Ice Sea Lord: Starting with Intelligence Update

"Get yourselves ready! Do you know who I am? I'm the city defense officer of the Azure!"

Zhou Haiping strutted around arrogantly atop the steel tower of the oil field, his nose practically pointing to the sky.

After saying that, he took out a crumpled letter of appointment from his pocket and even framed it.

"See that? Zhou Haiping has been specially approved to serve as the 'City Defense Officer' on the Azure, with the name He Feng on his part."

The workers looked at each other in disbelief. After examining the handwriting, they had to admit that it was indeed He Feng's style.

The grass grows to the sky; after all, it's unique to see it rotting like this.

"Zhou Haiping, where did you get such good fortune to get the lord to assign you this kind of work? You're not just trying to fool the lord, are you?"

"How dare you, a mere commoner, address me by my name! I'll let it go this time, but from now on, you must call me Commander Zhou, understand?"

Zhou Haiping retorted smugly, his voice smug as he countered.

The surrounding workers exchanged helpless glances, their hearts filled with resentment.

"Last night I observed the celestial phenomena and foresaw that a monster tide would arrive as soon as it got dark tomorrow," Zhou Haiping said in a deep voice.

"This is a mark of authority personally acknowledged by the lord. From now on, you must obey my commands. Do you all understand?"

Zhou Haiping swaggered through the crowd like a dragon returning home in glory, eager to make everyone see the iron certificate in his hand.

Envy and jealousy spread through the crowd, almost coalescing into a fire that threatened to engulf him.

Does this guy even deserve it?

Many disgruntled people whispered among themselves, criticizing the city defense official who was unworthy of his position.

"Damn, how did this guy manage to get such a high-ranking position? Does our lord just like these pretty boys?"

"Foolish! Is our lord that kind of person? Perhaps this guy really does possess some kind of predictive talent, and our lord has taken a liking to him?"

"Is there any chance for us to rise to the top?" A worker scratched his head, his growing greed making him incredibly envious of Zhou Haiping at this moment.

"Since our lord has made this exception, doesn't that mean everyone will have this opportunity in the future? The best days might be yet to come!"

The workers' discussion grew increasingly heated, until they were so engrossed in their conversation that they seemed to have already written their own names on the appointment letter without realizing it.

Zhou Haiping had no power or influence, and wasn't even part of He Feng's personal guard faction.

It's amazing that it can climb so high.

Whether they were refugees from White Raven City or former slaves, they all had a new longing in their hearts.

If they work a little harder and perform a little better, providing more value to the Blue Ocean, perhaps one day they too can reach such a high position!

Greed spreads like wildfire, igniting a fire of desire in everyone's heart.

A soldier who doesn't want to become a general is not a good soldier. He Feng's move undoubtedly set a sufficiently specific goal for everyone on the Azure.

Zhou Haiping coughed a few times, and under He Feng's imposing presence, the scene immediately quieted down, leaving only the howling of the wind sweeping through the valley.

He nodded smugly, then took out a defense map, his smile incorporating into his speech.

He described his newfound ease and pride after his promotion in great detail, as if painting a picture of a pie within reach, seemingly within arm's reach.

He uttered PUA rhetoric without any formal instruction, and used his own promotion as an example to construct an incredibly realistic dream of turning his life around.

After the exhilarating speech, the entire audience was swept up in an invisible frenzy, and this excitement needed an outlet.

They also want to succeed.

"Commander Zhou, how can we, like you, gain the lord's favor?"

One of the workers below raised his hand and asked in a gesture of worship.

"It's very simple. As long as you work hard enough, the Azure will never let down any member who has made a contribution. After this battle, the Lord will reward everyone who has made a significant contribution."

"Isn't it a blessing to dedicate oneself to the Azure?"

After speaking, Zhou Haiping's guarantee set an example for everyone.

The excited crowd was inspired and eagerly threw themselves into their work.

Countless scrap steel bars on the steel tower, like branches pruned by a gardener, were all cut off by a burst of electric sparks from a gas welding torch, then sharpened and welded again to form a sharp, spiked wall.

The clanging and banging sounds also rose and fell as the parts transported from the Azure were assembled one by one.

Several gleaming flamethrowers, pulled by a thick pipe, supported by a pressure vessel, could instantly unleash a sea of ​​fire capable of covering a radius of 50 meters.

The machine guns originally belonging to the Azure were also taken down, serving as the most terrifying outlet of firepower and their proud reliance in this battle.

Everyone was as if they had been injected with chicken blood, disregarding their physical exhaustion. It was not a struggle in the face of life and death, but an extreme thirst for achievement.

The Azure's cannons serve as its last resort; once fired, they will surely signal the end of the battle.

He Feng stood on the deck of the Azure Ship, gazing at the crowd with his hands behind his back, his heart filled with unspoken satisfaction.

If it can maintain this passion, it's not impossible that the Azure could one day become a Tier 2 fortress.

"Brother He Feng, we're all ready." Lin Mo followed closely behind, surrounded by seven or eight combat readiness members, all exuding the aura of evolved beings.

The quality of the equipment they wore was pushed to the limit.

A Tier 1 tough leather armor, a replica of an ordinary rifle, and even goggles to prevent snow blindness hanging around the neck.

They exuded a murderous aura, resembling an unparalleled regular military unit in the apocalypse.

They were He Feng's elite force, and they obeyed only He Feng's orders.

If you've considered decentralization, you must first have the ability to hold power.

Although the Azure is now on the right track, he is somewhat unable to carry the ship alone.

He can never take care of everything, so the rest naturally needs someone like Zhou Haiping to share the burden.

The powerful team under He Feng's command is the source of his confidence to delegate power.

"Whom do you pledge allegiance to?" He Feng asked, glancing at the young-looking team members, his probing voice tinged with a hint of anger.

"We pledge allegiance to Lord He Feng of the Azure, and strictly adhere to the Five Disciplines, ready to obey the Lord's commands and always prepared to shed blood for the Azure."

The loud sound penetrated the eardrums, clean and without a trace of dragging.

Victory never favors the unprepared, and an army needs sufficient discipline—a fact He Feng was well aware of.

He waved his hand, glanced at the crowd standing upright, and nodded in approval.

"You are all the most elite soldiers of the Azure, and every action you take represents the will of the Azure. Now I declare!"

"The exploration mission for the nameless fortress has officially begun!"

"Disband!"
