I travel through thousands of worlds at the same time

Now, Li Mo is qualified to report and meet with the head of the Shifangchuan family. What's more, he has just led hundreds of warriors out of the city to fight for the first time. If the head of the Shifangchuan family had not experienced watching the battles on the city wall several times and had confidence in Li Mo taking his men to practice on the city wall before going into battle, he would have probably observed on the city wall first, and arranged his confidants to watch the battle like now, and passed the news of victory directly to the castle tower, which made the head of the Shifangchuan family very happy.

Faced with the brutal Kabane, many survivors of Japan chose to be cowards, and even some daimyos tightly defended their own castles. However, the head of the Shifangchuan family could not deceive himself. He had long wanted to eliminate the Kabane around Xianjin Station, but he was powerless and even barely able to protect himself before. However, the appearance of Li Mo made the head of the Shifangchuan family feel that he seemed to see the hope of victory.

Therefore, Li Mo now has the qualification to apply for an audience at any time. Few people in Xianjinyi have this qualification, and they are all elders and important officials of the Sifangchuan family. It can be seen that the head of the Sifangchuan family attaches great importance to Li Mo!

"Mr. Mo, you have won a great victory for the first time. It's worth celebrating!"

Looking at Li Mo sitting in front of him, the head of Sifangchuan family expressed his sincere admiration. He even felt sorry in his heart why the other party was not his own legitimate son, otherwise the Sifangchuan family would surely grow stronger and might even compete for the general's throne. However, the head of Sifangchuan family also had other ideas. He felt that he could use another roundabout way to keep this talented person in the Sifangchuan family.

Of course, the head of the Sifangchuan family is not using any unconventional means. The method he thinks of is very Japanese. However, he has not yet persuaded the other party. And this matter also depends on Li Mo's performance, such as waiting until the port of Xianjinyi is recovered!

"Lord City Lord, this time we are dealing with more than a hundred Kabane. Even with two Thieves leading them, they are not too powerful enemies."

Li Mo, who still didn't know what the head of the Sifangchuan family was thinking, really explained his feelings about the previous battle. He was quite satisfied with the situation of this battle, and also pointed out the current shortcomings: "However, a small-scale attack is fine. We can try to clear the Kabane around Xianjinyi. However, if we are going to recapture the port and the affiliated salt fields, we will definitely encounter thousands or even tens of thousands of Kabane..."

Li Mo thought it was normal for the previous victory in the small-scale battle. Hundreds of Kabane were a threat to any fortress, but they were not an invincible enemy. Unless the Kabane suddenly invaded the fortress and caused a large-scale infection, a well-prepared fortress would be able to clear out the few Kabane that rushed in.

Xianjinyi has the same problem as other castles, that is, they are not facing scattered Kabane. The surviving humans in Japan are all gathered in those castles or islands, resulting in those Kabane being more or less gathered in the surrounding areas. It is not an occasional [Juncheng] that will attract and disperse the surrounding Kabane clusters. I am afraid that there would have been a lively scene similar to monsters attacking the city a long time ago.

As for Xianjin Station, Li Mo has arranged more than a dozen people with the fusion of [Black Shadow Seed] to guard the transportation hub of the city to prevent the scene in the original plot where the [Juncheng] that had been captured by the Kabane suddenly broke through. However, if Xianjin Station wants to fight out and restore the port and salt field, then the Kabane around it cannot be avoided. The scattered Kabane can still be cleaned up on a small scale, but Li Mo cannot take people away from a farther distance, otherwise it will be bad if they are trapped in the siege of the Kabane.

Even if Li Mo was sure of his escape, if he were to besiege by more than four-digit Kabane, coupled with special individuals like the Technique Thieves and Black Smoke, the ordinary samurai he led would surely be doomed. And if the troops he led were completely wiped out, even though Li Mo had enough reasons to defend himself, it would be a luxury for him to have enough reputation in Xianjinyi or even control the city.

Therefore, Li Mo really cared about Xianjin Station. He couldn't let those warriors suffer too much loss, and he had to find a way to take over the port of Xianjin Station. The necessary battle plan had to be carefully considered, and he had to prepare for the situations of plan failure and plan success.

