Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 65: Troop Selection
After settling Hong Lei, Meng Zheng prepared to check on the construction of the military camp. It had been a day since Hong Lei appeared. Based on Cangmu's efficiency, the military camp had probably been completed.

When we arrived at the construction site of the military camp, Jiang Tao, Li Gen and Cang Mu were all there.

In front of them, tents rose from the ground, full of iron-blooded solemnity.

When they arrived at the military camp, Cangmu and others had already discovered Meng Zheng's presence and came forward to salute him.

"Cangmu, is the military camp completed?" Meng Zheng asked Cangmu.

"Yes! Chief, I was just about to send someone to inform you!" Cangmu nodded in response.

"Okay, let me take a look." When he got closer, Meng Zheng was finally able to open the attribute panel of the military camp.

Barracks
Function: Recruiting professional soldiers can improve training efficiency and speed up the progress of cultivation. All military studies in the barracks will be more effective than usual.

Can be advanced to: Mermaid Spearman, Mermaid Shield Spearman, Mermaid Hydraulic Catapult Soldier, Mermaid Patrol Guard, Mermaid Archer, etc.

Looking at the upgradeable military branches in the barracks, Meng Zheng understood that there were actually not many requirements for the advancement of soldiers. As long as weapons and equipment were provided, the mermaids could be transferred to the corresponding military branches.

As for training and skills, through continuous training in the military camp, you will continue to understand the characteristics and skills of your own military branch.

All Meng Zheng needs to consider is to determine the occupational composition of the Canghai tribe and provide weapons and equipment.

After informing Jiang Tao and Li Gen of the military camp's purpose, Meng Zheng asked directly, "Jiang Tao, what do you think?"

As the territory's current military leader, Jiang Tao had already made up his mind about this matter. He said directly, "Chief, according to the composition of our tribe's soldiers, we only need shield spearmen and hydraulic catapult soldiers at the moment. We can only consider other types of troops after our tribe's population increases and we have more soldiers."

Jiang Tao's statement is very direct and very realistic.

The total population of the Canghai tribe is only more than 500 people. Although a lot of mermen have been captured, the total population of mermaids is too small.

Now they are engaged in aggressive military expansion and have mobilized half of the mermaids to become militia, but there are only more than 200 of them.

If you want to pursue multi-service coordination, it is simply unrealistic.

It would be better to focus on two types of troops, and then consider the issue of coordination among multiple types of troops when the population of the tribe increases in the future.

"Well, your suggestion is very good. Let's do it!" Meng Zheng affirmed Jiang Tao's opinion and ordered: "Jiang Tao, there are currently 145 male mermaids in the territory. All of them will be converted to mermaid shield spearmen. All of the 95 female mermaids will be converted to hydraulic catapult soldiers. I want you to train them all as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Chief, just leave it to me!" Faced with Meng Zheng's request, Jiang Tao simply agreed.

After arranging the soldiers' transfer, Meng Zheng asked Hong Zhu, Tang Lao and Jiang Bin to fully cooperate with Jiang Tao's training, providing equipment, weapons and supplies. In short, the army is the priority and they must cooperate fully.

After resolving the issue of military transfer, Meng Zheng decided to go talk to Xie Batian.

Today in Yu Lake, the only player Meng Zheng can find is Crab Overlord. Since the Canghai tribe has been promoted to a third-level tribe and has to face monster sieges, the Black Gold Iron Armored Crab tribe will naturally also face monster sieges.

Meng Zheng wondered if he could cooperate with Xie Batian to jointly resist powerful enemies and protect each other's territories.

This time when he went out, Meng Zheng got a new mount, Hong Lei.

Hong Lei was a very naughty creature, swimming around all day long, never able to rest for a moment. Fortunately, after a brief training session with Meng Zheng, Hong Lei had already mastered the ability to control his spiritual power. Otherwise, if Hong Lei had played like this, the mermaids and murlocs transporting supplies to the territory would have suffered heavy casualties.

In one day, Hong Lei's body grew a lot and now it is more than forty meters long.

Its growth rate is extremely abnormal, and its size is constantly increasing every moment.

Fortunately, Honglei does not have high food requirements, and he will feel satisfied even if he sucks plankton in the water.

However, Meng Zheng also asked Jiang Bin to provide Hong Lei with a lot of food to ensure that Hong Lei could grow up in a short period of time.

The territory currently has abundant food reserves, especially whitefin fish, whose number has skyrocketed. A lot of manpower is needed every day to provide food for the whitefin fish, and they can't even kill them all.

Now that's what happened. Yesterday evening, Meng Zheng led Hong Lei over there. With just one suck, Hong Lei killed more than half of the white-fin fish. If Meng Zheng hadn't reacted and stopped it in time, the entire school of white-fin fish would have been swallowed by Hong Lei in one gulp.

With the existence of Hong Lei, there will no longer be a problem of food surplus in the territory. Any excess can be given to Hong Lei.

While he was thinking, Hong Lei had already arrived at the territory of the Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Clan.

This time, Meng Zheng discovered that the black gold iron-armored crab had also expanded a lot.

Looking around, the entire mountain is covered with dense stone pits, which looks very messy.

The Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Clan has no talent for internal affairs, and Crab Tyrant doesn't really take charge of things.

As long as the tribe has enough food and shelter, Crab Tyrant rarely worries about other things.

As for the planning and arrangements of the tribe, they just ignored it. As long as there was a place, houses could be built.

In addition, the black gold iron-clad crabs are extremely large in size, and only two or three crabs can live in one pit, which makes the size of the entire population look disastrous. Anyway, Meng Zheng thinks it is very eye-catching.

As soon as Meng Zheng approached, the black gold iron-clad crabs gathered together. They looked very nervous, and many big crabs accidentally collapsed other people's holes.

"What happened?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Meng Zheng was very confused, although Hong Lei's appearance was indeed more domineering.

But it shouldn’t cause such a stir!
Seeing this, Meng Zheng no longer stepped forward, but waited quietly for the Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab to send someone forward to communicate.

After a while, the black-gold iron-clad crab that had led the way earlier came up to Meng Zheng and asked, "Mermaid leader, what brings you to our tribe?"

Looking at this ten-meter-long crab, Meng Zheng became even more confused. This guy obviously had something to hide!
"I'm here to see your clan leader. I have something important to discuss." Meng Zheng answered neatly.

No matter what happens to the Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab, you will find out after talking to Crab Tyrant.

There is no need to waste time talking to the big crab in front of you.

"The clan leader has something to do now, you can tell me!" The black gold iron-armored crab is depressed!
"In that case, tell your tribe leader that there will be a major crisis in six days. Is she aware of it? If you want to cooperate, come to my Canghai tribe to negotiate!"

Seeing how nervous these guys were, Meng Zheng didn't want to conflict with them, so he simply asked them to tell Crab Batian that if he needed anything, he could come to him, and everything would be clear then.
