Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 102: The Dependence of the Black Gold Ironclad Crab Tribe
Meng Zheng took a deep breath, suppressed his intention to explode the Crab Tyrant, and said directly: "Your tribe is in such a state, how can you continue to develop in Tianyu Lake?"

As Meng Zheng spoke, he handed one of the Golden Armor Overlord's golden thorny feet to Xie Batian.

This is the only complete foot stump collected from the battlefield; the rest have turned into fragments.

Crab Tyrant looked at the broken foot of the Golden Armored Overlord that Meng Zheng handed over and picked it up with his remaining large claws: "My poor Golden Armored Overlord, he was beaten so badly."

As he spoke, he glanced at the corpse of the black beast with resentment.

Meng Zheng said helplessly, "Your tribe is now full of cripples and injuries. You've lost the ability to continue to develop. Even the daily lives of your people have become a problem!"

"Meng Zheng, you're right." Xie Batian's voice was deep and powerful. "My clan has been eliminated."

Just as Meng Zheng was about to comfort him, Xie Batian's tone suddenly brightened again: "Why don't we all join you? Hasn't your tribe already subdued the Murlocs? It shouldn't be a problem for you to accept my Black Gold Ironclad Crab Clan as well!"

"You said you want to join my Canghai tribe?" Meng Zheng was shocked. He didn't expect Xie Batian to say that.

In Meng Zheng's expectation, he would just send some mermaids to stay behind until the Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Tribe resumed production.

Meng Zheng didn't expect that Crab Batian would want to join his tribe so readily, which was beyond his expectations.

No matter what, as the head of a clan, no matter how small the tribe is, you have the power in your hands!
"Well, I want to join you. Developing the tribe is too tiring. I don't like it. I might as well leave it all to you! You are very cunning and very smart. I believe you won't cheat me!" Crab Batian said, shaking his body affirmatively.

Meng Zheng looked at Xie Batian's determined eyes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

"Batian, have you really made up your mind? This is not a trivial matter." Meng Zheng confirmed again. He knew very well that once Crab Batian made a decision, it would mean that the future of the entire Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Tribe would be closely linked to the Canghai Tribe.

Xie Batian nodded vigorously, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Meng Zheng, I've made up my mind. Given our tribe's current situation, it's too difficult for us to continue developing on our own. Your Canghai tribe is powerful, and with someone like you leading us, I believe we'll be able to live a better life if we join you."

"The most important thing is that I haven't found my boyfriend yet, and I think you're the only one who can find him." When he said this, Xie Batian's tone was hesitant.

Meng Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Batian, we can take our time in finding a boyfriend, but first we must ensure the stability and development of the tribe. Since you have decided to join the Canghai Tribe, I will do my best to help your tribe recover and ensure your basic living conditions."

Xie Batian looked at Meng Zheng gratefully and said, "Meng Zheng, I feel relieved with your words." The two smiled at each other and established a deeper friendship and trust between each other.

"Okay, Batian, I welcome you to join the Canghai Tribe!" Meng Zheng said solemnly, "From now on, we are one family. I will do my best to help your tribe resume production and rebuild our homeland."

Meng Zheng also had some understanding of Crab Overlord's thoughts. This woman didn't like development and construction work. The previous Black Gold Iron Armored Crabs had always been handled by Crab Overlord, while she herself had been practicing all the time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have such terrifying strength now, leading a group of big crabs to withstand the siege of so many giant beasts.

This also shows that Crab Tyrant is more suitable for charging into battle and is not suitable for being a lord.

Forcing her to do these things only gave her a headache. Taking this opportunity to get rid of this trouble might actually be a good thing for Xie Batian.

With the addition of the Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab Tribe, the strength of the Canghai Tribe was further enhanced.

"Batian, this place is too far away from my Canghai tribe, and it is not convenient for centralized management. You may have to come back with me to Canghai tribe and settle down." After looking at the surrounding environment, Meng Zheng finally proposed to Xie Batian.

The Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab Tribe is not close to the Canghai Tribe, and it takes a long time to run there every time. Moreover, separating the two places is not conducive to coordinated management.

Not to mention that the black gold iron-armored crabs are mostly wounded now, and Meng Zheng has to mobilize a lot of people to take care of them, which is even more inconvenient.

Why not just give up the lake and mountains and move everyone to the Canghai tribe?

After hearing Meng Zheng's proposal, Xie Batian was slightly stunned, and then agreed: "You are the boss, you have the final say."

"Then there is no time to lose, let's prepare for migration now." Meng Zheng said decisively.

Crab Tyrant shook his body, waved his big claws, and called Crab Aotian over: "This is our new boss, you have to listen to him from now on!"

Is Xie Aotian a bit confused? He doesn't understand what his clan leader means.

Seeing Xie Aotian's expression, Xie Batian said impatiently, "This tribe leader has already decided that we will merge into the Canghai tribe. Tribe leader Meng Zheng will be our new boss. As my little brother, you naturally have to listen to him. Do you understand?"

As he spoke, he kept knocking on Crab Aotian's carapace with his big claws. This bad boy has been bothering me all the time. Now, I'll find you a new boss. Are you happy now?
After hearing this, Xie Aotian was a little surprised, but he quickly adjusted himself. He knew that the clan leader's decision was irreversible. He saluted Meng Zheng respectfully, expressing his loyalty and obedience.

"Chief Meng Zheng, I, Xie Aotian, swear allegiance to you on behalf of the Black Gold Iron Armor Crab Tribe. From now on, we will stand together with the Canghai Tribe and face the challenges of the future together." Xie Aotian's words were firm and powerful, showing his determination for the future.

Meng Zheng smiled and nodded, expressing his appreciation for Xie Aotian's statement. "Xie Aotian, welcome to the Canghai Tribe. I believe that with your joining, our strength will be even greater. Let us work together to contribute to the prosperity and development of the tribe."

Meng Zheng also knew about Crab Proud Sky. He could be said to be the only wise man in the Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Tribe, and was much smarter than Crab Tyrant, the unreliable patriarch.

Since the establishment of the Black Gold Iron Armor Crab Tribe, Crab Aotian has undertaken all the development tasks of the tribe.

If you ask who looks more like the patriarch, it’s definitely Xie Aotian!
Crab Overlord is just his general who fights against bandits.

Xie Aotian also understands Xie Batian's indifference. Xie Aotian knows that the tribe is in such a state now that it can no longer survive independently. It can either rely on the Canghai tribe or wait to be swallowed up by other tribes.

Obviously, the clever Crab Aotian has made his own decision.
