Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 135 The Angry Piranha Chief

Jiang Tao looked at Chi Yan with a determined gaze, planning the next move in detail: "We will take the initiative this time. If they dare to come out, we will continue to ambush them and make sure they suffer heavy losses in front of the Piranha Tribe's base camp.

According to Lord Li Gen's intelligence, this Piranha tribe doesn't have a defensive formation, so its defense is very weak. This is also a very good breakthrough point."

There was a cunning glint in Jiang Tao's eyes, and it was obvious that he had a plan in mind.

"What if they don't attack?" Chi Yan thought of something and asked directly.

"Then we should surround this tribe and attack its reinforcements. We'll cut off their supply lines and their escape routes," Jiang Tao analyzed calmly. "The Piranha Tribe needs food and other resources to maintain its daily operations. If we blockade the surrounding waters, they'll soon be in trouble."

"At the same time, we must send out a scout team to closely monitor the movements of the Piranha Tribe to ensure that we can grasp their actions in a timely manner. Once they make any moves, we must respond immediately." Jiang Tao continued, his voice firm and powerful, as if every word contained infinite power.

Chiyan nodded, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. "Great idea! This way, we can toy with the Piranha Tribe in the palm of our hands, making them exhausted and unable to resist."

Ling Pu also smiled and said: "In this way, they will either be forced to come out for a decisive battle, or gradually be exhausted in the siege."

Jiang Tao nodded and continued, "At the same time, we must also utilize the Shadow Fish's possible scouting network and have the patrolling Yakshas block their reconnaissance channels. We must also try our best to understand the Piranha Tribe's movements. If they make any unusual movements, we can respond quickly."

Ling Pu added: "We can also send small forces to conduct harassment and reconnaissance in the surrounding waters to further reduce their space for activities."

Jiang Tao glanced at Ling Pu approvingly and said, "That's right. This will not only deplete their combat effectiveness, but also disrupt their deployment. We want to make the Piranha Tribe feel that no matter where they go, they can't escape our eyes and hands."

Under Jiang Tao's command, the Canghai tribe's warriors quickly took action. Some of them were responsible for blocking the sea area, some for harassment and reconnaissance, and some remained in place to prepare for a possible counterattack from the Piranha tribe.

At the same time, the captured Piranha leader was brought before Jiang Tao. Jiang Tao looked at him and asked coldly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The Piranha leader turned pale and trembled as he said, "I... I'm just a nobody. Please let me go."

Jiang Tao chuckled disdainfully and said, "Let you go? That's impossible. However, if you're willing to cooperate with us and provide valuable information, I might consider giving you a quick death."

A glimmer of hope for survival flashed in the Piranha leader's eyes, and he nodded quickly, "I'm willing! I'm willing to cooperate with you!"

Under Jiang Tao's questioning, the Piranha leader revealed some intelligence about the Piranha tribe, including their weaknesses, defense loopholes, and the tribe leader's preferences. This information is undoubtedly invaluable to the Canghai tribe.

In the Piranha Tribe's base camp, the Piranha chief was anxiously waiting for the battle report from the front.

The Shadow Fishman scout team had been sent out for a long time, but there was no return yet, which made him feel vaguely uneasy.

At this moment, a shadow fishman covered in scars staggered into the hall, panting heavily and hurriedly reporting the disastrous defeat on the front line.

"Chief, no...it's bad! Our vanguard troops have been wiped out, and the enemy is approaching the base camp!" The news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking the Piranha chief so much that he was speechless for a long time.

He stood up suddenly, a fierce look flashing in his eyes: "What? What's going on?"

The Shadow Fish scout replied tremblingly, a hint of fear in his voice, "The enemy... the enemy is extremely powerful. Their warriors are not only numerous, but also incredibly powerful. Our vanguard was unable to withstand them and was quickly wiped out."

Upon hearing this, the Piranha leader clenched his fists and roared angrily, "How dare these damned fellows be so arrogant! Don't they know I'm a piranha? I'll make sure they know the consequences of offending me!"

The Piranha players were furious. Only 500 elite warriors were selected from the entire Piranha tribe. They originally thought that 300 people would be enough to win the battle in one go.

Unexpectedly, news came back saying that his army of 300 people had been wiped out?
The Piranha Chieftain's fury was practically tangible. His massive body paced back and forth within the hall, each step seemingly causing the ground to tremble. His eyes gleamed with madness, like an enraged beast, ready to unleash its wrath.

The shadow fishman beside him kept shaking and shrinking his body, trying to reduce his presence.

Unfortunately, the Piranha leader had already bitten him: "Everyone else is dead, so why did you come back?"

Before the shadow fishman could react, the leader of the water tiger fishman opened his mouth and swallowed him directly into his stomach.

He chewed the food vigorously, as if savoring the Shadow Fishman's fear and despair. Then, he wiped his mouth, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

The Piranha leader took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He knew full well that decisions made in anger were often the most foolish. However, this failure was undoubtedly a huge blow to him, after so long in Eternity.

Everything has been going smoothly. I get whatever I want and can do whatever I want.

When had he ever suffered such humiliation? He had to take action to save the situation, otherwise his authority and status would be seriously questioned.

"Pass the order down, assemble all the warriors immediately and prepare for battle!" The voice of the Piranha chief echoed in the empty hall with unquestionable majesty.

He understood that only through fighting could he wash away the shame and restore his prestige.

I just don’t believe it. I am a time traveler and the destined protagonist of this world!
Can we still be defeated by these stupid natives?
However, at this moment, a calm voice interrupted him: "Chief, please think again."

The speaker was the think tank of the Piranha Tribe - an old but sharp-eyed silver-scale frogman.

He slowly walked up to the clan leader, his tone filled with worry, "We currently don't know the enemy's specific strength and numbers. If we attack blindly, we might fall into their trap."

The Piranha leader glared at the Silver-Scaled Frogman, as if he wanted to eat him alive. "Are you saying I'm afraid of them? When has our Piranha tribe ever retreated?"
