"Boss, where did you get this?" Chen Mo asked.
Lu Yang smiled. "Thanks to you. I got Blackbeard's Treasure Map, unlocked Blackbeard's reputation, and traded the map for it."
"Great! Now all the shipyards can be upgraded to Level 5, and I can build ships!" Chen Mo said excitedly.
Lu Yang said, "Go upgrade all the shipyards to Level 5. Don't rush to build ships yet. Build Abyssal Cannons first."
He handed the Abyssal Cannon blueprint to Chen Mo as well. "This is the new type of artillery."
"Boss, you even got the cannon blueprint? That's amazing!" Chen Mo was nearly incoherent. The surprise had come too suddenly. Everything he had been worried about had somehow been resolved by Lu Yang.
Lu Yang said, "Build 2,000 Abyss Cannons first and place them in the fortress on Icefire Island."
There was only one place on Icefire Island where large numbers of players could land: Seagull Beach on the eastern side of the island. It stretched five thousand meters long.
Lu Yang had built a field fortress on the rocks behind the beach. Originally, it had been intended to prevent the Sea God Army from launching a surprise attack while Lu Yang had Chen Mo attack the Beast Race. Unexpectedly, the Sea God Army had not come, but the fortress now happened to be useful for defending against foreign players.
The fortress had 1,000 Fortress Cannons. With another 2,000 Abyss Cannons and the advantage of higher ground, the enemy would never be able to take it. As for the four fortresses outside Icefire Island, Lu Yang had decided that if the Dutch players attacked, he would abandon them first. He could not defend those four coastal fortresses.
"No problem. I'll arrange it right away," Chen Mo said.
"I'll go with you." Lu
