Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 291 The Camp is Surrounded
Just as Xie Batian and others were on their way back, the camp was encountering a terrifying tide of beasts.

Due to the heavy rain, many lords have already known the existence of Meng Zheng and others.

When Meng Zheng conquered the Lion People and the Human Eagle Empire, there were actually many spies secretly watching.

Every lord has his own unique trump card. Even though Meng Zheng has received a lot of inherited memories, he cannot know everything.

In particular, the rainstorm that Meng Zheng brought down demonstrated the considerable strength of Meng Zheng's territory, which inevitably aroused the vigilance of the surrounding lords.

In order to eliminate Meng Zheng's powerful competitors, these guys spontaneously united and attracted hundreds of thousands of monster groups at the cost of human lives.

He attempted to completely destroy Meng Zheng and others in one fell swoop.

This gap is such a coincidence!
It was just when Cangyue and the others left that, apart from the White-browed Crab and the formation master's apprentice, there were only two thousand tidal fishmen and hydraulic catapult soldiers left in the territory.

This was the last early warning force left by Meng Zheng. He originally thought that by arranging each team to attack the nearby teleportation arrays, he could ensure the safety of the camp.

This sudden tide of beasts caught Meng Zheng off guard.

Dense swarms of monsters roared and rushed towards the camp like a black tide.

These monsters have different shapes. Some are huge, and every step can make the earth tremble; some are agile and shuttle through the rain like ghosts.

They all rushed over at once. If Cangyue had not set up the water spirit protection formation before leaving, the camp would have been breached by now.

I saw a huge water mermaid quietly floating in the center of the defense shield covering the entire territory, emitting a soft blue light all over its body. Every inch of its skin looked like flowing water waves, and it was particularly conspicuous in the rainstorm.

Her face resembled Cangyue's, but she didn't show the slightest change in expression when facing the attacks of a large number of monsters around her.

Unless there is an attack that exceeds the limit of the protective shield, the water mermaid will not take any action.

"How many spirit stones are left?" Meng Zheng asked calmly, looking at the huge water mermaid.

Although the water spirit mermaid is strong, the operation of this defensive formation depends entirely on spirit stones to provide energy. Once the spirit stones are exhausted, no matter how powerful the water spirit mermaid is, it will not be able to withstand the overwhelming tide of beasts alone.

Patrolman Li You stepped forward quickly, his expression calm, and he reported in an orderly manner, "Sir, our spirit stone reserves are very sufficient. According to the current consumption rate of the Water Spirit Guardian Array, we can still stably support it for at least two or three months, which is enough to deal with the current crisis."

Li You has followed Meng Zheng for a long time and has experienced many ups and downs. Facing this tense situation, he can still remain calm.

"Yeah!" Meng Zheng was not surprised. This time, he was well prepared for a long-term battle, and all the supplies were prepared in years.

If the monsters' attacks were not too fierce and there was not enough manpower to contain them.

Otherwise, it will be no problem at least for a year or two.

Although lacking in manpower, the Canghai Camp is not without the ability to resist.

The white-browed crabs, tidal fishmen and mermaid shield-spearmen who stayed behind around the camp were at the edge of the formation, constantly attacking the invading enemies.

The outer area of ​​the protective shield was already densely packed with corpses, emitting a strong bloody smell. Under the erosion of heavy rain, blood continued to gather, forming dark red streams that flowed slowly along the terrain.

However, the monsters seemed indifferent to the death of their companions and continued to launch wave after wave of crazy attacks on the camp.

Some of the gigantic monsters, with their astonishing strength, began to use their bodies to try to break through the defenses of the Water Spirit Guardian Formation. Each impact caused the entire shield to shake violently, rippling through the air.

While the monsters were attacking, the Canghai Camp also continued to attack. The white-browed crab raised its huge claws high again, and with a tremendous force, it smashed hard at a giant monster that was madly hitting the protective shield.

With a dull thud, the monster's head was instantly smashed into a cave-in, and its huge body fell to the ground like a collapsed hill, stirring up a cloud of dust and blood.

The tidal fishmen raised their hands high, palms facing up, and muttered something.

The raindrops no longer fell randomly, but intertwined and entangled with each other, gradually forming a huge wave of water.

The wave was only a little over one person high at first, but under the control of the tidal fishmen, it continued to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon turned into a water wall tens of meters high, stretching between the group of monsters and the camp.

The surface of the waves shimmered with ripples, appearing particularly dazzling under the gloomy sky. The tidal fishmen shouted in unison and thrust their hands forward.

The massive wave roared like a mad beast, sweeping towards the group of monsters. Wherever the wave reached, everything was submerged.

Those huge monsters, which had been rampaging on the battlefield with their powerful strength, were now unable to stand steadily under the impact of the waves and were pushed back one after another.

Some monsters tried to resist, clinging to the ground with their sturdy limbs, but the waves were too powerful, and their efforts were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and they were eventually swept into the water. The more agile monsters tried to dodge the waves, but the waves were too wide, leaving them with nowhere to escape.

The waves were like a huge net, enveloping the monsters in front and breaking their originally tight formation into pieces.

The roars and growls of the monsters were drowned out by the roar of the waves, and they fell into chaos for a short time.

They collide and squeeze each other and cannot form an effective offensive force.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the hydraulic catapult soldiers quickly seized the opportunity.

He skillfully adjusted the angle of the sea-blue hydraulic catapult, locking tightly onto the monsters struggling and in chaos in the waves.

With the captain's order, "Fire!", high-pressure water bombs shot out from the hydraulic catapult, like blue meteors, with sharp whistling sounds, cutting through the rain curtain and accurately shooting towards the group of monsters.

These high-pressure water bombs exploded with astonishing power the moment they came into contact with the monsters.

It caused a huge splash of water and blood.

The water bullets exploded on them, tearing the monsters' bodies into pieces, and flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

Under the continuous attacks of the hydraulic catapult soldiers, the chaos of the monster group further intensified.

The formation, which had already been dispersed by the waves, became even more chaotic, making it difficult to form an effective offensive capability.

The situation seems very good, but in fact it is just a drop in the bucket.

No matter how hard the White-browed Crabs, Hydraulic Catapult Soldiers, and Tidal Murlocs fought, the number of monsters did not decrease at all.

On the contrary, there are more and more of them, and even a trend of attacking each other.

These monsters are not originally from the same camp and are hostile to each other.