"Well, Mr. Mo, your concerns are reasonable. Let's do some training first!"

The head of the Shifangchuan family was very satisfied with Li Mo's cautious answer. He also knew how terrifying a large number of Kabane were. The fact that the other party was not carried away by a small-scale victory was a big plus for the head of the Shifangchuan family.

After all, stories of generals who were blinded by early victories, who pursued the victory and then suffered a disastrous defeat were common in the Neon Warring States Period. The head of the Shigao River family had witnessed a major incident ten years ago, in which the former major general Amatori Mima was said to have advanced rashly and ended up being besieged by a large number of Kabane, resulting in the demise of 400,000 troops in one fell swoop, leading to the current situation.

As for Li Mo, he had won several consecutive victories but had not been carried away by them. He was observing the threat posed by Kabane very steadily. This was a very good advantage for the head of the Shifangchuan family. He did not have to worry about the other party making a rash move and suffering a disastrous defeat!

……

[Next, we will try our best to hone those warriors. We can look for the saltpeter needed for equipment in other castles. We can also study the matter of the villain boss Amatori Mima and the general at Kongo Station. We can also study things like the Kabane virus. I remember that Amatori Mima has made some achievements in this regard...]

Later, Li Mo left the castle tower of Xianjin Station, nodding to the warriors around him as he walked, while thinking quickly about his plan in his mind, expanding his goals to other aspects, especially the villain Boss in the original plot.

Without saying anything else, Li Mo felt that if he wanted to control Xianjin Station and develop it, he would have to deal with Amano Mima and the general of Kongo Station. The former was a psychopath who wanted to destroy everyone in Neon, while the latter was willing to give up even his own son and 400,000 troops for the sake of his own power and status. It can be foreseen that he would definitely regard his own power and status as the most important things. If Xianjin Station developed and expanded, it would definitely arouse his hostility.

——The Shogunate era in Neon was actually a process in which a daimyo who had the upper hand in terms of righteousness and strength went to Kyoto, then divided and suppressed other daimyo, and was later transformed by the establishment of a country by Westerners during the Industrial Revolution. The situation in the world of Kabutosho was even more complicated. The shogun and many daimyo who occupied Kongo Station wanted to let Kabane threaten ordinary people, and they would confine ordinary people in castles to become the superior ones. Other daimyo might not be so sensitive to the changes in Kongo Station, but the shogun would definitely notice the changes in its strength.

As for the psychopath and the power monster, Li Mo thought that he did not have such good eloquence or personal charm to make these two destined enemies change their attitudes, so his decision was very simple. He planned to use the [Seed of Black Shadow] to infiltrate both parties first and obtain the other party's intelligence, especially the research materials related to Kabane. His main energy was still placed on Xianjinyi, preparing to give priority to improving the power he possessed.

After all, all disputes are resolved with strength. Li Mo has not yet fully mastered Xianjin Station. As for forces like King Kong Station and Tianniao Mima, they are not his first target yet!

Chapter 24: Dispatching troops to the port (New book, please collect it~!)

Li Mo decided on his own preset plan and then implemented it with full action!

As for Amatori Mima and Kongō Station, Li Mo pieced together general intelligence information about the two through occasional inquiries from the head of the Shifangchuan family and conversations with those samurai, and then made targeted arrangements accordingly.

The situation in Kongo Station is the most detailed. As a powerful animal, the Shogun will never give up the control over other castles. The operation of the most critical power mechanisms and railways in [Juncheng] is the means by which Kongo Station controls other castles. In addition, there are several castles with ports that are directly under Kongo Station or belong to the daimyo who are close to the Shogun. Therefore, the Shogun still has the highest power in the open, and most of the other castles still obey him verbally.

Why do most of the fortresses only obey King Kong Station verbally?

As for this question, seeing that the Karifu group led by Amatori Mima were still able to occasionally stop at a certain castle to replenish the various supplies they needed, we can know that the ruling power of the contemporary Shogun was actually not as strong as he expected.

