The scale of the fleet that the Aksu Empire sent to Golden Island was known by almost everyone. This was because there were countless eyes on the continent. The ships that the Aksu Empire sent to Golden Island didn't only have crew and combat personnel, there were also a lot of craftsmen. Their main purpose was to build a naval base.
The people on the five hundred warships, the craftsmen, and the coolies added up to a few hundred thousand people. A few hundred thousand people? How could it turn into a few hundred thousand undead? Moreover, it was done by Zhao Hai. If he wasn't a devil, then who was?
Even if there were people in the continent who killed hundreds of thousands of people, they would still be soft-hearted. However, Zhao Hai didn't even bat an eye. Turning hundreds of thousands of people into undead was more vicious than killing hundreds of thousands of people.
After being shocked by Zhao Hai's decision, these people were even more shocked by Zhao Hai's strength. A single person could turn hundreds of thousands of people into undead. What kind of person was this? To what extent was his strength? All of these made Zhao Hai seem to be shrouded in a mysterious veil.
The biggest hobby of the continent was to remove these layers of veils. It wasn't just out of curiosity, but also for their own sake. The strength and means that Zhao Hai had displayed were too frightening.
When the people of the continent began to investigate Zhao Hai, they discovered that Zhao Hai was actually a terrifying existence. For the past eighteen years, he was a standard low-level playboy. He relied on his family's influence to run amok. He was an ignorant and incompetent playboy. Generally, people called him a low-level playboy.
But when he drank the Water of Nothingness and was sent to a place where people deliberately avoided him, he underwent a qualitative change. A few months later, he changed his name to Zhao Hai and appeared in the continent.
As soon as he came out, he received the Immortal Mercenary Group, which was a headache for everyone on the continent. Then he peacefully did his own business, but in the end, he became enemies with the Light Church and the Markey Dell family. After killing a group of people, he fled to the prairie.
When he came out of the Prairie, he changed his appearance and went to Rosen Empire. Grand Duke Lionheart fell because of him, his entire family was massacred. Then he went against the Calci Family and forced them to admit defeat. After that, he saved the Purcell Duchy and obtained 100 thousand Undead. At the same time, he also showed his 10 thousand Beastman Undead. After that, he went on to exterminate the Robert Family. What caught people's attention the most was his methods. He killed all the members of the Robert Family, not leaving a single one alive. Moreover, he also turned them into Undead. Then came the hundreds of thousands of people from the Aksu Empire.
Now, the number of undead in Zhao Hai's hands was already close to a million! Nearly a million high-level undead creatures? What kind of strength was this? Not to mention ordinary clans, even millennium-old clans and Great Empires wouldn't dare to offend him.
If it was before, people wouldn't care. Even if Zhao Hai was strong, he still wasn't a 9th rank expert. The Buda Clan also didn't have a 9th rank expert, they would still be able to force him back to the Black Wasteland. But now, they heard that Zhao Hai had a 9th rank expert in his hands. Additionally, he was now the son-in-law of the Calci Family, an eternal ally of the Crook Family. In this case, if anyone in the continent dared to offend Zhao Hai, then they would only have their heads smashed by the door.
Since Zhao Hai arrived at Golden Island, all the powers in the continent lost their voices. Even the Aksu Empire didn't make any noise.
Then Zhao Hai immediately made a statement that Golden Island would become the continent's first free port. Anyone who came here to do business, regardless of their status, as long as they paid taxes and didn't cause any trouble, they would be allowed to do business on the island. Also, no fighting was allowed within a thousand li of Golden Island. Anyone who dared to fight within a thousand li of Golden Island would be killed!
If this statement was made by Zhao Hai before, then no one would believe it. But now, it was different. Nobody in the continent dared to ignore this statement.
Strength determined everything, and Zhao Hai had great strength. Therefore, even if he made a statement filled with killing intent, nobody would oppose it. This was because these people knew that the Buda Clan had the strength to do so.
More than 500 warships, and all of them were Undead. The Buda Clan could indeed prevent any fighting within a thousand li of Golden Island.
After Zhao Hai made this statement, the Aksu Empire also made a statement. This statement was very intriguing, "Count Zhao Hai Buda has made great contributions to the Aksu Empire. Therefore, Count Zhao Hai Buda has been bestowed with the title of Third Rank Noble. Golden Island will be the Buda Clan's fief, hereditary."
