Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 162 Departure
Whether it is the Raging Wave Guards or the Blazing Horned Dragon Guards, the number of people is not large, and three days is enough for the Black Gold Workshop to prepare these things.

This trip to the Hushan branch tribe is not only to solve the current problems of monster groups and tribal harassment, but also to consolidate the position of Canghai Village in this sea area and ensure the continuous development of resources and the long-term development of the tribe.

Meng Zheng's decision quickly spread throughout the lord's mansion, and all generals and departments began to make intensive preparations.

After receiving the order, Jiang Tao, Shen Zhan, Chi Yan and Lan Zhu immediately began to prepare their respective armies to ensure that they could reach the best condition within three days and follow Meng Zheng to the Hushan branch tribe.

During these three days, Meng Zheng was not idle. He carefully studied the intelligence about the Sea Wolf Tribe and the Cannon Shrimp Tribe brought back by the Patrol Yaksha, trying to find out the weaknesses of these two tribes.

At the same time, he also communicated with Cangmu, Jiang Bin and others to ensure that the construction of the coral wall and the defense formation could proceed smoothly.

Three days later, everything was ready.

Meng Zheng rode on the Rock Spirit Silver Horned Beast, led the Raging Waves Guards, the Blazing Horned Dragon Guards, the Clam Girl Squad, a group of amphibious murlocs and blue flag porpoise murlocs, and followed by Hong Lei, and headed towards the Hushan Branch Tribe in a mighty manner.

As the team moved deeper into the center of Tianyu Lake, the surrounding environment gradually became darker, and the coral reefs and seaweed grew thickly, making it increasingly difficult to move forward.

Canghai Village is located on the edge of Tianyu Lake, so the water depth is only about 100 meters, but the closer to the center, the deeper the water.

According to the report from the patrolling Yaksha, the lake and mountain of the branch tribe are called mountains, but their depth reaches more than 700 meters.

At such a depth, it is difficult for sunlight to penetrate, and it is basically dark every day.

This is why Meng Zheng didn't plan to go there so early.

Although we have night vision, darkness often brings us fear and depression.

According to Meng Zheng’s plan, the branch tribe will transplant a large amount of luminous seaweed to light up the entire branch tribe.

This way, living there would not be so uncomfortable, but at the same time, if a large number of luminous seaweed were planted, it would be extremely conspicuous and easily attract attacks from monsters.

Therefore, the early monster clearance work is very important. Not to mention clearing out all the monsters within a thousand miles, but also dealing with the areas within hundreds of miles around.

Otherwise, based on the biological instinct to move toward light, the tribe will never have peace.

Meng Zheng has considered everything very carefully. In the early stage, he only built some shacks so that Lingpu's Soul Shooters would have a place to rest.

After the city construction plan is drawn up, we will vigorously carry out civil engineering works and build the tribe in one go.

Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, two tribes had already noticed this place, and they continued to harass Lingpu, making it impossible for the branch tribe to take action.

As expected, the underwater world is no less peaceful than the land, filled with unknowns and challenges. Meng Zheng knew this well, which is why he planned every move so carefully to ensure that the branch tribe could gain a firm foothold in these uncharted waters.

On the way to the Hushan branch tribe, Jiang Tao swam to the side of the Rock Spirit Silver Horned Beast and walked side by side with Meng Zheng.

"Jiang Tao, what do you think is the biggest difficulty for Lingpu in operating with the sub-tribes?" Meng Zheng asked first. Jiang Tao frowned slightly, then pondered for a moment before answering, "I think the biggest difficulty lies in our inadequate understanding of the monster populations and tribal distribution in this area. This has prevented Lingpu from taking the initiative and has left them at the mercy of others."

Meng Zheng frowned, what Jiang Tao said was true.

In these unknown and dangerous waters, understanding and mastering the environment is crucial.

"Indeed, we know too little about this area of ​​water, which will bring great uncertainty to our operations," Meng Zheng said solemnly. "However, this is also an important purpose of our trip. Since Ling Pu alone can hardly handle this situation, with our support, we can definitely gain a foothold in Hushan."

Meng Zheng signaled Jiang Tao, Chiyan and Lanzhu to come over and sit on Honglei's back to chat.

After a period of eating and drinking to excess, Hong Lei's body has finally exceeded 100 meters in length, becoming a true 100-meter giant.

During this period, the three thunder fruits had the greatest effect. Every time he took them, Hong Lei's strength was improved qualitatively, and his body size grew particularly fast.

Touching Hong Lei's broad and strong purple-red back, Meng Zheng was filled with emotion. He didn't expect that the little guy had grown so big now.

Meng Zheng, who is five meters tall, is like an ant in front of the thunder.

The huge size of Hong Lei is like a moving island in the darkness of Tianyu Lake, giving people an indescribable sense of security.

The most important thing is that lightning is constantly bursting out from Hong Lei's horn, illuminating everything around him. Although it attracts many malicious prying eyes, no monster dares to attack due to Hong Lei's terrifying size.

"Hong Lei's growth is truly astonishing," Jiang Tao said softly. "With him, we undoubtedly have a powerful force in this operation."

Meng Zheng looked at Hong Lei with a smile, feeling a sense of pride in his heart.

But he quickly turned his attention back to the main topic and said to the three, "We are about to arrive at the Hushan branch tribe. The environment there is complex and there are many monsters. We must be fully prepared. Jiang Tao, your Crazy Wave War Guards are good at close combat and will be in charge of the branch tribe. When the time comes, they will be responsible for clearing out any monsters that approach the branch tribe."

Jiang Tao nodded, his eyes full of fighting spirit: "Don't worry, clan leader, the Crazy Wave War Guard will live up to your expectations."

"Chiyan, take the Blazing Horned Dragon Guards and Lanzhu's Clam Girl troops and move together to conquer the monster groups in the active volcano area. The monsters there are all creatures with fire-attribute attacks. Your Blazing Horned Dragon Guards are just the right ones, so I'll leave them to you."

Upon hearing this, Chiyan smiled confidently. He said casually, "As you command, Chief. The Blazing Horned Dragon Guard will live up to your expectations and swear to wipe out the monsters in the active volcano area and contribute to the peace of the sub-tribe."

Lanzhu also stepped forward, a determined look on her face. "Chief, Lanzhu will fully cooperate with Lord Chiyan and lead the clam girl team into the waters to explore and eliminate the monsters hiding in the shadows, ensuring the smooth progress of our operation."

"Very good. I feel much more at ease with you here," Meng Zheng said with a smile. "Remember, our goal is to consolidate the sub-tribe's position and ensure the continued development of resources and the long-term development of the tribe."

The four of them responded in unison, their morale high.
