Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 116 Temple
The mermen are very much like dolphins, they are very fast, constantly carrying supplies and performing various busy tasks.

The architectural structures of this Piranha tribe are mostly made of wood and stone, and are well planned. You can tell at a glance that someone capable is behind it.

The number of Piranha tribe warriors far exceeded their initial estimates, with at least five hundred fully armed warriors patrolling and training in the tribe.

These warriors are not only well-equipped, but also have combat effectiveness that is no worse than the patrol teams outside. It is obvious at a glance that they are the backbone of the Piranha Tribe.

While exploring the buildings, many patrolling Yakshas discovered a mysterious building located in the center of the tribe - an ancient temple.

The temple is surrounded by dense aquatic plants and rocks, making it extremely secluded.

The walls of the temple are engraved with ancient runes and totems, revealing a mysterious and powerful power.

Any patrolling sea yaksha who discovers this temple will feel a palpitation and dare not approach it easily.

Li Gen himself went to explore the core area of ​​the tribe.

After obtaining important information about the Piranha Tribe, Li Gen and his team members quickly returned to Meng Zheng's camp.

They sneaked all the way, carefully avoiding all possible patrols, and finally returned to the tribe safely.

Meng Zheng, who was observing the "Secret Book of Water", was awakened by the guard outside the door and immediately summoned Li Gen over.

As soon as he saw Meng Zheng, Li Gen couldn't wait to speak: "My lord, we are back and have brought back information about the Piranha Tribe."

Meng Zheng raised his head, his eyes revealing anticipation: "Oh? Tell me quickly, what did you find?"

Li Gen reported their findings to Meng Zheng in detail: "My Lord, the strength of the Piranha Tribe is truly not to be underestimated. Our investigation has revealed that this tribe consists of three clans: in addition to the Piranha people, there are also Silver Scale Frogmen and Blue Flag Dolphin people, with a total population of at least three thousand. Their warriors are primarily Piranha people, numbering approximately five hundred, fully armed, patrolling and training within the tribe. Furthermore, the tribe's defenses are very tight, with numerous patrol teams and a formidable strength."

Meng Zheng's expression became solemn. He had never expected that the number of people in this piranha tribe was so large.

The Canghai tribe, including the murlocs, black gold iron-clad crabs, etc., has only more than 2,000 people. I didn't expect that the players I met this time would have so many people.

Moreover, the problem is that the Piranha is a powerful fighting race. If it is not handled properly, a war between the two tribes will inevitably break out.

He nodded and said, "This tribe is indeed not simple. Have you found anything useful?"

Li Gen continued, "In addition to the large number of warriors, we also found that the Piranha Tribe's buildings are very solid and well-organized. It's clear that this tribe has a clear plan and goals. Everyone has a task assigned to them and is constantly busy. They have a clear division of labor, and the entire tribe appears to be very orderly."

After hearing this, Meng Zheng frowned. If the Piranha Tribe was powerful but had a chaotic planning, it would be easy to solve.

But we are afraid that this kind of orderly force, under strict coordination and regulation, can also burst out with powerful strength even if it is a race with little combat effectiveness.

Not to mention that the Piranhas are not simple to begin with, and now they have a highly organized structure.

That's even more complicated.

Meng Zheng pondered for a moment, then asked, "Li Gen, do they have any Xuan-level masters? Or perhaps guardian beasts?" Li Gen carefully recalled what they had seen and heard in the Piranha Tribe, then replied, "My Lord, we didn't directly discover any Xuan-level masters during our exploration. However, we discovered an ancient temple in the heart of the tribe. The walls are engraved with ancient runes and totems, revealing a mysterious and powerful power. This temple must be hiding some secret of the Piranha Tribe."

"Temple?" Meng Zheng's heart moved.

Could it be that this player also has a powerful investment?
The Canghai tribe does not have such things as temples. Although there is an altar, it is just a building used to commemorate the soldiers who died in battle and comfort people's hearts.

As a new world, the Eternal Continent is still controlled by the Eternal System, so it is impossible for gods to exist.

"Yes, this temple is very strange, as if it has existed for a long time." Li Gen answered affirmatively.

"Well, there's no rush for the temple matter. We'll always be able to find clues later. The Piranha Tribe also has vassal races. How are they living?" It's impossible to get exact news, nor can we have more guesses. Let's think about how to deal with the Piranha Tribe!

Li Gen replied bluntly, "My Lord, the lives of their tribe's vassal races don't seem to be going well. I've seen Piranhas casually devouring Silver-Scaled Frogmen or Blue-Flag Dolphins more than once. While the Piranhas are cautious, tribal warriors still occasionally lose control and slaughter the surrounding creatures."

"Out of control?" Meng Zheng keenly caught the problem with Li Gen's words.

"That's right, out of control. This Piranha tribe is very strange. Whenever there's blood, the Piranha warriors' eyes turn red and they attack madly and uncontrollably. After killing their prey, they continue to gnaw on the corpse until they've devoured all the blood and flesh, and then they slowly regain their sanity."

Seeing that Meng Zheng didn't say anything, Li Gen continued, "Secondly, it seems that this tribe doesn't have a defensive formation, and they mainly rely on patrol personnel to protect the tribe's safety."

Meng Zheng's eyes gleamed when he heard this: "No defensive formation? This is indeed a point worth paying attention to."

The Eternal Continent is very friendly to new lords, and is basically equipped with various basic buildings and supplies.

In Tianyu Lake, if there is no defensive formation, then once the monsters attack the city, there will be great pressure.

Whether in the sky or underground, you may be attacked from all directions.

The Canghai tribe was able to develop so steadily thanks to the water spirit protection formation.

Otherwise, Meng Zheng would never dare to develop too many civilian buildings, but would concentrate on developing the military to ensure the real-time security of the territory.

This Piranha tribe doesn’t even have a defensive formation?

Didn't find the right resource?
Impossible. Before the monsters attack the city, as long as you destroy the monster groups and obtain treasure chests, you can obtain development materials more or less.

If you lack a certain resource for a long time, you can basically get it by opening a treasure chest.

By opening treasure chests, Meng Zheng directly gathered the resources of two water spirit protection formations and protected both the Canghai Tribe and the Hailing Bamboo.

This Piranha tribe does not have a defensive magic circle, so there is a high possibility that they will obtain an offensive magic circle.
