Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 161 Visiting the Tribe

Finally, Yantie also showed off the exclusive equipment made for the mermaid shield spearman - a huge shield and a sharp spear.

The shield is made of heavy metal, with an exquisite fish scale pattern engraved on the surface, which can withstand the enemy's heavy blows. The spear is made of refined crystal iron ore, with a sharp tip and a crystal-like strength, which can exert powerful penetrating power in battle.

Meng Zheng looked at these newly made weapons and equipment and felt very satisfied.

These equipment will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the warriors in Canghai Village and contribute greater strength to the prosperity and strength of the tribe.

"Yantie, you've done a great job." Meng Zheng patted Yantie on the shoulder and praised him. "These equipment are not only uniquely designed and beautifully shaped, but also powerful and highly practical. I believe that with your efforts, the weapons and equipment of our Canghai Village will become increasingly powerful."

Yan Tie and Hong Zhu smiled.

Yan Tie said seriously: "We will definitely continue to work hard to create more and better weapons and equipment for the tribe."

After Meng Zheng finished touring the entire workshop, he calculated the time and returned to the lord's mansion to continue handling business.

As the situation of the lake and mountains is continuously explored, it is discovered that they are not only rich in resources, but also harbour various monster groups and unique tribes.

Summoning a patrolling Yaksha, Meng Zheng asked directly, "Is there any new news from the Hushan branch tribe?"

Upon hearing this, the patrolling sea yaksha immediately bowed and reported the new information to Meng Zheng in detail.

"My Lord, we have almost finished exploring the Lake Mountain branch tribe, and the surrounding terrain has also been explored. There are a large number of coral reefs scattered around this Lake Mountain, with complex terrain and numerous creatures. Lord Lingpu has been leading troops to fight these days and has wiped out many monster groups.

But the results were minimal. Every time we wiped out a group of monsters, a large number of them would appear the next day. Lord Lingpu sent a message, asking Lord Chiyan to go and help."

"Okay. Come here, tell Chiyan and Lanzhu to bring the Chihorn Dragon Guards and the Clam Girl to support Lingpu in eliminating the monster group." Meng Zheng gave the order directly.

"Yes, Lord!" A patrolling sea Yaksha took the order and left.

"Go on!" He waved his hand and asked the patrolling sea yaksha to continue.

"Yes! Lord Cangmu has already completed the survey of the lake and mountain terrain. He said we can start shipping supplies and building the coral wall and defense formation. I'll leave it to the clan leader to decide."

Meng Zheng nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction with Cangmu's efficiency.

As the chief builder of the tribe, Cangmu has always been very hard-working. Not only does he complete every task conscientiously and responsibly, but he also often comes up with innovative ideas to contribute to the prosperity and development of the tribe.

"Very good, Cangmu did a great job," Meng Zheng praised. "Pass the order down, have Jiang Bin immediately prepare supplies, including coral stones for the coral wall, rune stones for the defense formation, and other necessary materials. Also, organize a capable construction team, led by Cangmu himself, to the Hushan branch tribe to begin construction."

"Yes, Lord!" Another patrolling sea Yaksha took the order and left.

Meng Zheng then asked, "What are the main problems they're facing right now?" Patrol Yaksha pondered for a moment, then replied, "My Lord, the main problem facing the Hushan tribe right now is not only the constant harassment from the monster swarms, but also the constant harassment from two other tribes. This is the main reason why Lord Lingpu requested assistance.

The branch tribe not only has to clear out the monster horde, but also has to deal with enemy harassment. Since there are fewer Soul Shooters, it is difficult to do both, so they can only passively defend.

"Do you know the specific situation of these two harassing tribes?" Meng Zheng asked in a deep voice.

The Patrol Yaksha replied, "My Lord, these two tribes are the Sea Wolf Tribe and the Cannon Shrimp Tribe. They are fierce and skilled in combat, possessing powerful underwater combat capabilities. Lord Lingpu has tried to negotiate with them several times, but has been unable to find anyone to communicate with."

After a pause, Patrol Yaksha continued, "These guys always destroy what we build and then quickly disappear into the coral reefs. There's no chance of contact at all."

"The Sea Wolf Tribe and the Cannoneer Shrimp Tribe, their names sound very unusual. What special abilities do they have?" Meng Zheng asked.

"My Lord, the Sea Wolf Tribe is incredibly cunning and ferocious. They specialize in traps and surprise attacks. Lord Lingpu has ventured deep into the coral reef several times, only to be entangled in their traps. They also move incredibly quickly underwater, and their coordinated attacks are like those of a pack of wolves, making them incredibly difficult to defend against. While their strength isn't exceptionally strong, their speed and agility are truly astonishing."

"As for the Cannon Shrimp Tribe, they possess extremely powerful long-range attack capabilities. They can fire powerful streams of water like cannonballs, with not only a long range but also immense power, capable of easily destroying our facilities around the lake and mountains. Furthermore, they are adept at exploiting the terrain of the coral reefs for concealment and ambushes, making it extremely difficult for us to track their movements."

After listening to the report from the patrolling sea yaksha, Meng Zheng fell into deep thought.

It is indeed not that easy to completely solve the problem of the Hushan tribe.

Now we don’t know whether these two tribes are player tribes or indigenous tribes like the amphibious murlocs.

If the amphibious fishmen are an indigenous tribe like the others, then Meng Zheng can subdue them and use them for his own benefit.
But if it is a player tribe, it will probably be a lot of trouble.

Players are not content with what they have. They are possessive and unwilling to submit to anyone else. Meng Zheng doesn't think they will be like Crab Overlord and simply abandon the entire tribe and merge into Canghai Village.

After much deliberation, Meng Zheng finally decided to go over and take a look.

Although he planned to wait until the situation over there was almost resolved before going there, but judging from the current situation, it would be better for Meng Zheng to go there himself.

Canghai Village has already laid a solid foundation, and there are so many talented people to look after. Meng Zheng no longer has much to do.
It would be better to go to the branch tribe and take charge, which would make it easier to handle related matters there. In Canghai Village, there are patrolling sea yakshas to deliver information, so it doesn't matter whether Meng Zheng is there or not.

"I've decided. Three days from now, I'll personally go to the branch tribe and inform Jiang Tao, Shen Zhan, Chi Yan, and Lan Zhu to lead the Raging Waves War Guard, the Blazing Horned Dragon Guard, and the Clam Girl Squad respectively to set off with me. Give them three days to prepare their armies. Everyone else, stay in Canghai Village and wait for my return."

"Yes, my lord!" The patrolling sea yaksha turned and left.

Meng Zheng touched his chin and asked someone to notify the workshop to make weapons for the expeditionary troops in the next three days. If you want to attack well, you must first have the right tools. Canghai Village already has better weapons and equipment, so naturally they must be fully equipped for the troops.
