Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 58 Canglan Battle Armor
"Can these armors change with body size?" Looking at the slightly smaller armor in front of him, Meng Zheng was a little hesitant.

As an underwater race, the size of mermaids will continue to grow as their strength changes. If their armor does not have the ability to change, the replacement rate will be very high, which is very unfavorable for the army's deployment.

"Haha, clan leader, don't worry, we are all aware of this," said Old Tang with a smile, stroking his beard.

Elder Tang said proudly, "I call this armor the Canglan Battle Armor. Not only can it be changed in size as I wish, it also possesses extremely powerful protective power."

"Let me try it on." Meng Zheng asked the patrolling sea yaksha beside him to put on the armor for him.

"Chief, let me do it!" Old Tang said quickly.

He took the armor beside him, and several nearby shell masters came forward to help.

This set of armor is divided into two sets, one is the upper garment, which perfectly fits the ergonomics. Whether it is the neck or the arms, it is tightly covered and very thick.

The other cylindrical set is designed based on the mermaid's tail. Just insert the tail into the center position and it can be put on directly.

While putting on the armor, the plates of the armor kept shrinking and changing. The armor, which was originally a big gap compared to Meng Zheng's 5-meter height, fit perfectly when he put it on, without a single gap.

Meng Zheng moved around casually for a few times and felt quite comfortable, without any tightness or discomfort.

It is relatively heavy. Meng Zheng estimated that it is at least 300 kilograms. An ordinary human would probably be crushed by it.

However, as a cultivator, the mermaid can still wear and move around relatively freely.

With a gentle wave of his arm, the armor spun flexibly without any hindrance. He nodded with satisfaction and said to Master Tang and the Shellsmiths, "Excellent! This armor is both flexible and strong. You did a great job."

Hearing this, Mr. Tang smiled with satisfaction: "As long as the clan leader is satisfied."

"Let's try out its protective effect!" Meng Zheng swam out of the workshop and let the patrolling sea yaksha attack him.

In the open waters outside the workshop, Meng Zheng, wearing the Canglan battle armor, prepared to test its protective effect.

Cruising in the water, his body was agile, and his armor was flashing with a cold light under the impact of the current.

"Chief, be careful!" Patrolling Yaksha, trident in hand, swam swiftly from a distance, ready to attack. He took a deep breath, gathering all his strength. The trident traced a silver trail through the air, heading straight for Meng Zheng.

Meng Zheng silently said "Just in time" in his heart, without moving his body, he just waved his arm lightly. The armor plates of Canglan battle armor seemed to sense his thoughts, and instantly became harder, emitting a faint light.

"Dang!" The trident collided with Canglan's armor, making a crisp metallic sound. Patrolling Yaksha felt a surge of force, sending him flying backwards, the trident in his hand flying out of his grasp.

Meng Zheng, however, only swayed slightly, his body remaining stable. He looked down at his armor and saw only a shallow scratch, which instantly returned to its original state, as if it had never been attacked.

"Excellent!" Meng Zheng couldn't help but exclaim in praise. "The protective effect of this Canglan battle armor is truly outstanding. Your Shell Masters have made an invaluable contribution!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Tang and the other Carapace Masters all smiled with pride. They knew that the armor they had crafted for the tribal warriors had been recognized by the tribe leader.

Meng Zheng carefully examined the armor on his body and was very satisfied. This armor not only changed with the body shape, but also possessed powerful protective capabilities, which would definitely be a great help to the warriors on the battlefield.

After the test, Meng Zheng returned to the workshop and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Master Tang and the other carapace technicians. He knew that only well-equipped soldiers could be invincible on the battlefield. All of this was inseparable from the hard work and selfless dedication of Master Tang and the other carapace technicians.

"Master Tang, your team of carapace masters is truly a treasure to our tribe." He turned and asked, "How much inventory do you have now? How many sets of Canglan battle armor can you forge every day?"

Elder Tang responded slowly, "Chief, there are already 21 sets of battle armor stored in the warehouse. Currently, there are only three armor masters in the tribe. I can forge three sets of Canglan battle armor a day, and Xiao Cang and Xiao Jiang can forge two sets."

Meng Zheng nodded. Seven sets of battle armor were produced every day, which had already met Meng Zheng's expectations. 21 sets of battle armor plus the 70 sets of armor that could be produced in the next ten days could basically arm the Raging Wave Guards and some mermaids in close combat.

As for other mermaids, they can ask armorer apprentices to make some simple armor for them. Although it lacks the blessing of magic, it should be enough for temporary use.

Meng Zheng said with emotion, "I hope you can continue to carry forward this spirit of striving for excellence and create more and better equipment for the tribe."

Elder Tang nodded in agreement, promising to live up to expectations and continue providing the tribe's warriors with the highest quality equipment. The other Carapace Masters also expressed their willingness to contribute to the tribe's prosperity.

After leaving the workshop, Meng Zheng prepared to find the membrane maker Lan Che to learn about his recent work situation.

Lan Che has been in the territory for quite some time, but Meng Zheng seldom sees him. He is either making bubbles or on his way to make bubbles. He is very busy.

As the only membrane maker in the territory, Lan Che has no time to rest as he is needed everywhere.

The bubbles made by the membrane maker can not only improve the efficiency of cultivation, but also create a bubble house that is isolated from the air. Meng Zheng’s current storage warehouse is built in this way.

Such a bubble house can isolate the air and fully ensure that the things stored inside will not be damaged by external factors.

This solved the main problem of food storage in the tribe, which Jiang Bin explained to Meng Zheng later.

There is only one membrane maker, Lan Che, in the territory, but there are many membrane maker apprentices. As long as there is an membrane maker apprentice near each bubble house, the bubble house can be maintained from collapsing on its own.

However, accidents always happen. There are many bubble houses in the territory. A membrane maker apprentice often has to take care of many bubble houses, and it is inevitable that one or two bubble houses will not be taken care of well.

Only a membrane maker can build a sturdy and durable bubble house, which means Lan Che has to run around every day to build new bubble houses.

A few days ago, Cang Jing brought Lan Che to Hailing Bamboo Forest and specially built ten bubble houses there. He also brought a membrane maker apprentice with him. I think they have all been built now.

Thinking of this, Meng Zheng decided to go to Hailing Bamboo Forest. Since arranging Cang Jing to go there, Meng Zheng has never been there once. It was a good opportunity to go and find out the situation.

"Let's go! Come with me to the Hailing Bamboo Forest." Meng Zheng said to the guards who followed him.

After a while, the Silver-Horned Rock Spirit Beast was led away by a patrolling sea yaksha. After Meng Zheng rode on it, he quickly headed towards the Sea Spirit Bamboo.
