The outlying island archipelago has hundreds of islands, large and small.
In the middle of this east-west island chain, there is a narrow strait called the Outlying Island Strait, which divides the island chain into two parts from the center. This strait is also the front line of the confrontation between the outlying island coalition forces and the Huoyunzhou forces.
For the Haiya Fleet, this outlying island strait, which is about seven or eight miles wide, is not even an obstacle. However, for Tian Beixi, who commands the indigenous army, it is not easy to transport a large amount of supplies across the strait.
At present, Tian Beixi has stayed at the forward base on the west coast of the Outlying Island Strait for seven or eight days. However, the progress of material transportation from the rear is still far less than expected. Fortunately, the Allied Forces from the Outlying Islands have been frightened by Tian Beixi's "demon method" and did not take the opportunity to attack
The advance base established by the Huoyun State forces must be attacked halfway, otherwise the situation will become very troublesome.
Tian Beixi, the cultivator who made the entire outlying island tremble, was actually just a young female monk in her twenties.
She has long black hair similar to Li Qingning's, which is rolled up by a black wooden hairpin and bifurcated from her back to her waist. Her arms are covered with black sleeves and dark blue finger cots, and the loose and elegant sleeves hang down naturally.
, wearing a blue scarf around his neck, wearing a dark blue and black alternating cheongsam-style dress, the hem is shaped like a bird's tail, and the neckline is embroidered with water-attribute phoenix patterns.
Rather than saying that this is a cultivator, it is better to say that she is a lady with a bookish style.
However, the Tian family of Huoyunzhou is indeed a famous family that has been inherited for nearly ten thousand years in the world of cultivation. Both Tian Beixi and Tian Shangcheng, the former head of the Shenhuo Sect, are direct members of the Tian family of Huoyunzhou.
However, the two of them are not related to Tian Daxiao, the current head of the Shenhuo Sect.
Tian Daxiao came from a serious grassroots background, and his ancestors thousands of years ago may have been members of the Tian family in Huoyun State. However, just like Liu Huangshu claimed to be Prince Jing of Zhongshan, Tian Daxiao had no evidence to prove that he was a real member of the Tian family.
Some people even suspect that Tian Daxiao's ancestors changed their surname to Tian just to put themselves in a better position.
Considering that Tian Daxiao has always been known for being good at speculation, this statement was once very popular in Huoyun State.
It was precisely because of Tian Daxiao's humble background that during the third Lingshi financial crisis, he chose to cross the ocean and come to Zhongzhou to try his luck. In the end, he was fortunate enough to become the direct subordinate of President Lu Yang, achieving a great counterattack in life.
After Tian Daxiao broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, no one gradually raised the issue of his origin. Even the Tian family's sect in Huoyun Prefecture no longer denied that Tian Daxiao was his descendant.
In order to unite the local forces in Huoyun State, Tian Daxiao was of course happy to go with the flow and accept Tian Beixi, a talented rising star of the Tian family in Huoyun State, as his direct disciple. This was considered to have solidified the kinship relationship between the two parties.
This is the cultivation version of "rich people live in the mountains but have distant relatives"!
But even if she puts aside her prominent family background, Tian Beixi is definitely no idiot. Everyone who meets Tian Beixi will be impressed by her amazing insight and extraordinary mind.
Even Tian Daxiao, a master in the field of cultivation economics, was full of praise for Tian Beixi's exploratory spirit and business wisdom, claiming that he was the best genius he had ever seen. In one public occasion, Tian Daxiao even said, "President Lu is young.
This is the amazing comment.
Although many people felt that Tian Daxiao was exaggerating, but after seeing that Tian Beixi had received a golden wheel of merit less than a year after entering the Immortal Sect, these gossips were speechless.
Even if Tian Beixi is not as good as Mr. Lu when he was young, he is definitely not someone ordinary people are qualified to evaluate!
