Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 223 Troubled Times
"Remember, as scouts, your primary mission is to gather intelligence, not engage the enemy head-on." A patrolling Yaksha instructor sternly addressed the Silver-Scaled Frogmen, his voice brimming with undeniable authority. "While carrying out your mission, you must remain concealed and minimize detection by the enemy."

The silver-scaled frogmen listened attentively to the instructor's explanation, their eyes gleaming with determination. They knew that only by mastering these skills could they maximize their effectiveness on the battlefield and contribute to their people and homeland.

"Also, you must learn to utilize your surroundings," a shadowfish instructor continued, his figure looming in the water, seemingly blending in with the surroundings. "Underwater, you can use rocks and aquatic plants for concealment. On land, the dense jungle and complex terrain will also be of great help to you."

Meng Zheng stood on a high platform in the military camp, his gaze fixed on the intense training of the Silver Scale Frogmen below. Originally a resident of the deep sea, these frogmen, under Meng Zheng's meticulous training, were gradually demonstrating their potential as scouts. Their movements were becoming increasingly agile, and their perception of the environment was constantly improving.

The patrolling Yakshas, ​​with their rich experience and keen intuition, taught the Silver-Scaled Frogmen the techniques of how to hide in complex and changing aquatic environments, track targets, and quickly transmit intelligence.

The Shadow Fish used their natural stealth and speed advantages to demonstrate how to approach the enemy without being detected and obtain important intelligence.

Meng Zheng felt quite gratified as he watched the silver-scale frogmen gradually grow during training.

"Everyone, keep working hard. I believe you can become excellent scouts." Meng Zheng loudly encouraged the Silver-Scaled Frogmen, his voice filled with trust and expectation. "As long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome any difficulties."

The silver-scaled frogmen responded in unison: "Yes, Lord!" Their voices were full of determination and confidence, and their eyes sparkled with longing for the future.

At the same time, Meng Zheng was constantly refining their tactics and strategies. He knew that only thorough preparation could lead to victory on the battlefield. He divided the Silver Scale Frogmen into several small groups, each responsible for different tasks and areas, to ensure they had a comprehensive understanding of the enemy situation.

In the ensuing battle, the Silver-Scaled Frogmen will play a crucial role. They will infiltrate enemy territory, gather intelligence on the mysterious army, and provide strong support to Meng Zheng, Jiang Tao, and the others. At the same time, they will also serve as a link between the various races and forces, promoting cooperation and coordinated operations among them.

Just as Meng Zheng was observing the training of the Silver Scale Frogmen, a patrolling sea yaksha swam over hurriedly.

"My lord, General Xie Batian is here to report!" As he said that, he handed a piece of animal skin to Meng Zheng.

"Aquatic Alliance?" Meng Zheng frowned slightly as he looked at the information on the animal skin paper in his hand.

It turned out that a few days ago, an envoy from the Water Tribe Alliance came to the Lingze tribe and invited Xie Batian and others to join the Water Tribe Alliance.

After Xie Batian's stern refusal, he gathered a group of people and began to harass the development of Lingze tribe. Not only did they block the surrounding resource points, they also repeatedly provoked Xie Batian. If Chi Yu had not stopped them, the two sides would have fought long ago.

The Lingze tribe currently has a shallow foundation and has not yet established a protective formation. Once a war breaks out, the Lingze tribe, which has been developed with great difficulty, will easily be destroyed.

Currently, these guys from the Water Tribe Alliance don’t know the strength of the Lingze Tribe. Once they find out that the Lingze Tribe has no guarding formation, they will definitely not be as provocative as they are now.

Instead, they directly attacked the tribe and plundered all the people and resources.

Meng Zheng held the animal skin tightly, knowing that the Lingze tribe was in a very dangerous situation.

The importance of the guarding formation is unquestionable; it is the last line of defense for the tribe's safety.

The Lingze tribe without a protective formation is like a city without walls, and may be attacked by the enemy at any time.

"We must build a protective formation as soon as possible. This is the top priority." Meng Zheng said in a deep voice, "Notify Jiang Bin to speed up the collection of supplies. I will lead people to the Lingze Tribe in three days."

The Lingze Tribe was facing increasing pressure. Whether it was Longxiang Sihai or the Aquatic Alliance, these large guilds in the central waters were coming to their aid one after another. Not to mention the Shadow Mermaids, a renegade tribe that was eyeing Canghai Village covetously. This showed the extent of the pressure the Lingze Tribe was currently facing.

Although Canghai Village is also facing pressure from the mainland, the situation of the Niu people is unclear and the mysterious forces are nowhere to be found.

But as long as the Shuiling Guardian Array is there, Canghai Village doesn't have to worry about being attacked by anyone.

Meng Zheng received the news that Canghai Village was attacked by the enemy. Relying on Hong Lei's speed, he could come to the rescue in the shortest time.

Considering both factors, it is more important for Meng Zheng to be in charge of the Lingze tribe.

Jiang Bin and others are in Canghai Village, and Cangyue is also in charge of the Hailing Bamboo Spirit Land next to it. They can all support each other and share the pressure. Meng Zheng is relieved about this.

"Send someone to notify Cangyue and others that they will set off in three days and ask them to be prepared." After thinking about it, Meng Zheng decided to send someone to notify and take them all to Lingze tribe at once.

The patrolling sea yaksha took the order and left. Before Meng Zheng could sort out his thoughts, another piece of information was handed to Meng Zheng.

This time it was Jiang Tao's message.

This time it was Jiang Tao's message.

Looking at Jiang Tao's message, his brows furrowed. The situation was more complicated than expected.

The Aquatic Alliance had just emerged when a Dragon Carp King appeared. According to Jiang Tao's description, the Dark Rock Demon Lizardmen they repelled this time were not much weaker than the Wild Waves Guards.

With his own strength, he was able to defeat the blazing Red Flame Dragon Guard and the Sea Wolf Clan, which shows his strength.

Not to mention that when facing Jiang Tao, the commander of this army took out three treasures in succession and finally successfully covered his team's retreat.

Their behavior and conduct show sophistication and cunning, which shows that everyone under the Dragon Carp King is no ordinary person.

"It's a turbulent time!" Meng Zheng had a headache.

As soon as we touched the central waters, the challenges we faced came like a surging tide.

I thought my territory had already developed beyond many people, but with so many enemies appearing at once, it was really hard to deal with them.

"I'll leave this to you. You must train them well for me!" Meng Zheng said to the patrolling sea Yaksha and shadow fishman instructors beside him.

After saying this, he left the military camp training ground and went to the lord's mansion.
