Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 267 Situation

Upon hearing this, Li Gen nodded slightly and continued to report to Meng Zheng the intelligence he had discovered about other player forces.

"My Lord, regarding the Hard Armor Alliance, it's a coalition of crustaceans known for their sturdy defenses and powerful physical attacks. Its members are diverse, including lobsters, crabs, and turtles. Their combined strength is formidable. From what I've observed, the Hard Armor Alliance isn't particularly eager to expand, and most are content to stay within their own territories. Unless someone intrudes, fighting rarely occurs."

Meng Zheng nodded slightly, expressing his understanding. "Although the Hard Armor Alliance's defensive strategy has limited their expansion, it also allows them to maintain a solid defense against external enemies."

Li Gen continued, "The Dragon Soaring Four Seas guild is made up of various sub-dragon races, and their leaders are also from the Jiaolong race. However, their Qing Jiao clan is a different species from the Jiaolong clan of the Water Tribe Alliance. Relatively speaking, although the Dragon Soaring Four Seas is well-known, the leader of the Qing Jiao clan has only just broken through the Xuan level, and is far behind the Jiaolong King of the Water Tribe Alliance."

"Most importantly, this guild has very strict restrictions, only recruiting lords with dragon blood. Therefore, the number of members is relatively small, and the strength gap between members is large.

But despite this, the Longxiang Sihai Guild should not be underestimated." Li Gen changed the subject, his expression becoming serious, "But each member possesses great potential and unique combat capabilities. According to my observations, many Dragonborn are as powerful as the army under our Canghai Village.

Li Gen's words made Meng Zheng frown slightly. The team that Li Gen could remember must be no simple one.

You should know that the various armies of Canghai Village, in addition to having strong individual strength, are more importantly equipped with complete weapons and equipment, and even various battle formations.

If every member of Longxiang Sihai has such strength, Canghai Village may not be able to defeat them.

After all, the power of the group is the most powerful existence.

Although Canghai Village has gathered many races, there are only two players after all, and Crab Batian is unwilling to take charge.

So when it comes to developing overall strength, we can basically only rely on Meng Zheng alone.

But those guilds are different. They work together and can concentrate more manpower and resources to develop their own power.

"The road to hegemony is full of thorns!" Thinking of this, Meng Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

There are so many powerful people competing for Tianyu Lake alone, so how many chosen ones are there in the entire Eternal Continent?
Not to mention, in addition to these destiny players, there are also many indigenous ethnic groups.

These ethnic groups are extremely large, with great strength and a long history.

Before they came to the Eternal Continent, they already had their own unique culture and powerful strength.

Compared to these indigenous groups, even the most powerful player forces seem insignificant.

Meng Zheng's musings were interrupted by Li Gen's gentle words: "Don't worry, my lord. Although the road ahead is difficult, we are no pushovers. The Hard Armor Alliance may be impregnable, but it has no intention of seeking hegemony. Dragon Soaring Four Seas may have unlimited potential, but its homogeneous internal structure limits its development. And our Canghai Village, despite a difficult start, boasts tolerance and unity, which is our greatest advantage." A firm look flashed in Meng Zheng's eyes upon hearing this: "You are right. Tolerance and unity are the very foundation of our existence. We must more actively recruit elites from all races, while strengthening internal training to enhance our overall strength. Furthermore, we must strengthen alliances with friendly forces to jointly resist external enemies."

"Where does the Water Dragon's Water Lizard Clan rank among the Dragon Soaring Four Seas?"

The water dragon that Meng Zheng has had contact with so far is the only one that can be used as a reference.

In the last conflict between Water Dragon and Crab Tyrant, there was not only a giant water lizard guardian beast, but also a large number of water lizard warriors under his command.

Judging from the strength, his development is similar to that of Crab Tyrant before.

Li Gen thought for a moment and replied, "According to the intelligence I've gathered, the Water Lizard Clan of the Water Dragon doesn't rank very high in the Dragon Soaring Four Seas. Although the Water Lizard Clan possesses dragon blood, their status in the Dragon Soaring Four Seas is relatively middling. The core forces of the Dragon Soaring Four Seas are mainly composed of the Green Flood Dragon Clan, the Green Scaled Dragonborn Clan, and the Silver Horned Dragon Lizard Clan. These races hold a dominant position in the guild."

"Although the Water Lizard Clan is relatively numerous in the Four Seas of Longxiang, their overall strength is not strong, and their bloodline concentration is not high enough, so their decision-making power in the guild is limited."

Meng Zheng nodded slightly, expressing his understanding. "It seems that although the Water Lizard Clan ranks in the middle among the four seas of Longxiang, their strength and potential are still worth paying attention to."

I have a clearer understanding of the status of the water lizard clan in Longxiang Sihai.

"My lord, this time, I mainly investigated these guilds. I didn't have time to investigate Fanjiangdaohai and Longliwang in detail, but I can talk about the situation of other forces first."

Li Gen continued, a hint of regret in his tone. "Besides the Hard Armor Alliance and the Dragon Soaring Four Seas, I've also discovered some other factions. For example, there's an indigenous tribe in the south called the 'Bibo Scaled Snake Tribe.' Their leader, 'Bi Lan,' has not only reached the middle stage of the Profound Realm, but their entire tribe has grown to over 100,000 members, making them incredibly powerful."

"To the west of the central waters lies the 'Lake Rock Tribe.' They are as hard as rock and possess exceptionally strong defenses. Their leader, 'Yan Shield,' can reach over 300 meters tall. Their army is primarily composed of heavy infantry, and their combat power should not be underestimated."

Finally, in the southeast, there's a 'Thunder Eel Tribe'. They specialize in lightning spells and have extremely strong attack power, so I think they also deserve special attention.

As for the Abyssal Sea Serpents, Coral Elves, Tide Crabs, and Lightning Whales the patriarch had mentioned, our subordinates have only discovered the Tide Crabs, located on a stretch of sand in the southeast. This Tide Crabs are indeed exceptionally powerful, with their patriarch estimated to have reached the mid-stage of the Profound Realm. The entire tribe numbers around 50,000 to 60,000. Each Tide Crab stands over 30 meters tall, clad in thick carapaces. They are also adept at harnessing the power of tides to launch attacks, capable of summoning massive waves to drown their enemies. They are truly a force to be reckoned with," Li Gen added.

Meng Zheng stood up, walked to the map, and carefully looked at the distribution of various forces.

"The situation at Tianyu Lake is now very clear. The Hard Armor Alliance, Soaring Dragons, the Azure Scaled Serpents, the Lake Rock People, the Thunder Eel People, and the Tidal Crab People—each faction has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. Use this information to formulate the most appropriate strategy."