Even though Amatori Mima had the title of the general's son, if the daimyos really didn't buy it, Amatori Mima and the Karikata people would have been defeated due to the depletion of personnel and supplies. Even though they were first-class human elites and had individual combat capabilities like Kabaneri who were not afraid of Kabane infection, they were still facing the Kabane who had an absolute advantage in numbers. If one died, one less, and there was no replenishment, they would have been overwhelmed by the huge number of Kabane, not to mention the weapons and equipment and various other supplies they needed.

In Li Mo's opinion, Japan has had contact with the outside world, otherwise there would not have been sniper rifles using metal shells at Haimen Station a few years before the movie, and the weapons used by the hunters also clearly have the style of the outside world, which shows that Japan actually maintains a certain degree of communication and trade with the outside world. This is also the main reason why Xianjin Station did not have too many doubts when Li Mo used the excuse of shipwreck victims.

When Li Mo used the method of side-knocking, he obtained a lot of information that allowed him to confirm Amano Mima and the hunting party, as well as some details of Kongo Station.

For example, Amatori Mima and the Karikata clan were constantly promoting themselves, claiming that they were warriors fighting against Kabane, in order to attract those survivors who had suffered from Kabane to join them, and also to allow some castles that were not on good terms with the Shogun to tacitly allow them to stop and replenish supplies. Naturally, there were also rumors about Xianjin Station.

In response to this, Li Mo arranged a Kabane stealing technique that was fused with the [Black Shadow Seed]. He hid multiple [Black Shadow Seeds] on its body and headed towards the area where the Karas were active recently, preparing to obtain accurate information about Amatori Mima and the Karas. If they wanted to know the results of their research on Kabane and a lot of inside information, they would need to arrange personnel to go in to find out, and he could afford to wait for this time and consumption.

As for Kongō Station, there is not much information inside of it, but from some information told by the head of the Shifangchuan family, it seems that it is very wary of the outside world. Without the permission of the Shogun, other [Juncheng] cannot enter it at all.

Not to mention Li Mo's arrangements for the two camps that were destined to be hostile, Xianjinyi's research on the steel membrane peeled off from Kabane's inner core allowed him to produce a batch of weapons with these special steel membranes as raw materials. For example, the samurai swords and rifle bayonets covered with steel membranes have greatly improved their sharpness. The core components of the steam guns produced with it as raw materials have enhanced the lethality of the steam guns equipped with jet bullets, which can successfully break Kabane's inner core at a distance of two hundred meters.

Just based on this point, Li Mo and other insiders listed the steel membrane as an important material, as if rewarding the original male protagonist Ikoma who served as a tool man, and letting him use it to develop a new type of ammunition specifically for steam guns.

In addition, Li Mo started to study Kabane in private. As he was not a research genius, he did not produce any useful results, but he was sure that his [Shadow Power] could help resist the Kabane virus. For example, when he went out to try it in private, he could use [Shadow Power] to instantly clear the Kabane within a radius of 100 meters, and instantly drain the virus from Kabane and turn it into a corpse completely.

This kind of discovery is good news for Li Mo. At least he doesn't have to worry about being infected with the virus and becoming a Kabane after being bitten by a Kabane. He now has a trump card to deal with big things like [Black Smoke]. However, research on the Kabane virus is meaningless. He still has to rely on the stealing Kabane he sent out to find the hunters and obtain research results, and arrange for people to go to Kongo Station to plant a few spies as a hidden means of prevention.

In addition to this series of preparations and discoveries, Li Mo also asked the head of the Sifangchuan family to use his connections to purchase important materials such as saltpeter from other cities. While keeping an eye on the production process of the steam factory, he began to train his troops.

It has to be said that the idea of ​​regaining the port and expanding Xianjin Station is quite tempting for the head of the Shigao River family. In addition, the Shigao River family is also a famous family in Japan. They have branches and even high-level officials in Kongo Station. They also have several daimyos from other cities as close allies. Even if other daimyos are not very familiar with the Shigao River family, it is very easy to ask them to help with small matters.

