Chapter 935 – Fight for People We Can Fight For
Zhao Hai was aware of the matters of the three clans. Giving Fei'er the command tokens wasn't for nothing. Moreover, Cai'er can take over control over the s.p.a.ce to help Fei'er and the others. And she was also better at spying at the three clans.
To be honest, upon seeing how the Winged Pegasus Patriarch was adamant on not entering the s.p.a.ce, Zhao Hai solidified his intention of not helping them. The Winged Pegasus Clan needs to strive for survival.
On the other hand, the response of the Barbarian Patriarch came unexpected. Zhao Hai didn't think that the Patriarch would arrive at his decision this quickly. This truly shocked Zhao Hai.
If the Supreme Elders suddenly changes their target to the Barbarians, then Zhao Hai would not mind helping them. After all, with such an honest race, Zhao Hai couldn't just be unfair to them.
However, since the nine Supreme Elders went to attack the Winged Pegasus Clan, then Zhao Hai wouldn't come and help. At this time he was currently dealing with the Sagittarius Clan.
But at this moment, Cai'er came to Zhao Hai with new information. The O'Neal Family's Army just arrived outside the Spatial Rift to the Divine Realm. They were now prepared to launch a large attack on the spatial rift's defensive line.
After hearing this, Zhao Hai gawked. At this point, time was very important for Zhao Hai. He was still doing battle in the Divine Race territory. The Divines were too populous. If he wanted to deal with them all, then he would need quite some time. In this case, he wouldn't be able to muster up some strength to deal with the O'Neal family.
Zhao Hai made some calculations. He had already destroyed the Taurus, Central, Scorpio, and Cancer Continents. And in the meantime, he was battling the Sagittarius Divines. As long as he managed to deal with the Sagittarius Divines, then he might free up some military strength. However, this military strength wouldn't be able to cope with the O'Neal family's army.
All this time, the O'Neal Family had ama.s.sed more than twenty thousand magic armors. This number shouldn't be underestimated. It would take Zhao Hai about 2 million undead in order to block them.
Besides the magic armors, the O'Neal family also has about 5000 War Tanks accompanying the army. At the same time, energy cannons were also brought over.
The strength of these energy cannons surpa.s.ses those on the War Tanks. From Zhao Hai's estimate, he would need about ten million undead to block the O'Neal Family's army. Moreover, he would also need to use the defensive line effectively in order to succeed.
This didn't mean that Zhao Hai didn't have confidence in his own Undead. In fact, his undead has been increasing every since he began attacking the Divines. Moreover, the overall quality of the undead have also been improving. At this point, all of the undead that Zhao Hai used in his battles were G.o.d-rank. And the number of undead had reached an astonis.h.i.+ng four hundred million.
However, Zhao Hai still wouldn't dare to underestimate the O'Neal Family. The route of civilization that the O'Neal Family took was different. The O'Neal family took the technological path while Zhao Hai and the others took the path to unlocking the human potential.
One couldn't precisely say which of the two paths was better. But in terms of manpower, the O'neal family was in the lead. They had hot weapons. And with the addition of magic formations, their weapons were much better compared to the magic cannons that Zhao Hai uses. In this case, Zhao Hai would have his undead fight the opposite party using their own bodies. This was akin to a fight between someone wielding a knife and someone who had a gatling gun.
Because of this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but frown upon hearing Cai'er's report. Although he had several hundred million troops, majority of them were used to deal with the Sagittarius Divines. The Sagittarius Divines were very hard to deal with. Their archers were very strong so Zhao Hai was unable to end the fight in a short time. In this case, Zhao Hai simply didn't have the time to face the O'Neal family.
Laura and the others were beside Zhao Hai. They were also aware of Zhao Hai's worries. The group frowned before Laura spoke after some time, "Brother Hai, should we take some troops in order to deal with the O'Neal family?"
Without even waiting for Zhao Hai to speak, Lizzy shook her head and said, "If we do that, then we would be stuck in the Sagittarius Continent for even longer. When the Supreme Elders are done with the Winged Pegasus, they will immediately know about the disappearance of the Barbarians. Then they will certainly return here to look for us. When the time comes, we would have lost the best opportunity to deal with the Divine Race. Our losses would be too great."
Laura nodded, she was aware of this result. But aside from what she suggested, what other methods could they use? Laura couldn't help but turn her head to Zhao Hai.
Seeing that everybody was looking at him, Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Why would we block them? Just let them come. The Barbarians are already moving to the s.p.a.ce. Since the Winged Pegasus doesn't want to enter, then there's no need to waste time on them. What we do next is to fight for what we can fight for."
When Laura and the others heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but gawk. Laura looked puzzled at Zhao Hai and asked, "Fight for what we can fight for? What does Brother Hai mean?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "The Foreign Races!"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Laura and the others immediately understood what he meant. At this time, the three foreign races were stable. It can be said that there's no need for them to worry. What Zhao Hai and the others needed to do right now was to finish off the Divine Race and then proceed to the next step. This was to have the foreign races enter the s.p.a.ce.
However, how could they make the foreign races enter the s.p.a.ce? This was a major problem. At this time, the foreign races were having the best moment of their lives. Zhao Hai was dealing with the Divines. The foreign races had already sent troops to battle. It can be said that with Zhao Hai's existence, the foreign races had gained an upper hand against the Divine Race. Under such circ.u.mstances, why would the foreign races enter the s.p.a.ce?
So the only way for it to be possible was to introduce an even more powerful enemy!
Obviously, it can be seen that the O'Neal Family was extremely strong. The Divine Realm was much bigger compared to the Ark Continent, and was even bigger than the Demon Realm. If the O'Neal family discovers the Divine Realm, would they be willing to let go of it? The answer was no. They will never give it up. In this case, they will surely explore the Divine Realm. When they confront the foreign races, then the foreign races would surely suffer a loss. When that time comes, it wouldn't be impossible for them to enter Zhao Hai's s.p.a.ce.
Zhao Hai didn't dare to let the O'Neal family into the Divine Realm before, this was because the O'Neal family would be appearing in the Taurus Continent. When the time comes, the one who would face them first wouldn't be the foreign races nor the Divines, it would be the Thunder Clan, Winged Pegasus, and the Barbarians.
But now, the situation was different. The Barbarians were migrating to the s.p.a.ce. Since they had made ample preparations, the move went smoothly. In a few days, their move would be complete.
As for Gold Ben and the others, Zhao Hai wasn't worried about them. They would enter the Winged Pegasus' plane any time soon. Therefore, when the O'Neal family arrives in the Divine Realm, the Barbarians should have finished moving while the Winged Pegasus were entangled with the nine Supreme Elders. At that time, the Winged Pegasus should be on the cusp of extinction. In this case, the first ones to meet the O'Neal family would be the nine Supreme Elders.
Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to allow the O'neal family to enter the Divine Realm. The existence of the O'Neal family would make the Divine Realm's situation even muddier. When the time comes, Zhao Hai would be able to catch fish in muddled waters.
Upon exposing his plan to Laura and the others, Zhao Hai quickly got their approval. They also thought that it was time for the O'Neal family to stir things up.
At this time, the O'Neal family had divided their troops into three. One against the Underworld, one to the Demon Realm, and the last one was to attack the defensive line. The latter being the one with the most manpower used so far.
If the O'Neal family discovers the large plane behind the spatial rift, would they still be interested with the Ark Continent? The Demon Realm? It's highly probable that they would slowly s.h.i.+ft their whole attention towards the Divine Realm. This wouldn't only turn the Divine Realm's waters muddier, this would also allow Zhao Hai to acquire more magic armors.
It was because of all these reasons that Laura and the others fully supported Zhao Hai's plan. In their view, there wouldn't be any harm done to Zhao Hai if the O'Neal family arrived in the Divine Realm.
Zhao Hai looked at the group and smiled, "The O'Neal family is about to attack. We'll call the undead creatures back for now. However, we can't just make them have a good time. We'll proceed to hara.s.s them constantly."
When Laura heard this, she couldn't help bit smile and said, "Good, we should hara.s.s them. This will inform them that the Ark Continent's people aren't useless. This would attract their attention even more."
Lizzy nodded, "Moreover, we can buy more time. We can even use our ambushes to lure the O'Neal family over to the Supreme Elders. This way, we wouldn't worry about them not meeting."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Then it's settled. I want to see how the O'Neal family deals with our hara.s.sment. Although their magic armors are fast, they still fall short compared to the s.p.a.ce. I'll make the O'Neal family taste how terrifying our ambushes are."
Megan smiled, "I also want to see how the nine Supreme Elders would react upon seeing the O'Neal family's magic armors. In the past, when they discovered the Goblins making magic armors, they immediately exterminated them. Compared to the Goblins, the O'Neal family's magic armors are more advanced. The reaction of the Supreme Elders would certainly be worth watching."
Chapter 936 – A Thousand Troops Are Easy To Get, But Finding One Good Talent Is Difficult
Axe was calmly looking at the Spatial Rift. Compared to before, he was now more familiar with the world. Arriving at the Ark Continent made him understand a lot of things.
He was very clear about how much the Family had invested in the Ark Continent. If the family couldn't recoup the cost, then the O'Neal family would greatly suffer.
What makes this situation funny was the fact that the O'Neal family's greatest desire at this point was to see their enemies. Ever since they arrived at the Ark Continent, they had never seen a single person. Even if it was an enemy, they badly needed to see one.
Since the discovery of this spatial rift, the O'Neal family finally managed to calm down. At this moment George went to the side of Axe and said, "Junior Patriarch, we have tried attacking the other side several times. However, their counterattacks were very fierce. But at this time, we have a general observation of their troop positions."
Axe turned his head to George and nodded, "Alright, good work. If we succeed, then the Clan will remember your great contribution."
A glint flashed in George's eyes, he quickly gave a salute and said, "I thank Junior Patriarch Axe!"
Axe nodded and said, "We've just arrived, so we'll rest for two days before attacking. In those two days, draw me a map of the area. It'll be useful for our operation."
George nodded, "Young Patriarch, the map has been prepared. I will send it to you in a while."
A glint of praise appeared on Axe's eyes. He patted George's shoulder and said, "Good job, George. You handle things very well."
Upon hearing Axe's praise, George's body couldn't help but feel light. He quickly replied, "Thank you, Junior Patriarch. I'm just doing things I'm meant to do."
Axe nodded, "Alright, I'll be waiting for the map. Go back and rest well."
George nodded, "Then I'll ask to be excused, Junior Patriarch. I'll immediately have the map delivered." Axe nodded before he turned to look at the War Tanks. n.o.body knew what kind of thoughts were running in his mind.
Axe had been inside a War Tank for several days. They were hurrying along without stopping so he was very tired. Magic armor pilots weren't strong themselves, so they get exhausted more easily.
But although he was very tired, he still wouldn't dare to fall asleep. There were too many things running along Axe's mind. His head has been processing them nonstop, there was no time for sleep.
In the end, Axe's thoughts drifted to Zhao Hai. After thinking about how they met, Axe couldn't help but feel stupid. Everytime Axe thought of Zhao Hai, he would always feel anger.
At that time, he thought that Zhao Hai was the fool. But as it turned out, it was Axe who had been played. Axe had an inkling that Zhao Hai was on the other side of this spatial rift, this feeling was very strong. Because of this, Axe heavily lobbied to be allowed to come here, even if his father didn't agree.
While Axe was deep in thought, the War Tank suddenly stopped. The war tank driver turned to Axe and said, "Junior Patriarch, we're here. You should go to your room and take a rest."
Axe slowly opened his eyes and looked all around. Then he nodded and said, "You go rest as well." Then he opened the door and left.
Just after Axe entered his room, his servant's voice was suddenly heard outside. "Young Master, Mister George is seeking an audience. He said that he had brought the troop deployment of the spatial rift."
Axe nodded, "Let him in." Before long, George entered Axe's room. In his hand was a map of the spatial rift's defensive line.
Axe waved his hand to the servant and said, "Go prepare some food and drinks with me. George, stay here. Let's eat while discussing the map."
Although George was happy, he didn't let it show outside. He just nodded and sat on the table as he unfolded the map.
It was a very detailed map. Terrains and landmarks were properly labelled. One could see George's attentiveness from the map.
After looking at the map, Axe gave a favorable nod and said, "Very good. This map is very well made. Are you certain that this is the location of all the enemies?"
George shook his head and said, "I'll be honest to the Junior Patriarch. I cannot guarantee that this complete. The enemy is very strong. Moreover, we discovered that the other party was very prepared to fight with the magic armors. I'm afraid of being entangled by them, so we didn't dare to go too far for scouting. However, the general situation depicted here shouldn't be wrong."
Axe nodded, "It's fine. There's no need to worry about it. Right, how is their attacking power?"
George complied, he pointed at the map and said, "Junior Patriarch, the enemies on the other side of the spatial rift uses an inferior version of our energy cannons. It seems like they're quite big and heavy, they aren't easily movable. The attacking strength seems to be average, but there was a lot of them. At the same time, they also have a kind of explosive javelin. The explosion the javelins produce is stronger than the energy cannons. And the most difficult to deal with were the operators of these energy cannons and javelins. They were all used by the undead, and those undead are very strong."