Although Tian Beixi behaves more like the eldest lady of aristocratic families than Li Qingning, and is gentle and approachable in her dealings with others, she is actually a very proud person. Whenever she sees others being impressed by her wisdom, Tian Beixi will smile on her face
One more point.
Faced with other people's doubts about her abilities, the proud Tian Beixi certainly didn't bother to refute, and she chose to go to the outlying island to prove herself!
Many people don't know that Huoyunzhou's plan to conquer the outlying islands was not actually proposed by Tian Daxiao, but was formulated by Tian Beixi himself.
At first, Tian Daxiao actually did not agree with his direct disciples venturing out to the outlying islands. After all, Tian Beixi had only been practicing for one year. If something happened on the outlying islands, the loss would be too great!
However, Tian Beixi insisted that if he could not capture the outlying island, others would have no chance. It would be better to take advantage of his low cultivation level and be able to pass the test of the Ten Thousand Miles of Smoke Formation and go to the outlying island to try it himself.
Tian Beixi is not a foolhardy person. She obviously has enough confidence when she dares to come to the island.
After showing his trump card to Tian Daxiao, even Tian Daxiao had to admit that the success rate of Tian Beixi's plan was quite high. Considering that his disciple was soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and would never give up easily, Tian Daxiao finally reluctantly agreed.
Tian Beixi's bold request for action.
And Tian Beixi did not disappoint Tian Daxiao.
After taking over the management of Guhong Island, Tian Beixi showed a destructive attitude. One hundred thousand outlying island coalition forces were defeated by her. In just two months, she basically unified the entire northeastern area of the outlying island. If it were not for Guhong Island
The outlying islands themselves are not wealthy, and their fundamentals are too poor. I am afraid her advancement speed will be even faster.
Seeing that the outlying island coalition forces were defeated by him, Tian Beixi can now be said to be a hundred times more confident: As long as the main force of Guhong Island successfully crosses the outlying island strait, the reunification of the outlying islands will be just around the corner!
In Tian Beixi's view, the enemy that currently poses the greatest threat to her is the armed merchant fleet formed by the Haiya Chamber of Commerce.
Due to the existence of cultivators, the concept of navy does not exist in the Kyushu cultivation world. After all, no matter how powerful the creations of mortals are, they are as fragile as paper in front of high-level cultivators. No matter how powerful the mortal fleet is, just do a foundation-building cultivation period
Anyone who can defeat them will be wiped out. Developing naval technology is undoubtedly a foolish choice.
Therefore, there are only merchant ships in the world of cultivation, not warships.
However, in the waters of offshore islands, since high-level cultivators cannot break through the formation of thousands of miles of smoke, the importance of the mortal fleet becomes more and more prominent.
Zhongzhou is the center of Kyushu's ocean trade, and Haiya Chamber of Commerce is Zhongzhou's leading maritime trade force. When it comes to shipbuilding technology, Haiya Chamber of Commerce is definitely the best in Kyushu.
In comparison, the outlying island area is sparsely populated, and its total population is even lower than that of the Haiya area. All kinds of civilian technologies are quite backward. In front of the ocean-going merchant ships of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, the small ships made by mortals on the outlying island are undoubtedly like
It's as fragile and ridiculous as a sampan.
Although Tian Beixi also has armed merchant ships from Huoyun State, Huoyun State is ten times further away from the outlying islands than Haiya City. If a fleet of the same size is sent, even if the outlying islands can be conquered in the end, the cost will not be worth the loss.
Therefore, both in terms of fleet tonnage and overall combat effectiveness, the fleet under her command is far inferior to that of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce.
At present, the coalition forces on the outlying islands have been frightened out of their wits. Even if they took the initiative to expose the flaw of a mid-crossing attack, these local warlords on the outlying islands did not dare to take the initiative to attack and made up their minds to act like cowards.
An army with this kind of fighting spirit is nothing to worry about even if they don't take action. The Haiya Fleet coming all the way from Zhongzhou is already the last substantial threat to the outlying islands!
