With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

Li Kui nodded, not quite understanding what he meant, and his admiration for Lu Yan grew even stronger.

"Xiao Kui, go and call Lu Fei and the others to discuss countermeasures."

Lu Yan brushed off the non-existent dust on his sleeves, with a sneer on his lips.

"The Javanese nation has suffered such a huge loss, they will definitely not let it go."

"We have to prepare early to avoid any setbacks."

Li Kui took the order and left. Soon, Lu Fei, Zhang Xun, Han Sheng and Ye Xiao gathered in the back garden.

Each of them stands tall and straight, full of murderous intent, as if ready to go into battle and kill the enemy at any time.

"Sir, you're looking for us?"

Lu Fei asked with a fist clasped, his eagle eyes gleaming brightly under his thick eyebrows.

"Have you heard about what happened in Java?"

Lu Yan shook the teacup in his hand, and the tea shimmered, reflecting his half-smile.

"I heard about it," Zhang Xun replied in a muffled voice.

"The King of Java is such a fool! How dare he run wild on our territory!"

"That's right! Why don't you ask where our Shannan Prefecture is?"

Victor Han also echoed, his tone full of disdain.

Night Owl was as silent as ever, and just nodded slightly to indicate that he already knew.

"They won't be able to jump around much longer,"

Lu Yan put down the teacup, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"This time, I'm going to let them know what it means to be heartbroken!"

At this moment, Li Kui slapped his thigh and said with a sad face:

"Sir, you are quite frank in saying this, but it seems that we in Shannan Prefecture do not have any navy!"

"If Java really attacks us, won't we just be able to passively take the beating?"

When Li Kui said this, everyone was stunned.

Yes, Shannan Prefecture has all the necessary cavalry, infantry, and musket battalions, except for the navy.

These guys are basically landlubbers, and they would be in trouble if they really started fighting in the water.

That's really like crying out to heaven and earth but getting no response.

What’s even more terrible is that the navy not only needs people, but also ships!

The entire Shannan Prefecture couldn't even muster a decent fishing boat, let alone a warship.

For a moment, everyone began to show off their "water skills".

"Sir, I used to fish in the river when I was a kid. I can barely swim, right?"

Zhang Xun scratched his head and said honestly.

"How can slacking off on fish be considered a water skill? I've swum in the river before!"

Han Sheng looked very proud, as if he was some kind of swimming champion.

"Have you swam? Then can you dive? Can you do the backstroke? Can you do the butterfly stroke?"

"This... this won't happen..."

Victor Han was speechless for a moment, and touched his nose awkwardly.

Night Owl remained silent and just took a step back silently.

It seems like he wants to stay away from this discussion of "water kung fu".

Li Kui had a sad face and said bitterly:

"Hey guys, now's not the time to discuss who can swim!"

"We need to figure out how to form a navy and build ships!"

Only then did everyone realize the seriousness of the problem and fell silent.

You look at me, I look at you, and for a moment the atmosphere is so heavy that it seems like water could drip out.

Lu Yan was overwhelmed by what he heard.

"Alright, alright, stop bragging!"

"One by one, if you don't know, you will be mistaken for white sharks!"

Night Owl had remained silent until now, but now he spoke:

"Sir, I do have someone I can recommend."

"Oh? Who is it?" Lu Yan became interested.

"Tu Rong." Ye Xiao said concisely.

When Lu Yan heard this, his eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh.

"Yeah! How could I have forgotten about him!"

Tu Rong was originally a fierce general of the Javanese State. He was brave and good at fighting, especially proficient in naval battles.

"Quick! Call Tu Rong over here!"

Lu Yan ordered excitedly.

Soon, Tu Rong arrived at the back garden.

He was a tall, dark-skinned man with a short mustache and sharp eyes.

You can tell at first glance that he is a veteran who has been through many battles.

"Tu Rong greets His Excellency!"

Tu Rong knelt on one knee and saluted with his fists clasped.

"Tu Rong, no need to be so polite, get up!"

"Sir, what instructions do you have?" Tu Rong stood up and asked.

Lu Yan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:

"Those bastards from Java are probably going to come for revenge, and this time they'll probably attack from the water."

"You used to be in the Javanese Navy, so you must be very familiar with naval warfare."

"So, I want you to form a navy to prepare for emergencies."

Upon hearing this, Tu Rong agreed without hesitation:

"Don't worry, sir. Tu Rong will do his best to fulfill his mission!"

"Then let me show it to everyone first!"

Lu Yan said, glancing at Tu Rong's muscular physique with a wicked smile.

I was thinking about what would happen if this guy couldn't swim.

Then I have to ridicule him.

Lu Yan stood up and brought Tu Rong and others to the indoor swimming pool he built for himself.

This swimming pool is extremely luxurious and the water is crystal clear.

The surroundings are dotted with exotic flowers and plants, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance.

"This pool is a hundred meters long, swim back and forth!"

Lu Yan pointed at the swimming pool with a hint of provocation in his tone.

"Thank you, sir!"

Tu Rong did not hesitate at all, he knew this was his chance to prove his strength.

Shannan Prefecture is full of talented people. If you want to stand out, you must seize every opportunity.

The people around looked at Tu Rong with doubts in their eyes.

Is this barbarian from Java really that powerful?

Tu Rong ignored everyone's gazes.

After a few minutes of simple warm-up, I took off my outer clothes.

Revealing bronze skin and strong muscles.

He took a deep breath and plunged into the cold pool water.

"Splash!" Water splashed everywhere, and Tu Rong was like an agile shark.

It instantly turned into a water arrow and rushed towards the other end of the swimming pool.

Everyone was stunned. This speed was too fast!

Lu Yan was counting the time silently in his mind and was secretly frightened.

This boy is really an expert swimmer!

At this speed, he can even participate in the Olympics!

In the blink of an eye, Tu Rong arrived at the other end of the swimming pool

With a graceful turn, he returned again.

The doubts in the eyes of people around me gradually disappeared, and were replaced by admiration.

One lap, two laps, three laps...

Tu Rong was like a tireless machine, moving back and forth in the swimming pool.

Lu Yan was a little tired after watching this. This kid, isn't he just a fish?

After swimming twenty laps, Lu Yan called a halt.

Otherwise, Tu Rong would probably be able to continue swimming.

After swimming twenty laps, Tu Rong climbed out of the swimming pool.

Drops of water slid down her bronze skin, sparkling in the sunlight.

The soldiers around were all staring.

Especially the young guys, their faces were full of admiration.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Lu Yan shouted "good" three times in a row, and felt even more satisfied with Tu Rong.

This guy is not only good at swimming, but also has a very strong body. He is simply a natural-born warrior!

"Tu Rong, with your swimming skills, it's a shame not to participate in the Olympics!"

"From now on, you will be the deputy leader of this navy. Do your job well and don't embarrass me!"