Axe frowned, "I didn't expect the other party to use undead as cannoneers. Perhaps the undead are related with the Dark Mist? From what you can see, how many troops would we need in order to break through the enemy line?"
George thought about it and said, "I probably need 1000 energy cannons, 200 war tanks, and 1000 magic armors. If we have those numbers, maybe we can control the casualties to about 100."
Axe moved his eyebrows and said, "Oh, you're that confident?"
George nodded, "Although they're defense is quite strong, I can see that they still fall short compared to the magic armors. More importantly, although the spatial rift wasn't small, it wasn't big either. We can't send a lot of people at a time, but this also meant that the other party wouldn't be able send a lot of troops to defend. So 1000 magic armors should be enough. We could use energy cannons as covering fire while the magic armors and the war tanks slowly push forward with their s.h.i.+elds. We should be able to take control of the area in a short period of time. We can also establish our own defensive line in case the enemy sends reinforcements."
Axe nodded, "Good. Go back and write a detailed plan for me. I will let the Generals see your plan and if it is feasible, we'll have you lead the operation. After all, compared to any of us, you are the most familiar with the situation."
Although George was a well-mannered person, he still couldn't help but conceal the glee on his face upon hearing Axe. He quickly gave a salute and said, "George thanks the Junior Patriarch for the promotion!"
Axe patted George's shoulder and said, "I promoted you because I can see that you're competent. Alright, go and prepare. Remember to call me Young Lord from now on."
George became even happier. One shouldn't underestimate this name change. The address 'Junior Patriarch' can be used by everyone to address Axe. However, only a few people could call him by the name of Young Lord. Only those with good relations with the O'neal family, the older generations, and trusted subordinates were able to call Axe this name. Being able to address Axe this way was a sign of status. For George, this was an extremely good news.
George happily replied, "Yes, Young Lord, I will go prepare right away." After he said that, he turned and left. Although he had already left Axe's room, George was still very motivated. His family wasn't powerful, so everything he achieved up to this day was due to his hard work. George was very familiar of the O'Neal family, judging by the fact that he had climbed his way up from being the lowest ranked soldier. He knew that for people like him with no background, he would need to rely on powerful people. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to go far in life.
Axe giving his favor was akin to George getting a powerful backer. What better backer was there other than the Junior Patriarch, the future leader of the O'Neal family? With the Junior Patriarch at his back, reaching his dream of being an official wouldn't be that far off.
After looking at George's departing back, Axe couldn't' help but smile faintly. After having a deep understanding about the family's matters, Axe knew how important it was to train competent subordinates.
Yes, the family already had loyal and devoted elder officials. But because their qualifications were established long ago, it wasn't certain that they would be by the Junior Patriarch's side. With the pressure of these elder official, people like George would find it hard to go high up the ladder. So as long as Axe provided people like George with support, then they would be loyal and devoted to him. They would become Axe's personal strength, something that belonged to his own.
These were matters that his father had taught him. Since his father was aware that Axe was coming here, he sent several young and capable men with no backgrounds along. These people had been pressured by old officials. Their statuses weren't able to bring them to the rank of general. Because of this, Axe would find it easier to command them. At the same time, they would also do their best to curry favor with the Junior Patriarch.
Axe was very grateful for this procedure that his father had laid out. He knew that his father was already paving the road for him in order to smoothly transition into the position of Patriarch.
After thinking about this, Axe couldn't help but lightly sigh. He turned and left to rest in his bedroom, the meal that the servant sent was left uneaten.
The next morning, just after Axe finished having his breakfast, a servant's voice was heard, "Young Master, Captain George is asking for an audience."
Axe nodded and said, "Let him in." The servant complied as George walked in not long after.
Although George's eyes were blood red, his facial expression shows that he was extremely motivated. After seeing Axe, George immediately bowed and said, "Young Lord, I've finished the battle plan. Please take a look at it."
Axe looked at George and frowned, "George, have you been busy since yesterday evening? Didn't I tell you to take a rest?"
After seeing Axe frown, George couldn't help but stare and quickly replied, "Yes, I ask the Young Lord for forgiveness. I'm afraid of causing the Young Lord's mission to make mistakes. So I worked overnight to finish the battle plan."
Axe looked at George and sighed, "George, don't do this in the future. The battle plan isn't an immediately need. You need to take care of your body. The only thing you truly own is your body. You can contribute more in the future. When the time comes, I don't want your body to be unwell if I need you."
As soon as he heard this, George's expression loosened. Then he gave a sharp bow and said, "Yes, Young Lord. This George thanks the Young Lord for the concern."
Axe nodded and said, "Leave the plan behind. You go back and rest well. Come to me after. Go." George nodded before he placed the plan on the table. Then he gave Axe a salute and left.
When George left, Axe took the battle plan and gave it a glance. After a while, a smile couldn't help but appear on Axe's face.
George's battle plan was very good. It was very detailed and had considered a lot of aspects. The combat process was divided into several parts. The first part was the attack. The main goal was to break through the spatial rift's defensive line.
The second part was seizing the defensive line. Upon doing so, they would be able make a counter-attack on the enemy.
The third part was exploiting their victory. After defending their ground, they would immediately send the energy cannons and war tanks in to attack the other party through the fog. This way, they would be able to see what lies behind.
It can be said that the plan was beautifully made. The first step was very clear and George even calculated how much people they would need. It included the estimated time it would take, their route of action, and reactions to certain levels of progress. If the enemy strongly resisted, then the battle plan would describe how to deal with it. All these things were carefully considered. Axe was very satisfied with the report.
Axe only gave George a small opportunity, but who would've thought that George would bring in such a huge surprise. Although this was only a battle plan, one could see a lot of things from it. With how well it was made, it showed the calibre of George's skill. For Axe, this was very important.
Finding a thousand soldiers was easy, but looking for a good talent was very difficult. Those with talent are extremely crucial to any military. At this point, George became more valuable in Axe's eyes.
Chapter 937 – Superior and Subordinate
Zhao Hai was aware of the happenings in the O'Neal Family. But even if they had plans against him, he still didn't care. After all, he was ready to deal with them. At this time, he was busy with the Sagittarius Continent. The battle was still going on, he didn't have time to waste on anything else.
Zhao Hai couldn't help but recognize how hard it was to deal with the Sagittarius Divines. Their main characteristic was their speed, they were very good at hit-and-run. They were doing guerilla warfare against Zhao Hai. This made it harder for Zhao Hai to deal with them.
At this time, Gold Ben and the others had entered the plane that belonged to the Winged Pegasus clan. Naturally, the Winged Pegasus were resisting hard. However, their strength simply couldn't compare to Gold Ben and the other Supreme Elders.
