed at this time.

The old fox ghost who stood still looked at the corpses that could no longer move on the ground; several of them, some parts of the body, had gradually turned into blood-colored powder under the wind and rain.

The north wind in the forest failed to blow the powder up, and the condensed water swallowed and fused it, turning into a blood red.

"You shouldn't take on this task." The old fox looked gloating and looked blank. He glanced at Tu Gongjing, who was lying down face down, then spitted on the other party and turned around and left.

The old fox ghost's eyes always contain disdain and indifference.

It doesn't matter whether the killing of compatriots begins and ends.

In the eyes of the old fox ghost, life is not worthy of awe; Tu Gongqi and others are even more like ants to him.

In addition, the forest is deep and the trees are lush, and ghosts often come in; those who die are human souls. After a period of time, their bodies will turn into powder and disappear. The old fox ghost will rest assured and bury them.

I don't bother to do the corpse.

He disappeared into the fog in the forest under the storm. The dark shadows who had not appeared before also left the place with the old fox ghost.

The crows in the forest were carrying wind and rain, and one of them spread his wings and fell from the tree, rushing upwards to the corpses on the ground.

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

One of the crows fell on his back in a flash.

Tu Gongjing, who should have died, suddenly opened his mouth and when he grew his mouth hard, he suddenly let out a long sigh and raised his head again, which was so shocked that the crow on his back screamed and spread his wings and flew high.

Immediately afterwards, the other crows spread their wings in panic, flew high, and left the neighborhood.

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

I don’t know if the 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, and although there were countless ripped robes and straw raincoats outside, there were no wounds on these two parts of his body.

So much so that Tu Gongjing suddenly fainted when seriously injured, but did not accept the invitation to death.

But his companions were not so lucky. During the period when he got up, the souls and bodies of other people except Tu Gongqi had gradually turned into powder under the storm.

Tu Gongjing sat on the ground, raised his hand hard to endure the pain, pulled open his clothes, and looked at his body.

When he saw the soft armor made of gold wire, he covered his body under his ragged coat. Most of the iron sand and lead bullets were just stuck between the golden wires on the soft armor, and he could not go further.

This is why Tu Gongjing was able to save his life when fired in a random fire.

The smart old fox was blind and did not come forward to check carefully whether the soft armor was lined with this guy Tu Gongjing's clothes.

Just such an negligence made Tu Gongjing survive successfully; although he only survived, he finally saved his life.

Compared with those of Tu Gongjing, who died tragically under the muzzle of the muzzle around him, Tu Gongqi was lucky.

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

Tu Gongjing, who put down his hand, felt pain from the wound that was touching. After taking a breath of air conditioning in pain, he sat in the wind and rain with a depressed expression, his eyes were filled with confusion.

There was still blood flowing all over the ground.

The blood-red powder turned into by the dead soul makes the blood on the ground thicker and the bloody smell around it is even more pungent.

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

The blood-stained north wind in the forest stopped, and the rain was still falling; Tu Gongjing, who did not say a word, was stunned for a moment, but took out the gold-chuang medicine from his waist, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and used the wound on his arm to prevent inflammation and stop bleeding.

He exercised the ghost energy and squeezed out the iron sand and lead bullets embedded in the meridians little by little with the ghost energy.

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

Jinchuang Medicine made Tu Gongjing's wounds so painful that he made him gasp for several more air conditioners.

He never died in despair and disappointment.

Even if he survives, Tu Gongjing will still survive. He must avenge his dead compatriots.

Fortunately, the lead bullets and iron sand are not big, and there are not many wounds, otherwise Tu Gongjing would not be able to escape the fate of dying due to excessive bleeding.

After briefly bandaging, Tu Gongjing stood up, looked up in the rain and looked over the sky, covering the tree canopy that covered the dark clouds in the sky.

He stood there in a daze, looked at it for a while before bowing his head down.

It seemed that he had made a decision, and then he stepped forward and staggered towards the place where he connected to the border with the Jiuyou Kingdom. At the same time, he took off the crossbow that had been broken by a musket on his back.

It was thrown randomly in the grass beside it.

On the crossbow he discarded, the nine-tailed fox pattern of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom carved is still clearly visible...

The wind roars in the sea of ​​peace and waves surging.

