Ice Sea Lord: Starting with Intelligence Update

We wait patiently for peace and tranquility, and patiently await the disturbances from our enemies.

He Feng's mind was now entirely focused on analyzing the pros and cons of the upcoming negotiations.

Now it's not just about what the Azure can offer the other side, but also what the Azure can gain from White Raven City.

Given the gap in development levels, information asymmetry can easily lead people to suffer in silence without realizing it.

On the icy sea, strength reigns supreme; therefore, understanding the opponent's intentions is the key to maximizing one's gains.

Currently, the Azure Ship has about 10 tons of surplus pig iron reserves, but these tiny bits certainly won't even have a chance to be served.

The Azure Ship has a considerable reserve of high-grade food, including Tier 1 food Snowflake Fruit and an astonishing amount of monster meat, all of which are highly coveted by these fortresses.

If the other side tries to force their way in, don't blame him for turning them all to ashes.

The lights of the small boat inside the observation window grew brighter as it glided across the crisp ice, leaving a serpentine trail.

"It's time to get up and greet them." He Feng stretched his limbs, put on his sea monster coat, and turned to open the negative pressure cabin door.

A petite figure was huddled at the doorway, which puzzled He Feng.

"Snowdrift or what?" He Feng kicked it in the blink of an eye, breaking through the snow covering his body. Immediately, a woman's voice groaned, "Ouch, it hurts!"

After shaking off the snowflakes, it became clear that it was Lin Qingqing, who had not left with the crowd.

She stood up almost like a drowned rat, with bandages still wrapped around half of her face.

"Lin Qingqing? What are you doing here!" He Feng was full of surprise, his face reflecting confusion and bewilderment.

"I... want to do something for my allies." Her voice was barely audible.

"I heard White Raven City sound its horn for you, so everyone is safe now!" Lin Qingqing forced a smile, but she still couldn't hide the hint of ferocity on her face.

"So you're just going to stay here and wait for me?"

He Feng shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless at the woman's naiveté.

"They're desperate to find you. You're suspected of being a suicide mission, do you know that?" He Feng questioned, and then quickly led the person into the cabin.

He took off his fur coat to cover the girl's thin body and handed her a cup of hot water to warm her up.

"Tell me, are you going to turn yourself in or should I take you there?" He Feng asked in a deep voice, rubbing his forehead.

"I'm sorry, I know my actions of doing this without making it public are disgusting, but this is my last chance to go home."

The girl's fingers, blue with cold, gripped the water glass tightly. Her voice was choked with emotion, but she immediately continued to explain, her tone rising in pitch.

"This is not a confession, and I have never given up the idea of ​​revenge."

"So what are you doing?" He Feng asked, puzzled.

"I know White Raven City better than any of you. If you take me with you, at least... at least I can guarantee you won't suffer any major losses!"

"How are you going to help? By pretending to be a fugitive?" He Feng chuckled.

Lin Qingqing silently removed the bandages from her face, which peeled off slowly like an onion.

The bandages were removed, revealing half of the face that was completely disfigured.

Blood blisters and redness, half of his face was contorted and covered with burn marks from high-temperature steam.

Her once flawless face now appeared shriveled, marked with fiery red bruises. The burn marks were etched at an angle around Lin Qingqing's left eye socket, a sight that would make anyone wince in pain.

This is at least a third-degree burn.

"That way, I'll be fine," Lin Qingqing said, grimacing. The pain almost made her gasp for breath.

"That's ruthless." He Feng couldn't help but admire the girl in front of him.

Because of Lin Qingqing's previous lack of honesty, he was somewhat biased, but that has nothing to do with right or wrong. If it were He Feng, he would probably have done the same.

As a reclusive young lady, he always thought that Lin Qingqing couldn't muster that ruthless streak.

Only by being ruthless can one survive in this frozen land.

Now that the other party has made its stance clear, it has proven that it can be a qualified ally.

He Feng's face showed his approval.

"I've said it before, I'll do anything for revenge!" Lin Qingqing's face was twisted in pain as she clenched her teeth, making a sharp, cracking sound as she bit down.

"So, am I qualified to cooperate with you?" Lin Qingqing looked at He Feng almost pleadingly.

He Feng remained silent and took out an object from a hidden compartment inside the cabin.

"Take this; it will be good for your injuries."

He Feng snatched Lin Qingqing's right hand and stuffed a transparent fruit that was glowing with light into his palm.

"This is—a Snow Crystal Fruit, it's too precious, I can't accept it!" Lin Qingqing said awkwardly, quickly declining the offer.

"Take it! (Red Thunder Sound)"

Lin Qingqing was completely bewildered and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

He Feng gathered up the girl's jet-black hair, picked up a long nail as a hairpin, and used his already clumsy hairstyling skills to fix her messy hairstyle.

"It's pretty, she looks like Zhong Wuyan," He Feng teased.

"Eat one slice first. This will ensure you recover at the slowest possible pace. I don't want you to recover too quickly."

After swallowing the sweet fruit, her festering skin turned into dark bluish-black spots. Whether or not it was covered by bandages, it would be hard to imagine that this was the daughter of the White Raven City Lord who was on the run.

Lin Qingqing's eyes glistened with tears. She remained silent, but the tears seemed to burst forth like a broken dam.

"Boss, the other side has arrived." A crew member's voice came from the communication channel.

He Feng responded, his gaze fixed on the point of light that was docked at the bow of the Azure Ship.

The small boat's lights flashed a few times, signaling the Azure to follow behind.

He Feng didn't dare to delay and quickly pulled the power lever.

"First gear, depress the clutch."

He Feng silently recited the formula from the textbook and urged the horse on, mimicking its movements.

The massive ship turned gracefully, slowly following behind the small boat, striving to maintain the distance between them.

Since the envoy was leading the way, the several forts in White Raven City all moved their firing lines at the same time, allowing the Azure to drive straight in.

Every now and then you can see other fortresses receding into the distance, like a flock of geese that regroups and then goes their separate ways.

Just as he thought, Bai Yacheng didn't want to overturn the table yet.

After following for more than ten minutes, He Feng finally saw the true face of this colossal city through the viewing window.

The densely packed buildings were stacked on top of each other, like a cluster of insect nests. Huge metal arms extended from both sides of the ship, which were fishing and hunting platforms and resource collectors. The huge landing nets exposed made He Feng almost believe that this thing could scoop up a whale.

He finally understood why a Tier 2 fortress wouldn't call itself a ship; goodness, it was a steel city that shouldn't exist on the sea.