The Winged Pegasus had prepared themselves, unlike the Thunder Clan who had been decimated by the Supreme Elders. However, they still weren't able to pose a threat to Gold Ben and the others.
The resistance of the Winged Pegasus was much better compared to the Thunder Clan. It would be impossible for Gold Ben and the others to deal with the Winged Pegasus like the way they did with the Thunder Clan. Although the Supreme Elders were very strong inside their combat suits, they still couldn't wear them for too long. Because of this, after attacking the Winged Pegasus for a while, they would immediately retreat. They would find a place to rest before attacking once more. In any case, with their extremely small number, they would be able to evade the eyes of the Winged Pegasus.
But one shouldn't underestimate the method used by the Supreme Elders. They were very lethal. Even if the Winged Pegasus dispatched ten million people, the Supreme Elders could kill seven million of them before retreating.
It can be said that the situation of the nine Supreme Elders in the Winged Pegasus Clan was the same as Zhao Hai in the Sagittarius Continent. Both of them were being tied down.
One must know that the Winged Pegasus were very quick. Among the three clans, they had the most mobile troops. Because of this speed, as well as the blood lightning javelins that Zhao Hai gave them before, the Winged Pegasus were able to cause some problems to the Supreme Elders.
However, Zhao Hai finally had a method to deal with the Sagittarius Divines. The main reason why he wasn't able to clean the Sagittarius Divines up was because he had yet to map the entire Sagittarius Continent. Because of this, Zhao Hai had a hard time finding the positions of the Sagittarius Divines.
But after several days, Zhao Hai finally mapped the entire continent. Because of this, he was now able to see where the Divines were hiding. Upon seeing the enemy, Zhao Hai would immediately release his undead to engage them in close combat.
One must know that although the Sagittarius were formidable in ranged combat, their close combat capabilities were inferior compared to most Divines. With this disadvantage, the undead were able to easily kill them off.
After Zhao Hai completely dealt with the Sagittarius Divines, Axe and the others had also finished resting and were now ready to attack the spatial rift. Axe decided to use George's battle plan. However, it was a pity that the battle plan would have to be wasted. This was because Zhao Hai already withdrew all of his troops guarding the defensive line.
Axe stood in a place not far from the spatial rift. He looked calm but deep inside he was actually excited, and a faint trace of killing aura was starting to come out.
Right, killing aura. Axe's heart was feeling more and more agitated. He felt that Zhao Hai was just behind the spatial rift. Therefore, this attack was like a head-on collision with Zhao Hai.
George was standing by Axe's side. This was Axe's request. Axe needed to tell everyone that George was his trusted aide, which made George very excited.
However, George still looked worriedly at the spatial rift. Although he was very confident in his battle plan, George still felt unease. After all, this was an opportunity for him to prove himself. If his battle plan went smoothly, then he would gain a stable footing inside Axe's heart. But if it fails, then it was likely that Axe would give up on him. Without anyone backing him up, he wouldn't be able to make something of himself.
Axe looked at the time. After seeing that it was appropriate, he looked at George and said, "George, pa.s.s the order to attack."
George nodded. He took a deep breath before turning his head and loudly said, "Pa.s.s the Young Lord's order, begin the attack!"
Axe looked satisfied at George. He rated George's battle plan as very good, but Axe also knew that he was just a rookie commander. Therefore, he had the battle plan sent to the generals that came with him. He didn't have the confidence to see if it was really good or not.
Very good, after looking at the plan, the Captains thought that it was perfect. This caused Axe to feel relieved. He had also paid more attention to George.
What made Axe feel more satisfied was George's performance. George's actions were quite good and well-measured. George could just say, "Pa.s.s the order, begin the attack!" Everyone would still be aware that it was Axe's command. However, "Pa.s.s the Young Lord's order, begin the attack!" sounded much better to Axe's ears.
Axe was just a rookie commander, he still needed to increase his prestige. In fact, Axe had little to no help regarding the attack on the spatial rift. The battle plan was made by George while the operation was left to the captains. It can be said that the thing Axe did was just to issue the order to attack.
Axe hoped to increase his prestige using this attack. Because of this, he wished for people to know that he was the one in command.
After gaining experience, Axe knew that he wasn't an average youth. Doing laborious tasks was not something he ought to do. He was a superior, and superiors wouldn't be able to worry too much as long as his people were doing well. The battle plan was made by George, but George was found by him. This was already enough. With this action, he was already able to gain merit as a superior.
This was also something that his father had taught him. Before a superior gains influence, they would need to increase their prestige. Once your influence was unshakable, only then would you be able to relax.
At this point, Axe still needed to increase his influence. Because of this, Axe wouldn't have liked it if George just said, "Pa.s.s the order, begin the attack!". This would lessen Axe's merit.
But since George said the right thing, pointing out that Axe was the commander. The subordinates would place Axe's name in their minds. As long as the fight was won, Axe would gain a certain status inside the hearts of these subordinates. This was gaining prestige.
Because of this point, Axe was very satisfied with George. George was a thoughtful person, that's why he decided to word his command properly.
George was an intelligent man. He was clear about Axe's status in the O'Neal family. This young man, who used to be unpopular because of his risk-taking att.i.tude, didn't have a good reputation in the family. Fortunately, since he was the Patriarch's first wife's son, and had never wronged the family, his position as the Junior Patriarch was still quite solid.
However, the Junior Patriarch's involvement with the Ark Continent made everyone startled. Although this was due to Axe's risk-taking att.i.tude, entering an unknown plane was still regarded as a courageous move by the family. Because of this, the members of the family began to see the Junior Patriarch in a new light. Moreover, the patriarch had started to make his move and train the Junior Patriarch and enhance Axe's influence. So after thinking about it, George decided to word the order that way.
After the order was pa.s.sed on, George turned to look at Axe. Axe had a faint smile on his face, he looked very satisfied. George couldn't help but become happy, he knew that he did the right decision in addressing the Young Lord with the command.
With Axe's order being pa.s.sed on, the O'Neal family's attack finally began. The first to move were the energy cannons. The energy cannons of the O'neal family were much bigger than the ones used by Zhao Hai. Naturally, these energy cannons had some differences. The energy cannons don't fire beams, instead, they fire sh.e.l.ls.
Naturally, with sh.e.l.ls being the ammunition, the energy cannons were used differently compared to Zhao Hai's magic cannons. The O'neal family's cannons looked just like the ones on Earth. A lot of magic formations were inscribed on the sh.e.l.ls. And instead of gunpowder, a magical powder was used. This magical powder had the same explosive property as gunpowder, however its might was much stronger, making them more lethal.
