Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 103 Forging Workshop

"Aotian, how many people are left in your tribe now? How many can function normally, and how many need recuperation?" Before relocating, Meng Zheng needed to understand the situation of the Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Tribe clearly.

"Chief Meng Zheng, there are only more than 500 tribesmen left now. More than 100 of them can carry out normal activities, and the rest need time to rest." Xie Aotian said carefully.

As early as when Meng Zhengkan was investigating the post-war situation, Xie Aotian was already counting the situation of the black gold iron-armored crabs.

The result was very pessimistic. The black gold iron-clad crabs, which were already few in number, suffered heavy losses, not to mention the deaths of their own members.

Those that survived basically had their shells shattered and their claws damaged.

As an exoskeleton species, if the shell is damaged, it will cause serious injuries at best and sudden death at worst.

The fact that so many members of the tribe can still survive even with their shells damaged is a sign of the Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab's extraordinary talent.

Most of the remaining tribesmen who could move had lost two or three spiny feet or pincers. It can only be said that their carapaces were not damaged and they had completely lost the ability to move.

Meng Zheng frowned slightly when he heard this, but then relaxed again.

For the Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab Tribe, this loss was indeed heavy, but being able to save these tribesmen was already a blessing in disguise.

"Aotian, I understand the situation of your tribe. Don't worry, our Canghai tribe will fully support your recovery and reconstruction." Meng Zheng's tone was firm, revealing his unquestionable determination.

"Thank you, Chief Meng Zheng! Our Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Tribe will do our best to contribute to the prosperity and development of the Canghai Tribe." Xie Aotian responded excitedly, his tone full of gratitude and determination.

Meng Zheng smiled and nodded, satisfied with Xie Aotian's statement. He turned to Xie Batian and said, "Batian, since you have decided to join the Canghai Tribe, we must arrange the migration as soon as possible. Given your tribe's current situation, it is not advisable to delay too long."

Upon hearing this, Crab Tyrant immediately waved his claws in agreement. He knew that for the current Black Gold Iron Armor Crab Tribe, migrating to the Canghai Tribe was the only way out.

So Meng Zheng immediately began to arrange the specific matters of migration.

He mobilized the elite forces of the Canghai tribe, including mermaid warriors and various logistics personnel, to assist the Black Gold Iron Armored Crab tribe in migration.

The black gold iron-clad crab is extremely large, each one is at least seven or eight meters in size.

For a ground beast that is about ten meters long, it can only carry one black gold iron-armored crab.

The Canghai Tribe had only a little over 150 Earth Abyss Beasts. Excluding those that could not be mobilized, a total of 100 Earth Abyss Beasts rushed to the Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Tribe.

Meng Zheng had already made up his mind. If one trip didn't work, he would make a few more trips. He had to bring all the black gold iron-armored crabs back to the Canghai tribe.

The planning of this lake and mountain is really poor. There are nothing but pitted rocks and pitted rocks. There are no special buildings at all.

However, the Black Gold Iron Armor Crab Tribe also has some good things. The first is the Black Gold Iron Armor Crab's exclusive formation, the Black Gold Iron Armor Formation. This is a gold-attribute formation. Once it is activated, it contains extremely strong defensive power. This time it was able to withstand it, and the Black Gold Iron Armor Formation played a significant role.

Although this formation cannot be taken away in its entirety, the spirit stones and special materials can still be dug out. As long as the formation diagram is there, the Canghai tribe can build more black gold iron armor formations.

The second is the Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab Hatching Pool. Like the Canghai Tribe, this hatching pool increases the population summoning according to the territory level.

However, with the Black Gold Ironclad Crab joining the Canghai Tribe, the Black Gold Ironclad Crab's tribe level will never be able to be upgraded, and it can only summon a maximum of 36 people per day. Finally, there is the Black Gold Ironclad Crab's Black Gold Forging Workshop. As a metallic creature, the Black Gold Ironclad Crab has a very abnormal talent for controlling metal.

However, because the Black Gold Iron Armor Crab's fighting method is mainly based on its claws, it has no intention of making weapons. This led to Meng Zheng not seeing any weapons during his several encounters with it.

If Crab Aotian hadn't mentioned it to Meng Zheng, Meng Zheng would never have known that the Black Gold Armored Crab had such an ability.

The weapons of the Black Gold Ironclad Crab are not forged by melting and forging with flames like humans do. Instead, it directly absorbs the gold energy from the metal ore and uses its innate abilities to transform it into a sturdy weapon.

Weapons made with this ability are not only of higher purity, but also sharper and more durable.

The most important thing is that each of the Black Gold Iron-Armored Crabs is a master of metal ore exploration. As long as there is metal ore, the Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab can find it directly.

Although Meng Zheng already had a mineral detector, it would be great to have more means of searching for mineral veins, which made Meng Zheng very happy.

While Meng Zheng was observing the situation of the Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Tribe, the second batch of Black Gold Iron Armored Crabs had been transported back to the Canghai Tribe.

Jiang Bin also followed the second batch of earth beasts to meet up with Meng Zheng.

With the smooth migration of the second batch of black gold iron-clad crabs, Meng Zheng felt a little more relaxed.

"Jiang Bin, you're just in time." Meng Zheng saw Jiang Bin coming and immediately asked, "How's the tribe doing?"

"Chief, don't worry, everything is fine in the tribe. Lord Cangyue's injuries have recovered and he has returned to the spring space to continue his cultivation. The repair work on the city wall has also been completed, and the injured tribesmen have been sent to the clinic and received proper treatment." Jiang Bin looked a little tired, but his report was still very detailed and reliable.

Meng Zheng felt a little relieved after hearing Jiang Bin's report.

He nodded, expressing his understanding of Jiang Bin's hard work, and said, "Jiang Bin, you have worked hard."

Jiang Bin smiled and shook his head, indicating that this was what he should do.

He continued, "Chief, I've also made some preparations for the Black Gold Ironclad Crab tribe's migration. We've prepared spacious temporary housing for the Black Gold Ironclad Crabs and provided them with sufficient food and medical resources to ensure they are properly accommodated and cared for during the migration."

Upon hearing this, Meng Zheng nodded approvingly.

Migration requires not only strong forces for carrying and escorting, but also thoughtful arrangements and meticulous services to ensure the comfort and safety of the black gold ironclad crabs.

At present, the black gold iron-clad crabs can only lie still and have no way to live independently. Meng Zheng has to arrange people to take care of them until these big crabs complete their molting and grow back their broken limbs.

Jiang Bin's preparations were very thorough, which made him feel very relieved.

"Very good, Jiang Bin. Your preparations are very thorough, and I am very satisfied." Meng Zheng said, "Next, we must continue to closely monitor the progress of the Black Gold Ironclad Crabs' migration and ensure that all Black Gold Ironclad Crabs can successfully reach the Canghai Tribe. At the same time, we must also ensure their daily needs and allow them to adapt to their new environment and life as quickly as possible."

"Yes, Patriarch, I will arrange it!" Jiang Bin nodded firmly.
