Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 41: The Mermaid Militia's First Battle

The mermen soldiers sprang into action upon hearing the command, quickly gathering before Meng Zheng, their ranks neat and their morale high. Meng Zheng surveyed these rigorously trained soldiers, a surge of pride welling in his heart.

"Today, we will embark on a journey to test the results of our training and to obtain the glory and resources that belong to us!" Meng Zheng's voice echoed in the soldiers' ears, stirring the blood in their hearts.

Following Meng Zheng's order, forty mermaid soldiers quickly mounted the Earth Abyss Beasts that had been waiting on the side.

A mermaid beast that is over ten meters long can easily carry ten mermaid soldiers.

In order to increase the mobility of the soldiers of the Canghai tribe, Meng Zheng equipped them with ten earth beasts to facilitate the mermaid soldiers to shift the front line at any time.

As the patriarch of the Canghai tribe, Meng Zheng naturally has a Diyuan beast mount that belongs to him alone. This Diyuan beast is the most powerful one in the Diyuan beast clan.

Compared with ordinary abyssal beasts, it is only seven or eight meters long, and the silver horns on its head are like sharp swords in the deep sea, ready to stab the enemy at any time.

Its entire body is covered with a dense layer of brown scales, which is very different from the ordinary hairy earth beasts.

This is a silver-horned rock spirit beast that has evolved through its bloodline. There is only one such beast in the entire Abyss Beast clan. It is hard to say whether there will be more in the future.

The mermen soldiers sprang to action, quickly gathering before Meng Zheng in neat formation and high morale. Meng Zheng surveyed these rigorously trained soldiers, as well as the abyssal beasts poised for action beside them, and a surge of pride welled up in his heart.

"Today, we will face our first battle to test the results of our training and obtain the glory and resources that belong to us!" Meng Zheng's voice echoed in the soldiers' ears, arousing the passion in their hearts and their desire for unknown battles.

Fifty mermen quickly mounted the waiting Earth Beasts. These Earth Beasts, with their streamlined bodies and powerful tail fins, swam as swiftly as arrows through the water, becoming the mermen's right-hand men in the battle at Tianyu Lake.

Meng Zheng was riding the Silver Horned Rock Spirit Beast that had undergone bloodline evolution. Compared to ordinary abyssal beasts, it was more slender, but its strength and speed were even more astonishing. Its brown scales shone with a mysterious light even in the water.
When they dive in and begin to swim quickly in the water, the surrounding water seems to make way for them.

The Silver-Horned Rock Spirit Beast took the lead and rushed to the front. The four Earth Abyss Beasts following behind were not to be outdone. They followed closely behind and continued to advance towards the lake.

Soon they arrived near the eastern lake. There were many monsters here, with varying strengths, but it was precisely this kind of environment that could forge true warriors.

The lake water was cut into streaks by the swift swimming of the Silver Horned Rock Spirit Beast and its companions, which were like sharp blades cutting the water surface.

Meng Zheng rode on the Silver Horned Rock Spirit Beast, his eyes as sharp as torches as he scanned the surroundings, searching for a suitable target for battle.

"There's movement ahead!" a mermaid soldier suddenly shouted. His voice echoed in the water, but did not cause panic. Instead, it inspired everyone's fighting spirit.

Meng Zheng looked in the direction the soldier pointed, and saw a group of lake monsters of various shapes swimming slowly towards him.

Some of these lake monsters were massive, as big as small mountains; others were agile and incredibly fast. But no matter how powerful they were, in the eyes of Meng Zheng and his merman soldiers, they were nothing more than a whetstone to test their own strength.

"Drop to the bottom of the lake and prepare for battle!" Meng Zheng gave an order, and forty mermaid soldiers quickly adjusted their formation and landed on the back of the Abyss Beast, forming an indestructible circular formation.

The Silver-Horned Rock Spirit Beast let out a deafening roar, its eyes flashing with brutality, as if declaring war on these lake monsters.

Following Meng Zheng's command, the Silver-Horned Rock Spirit Beast launched a charge. Its speed reached its peak in the water, and like a flash of silver lightning, it instantly plunged into the herd of lake monsters. Countless stone spikes emanated from its sharp silver horns. With a flick of its head, the stone spikes streaked through the water and flew towards the herd of lake monsters.

The rest of the abyssal beasts followed closely behind. They used their streamlined bodies and strong tail fins to hold up shields, moving flexibly in the water and continuously attacking the lake monsters.

The protective shield of the Earth Beast is very thick. No matter how the lake monsters attack, they can never shake the Earth Beast at all.

On the contrary, the constant impact of the Earth Abyss Beast destroyed the formation of all the lake monsters, making it difficult for them to surround and attack Meng Zheng and others.

The mermaid soldiers used their superb underwater combat skills to engage in a fierce battle with the lake monsters.

The water bullets and spears shot out from the hydraulic catapult drew graceful arcs in the water and accurately hit the vital points of the lake monster.

The Silver-Horned Rock Spirit Beast displayed its amazing strength. Its silver horns were like sharp swords in the deep sea, constantly piercing the bodies of the lake monsters and defeating them one by one.

Fifteen female mermaid soldiers held hydraulic catapults, and each time they could accurately hit the lake monsters' weaknesses and completely smash their bodies.

Twenty-five male mermaid soldiers, holding spears and shields, protected the female mermaid soldiers behind them and tried their best to block the attack of the lake monster.

Use the spear in your hand to stab every lake monster that dares to approach, and use the shield to hit the guy who rushes towards you.

Meng Zheng floated in the air, using water snakes to protect the safety of the mermaid soldiers' heads, preventing lake monsters from attacking from above their heads and creating a safe fighting range for them.

The four earth beasts were commanded by Meng Zheng to continuously attack the lake monster formation, preventing the lake monsters from concentrating on dealing with the mermaid militia. This provided great help to the mermaid militia, allowing them to concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of them.

The most powerful Silver-Horned Rock Spirit Beast continuously attacks those lake monsters as big as hills. These lake monsters look like slimes. Although they are huge in size, they move very slowly and rely entirely on the action of water flow to move forward little by little.

As long as the Silver-Horned Rock Spirit Beast rushes into the bodies of these lake monsters, constantly rushing left and right, and destroying the core of the lake monsters, it can easily kill a large lake monster.

The mermaid militia only needs to deal with ordinary lake monsters. Meng Zheng will use water snakes, water guns, water arrows, water walls, etc. to eliminate lake monsters that are beyond the strength of the mermaid militia in advance.

After all, this is the first battle of the mermaid militia. Meng Zheng doesn't want to put too much pressure on them. As long as they can put into practice what they have learned in daily training and don't make any mistakes, Meng Zheng will be very satisfied.

As the battle deepened, the lake monster's corpse gradually filled the entire bottom of the lake, and its jelly-like body floated everywhere in the water.

Countless lake monsters were about to drown the mermaid militia, and they were piled up into a big ball.

Seeing that all the merman militia had begun to adapt to the battle, Meng Zheng began to speak.

"Tang Yu! Are you going to be suppressed like this? Attack! Show your might."