There were 1000 energy cannons in total. After Axe's order, the magic cannons immediately made waves of attacks. Flames emitted from the cannons as it fired towards the spatial rift. After five rounds of firing, the cannons stopped. After that, the war tanks and magic armors, looking like ants and mosquitoes, threw themselves into the spatial rift.
Chapter 938 – I'll Certainly Find You!
Axe looked at the spatial rift. He didn't know what the battle would be like, but one thing was for sure. The battlefield was an ever changing ent.i.ty, n.o.body would know what would happen next. George's plan might be very well made, but sometimes the unexpected would happen.
Axe didn't partic.i.p.ate in the battle. Although he had partic.i.p.ated in battles during his explorations, he was still inexperienced when it came to large fights. Also, he didn't join because he knew how anything can happen in the battlefield.
George was as nervous as Axe. If the attack didn't go well, Axe wouldn't be affected too much, he could just launch a second attack. However, for George, it would be a disaster, he would lose the trust that Axe had given him. For George who had no background, he might not even be able to keep his position of Captain.
Under the two's gaze, the magic armors and war tanks rushed towards the spatial rift. Axe and George held their breath at the same time. It was only after some time did the two recover, but they still kept their eyes on the spatial rift.
One minute pa.s.sed by and there weren't any sounds of fighting from the spatial rift. Five minutes went by, there was still nothing. Ten minutes, half an hour, no sound could be heard.
Axe couldn't help but turn to George and said, "George, go send someone to take a look. See what's happening on the other side. Why aren't there any noise? Are we carrying a silent attack?"
George nodded. But just as he was about to prepare, a black spot suddenly emerged from the spatial rift. It was a magic armor, George stopped and immediately went to protect Axe.
Axe looked at George's action and nodded. However, his attention was still concentrated on the magic armor. He really wanted to know what happened to the spatial rift, why there was no sound.
Before long, the magic armor flew until it was 500 meters away from axe before it was stopped. Then the magic armor descended to the ground as its pilot went out. After confirming the pilot's ident.i.ty, the man was taken to see Axe.
Axe looked at the man, naturally he didn't know him. The messenger arrived in front of Axe and then gave him a salute, "Reporting to the Junior Patriarch. Lion combat unit's second squad messenger Bill is here on the Captain's orders. I'm ordered to report the situation to the Junior Patriarch."
Axe nodded, "Tell me what's going on. Why can't I hear any fighting?"
Bill immediately replied, "Reporting to the Junior Patriarch. There simply isn't any fighting on the other side. We didn't discover any enemies. We rushed through the fog and were surprised by what happened. The Captain is asking the Junior Patriarch to take a look and see the situation."
Axe stared, then he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take a look."
George quickly replied, "Young Lord, please allow me to ask a few questions."
Axe turned his head to George and smiled, "George, what do you want to ask? Go on."
After George expressed his grat.i.tude, he turned to Bill and said, "Bill, are there really no enemies, or have they been destroyed by us? Also, since you're asking the Young Lord to head inside, is the situation absolutely safe?"
Bill immediately replied, "We were unable to defeat the enemy, there simply aren't any. The terrain inside has been completely destroyed by the energy cannons, so we cannot take a look. But rest a.s.sured, the situation has been under complete control, it's very safe."
George nodded, then he turned to Axe and said, "Young Lord, I'll arrange a modified Tiger War Tank to go with you."
Axe gave a nod, "Alright, go prepare. Right, let's go in together. I want to see what happened on the other side."
George complied and immediately turned around and left. Before long, a modified Tiger war tank stopped beside Axe. George opened the door of the war tank and welcomed Axe in. After Axe and George was inside, the war tank immediately entered the spatial rift.
It didn't take a long time before the war tank emerged from the other side of the spatial rift. Upon exiting, George couldn't help but frown, then he whispered to Axe, "Young Lord, the fog is much lighter compared to before. Last time, we only have three meters of visibility, but this time it seems to be ten meters."
Axe stared, then he turned to George and said, "Are you sure?"
George nodded, "I am absolutely sure, Young Lord. I entered this place several times. I have a good understanding of the situation here."
Axe gently knit his brows and said, "Since the fog is disappearing, does it mean that the enemy has retreated? Did they discover our army so they decided to pull back?"
George gave a heavy nod and said, "Perhaps that is the case. I've been unfair to the Young Lord. My battle plan has wasted a lot of the O'Neal family's sh.e.l.ls."
Axe smiled and said, "That doesn't matter. We still managed to seize the area have we not? This cannot blamed on you. Your battle plan is perfect."
George nodded. After a while, the war tank went through the mist. Axe and George stared as the scene appeared before them. It was a great plain, they could also see a mountain in the distance. There were trees here and there, the environment was very good.
In this plain were the magic cannons and war tanks. Naturally, these were the ones who were sent to attack. Axe calmed down after a while and looked at the plain with a smile on his face. His smile became wider and wider before it evolved into laughter.
George recovered the moment he heard Axe laugh. He also looked at the giant plain and understood why Axe laughed. Such a big land would naturally have a lot of resources, minerals, and population. If they manage to conquer this land, then the O'Neal family would become the Atlanta Plane's top clan.
George quickly said, "Young Lord, congratulations. Compared to the Ark Cnotinent, this place seemed to be much bigger. The Young Lord has greatly contributed to the O'Neal family. Young Lord, you should tell the Patriarch about this as soon as possible."
George opened the door as Axe jumped out of the war tank. At this time, they were approached by squad leaders as well as war tank commanders. They reported the situation to Axe. They haven't run into any enemies, there was nothing noteworthy to report.
Axe looked at the surrounding place and nodded, "Inform the reserve troops and have them deliver the supplies immediately. Build a base here as soon as possible. And have scout troops look into the surrounding area."
The captains immediately prepared everything. Axe excitedly looked at the land. He suddenly thought that his decision to enter the Ark Continent's spatial rift was the most correct decision he had made in his entire life. His discovery of the Ark Continent was certainly due to his luck.
Although there was a dangerous region in the Ark Continent, the continent was abundant in resources. Discovering this new plane was a very good thing for the O'Neal family.
Before long, the follow-up team from the Ark Continent arrived and began to build a base. The scouts had also been sent out. Axe had also sent people to send word back to his father about the current situation.
After having arranged these things, Axe sat inside the war tank and looked at the busy people. He couldn't help but feel uplifted. George was also standing right by Axe's side. His heart was similarly moved. He knew what the discovery of this place meant for Axe. This meant that his status in the O'Neal family had become more stable. When the water rises, the boats rise as well. After thinking about this, George couldn't help but feel excited.
