Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 101 The Ruined Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab Tribe
With the end of the battle, the entire Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Tribe became turbid, with red, black, and blue blood everywhere, and broken limbs and corpses were everywhere.

"Lan Che, clean up this place." Meng Zheng shouted to Lan Che.

"Okay, Patriarch!"

Meng Zheng frowned as he looked at the tragic scene. Every battle would cause chaos in the entire water area. Living in such an environment would inevitably lead to big troubles.

Now, whether it is the Canghai Tribe or the Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab Tribe, cleaning up the post-war mess has become the most troublesome thing.

The wreckage can be given to Hong Lei, Diyuan Beast, fish, etc. for consumption, but how should we deal with the blood mixed in the water?

In fact, membrane maker Lan Che can solve this problem.

Lan Che released a big bubble. As the bubble formed, dark liquid began to accumulate inside. As more bubbles continued to accumulate, the surrounding waters became clearer.

This is another use of the membrane maker. Through the bubbles he creates, he can absorb the pollution sources in the water by himself, whether it is blood, venom, or even bad things. Lan Che's bubbles can store them and then find another way to deal with them.

Meng Zheng watched Lan Che operate skillfully, and couldn't help but admire the ability of this membrane maker even more.

"Lan Che, your ability is getting stronger and stronger." Meng Zheng praised sincerely.

Lan Che smiled slightly, a humble look on his face: "Thank you for the compliment, Patriarch. This is just what I should do."

At this moment, Xie Batian finally arrived. She looked extremely miserable. Only five of her eight thorny legs remained, her carapace was mostly broken, and one of her claws was missing. She looked very miserable. "Meng Zheng, it's a good thing you came, otherwise my tribe would have been destroyed."

There was a hint of relief in Xie Batian's words. She looked around, fear in her eyes.

This battle was so brutal that nearly half of the black-gold iron-armored crabs were killed, and even the guardian beast, the golden-armored giant crab, was dying.

The shell all over its body was shattered, its eight legs were destroyed, and its claws were tattered, completely losing its ability to fight.

It would take a lot of time to recover, and it would have to evolve to get the lost shell back.

Most of the other black-gold iron-armored crabs also had mutilated limbs. If Meng Zheng had not arrived in time this time, they would have really been wiped out.

Meng Zheng patted Xie Batian's prickly feet and consoled him, "Batian, we are from the same hometown. It's only natural for us to help each other."

Crab Tyrant nodded gratefully and said firmly, "Meng Zheng, I will remember this favor. From now on, your Canghai Tribe will be the ironclad ally of my Black Gold Iron Armor Crab Tribe. If you need anything, just come to me and I will definitely help you."

Meng Zheng laughed heartily. "Batian, you're too polite. This is what I have to do." He turned and said, "This time the monsters attacking the city are very strange. My Canghai tribe has at least twenty beasts beyond the Yellow level attacking, and your tribe actually has a Xuan-level beast. This is too difficult!"

Meng Zheng had thought that it would be very difficult for the monsters to attack the city, but monsters of this intensity were attacking the city with the intention of destroying all tribes.

If there had not been enough strong men in the Canghai tribe to hold on, they would have been destroyed long ago.

The Black Gold Iron Armor Crab Tribe was even more outrageous, directly bringing in a Xuan-level behemoth. If the two tribes hadn't combined their strength to forcibly kill the Black Obsidian behemoth, the Black Gold Iron Armor Crab Tribe would have been completely finished. This made Meng Zheng start to wonder if there was something he had overlooked.

Hearing this, Crab Tyrant frowned, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Meng Zheng, now that you mention it, I remember it too. The number is truly ridiculous. My Golden Armor Tyrant was beaten to a pulp.

Speaking of the Golden Armor Overlord, Crab Overlord felt distressed. When he saw him, he thought he was going to be pickled alive. There was only a crab body left.

Meng Zheng nodded, his eyes penetrating. "I have an idea. Perhaps these monsters are acting according to our strength." He confirmed, "Before I came to support you, although there were many monsters, if you continue to hold out, you might be able to repel them."

"But after my Canghai tribe joined, the Black Obsidian Beast appeared soon after, which led to our tragic defeat."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xie Batian's eyes. She carefully recalled the process of the battle and it was indeed as Meng Zheng said. When the Canghai tribe joined the battle, the situation deteriorated rapidly. The appearance of the Black Obsidian Beast made the entire battle fall into a desperate situation.

"Could it be that the appearance of these monsters is related to our strength?" Crab Batian murmured to herself. She had never heard of such a rule, but the situation before her forced her to re-examine this possibility.

Meng Zheng nodded, his expression solemn. "I just thought of that, too. If our strength grows, the monsters we attract will also become stronger. Then the purpose of this monster siege isn't just to destroy us, it's more like a test of our strength."

"Test?" Xie Batian frowned. She didn't understand why there would be such a test, and she didn't understand what kind of secret was hidden behind this test.

Meng Zheng sighed and said, "I'm just guessing. But no matter what, we must remain vigilant and be prepared to face stronger enemies. Although this battle is over, we must take this into consideration if we encounter such a situation in the future."

The brutality of this monster siege was far beyond Meng Zheng's imagination. He thought that clearing out the nearby monster groups in advance was a good move that could weaken the strength of the monster groups.

The result was still like this. Not to mention the Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Tribe, they suffered heavy losses. Except for a very small number that still retained combat effectiveness, the rest of the Black Gold Iron Armored Crabs were completely paralyzed and could not even guarantee basic movements.

As for the Canghai tribe, the fishmen lost more than two hundred, and the mermaids lost more than one hundred. These were losses caused by close combat after the monsters climbed onto the city wall.

The bodies of mermaids and fishmen are too weak. Currently, the tribe’s armor is equipped to the army. Ordinary mermaids have no protective ability at all, so injuries are inevitable.

Thinking of the situation of the black gold iron-armored crab, Meng Zheng hesitated again, wondering whether to station troops here.

Meng Zheng's gaze wandered between the devastated Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Tribe and the exhausted tribesmen after the war, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Stationing troops here will undoubtedly provide the Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Tribe with the most direct protection, but it will also greatly disperse the power of the Canghai Tribe. The most important thing is, it is not certain whether Crab Tyrant is willing or not?

Xie Batian was obviously unaware of Meng Zheng's troubles, but he could see that he looked unhappy, so he asked directly.

Meng Zheng's eyes lingered on Xie Batian for a moment, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Batian, what are your plans for the future?"

Hearing this, Xie Batian was a little confused: "Plan? What plan?"
