Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 152 Return
If the tribe develops quickly, the people will have a better life.

At the same time, Jiang Tao and others finally brought back all the frogmen and fishmen after a day's trek.

"Chief, Jiang Tao and the others are back!" A patrolling sea yaksha hurried over to report.

Upon hearing this, Meng Zheng immediately swam above the territory. His eyes passed through layers of buildings and he saw a team slowly marching in the distance.

"Come with me!" Meng Zheng flicked his tail and headed towards Jiang Tao and the others at a high speed.

The speed of this group of fishmen and frogmen was not slow, but there were too many of them. In order to prevent the team from being confused, Jiang Tao deliberately slowed down the pace.

In this battle, the Piranha Tribe disappeared directly.

However, a lot of supplies were also seized, as well as various resource points that the Piranha Tribe could not take away.

After the Canghai tribe has arranged everything, we can take over.

A force that can develop to the village level will naturally have many resource points and is very worth looking forward to.

After a while, Meng Zheng came in front of Jiang Tao.

"How is Jiang Tao doing?" Meng Zheng asked. Although there were patrolling Yakshas delivering news to Meng Zheng every day, none of them could be as clear as describing it in person.

"Chief, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I let that guy get away!" Jiang Tao said with a look of shame.

Meng Zheng's brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this, but then relaxed again. He patted Jiang Tao on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. Just run away. At least we've wiped out most of the Piranha Tribe's forces and seized their supplies and resource bases. This is already a great victory. Sooner or later, we'll find him and completely resolve this hidden danger."

Jiang Tao nodded and continued, "Although the clan leader didn't kill Canhu this time, I brought back all his vassals. What he took away was just an empty shell."

Hearing this, Meng Zheng smiled with satisfaction. He said, "Very good, Jiang Tao, you did an excellent job. Bringing back these vassal races is a huge asset to us. Their joining will further enhance the strength of our Canghai Tribe."

Then, Meng Zheng's eyes swept over the slowly advancing team in the distance. Led by Jiang Tao, those fishmen and frogmen were marching towards the Canghai tribe in an orderly manner.

"How many people did you bring back this time?" Meng Zheng asked.

"There are more than 1,400 Blue Flag Fishmen, more than 600 Shadow Fishmen, and more than 900 Silver Scale Frogmen. The rest have basically been eaten by those guys like Canhu." Jiang Tao said seriously.

After hearing this, Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you did an excellent job. Don't worry about the rest, leave it to Jiang Bin!"

Meng Zheng had already sensed that Jiang Bin had brought his men over at a high speed. This guy would be busy again.

Jiang Bin quickly arrived with a team of people. After meeting up with Meng Zheng, he immediately understood Meng Zheng's intention and began to arrange the work and life of the newly joined vassal race.

"Jiang Bin, these are the newly joined Blue Flag Dolphin Fishmen, Shadow Fishmen and Silver Scale Frogmen. You are responsible for arranging accommodation and food for them. You don't need to arrange work for them for the time being. You can make adjustments after they settle down." Meng Zheng instructed Jiang Bin.

"Okay, Patriarch, I'll make the arrangements." Jiang Bin responded respectfully.

"With so many people, the tribe should be able to settle them down, right?" Meng Zheng asked this question after hesitating for a moment.

"No problem. When General Jiang Tao went to war, I already guessed that a large number of people might join our tribe, so we were already prepared. Although the population is a bit higher than expected, if we dispatch some to the Hailing Bamboo Land, we can still settle them all."

Hearing Jiang Bin's response, Meng Zheng nodded, his worries dissipating. "Very good, Jiang Bin, I always trust you to do things," Meng Zheng praised. Then his gaze fell again on the slowly advancing team in the distance. "Settle them down and cultivate their sense of identity with the tribe. We can't let a situation like the Piranha people happen again."

Meng Zheng has a profound vision. The prosperity and stability of the tribe cannot be separated from the hearts of every member of the tribe.

They betrayed the Piranha people because they were oppressed in the Piranha tribe.

Finally, when facing a powerful enemy, not only did they not join forces to resist the foreign enemy, but they took the opportunity to revolt, causing chaos in the entire Piranha tribe.

If it weren't for this, maybe they could have fought off the Canghai tribe and wouldn't have been conquered so quickly.

This made him more aware that relying solely on military conquest was not enough. What was more important was to make these vassal races truly identify with the Canghai tribe and become part of the tribe.

"Jiang Bin, do you understand what I mean?" Meng Zheng emphasized again.

Jiang Bin's expression was solemn upon hearing this. He was well aware of Meng Zheng's expectations and concerns. He replied respectfully, "Chief, I understand. I will do my best to settle these new members and make them feel the warmth and care of the tribe. At the same time, I will strengthen their education so that they can understand us and cultivate a sense of belonging."

Upon hearing this, Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction. He believed that Jiang Bin was capable of doing it.

"Jiang Bin, go ahead. I'm looking forward to your good news." Meng Zheng waved his hand, signaling Jiang Bin that he could start.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bin immediately turned around and took quick action with a team of people.

After dealing with these frogmen and fishmen, Meng Zheng turned around and returned to the lord's mansion, and at the same time asked the clan leaders and stewards of each tribe to report to the lord's mansion.

Soon, the clan leaders and stewards of each tribe arrived one after another.

The blazing flames of the Blazing Horned Flame Dragon,

Gulugua of the amphibious fishmen,
The leader of the Black Gold Iron Armored Crab clan, Crab Batian, was still asleep, so Crab Aotian was present.

The great elder of the Silver Scale Frogmen, the leader of the Blue Flag Dolphin Fishmen, Rambo, and the new leader of the Shadow Fishmen, Ying, were all present.

The army generals were Jiang Tao, Ling Pu, Tang Yu, Shen Zhan, and Mu She.

Li Gen, the chief commander of the Yaksha patrolling the sea,
Cangyue, the administrator of the Quanyan space

Cangmu from the Ministry of Industry, You Qi from the Ministry of Agriculture, Jiang Bin from the Administration Department, Mu Yu the fisherman and others have all arrived.

As for Cang Jing, he did not come because he was in Hailing Bamboo Land.

Meng Zheng sat in the hall of the lord's mansion, his eyes sweeping over the clan leaders and stewards of each tribe, all of whom had respect and anticipation on their faces.

"Everyone, thank you for your contributions to the development of our tribe," Meng Zheng spoke first, his voice steady and powerful. "I've gathered you all here today to discuss the future development of our tribe."

He paused, observing everyone's reactions. Seeing everyone listening intently, he continued, "First of all, after this period of development, our tribe has officially shed its name as a tribe and been promoted to a village. From now on, our territory will be Canghai Village!"