Because of this, Li Mo obtained more than 500 kilograms of natural saltpeter in just one month. And with the full support of the head of the Sifangchuan family, Xianjinyi has already expanded to a new army consisting of more than 2,000 soldiers.

Compared with the previous ones, the new army has samurai in the minority and ordinary soldiers in the majority, but their combat effectiveness is far superior to the previous army composed of samurai. Finding that they can kill the Kabane that they feared before, the morale of the new army in Xianjin Station is extremely high. From time to time, under the leadership of Li Mo, they clean up the Kabane around Xianjin Station. In one month, they have cleared out more than tens of thousands of Kabane.

This is undoubtedly an astonishing number. Not every Kabane's heart core is brought back as a trophy. If the heart cores with obvious characteristics cannot be faked, even the head of the Shigao River family would think that this is a lie.

However, so many Kabane were indeed cleared, with no more than ten deaths. Even the few soldiers bitten by Kabane were cured by Li Mo. His status in Xianjinyi rose sharply, and he was already showing a trend of surpassing the head of Sifangchuan family. Under such circumstances, Li Mo made a decision with the head of Sifangchuan family and began to prepare to retake the port less than 50 kilometers away from Xianjinyi.

Retaking the port is easy to say, but it is extremely complicated in practice. The most critical thing is how to recapture the port and build the city wall under the attack of Kabane. Otherwise, even if the port is recaptured by chance, it will most likely be taken away by the gathered Kabane, and even the soldiers will become Kabane.

Fortunately, Li Mo is not in the era of cold weapons now, and Neon in the world of Kabutosen has entered the era of steam industry. The plan to conquer the port was proposed in advance and carefully considered. The steel exterior wall components built in advance were transported by [Juncheng], and quickly unloaded and assembled into the first simple line of defense. Based on this, it continued to extend outward until it was finally closed, and the final reinforcement and height increase became the final solution. The task that the new army of Xianjinyi had to undertake was to clear out the Kabane found before that and protect the passage between Xianjinyi and the port to be completed smoothly.

If it was before Li Mo traveled through time, Xianjin Station in the world of Kabutsujo would obviously not be able to achieve this goal. It was not difficult for them to make some steel plate walls that required no technical skills. However, due to the limited number of soldiers in Xianjin Station and the fact that ordinary steam rifles could not cause substantial damage to Kabane, the matter of expanding the city and recovering the port was put on hold indefinitely.

This time, Li Mo, with two thousand new troops who had been formed for a month and a large number of new weapons and equipment, began to launch a counterattack against the Kabane outside Xianjin Station amid the expectation and wait-and-see eyes of everyone in Xianjin Station!

Chapter 25: The Victory of Humanity! (New book, please collect it~)

"Team 1, fire! Snipers fire on their own, riflemen wait for the enemy to enter meters before firing, and artillery and shotguns fire when the enemy enters meters!"

“Bang bang——————Puchi!”

"roar!!!"……

In the hilly area 20 kilometers away from Xianjinyi, the lightly armed new army quickly built simple fortifications with barbed wire and iron-wood fences. Then, under the leadership of officers and non-commissioned officers who were promoted for their outstanding performance, hundreds of new troops serving as the vanguard quickly formed a battle line and began to shoot and kill the Kabane that appeared.

It has to be said that Li Mo, based on the situation in the world of the Iron Fortress, quickly established a temporary small camp at a distance of one kilometer, and continuously dispersed the transportation of materials sent by [Juncheng], forming a rigid strategy similar to advancing step by step, instead of considering any drama such as a violent assault, and even any tactics such as flanking and infiltrating were not carried out. It was clearly a tactic of "building a strong camp and fighting a stupid battle".

It’s not that Li Mo believes in Zeng Zhitou’s so-called fortress tactics, but the situation in the world of Kabutosen is completely different from the war situation in the present world before he crossed over. If he blindly applies some so-called advanced infantry tactics, he will die miserably.

