Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 215 New Traces
The hydraulic catapult soldiers follow behind, using their long-range strike capabilities to provide fire support for the shield spearmen.

Silver-scaled frogman scouts are responsible for scouting the enemy and providing intelligence support to the entire unit. This three-dimensional training model enables our soldiers to swim freely in underwater environments, flexibly changing positions up and down, left and right, forward and backward, forming an invincible and powerful army.

"This kind of coordinated combat training is extremely important," Meng Zheng nodded in praise. "In future battles, the coordination between the various arms will determine victory or defeat. Only through mutual trust and tacit cooperation can we unleash our maximum combat effectiveness."

He said to Chao Feng: "Chao Feng, you have done a great job. I am deeply pleased with your military talent and leadership ability. I believe that under your leadership, our soldiers will become even stronger."

Upon hearing this, Chao Feng showed a bright smile on his face.

This was the greatest affirmation and encouragement to him, and he said firmly: "Chief, please rest assured. I will continue to work hard to train more outstanding warriors for Canghai Village."

Meng Zheng looked at Chao Feng's determined eyes and his heart was filled with confidence.

With such a powerful underwater combat force, the future of Canghai Village will be brighter.

As soon as he walked out of the military camp, Gulugua came to greet him: "My king, my king! You are here!"

Seeing Meng Zheng’s figure, the king of the merman tribe, Guluqua, was ecstatic!
He had already become Meng Zhengzhong's dog and seemed extremely happy.

The Tidal Murlocs, a special branch of the amphibious Murloc tribe, are also considered a powerful team in Canghai Village.

However, due to the relatively weak strength of the amphibious fishmen themselves, Meng Zheng has always kept them in Canghai Village as garrison troops.

These days, Guluqua should be patrolling with the tidal murlocs, so why is he here?
Seeing Gulugua's excitement, Meng Zheng, though somewhat puzzled, still greeted him with a smile. "Gulugua, shouldn't you be leading your Tidal Murloc patrol on a mission? How come you have time to come here?"

Gulugua quickly explained, "Your Majesty, we have just completed a patrol and are preparing to return to our base. I heard you were at the barracks, so I came to report on our patrol."

Meng Zheng nodded in understanding. "Very good. Your patrols are crucial to the safety of Canghai Village. Tell me, have you noticed anything unusual recently?"

Upon hearing this, Gulugua's expression grew serious. He lowered his voice and said, "My Lord, there are indeed some unusual circumstances. Recently, while we were patrolling, we discovered some traces of strange creatures in the area towards the mainland."

He glanced around a few times and continued, "I suspect it was left behind by the spies from the mainland you mentioned last time."

Meng Zheng's brow furrowed slightly, realizing this could be a serious problem. "Gulugua, this is indeed a situation that requires attention. Can you confirm that these traces are spies from mainland forces?"

Gulugua nodded, his expression serious and solemn. "My Lord, we're not entirely sure, but these traces differ from the usual patterns of biological activity in our waters. We've been following them for a while, and it seems they're searching for something, or perhaps mapping our waters."

Meng Zheng pondered for a moment, then said, "This is important information. Wait a moment."

He turned to Li You who was following beside him and asked, "Who is responsible for patrolling the mainland area?" This patrol Yaksha who followed Meng Zheng was the deputy commander of the patrol Yakshas. When Li Xun was not around, he was responsible for connecting with intelligence information and other reporting work.

Upon hearing this, Li You hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully, "To the clan leader, the person in charge of patrolling the mainland area is Li Ye. He is currently leading a small team to conduct secret reconnaissance on the edge of the continent."

Meng Zheng nodded, satisfied with Li You's response. "Li You, immediately send a message to Li Ye, reporting on the recent patrol situation. Also, have him conduct a detailed investigation of the area where Gulugua's tracks were discovered, ensuring he understands the true identity and purpose of these strange creatures. Also, increase patrols towards the mainland, and report any suspicious activity immediately."

Li You took the order and left, quickly dispatching a messenger to inform Li Ye. Meng Zheng turned to Gulugua, a flicker of admiration in his eyes. "Gulugua, you did a great job. Your prompt discovery and reporting of this unusual situation demonstrates the dedication of you and your Tidal Murloc Patrol. I'll remember this achievement and will reward you once this incident is over."

Upon hearing this, Gulugua smiled happily and bowed repeatedly in thanks. "Thank you, Your Majesty! We will definitely patrol harder to protect the safety of Canghai Village!"

Meng Zheng patted Gulugua's shoulder and encouraged him, "Excellent! With such determination and confidence, the safety of Canghai Village will be even more guaranteed. Now, take your team back to the base to rest. I'll contact you when there's a new mission."

Guluqua nodded respectfully and left the barracks with his Tidal Murloc patrol. Meng Zheng stood at the barracks gate, watching the departing murlocs and pondering how to respond to any potential threats from mainland forces.

With the continuous development of Canghai Village and Lingze Tribe, the possibility of the mainland intervening in Tianyu Lake becomes greater.

No matter what, such a vast body of water is a treasure trove that cannot be ignored by any force.

Resources, minerals, treasures, meat, etc. are all irresistible temptations for every faction. Therefore, strengthening defenses and ensuring the safety of the homeland has become a top priority.

It was getting late, and Meng Zheng returned to the lord's mansion to continue his cultivation.

The next morning, as soon as Meng Zheng stepped out of the training room, Li You swam over hurriedly.

Seeing Gulugua's excitement, Meng Zheng, though somewhat puzzled, still greeted him with a smile. "Gulugua, shouldn't you be leading your Tidal Murloc patrol on a mission? How come you have time to come here?"

Gulugua quickly explained, "Your Majesty, we have just completed a patrol and are preparing to return to our base. I heard you were at the barracks, so I came to report on our patrol."

Meng Zheng nodded in understanding. "Very good. Your patrols are crucial to the safety of Canghai Village. Tell me, have you noticed anything unusual recently?"

Upon hearing this, Gulugua's expression grew serious. He lowered his voice and said, "My Lord, there are indeed some unusual circumstances. Recently, while we were patrolling, we discovered some traces of strange creatures in the area towards the mainland."

He glanced around a few times and continued, "I suspect it was left behind by the spies from the mainland you mentioned last time."
