Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 268: Shi Bing
"Li Gen, thank you for your hard work recently. Rest well recently. We will need your help in the Eternal Tournament later!" After listening to Li Gen's detailed report, Meng Zheng had a very clear understanding of the situation in Tianyu Lake. The most important thing now was to adjust his condition. Li Gen smiled slightly and bowed, saying, "My lord, I am only doing my duty. As long as I can contribute to Canghai Village, no matter how hard or tiring it is, it is worth it."

Prepare to fight in the Eternal Championship. As for the battle in Tianyu Lake, I will consider it when I come back.

Ten days passed in a flash. After ten days of intensive preparation, all the soldiers had recovered to their best condition.

The generals of all ethnic groups urgently trained a new batch of soldiers. Although their current strength is still weak, they will surely become a powerful team after a few major battles.

As for the mermaid shield spearmen and hydraulic catapult soldiers who followed the battle, in addition to the original 2000 and 1500 people, an additional 3000 people were selected, bringing the size of the two teams to 2500 and people respectively.

Although these newly selected soldiers are inexperienced, they have mastered combat skills after rigorous training, and are full of high morale and fighting spirit.

The Black Gold Iron Armored Crab clan also added 500 new warriors, now having 2,000 Black Gold Iron Armored Guards.

After such a long period of settling down, Meng Zheng finally unified the amphibious fishmen to fight again. This news made Gurugua very excited.

He spared no expense to increase the number of the three thousand Tide Guards to five thousand in one go.

Meng Zheng didn't know that the most powerful thing about the merman clan is their reproductive ability. Soon after birth, as long as they are provided with food in time, they can grow up in a short period of time.

After joining Canghai Village, the fishman no longer has any worries. He only needs to do his job well and enjoy life comfortably.

This caused the already large tribe of fishmen to continue to multiply and grow, and the population increased rapidly.

The fishmen Meng Zheng had seen before were only from the Lingze tribe. In fact, they were found in various resource points and breeding points throughout the territory.

There are a large number of murlocs distributed everywhere. Wherever they go, a large number of murloc eggs are produced, which are then buried at the bottom of the lake, waiting to hatch.

According to Gulugua, there are now 50,000 merfolk.

If it weren't for the Tidal Murloc's strict requirements, there would also be bloodline restrictions and other conditions.

Gurugua estimated that he could still muster another 5,000-man team, but even so, it would be enough.

After all, no matter what, as the most important labor force in the territory, the amphibious fishmen are needed in all aspects.

Meng Zheng also didn't want to delay the development of his territory in order to improve military strength.

The Blazing Flame Dragon clan still only had 500 Red Flame Dragon Guards going into battle.

In any case, as dragon descendants, it will definitely take a lot of time to increase their numbers. While they have strong combat power, their numbers will also be strictly limited.

All the dragon lords in the center of Tianyu Lake basically face this problem: the number of their people is small and it takes too long to grow up.

Without development for one or two hundred years, it will be difficult to see any results.

However, there is a way to crack this problem, which is to recruit enough vassal races and let your vassals work for the territory and even provide soldiers.

The reason why Longxiang Sihai can become one of the major forces is because of this.

Dragons are naturally powerful beings.

Whether it is the Eastern Dragon or the Western Dragon, as long as it shows up, it can easily recruit a large number of vassals.

If it weren't for the strict restrictions of Longxiang Sihai, which required one to possess Dragonborn blood to join, Longxiang Sihai could easily develop into the largest force, unrivaled.

Meng Zheng knew this very well, so he did not force the Blazing Flame Dragon clan to increase their military strength.

Although the number of warriors of the Blazing Flame Dragon clan is small, each of them possesses powerful strength. After the transformation ceremony, the transformed flame dragon can even become Meng Zheng's killer weapon.

The number of the Black Ice Sea Lions is the same as that of the Dragon Clan, with only seven hundred people remaining.

One is that the habitat of the Xuanbing Sea Lions has not yet been built. The second is that the Xuanbing Sea Lions have extremely high environmental requirements and need a cold environment to meet the requirements of reproduction.

Therefore, Meng Zheng did not ask for much and brought the Xuanbing Sea Lion people with him mainly to enrich the diversity of the team.

In order to prevent the Black Ice Sea Lions from appearing in cold areas such as deserts, Meng Zheng also brought a lot of ice-type spiritual objects, and at the same time filled Shi Han's ice bead with ice power.

This allowed Shi Han to follow Meng Zheng into battle with confidence, otherwise the Black Ice Sea Lions might not be allowed to fight.

The seven hundred Black Ice Sea Lions have good combat effectiveness, although their numbers are a little small. However, they have not been idle for the past ten days and have made use of the resources in the cold waters.

The Black Gold Forging Workshop works day and night, equipping the Black Ice Sea Lions with a series of specially made ice weapons and protective gear.

Shi Han finally doesn't have to fight with a big ice cone, combined with Shi Han's huge body.

A massive frost hammer was crafted specifically for him. This hammer glowed with a faint blue light, creating an air of chill. Its head was inlaid with ice crystals, allowing it to unleash powerful ice attacks, instantly freezing enemies in a large area.

The Black Ice Sea Lions are equipped with ice crystal armor and ice spear swords. The armor emits a faint cold light, which can greatly enhance their defense and agility. The short sword can exert amazing lethality in close combat.

These ice crystal armors are not only strong and durable, but can also reflect some attacks, providing additional protection for warriors.

The Ice Spear Blade is extremely sharp, with ice crystals inlaid on the blade, which can create a freezing effect when attacking, slowing down the enemy's movement speed.

Shi Han looked majestic as he held a huge frost hammer.

He tried the weight and feel of the new weapon and nodded with satisfaction: "This hammer is good, it suits my taste very well."

Meng Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Shi Han, I made this Frost Hammer especially for you. I hope it will help you show your might on the battlefield."

Shi Han bowed and said, "Thank you, my lord. Shi Han will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Shi Bing, who was standing aside, was holding a huge ice crystal battle axe, which emitted a faint blue light. The axe blade was inlaid with ice crystals and was extremely sharp.

Shi Bing stood beside Shi Han, the huge ice crystal battle axe in his hand looked like a toy. "Father, I also want to be like you and fight bravely on the battlefield!" Shi Bing's childish voice revealed excitement.

Can't wait to try out this new weapon.

Shi Han looked at his three-year-old son, his eyes full of pride and love.

He patted Shi Bing's head and said earnestly, "Bing'er, although you are young, you are gifted and will become a great man in the future. However, the battlefield is dangerous and requires not only courage and strength, but also wisdom and patience. You must remember to remain calm at all times and in all places, and never act rashly."
