Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 211 Chiyan is missing
"After this batch of black gold iron-armored crabs come out of confinement, leave them to Crab Overlord for arrangement! If there are outstanding political talents, hand them over to Crab Aotian. In any case, we must fully tap everyone's potential." Meng Zheng said solemnly to Cangyue.

"Yes! Chief!" Cangyue responded seriously.

"Well, if you have nothing else to do, prepare to set off for the Lingze tribe. You will still need to set up the water spirit protection formation there." Meng Zheng continued to instruct.

"Okay, I will bring the formation master apprentices with me and let them get more exposure to formations."

Cangyue nodded, indicating that she understood Meng Zheng's arrangement. "Clan leader, I will select some potential formation master apprentices and let them learn and grow through practice. This time, building the Water Spirit Guardian Formation will be a rare training opportunity for them."

Meng Zheng looked at Cangyue with satisfaction. He knew that Cangyue would complete the task well. "Very good, Cangyue. Your experience is invaluable to our young formation masters. I believe that under your guidance, they will be able to grow quickly and become the future formation masters of our tribe."

Cang Yue smiled and replied, "You are too kind, Patriarch. I am only doing my best. I will ensure that the construction of the Water Spirit Guardian Formation goes smoothly, and that the apprentices learn as much as possible from it."

Meng Zheng stood up, preparing to leave the spring space and return to the Lord's Mansion to continue handling other matters. "That's settled, Cangyue. I look forward to your performance with the apprentices in the Lingze Tribe. If you need anything, please let me know."

Cangyue also stood up and saluted respectfully: "Don't worry, clan leader, I will do my best."

After swimming out of the spring space, Meng Zheng returned to the lord's mansion.

Just as I was about to return to the training room, a patrolling sea yaksha came over unexpectedly.

"Report to the lord, General Jiang Tao has sent a message!" After saying that, he handed a piece of animal skin paper to Meng Zheng.

This piece of animal skin paper was extremely small, only about ten centimeters in size, and had several short lines of words written on it.

Meng Zheng took a look and immediately understood that Jiang Tao had already led his men to the territory of the Sea Wolf Clan.

However, after searching, they found that not only was there no trace of the Sea Wolf Clan, but even Chiyan and other Red Flame Dragon Guards were nowhere to be found.

This made Jiang Tao a little worried. While sending the message back to report, he had already ordered people to search everywhere. Once there was any news, he would reply immediately so that Meng Zheng would not have to worry.

Meng Zheng frowned as he took the parchment and carefully read Jiang Tao's message. He knew the disappearance of the Sea Wolf Clan and the Scarlet Flame Dragon Guard was significant; it could mean they had met with some kind of disaster, or perhaps a larger conspiracy was brewing.

"Pass the order down, let General Jiang Tao continue the search, and at the same time strengthen the vigilance to prevent any accidents." Meng Zheng ordered the patrolling sea Yaksha, his voice revealing an unquestionable firmness.

The patrolling sea yaksha took the order and left quickly, while Meng Zheng fell into deep thought.

The disappearance of the Sea Wolf Clan and the Scarlet Flame Dragon Guards may be related to the existence of various forces in the central waters, or it may be the intervention of other forces.

However, there is no more news now, and Meng Zheng can't make any further decisions.

On the Lingze tribe side, Canghai Village will continue to send more resources and manpower, and talents such as Cangyue will also go there in the near future, so the Lingze tribe should be able to withstand the threat from the central waters.

However, to be on the safe side, Meng Zheng still had to quickly arrange Canghai Village. The most important thing was to go to Lingze Tribe as soon as possible to take charge.

He plotted his next move, deciding to stabilize the rear first before moving forward. He quickly returned to the lord's study and began drafting a series of directives. First, he wrote a secret letter to Jiang Bin, detailing plans for strengthening defenses, increasing patrols, and deploying resources to ensure Canghai Village could protect itself from potential threats.

At the same time, he also instructed Jiang Bin to secretly investigate whether there were any external forces secretly plotting to harm Canghai Village.

Then, Meng Zheng wrote another instruction to General Jiang Tao. In addition to reiterating the importance of continuing to search for the Sea Wolf Clan and the Red Flame Dragon Guard, he also emphasized the importance of strengthening border defense and required all border defense forces to enter a state of combat readiness and be ready to respond to possible conflicts at any time.

After completing these instructions, Meng Zheng summoned a patrolling Yaksha, handed him the letter, and solemnly instructed him, "These letters are extremely important. Be sure to hand them over to the relevant personnel personally and ensure that the contents are not leaked."

The patrolling sea yaksha nodded solemnly, took the letter, and set off quickly with the waves surging under his feet, carrying countless splashes of water.

Rubbing his brows, Meng Zheng no longer had the desire to continue practicing.

At the moment, it is more important to enhance the strength of the territory. With this in mind, Meng Zheng set off for the barracks, where there were new recruits from various tribes, such as Silver Scale Frogmen and Blue Flag Dolphin Fishmen, waiting for his arrangements!
I originally wanted to deal with it tomorrow, but since that’s the case, let’s resolve it as soon as possible!
He walked quickly towards the barracks with firm steps, a clear plan in mind.

In the barracks, new recruits from various tribes, such as the Silver-Scaled Frogmen and the Blue-Flag Dolphin-Mercemen, are undergoing intensive training. As a vassal tribe, they have just joined Canghai Village.

As a soldier who will fight for his life in the future, they still feel a lot of pressure even though they are well prepared.

Especially the Blue Flag Dolphin Fishmen. Looking at the entire military camp training ground, these fat guys were slow and inflexible in every move, which gave the instructors who trained them a headache.

But it’s okay, there are only fifty Blue Flag Fishmen this time, a pure peasant race.

It is really difficult to ask these fat men to go to the battlefield, but considering that each tribe now has soldiers.

In order to prevent the Blue Flag Dolphin people from feeling marginalized, Meng Zheng decided to adopt a more balanced and inclusive strategy. He knew that each race had its own unique advantages, and the size and strength of the Blue Flag Dolphin people could be a great help if used properly.

For example, the Agricultural Security Force is responsible for guarding the Bi Bo Rice Field, which can also reduce the investment of other military forces.

The Blue Flag Dolphin Merman is relatively weak, but his power and size are quite intimidating.

Although he is not good at marching and fighting, it is easy to scare those thieves who are waiting for an opportunity to steal the blue rice.

In any case, most of the dangerous creatures in Canghai Village have been eliminated.

The rest are creatures with weaker strength or not very aggressive.

Not to mention the existence of the Shuiling Mermaid Formation, arranging these Blue Flag Mermaid warriors to defend the farm is also a good use of their talents.

Meng Zheng's decision-making reflects his deep understanding and respect for the characteristics of every ethnic group in the territory.

Each race has its unique value and role. Even the Blue Flag Murlocs, who are not so prominent in military, can play an important role in other areas.
