Chapter 222: Sky Island Clearing Plan

This island, controlled by Ji Lin, is completely covered by natural green fields. In one month, the brown wooden buildings on the island are expanding and growing rapidly. If you look down from the sky, you can see that the defense camp suddenly appears like a large, medium and small colony, and then expands.

Outside the coverage of the system outpost, all construction depends on our hands, and we use our hands to slowly build one fortification after another.

The system will still provide us with blueprints, and even build building material packages containing all building materials for us near the outpost, but the transcendent assistance construction speed and power will no longer exist. The people can take the building material packages containing the components in the blueprint out of the outpost range to build the corresponding buildings step by step.

Leaving the primary outpost within a radius of 500 meters, we can only rely on our hands to build the corresponding blueprint bit by bit.

We have successfully deployed the outpost near the micro-ore vein. The small floating ore vein only relies on the people to bring building materials to build the musket tower used by the musket shooters.

Due to the limited transportation efficiency and the inability to rely on the system to obtain extremely fast building construction, the new defense plan no longer has wooden walls, which are units with poor defense effects.

It is a node defense composed of multiple musket towers that interact with each other.

The threats from the front that we need to face are no longer great at this time. When Ji Lin returned to the territory to handle official business, the last task assigned to Chang Heng was to ensure the safety of the staff of the sky island and ensure that the island can be operated safely.

To achieve this goal, Chang Heng organized the elimination of native wild animals in the forest on this small sky island many times, and adopted the method of "building a strong camp and fighting a dull battle" to advance from the forest to the inside little by little.

Don't be reckless and don't underestimate the enemy.

Like a steadily advancing city wall, not giving the slightest chance.

The musketeers stood on the outskirts of the forest, armed with guns and on guard, and the scattered scout spiders blocked the front of the line. After the spiders died, as long as there were still quotas for recall in the month, they could also be used to revive the scout spiders, a combat consumable. No matter what tempted them in the forest, they would not go deep into it.

The grassroots were educated to regard the scout spiders as "friendly war dogs", and every officer in charge of dispatching knew very well that kindness was not good for the army - they were also excellent consumables.

The woodcutters and collectors took advantage of this time to pack away all the trees, shrubs, and plants taller than their calves in the area they controlled. When it got dark, the team retreated, and only a very low bush and weeds were left in the area they were responsible for.

As for the plants taken away by the pack, the ones that can be grown alive and are edible are planted in the newly developed farmland of the outpost. See if they can reproduce themselves and survive. As for the other magical plants, they are also transplanted into the farmland. We may need them one day.

‘Farmland (abundant elemental energy/abundant magic)’

‘You can plant most of the plant crops that only grow in special environments and have a high demand for energy in the environment.’

‘It is a very good piece of soil, but it is not easy to grow crops on it for a long time.’

Ordinary wood is cut into firewood, transported back to the outpost and hung in the market.

Every time we push inward, the space where dangerous creatures on this island can hide is reduced.

Although this method is not a one-shot strategy, it is the most suitable tactic for us to take steady steps.

There are a total of 100 garrison soldiers stationed here, but only 140 soldiers can be deployed permanently and 1,500 scout hunting spiders lying in the sun... After they arrived here, they ate more than in the territory.

Even if they were fed the same quota of food as in the territory, these scout hunting spiders were still getting fatter. I don't know where they went to dig for food.

Every day, they gnawed away a little bit of the forest area on the island, and did not enter the forest to actively fight.

No matter what is hidden in the forest, after gradually losing the cover of the forest, in the open battle zone, that is the advantage range of the musketeers and grenadiers.

Distance is our biggest advantage.

This island is not big, so we can advance steadily by changing the local ecology.

As for why we don't use more efficient flames... it's naturally too eye-catching. Once a forest fire starts to spread, it will burn for several days, and everyone will see a column of billowing black smoke moving in the clouds.

Moreover, the rare resources, forestry resources, rare plants, and materials from magic plants and magic creatures in the forest will be burned at the same time. This fire will burn the wealth of the entire territory.

Changheng suddenly remembered what the lord said to him every day: 'Setting fire to the mountain will cost you a lifetime in prison'

Looking at the forest in front of him, which has been compressed to only one-fourth of its original size from the watchtower, Changheng was in a good mood and felt that he could hand in a qualified answer sheet for the clearing task to the lord.

Our collection team members no longer need to risk their lives to collect rare plants growing naturally on the grass near the edge of the forest.

For outsiders like us, forests represent danger, and the hard-to-detect areas in large tracts of forest represent extreme danger. No one knows how many dangerous creatures are mixed behind the trees. If we don't pay attention, the creatures will instantly send soldiers and workers to recall status.

I saw a small white cotton ball on the ground, and it was soft when I held it in my hand.

"General Chang, this is a wind-riding dandelion, and it should be in bloom now." A scholar among the adventurers stood beside me and explained to Chang Heng.

"The leaves and tender stems of this plant can be eaten and planted."

Dandelions are special in this world. Since the islands are far apart, the plants between different islands have naturally evolved a variety of strange ways of sowing, in addition to being carried to another island by small flying creatures such as floating rays.

They carry light seeds with leaves like wings, and they also hang seeds on other creatures by hooks. They also make themselves delicious to attract other flying creatures to eat, and sow seeds with seeds left in excrement.

This super fluffy dandelion is a type of dandelion with a fully opened fluffy hair layer as wide as a palm. They will rise high into the sky with the wind and drift to another island bit by bit with the wind.

No one knows how these dandelions can accurately reach two islands so far apart.

They take root, sprout, and then bear their own fruits in the next season, opening their fluffy balls and flying in the wind.
