Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 84 Coral Wall
For the whole day, Meng Zheng and Ling Pu continued to kill various monster groups in the southern area, and only returned to the tribe in the evening.

As early as the morning, Meng Zheng had already notified everyone that they had to return to the Canghai tribe before dusk.

In preparation for the monster attack the day after tomorrow, when Meng Zheng returned, the others had already returned to the tribe to rest and recuperate.

Meng Zheng did not disturb them. After letting Ling Pu go back to rest, he returned to the lord's mansion and called Jiang Bin, Cangmu and others over.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang Bin and his men are here!" When Meng Zheng was observing the "Secret Book of Water", Jiang Bin and his men rushed over.

As the date of the monster siege approaches, these interior ministers are also working hard to stockpile various strategic materials.

As soon as they entered the meeting room, everyone saluted: "Chief!"

Meng Zheng perched high in the lord's mansion's council chamber, his massive frame radiating an air of unspoken authority. His eyes, like deep pools of water, surveyed the interior ministers, Jiang Bin, Cangmu, and others, below him. As his cultivation advanced, his height reached a staggering six meters, forcing the subjects, who once could look him in the eye, to look up at him.

"Everyone, the monster siege is about to start the day after tomorrow. How are our preparations?" Meng Zheng's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the conference room.

Jiang Bin stepped forward first and reported respectfully, "Chief, we have followed your instructions and stockpiled a large amount of strategic supplies. We have sufficient food, herbs, and healing potions to support the tribe through this crisis."

Cangmu then added, "The reinforcement work on the coral city wall is also nearing completion. Currently, the wall has reached a height of fifty meters. With the support of the Water Spirit Guardian Formation, it is enough to withstand the attacks of most monsters."

Meng Zheng nodded, expressing satisfaction with the preparations. However, a hint of worry lingered in his eyes. "Although our defenses appear strong, this monster siege is incredibly dangerous. We can't let our guard down and must be thoroughly prepared."

He turned to Jiang Bin and continued, "Jiang Bin, you will be responsible for deploying manpower to ensure that we can quickly respond to various emergencies during the battle. At the same time, you must arrange for logistical supplies to ensure that the soldiers will not be in trouble due to shortages of supplies during the battle."

Jiang Bin nodded in agreement and said that he would do his best to complete the task.

Meng Zheng looked at Cangmu again and said, "Cangmu, you will be responsible for supervising the defense of the city wall and ensuring that there are no problems with every inch of the wall."

Cangmu also nodded, indicating that he would be on high alert to ensure the quality of the city wall.

Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then said, "Tomorrow we must make adequate preparations and ensure that all arrangements are in place so that we can jointly deal with the monster siege."

Finally he said: "Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest!"

That night, Meng Zheng studied the "Secret Book of Water" all night long, and felt more and more that his cultivation had improved.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the layers of lake water and fell on the Canghai tribe, bringing new vitality and vigor to this land deep in Tianyu Lake.

Meng Zheng woke up early in the lord's mansion, his heart filled with anticipation and determination for the upcoming monster siege.

There were no tasks today, so Meng Zheng asked everyone to have a good rest and adjust themselves to the best condition to prepare for the monster siege tomorrow.

Early in the morning, Meng Zheng arrived at the coral wall that the tribe had built.

The coral wall wasn't built within the Water Spirit Guardian Formation, but rather within its Weak Water Domain. From this location, all aquatic creatures were unable to swim out, trapped by the unique power of the Weak Water Domain, as if an invisible force had stripped them of their ability to float. Even the most powerful aquatic monsters couldn't break through this barrier, struggling in vain beneath the surface.

Meng Zheng stood on the city wall, looking at the land protected by the Weak Water Domain, feeling deeply moved. There was also a water spirit guarding formation, otherwise Meng Zheng really couldn't imagine what the use of the coral city wall was.

In this underwater world, everyone's actions are not restricted at all.

No matter how high your city wall is, as long as it cannot break through the water surface, it will be easily broken through by aquatic creatures.

It is ridiculous that the city wall built with great effort cannot withstand the invasion of the enemy.

Now with the blessing of the Weak Water Realm, the existence of the Coral Wall will become the first line of defense for the Canghai Tribe against monster invasions.

Although the Water Spirit Guardian Array possesses extremely powerful defensive capabilities, it is ultimately just a defensive type of array. Once it is besieged by a large-scale army, it will be breached no matter how strong it is.

Therefore, Meng Zheng had already made the decision that he must hold all the enemies on the coral city wall. Even if he couldn't hold them, he had to kill most of them to reduce the pressure on the Shui Ling guard formation.

Since the construction of this city wall, it has been continuously reinforced in various ways. The coral weaver Cangmu has cultivated a large number of strong and tough coral polyps.

When this kind of coral polyp is combined with wood and stone, it can form an extremely strong and elastic city wall, which can not only resist the enemy's attack, but also absorb and disperse the impact force to a certain extent, preventing the city wall from being easily destroyed.

The shell master Tang Lao, also brought other shell masters with him, and used secret methods to integrate most of the shells of the current tribe into the coral wall, which further improved the toughness of the wall and also had an anti-injury effect. Any monster that attacked the wall would be counterattacked by the spikes.

Meng Zheng swam slowly along the city wall. The people of the Canghai tribe were not restricted by the power of the weak water and could swim freely in the Canghai tribe.

He carefully examined every corner. He saw the solid coral stones of the wall, ingeniously combined with wood and stone to form an impenetrable barrier. He also saw the intricate defenses of the wall, the result of the meticulous work of the tribal craftsmen.

Four huge fish-powered crossbows have been placed on the coral city wall, and the sharp arrows are filled with murderous aura.

"Chief!" A voice called out, interrupting his thoughts. Meng Zheng turned around and saw Cangmu walking towards him quickly.

"Cangmu, you are here too, just come and walk with me!" Meng Zheng said casually.

Walking side by side with Meng Zheng on the coral wall, Cangmu reported: "Chief, I have checked every corner of the wall again to ensure that no possible weaknesses are missed. The coral wall is strong enough for us to confidently face the upcoming monster attack."

Meng Zheng nodded, looking into the distance with a deep gaze: "Very good, Cangmu. I have always been confident in your work. But this time the monster siege is different from the past, and we must be fully prepared."

Cangmu nodded solemnly: "I understand, Patriarch. I have instructed the craftsmen to be on standby at all times so that they can repair the city walls immediately if they are damaged in the battle."

The two continued walking along the city wall. Meng Zheng suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a defensive structure: "What is this?"
