Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 68 The battle is over
After Jiang Tao joined the Raging Waves Hundred Battles Formation, the situation on the entire battlefield was instantly reversed.

After all, Meng Zheng has only been practicing for a short time. With the blood of the royal mermaid, Meng Zheng's strength has been constantly improving by leaps and bounds, but his combat experience is greatly insufficient.

This battle is not only a test for all the mermaid soldiers, but also a calibration of Meng Zheng's own strength.

After Jiang Tao joined, the Hundred Battles Giant seemed to be injected with new life, blood lines spread, runes shone, and Jiang Tao's will and strength were perfectly integrated with the formation, making the Hundred Battles Giant even more powerful and more terrifying.

The heavy trident in his hand shone with a cold light even in the dim water. Every swing was accompanied by the sound of tearing the water, causing waves of violent turbulence.

Jiang Tao and the Hundred Battles Giant completely merged into one, facing Meng Zheng's attack together like a raging sea.

Meng Zheng's Poseidon's Wrath skill is still ongoing. His shadow is like a real sea god, holding a trident, constantly guiding the power of the tide to attack the Tide Guards.

However, with Jiang Tao joining the Crazy Wave Hundred Battles Formation, they were no longer passively taking the beating as before, but began to counterattack rhythmically.

As a silver-tailed mermaid, Jiang Tao also has the skill of ocean waves. This is not the impact wave used by the Hundred Battles Mermaid just now, but an exclusive skill: surging waves.

drink!
Jiang Tao, a battle-hardened giant, thrust his huge trident hard, and countless surging waves formed instantly. They piled up layer by layer, and finally formed a huge wave that hit Meng Zheng.

Meng Zheng had no way to resist this attack. Seeing this, Tang Yu, who was under him, quickly mobilized everyone's strength and instantly condensed a giant shield to block Meng Zheng. But even so, the giant shield was instantly broken and hit the Poseidon Giant hard.

In an instant, the Sea King Mermaid that Meng Zheng had condensed into the Mermaid defensive battle formation was completely defeated and turned into water splashes and disappeared completely.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao immediately withdrew the power to control the waves. His perfect control only made Meng Zheng feel the fierce impact of the water flow, but did not hurt him at all.

Jiang Tao withdrew his power to control the waves, and the situation on the battlefield calmed down again. Meng Zheng looked at Jiang Tao, a flicker of admiration and helplessness in his eyes. He knew that the gap between him and Jiang Tao would not be bridged overnight.

"Jiang Tao, you are indeed powerful," Meng Zheng said sincerely. "I thought I could fight you for a few moves with the help of the mermaid guards, but I didn't expect to be defeated in one blow."

Jiang Tao smiled slightly. He did not become complacent because of his victory. He knew that victory or defeat in battle often depended on many factors, and strength was only one of them.

"Chief, don't lose heart," Jiang Tao encouraged. "You've made rapid progress, and you possess the blood of an imperial-level mermaid. Your future potential is limitless. As long as you continue to practice diligently and gain combat experience, you will surely become even more powerful."

Meng Zheng's eyes flashed with determination upon hearing this. He knew Jiang Tao's words were not groundless. As an imperial-level merman, he possessed advantages and potential unmatched by others.

As long as he doesn't give up and keeps working hard, he will definitely be able to catch up with Jiang Tao and even surpass him.

Turning to look at Shen Zhan and other Kuangtao warriors, their faces were filled with the joy of victory.

"We have won this battle," Jiang Tao said loudly, "but this is just the beginning. You must not let your guard down and must continue to work hard to improve your strength."

Meng Zheng watched Jiang Tao's lecture from the side without interrupting. As the tribal commander, Meng Zheng had to maintain Jiang Tao's authority. Only in this way could all the soldiers be convinced of him and future battles would be smooth sailing. He turned to look at Cang Yue who was standing beside him: "Why did you come out? Is there something wrong with the spring space?"

"Hehe, clan leader, you guys made such a big noise that the spiritual energy of the spring space has been affected by you. How can I not come out to take a look?" Cangyue said with a smile.

"Oh? The spiritual energy in the spring space has been affected?" Meng Zheng was a little surprised.

"Well, the power source of the Water Spirit Guardian Array is the spring space. The scale of the battle in the military camp was too large, and a lot of spiritual energy was drawn away to maintain the security of the territory." Cangyue explained.

"Is a lot of spiritual energy consumed? Has the spiritual stone reserves been consumed?" Meng Zheng was a little serious about this question. If this kind of battle consumes too much spiritual energy and spiritual stones, the pressure of the subsequent war will be very great.

"It's not that bad. It's just that after the spiritual energy is drawn out, there will be a small-scale surge of spiritual energy, which makes it difficult for people to concentrate on cultivation. It probably consumes 10% of the spiritual energy." Cangyue tilted his head, thought carefully for a while, and then answered.

"Well, that's okay. This is still acceptable. How many spirit stones have been condensed in the spring space now?" Meng Zheng was very satisfied with Cangyue's answer, and couldn't help but think of the issue of spirit stone reserves.

In addition to being a holy place for cultivation, the spring space is also a spirit stone mine, which continuously produces spirit stones, water spirit stones, sea spirit stones and other cultivation resources every day.

Cang Yue answered straightforwardly, appearing to have made preparations: "Currently, there are over ten thousand spirit stones in reserve. Three thousand water spirit stones and three thousand sea spirit stones are stored in the center of the spring to provide spiritual energy to the territory at any time."

"Cangyue, we need to pay attention to the spiritual energy surge you mentioned." Meng Zheng turned to Cangyue and said, "Although the spiritual energy consumption in this battle was not great, future battles may be more intense. We must ensure a stable spiritual energy supply in the spring space."

Cangyue nodded. She knew very well the importance of spiritual energy to cultivation and combat.

"I will strengthen the maintenance of the Water Spirit Guardian Array to ensure that it can play its greatest role at critical moments." Cang Yue said, "At the same time, I will continue to observe the changes in the spring space and report to the clan leader and Lord Jiang Tao in a timely manner."

Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction. He was very confident in Cangyue's professionalism and sense of responsibility.

"As for the issue of spirit stone reserves," Meng Zheng continued, "we must speed up the collection and storage of spirit stones, water spirit stones, and sea spirit stones. These resources are not only the foundation of our cultivation, but also a vital guarantee for us to cope with future wars. Jiang Tao, you must pay more attention to the spirit stone mines and keep a close eye on them during the campaign."

Jiang Tao takes the Crazy Waves Guards into battle every day, so it is easy for him to find the location of the spirit stone mine while clearing out the monster groups.

The territory is currently in a state of disrepair and requires a lot of resources. We cannot rely solely on the spirit stones produced by the spring space.

Increasing revenue and reducing expenditure is the first priority for territory development!

After leaving the military camp, Li Gen came over and said, "My lord, I know what happened to the Black Gold Iron Armor Crab Tribe!"
