Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 131 Piranha Tribe Attacks

"Chief!" Jiang Tao and Ling Pu came to Meng Zheng.

"What do you think?" Meng Zheng asked directly, looking at the only two generals in the territory.

Meng Zheng looked sharply at the two generals in front of him, Jiang Tao and Ling Pu, waiting for their opinions.

Jiang Tao pondered for a moment and spoke first, "Chief, the Piranha Tribe has been assembling their forces in such a hurry, clearly unaware of our strength. According to previous intelligence, the Piranha Tribe is brutal and bloodthirsty, and therefore extremely arrogant. We can exploit their misjudgment of our strength and devise a surprising tactic to eliminate this vanguard. This will definitely be very beneficial for our subsequent attack on the Piranha Tribe headquarters."

Ling Pu continued Jiang Tao's words and added, "That's true, Chief. We can take advantage of the terrain and set up some ambush points. We can first use a small number of forces to tie down their vanguard troops, and then launch a full-scale attack after they have penetrated deep into our territory. At the same time, the addition of the Dragonborn Clan provides us with more tactical possibilities."

Meng Zheng nodded inwardly as he listened to the two generals' analysis. They had not only taken the enemy's movements into account but had also fully incorporated the Canghai Tribe's newfound strength, offering practical tactical suggestions.

"Very good," Meng Zheng said solemnly, "Your suggestions are all very pertinent. Jiang Tao, you will be responsible for setting up traps and ambushes. Make sure we catch the enemy off guard once they enter our territory. Ling Pu, you will be responsible for commanding the soldiers to conduct containment and counterattacks, ensuring that our tactics can be implemented smoothly."

"Yes, Patriarch!" Jiang Tao and Ling Pu responded in unison.

Meng Zheng looked at the backs of Jiang Tao and Ling Pu as they left, and his heart was full of confidence in the strategy and execution ability of these two generals.

Meng Zheng did not intend to intervene in this battle. As the patriarch of a tribe, it would be too tiring for him to get involved in everything.

Appropriate delegation of power not only saves your own time, but also trains the abilities of other generals.

Meng Zheng was naturally confident in the abilities of Jiang Tao and Ling Pu, but Shen Zhan, Tang Yu and Mu She still needed more training.

This time, facing the Piranha Tribe, Meng Zheng decided to do nothing and let his generals do it, while he just took care of their logistics work.

With Jiang Tao's intelligence, he could definitely understand Meng Zheng's meaning.

Jiang Tao looks rough, but he is actually very careful. Meng Zheng has known this for a long time since he joined the Canghai tribe.

Not to mention that Ling Pu has joined now. With Ling Pu's calm and cold personality, he can definitely assist Jiang Tao in fighting this battle.

With the departure of Jiang Tao and Ling Pu, Meng Zheng turned his attention to the tribe's logistical preparations.

A great war is about to begin, and sufficient supplies and a complete logistical support system are the keys to victory.

Although Meng Zheng did not intend to intervene in the specific battle, he could still provide them with basic support.

Meng Zheng first summoned the logistics officers of the tribe and inquired in detail about the current material reserves, including food, arrows, shields and other combat necessities.

He was relieved to learn that the reserves were sufficient, but to ensure that nothing could go wrong, he ordered an increase in the collection and storage of supplies to prevent any eventuality.

Especially the hydraulic catapult and Canglan armor, these two equipment played a huge role in previous battles and are crucial to improving the combat effectiveness of tribal warriors.

The hydraulic catapult, a unique long-range weapon of the Canghai Tribe, utilizes the pressure of seawater to launch powerful water projectiles. This not only boasts a long range but also high accuracy, capable of inflicting heavy damage before the enemy even approaches their position. Meng Zheng instructed logistics officials to ensure that every soldier is equipped with this weapon and to maintain a sufficient supply of materials for emergencies.

The Canglan Battle Armor, developed jointly by the Carapace Masters and the Craftsmen, is not only lightweight and flexible, but also boasts incredible defensive capabilities, significantly enhancing the warriors' survivability. Meng Zheng knew that these armors would be the warriors' strongest support in the upcoming battle. He personally inspected the armor inventory and, using a Dragonborn warrior as a template, prepared to equip each new Dragonborn warrior with a set of Canglan Battle Armor.

As for the weapons of the Dragonborn Warrior, there is no need for them.

Their claws are their most powerful weapons. The claws of dragonborn warriors are as sharp as blades and contain the terrible fire power of the blazing-horned fire dragon, which is enough to be invincible on the battlefield.

Meng Zheng decided to make full use of this natural advantage and equip them with special hand guards that could not only protect their claws from harm, but also further amplify the effectiveness of their fire attacks.

Although this is underwater, fire-attribute attacks will be infinitely weakened, but if the flames are condensed enough and strong enough, they can also produce terrible effects in the water.

The problem now is that the Canghai tribe has basically no resources with fire attributes.

Meng Zheng couldn't help but think of the Flame Heart player he had met before. Perhaps he could exchange some relevant resources with him.

At the same time, Meng Zheng has arranged for Cangmu to build the altar for the transformation of the dragon descendants of the Fiery Horned Flame Dragon, so as to improve the strength of the dragon descendants as soon as possible.

In addition, Meng Zheng naturally did not forget that the spring space can awaken the dragon bloodline. Presumably, these dragon warriors can definitely quickly improve their strength in the Canghai tribe.

Become another sharp knife in the hands of the Canghai tribe.

Under Meng Zheng's overall planning, the Canghai tribe was united and making intensive preparations for war.

The warriors were in high spirits, and they all expressed their desire to show their prowess in this battle and fight for the glory of the tribe. The dragonborn warriors were even more eager, looking forward to their first battle after being born.

As a fighting race, dragonborn warriors are born with a desire and passion for battle. Not only do they possess the bloodline of the Blazing Horned Flame Dragon, they also inherit the dragon race's powerful fighting ability and indomitable will.

Just as the Canghai tribe was preparing for war, the vanguard of the Piranha tribe was quietly approaching.

This team of 300 elite warriors shuttled quickly underwater like a group of ferocious sharks, vowing to tear the Canghai tribe into pieces.

The leading piranha man summoned a scout, "What's the situation ahead?" the piranha man leader asked in a deep voice. His voice echoed underwater with a chilling atmosphere.

The scout quickly reported: "Sir, the new tribal territory we just discovered is ahead. It seems to be a group of murlocs, but they are not very strong."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Piranha fishmen curled up his lips into a cruel smile, with a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes.

He waved his hand, signaling the scouts to retreat. Then he turned and shouted to the warriors behind him, "Brothers, our prey lies ahead, a group of weak murlocs. How could they hide for so long? Humph! How ridiculous! Today, we will show them what cruelty is. Go forward, use our sharp teeth and claws to tear them into pieces and eat them!"

Following the order from the leader of the Piranha people, three hundred elite warriors rushed forward like arrows.

They were extremely fast, like black lightning, drawing graceful arcs underwater.
