Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 195 Dark

Meng Zheng also understood the Thunderbolt Shrimp. Although this monster could not release thunder and lightning, its every move was incredibly fast, like thunderbolt. Once it targeted someone, basically no one could escape.

Zhang Hu was a very reckless guy. He performed very well in the last attack on the Cannoneer Shrimp Tribe and was highly praised by Meng Zheng and Jiang Tao.

I didn't expect that he would make a fool of himself again because of his recklessness so soon. No wonder he was so timid. He probably couldn't save face.

Zhang Hu scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "Chief, I was in a hurry at that time. When I saw those Thunderbolt Shrimp surrounding me, I just wanted to deal with them quickly. As a result, I forgot about the Crazy Wave Hundred Battle Formation."

Hearing this, Meng Zheng shook his head slightly and said earnestly, "Zhang Hu, on the battlefield, you must not be impatient. You must remain calm to make the right judgment. Although you were lucky enough to be saved this time, if you make the same mistake again next time, I'm afraid you won't be so lucky again."

Zhang Hu nodded repeatedly, with an expression of having learned something. "Chief, I understand. I will pay attention in the future and never make the same mistake again."

Jiang Tao echoed, "The clan leader is right, Zhang Hu. As warriors, every charge into battle is a test of life and death. Your bravery is commendable, but bravery doesn't mean recklessness. Remember, a true warrior is one who can remain calm in critical moments and use their brains to defeat the enemy."

Meng Zheng then turned the topic back to business. "We now have a certain understanding of Shuilong and the Longxiang Sihai Guild, and we also have a preliminary understanding of the other forces in Tianyu Lake. Next, we need to develop a detailed plan to deal with any problems that may arise."

"Chi Yu, the Lingze tribe is definitely not far from the central waters. You may have to face invasions from enemies in the central waters at any time in the future. As the administrator of this tribe, what are your thoughts?"

Chi Yu's expression was solemn upon hearing this. She thought carefully for a moment, then said, "Chief, although the Lingze Tribe is located in a remote area, now that we know the situation in the central waters, we must be prepared. I believe we should strengthen the tribe's fortifications and improve the combat capabilities of the warriors. At the same time, we should also actively collect intelligence and understand the enemy's movements."

Meng Zheng nodded, agreeing with Chi Yu's opinion: "You are right, defense and intelligence are the top priorities. So what do you think should be done?"

Chi Yu continued, "We can take advantage of the geographical environment surrounding the Lingze Tribe and set up some natural barriers, such as placing some reefs or underwater traps in the waters to hinder the enemy's attack. At the same time, we can also build some defensive towers on the edge of the waters and arrange long-range soldiers and secret guards to guard them. Once the enemy is discovered, we can immediately launch a long-range attack."

Meng Zheng nodded approvingly, his eyes sweeping over each of the generals present. "Very good, Chi Yu, your suggestion is very accurate. Next, we will deploy according to this idea."

He turned to Xie Batian, "Batian, haven't you always been bored? This time, I appoint you as the temporary commander of the Lingze Tribe. You will command the Black Gold Armored Guards and Zhanghu's four hundred Raging Waves War Guards. As for Lingpu, I will have him give half of the Shocking Waterfall Soul Shooters to Commander Mu Musk. Later, I will form a Shrimp Man Guard of seven hundred artillerymen, a total of three thousand people, all in your hands!"

Jiang Tao and Ling Pu are both Meng Zheng's most capable subordinates, so naturally they cannot stay here.

Whether it is the enemy from the mainland or the forces from other directions, Meng Zheng must reserve enough manpower to resist them.

However, Crab Batian himself is also very capable. After all, he is the leader of a clan. His management ability may be a little worse, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, Meng Zheng believes that Crab Batian will not let him down.

The Lingze Tribe was newly established, but its military strength was not lacking. Zhang Hu was a reckless person, but with the even more reckless Xie Batian around, it was likely that there would be a different chemical reaction. Mu Musk, needless to say, demonstrated excellent military command ability when leading the hydraulic catapult troops.

After following Ling Pu, he made great progress, and even his personality became a little colder.

With the assistance of two capable generals, Crab Overlord will probably not have to worry much.

Not to mention that among the Black Gold Armored Guards, there is also the outstanding general Xie Jingtian.

As the exclusive general given by the system to Xie Batian to manage the legion, Xie Jingtian has very good military capabilities. Half of the reason why Meng Zheng dared to hand over the commander of the Lingze tribe to Xie Batian was because of Xie Jingtian.

"Really? Hahaha! Okay, just leave it to me!" Crab Tyrant was overjoyed, waving his big claws up and down, almost tearing down the meeting hall that was built with great difficulty.

Chi Yu, who was watching from the side, was terrified and looked at the conference hall that was about to fall apart with heartache. He quickly reminded: "General Batian, please pay attention to the strength. This conference hall was built with great difficulty."

Only then did Crab Tyrant realize that he was too excited. He quickly put away his claws, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Sorry, sorry, I was so excited that I almost forgot about it."

Meng Zheng couldn't help but laugh at this. He knew that Xie Batian was straightforward and had no ill intentions. So, he coughed lightly and brought the conversation back on track. "Alright, Batian, you are now the temporary commander of the Lingze Tribe. You must be mindful of your words and actions and set a good example for the soldiers."

Hearing this, Xie Batian's expression froze, and he nodded seriously: "Yes, Chief, I understand."

Meng Zheng then continued to lay out his plan: "Batian, after you take over the army, you must immediately begin strengthening the fortifications and training the soldiers. At the same time, you must closely monitor the movements in the central waters. If you discover any signs of enemy intrusion, report it immediately and respond accordingly."

Xie Batian responded loudly: "Yes, Chief, I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Chi Yu. "Chi Yu, as the administrator of the tribe, you will be responsible for coordinating all matters within the tribe and ensuring that the warriors have no worries. At the same time, you must also actively collect intelligence to provide strong support for our strategic planning."

Chi Yu replied respectfully: "Yes, Chief, I will do my best to contribute to the safety and development of the tribe."

"We have already grasped the general intelligence of the central waters. The next step is to thoroughly understand the distribution of various forces in the entire central waters." Having said that, Meng Zheng looked at An, the deputy chief of the Shadow Fish people who was following beside him.

As Li Gen, Li Xun, Ying and others were assigned to carry out various tasks, Meng Zheng really couldn't find any available reconnaissance experts for a while.