At least, the Kabane of the Iron Fortress have no morale or organization. When they smell human blood or hear some noise, they will be immediately attracted and rush up madly. The tactic of rushing forward and decapitation will not be effective at all. Going around from behind will not shake the combat effectiveness of the Kabane. Instead, it is easy to fall into the encirclement of the Kabane.

Especially Kabane have no fear of death at all. No matter how many casualties there are, they will rush towards their targets madly. Even humans who are injured or bitten to death by them will become Kabane. The humans who were previously helpless with steam guns were naturally forced to retreat to the stronghold. Now, Xianjin Station where Li Mo is staying has a population of just over 30,000. The total population of Neon is expected to exceed two million if it is blessed by gods and Buddhas. Naturally, he does not want the new army under his command to suffer heavy casualties. Not only will that lead to low morale of the new army and even the entire Xianjin Station, but it is also difficult to replenish the population.

Compared to what Li Mo was thinking, the vanguard troops of the new army did not think so much. They were fully focused on facing the hundreds of Kabane. Dozens of snipers were hunting in groups of three from a distance, giving priority to shooting those thieves who posed the greatest threat. Then, when the Kabane rushed into a range of 100 meters, the soldiers holding the enhanced version of the steam guns quickly opened fire, aiming at the head and heart core of the Kabane. The occasional Kabane who rushed close were hit by the tiger squat cannon and shotgun, and were directly blown away and then concentrated by the rifles of the new army. They could not threaten the defense line formed by the vanguard troops at all.

At least, a few hundred Kabane would not be a headache for the vanguard troops who had experienced several actual combats. They spent nearly an hour to completely eliminate the hundreds of Kabane that had gathered together and cleaned up the battlefield at the same time!

"Order! The vanguard troops should take a break. We should first eliminate those scattered Kabane. Don't let them form an absolute numerical advantage!"

Li Mo confirmed through the falcon flying in the sky that had integrated the [Black Shadow Seed] that the vanguard troops had eliminated the largest group of Kabane here. He gave the order to rest without hesitation and prepared to eliminate the scattered Kabane first.

No matter from which perspective, the new army has an advantage over scattered Kabane, but when it comes to large-scale Kabane clusters, it is hard to say who will win if the new army, whose firepower is not yet at the level of a first battle, does not have the final say. Li Mo, who will not take charge of everything, naturally wants to give full play to the current advantages of the new army and eliminate those scattered Kabane layer by layer like peeling an onion. Kabane that cannot form a numerical advantage cannot pose much threat to the new army of Xianjinyi.

Of course, the reason why Li Mo dared to arrange the battle in this way was that the Kabane really had no IQ. With high-altitude reconnaissance and proper deployment, he felt that his side could at least eliminate those scattered Kabane!

……

A few days later, after clearing out tens of thousands of Kabane that were attracted along the way, the new army finally arrived at the port of the former Shigao River family's territory. Then they found that there were more than five thousand Kabane in the port and the surrounding areas, which were attracted and rushed over frantically.

It has to be said that the scene of thousands of Kabane charging frantically was extremely spectacular. Even though the twelve Napoleon cannons kept firing hot shells, they only caused a little obstruction to those Kabane. When the cluster of Kabane rushed into the range of 600 meters, Li Mo was alone with a Type 38 rifle for long-range blocking, and several people around him loaded the ammunition for the Type 38 rifle and handed it over. Even though they cleared out dozens of Kabane species, they were completely unable to stop the charge of the Kabane cluster.

However, when the Kabane rushed into the range of 400 meters, the pre-nailed steel tripwires became obstacles. The charge of Kabane, who did not pay any attention to what was under his feet, became a futile effort. The originally aggressive charge was interrupted, allowing the sniper holding the sniper-type Type 38 rifle with a scope to fire more calmly. Moreover, the Napoleon cannon for long-range attacks never stopped firing. When encountering a large group of Kabane, it would fire one shot at them. The flying chain bullets were like a meat grinder in this process, and one shot would bring up dozens of broken limbs and arms.

