Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 196 Return to Canghai Village

An, the deputy chief of the Shadow Fishmen, was naturally promoted. His strength was comparable to that of Ying.

But Ying's reconnaissance talent is too strong. If he were not so young, he would have become the leader of the Shadow Fishmen clan long ago.

However, Ying is now able to stand on his own and become a sharp knife under Meng Zheng.

An's ability is actually not bad. He is much older than Ying and has always been the deputy patriarch of the Yingyu people. He has very good sharp intuition and rich experience.

He had been staying in the Shadow Fish Camp to train new recruits for some time. Meng Zheng urgently transferred him here because he saw that there was no one else available under his command.

Speaking of which, the current number of Shadow Fishmen is too small, and there are only dozens of them that can be mobilized. If Canghai Village did not have a stable channel for obtaining patrolling sea Yakshas, ​​it would really be impossible to build more sources of intelligence.

However, the lack of intelligence personnel is also a major problem facing Canghai Village. Meng Zheng is well aware of the importance of intelligence, which is like the eyes of war, allowing them to gain insight into opportunities in complex situations.

Therefore, he will inevitably have to further strengthen the construction of the intelligence network in the future.

Feeling Meng Zheng's gaze, An immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying, "I will follow your orders, Lord!"

"An, I need you to lead a crack intelligence team deep into the central waters to understand the distribution of various forces." Meng Zheng said firmly, his eyes piercing. "Your mission is arduous and important. You must ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the intelligence."

An's expression froze upon hearing this, but then he regained his resolve. He knew the weight of his responsibility, but he also understood that this was a golden opportunity to demonstrate his abilities. So, he bowed respectfully and said, "I will obey your orders, Lord. I will do my utmost to live up to your trust."

Meng Zheng nodded and continued, "This operation is very important. You will only be the vanguard. When Li Gen returns, I will have him assist you. I will also assign you thirty Shadow Fishmen and three hundred Patrol Yakshas. All will be under your command."

After An accepted the order, he further added, "An, on this trip, you must not only understand the specific situation of each force, but also try to understand their internal structure and possible weaknesses. Remember, the level of detail of the intelligence will directly affect our subsequent decisions and actions."

Yami nodded again to show that he understood.

"Okay, then you go down and prepare." Meng Zheng waved his hand, indicating that An could leave.

After secretly saluting, he turned and left.

After An left, Meng Zheng turned to the generals present and said, "Ling Pu has gone to investigate the Xuanbing Sea Lions and probably won't be back anytime soon. But Chi Yan is taking too long to deal with the Sea Wolf Tribe. Jiang Tao, take your men and go take a look. Then quickly have Chi Yan lead the team back."

The discovery of the forces in the central waters filled Meng Zheng with a sense of urgency.

In order to deal with possible crises, all forces must be integrated.

Jiang Tao immediately stood up and answered with a resolute look, "Yes, Chief, I will set off immediately."

Meng Zheng nodded and continued, "The Sea Wolf Tribe is ferocious and cunning. Don't hold back. Wipe them out immediately. Don't let them affect the future development of the Lingze Tribe!"

Fearing that Jiang Tao might have reservations, Meng Zheng gave him a reassurance and told him to go ahead and do it.

Meng Zheng enjoyed conquering vassal races, but not all races could be conquered. Peaceful and less aggressive tribes like the Cannon Shrimp and Silver Scale Frog were naturally the best candidates.

However, if it is a ferocious, warlike, cunning and changeable race like the Sea Wolf Tribe, Meng Zheng would be more inclined to completely eliminate its threat to prevent it from becoming a hidden danger to the Lingze Tribe and even the entire Canghai Village in the future.

A fierce look flashed in Jiang Tao's eyes, and he replied respectfully, "Don't worry, Chief. I will do my utmost and will not tolerate any remnants of the Sea Wolf Clan."

"Alright, now you all have your duties. We've been here for a while, so I'm going to go back to Canghai Village to see what's going on there. I'll let Hong Lei stay here and wait for Li Gen to arrive before sending him back."

After Meng Zheng finished speaking, he glanced at the generals present, stood up, and prepared to end the meeting. At the same time, he was full of anticipation for returning to Canghai Village.

A few days ago, news came that the planting of Bi Bo rice in Canghai Village was basically completed, and Meng Zhengben was preparing to go back.

It's a good opportunity to go back and sort out my thoughts and adjust the future development direction of the territory.

"Everyone, I believe that you can all complete your respective tasks excellently. Zhanghu, although you have a reckless personality, I hope that under the leadership of Xie Batian, you can grow and contribute your strength to the tribe." Meng Zheng looked at Zhanghu with a hint of encouragement in his tone.

Zhang Hu heard this, raised his head and chest, his eyes flashing with determination: "Chief, I will definitely not let you down!"

Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Xie Batian: "Batian, Lingze Tribe is now in your hands. Remember, the fortifications must be reinforced, the warriors must be well-trained, and at the same time, they must remain vigilant and be ready to respond to threats in the central waters at any time."

Crab Tyrant loudly promised, with a confident look on his face: "Don't worry, I, Crab Tyrant, will definitely live up to your trust!"

Meng Zheng smiled faintly and looked at Chi Yu again: "Chi Yu, I'll leave the internal affairs of the tribe to you. Coordinate various matters and ensure that the warriors have no worries. At the same time, you must also pay close attention to the movements in the central waters and report to me in a timely manner."

Chi Yu saluted respectfully: "Yes, Patriarch, I will do my best."

After arranging everything, Meng Zheng prepared to leave.

If you want to go back quickly, Hong Lei is the best choice. As the fastest person in Canghai Village, Hong Lei can send Meng Zheng back to Canghai Village in a short time. An arrived so quickly before.

Meng Zheng swam onto Hong Lei's huge back and said to him, "Hong Lei, thank you for your hard work. Please take me back to Canghai Village."

He firmly attached himself to Hong Lei's broad back and whispered an order.

Thunder hummed softly, as if responding to Meng Zheng's order. Its huge body swayed gently, and then it cut through the water like a black lightning and rushed towards Canghai Village.

As Hong Lei's speed gradually increased, the surrounding water seemed to be drawn in by its massive body, forming whirlpools. Meng Zheng tightly grasped the scales on Hong Lei's back, feeling the lightning-fast speed, and a surge of pride surged in his heart.

"Honglei, you are really the treasure of our Canghai Village." Meng Zheng exclaimed. He knew very well that in such a world full of unknowns and dangers, having a mount like Honglei would undoubtedly add a powerful boost to their actions.
