Ice Sea Lord: Starting with Intelligence Update

Escape? Where can I escape to?

All around was the frozen ocean, with countless bloodthirsty sea beasts swimming on the thin ice.

A desperate fight is wishful thinking; the enemy has turrets with extremely long range, and they may already be within firing range...

With just one shot, the Azure's armor, as thin as a cicada's wing, would be shattered in an instant.

He Feng experienced true despair for the first time.

But we can't panic now; memories are flashing through our minds like slides.

He recalled the White Raven City armed boat that had escaped from them earlier, which was traveling in the opposite direction from their route.

Now, however, the Azure Ship has collided head-on with White Raven City.

It was impossible to bypass the Blue to send a message across the treacherous ice.

Moreover, the Azure had been sailing on the sea for quite some time, and with their fuel running low and the weather turning bad, they could only follow behind the Azure.

This is an indisputable fact.

The near-Tier 2 fortress has not yet unlocked remote communication technology and can only conduct short-range communication within the fortress, which still relies on the fortress's own capabilities.

Even if the other side had malicious intent, wouldn't they have opened fire long ago?

Furthermore, the intelligence system did not issue any warnings, indicating that the trip was not an extremely dangerous situation.

He couldn't run away, nor could he be afraid. He tried to calm himself down and find a way out of his seemingly hopeless situation.

As a newly established fortress, the Azure Ship is undoubtedly separated from White Raven City by a huge gap in strength.

To engage in battle now would surely result in a devastating defeat, akin to being struck by a lower dimension.

He took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"If we can't run away, then we'll have to negotiate."

He wanted to turn out a complete act of plunder into at least a fair transaction.

Once I calmed myself down, my thoughts gradually became clearer.

Having thought of this, He Feng no longer hesitated and gave the order almost instantly.

Some burdens need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

"Everyone from White Raven City, get on the armed boats right now, without exception! This is not a warning, this is an order!"

"We'll ride as far as we can!"

"Anyone who disobeys will be executed on the spot!"

He Feng's tone was extremely serious, and the message was relayed to every corner of the ship, subtly conveying an extremely dangerous signal.

The Azure has encountered an unprecedentedly formidable foe!

The loudspeakers on the ship were turned up to the maximum volume, while the refugees at their workstations were busy at work.

This warning stunned them.

The enemy has become so powerful that the Azure is unable to cope. In the Sandy Sea, only their former master possesses such terrifying dominance.

Only White Crow City possesses this!

A sense of pride quietly rises within them, but at the same time, the fear of betrayal also arises.

Guess what the White Raven will do to the defectors?

When the whole city was in danger, instead of contributing to their hometown, they dared to leave the city.

You're asking for it!

Being a close-range artillery observer is considered relatively mild.

The refugees were covered in a fine layer of sweat, their bodies responding swiftly under the influence of fear.

They rushed toward the exit like a line of fish, fleeing hastily toward several small boats.

He Feng then spoke into the microphone and issued orders to Lin Mo and the others.

"Lin Mo, you take most of the brothers and lead these refugees to those two small boats. Keep a close watch on them."

"If neither the Azure nor I can escape, then you take these people to the location I've marked for you."

"If they dare to do anything, I'll allow it," He Feng said earnestly.

"With me here, they won't dare to make any rash moves." Lin Mo on the other end sensed the anxiety in He Feng's heart and sincerely assured him.

"But boss, if they did anything to you just now, I, Lin Mo, will make them pay with their blood!" Lin Mo gritted his teeth and said fiercely to the nearest communication channel.

He Feng shook his head helplessly, thinking that this good kid couldn't think of anything good about him.

Most of the personnel boarded the ship one by one, and once everyone was on board, the small boat sped off in the opposite direction.

The remaining crew members of the Azure, who were responsible for maintaining the ship's operation, remained steadfast in their posts, saying nothing, which created a solemn atmosphere on the entire ship.

Inside the control room, He Feng's index finger hovered quietly over the whistle button, then he resolutely pressed it three times.

The valve opened, followed by three thunderous whistles that shattered the clouds.

The whistle broke through the wind and snow, its drawn-out tone sounding like a pleading, ingratiating cry.

He Feng held his breath and peered through the observation window at the other party's increasingly massive figure.

no respond.

The distance between the two was still increasing, and the outline of White Raven City could now be seen.

Take a closer look.

Its size was more than three times that of the Azure, even larger than any other giant ship he had ever seen, and it had various industrial-style decorations.

But it is far more planned than his wasteland and wrecked ships.

The tower above resembled the eye of an owl, its cannon barrels nimbly adjusting their angles, seemingly aimed precisely at his brow.

The entire fortress resembles a steel wall stretching across an icy sea, its coldness revealing an almost insulating metallic texture.

He Feng's expression was solemn as he continued to press the button rhythmically, creating a repetitive triplet.

He used his own heartbeat as a timer, estimating the distance between them, one second, two seconds, three seconds.

He was engaged in a psychological battle with that almost man-eating monster all by himself.

The intelligence remained unchanged, and the death countdown hovered before his eyes like floaters, glaring and malevolent.

If the enemy remains arrogant and refuses to give us a way out, then we might as well hold back and fight a bigger battle.

Since you won't let me live, then I'll ram into you and give you a good beating. At the very least, I'll use my broken body to inflict some damage on you.

After about 40 seconds, White Raven City finally responded.

The two are already very close.

The third tone, a simple and quick third tone.

But it reached his ears like heavenly music, how beautiful it was.

At the same time, the permanent intelligence in He Feng's eyes was suddenly refreshed!

[Standing Intelligence (Additional): White Raven City needs a large amount of resources to prepare for its fortress upgrade. If you can provide what it wants, it may offer a more generous reward.]

[Standing intelligence: White Raven City will officially advance to Tier 2 in 40 days, and they have decided to execute their annihilation plan...]

Upon seeing this, He Feng slumped into his chair, cold sweat still pouring down his forehead.

After catching my breath, my extremely tense nerves unconsciously relaxed.

"Everyone, we are safe now."

He got up and spoke into the loudspeaker, looking as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

Then the cheers from the entire fortress formed a captivating wave of sound, deafening, like the sound of a rubber band being released after being stretched taut.

Inside the viewing window, a small boat, White Raven City, was launched from the side and rapidly approached the Azure like a rabbit.

"This is probably their envoy."

As He Feng pondered silently, the gloom on his face vanished.

Now that the connection has been established, it is necessary to begin analyzing the other party's intentions.

With the help of a lot of intelligence, He Feng's thinking also became more active.

From a more practical standpoint, although White Raven City is the most powerful fortress in the Sandy Sea, it is still difficult to hold out on its own.

Although the mining speed of each new resource point is several times that of their ordinary Tier 1 fortress, the time and manpower costs consumed in its development are still immeasurable.

Therefore, the White Raven needs accomplices, foolish ghosts who "voluntarily" dedicate themselves to the White Raven.

Therefore, we cannot break off relations now; we must fatten them up before slaughtering them, and we can still plunder resources under the guise of trade.

They've won so many times they're practically ecstatic.

Thinking about it this way, He Feng could understand the other side somewhat.

He Feng smacked his lips, unable to help but admire the other party's clever calculation.

When it comes to being a morally bankrupt person, the older generation knows it all too well.

The key information about advancing within 40 days still exists.

He Feng was not surprised at all, but a sense of unease rose in his heart.

In any case, this time was far too short.

According to what he knew from the captain's manual, each upgrade of the fortress required astronomical amounts of resources.

Building an upgradeable fortress in 40 days is no easier than stealing a ship with bare hands.

I fear the biggest threat may not be just White Raven City.
