Chapter 73 -73 Preparing to Attack Mist Island
Fang Jie walked past the ship and continued forward.
It wasn’t long before he discovered the end of the road; the path was still being cleared and extended, but it was still some distance from the Coastal City.
Judging by the current speed, it might take about two more days to reach the city.
In this place, a large number of wooden ships were piled up at the end of the road.
The ships varied in size, with the largest reaching over a hundred meters in length—Fang Jie marveled at how the Skeletons were able to carry them and keep them hoisted.
Even the smaller ones exceeded twenty meters; Qin Lan did not purchase any that were smaller.
After all, since they were to be used at sea, even if just along the coast, it would not be practical to use ones that were too small.
Fang Jie walked around and continued onward.
Passing Coastal Village, Fang Jie arrived at the seaside, where the Fortress that he had ordered the Skeletons to build was complete, now covering a large swath of the coast.
With the surrounding Arrow Towers and Observation Towers, he could fully control this stretch of the coast.
Every so often, sea creatures would emerge and attack the patrolling Skeletons nearby.
But after the skirmish, these creatures would turn into Corpse Bones and be thrown into the Skeleton Conversion Field to become his own Skull Soldiers.
“Very good, this place has now thoroughly taken off,” Fang Jie nodded.
Without engaging in Fission of the Skull Soldiers, Fang Jie first released the Death Crow.
According to the time, it was now noon, which offered a clear view of Mist Island.
Mist Island wasn’t far from the coast—a distance within Fang Jie’s surveillance range.
“Indeed, there are ruins, and that must be the statue in the middle,” Fang Jie observed through the Death Crow, fixating on an isle at that location.
It was more accurate to say that it was a fairly large reef than an isle.
The ruins, whose original purpose was unclear after so many years, might have been ignored by Fang Jie if not for the blue glow emitted by the statue in the shape of a woman.
But because of this glow, it indicated that the statue was likely authentic.
If someone from New Moon Kingdom discovered such a statue, they would surely try every means to acquire it.
No matter what, Fang Jie had set his sights on this item.
Afterward, Fang Jie looked to the nearby Fishmen dwelling in the area.
The number of Fishmen on the isle exceeded two thousand, possibly more.
Including those in the ocean, this number could be over ten thousand, or even greater.
On land, Fang Jie would not be concerned about such numbers, but in the sea, it was a different matter.
Within his own Territory, there was no troop capable of fighting in the sea.
So crossing directly was out of the question.
Taking ships was also problematic; aside from the question of whether the ships could make the journey, the Fishmen weren’t vegetarians.
Fishmen by the sea were always considered a disaster.
Ships that caught the attention of Fishmen often ended up being pierced through.
Fang Jie did not know how others resolved this issue, but he knew that fishermen had no means, and neither did the ordinary ships he had bought.
“It seems the only way is by utilizing aerial strength.
Currently, I have sixty Mechanical Flying Eagles, and while they have the capability to transport Skeleton Soldiers, it’s not quite sufficient.
If all were upgraded to Black Iron rank, they could each transport a dozen or even more than twenty at a time.”
Fang Jie silently calculated, knowing it would indeed be impossible to transport so many at once if not for the fact that his Skeletons were made of lightweight bones.
Of course, it was possible that even more could be carried over, but Fang Jie was just making an approximate assessment.
“If the initial number is too small and the Fishmen notice the incursion, it could be very troublesome.
To capture that place, we must increase the numbers significantly.”
Fang Jie began to quietly strategize the assault on Mist Island.
From a distance, the location of Mist Island was quite favorable.
This place was suitable for establishing a lighthouse to guide ships.
In addition, the island could serve as an outpost, which was perfect both in location and size.
Therefore, the importance of capturing this place became even greater.
“If only I had an airship, those have stronger transport capabilities,” Fang Jie thought about airships, which he had heard of but could neither purchase nor produce with his Alchemy Workshop.
Fang Jie gave some instructions to Qin Lan and then waited by the sea.
He waited for his military strength to assemble and also for the road construction to complete.
The ships were still needed—not now, but later on.
Without ships, there was no way he could transport the statue back.
After half a day, the vanguard of the army arrived, hastening to the seaside and setting up camp near Fang Jie.
The Earth people left back in Feifeng Village were profoundly shocked upon seeing so many powerful Undead Creatures.
“Terrifying, utterly terrifying, there are even ones of Bronze rank,” a young man from Earth widened his eyes and clutched at his heart, worried about a heart attack.
“It’s a shame there’s no photo feature anymore; otherwise, I definitely would have snapped some pictures to show off.”
After losing their Lord status, they lost those capabilities.
Now they truly realized how many things were indeed very troublesome without the status of a Lord, but regret was useless now.
“Okay, okay, clear the way, just watch from the side.
Our boss has some serious skills,” Qin Lan said with a smile.
After today, those with ulterior motives would quiet down.
With just ordinary military strength, perhaps they might have other ideas, but with a large number of troops at the Black Iron and even Bronze level, Fang Jie’s forces had already surpassed the combat power of the border towns of New Moon Kingdom.
In so little time, with the passage of time, Fang Jie’s strength was bound to continually rise.
Too bad she wasn’t as lucky, but being a deputy didn’t seem so bad after all.
Another day and a half passed, and the road was finally repaired up to Coastal Village.
From there to the seaside, there weren’t many trees.
Even without a road, the Skeleton Labor could carry the ships over.
“We can start the plan; you move the ships aside first.”
With Fishmen in the sea, Fang Jie didn’t feel confident leaving the ships in the water—what if they sank?
Besides, he didn’t have sailors to use, and a ship taken by the sea’s current could be difficult to retrieve.
Skeleton Labor excelled at work, but handling ships was not within their expertise.
Fang Jie waited until the evening, then looking into the distance, he said, “The timing is just right, let’s begin from here.”
Behind him, the Mechanical Flying Eagles were ready.
After days of efforts in gathering materials, there were now more than eighty Mechanical Flying Eagles.
