Ice Sea Lord: Starting with Intelligence Update

As the saying goes, when a new official takes office, the people suffer, but He Feng's actions have undoubtedly broken this rule.

Due to the chains binding them, the slaves of the Skua were not allowed to move around extensively within the fortress.

They could only toil humiliatingly at their meager workstations, like a chained dog.

They lacked food and clothing, and their lives were bleak. They were cautious and timid, fearing that they would be beaten by pirates.

He Feng severed their servility and forced them to stand up.

For them, it was like a complete rebuild.

During the reconstruction of the Azure, they could always see the figure of this lord.

They also frequently offer highly constructive suggestions.

"Welders must know how to use a welding torch!"

"A boiler operator must know how to boil water!"

"You must rest when you're tired from work!"

Now freed from the exhaustion of oppression, countless slaves are full of enthusiasm, and their passion for work is naturally rising.

With the billowing smoke from the boiler starting up, this long-dormant steel monster began to revive in a completely new form.

The old planks are cut off and melted down in the furnace along with the rust swept away, cast into shape, and then put into a new cycle in the hands of the workers.

Everyone put in their best effort, wielding their tools with abandon, meticulously driving each rivet into the wall.

A vibrant scene of life and flourishing diversity suddenly unfolds before our eyes.

For several days, the Azure was transformed amidst the sounds of cutting and hammering.

He Feng sat alone in the captain's cabin, painstakingly familiarizing himself with the operation of the entire ship.

"This is even harder than the third part of the driving test," he said with a pout.

As the leader of the Azure, he had to learn how to operate this behemoth.

A lord who can't sail a ship is not a good navigator.

Although Liu Neng had once been the ship's driver, it was clearly safer to let this veteran technician shine in his role rather than to teach him.

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, he can automatically step down and fill in.

Through the panoramic window of the cockpit, one can see that the entire ship's overhaul has been completed, and many workers have begun to rest.

Although some key components are still missing materials, some parts cannot be replaced in time.

But that's enough; with this level of enthusiasm, they've already reached the limit of what they can do.

There's no need to force people to do things they don't want to do.

A complete overhaul would obviously require a large amount of steel.

He Feng silently noted this point, as the current situation had become particularly important in the campaign against the mineral-eating giant crab.

Open the map.

The projector in the room flickered continuously, and a large screen suddenly lit up, quickly pinpointing the location of the Azure.

The Watt Blue Ice Cap is only 100 kilometers away, and the road is made up of thin ice that crumbles with a single step.

"Looks like the only option is to drive the fortress across."

After thinking it over, he resolutely pressed the main control button and finally clumsily planned the journey for the ship according to the instruction manual.

Once the program is entered, its internal differential machine can automatically process the data, achieving the function of automatic driving.

"Buzz—"

This was a dull, long, and drawn-out whistle sound.

The workers all looked up at the largest chimney in the fortress, from which billows white smoke, a harbinger of the fortress's impending departure.

On the vast ice field, the hundred-meter-long giant ship moored on the glacier roared once again, the sound deafening, like the roar of a giant beast.

The oars at the stern began to churn wildly, propelling the entire fortress forward with tremendous thrust. The icebreaker bow ahead moved with the ease of slicing through the ice, tearing a huge gash in the floating ice.

He Feng gazed ahead, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Within a day, the Azure arrived at its destination.

From a distance, one can see countless gray-black boulders wriggling on the iceberg, forming pairs and engaging in a grand harmony of life.

Those are the mineral-eating giant crabs that migrate here, a common Tier 1 monster that loves to feed on minerals.

Moreover, they mostly live alone, and normal people may not see them even once in a year or two at sea, but because of their delicious meat and rich nutritional content, they can fetch extremely high prices on the black market.

Its outer shell contains high-quality iron, making it an excellent choice for making weapons and armor.

Embarrassingly, the price difference between the crab shell and the crab meat is enormous. Most people are eager to buy the crab meat, while the shell is completely ignored.

Thinking of this, He Feng couldn't help but awkwardly scratch his head.

His behavior of picking up sesame seeds while trying to hit a watermelon is somewhat extraordinary.

The ship has reached the shore.

There are currently more than 40 people on the fortress who can be deployed by him.

In accordance with the battle plan, He Feng arranged for more than 10 people to stand guard on the ship, 8 people to control the gun emplacements in case of emergency, and 2 people to keep watch on the platform.

The remaining 20 people all harassed the crabs with guns, while the other 10, including Lin Mo and several others who had been greatly enhanced by the fruit, took steel knives and killed them. They then followed him off the ship and wiped out the group of crabs in one fell swoop.

Everyone was given a Snow-Glow Fruit to prevent injury or casualties during the battle.

The anchor was thrown to the seabed, firmly anchored within their operational area; the ship's cannons were their last trump card.

Allocation complete.

More than 30 people followed him off the ship one after another, showing no fear whatsoever and full of energy.

Lin Mo's fervor for the battle was almost overflowing. If He Feng hadn't been there, he would have loved to rush forward and hack the crabs to pieces.

He Feng made a gesture, and the crowd immediately dispersed, forming an inseparable encirclement.

Everyone lay prostrate on the ground, trying their best not to make a sound, their white snow clothes perfectly concealing their figures.

Soon, the entire encirclement was sealed off, with a roughly circular radius of no more than 50 meters.

The snow wind howled, and everyone in the team had sweat on their hands, trying their best to keep their breathing steady.

The time has come!

"Gunners harass, quick!" He Feng shouted.

In an instant, countless gun muzzles rose, forming more than 20 dense lines of fire, and bullets swept in like a storm.

"Bang bang bang".

Bullets relentlessly pounded into each of the mineral-eating giant crabs, sending sparks flying. The immense impact pierced through the shells of the sub-adult individuals, causing them to crash to the ground.

After a hail of bullets, most of the crabs were riddled with holes, leaving only two or three tough-skinned adult individuals.

The merciless attack clearly angered them. The giant crabs brandished their massive pincers and charged straight at He Feng and his companions, their pincers whistling as they aimed to crush them to dust.

"Cease fire, ambush handlers, prepare!"

The gunman immediately retreated, and the flash of blades gradually rose in all directions. Dozens of figures stood ready, assuming a battle stance.
