Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 114: Investigating the Piranha Tribe

Jiang Tao immediately made arrangements, preparing to join Li Gen in investigating the suspected Tianming people. Meng Zheng remained in the barracks, still pondering a strategy.

Piranhas are powerful in combat, but they are still fish after all. Although they can now use weapons and wear armor after becoming mermen.

But the strength of the Canghai tribe is not bad either. After the expansion of the mermaid shield spearmen, there are now 300 mid-level yellow-level warriors. After forming a mermaid defensive formation, the defense is strong and they are not afraid of the attacks of the piranhas.

The number of hydraulic catapult soldiers has also been expanded to two hundred people. They can fire water bombs at the same time to destroy any enemy that dares to attack.

The most important one is the Crazy Waves Guard. As the most powerful special force of the tribe, it not only gathers the most elite soldiers of the tribe, but is also equipped with sophisticated equipment and weapons. Under the leadership of Jiang Tao, its strength becomes stronger and stronger.

After the last war, the strength of many merman shield spearmen increased dramatically, and they were directly selected into the Crazy Wave Guards, which expanded to 150 people at once, greatly improving their combat effectiveness.

The rest of the troops, such as the Tidal Murlocs, have retreated to the rear to serve as guards because the Murlocs suffered heavy losses and the tribe also needs them to engage in production work.

They are mainly stationed in the Hushan mining area or various resource points to protect the safety of the fishmen and mermaids there.

As for Lingpu's special troops, there are not enough resources to form them at the moment, so we can only consider it after the tribe is promoted to the village level.

At present, Meng Zheng has arranged him to serve as the commander-in-chief of the hydraulic catapult troops, with Mu She as his deputy.

The above are all the military personnel of the Canghai tribe, as well as the Black Gold Armored Guards of the Black Gold Armored Crab clan. This type of soldier has strong defense. Under the leadership of Crab Batian, they can form a double pincer formation and can erupt in extremely amazing battles.

Although the black gold iron-clad crabs are currently in a state of recuperation, it is difficult to conceal the strength of this race.

The Canghai tribe currently has only thirty black-gold armored guards that can be mobilized, all of whom have been sent by Meng Zheng to protect the mining team. The rest are in the process of molting. Once they recover, Meng Zheng will immediately have an army of hundreds of people, saving a lot of training time.

The newly born black gold iron-clad crabs of the Canghai tribe are mainly arranged to mine and collect resources, and they have no spare energy to do other things.

After calculating the military strength at his disposal, Meng Zheng felt more at ease. Not to mention the military strength, Meng Zheng also had a lot of top combat power.

There is no need to say much about the three Xuan-level masters, Li Gen, Hong Lei, and the Golden Armor Overlord. They are strategic units of the Canghai tribe.

Jiang Tao, Cang Yue, Cang Jing, Meng Zheng and Ling Pu, who are at the peak of the Yellow Rank, can all stand on their own.

Captains such as Tang Yu, Shen Zhan, and Mu She have also grown stronger and stronger, barely breaking through to the advanced yellow level.

The 150 Raging Waves Guards all possess the combat power of the peak intermediate Yellow Rank. When they work together, they can fight against the Profound Rank. This is Meng Zheng's greatest confidence.

Not to mention that Meng Zheng himself is also a high-level yellow-level fighter. Once he releases the wrath of the sea god, he can also clash with the black-level.

So although the Piranha clan seems very powerful, it’s actually not that bad, and Meng Zheng is not very afraid of them.

However, one must be on guard against others and act with caution when facing a tribe of players.

The strength of player tribes is often unpredictable. Some may be just newbies, while others may already have powerful combat power and abundant resources.

No one knows whether these players have any powerful hidden cards, but Meng Zheng's development has been smooth sailing so far.

Conquering the Murloc Tribe and becoming compatible with the Black Gold Ironclad Crab Tribe, the performance is already quite outstanding.

But Meng Zheng did not dare to be negligent at all and still faced it with the worst plan.

Be prepared to go to war with the Piranha clan at any time.

Meng Zheng decided to strengthen the tribe's defenses until Jiang Tao and Li Gen returned with detailed intelligence. He ordered an increase in the number and frequency of patrols to ensure security within the territory. He also ordered the craftsmen to expedite the construction of the forge, in case of emergency.

The territory now has a population of 1400 mermaids. Meng Zheng estimates that it will take another week to gather people and directly upgrade to the village level.

Once it reaches the village level, the strength of the tribe will definitely be greatly improved.

Therefore, Meng Zheng did not want to start a war lightly before the tribe upgrade was completely completed. Everything was based on development.

Both the Black Gold Ironclad Crab and the Murloc Tribe suffered heavy losses during the monster siege and urgently needed time to recover.

Although the young of the merfolk grow up quickly, it still takes more than a month. In such a short period of time, it is impossible to further increase the number of the merfolk community.

Only 36 black gold iron-clad crabs can be recruited every day, and the rest are in the recovery stage. It will take at least a week for them to successfully molt. After molting, it will take a few days to harden the shell and recover, which has little impact on the overall strength of the tribe.

Time, Meng Zheng needs time. As long as he has a week of development, the Canghai tribe will not be afraid of anyone.

At the same time, Li Gen had already led a team of patrolling sea yakshas to the direction where the piranha tribe was discovered.

They went deep into the edge of the lake and mountain waters, penetrated into the aquatic grass forest, and prepared to conduct a detailed investigation of the situation of the water tiger tribe.

Passing through the dense aquatic plant forest, every step was taken carefully, for fear of alerting the enemy hidden in this mysterious water.

The water plants swayed gently under the impact of the water flow, as if they were the guardians of nature, quietly watching their whereabouts.

Li Gen gripped the trident tightly in his hand, his eyes revealing determination and vigilance.

As a patrolling sea yaksha, even though he possesses powerful strength, Li Gen still remains extremely cautious.

In this eternal continent, one's own strength is greatly limited, and no one knows what kind of enemy is waiting for them.

Since he suffered a great loss in his previous life, Li Gen, who was named the Star of Great Disaster, has undergone a great change in his personality.

No longer arrogant, but became extremely cautious and low-key to prevent another disaster from happening again.

In this deep water, under the influence of Li Gen's innate ability.

The team led by Li Gen was like ghosts in the dark night, silently moving among the water plants.

As they went deeper, the surrounding water began to become turbulent and the aquatic plants became denser, as if it was a natural barrier set up by nature to protect this secret territory.

Li Gen was secretly alert in his heart. He knew that in such an environment, any slight movement might arouse the enemy's vigilance.

"Everyone, pay attention, maintain formation and don't fall behind." Li Gen ordered in a low voice. His voice seemed a little vague under the rush of water, but the team members could hear it clearly.

They continued to move forward, taking every step with extreme caution, for fear of touching the water plants and making noise.

Li Gen held the trident tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front, and Li Gen's heart suddenly tightened.