After some time, Axe said, "George, you said that you met enemies here. Why didn't they resist our entry this time?"
George, who was still daydreaming, woke up upon hearing the question. He frowned for a moment before he turned to Axe and said, "Young Lord, I think they must have noticed our reinforcements. They thought they couldn't resist so they gave up on this place. They should be ready to deal with us on this continent. I think we need to be careful."
Axe nodded, "That's possible. Moreover, I suspect that this matter has something to do with that Zhao Hai I met before. Remind everyone to stay on guard. The enemy might not give us an opportunity to relax." George nodded before he turned around and left.
Axe turned his head towards the Taurus Continent and said, "Zhao Hai, I know you're in here. Wait for me, I will certainly find you. You'll pay for deceiving me."
Zhao Hai looked at the monitor and smiled faintly, "Interesting. This fellow actually wanted to take revenge. Unfortunately, I cannot spare any time right now. I really wanted to play along."
Laura smiled and said, "You don't have to go there yourself. The undead are enough to deal with them. Right, Brother Hai, now that we have dealt with the Sagittarius Continent, where do we go next?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "We'll go to the Pisces Continent."
Chapter 939 – Laying it Out
Just as Zhao Hai prepared to attack the Pisces Continent, Fei'er and the others were also busy with something. They were sitting inside the s.p.a.ce with a small table in front of them. On the table were some cups as well as several side dishes.
Ding drank some liquor. He took a whiff of the cup and said, "Mister's liquor is really tasty. Our Barbarian liquor isn't as strong as this one."
Fei'er also took a sip of the liquor as he smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know why, but I feel that it's quite bitter."
Upon hearing Fei'er, Shan also smiled bitterly. He drank some liquor in order to forget the pain. Every Barbarian would be transported to the s.p.a.ce soon, they didn't suffer any loss. On the other hand, the Winged Pegasus Clan were still yet to agree on something.
In the past few days, it can be said that Shan was the most busy. He helped the Barbarians move while at the same time returning to his room every night to wait for Speaker Fang.
However, the clan's current situation wasn't doing good. n.o.body knows why, but the nine Supreme Elders weren't attacking strongly. This gave hope to the clan. Some people who decided to enter the s.p.a.ce changed their mind after hearing about this.
At this time, there were less than 100 thousand Winged Pegasus households inside the s.p.a.ce. This was what Shan was most worried about. He didn't believe that the Supreme Elders would let them off easily. The reasons why the Supreme Elders slowed their attack might be because, first, they wanted to exert pressure on Zhao Hai so that he would return. And second, they wanted to keep the Winged Pegasus' hope, so that they would be able to eliminate them all when the time comes.
However, Shan was currently a criminal in the Winged Pegasus Clan. He simply didn't dare to appear in public. But at the same time, Speaker Fang's authority had been limited. Although he was a Council Speaker, his actual rallying strength wasn't good.
Because of these reasons, most of the Winged Pegasus members weren't willing to enter the s.p.a.ce. This was something Shan didn't want to see the most. At this rate, then there would be more Thunder Clan members in the s.p.a.ce compared to the Winged Pegasus.
Ding looked at the two and sighed, "Brothers, we can only do what we can do right now, and leave everything else to fate. How about this, Shan, how about we talk to mister about this. It might be possible for Mister to come and help you. No matter what, we can't have the Winged Pegasus be eliminated by the nine Supreme Elders.
Shan smiled bitterly and said, "I want to contact Mister, but I think he is also having a hard time. Moreover, with the performance of my clan, will Mister still help us?"
Just as Shan said that, Zhao Hai's voice suddenly came, "How will you know if you don't try?"
The three stared before they turned to see Zhao Hai. Upon seeing Zhao Hai, Fei'er immediately said, "Mister, you're back? How come you're here?"
Zhao Hai looked at the three and smiled, "I've heard of your current situation so I came back. I'm still preparing to deal with the Pisces Continent. But do you really need me here?"
Shan quickly knelt down and said, "Mister, I ask you to please rescue my people. Although they have wronged you, I still ask Mister to help them." Then he proceeded to kowtow to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai waved his hand, making Shan get up, then he said, "I'm aware of what's happening to your clan. However, even if I go and help, it's not necessary that they would accept it. Moreover, I'll tell you that I already have plans to deal with the Pisces Continent. At the same time, the foreign races have sent their troops to the Leo Continent. When they arrive at the Leo Continent and occupy it, then the Supreme Elders might retreat."
Fei'er and the others looked puzzled at Zhao Hai. Why would the Supreme Elders retreat? They already reached this point, so why would they give it up?"
After seeing the expression on their faces, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "If I deal with the Divines, then the Divines would want to deal with me. But if the foreign races are added to the equation, then things would become different. When the foreign races come, then the Supreme Elders might change their target and deal with the foreign races instead."
Fei'er and the others nodded. However, they also knew that this was just a possibility, this wasn't for certain. Although the hatred between the Divines and the Foreign Races was quite large, the hatred between Zhao Hai and the Divines weren't small as well. It was still not certain that the Supreme Elders would s.h.i.+ft their targets to the foreign races.
Also, the current Winged Pegasus Clan had some hatred for Zhao Hai. Even if Zhao Hai wanted to help the Winged Pegasus, it might be possible that the Winged Pegasus would not let him.
Shan didn't know what to do in this situation. He was clear that the outcome wouldn't be good, but he had no way of persuading the Patriarch. This caused him to feel extremely uncomfortable. At this point, he was really hoping that the Supreme Elders would change their target, just like Zhao Hai said.
Zhao Hai sat in front of the small table and took his own cup out before pouring himself some liquor. Then he looked at the three people and said, "Sit down. Let me tell you something."
The three began to sit down and looked at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai looked at the three and began talking, "Presently, the defensive line in the Taurus Continent has fallen to the enemy. The O'Neal family's magic armors have arrived. I'm organizing some undead to drag them down. Therefore, Ding, you need to transfer all of your people to the s.p.a.ce soon."
Ding nodded. He had seen the attacking power of the O'Neal family's magic armor. To be honest, he didn't have the confidence to block them.
Then Zhao Hai said, "Also, there's something else. I'm close to ascending."
As soon as the three heard Zhao Hai say this, their expression immediately changed. No matter which race, all of them had legends about ascension. The Divines especially had plenty of ascension stories. Because of this, when the three heard Zhao Hai state that he was close to ascending, they couldn't help but get startled. However, their thoughts quickly changed. If there was someone in the Divine Realm who had the qualification to ascend, then that would be Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at the three and said, "The Divines have a Deity. He's a person from the Cultivation Realm and is the one in charge of our planes. He uses the Divines in order to collect something called Faith Power. Although I don't know what this Faith Power is, but it seems to be very important to them, they really wanted it. But this Deity has been defeated by me twice. And with how I am currently dealing with the Divines, it can be said that I have some enmity with this Deity."
