Ice Sea Lord: Starting with Intelligence Update

A cold wind blew blew across the calm sea, and the pale, weak sunrise added to the desolation of this world.

Suddenly, a beam of light, far brighter than sunlight, shot up and burst forth with a color far more azure than the sky.

It pierces straight through the clouds, attracting attention and boldly marking its position.

People in Heilonggang Bay stood on the deck, crowding around and discussing the amazing man-made landscape before them.

He Feng sat cross-legged in his seat, gazing through the porthole at this thrilling scene.

This signals the official start of the monster swarm hunting event.

This will be a grand event in the sandy sea area.

He Feng closed the book on the table, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Holding the signal scepter given to them by White Raven City, they quickly changed into their lord's wartime uniform.

Efficient, unpretentious, and capable of killing Tyson with a single punch—that's what a lord should be like.

In the battles to come, the Azure will face not only monsters spreading like a tidal wave, but also its ruthless colleagues.

The Azure had already conducted extensive training for this operation.

Ordinary crew members are equipped with locally modified replicas of Tier 1 Golden Crow rifles, thus avoiding any weaknesses in their combat capabilities.

Not only do they have a dedicated evolutionary combat reserve team, but they also have a variety of weapons with full firepower.

Ten Tier 1 precision-forged steel Cancer-type machine guns, each equipped with at least a thousand rounds of Tier 1 ammunition, capable of handling close-range combat.

The naval gun has undergone a series of optimizations, now featuring a dual-rail muzzle, representing a significant upgrade.

There are still large chunks of the frost core inside that haven't been consumed, enough to support the enchantment of hundreds of cannonballs.

Moreover, with the oil production line operating at full capacity, a large number of long-range petrol bombs were produced, giving the Blue Ocean an additional option besides black powder shells.

Finally, there were dozens of ordinary cannons used to conceal their weaknesses. Although their accuracy was much higher than before, they were still no match for Tier 1 cannons and could only be used for close-range bombardment.

Moreover, the Azure now burns higher-quality heavy fuel oil, and its thermal conversion efficiency is significantly higher than that of other fortresses.

Even if they encounter danger, they can slip away quickly.

With everything in place, He Feng should be full of confidence.

There's no need for the White Dove to get involved. First, they're not qualified for this operation, and second, the White Dove is more of a burden than a liability.

It's better to let them stay here and continue to develop.

After handing over the tasks at hand to Zhou Haiping, He Feng gathered most of the crew, more than 50 people, almost all of them.

The location of the beam of light was quite a distance from the Azure. Using a crude sextant, it could be estimated that the two were about two or three hundred kilometers apart.

Throughout the journey, the Azure's boilers were boiling vigorously, making the Azure's large chimneys resemble an old smoker. The pungent smoke and dust produced by the billowing smoke covered the Azure with a layer of coal ash.

Along the way, He Feng saw many rafting fortresses, but they were generally divided into two categories.

One type of ship radiates outwards from the location of the beam, its equipment mostly in a state of disrepair.

Another type is the desperados like the Azure, who all have some powerful support.

It boasts a stylish battering ram on the bow, large-caliber cannons that are in no way inferior to those of the Azure-class naval guns, steam-powered harpoons, and even a separate boiler for power.

He Feng saw a dazzling array of items.

They are all formidable figures in this sea area.

They all sharpened their guns and spears, hoping to take a big bite out of this grand event.

This unexpected operation brought together the previously estranged drifting fortresses, creating a rare and harmonious coexistence in the Arctic Ocean.

He Feng stood alone on the lookout tower, gazing at the wind. He was filled with mixed feelings, and it was impossible for him not to be excited.

This battle is fraught with unpredictability, but the potential gains are enormous.

But you should be more careful not to become the dish on the dinner table.

After a short while, the fortress's operator suddenly disturbed the peace.

"My lord, someone wants to establish a close connection with our fortress."

He Feng paused, his gaze narrowing.

"Take it, I'll handle the communication myself."

After a brief period of static, a very familiar, frivolous male voice came through.

"Hey! Brother He Feng, I didn't expect to see you here. I've really had a lot to do these days!"

"Brother Blackstone, I can still recognize your voice even when I'm buried."

With the sea shrouded in snow, finding a fortress was no easy task.

He peered behind the fortress and saw a sneaky-looking fortress using the Azure as cover, as if it were acknowledging someone as its leader.

"This direction leads to White Crow City. What are you doing here? Take my advice, you shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess," He Feng advised.

"I didn't expect that even Brother He Feng doesn't believe in the strength of my Black Rock." The man opposite him took a deep drag on his pipe, his tone smug.

"Brother He Feng, I'm not going to pretend with the Black Rock anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table."

"My Blackrock has Tier 1 technology—the Explosive Combustion Boiler. You've never heard of it, have you?"

He Feng immediately became interested and asked enthusiastically, "Tell me more about it?"

"Brother He, you've come to the right place," Black Stone said smugly.

"I dare say that no one in the entire frozen sea can match the energy efficiency of this boiler. As long as it is running at full power, I can break a piece of coal in two."

"My Black Rock is like a stinky, hard rock in a toilet. If you chase it, you'll get nothing, waste fuel, and get all sorts of trouble. Trying to race us is just asking for trouble."

Black Stone laughed heartily, openly displaying the strength of his fortress to He Feng.

Suppressing his barely suppressed laughter, He Feng was speechless at this interpretation.

The fact that Blackstone was so open and honest with him proves that the other party is a loyal person, so there's no need to be wary.

After careful consideration, He Feng decided it was necessary to let him know the dangers of this operation.

"This might avoid attracting the attention of many competitors, but what if the bookmaker has other ideas? What then?"

"The Blackrock Brothers should know that during every monster pack hunt, some fortresses always mysteriously sink, and many of them are quite powerful fortresses."

He Feng's tone suddenly became serious, and the change in tone gave off a sense of crisis, which made Hei Shi's skin crawl.

"Don't scare me, buddy! The weather looks kind of scary today, so please don't tell me ghost stories!"

"What if I said that White Raven City didn't care about the meager profits from the monster horde, and that our targets were you and me?"

"No... that's impossible. They're all landlords with huge fortunes. They wouldn't possibly covet us poor folks."

"What if the other side never cares about our resources, but rather about 'people'?"

No one spoke on the communication line; a cold, deathly silence descended.

This shocking conclusion instantly killed the game.

Black Stone took another long drag on his pipe over the communicator, his previously exaggerated tone softening as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Brother He, please elaborate. I trust you, Black Rock."
