Li Kui nodded as if he understood, his admiration for Lu Yan growing even stronger.
"Xiao Kui, go and call Lu Fei and the others over to discuss a plan."
Lu Yan dusted off non-existent dust from his sleeves, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Hawaiian country has suffered such a huge loss, they certainly won't let this go easily,"
"We need to prepare early to avoid being caught off guard."
Li Kui accepted the order and left. Before long, Lu Fei, Zhang Xun, Han Sheng, and Ye Xiao gathered in the back garden.
Each of them stood tall and straight, exuding a murderous aura, as if they were ready to go into battle at any moment.
"Sir, you were looking for us?"
Lu Fei clasped his hands in greeting and asked, his eagle eyes gleaming beneath his thick eyebrows.
"You've all heard about what happened in Java?"
Lu Yan swirled the teacup in his hand, the tea shimmering and reflecting his ambiguous smile.
"I've heard about it," Zhang Xun replied in a muffled voice.
"That King of Java is a complete idiot! How dare he run wild on our territory!"
"Exactly! They don't even bother to find out what kind of place our Shannan Prefecture is!"
Han Sheng echoed him, his tone full of disdain.
Night Owl remained silent as always, only nodding slightly to indicate that he understood.
"They won't be able to keep this up for long,"
Lu Yan put down his teacup, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"This time, I'm going to show them what it means to be heartbroken!"
At this moment, Li Kui slapped his thigh, looking distressed, and said:
"My lord, you speak frankly, but it seems that our Shannan Prefecture has no navy!"
"If Java really attacks, won't we be left with no choice but to passively take the hits?"
When Li Kui said this, everyone was stunned.
Yes, Shannan Prefecture has cavalry, infantry, and musketeer battalions, but it lacks a navy.
Most of these people are landlubbers; if they were to fight in the water...
That was truly a desperate situation, with no one to turn to for help.
What's worse is that online trolls not only need people, but also boats!
In the entire Shannan Prefecture, there wasn't even a decent fishing boat, let alone warships.
In an instant, everyone began to show off their "water skills".
"Sir, I used to catch fish in the river when I was a child, so I can barely swim, right?"
Zhang Xun scratched his head and said in a simple and honest manner.
"What kind of water skill is catching fish by slacking off? I've swum in the river before!"
Han Sheng looked smug, as if he were some kind of swimming champion.
"You've swum? Then can you scuba dive? Can you do backstroke? Can you do butterfly?"
"This...this won't happen..."
Han Sheng was speechless for a moment, and awkwardly touched his nose.
The owl remained silent, only taking a step back.
They seem to want to distance themselves from this discussion about "water-based kung fu".
Li Kui, however, looked distressed and said with a bitter expression:
"Brothers, this isn't the time to discuss who can swim!"
"We need to figure out how to build a navy and how to build ships!"
Everyone then realized the seriousness of the problem and fell silent.
We looked at each other, and for a moment the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed like it could drip water.
Lu Yan was completely baffled.
"Alright, alright, stop bragging!"
"You lot, if you didn't know better, you'd all look like white streaks in the waves!"
The owl, who had been silent all along, finally spoke:
"My lord, I do have someone I can recommend."
"Oh? Who is it?" Lu Yan became interested.
“Tu Rong,” Night Owl said succinctly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yan's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh.
"That's right! How could I forget about him!"
Tu Rong was originally a fierce general from Java, known for his bravery and skill in battle, especially in naval warfare.
"Quickly! Bring Tu Rong here!"
Lu Yan excitedly gave the order.
Before long, Tu Rong arrived at the back garden.
He was tall and muscular with dark skin, a short mustache, and sharp eyes.
He looks like a seasoned veteran.
"Tu Rong greets Your Excellency!"
Tu Rong knelt on one knee and clasped his hands in a salute.
"Tu Rong, there's no need for such formalities, please rise!"
"My lord, what are your orders?" Tu Rong asked, standing up.
Lu Yan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:
"Those bastards from Java are probably going to retaliate. This time they'll likely attack by sea."
“You used to serve in the Javanese navy, so you must be very familiar with naval warfare.”
"Therefore, I want you to assemble an online army, just in case."
Upon hearing this, Tu Rong agreed without hesitation:
"Rest assured, my lord, Tu Rong will do his utmost to fulfill his mission!"
"Then let me show it to everyone!"
As Lu Yan spoke, he glanced at Tu Rong's muscular physique with a wicked grin.
He was thinking to himself, what if this kid can't swim?
Then I'll have to give him a good thrashing.
Lu Yan got up and led Tu Rong and the others to the indoor swimming pool he had built for himself.
This swimming pool is extremely luxurious, and the water is crystal clear.
The surrounding area is dotted with exotic flowers and plants, and a faint fragrance permeates the air.
"This pool is 100 meters long, let's swim back and forth!"
Lu Yan pointed at the swimming pool, his tone tinged with provocation.
"Thank you, sir!"
Tu Rong did not hesitate at all; he knew this was his chance to prove his strength.
Shannan Prefecture is full of talented people. If you want to stand out, you must seize every opportunity.
The people around Tu Rong looked at her with suspicion.
Are these barbarians from Java really that powerful?
Tu Rong completely ignored the gazes of the crowd.