If it were a human army, having been constantly beaten and unable to fight back, their morale would have collapsed and they would have been routed long ago. However, Kabane fully demonstrated his terrifying madness. If one fell, ten would follow. If one was tripped by a wire lasso, he would step on those unlucky guys and rush forward. Even when facing the baptism of bullets and shells, the Kabane, whose numbers were constantly decreasing, still had no intention of stopping.

Seeing the Kabane charging madly and the heavy breathing of the new army soldiers around him, Li Mo knew why the humans in the world of the Iron Fortress were always afraid of the Kabane outside. This kind of scene was indeed not something that an ordinary army could withstand!

"Riflemen fire!!!"

Although he sighed in his heart, Li Mo did not hesitate at all. The powerful soul power combined with the falcon for sky reconnaissance allowed him to judge that the number of Kabane soldiers had been reduced by more than one third. He then gave orders in a deep voice to the new army soldiers around him.

Bang bang bang——————!

Following Li Mo's order, the new army soldiers instantly raised their steam guns and aimed at the world, and directly opened fire and knocked down a group of Kabane who rushed to a distance of 120 meters. Then they retreated and the second group of new army soldiers opened fire.

At this distance, Kabane is no longer able to stop the jet bullets from the new steam gun. When the high-speed rotating jet bullets instantly hit Kabane's head or body, they will directly smash Kabane's head into pieces. However, the core part of Kabane's body is too conspicuous. The new army soldiers who have fired at least hundreds of rounds of ammunition can still achieve a hit rate of about half at this distance. The remaining jet bullets will also make holes in Kabane's body.

Although Kabane appears to be fearless, the Kabane of the Iron Fortress has not yet reached the level of the T virus or the Blacklight virus. At least ordinary Kabane do not have the ability to quickly recover from limb injuries. If the body is shattered by a jet bullet or the limbs are broken, the Kabane will just become a staggering living target. Even a new recruit can calm down and kill the living target with a steam gun.

What's more, the wire tripwires that Li Mo had people arrange were not just one, but dozens of them in succession, combined with the barbed wire in between, which effectively blocked the Kabane's charge speed. Moreover, the Napoleon cannons were now replaced with special shotgun shells, and one shot was enough to clear out the Kabane within a width of dozens of meters in front of them.

If the Kabane had self-awareness, they would definitely find themselves being slaughtered unilaterally. Most of the thieves who were at the front had already died, and the remaining ordinary Kabane were blocked by obstacles and then harvested. In less than half an hour, more than half of them had been lost. However, they did not rush into the new army formation at all. After the initial deterrence, the new army, which was in the minority, quickly calmed down and threw themselves into the battle, and found that they could continue to kill the enemy by staying where they were. They were just harvesting the Kabane who kept charging with high morale.

Compared to the new army soldiers whose morale was high and who were becoming increasingly excited, Li Mo calmly used falcons to scout the surrounding environment and estimated the amount of ammunition consumed on his side. Then, when he found that the number of Kabane was less than a thousand, he ordered the Napoleon cannon to stop bombarding and laid several steel tripwires and accordion wire netting, allowing the new army to continue shooting the remaining Kabane at close range.

When the last Kabane fell, all the soldiers on the new army's side had been rotated. Riflemen and shotgunners had sweat on their foreheads. Many of the artillerymen were so tired that their hands were weak, but they still cheered loudly!

"Sir! We have won!"

When a samurai who was a middle-level officer saw the last Kabane being killed by several jet bullets and cheered with others, he did not forget to report the good news to his supreme commander, even though his commander also saw the victory scene.

"Well, we won..."

Facing a victory that consumed a lot of ammunition, Li Mo was in a very good mood. He nodded slightly and sighed, then gave an order to the messenger beside him: "Pass the order down, take ten minutes to repair and then clean up the battlefield. By the way, notify the city to quickly send the second batch of supplies. The simple city wall connecting this side must be built as soon as possible. We have captured the port and we must defend it!"

Now, Li Mo’s focus is not on the victory that has been achieved, but on the fact that after this victory, his prestige in Xianjinyi has obviously risen, so he has to consolidate the fruits of victory gained from this victory!

