Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 95 East City Wall
"Li Gen, you go and organize the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. At the same time, strengthen the defense of the city walls to prevent the giant beasts from attacking again." Meng Zheng instructed Li Gen.

Li Gen took the order and left. His figure was as fast as lightning and he disappeared from Meng Zheng's sight in an instant.

Meng Zheng carefully supported Cangyue and called a few female mermaids to take her to the resting place in the rear.

All the behemoths on the battlefield have been destroyed, but the traces of the battle are still clearly visible.

The sea water was dyed red with blood, and the water was filled with the smell of blood and fear.

However, at this moment, all the fear and fatigue seemed to be dispelled by an inexplicable force, and were replaced by a deep sense of pride and joy.

The mermaid shield spearmen began to clean up the battlefield. They collected the corpses of the giant beasts and prepared to transport them back to the tribe as food and materials.

The hydraulic catapult soldiers remain on guard at all times to prevent the monster swarms from attacking again.

On the city wall not far away, the coral weavers had rushed over and began to repair the facilities destroyed by the behemoth and fill the damaged gaps.

After dealing with things here, Meng Zheng decided to go and take a look at the east city wall.

The east wall also had to deal with a lot of monsters. Although Tang Yu and Cang Mu joined forces, Jiang Tao came to help from behind.

But I don’t know what’s going on in the east.

When he arrived at the east city wall, he was shocked by the scene before him. He did not expect that half of the east city wall had collapsed, and the degree of damage was even greater than that of the west city wall.

Meng Zheng looked at the dilapidated state of the eastern city wall, and a heavy emotion surged in his heart.

Although he had expected the battle to be extremely fierce, the extent of the damage to the city walls he saw with his own eyes was beyond his imagination.

Tang Yu, Cangmu and Lan Che were covered in blood, but they still held their ground on the city wall, directing the soldiers to carry out the final finishing work.

Jiang Tao and his Kuang Tao guards had just finished a fierce battle and were leisurely resting against the city wall, chatting and laughing, looking very comfortable.

Although their faces were full of fatigue, they were in good condition and it was obvious that there were not many casualties.

"My lord, you are here!" Tang Yu saw Meng Zheng and hurriedly came forward to greet him.

"What's the situation here? It looks terrible!" Meng Zheng nodded and asked in confusion.

"Hahaha!! Chief, I accidentally collapsed the city wall. I haven't fought so hard in a long time and I lost control of my strength for a moment." Jiang Tao touched his head and laughed dryly.

Hearing Jiang Tao's words, Meng Zheng couldn't help but feel a little amused.

He didn't expect that the damage to the east city wall was caused by Jiang Tao's impulsive behavior and his inability to control his strength.

"Is Hai Lingzhu okay?" Jiang Tao arrived. He actually knew that Hai Lingzhu was safe, but Meng Zheng still asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, Chief. I waited there for a long time, but no monsters appeared, so I hurried back with the cubs. Cang Jing said the pressure in the east was the greatest, so he asked me to support the east first, so I came directly here."

Meng Zheng felt relieved when he heard this, and was finally relieved about the safety of Hai Lingzhu.

Meng Zheng nodded, then turned to look at Tang Yu and Cang Mu, "Are you two okay? What are the casualties?"

Tang Yu and Cang Mu exchanged a glance and shook their heads. Although they too were covered in wounds, they appeared to be in good health. "The casualties are still being tallied, but preliminary estimates suggest they aren't too severe," Tang Yu replied. "Thanks to the timely support of Jiang Tao and the Kuang Tao War Guards, we were able to successfully withstand the behemoth's attack."

"Tell me what happened. How many giant beasts did you encounter?" Meng Zheng asked directly.

The east wall was in chaos, with monster corpses everywhere, some of which had already rushed onto the wall.

Tang Yu's face was solemn as he began to describe the battle on the eastern wall in detail. "The initial battle went smoothly, but then several terrifying beasts suddenly appeared from behind. These beasts had strong defenses, and the hydraulic catapults were unable to move them. It was only when Lord Cangmu and Lord Lingpu used their fish-tendon crossbows to shoot the attacking beasts that they were able to stabilize the situation."

No one knew what happened afterwards, but the giant beast never attacked and instead ran away a lot.

We dared not leave the city walls, but continued to fight the attacking monsters until Lord Jiang Tao arrived and completely strangled all the monsters. "

Meng Zheng listened to Tang Yu's narration with a frown on his face, secretly glad that he had gotten through the crisis without any danger this time.

This time, the monster attack on the city was far beyond Meng Zheng's imagination. He thought he would face an overwhelming number of monsters, or even tens of thousands of monsters attacking the Canghai tribe together. Meng Zheng was already prepared.

I never expected that there were not only so many monsters, but also many top-notch fighters.

Except for the north and south walls where there were fewer behemoths, the east and west walls were facing attacks from more than ten behemoths.

Isn’t this too difficult?
If Meng Zheng had not gathered so many silver-tailed and blue-tailed mermaids, he really would not have been able to defend the Canghai tribe.

I don’t know what the situation is like with Xie Batian. Her strength is much weaker than Meng Zheng’s. She will definitely not be able to hold on in the face of a battle of the same scale.

"Cangmu, how is your injury?" Meng Zheng asked with concern. He looked at Cangmu and saw that his face was extremely pale.

Cangmu smiled slightly and replied, "I'm fine. I just used up too much spiritual energy. I'll be fine after a rest. As for Tang Yu, he suffered a lot of injuries in order to protect me."

Upon hearing this, Meng Zheng looked at Tang Yu and saw that Tang Yu's whole body was bleeding. The blood overflowed little by little and then merged into the water.

The waters of the eastern city wall were filled with all kinds of blood, making the entire water environment turbid.

Patting him on the shoulder, he said, "Tang Yu, you did a great job. I have seen your bravery and loyalty."

Tang Yu smiled innocently, scratched his head, and said, "Chief, this is what I should do. Protecting the tribe is the responsibility of every one of us."

"Cangmu, organize the soldiers to start repairing the city wall immediately."

At the same time, Meng Zheng said to Tang Yu, "Increase patrols to ensure that no giant beasts or monsters are missed and attack again."

Meng Zheng nodded, then turned to look at Jiang Tao and said, "Jiang Tao, you've also made great contributions this time. But there's no time to rest yet. Get ready immediately. When the thunder arrives, we'll be ready to rush to the aid of the Black Gold Ironclad Crab Tribe."

Jiang Tao chuckled, touched his head and said, "Chief, don't worry! I, Old Jiang, will take care of you."

"Okay, you've all worked hard. Now that the battle is over, you should go and rest first." Meng Zheng looked at the soldiers around him, only to see that they were all exhausted and covered in wounds.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers nodded and turned back to rest.