The closest place to the south of Liutianzhou is an island that looks like an elliptical. Because it is located in the southern waters of Liutianzhou, there are green pines on the island, called Nancui Island.

Some ghosts also call it the jade pearl on the sea outside Baodu Pass.

The islands and reefs around Nancui Island are staggered and the sea area is vast. The island has a large area of ​​tidal flats. There are mountains and valleys on the island. There are steep cliffs and deep valleys among the mountains and ridges. There are many men who can pass by thousands of men who can't open them.

There are just a few places where all kinds of fortifications can be built.

The canyons between the mountains can also be reclaimed and the land is fertile, so it can be reclaimed and cultivated when the army is stationed to ensure that the island's troops have sufficient food.

In the early years, since the age of the ancient gods, this island was only seventy or eighty miles away from the Baoduguan Port in the south of the Six Heavenly Prefecture. It was also called the Baodu South Barrier, Fengdu Army and Xuan Emperor.

The army stationed on the island one after another, guarding the waters entering Baoduguan Harbor.

After the Emperor of Fengdu firmly took up the throne, he gradually gave up Nancui Island. The soldiers who had previously stationed on the island also withdrew one by one within the following hundreds of years.

Nancui Island gradually became deserted from then on.

The abandoned Nancui Island has become a habitat for beast souls for thousands of years.

The fortifications and wells on the island gradually became abandoned.

As for the several harbors set up on all sides of the island, they naturally did not escape the destruction of the wind and sun all year round. They were already beyond recognition and could not see what they used to be.

There were left behind a piece of ruins surrounded by plants and trees, quietly telling the past of this island to the ghosts of later generations.

Now, Jiuyou Kingdom has taken over the control of the entire sea area of ​​Minghai, and Nancui Island is no exception and falls into the hands of Jiuyou Kingdom.

Xiao Shizhu, who likes to prepare for the future many years ago, knew that he would not escape the decisive battle with the Northern Yin Dynasty of Fengdu, had already had a lot of conspiracy in his mind, and planned to take the lead in developing Nancui Island after getting the entire Minghai.

Xiao Shizhu values ​​this place for no other reason, just because Nancui Island is closest to Liutianzhou, easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the same time, there are many fields on the island that can be reclaimed so that the sergeants can build it into an indestructible sea fortress.

.

If Nancui Island can be made solid, it can guard some of the sea outlets in the southern part of Liutianzhou.

If the Beiyin Dynasty and Jiuyou Kingdom turn against each other, Nancui Island can also become the bridgehead for Jiuyou Kingdom to attack Liutianzhou.

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 navy to this place. Together with Nancui Island were there, there were a group of craftsmen and designers with excellent civil engineering skills in the Hermitage Department, as well as some of them who had already gone to Nancui Island.

He has been on the battlefield and is able to conquer soldiers who are good at fighting.

There are also many flying thunder chariots and air cavalrymen, and naturally, there are also bacterial people who can contact you.

Later, a lot of sergeants and craftsmen, as well as construction materials and combat preparation materials were sent. 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 senior officials of the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor of Fengdu, which once shocked the Emperor of Fengdu and the senior officials of the Northern Yin Dynasty and were very regretful and annoyed.

If I had known this, I would not have given the sea power of Nancui Island and even the entire Minghai to Jiuyou Kingdom.

However, now the dead are ready. Whether it is the ghost people of Jiuyou Kingdom or the people of the Northern Yin Dynasty, they all agree with the peace brought about by the peace talks between the two countries.

What a luxury it is to be able to rest and take a breath during the years of war.

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

They could only watch the Jiuyou Kingdom, building fortifications in a very close place with great fanfare.

In just one month, the fortifications on Nancui Island had taken shape.

Jiuyou Kingdom first built a harbor on the vital point of the southern coast of the island. The craftsmen who came and went built a fortress on both sides of the harbor and on the cliffs behind them according to the designer's requirements, forming bag-shaped fortifications.

Various artillery on the fort are dominant, with all kinds of poisonous fire god cannons and thunder cannons. The turrets on both sides of the harbor form horns, clamping the port and gaze at the endless seas ahead.

The turrets and harbors built in straight lines from east to west have formed a large-scale building complex.