The three listened carefully to Zhao Hai's words. This was the first time that they've heard of this, and they were very surprised. Zhao Hai looked at them and continued, "The reason why I made the three clans enter the s.p.a.ce was because I want to take you with me when I ascend. This way, you won't be under the control of the Deity any longer. Your relations.h.i.+p with me, being my ally, it's the same as offending that Deity. In that case, will he let you off when I'm gone? When the time comes, your clans could only be exterminated."
The bodies of Fei'er and the others shook. Their expressions greatly changed. Naturally, they thought of the horror of the situation. Zhao Hai then went on to say, "I know that you've already discovered by this time that I've been using the Supreme Elders in order to force the three clans into the s.p.a.ce. But I had no choice. If I told you this before, then you wouldn't have believed if. And even if you did, your people won't."
The three smiled bitterly. They had thought about this point before. Ever since they had entered the s.p.a.ce, they came to understand that if Zhao Hai wanted to help them deal with the Supreme Elders, then he certainly had the ability to do so. However, Zhao Hai actually didn't do it. It seems like Zhao Hai was using the Supreme Elders to compel the three clans to move to the s.p.a.ce.
But even if they had thought about this, they still trusted Zhao Hai and didn't say anything. In their opinion, Zhao Hai's s.p.a.ce had better conditions compared to their own planes. Entering the s.p.a.ce wouldn't be bad for their clan. They just didn't expect that Zhao Hai would have an extraordinary reason.
Zhao Hai looked at the three people and smiled bitterly, "I do indeed have the ability to deal with the nine Supreme Elders. However, I won't dare to make a move. I discovered that the plane has started to repel me. If I fight with my full strength, then I would be thrown out even if I managed to defeat the Supreme Elders. I would then be leaving the three clans behind."
After speaking up to here, Zhao Hai sighed and said, "If you stay in this place, then your three clans can only wait to be destroyed. You've seen how strong my h.e.l.l King's s.h.i.+p is. The Divine Race's Deity has a lot of those weapons. As long as the Divines get their hands on a weapon like the h.e.l.l King's s.h.i.+p, then dealing with you would be very easy. Because of this, I didn't dare to make a move. I can only avoid the nine Supreme Elders. I can't risk ascending and leaving you here."
Fei'er and the others looked at one another. They believed Zhao Hai's words. When they first met Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai didn't have the h.e.l.l King's s.h.i.+p. If Zhao Hai had the h.e.l.l King's s.h.i.+p, then he wouldn't have needed to fear the Divines and the Demons. The h.e.l.l King's s.h.i.+p was simply an item that goes against the heavens' will.
Ding stood up and bowed, "This Ding pledges to Mister. Starting today, the Barbarians will treat mister as a deity. This Ding is ashamed for doubting mister."
Fei'er and Shan did the same. The two stood up and gave Zhao Hai a bow, feeling shame. They suspected Zhao Hai before, but now that Zhao Hai laid everything into the table, they couldn't help but feel embarra.s.sed.
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Alright, I've made mistakes as well. If I haven't dealt with the Divine Race's Deity then this wouldn't have happened. Also, you're free to do whatever you want. Wors.h.i.+p me as a deity or not, I don't really care. You can believe in whoever and whatever you want, I won't stop you."
Fei'er and the others sat back down before Zhao Hai continued, "The Taurus Divines have used a formation in order to change the laws of the Ark Continent. This caused the barrier of the Ark Continent to collapse. The O'Neal family is from the Atlanta Plane. Originally, there was one continent in the Atlanta Place. But later on, because of a ma.s.sive war, the continent was divided into three. The three continents are different from one another. One continent practices martial arts, this continent is known as the Warrior Continent. Another continent specializes in magic, it's called the Mage Continent. And the last continent uses things like magic armors, it's called the Magic Armor Continent. The O'neal family is just a big family in this continent. And I suspect that the Atlanta Plane isn't managed by the Divine Race's Deity."
The three looked puzzled at Zhao Hai as Fei'er said, "Why does mister think so?"
Zhao Hai replied, "I think there's a reason for this. You must have heard about the Goblin Race. They were destroyed by the Divines and turned into slaves. They were living in peace along with the Divines, but why were they suddenly destroyed?"
The three looked at each other, they haven't thought about it before. They just thought that it was due to the ambition of the Divines. But now that Zhao Hai said something, it seems like there were some underlying facts.
Zhao Hai looked at the three and said, "The Divine Race's destruction of Goblin Race was due to the command of their Deity. It was because the Goblins have developed magic armors."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Fei'er stared. He had seen one of these Goblin constructs before. These Goblin magic armors couldn't even be compared to the strong ones used by the O'Neal family. So why would the Divines choose to destroy the Goblins?
Zhao Hai turned to Fei'er and said, "The problem lies here. This is where my suspicion comes from. The Goblins had just started researching magic formations and magic armors, yet they were already decimated by the Divine Race's Deity. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Plane's magic armors have reached an extremely high level, but the Deity just let them off. Isn't this strange? Because of this, I suspect that the Atlanta Plane isn't in control of the Deity. It was only because of the Ark Continent that the two planes became connected. If this was the case, then does the Atlanta Plane have another Deity managing it? If there was, then what would happen if he discovers the Ark Continent. If both sides get into conflict, then what consequences would there be?"
With Zhao Hai laying out the facts, the expression on Fei'er and the others' faces continually changed.
Chapter 940 – The O'Neal Family's Worry
To be honest, Fei'er and the others haven't thought about this before. They were too small for matters like these. What were these people? They were Deities, the managers of planes. Compared to the Divines Race's Supreme Elders, these people were much more powerful.
However, the one thing they could understand was that the moment these two existences fought, small people like them would surely be affected. What would happen if these two deities fight and take their treasures out to deal a fatal blow? It would be impossible for small people to survive such an impact. Moreover, in the eyes of these two people, those on the lower planes were merely tools used to gather Faith Power.
Zhao Hai looked at the three and sighed, "Presently in the Ark Continent, besides the O'Neal family, the underworld's undead and magic beasts are also present. The undead and magic beasts are currently hiding inside the poisonous Dark Mist. If we go in, not only would we get poisoned, we would be a.s.saulted by the underworld's creatures as well. Among these creatures are beings with spiritual wisdom, much like humans. At this time, the Underworld had seized the Aksu Empire and it will slowly swallow the entire Ark Continent. After that, the Dark Mist would surely enter the spatial rifts and enter the Divine Realm. When that time comes, the Divines wouldn't be able to stop them, much less you."
