Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 53: Crab Tyrant in Human Form

The battle was over quickly, but the post-battle procedures took a whole day.

A lot of effort was spent on guarding the murloc captives, handling the battlefield, and counting and collecting supplies.

Jiang Bin specially dispatched hundreds of mermaids to the fishman tribe to resolve all the issues.

After all, there are only forty mermaid militiamen, and they are all used to guard more than seven hundred fishman captives. All logistics are counted by Cangyue and Cangjing, which makes the two beauties extremely anxious and troubled.

However, with Jiang Bin joining, the two of them had more time and no longer had to worry about these trivial matters. Jiang Bin was very capable and quickly arranged everything in an orderly manner, making all matters clear and understandable.

Seeing that someone had taken care of the post-war situation, Meng Zheng found Xie Batian and asked, "Batian, how are you? Is anyone injured?"

In today's battle, the Black Gold Ironclad Crab clan contributed a lot, took most of the attacks, and killed many fishmen.

"There's no problem at all, I'm in great shape!" Crab Tyrant said proudly as he patted his chest with his big claws.

Meng Zheng nodded, expressing his satisfaction. "Your clan contributed greatly to this battle. We intend to share half of the captured supplies with you. As for the murloc captives, how about I keep them all? What do you think?"

Crab Tyrant waved his claws to show his agreement: "Of course no problem, I'm just here to join in the fun, I don't want these guys even if they're given to me!"

Meng Zheng smiled. He and Xie Batian had been getting along very harmoniously over the past few days.

"Batian, do you think it is necessary to occupy this place?" Standing at the highest point of the island, Meng Zheng was a little hesitant.

This is the central point where Tianyu Lake connects to the river, and it is a piece of land formed by the impact of the river.

Although the area is not small, it is extremely barren, not to mention that it has been ravaged by the fish people for almost a month. Now it is full of potholes and in ruins.

But if the Canghai tribe has the idea of ​​advancing to the land, this small island will be a bridgehead and is very worth occupying.

Hearing this, Crab Tyrant spun his eight legs around and waved his large claws: "This place is so shabby, is it necessary to occupy it?"

"The strategic location of this small island is very important. If we can use it properly, it may become a key step in advancing to the land in the future." Meng Zheng said in a deep voice.

"You still want to expand to the land?" Xie Batian didn't expect that Meng Zheng's ambition was so big.

"Of course, although underwater resources are abundant, there are too many restrictions. Whether it is food production or weapon forging, it is more convenient on land than on the water." Meng Zheng explained to Xie Batian.

"Then how can we occupy this place?" Crab Batian was a little curious.

"We can't take care of this place right now. The population is too small to garrison here. We can only set up a simple outpost and send a small number of patrol Yakshas to take turns guarding it. This will ensure that this place is not occupied by others, and we can quickly occupy and develop this land when we are ready."

Hearing this, Crab Tyrant's eyes flickered, and he patted Meng Zheng's shoulder with his large claws: "You are really thoughtful. You deserve to be able to develop the tribe so well."

"I will arrange for people to build an outpost under this island later. Do you want to participate?" As an ally, Meng Zheng still considers Xie Batian's ideas.

"No, my Ironclad Crab clan doesn't know how to do this. I'll leave everything to you. When you need a fight, come to me." Crab Tyrant waved her claws indifferently. She was not interested in these at all.

If she hadn't come here by accident, she would have been a spoiled girl who was comfortably enjoying the care of her boyfriend at home.

But after coming here, he had to worry about everything by himself, and had to face battles and various troubles. Crab Batian was already tired of it.

Now that I have finally found a supporter, I naturally don’t want to worry about too many things anymore.

"Meng Zheng, can you change back into human form?" Crab Batian suddenly asked.

"It's okay! But I haven't tried it yet!" Faced with Xie Batian's question, Meng Zheng was stunned for a moment.

Since transforming into a mermaid, Meng Zheng has maintained this appearance and has never reverted to human form. However, Meng Zheng spends most of his time underwater, and if he were to transform back into human form, he would likely drown, so there's no need for him to do so.

"Then try changing yourself. I want to know if you wear clothes when you turn back into human form." Crab Tyrant said shyly.

Oh~ Meng Zheng understood. Crab Tyrant wanted to change back into human form, but was afraid that he would have no clothes to wear.

Meng Zheng could understand this. After all, she was a girl, and after traveling through time, she turned into a big crab.

It is normal to feel uncomfortable, so Meng Zheng directly activated his skills and contacted the Mermaid King to transform.

As the white light dissipated, Meng Zheng's body began to shrink slowly, returning to his previous human height.

Finally, the dragon's tail separated and turned into two feet again.

During this period, when Meng Zheng was transforming, he could clearly hear the system prompt sound, asking whether to automatically put on the clothes.

Yes! Meng Zheng replied.

The person who finally appeared in front of Xie Batian was a handsome young man wearing a linen shirt and black pants.

"Batian, change back into human form. The system will directly assign you a set of clothes. You don't have to worry about having nothing to wear." Meng Zheng shouted to Xie Batian.

Meng Zheng in her mermaid form was more than five meters tall. Even though she looked ten meters tall like Crab Tyrant, one could still feel her size.

However, the crab is mainly wide horizontally, and in terms of height, Meng Zheng can still look down on Crab Tyrant.

But after changing back into human form, Crab Tyrant's terrifying body is really scary.

Her shell covered with spikes and her ferocious claws were full of oppression.

Crab Tyrant looked at Meng Zheng's image and activated his skills directly. His whole body was covered in iron-black light and shrank little by little.

Eventually, she turned into a tall and majestic young woman.

"Hehe, I finally regained my unparalleled beauty!" The woman was very happy. She cast a spell to summon a water mirror and kept observing her appearance.

After changing back into human form, one's own magic power will not disappear. The skills and spells mastered during the transformation can still be used in human form, and the strength has not been reduced too much.

"Batian, you are so strong!" Meng Zheng was a little surprised when he saw the image of Xie Batian. It was rare to see such a tall and strong woman.

"Hahaha, I used to be a boxing coach and have been boxing for more than ten years." Xie Batian laughed nonchalantly. "My boyfriend is also a boxer, and I'm his coach."

"Oh, I see!" No wonder Crab Tyrant loved to use his big claws to hit people when he was fighting before. It turns out he had practiced it.

"Yeah! I just don't know where this guy has gone. If I find him, I will definitely give him a beating." Crab Tyrant waved his strong arms and said domineeringly.

"Okay, Batian, I want to go back to the tribe. Do you still want to stay here?" Seeing that everything was almost done, Meng Zheng prepared to go back.

Next, he had to arrange various tasks for the fish people, as well as their accommodation, care, etc. Meng Zheng was very busy.

"You go back first! I want to feel my human image. I haven't stretched for a long time." Crab Overlord waved his hand indifferently and told Meng Zheng to leave quickly.

"Okay, I'm leaving! Cangyue, take all the murlocs and the seized resources and go home!" After saying that, he summoned the Silver Horned Rock Spirit Beast, and Meng Zheng rode on it directly and headed towards the Canghai tribe.
