Ice Sea Lord: Starting with Intelligence Update

After all the supplies and items were sorted out, the Azure Ship's stalls mainly sold monster meat and imitation machined parts.

100 pounds of soil adds up to a considerable amount of revenue.

Meanwhile, the horn of the Arc Lizard that He Feng had been searching for was also found by him on other fortresses.

The stall owner was honest enough to only raise the price by half, bringing the total to 50 pounds of soil.

Graphene can be adhered to graphite from tape produced by machine tools; it's simple, unpretentious, and quite effective.

In this way, all the materials for the anti-field shield were gathered.

He Feng arrived at the material inlet inside the machine tool, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Now he has everything he needs.

All the materials were put in and shaped amidst the shrill hum of the machines.

Another sudden burst of white light appeared, and after several hours of waiting, a jagged metal rod of flowing lightning was revealed inside the box.

[Anti-Stance Shield]

[First-Tier Technology]

[Can consume insulating magnets to defend against attacks from metal weapons. Can defend 3 times per day, after which cooling is required.]

After installing it on top of the Azure, He Feng felt a little more confident.

Three times means three chances to turn the tide.

If the current insulating magnets are divided according to the prescribed shape, there are roughly 70 pieces, and each replacement only requires 3 pieces.

In addition, the Blackrock recommended several familiar fortresses as temporary allies for this operation.

However, He Feng did not generously distribute the walkie-talkies to these fortresses this time.

Using only the relay network provided by White Raven City for communication has the downside of being constantly monitored.

He simply couldn't trust people he'd only met by chance.

Blackrock wisely kept this a secret from the other fortresses.

As expected of a seasoned fox, they could still discern the hidden meaning in He Feng's words.

A cacophony of static erupted from the microphone in the Azure's control room. After He Feng typed the corresponding channel number into a brass typewriter, several voices suddenly came through, gradually becoming clearer.

[Raging Waves (male voice): Old Black, why are you being so proactive this time, bringing us all in on your own initiative?]

[White Wolf (female voice): This time, don't hide behind us again. This time, I demand that your Black Rock take the lead.]

[Black Rock: Definitely, definitely! Oh, the Azure crew's brothers have connected to the microphone too! This is the Azure crew I've been talking about, one of the rising stars I've always mentioned.]

[Azure Ship: Hello everyone, I am He Feng, the lord of Azure Ship]

This was followed by a brief pause.

[Raging Waves (laughing): Good, good, good! I've long heard about your feat of escaping from White Raven City. You young people are truly formidable!]

【Raging Waves: I am Hailan, the lord of the Raging Waves】

[White Wolf (narrating in a cold tone): Lord Red Tiger]

[Black Rock: Then I don't need to say anything more. Everyone, please send your location information so we can keep an eye on each other when there are many people around.]

As soon as he finished speaking, three flashing red dots appeared on the map on the white screen in front of He Feng, which were the approximate locations of the other fortresses.

He Feng hesitated for a moment, then gave a fake coordinate for the Azure.

[Black Rock: Alright, after we meet up later, let's team up if we can. We'll...]

A loud broadcast, loud enough to drown out all other sounds, blared across the entire sea area near White Raven City.

The deafening sound made the steel fortress swaying on the icy sea hum, and an irrepressible fervor arose in everyone's heart.

"The monster swarm event will begin in ten minutes. All fortresses, please prepare..."

The announcer mechanically repeated his words, his voice numb yet clear, so that even the members of Yanwei could hear him.

[Raging Waves: I think it's best to prepare now; we can discuss things further later.]

[White Wolf: I think Hailan is right. Plans can't keep up with changes. We can wait and see.]

[Black Rock (voice sounding somewhat wistful): Let's leave it at that then. I'll ask Brother He Feng for his opinion later.]

At this point, only Blackstone's voice remained in the transmitter.

"A bunch of old foxes."

He Feng shook his head helplessly, then coughed lightly towards the loudspeaker.

In an instant, the entire channel went completely and abruptly shut down, as if the lights had been turned off.

He Feng gripped the still-sounding walkie-talkie tightly in his hand, waiting patiently.

"Brother He Feng, please excuse my poor appearance."

"It's alright. It seems they all have their concerns and none of them intend to join."

"Brother He Feng, my Black Rock is now outnumbered and outgunned, and you are the only fortress I can rely on." Black Rock said in an affected, tearful voice that was rather nauseating.

"Keep in touch, it's going to be a tough battle later."

Unfold the solar panel of the walkie-talkie in your hand and let it soak up the faint sunlight once again.

At this moment, all the connections between the fortresses were severed, and the battle lines between them were stretched so long that the maximum range of a first-tier cannon could almost be measured.

He Feng gazed at the numerous fortresses that seemed like strangers, their postures suggesting a confrontation.

Then take a deep breath and try to keep your mind focused.

……

After a brief pause, White Raven City roared once more.

Like an unstoppable general, it stood at the head of the group, heading towards an icy sea shrouded in white mist.

The numerous fortresses surrounding it at the very front present a different picture, covered in all sorts of weapons and armor, as dazzling as a female lead on a theatrical stage.

The locations of the other fortresses were also carefully considered, like a recursive sequence, as they continuously removed their equipment, not daring to show even the slightest greed to snatch food from a tiger's mouth.

The Azure maintained a reasonable distance, gradually slowed its speed, and stabilized itself in the last batch of ships.

This also demonstrates the ecological niche in this hunt.

The islands in the monster clusters spawn irregularly, but still exhibit a normal distribution characteristic.

In layman's terms, they mostly spawn on the main roads leading to White Raven City, but are also scattered in other areas.

Those in front can eat their fill, while those behind can fight tooth and nail over a few scraps of meat.

However, He Feng's true intentions were not what they seemed; he had other plans after agreeing to condescend to the occasion.

Before setting off, he had Sanqi refine the intelligence again, which yielded more information about the second-tier monster island.

The second-tier monster island will spawn in the remote northwest corner of the belly of the Misty Sea.

The spawned monster is a Tier 2 monster – the Flame Mantis, which possesses a powerful high-heat slashing effect that can melt steel plates several centimeters thick in an instant, making it extremely threatening to the fortress made entirely of metal.

Furthermore, its outer shell is exceptionally tough, making it impossible for ordinary Tier 1 weapons to inflict effective damage on it.

But all these threats were cleverly avoided by the Azure.

The Azure has a Tier 1 City Module enchanted cannon that can create ultra-low temperature cold fog, making armor penetration a piece of cake.

The unbreakable shield met its natural enemy, the spear that could defeat it; this is the source of He Feng's confidence to take risks.

Therefore, He Feng should keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly, preferably by disappearing into the crowd.