After speaking up to here, Zhao Hai let out a long breath and said, "Because of these reasons, I have to use some methods in order to compel you to enter the s.p.a.ce. At the very least, I would be able to provide you with absolute safety. You can live here with relief, n.o.body will come to attack you. You won't need to worry about having something to eat."
Zhao Hai continued, "I can help you block the nine Supreme Elders, but I cannot use my full strength. I could only entangle the Supreme Elders, but this will just waste even more time. Most importantly, I cannot stay in this plane for too long. If I couldn't send you to the s.p.a.ce as soon as possible, then I would risk leaving you behind when I ascend. Because of this, I can only resort to this terrible plan. Although your clans would suffer serious losses, you won't be exterminated at the very least. You're clan could still continue and develop slowly."
After speaking up to here, Zhao Hai looked at the three people's eyes and said, "I don't care about what you might think right now. You may hate me or blame me, I only did what I think is correct."
Fei'er and the others stayed silent. They understood what Zhao Hai meant. However, even after hearing the truth from Zhao Hai, the three still couldn't blame him. Fei'er shook his head and said, "Mister, we won't be unfair to you. You have tried your best, the ones to be blamed should be us." Ding and Shan nodded in agreement.
Zhao Hai sighed and said, "How are you planning to deal with the Winged Pegasus now? Have you figured out a way?"
Shan frowned and replied, "Mister, the clan's situation is already out of my control. The Patriarch accused me of trying to a.s.sa.s.sinate him, ordering the entire clan for my arrest. Because of this, the clan became in opposition to mister. Moreover, the nine Supreme Elders weren't showing their fierce sides. This caused the clan to keep their hopes up, those who initially wanted to move to the s.p.a.ce changed their minds. Speaker Fang is also trying to convince our clansmen, but the result isn't ideal."
Zhao Hai gently knit his brows. It can be said that dealing with this ally was more difficult than dealing with an enemy. For his enemies, Zhao Hai could just dispatch his troops and throw them to the s.p.a.ce. But to an ally, this wouldn't be a good idea.
Ding said, "The Barbarian Patriarch will enter the s.p.a.ce in about two days. He said that he would try to persuade the Winged Pegasus Patriarch in hopes that he would enter the s.p.a.ce."
Zhao Hai sighed and said, "I'm afraid that this wouldn't be easy, it may not succeed. But go on and still try it. I don't much time to take care of your affairs recently, I can only leave this matter to you. Let's just hope that the Supreme Elders would s.h.i.+ft their target to the foreign races. Otherwise, the situation would become more dangerous."
Shan and the others had a heavy heart. In this case, they had less methods to use. Even if Zhao Hai was willing to help them, things still wouldn't be positive. After all, Zhao Hai can't just forcefully take the Winged Pegasus Clan and throw them to the s.p.a.ce.
Zhao Hai looked at the three and then said, "Alright, I already told you what you need to know. I must go back and prepare to deal with the Pisces Divines so I won't be staying here for long. You need to be careful. And Shan, you need to find a solution as soon as possible."
Shan nodded. Then Zhao Hai's figure flashed before disappearing. After Zhao Hai left, Shan turned his head to Fei'er and said, "Fei'er, do you think that what mister said was real?"
Fei'er nodded and said, "It should be at least 80% true. You had seen the O'Neal family. The Divine Race had ruled the Divine Realm for a long time. If they really allowed the study on magic formations, then they surely would have magic armors no lesser in ability compared to the O'Neal family. But after such a long time, did the Divine Race's magic formation change even a little bit? Because of this, I believe that mister was telling the truth. Just like mister said, if our three clans don't enter the s.p.a.ce, then sooner or later we would be eliminated."
Shan and Ding nodded. They agreed with Fei'er's words. Given Zhao Hai's strength, if it wasn't for their relations.h.i.+p, then Zhao Hai would just completely ignore them. They believed that Zhao Hai didn't lack people. The three suspected that the Ark Continent's people, the Demons, and even the Taurus Divines were also inside the s.p.a.ce. Zhao Hai wouldn't have any losses if he leaves the three clans behind. This also made Shan worry. Zhao Hai had shown them the future, but his clansmen still weren't moving. This caused Shan to be at a difficult position.
Zhao Hai emerged inside the h.e.l.l King's s.h.i.+p upon exiting the s.p.a.ce. Upon seeing Zhao Hai, Laura said, "Brother Hai, why did you suddenly decide to tell Fei'er and the others everything?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "They already had suspicions, so I might as well tell them the truth. In any case, they are already inside the s.p.a.ce. If they wanted to leave then that won't be a problem. If they decide to leave, then n.o.body could blame me for what happens to them."
Laura nodded, she also knew that what Zhao Hai said was true. Zhao Hai agreed to move the three clans to the s.p.a.ce because of the current situation. It can be said that the three clans moving to the s.p.a.ce would offer no immediate advantage to Zhao Hai. They would only provide Faith Power in the far off future.
Lizzy looked at the monitor, it was currently showing the situation with the spatial rift. She turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, now that the O'Neal family has entered the rift, how do you plan to deal with them? Will you try to direct them towards the Winged Pegasus clan?"
Zhao Hai slightly smiled and said, "Right, let's just lead them over. Let's see how strong the magic armors really are. There are G.o.d-rank magic armors in the O'Neal family. I want to see how formidable those are."
Lizzy nodded and said, "What about now? Do we attack their base? Stop them from building it?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Just let them build it. The O'Neal family isn't doing very well. We will to deal with the Pisces Divines first."
Zhao Hai's words weren't cursing the O'Neal family. The O'Neal family really weren't having a great time. The O'Neal Patriarch was currently sitting inside his study, a letter in front of him. The letter was written by those in the northern defensive line.
They had made the proper arrangements for the northern defensive line, even sending strong energy cannons. But in the letter, the general in charge of the north reported that the energy cannons were doing a poor job in holding the dark mist back. Even if they used all of their firepower, the dark mist was still expanding, it wasn't showing any intention to stop. To say it bluntly, all of their previous efforts were useless.
This was the most worrying thing for the O'neal family. If the northern army couldn't defend, then what could they do? The expansion of the Dark Mist was almost constant, it wouldn't reduce its speed for anything. It wasn't that fast, but it couldn't be said to be slow either.
If the Dark Mist continued expanding at this speed, then in a few months it would prove to be a threat to the O'Neal family. This caused the Patriarch to have a headache.
At this time, footsteps were suddenly heard. Then a servant's voice was heard, "Patriarch, the Junior Patriarch has sent word."
When the Patriarch heard his se