……

"Long live!"

"We won!"

"Woo! That's great..."

When the news of victory reached Xianjin Station, the entire station was in an uproar. Civilians were cheering and even crying everywhere. Even the warriors who were arrogant in the past were now smiling and couldn't help wanting to drink to celebrate.

It should be known that most of the residents of Xianjin Station were samurai and subjects of the Shifangchuan family. Too many of their relatives and friends died in the attacks of Kabane. In the past, staying in Xianjin Station could ensure a general safety. In fact, including those samurai who showed off their power, most people lived a tight life. The civilians had to work hard all day to ensure that they would not starve to death. Even the samurai and their families could barely get enough to eat every day.

It would be a lie to say that everyone in Xianjin Station has no resentment about this situation. Before, Kabane made it impossible to see any hope of victory. Xianjin Station and even other castles were barely surviving by relying on the terrain and city walls. Occasionally, there were people who wanted to fight Kabane, but they were unjustly killed because the steam gun was not powerful enough. Over time, some people were unwilling to face the cruel reality. However, now that the new army has won the victory over Kabane, the civilians and samurai who had been trying their best to support the new army and had many complaints, immediately cheered for the news of victory.

Thanks to the news of victory, the head of the Sifangchuan family sighed in his heart but lost no time to announce that the fishery and foreign trade of the recovered port would be reopened, and everyone would be able to have enough food and obtain goods from the outside world. The news made everyone in Xianjinyi burst into 120% enthusiasm, and they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the high-intensity combat and work. The second batch of supplies were quickly raised and transported to the port through the safety belt formed by the stronghold.

At the same time, the steel wall that carried the hopes of many people was also quickly built. The composite steel plate wall with a height of more than 30 meters was getting longer and longer, and finally extended to the coast, completely surrounding the long-lost port of Xianjinyi!

Chapter 26: The Changing Xian Jinze (New book, please collect and support~!)

Since Xianjinyi successfully recaptured the port, the entire city quickly changed from its previous numbness and dullness to becoming full of vitality and entering the fast lane of development. In just less than three months, outsiders felt that they were not seeing the same city as they had seen before.

With the successful construction of the Iron Wall, the port of Xianjinyi was recaptured. The first thing Li Mo did was to reopen the original salt fields and fisheries. Every day, a large amount of fish and sea salt were delivered to Xianjinyi, or sold cheaply on the spot in various markets within the city of Xianjinyi, or after a brief processing, sent to other surrounding castles through [Juncheng], where they were warmly welcomed.

Even in the present world that Li Mo traveled to, Japan had to recover after the end of World War II, removing a large amount of armaments and taking over part of the industrial capabilities of Europe and the United States, so that it could make profits through industrial products and import a large amount of agricultural products to meet its own needs.

In the world of Kabane of the Iron Fortress, there were occasional famines in Neon before the Kabane's rampage, not to mention when the Kabane was wreaking havoc. Xianjin Station and other castles were barely able to guarantee the supply of food for the resident population through arable land. Even if ordinary civilians found ways to grow crops such as radishes on small plots of land, it was just enough to ensure that they would not starve to death on a daily basis. It was really an absolute luxury to have enough food.

As for meat, seafood and snacks?

Haha, unless you are the Shogun himself staying at Kongō Station, even the daimyo of each castle may not be able to enjoy it at will. If you don’t see the Shifangchuan Acorus, you have to be sneaky if you want to eat a little snack, because it is already a very rare and precious thing.

Li Mo naturally did not have the ability to directly stimulate the growth of crops, but the sea was obviously not contaminated by the Kabane virus. Building steam steel fishing boats or even steam merchant ships was not technically difficult for Xianjinyi. Going out to sea to catch fish became the most convenient and quickest way to supplement protein. The civilians of Xianjinyi could even eat salted fish after a long time. The new army soldiers and ordinary minor officials could afford whale meat or other seafood, so they were naturally also very satisfied.

