The newly added compass not only retained all its functions, but its usage limit was also increased to 10 times.

This way, when used for searching, you won't only find one ruin or terrain feature.

Lin Xu looked at the compass, and even more thoughts came to him.

By simply adding two compasses, the number of times a compass can be used has increased tenfold. If similar compasses are added, the number of uses should increase even further.

If there were enough of them, would it be possible to make a compass that would never be damaged?

Moreover, the current compass can only search for terrain and ruins. If more bosses are found and more compasses are obtained by defeating them in the future, wouldn't that allow the compass to have more functions?

For example, functions for finding people, finding monsters, finding materials, finding technology, and so on.

As Lin Xu envisioned the development of the compass, he felt that his idea was not just wishful thinking.

The island world is full of wonders, and there must be other types of compasses. As long as he continues to find these kinds of items, he can verify whether his previous guess was true.

Now that the spoils of this unexpected hunt have been processed, Lin Xu watched as the island moved rapidly toward Knight Wang En.

He took this opportunity to continue practicing the Shuofeng Sword Technique.

After fully integrating all the knowledge and techniques of swordsmanship into his mind, Lin Xu lay back on the recliner and began to study the blueprints of the turbine propeller.

He also wanted to work with Xiaoyu to improve the facility and make island operations more flexible.

However, before Lin Xu could study it for long, it was already evening.

Lin Xu was about to call the women to dinner when Xiao Yu suddenly spoke up:

"Master, there are islands and humans five kilometers ahead! They are setting up an island formation, seemingly preparing for battle."

Lin Xu's eyes flashed.

Based on the island owner's sensory abilities, he can perceive his own coordinates.

He was now certain that he was very close to the coordinates left by Wang En.

During the beginner period, due to the zoning policy, there weren't that many island owners in each region.

Therefore, those who appear in this location at this time are most likely Wang En's group.

If not, an island capable of such a large-scale gathering must be a lackey of some noble family.

With that in mind, Lin Xu instructed Xiao Yu to steer the island in a circle, getting behind the group of people in front.

Taking out the binoculars he had prepared before his novice period, Lin Xu observed the situation ahead from a distance.

Ahead, there was indeed a group of island lords arranging islands.

These islands, like those of Qin Liang's group back then, are mostly long and narrow, 100-meter-long ship-shaped islands.

The group is now lined up, delivering supplies and territory to a square island.

The square island was much larger than the longship-shaped islands, and it was equipped with a whole row of large, high-powered turbine propellers that could rotate at high speeds to accelerate the island.

On this square island, many labor slaves are active, loading various supplies into their island warehouses.

Lin Xu recognized these square islands as the "transport islands" of the nobility.

This type of dog is also a kind of lackey recruited by the nobles, but it is not responsible for plundering everywhere. Instead, it collects supplies from various plundering teams and then transports them to the nobles' main island.

However, in the distance, besides this transport island and those ordinary longship islands, a few hundred meters to the southeast, another island stands silently high up.

That island was clearly different from the others. Although it was also a long, narrow island shaped like a ship, it was significantly larger in scale, and its facilities, weaponry, and buildings were far superior to those of ordinary long-ship islands.

On that island stood a castle, surrounded by small, floating structures—floating weapons and shields, high-end combat equipment owned only by nobles.

When Lin Xu noticed the island owner, he also noticed that someone on the island was suddenly looking in his direction.

That person was also holding a pair of binoculars, and they made eye contact with Lin Xu.

Lin Xu saw a hint of shock and a sudden burst of hostility in that person's eyes.

The person's mouth moved, and Lin Xu deciphered its meaning:

"How dare you come here!"

Lin Xu immediately recognized that the person on that high-level island was none other than Knight Wang En.

This guy looks exactly like the photo on the account's profile picture.

And Wang En's island is naturally the Knight Island.

"As expected, the knights' armor is different from that of their lackeys. After all, they are still members of the nobility. The armored forces on that island could easily defeat dozens of Qin Liangs."

"However, compared to me, they're still a bit lacking..."

Lin Xu had already figured out that these ordinary longship islanders were probably Wang En's underlings. They had been gathered together for two reasons: first, to regularly deliver supplies to Chen Shaojie so that Chen Shaojie could develop his business rapidly.

Another reason was to set up an ambush.

Wang En invited Zhan Guo to join him. These people were the helpers Wang En had recruited. After he arrived, they surrounded him, captured him, and handed him over to Chen Shaojie.

"These guys are indeed moving supplies. If we give them a little more time, they really will move them. If I take them out then, I'll get far fewer supplies!"

Lin Xu watched as supplies were being transferred on the transport island, knowing that he had arrived just in time.

Wang Enzhao's men probably haven't finished transferring their supplies yet; they still have a considerable amount of territory and equipment they previously plundered.

Lin Xu glanced at the overall situation ahead and noticed that the islands were slowly turning and moving, which meant they had also spotted him.

But Lin Xu ignored those minor island lords and focused his attention on Knight Island.

"Only by capturing this island can we claim the lion's share of this battle! We can't let you get away!"

With that in mind, Lin Xu instructed Xiao Yu to adjust the ship's course and head straight for Knight Island.

Flight speeds on other islands are limited, and even on transport islands, the speed won't be very fast.

However, the equipment on Knight Island must be high-end, and if the people inside sense something is wrong and speed away, it might not be able to catch up.

That would be a huge loss.

Therefore, Lin Xu decided to capture the leader first and launched a surprise attack on Knight Island.

As Lin Xu's island drew closer to Knight Island, Lin Xu didn't even let Xiao Yu use the machine gun immediately in order to prevent Knight Island from being scared away.

Once they were a few hundred meters away from Knight Island, and the rotary machine gun's range had covered the target, Lin Xu spoke calmly:

"Xiaoyu, destroy Knight Island's defenses and mobile installations!"

"yes!"

Xiaoyu answered seriously.

On Knight Island, Wang En looked at Lin Xu Island rushing straight towards him with a disdainful expression:

"Like a moth to a flame? I thought a mere commoner wouldn't dare come looking for me, but not only did you come, you even came to your death ahead of time!"

"I'll show you with your own eyes the difference between nobles and commoners!"

With that, Wang En gave the order to the soldiers around him:

"Unlock all machine guns from No. 1 to No. 10 and blast this island to smithereens!"
