Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 48 Joint Advance
"I see..." Crab Tyrant nodded thoughtfully, "It seems we need to speed up our exploration. Maybe we can encounter other travelers or find some useful clues."

Meng Zheng nodded in agreement. "That's right. We need to improve our strength as quickly as possible so we can better cope with various challenges. By the way, Chief Crab, does your Black Gold Iron Armor Crab Tribe have any special abilities or skills?"

Hearing this, Crab Tyrant showed a hint of pride on his face: "Of course, every member of our Black Gold Iron Armor Crab Tribe is a powerful warrior. As long as we absorb enough metal, we can continuously strengthen our shells and our strength will continue to increase."

"Oh? So powerful?" Meng Zheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xie Batian's tribe had such special abilities.

"You rely on absorbing metals to have so many yellow-level warriors." Meng Zheng finally understood why the Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab Tribe had so many yellow-level warriors.

Xie Batian smiled proudly: "That's right, there is a metal vein in the lake and mountain under my feet. After digging for a period of time, a large amount of iron ore has been mined. Look at this." As he said, he handed the black stone beside him to Meng Zheng to see.

Meng Zheng took the black stone from Xie Batian and examined it carefully, realizing it was indeed iron ore, and of good quality. He couldn't help but marvel inwardly, wondering why the Black Gold Ironclad Crab Tribe possessed so many Yellow-rank warriors. It turned out they possessed such a resource advantage.

"Crab Chief, you are so lucky. With such a metal vein, your strength will definitely continue to increase." Meng Zheng returned the iron ore to Crab Batian and said with a smile.

"Indeed, Chief Meng." Crab Tyrant took the iron ore, his eyes gleaming with confidence. "With this metal vein, the future of our Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Tribe is limitless."

Looking at the iron ore in his hand, Meng Zheng had no idea.

Iron ore is very useful on the road, but it is of no use at all under Tianyu Lake. Meng Zheng is too lazy to look for metal ore.

Because it is impossible to melt it, even if it can be done, it is not very practical and is prone to rust.

Unless there is a way to solve the above problems, metal products will not enter Meng Zheng's sight for the time being.

However, the fact that the black gold iron-clad crabs could use iron ore was indeed beyond Meng Zheng's expectation. This group of big crabs were like gold-absorbing beasts. As long as they continued to eat iron ore, they could extract iron elements and eventually integrate them into their shells. This was also a good method.

"Can your tribe extract iron from iron ore to make weapons?" Meng Zheng suddenly thought of another idea for making weapons and couldn't help but ask quickly.

"No, I know what you mean. I have tried to guide the production of weapons before, but as soon as I absorb it, it will be directly attracted by my shell and cannot be condensed at all." Crab Tyrant said regretfully.

She also thought about becoming an arms dealer, but her ability did not allow it!
"What a pity!" Even so, Meng Zheng didn't think too much about it.

The Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab Tribe is a tribe with great potential. As long as there is sufficient supply of iron ore, this tribe will definitely grow into a behemoth.

But Meng Zheng was not panicked at all. With the spring space in his hands, Meng Zheng believed that it would not be long before the tribe would produce a large number of yellow-level people.

By then, with the ability of the Canghai tribe, it will be no difficulty to capture the black gold iron-armored crab.

"Our tribe is about to start a war. Do you want to join?" Speaking of strength, Meng Zheng thought of the merman tribe again. This group of merman tribes reproduced too fast. Now there are about three thousand of them. Meng Zheng couldn't wait to attack them.

If we don't fight now, the murloc tribe will fully develop and we will have to face the sea of ​​fish.

When Xie Batian heard Meng Zheng mention the war, he immediately perked up and asked curiously, "What war? Who are we going to fight?" Meng Zheng's eyes flashed with a coldness as he said, "The Murloc tribe. They're multiplying too fast. There are already nearly three thousand of them. If we don't deal with them soon, they could become a huge problem in the future."

"What kind of tribe is the Murloc Tribe? Are they also time travelers?" Crab Batian was curious.

"No, it's the indigenous tribe. The fishmen are insidious, cruel, cunning, and full of aggressiveness. If we don't eliminate them, they will easily threaten your tribe and mine." Meng Zheng said seriously.

"A tribe of three thousand people? This shouldn't be a problem for your Canghai tribe!" Xie Batian said, glancing at Li Gen beside him.

As a player in the Eternal Continent, Xie Batian knew very well how terrifying the Xuanjie was to them now. There were at least tens of thousands of people in a city, and the Xuanjie could massacre the whole city.

"That's right, but I don't want to rely solely on Li Gen's strength." Meng Zheng shook his head, his eyes determined. "I hope that through this war, we can improve the overall strength of our Canghai tribe, so that every warrior can grow in battle, rather than relying solely on a few strong ones."

Upon hearing this, Xie Batian's eyes flashed with approval. He understood that Meng Zheng's ambitions lay not just in the short term but also in long-term development. Such a leader was undoubtedly a worthy opponent and a partner worth collaborating with.

"Chief Meng, I agree with your idea." Crab Tyrant nodded. "Our Black Gold Iron Armor Crab Tribe also hopes to train our warriors and improve our strength through this war. Therefore, we will participate in this war!"

Meng Zheng heard this and smiled with relief. He knew that with the Black Gold Ironclad Crab Tribe joining him, this war would be more likely to be won.

"Of course, welcome, Chief Crab!" Meng Zheng said happily, "With your joining, defeating the Murloc tribe will be much easier."

The current shortcomings of the Canghai tribe are mainly that there are too few people and weak defense.

With the addition of the black gold armored crab, not only can part of the attack be shared, but the defensive pressure of the mermaid soldiers can also be reduced.

"Then when do you want to start?" After agreeing to participate in the military operations of the Canghai tribe, Xie Batian also began to get serious.

"Well, I'll go back and prepare. We can start directly in two days." Two days of preparation is definitely enough.

In this battle, Li Gen is the main force, and the others are just supporting.

After the mermaid soldiers become familiar with large-scale battles in the early stages, Li Gen can finish them off directly.

What we need to do now is to ensure that the mermaid soldiers can survive the early battles and accumulate rich combat experience.

"Okay, then you come and inform me when the time comes, and I will lead my black gold crab troops to support you." Crab Tyrant patted his chest with his big claws domineeringly.

　Thanks to Wandering Shanghai for the reward, your support is my motivation!!!

　　At the same time, I would like to thank all the big guys for their recommendation votes and monthly tickets. I will definitely not let you down for your support.

　　Thank you!