Especially Xianjinyi obtained various material trades directly from other castles with salted fish, seafood and sea salt. The steam merchant ships sent out even secretly opened up the trade routes between Goryeo and the Ryukyu Islands. Even Japan was able to survive a lot of people with the help of its own preparation and geographical advantages. There were also smart people in Goryeo who fled overseas. For example, Jeju Island became the largest survivor camp in Goryeo. There are even several large islands in the Ryukyu Islands that are still under human control. Those who cannot swim and are not Kabane like the T virus that relies on air transmission naturally have no ability to cross the sea to invade these overseas islands!

The problem is that the humans on those islands can survive, but they need to solve the problem of metal tools, medicines, cotton cloth and other necessities of life. For example, when faced with the rare appearance of steam merchant ships, the human survivors on Jeju Island and the Ryukyu Islands discovered that the other side was equipped with artillery, so they very wisely took out various items for exchange. Xianjinyi obtained specialties such as sugar, livestock and silk from them, which greatly enriched Xianjinyi's own market.

Not only that, the outside information Li Mo obtained allowed him to piece together the general structure of the world of the Iron Fortress, East Asia and even the entire world.

For example, the Kabane in the world of Kabane of the Iron Fortress are not only wreaking havoc all over the world, but the more densely populated an area is, the more likely it is that a Kabane cluster will form. In densely populated places such as the Americas, Europe, and Africa, there are not many humans left, and there are only a small number of human survival camps in inland areas. Just like the Japanese fortress, they rely on natural barriers or city walls to struggle for survival.

At present, most of the Celestial Empire survivors in East Asia are concentrated in the Liaodong Peninsula, Dayuan Island, Qiongzhou Island and Zhoushan Islands. They even retain a certain industrial capacity. Although they cannot catch up with the leading position in the steam age, they are not too far behind. Their merchant ships even have trade relations with some survivor camps in Southeast Asia and India. Although there are not many Celestial Empire merchant ships coming and going on the Japanese side, it is not that there are none at all, but it is a very rare situation. This also made Li Mo understand that the excuse he made before was accidentally in line with the actual situation.

As for European countries and America, Li Mo at most confirmed through the news of King Kong Station that King Kong Station had purchased several batches of arms via the Hawaiian Islands. In addition, there were probably some survivors in the European colonies in Southeast Asia. He didn't know the situation in European countries, but just looking at the situation in Japan, China and America, he knew that the situation in Europe was definitely not optimistic.

Of course, Li Mo paid attention to the news from the outside world to see whether there would be other forces in the world of Kabutekin, but his main energy was still focused on the internal affairs. For example, he was stationed at the port of Xianjinyi and dispatched new troops to continuously clean up the surrounding areas.

Thanks to the victory in the port battle, Li Mo's prestige among the new army and the people of Xianjinyi became extremely high. He mastered the military power and, through actions such as port cleanup, brought part of the profits of port trade under his command. He was not stingy in this regard, and a large amount of resources and money were turned into the accumulation of his own power. With the weapon of [Seed of Black Shadow], he quickly accumulated his own power.

For example, even if Li Mo wanted to attack Xianjinyi now, he had more than a hundred loyal subordinates who had integrated the [Seed of Black Shadow] and controlled at least half of the combat forces of the new army. Even if he launched a rebellion, it would not be a problem. However, he felt that it was not worth it to act rashly. On the Neon side, he could certainly launch a rebellion, but his enemy was not the Shifangchuan family who had not yet shown any hostility. The real enemies that Li Mo had to face were Amatori Mima and Kongoyi who were hiding in the dark.

In contrast, the head of the Sifangchuan family was a little anxious. He knew that the strength and economy of his Xianjinyi had risen significantly in the rankings among the various cities in Neon. However, Li Mo, an outsider, controlled the most important military power of the Sifangchuan family. Some elders had already muttered that they should send people to share power. But the head of the Sifangchuan family, who knew what kind of people those elders were, would not make a rash decision.

However, the head of the Sifangchuan family knew very well in his heart that there should be a clear decision between him and Li Mo, and it happened that he had already convinced his precious daughter, so he asked Li Mo to come to the castle tower for the final discussion!
