Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 272 Zemo
Since there are only a few thousand ordinary lion warriors, there is no need to send special forces legions into battle.

3000 mermaid shield spearmen and 2500 hydraulic catapult soldiers will have no problem dealing with this group of lion people.

Tang Yu and Ze Bo responded in unison: "Yes, Chief!"

After saying that, he took quick action and began to command the mermaid shield spearmen and hydraulic catapult soldiers to prepare for battle.

3000 mermaid shield and spearmen quickly formed a defensive formation. The shieldmen held up their shields to form a solid line of defense, while the spearmen held spears, ready to attack at any time.

Although these mermaid shield spearmen are just ordinary soldiers, they have undergone rigorous training and have good coordination, so their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

The spears and shields equipped by the mermaid shield spearmen are even more carefully crafted, and are masterpieces carefully created by the craftsmen of the Black Gold Forging Workshop.

The spear, named "Crystal Wave Thorn", is made of sea-spirit bamboo. It is tough and light, and can maintain excellent stability and flexibility even in the unpredictable environment of water.

The spearhead is made of rare crystal iron ore, which has been polished to an extremely sharp edge after thousands of hammerings. After being blessed with various runes, it shines with a faint blue light, easily penetrating the enemy's armor and delivering a fatal blow.

The shield is the "Tide Shield", which is also the proud work of the craftsmen.

It is both lightweight and has amazing defensive power.

More importantly, when stimulated by spiritual power, the Tide Shield can form a Tide Shield to protect the safety of the Mermaid Shield Spearman.

Wearing Canglan battle armor, holding a crystal wave spear, and carrying a tide shield, he is armed to the teeth.

At this moment, facing the lion soldiers who were about to charge, the mermaid shield spearmen were already on full alert.

They held high the "Tide Shield", with spears like a forest, and their sharp eyes pierced through the rainstorm, tightly locking onto the enemies in front of them.

The formation was tight and orderly, like an insurmountable city wall.

The hydraulic catapult soldiers were scattered on both sides of the shield spearmen. They held hydraulic catapult tubes and wore Canglan battle armor.

After so many years of improvements, today's hydraulic catapults have changed greatly.

The tube body is still made of Hailing bamboo, but the overall changes are huge.

But the surface is covered with a thin layer of spiritual pattern metal, which not only enhances its durability, but also makes the hydraulic catapult more stable during launch and reduces energy loss.

The muzzle is specially designed to adjust the pressure and direction of the ejected water flow as needed, greatly improving combat flexibility and accuracy.

These beautiful mermaid women, their fingers lightly resting on the trigger of the catapult, their eyes flashing with calmness and determination.

Zebo is a newly promoted outstanding general. Although she is a woman, her temperament is not weak at all.

Now he has successfully transformed into a blue-tailed mermaid, and his strength is not much worse than Tang Yu.

Ever since Mu She was assigned to the Soul Shooter of Jingpu, Ze Bo has replaced Mu She.

Responsible for the training and command of hydraulic catapult troops.

This battle was also the first battle that Zebo followed Meng Zheng into.

Meng Zheng did not intend to participate in the battle command of Tang Yu and Ze Bo.

How can we grow up without going through hardships?

The generals following Meng Zheng also hid their bodies and, using the cover of the heavy rain, quietly observed the upcoming battle.

As the lion team gradually approached, they finally discovered the figures of Tang Yu and others.

Seeing the merman spearmen bracing for battle, the lions roared, their steps growing heavier and more powerful, as if they were about to crush the enemy to dust. "Everyone, get ready, aim!" Sawabo's voice was clear and calm, her finger gently resting on the trigger of the catapult.

"Fire!" With Sawadari's order, 2500 hydraulic catapult soldiers pulled the trigger at the same time, and high-pressure water poured out like a rainstorm, instantly covering the lion team.

The water formed white tracks in the rainstorm, and the lions roared in pain. Many lions were hit by the high-pressure water flow and fell to the ground struggling.

The lion soldiers who were not hit by the high-pressure water flow let out earth-shattering roars. They quickened their pace and rushed straight towards the defense line of the mermaid shield spearmen like a group of running beasts.

Faced with the lion soldiers' overwhelming attack, the mermaid shield spearmen were not afraid. They held their spears tightly and prepared for battle.

When the lions rushed forward, the mermaid shield spearmen responded quickly.

The shieldmen raised their tide shields high, forming an indestructible line of defense.

Those lion men who tried to break through the defense line were blocked by the shining spiritual light on the tide shield and were knocked to the ground one after another.

The spearmen used the flexibility of the Crystal Wave Thorns to continuously stab through the gaps in the shields, accurately hitting the enemy's vital points.

Although the lion soldiers were ferocious, their offensive gradually slowed down due to the tacit cooperation and superb skills of the mermaid shield spearmen.

At the same time, Tang Yu stood in front of the formation, calmly observing the situation on the battlefield. He constantly adjusted the formation of the shield and spearmen to ensure the stability of the defense line.

Tang Yu's command style is completely different from Shen Zhan's. He is best at keenly capturing every detail on the battlefield and responding quickly.

Each of his commands was like a carefully choreographed dance, allowing the mermaid shield spearmen to maintain a high degree of coordinated combat even in the chaotic battlefield.

"Team Four, move two steps to the left and fill the gap!" Tang Yu's voice was particularly clear in the heavy rain.

He keenly noticed that some lion warriors were trying to break through the gap in the defense line on the left and immediately gave orders.

The shield bearers responded quickly, and the line of defense formed by the tide shields was adjusted instantly, filling the gap that the lion warriors tried to exploit.

Seeing this, a more majestic and powerful lion-man roared, brandishing a huge battle axe, and tried to break through the defense line himself.

However, just as he approached, he was pierced by several crystal wave spears at the same time, and blood splattered.

"Concentrate on attacking the lion man!" Tang Yu gave the order again.

The spearmen quickly adjusted the direction of their attack and aimed their spears at the lion leader.

The tip of the Crystal Wave Thorn, blessed by runes, flashed with blue light, and each strike carried powerful penetrating power.

Although this lion-man was strong, he was unable to withstand the concentrated attacks of the mermaid shield-spearmen.

He let out a roar of pain and was eventually stabbed by several spears and fell to the ground.

On the other side, Sawadari commanded the hydraulic catapult soldiers to continue the attack.

They flexibly adjusted the angle and strength of the hydraulic catapult according to the movements of the lion soldiers.

Streams of high-pressure water drew graceful arcs in the air and hit the target accurately.

The lion soldiers began to seem overwhelmed by the continuous attacks.

Their steps became unsteady and their fighting effectiveness was greatly reduced.

The mermaid warriors became braver and braver as the battle went on. They kept shouting and cheering themselves up.
