Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 132 Developing a Strategy
Elsewhere, Jiang Tao and Ling Pu were also discussing strategy, with Li Gen listening nearby. "Master Li Gen, please tell me more about these Piranhas!"

Upon hearing this, Li Gen nodded solemnly and began to introduce the situation of the Piranha Tribe to Jiang Tao and Ling Pu in detail.

"The Piranha Tribe, from my observation, is very strange. Once they encounter blood, they instantly lose their minds and go into a frenzy. Their combat effectiveness increases significantly, but they also become more brutal and uncontrollable."

Seeing Jiang Tao's lack of reaction, Li Gen continued, "I've already arranged a team to monitor them at all times, but I didn't expect them to discover our tribe. I suspect this Piranha tribe must have a dedicated scouting unit, otherwise they wouldn't have escaped the surveillance of my patrolling Yaksha clan."

Jiang Tao's brow furrowed after listening to Li Gen's introduction, clearly finding the Piranha Tribe's unique characteristics quite troubling. He turned to look at Ling Pu, and the two exchanged a solemn glance, clearly both pondering how to respond to this sudden change.

"Lord Li Gen, your intelligence is very important to us," Jiang Tao said solemnly, "It seems we need to make some adjustments to our original plan and eliminate these spies lurking near our tribe."

Ling Pu nodded in agreement and added, "Indeed, the threat these spies pose to us cannot be ignored. Not only could they reveal our tactical arrangements, but they could also attack us from behind while we're fighting the Piranha Tribe, leaving us vulnerable from both sides."

Jiang Tao continued, "Since they are good at gathering information, we should take advantage of this and create confusion so they can't accurately judge our true intentions and capabilities. At the same time, we need to send out elite troops to quietly eliminate these spies and ensure that our operations are not interfered with."

Upon hearing this, Li Gen nodded in agreement and said, "Leave it to me! Just watch how I deal with these guys."

Ling Pu pondered, "Once the Piranha Tribe goes berserk, their combat effectiveness will increase significantly. We must be prepared in advance. If we're not careful, it could cause massive damage to our warriors."

Ling Pu's concerns were justified. The violent state of the Piranha Tribe was indeed a threat that could not be ignored.

Li Gen thought for a moment and then said, "Oh, I have another idea about the Piranha Tribe's violent state. We could try some tricks, like catching some big fish, draining their blood, and luring them into a violent state early. Then, when they lose their minds, we could attack them. This might yield unexpected results."

Jiang Tao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought it was a good idea.

"Lord Li Gen, your plan is truly ingenious. If we can successfully lure the Piranha Tribe warriors into a frenzy ahead of time, their insanity will enhance their combat effectiveness, but they will also become more chaotic and unpredictable, which will undoubtedly create more opportunities for us to fight."

Ling Pu nodded and added, "This plan is feasible, but we need to pay attention to a few key points. First, we must ensure that the bleeding fish can accurately attract the attention of the Piranha Tribe and not cause other unnecessary trouble. Second, we need to organize a swift and effective attack after the Piranha Tribe warriors enter a frenzy, ensuring that we can achieve a decisive victory before they regain their senses."

Li Gen heard this and smiled confidently. "Don't worry, I will personally oversee the execution of this plan and ensure every detail is flawless. As for how to organize the attack, that will depend on the abilities of the two of you."

Jiang Tao and Ling Pu smiled at each other.

Chi Yan, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but ask, "Then what should my Blazing Horned Flame Dragon Clan do?"

Jiang Tao looked at Chiyan and said, "Chiyan, the mission of your Dragonborn clan is naturally important and difficult. Whether you can win this ambush depends on you."

The dragonborn's body shape is relatively more like a human. Although it cannot swim fast, its combat power is very strong.

As long as they could mount their Abyssal Beasts and launch a surprise attack on the Piranha troops, they would definitely cause immense chaos and destruction. Jiang Tao smiled and said, "The Dragonborn warriors will be our surprise force in this ambush, and the key to victory or defeat."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yan's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he said firmly, "Please rest assured, Generals. We, the Dragonborn, will do our utmost to live up to your expectations!"

At this time, the vanguard of the Piranha Tribe was getting closer and closer. They were like a black torrent, advancing rapidly on the seabed. Wherever they passed, fish and shrimps all gave way, and the seaweed was also broken by their powerful momentum.

Jiang Tao and Ling Pu quickly took action. According to the previous plan, they divided the warriors into several small teams and deployed them at different ambush points. This time, the operation was mainly led by the Crazy Wave War Guards and the Dragonborn.

The hydraulic catapult soldiers and mermaid shield spearmen hold hydraulic catapult tubes in the rear. As long as they seize the opportunity, thousands of water bombs will sweep out.

As the Piranha Tribe's vanguard approached, the Canghai Tribe's warriors also took their positions, preparing for the upcoming battle in a tense and orderly manner.

Jiang Tao personally led a team of Kuangtao War Guards. They wore Canglan armor, held sharp swords, and their eyes revealed determination and courage.

They were deployed at a key ambush point, awaiting the arrival of the Piranhas.

As the tribe's forging level improved, the addition of the Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab Tribe gave the Canghai Tribe the ability to forge iron tools.

The Raging Wave Guards no longer needed to fight with stone hammers, but could instead use the giant swords tailor-made for them.

This sword is extremely heavy, engraved with sharp runes and gravity runes, allowing the Raging Wave Guards to fully utilize their personal strengths and possess even more powerful combat capabilities.

Ling Pu was in charge of commanding another team, which was composed of dragon warriors and earth beasts.

The dragonborn warriors ride on the backs of the Abyssal Beasts. Although they are not cavalry, with the help of the Abyssal Beasts' speed, they can quickly break into the enemy camp and cause huge damage to the enemy.

Not to mention that the Abyssal Beast possesses a protective shield spell, which can also provide a certain degree of protection for the Dragonborn and reduce casualties.

At this time, the Piranha Tribe's vanguard had already entered the Canghai Tribe's territory. Like ferocious sharks, they darted through the water, leaving devastation in their wake. However, they were unaware that they had fallen into an ambush by the Canghai Tribe.

"Here it comes!" Jiang Tao shouted in a low voice, his eyes becoming extremely sharp.

He quickly sent out a signal, indicating that each team should prepare for action.

The Raging Wave Guards held their breath, waiting for the best opportunity to arrive.
