Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 69 Golden Armored Cancer
"What happened?" Meng Zheng asked directly.

"My lord, I sneaked into their tribe and saw a big golden crab. It seemed to be a guardian beast. The leader of the black gold iron-armored crabs has been guarding it and has not left." Li Gen reported in detail.

As a Xuan-level cultivator, it was easy for him to sneak into a territory without a protective array, and his reconnaissance efficiency was very high.

"It seems that Crab Tyrant's tribe has also been upgraded to level three, but does she have a background? There is actually a guardian beast." Before the population problem is solved, basically all players' tribes are upgraded synchronously.

So Meng Zheng was not surprised that the Black Gold Iron Armor Crab was upgraded.

But what really surprised Meng Zheng was that Crab Batian also had a guardian beast. You know, thunder was given by the dragon clan, so how did Crab Batian have a guardian beast?

"Let's go there again tomorrow. I guess their guardian beasts should be able to move freely tomorrow." Meng Zheng wanted to go and see for himself.

Each guardian beast was newly born. Meng Zheng knew the characteristics of crabs. When they were just born, their shells were soft and had no defense at all. Therefore, it was normal for them to hide and not dare to come out. Meng Zheng understood this very well.

The next morning, Meng Zheng sat on Hong Lei's back and took Li Gen and the patrolling sea yakshas to the Black Gold Iron Armored Crab Tribe again.

When they arrived at the sea area of ​​the Crab Tyrant Tribe, Meng Zheng and his party did not rush to get closer, but sent a signal from a distance to let the black gold iron-armored crabs know of his arrival.

Currently, the two sides are allies, and Meng Zheng still has at least some respect for them and will not act recklessly.

Not long after, I saw a huge golden crab crawling leisurely towards me. From a distance, it looked only slightly smaller than Hong Lei.

The carapace on its back shone with a golden luster in the sunlight, appearing exceptionally dazzling. Crab Tyrant, the leader of the Black Gold Ironclad Crabs, walked in front of it, appearing extremely proud.

When Crab Tyrant saw Meng Zheng and his group, he laughed and said, "Meng Zheng, you're here." Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he asked in confusion, "Huh? Where did this whale come from? It looks so majestic."

Hearing this, Meng Zheng smiled and explained, "Batian, this is not an ordinary whale, but the guardian beast of my Canghai tribe - the Thunder Narwhal, whose name is Honglei."

Hong Lei seemed to know that Meng Zheng was introducing him. He hummed in agreement and his azure body swayed slightly.

"Guardian beast? You have a guardian beast too!" Crab Tyrant was a little surprised, then said happily: "This is the guardian beast of my Black Gold Iron Armored Crab clan, the Golden Armored Giant Crab. I call it the Golden Armored Overlord. Isn't it majestic?"

Crab Tyrant's words were full of pride. She proudly introduced her guardian beast, the Golden Armor Overlord. The huge golden crab shone with golden luster in the sun, like a golden statue, majestic and imposing.

Meng Zheng smiled and nodded, praisingly saying, "The Golden Armored Overlord is indeed awe-inspiring, and he and Hong Lei are both equally powerful. It seems that your tribe, Batian, is also very powerful and should not be underestimated."

"Hey, no, the day before yesterday, I suddenly heard a voice hoping that I could get better development and gave me the Golden Armor Overlord!"

There was a hint of mystery in Xie Batian's words, and it was obvious that he had not revealed everything.

But Meng Zheng didn't care. It seemed that Xie Batian did have investors.

But there was nothing to be afraid of. With the strength of the Canghai Tribe, suppressing the Black Gold Ironclad Crab would be no problem. "Batian, did you know that monsters would attack the city in five days?" Meng Zheng asked directly.

"Does your tribe have it too?" Xie Batian was shocked again.

"That's right. The system reminded me when I upgraded. It seems that all lords will have to face the problem of monsters attacking the city." Meng Zheng saw Xie Batian's reaction and understood that her tribe would definitely face the problem of monsters attacking the city.

Hearing this, Xie Batian also put away the relaxed expression on his face and turned serious. She said, "I thought it was nothing serious, but I didn't expect you to be attacked by monsters. Don't you have the confidence to hold on?"

Meng Zheng smiled and said, "Batian, don't worry too much. With the strength we've both developed to this point, we'll definitely have no problem dealing with this wave of monsters attacking the city. Now we just need to figure out how to minimize the losses."

Looking at Meng Zheng's expression, Xie Batian relaxed a little: "Then how can we lower it?"

"My idea is to take the initiative. The system indicates that there are still five days left before the monster siege. Instead of passively accepting the attack, it's better to take the initiative. We'd better clear out the nearby monster groups in advance and reduce the density of monster groups. Maybe this will reduce some of the pressure when the monsters attack the city."

"Is this even possible?" Crab Tyrant was shocked and asked in confusion, "Isn't this considered cheating? Will the system just spawn a bunch of monsters near us?"

Meng Zheng had already considered Crab Tyrant's question: "It shouldn't happen. I've observed for a long time, and the monster groups that have been basically eliminated have no intention of reappearing. The Eternal World is very focused on authenticity. Aside from the various attributes and hatching pools, everything else is similar to our previous world."

"Therefore, the more monster groups we eliminate near our territory, the fewer monsters will be able to attack our tribe."

At the end, Meng Zheng affirmed.

Crab Tyrant shook his huge body and said, "So what do you want to do? I'll do whatever you say."

He smiled and continued, "Batian, I think we can formulate a detailed extermination plan based on the distribution characteristics of the monsters. For example, which monster groups are relatively weak, we can deploy fewer troops; which monster groups are relatively strong, we need to concentrate superior forces to attack.

Hearing this, Crab Tyrant's eyes lit up and she nodded in agreement, "Great idea! Meng Zheng, you're truly a wise lord. Let's follow this plan. The warriors of my Black Gold Iron Armored Crab clan are already eager to get involved!"

Meng Zheng smiled and responded, "Okay! Then we'll split up and make our own preparations. We'll gather here again at this time tomorrow and assign personnel to eliminate the monster swarm."

Crab Tyrant waved his giant claws in agreement: "No problem! Meng Zheng, then it's a deal. See you tomorrow at this time!"

After saying that, Xie Batian turned and left, and Meng Zheng also took Li Gen and the others back to the tribe.

On the way, Meng Zheng continued to review the entire plan. Tianyu Lake is vast and boundless, and no end has been found so far after exploration. The monster groups bred here are countless. The Canghai tribe has such a small population and the army is less than three hundred. Even with the addition of one hundred fishman guards, the manpower is seriously insufficient.

Therefore, joining forces with the Black Gold Iron-Armored Crab to jointly eliminate the monsters in Tianyu Lake is the best option.

It is a best of both worlds approach that not only improves the efficiency of clearing, but also reduces the defense pressure of the Canghai tribe.
