Ice Sea Lord: Starting with Intelligence Update

The initial exploration work is also coming to a close.

He Feng looked at the numerous spoils laid out in front of him and picked out everything that was useful.

A small packet of coriander seeds, a dozen lime seeds found in a pile of rotten seeds, a steam core, and a Tier 1 common technology blueprint.

With so many extras, He Feng felt that his trip hadn't been in vain.

"Boss, that's all there is." Lin Mo saluted He Feng and said crisply.

He Feng looked up at the sun, which was already high in the sky, and estimated that there were about 5 hours left before the monster tide arrived.

He called out to Lin Mo without any hesitation.

"Lin Mo, gather everyone, let's go back now."

The boy nodded vigorously, and before He Feng could stop him, he unleashed his booming voice.

"Everyone assemble! Time to go home!"

The shouts echoed through the sky, even lingering in the valley for a moment, causing He Feng to break out in a fine sweat.

Fortunately, the potential energy of the accumulated snow had been completely dissipated, and the terrifying howling sound of snow was never reproduced.

The group glided smoothly across the snowfield on their skis, leaving white trails like nine shooting stars streaking across the sky.

The previous distance was greatly shortened, and they descended the mountain at a rapid pace.

Before long, the entire team arrived at the foot of the crater unharmed.

He Feng took off his equipment and looked out at the nameless fortress that still stood in the same spot.

He put his two fingers together, his left hand pointing up the mountain and his right hand pointing to the oil field that seemed to be right in front of him.

He Feng had already begun to plan the transportation methods for transporting steel in the future.

Upon comparison, a stark difference in height is evident between the two.

This distance would require enormous resources to travel using only manpower and sleds.

If a cable car station could be built for transportation, it would save a lot of resources and be the most reasonable budget.

If given the opportunity, I must have Ji Chun design a complete plan for him.

In just a few steps, the exploration team arrived at the base camp.

Even though they had been gone for almost a day, the project was still proceeding in an orderly manner and was even nearing completion.

Barriers made of steel bars and spikes covered the surrounding solid ice surface, densely packed like layers of thorns in a country field.

The steel tower was surrounded by steel spikes to slow down the monster's attack speed.

The eight high-pressure muskets and four giant crab-shaped machine guns were also arranged in a clear manner, allowing these monsters to enjoy the taste of being fried and roasted.

He Feng nodded in satisfaction, his approval of the project at its highest level.

Even without monster attacks, this oil field is strong enough to be an impregnable fortress. The unlimited supply of fuel alone will deter anyone with malicious intentions.

He Feng strode over, hands behind his back, and inspected everyone's work with great interest.

Suddenly, a cheerful voice reached his ears.

"My lord! I've missed you so much!"

Zhou Haiping followed eagerly, nodding and smiling as he walked towards He Feng.

"I don't think I've been walking for very long," He Feng shook his head and asked instead.

Zhou Haiping instantly realized he had offended someone, and apologized profusely.

"Oh dear, my lord, it's just that everyone misses you! We all feel so sad when we can't see you!"

He Feng waved his hand, and although he felt very comfortable being patted, he still changed the subject.

"Is everything ready?" He Feng lowered his eyes, glancing at Zhou Haichun out of the corner of his eye.

"My lord, everything is ready, and we are all waiting for your arrival to take charge!"

Zhou Haiping replied with a beaming smile, eager to return the city defense map to He Feng.

He Feng shook his head, a sly look on his face.

"I won't be in charge."

"Then what do you want?" Zhou Haiping looked blank, as if he had been stumped by the question.

"It's the city defense officer who needs to be stationed here." He Feng revealed his true intentions, leaving no room for negotiation in his words.

"My lord... how could I possibly do this?" Zhou Haiping stammered with an awkward laugh, showing no resolute will to fight.

"I have neither strength nor ability. Everything I have was given to me by you, my lord. How can I command a battle?"

"But you know how to manipulate people, and you should know that better than I do," He Feng said, pointing to the many workers working busily around him.

"If I'm not around in the future, you'll need to know how to deal with monster hordes. Some practical experience will be invaluable to you."

"However, I will have the newly trained combat reserve team fight alongside you, so it should be easier. You shouldn't neglect your duties, right?" He Feng looked at the man with a scrutinizing gaze, his face turning as dark as a line.

The conversation had died down, showing no sign of turning things around.

Zhou Haiping lowered his hands, took a deep breath, and then tried to force a proper smile.

Despite his deep sorrow.

"I guarantee this mission will be accomplished!"

He Feng nodded approvingly, then returned to the deck of the Azure without looking back.

Several chairs were placed securely, serving as the prime seats for this exciting fight scene.

The night was gloomy, and a cold wind suddenly descended, spreading chill through the air.

"Are you really going to ignore them?" Lin Qingqing sat upright to the side, her brows furrowed.

"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to remarry. They can't always rely on me." He Feng crossed his legs and warmed his hands in front of the stove.

"But don't worry." He pointed to the gleaming ship's cannons behind him. "They won't really get into trouble."

The girl nodded as if she understood, her pupils darted around, and then she remained silent.

"Look, the show is about to begin." He Feng turned to look at the ice gradually rising from the bottom of the lake and said impatiently.

……

Zhou Haiping gazed at the pitch-black ice surface before him, his gaze penetrating into the depths beyond the reach of the lights.

He was filled with mixed emotions.

He only wanted to be a mere accessory to the lord, but who knew he would actually be assigned a task, and someone would be watching his performance from the sidelines.

Responsibility is generally equivalent to obligation, but his obligation is somewhat costly.

"A monster, a monster that crawled out of the seabed," Zhou Haiping muttered to himself, his face filled with despair.

Even so, the attack and defense diagram in his hand clearly laid out every step of the plan, which gave him some psychological comfort.

"Click click click".

The sound of several ice shards being pushed aside echoed around, like the cacophony of a demon, sending chills down one's spine.

"Musketeers, prepare!" Zhou Haiping immediately became alert, raising his voice as he shouted, while wiping the cold sweat from his brow.

Eight muskets were lit, ready to fire.

Where the light could barely reach, several blue dorsal fins suddenly crawled out of the hot spring, shaking their slightly frozen bodies on the ice.

Suddenly, they sped rapidly toward the steel tower.