This statement was very interesting. Everyone knew about the relationship between the Buda Clan and the Aksu Empire. It can be said that this statement was a statement that the Aksu Empire had admitted defeat.
This made the people of the continent very confused. They didn't understand why the Aksu Empire would suddenly admit defeat. They should have sent 9th ranks to deal with Zhao Hai.
It didn't take long for the news to spread. It turned out that the Aksu Empire had already sent their 9th ranks to deal with Zhao Hai. However, the five 9th ranks that were sent to Golden Island didn't return. Therefore, the Aksu Empire had no choice but to give in.
Although this news wasn't confirmed, a lot of people in the continent believed that it was true. This was because they knew that if the Aksu Empire didn't send 9th ranks to Golden Island, then they wouldn't have admitted defeat so easily.
But no matter what the reason was, when the Aksu Empire made this statement, the ownership of Golden Island was officially decided. From now on, Golden Island would belong to the Buda Clan.
After this matter was settled, people began to pay attention to something else. It was Zhao Hai's statement about Golden Island becoming a Free Port.
Free Port, this was the first time that this phrase appeared in the continent. However, the Nobles weren't fools, they immediately understood what this Free Port was for.
This Free Port gave the pirates a place to openly sell their loot. This was very attractive, but at this time, nobody went to Golden Island to trade. This was because they were still afraid. After all, hundreds of thousands of people had died there. It would be strange if they weren't afraid.
Zhao Hai had already expected this reaction from the outsiders. He didn't worry about it, he was currently inspecting Golden Island.
Although Zhao Hai had seen the entirety of Golden Island on the screen, he still felt that it was very different. Zhao Hai knew why there were so many pirates occupying Golden Island. It was because the island had been severely damaged by the people who mined the gold mines.
The entire Golden Island looked like an apple that had been eaten by insects. There were small holes all over the island. The people who mined gold were completely different from the Dwarven mines in Iron Mountain.
The Dwarven Iron Mountain didn't have a lot of entrances and exits. If there wasn't a lake in the mountains, then Zhao Hai was almost certain that Iron Mountain was a mountain city. However, Golden Island was different. There were a lot of mines here, so many that Zhao Hai couldn't count them all. He had Cai 'er count them and found out that there were more than 20 thousand large and small mines on the island.
Because of the existence of more than 20 thousand mines, the small Golden Island looked like it was filled with thousands of scars. Although this was the case, it was still a matter of more than a thousand years ago. Now, the vegetation on the island had already recovered. But because the damage was too severe, even though the vegetation had recovered, there weren't any tall trees on the island. At most, there were some weeds.
The entire Golden Island had a total of two mountains. The two mountains were arranged in the shape of a T on the island. However, these two mountains were filled with mines that had been severely damaged.
However, the people who mined the mines had some brains. Although the mines weren't connected, they still built roads on the mountains. Because the rocks on the mountains were very hard, the roads could still be used even after so many years.
Zhao Hai looked at the caves on the island. Some of them had traces of people living here while some of them didn't. What made Zhao Hai puzzled was that he didn't see any magic beasts on the island.
Although Zhao Hai felt that this was strange, he didn't think too much about it. Besides the mines, there was also the naval base built by the Aksu Empire. Zhao Hai looked at the naval base and saw that it wasn't small. There were about a thousand mines that were used as resting places. There was also the largest pier on the island. The surrounding area was also surrounded by stone walls. It wouldn't be a problem for tens of thousands of people to live in the base.
The base was built at the foot of the mountain, in a cave on the T-shaped mountain. Because of the help of the Mages and some craftsmen, the construction of the base was very standard. Zhao Hai decided to keep the base. The undead of the Aksu Empire also didn't return to the island. Zhao Hai had them stay on the island.
In the future, Golden Island would become a free port. However, the island also had its own rules. The undead were left on the island to maintain order.
Besides the undead, Zhao Hai also released a large number of sea magic beasts around the island. These sea magic beasts were to guard the island as well as monitor the movements around the island.
To be honest, Zhao Hai didn't care too much about Golden Island. It was just a place for him to make money. When it comes to the environment, Zhao Hai liked Ape Island more. The weather there was much better compared to Golden Island.
Zhao Hai decided that he would live in the military base in the future. Then he would transfer some people from Iron Mountain Fort to manage the island. Everything would be handled by the undead.
What Zhao Hai wanted to do at this time was to repair the roads on the island. Then he would be able to officially open the island.
