Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 45 Tribal Recent Situation
After leaving the spring space, Meng Zheng felt relieved. The spiritual energy in the spring space was so rich.

Not only can it provide the mermaids with a place to practice, but it also produces new spirit stone crystals every day. In the short time that Meng Zheng had been there, he saw no less than a hundred spirit stones beginning to condense.

As long as we can firmly control the spring space, the tribe's spirit stones will no longer be a problem. We just need to count how many spirit stones can be stably produced every day. This will take time to test.

After all, the spring space has just been formed, and it is possible that the concentration of spiritual energy will gradually decrease later.

Of course, the opposite is not necessarily true.

Anyway, Meng Zheng was very much looking forward to the scene of spiritual energy turning into rain in the spring space.

As for the dragon's essence, there is no good way to use it at the moment, so just ignore it for now. I'll consider cultivating it when I conquer a creature with dragon blood in the future.

After returning to the lord's mansion, Meng Zheng continued to handle territory affairs. As the territory continued to grow, he encountered more and more things.

First of all, there is the issue of food in the territory. Thanks to Mu Yu's hard work in catching fish during this period, he has stored up ten schools of edible fish. Under the management of the fish herder apprentice, these fish can reproduce a lot of offspring every day, providing sufficient food for the tribe.

Now Mu Yu is no longer satisfied with catching ordinary fish, but is constantly looking for spiritual or more valuable fish.

In terms of casting, Hong Zhu has also made great achievements recently. After joining several craftsman apprentices in succession, the current hydraulic catapult cylinder can already meet the daily training needs of the mermaid militia, and there is no need for them to take turns using the same hydraulic catapult cylinder.

While meeting the needs of the army, during this period, the army also began to slowly stockpile various military supplies in preparation for future military expansion and major wars.

Apart from the two more important matters mentioned above, the rest were nothing more than trivial matters related to the territory. After Meng Zheng took a quick look at Jiang Bin's solution, he directly approved it and let him handle it on his own.

With Jiang Bin, a capable person, Meng Zheng doesn't have to worry about many tasks in the territory. He only needs to understand the general situation, and Jiang Bin will handle everything else properly.

After settling the administrative affairs of the territory, Meng Zheng began to consider contacting the people of destiny and attacking the fishman tribe.

The attack on the merman tribe can be delayed for two days. Both the Raging Wave Guards and the Merman Militia need time to train. Although the attacks in these days have greatly honed the soldiers' skills, they are still insufficient in actual combat. It would be safer to train for a few more days.

As for the Tianming tribe, Meng Zheng was more interested.

I have been in the Eternal Continent for so long, but I still haven't found any other players.

Although I have Jiang Tao, Cang Yue and others to communicate with, I still feel a little lonely.

"Someone, ask Generals Jiang Tao and Li Gen to come see me!" Meng Zheng shouted towards the door.

Soon, the patrolling Yaksha who was waiting near the lord's mansion immediately responded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon, the two of them responded to the call and met Meng Zheng at the lord's mansion.

"Jiang Tao, how's the soldiers' training going?" Meng Zheng greeted them upon their arrival. "Chief, the boys are working very hard. All ten of my Raging Wave War Guards have already reached Yellow Rank Five. We've made a great progress and are ready to be used!" Jiang Tao was particularly proud of his soldiers. They led them in daily attacks and slaughters, nearly wiping out the monster colonies in the lake gully.

However, after such rigorous battles, the strength of the Kuangtao Guards grew extremely fast, and they made progress almost every day, which was much faster than Meng Zheng's daily hard training.

Although Meng Zheng practiced every day, it was only for seven or eight hours at most. The rest of the time was spent on territory affairs and inspections, so he didn't have much time for practice.

However, even so, Meng Zheng's current cultivation has broken through to the seventh level of the Yellow Rank, and his strength is progressing very rapidly. With the continuous fusion of his bloodline, Meng Zheng's strength is about to reach its peak. If he wants to break through quickly in the future, he will need to spend time and practice hard, and even need to participate in battles to break through.

"Well, very good. A large-scale battle is about to begin in the territory, so you must be prepared." Meng Zheng nodded, acknowledging Jiang Tao's intentions.

"In addition, the mermaid militias must also intensify their training so that they can be put to use in a timely manner." After thinking about it, Meng Zheng gave Jiang Tao another instruction.

"Yes, Patriarch, don't worry!" Jiang Tao patted his chest and responded confidently.

"There are two main reasons why I've called you here. One is that the spring space in the territory has been opened. If you need to, you can go there to practice and arrange your own affairs." Jiang Tao and Li Gen also need to practice, especially Li Gen. As a Xuan-level strong man, his demand for spiritual energy is very great. These days, in addition to following behind the soldiers and watching, he spends most of his time practicing and constantly improving his cultivation.

The summoned mythical characters have their strength reduced. If they want to restore their previous level of cultivation, they need to practice continuously to improve themselves.

Jiang Tao also has a great need for spiritual energy. He has reached the ninth level of the Yellow Rank. Due to the lack of spiritual energy, he has long stopped practicing and instead focused on training soldiers.

Now that the spring space is open and there is sufficient spiritual energy supply, Meng Zheng naturally thinks of these two great masters. As long as they increase their strength a little, they can bring huge benefits to the territory.

Therefore, even if Jiang Tao and Li Gen were to practice every day and no longer manage the affairs of the territory, Meng Zheng would still fully support them, because strength is the foundation of everything.

"Thank you, Chief!" Jiang Tao said with a bow. "We will definitely make good use of this opportunity, work hard to improve our strength, and contribute more to the territory."

Li Gen also nodded slightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

The opening of the spring space undoubtedly provided him with a rare opportunity to practice.

"Also," Meng Zheng continued, "you must be prepared for the attack on the merman tribe. Although we have sufficient strength, this war is not just about destroying the merman tribe, but also about capturing them and making them contribute to the production and construction of the territory.

Secondly, we need to get the tribe's soldiers familiar with large-scale battlefield battles as quickly as possible and help them grow up as quickly as possible. In the early stages of the main battles, we should let the new recruits take action. When the time is right, we can take down the entire Murloc tribe in one fell swoop."

Meng Zheng's words made Jiang Tao and Li Gen fall into deep thought. They understood that attacking the fishman tribe was not just a simple battle, but also a major layout for the future development of the territory.

"Chief, I understand what you mean." Jiang Tao spoke first. "We will be fully prepared to ensure that in the battle we can not only destroy the resistance of the murloc tribe, but also capture as many of them as possible to add new labor to the territory."

Li Gen nodded slightly and added, "Furthermore, we will also allow the soldiers to be fully trained in battle, especially the new recruits, who need more practical experience to grow. This attack on the merman tribe is a perfect opportunity."
