595: Chapter 331: Sudden Change_2 595: Chapter 331: Sudden Change_2 Based on the strength of the Vermilion Bird, even if Zhou Tian has already unified the current continent, he still has no hope of winning against the bird.
After all, the continent Zhou Tian resides in, albeit large, is not one of the main continents in this world.
Without sufficient territory to support, Zhou Tian is far from being a top-tier monster at this point.
Thus, Zhou Tian temporarily let go of those NPCs, as for now, he was more interested in the progress of the craftsn under his command.
Zhou Tian has already unified the continent he resides on.
Therefore, if Zhou Tian wishes to continue growing, he needs to gain territory from other areas to support this growth.
Given the circumstances of the world at that ti, Zhou Tian could only construct sea ships for outward expansion.
With a whole continent as a support, as long as Zhou Tian’s craftsn reach that standard, there should be no problem in building a fleet of sea ships.
The current hindrance to Zhou Tian’s expansion speed is because most of his craftsn are still novices.
However, after moving useful and otherwise items such as crossbows and war chariots to this world, those craftsn under his command have reaped significant benefits.
Even though they have not been craftsn for a long ti, they have developed so abilities under Zhou Tian’s urging.
Although their standard was still lacking, and they couldn’t yet construct the kind of sea ship Zhou Tian used, fabricating a ship capable of sailing the oceans was no longer a problem for these craftsn.
Zhou Tian believes that their shipbuilding skills would continue to improve in the process of continuously crafting sea ships.
Even without Zhou Tian’s help, a large number of shipbuilding masters could erge in his team in the future.
However, at this point, the number of craftsn under Zhou Tian’s command is limited.
With their manpower, it is possible to construct sea ships, but it would be a little too much if they were to dispatch a large force directly.
If the Vermilion Bird had not appeared, Zhou Tian would have certainly taken this ti to deal with those NPCs and only expanded outward once the entire continent had been unified and conditions were ripe.
However, due to the threat of the Vermilion Bird, Zhou Tian could no longer expand slowly in the sa manner.
Now, Zhou Tian values efficiency.
He intends to strengthen his power to the point of standing his ground against the bird before it moves on him.
Hence, to prevent himself from being killed by the Vermilion Bird, Zhou Tian will spend every single minute and second expanding his territory.
Given the circumstances, Zhou Tian has no choice but to instigate a war of invasion ahead of schedule.
Although he did not have much contact with the outside world, Zhou Tian did have significant gains when he journeyed back then.
Since he was solely focused on returning, Zhou Tian decided not to take any action.
However, now that Zhou Tian had set out again, his previous experiences converted into valuable gains.
Initially, Zhou Tian explored to find magic crystals.
Regardless of his reasons, Zhou Tian got a good grasp of the sea line on his way back.
On the seemingly worthless small islands, Zhou discovered no less than ten thousand.
Ten thousand islands might sound like a lot, but the bigger ones were only a few hundred thousand square ters, and the smallest ones were just a few square ters.
Since these islands did not produce magic crystals, they were of little use to Zhou Tian at that ti.
However, when Zhou Tian looks back now, those islands have beco significant gains.
Tens of thousands of islands!
Even if the sizes of these islands varied, a single island would amount to several square ters which, when added up, totals to tens of thousands of square ters of land area.
Not to ntion that when the actual surface areas of these islands are added up, the total figure will definitely exceed that value.
Can’t say for certain, but if Zhou Tian was to occupy all the discovered islands, his territory could increase by at least tens of millions of square ters.
Tens of millions of square ters of territory is not big, but on the continent, it would be enough to create a Pope-level monster.
The islands Zhou Tian found weren’t the only small islands along the sea lines.
If he was willing to put a little more effort into that area, Zhou Tian wouldn’t have to invest much to increase his territory by hundreds of thousands of square kiloters.
Furthermore, those small islands are just a ‘side dish’ for Zhou Tian.
He can simply deploy so small monsters to occupy those places.
What truly helps Zhou Tian are the original continent he visited and the land mass he discovered later.
The first continent doesn’t need much discussion as just one corner has given rise to two King-level forces.
Even if it’s not a mainland, its area is believed to be one of the largest continents in this world.
The difference between that continent and the one Zhou Tian currently resides in, could be likened to comparing Hainan Island to the Eurasian Continent.
Although they are both lands, the gap between the two is not small.
