All the major forces of the continent didn't think that the war would end this quickly, it was beyond everyone's expectations.
The war ended too suddenly, too quickly. Moreover, the side that won was the Purcell Family that seemed to be in a disadvantageous position. Everyone in the continent could see that the victory of this war was entirely due to Zhao Hai.
They didn't think that Zhao Hai would turn out to be a member of the Buda Clan. They also didn't think that Zhao Hai, a Dark Mage, would be so powerful on the battlefield. His enemies were simply waiting to be killed by him. Most importantly, the biggest feature of Dark Mages was that they could control more and more armies. Naturally, for an average Dark Mage, they could control a certain amount of undead. But this problem didn't seem to exist for Zhao Hai. The number of undead that he could control had already reached about a hundred thousand. This was almost the number of undead that a 7th rank Dark Mage could control.
Although almost every Dark Mage could summon undead, there were still some Dark Mages who specialized in summoning undead. These people spent all of their energy on summoning undead. Because of this, when they reached the peak of 6th rank or 7th rank, they would be able to control about a hundred thousand undead in battle.
Naturally, the undead that they could control were the most common ones. They couldn't be compared to Zhao Hai's undead.
However, those who didn't face Zhao Hai didn't know how powerful his undead were. Therefore, although these people were surprised that Zhao Hai could control a hundred thousand undead, they didn't pay attention to this matter. Instead, they paid attention to several other things.
First, Zhao Hai's identity. When Zhao Hai showed the Wild Dragon Banner, these people already knew that Zhao Hai was a member of the Buda Clan. Adam had changed his name to Zhao Hai, this made the people of the continent very surprised.
It must be said that the Buda Clan wasn't very famous in the continent before. This was because the Buda Clan was just a new Clan in the Aksu Empire. In the eyes of others, they weren't that great. But ever since the Buda Clan was sent to the Black Wasteland, they became famous. Everyone in the continent knew what kind of place the Black Wasteland was. The Buda Clan being sent there was tantamount to being sentenced to death. Because of this, everyone in the continent remembered the Buda Clan.
Secondly, there was an antidote for the Water of Nothingness! For the Great Clans and the Radiant Church in the continent, this was a heavy blow. In the past, the Great Clans of the Radiant Church used the Water of Nothingness as a deterrent weapon. They used it specifically to deter experts. No expert was willing to lose their strength, it was worse than being killed.
Because of this, many experts had no choice but to rely on the Great Clans or the Radiant Church. This was because only these Great Clans and the Radiant Church had the Water of Nothingness.
But now that there was an antidote for the Water of Nothingness, this was definitely a good thing for experts. This was because they didn't need to fear the Water of Nothingness anymore. Naturally, this was a huge blow to the Radiant Church.
The third was the matter of the 9th rank experts. This time, the Radiant Church and Boric had joined forces to dispatch 4 9th rank experts. Moreover, they had also dispatched 2 high level Divergent Ability Users. However, such a lineup was completely annihilated in less than 2 hours. This made everyone who was paying attention to this battle feel their throats dry up and their hearts madly beating. It was too frightening.
Compared to the outcome of the war, these matters were what the major forces of the continent were paying attention to. At the same time, the forces controlled by the Radiant Church had no choice but to face up to the role played by the Dark Magicians on the battlefield.
After a long period of no war, some people had forgotten the fearsomeness of Dark Mages. This also made them forget the benefits of Dark Mages.
But this time, the war in the Purcell Duchy allowed everyone to see the elegance of Dark Mages. Dark Mages were definitely people who could change the outcome of a war. This was the consensus of all who were paying attention to the war.
Compared to the attention of these people, Zhao Hai didn't pay attention to these things. After he eliminated the Rank Nine experts, he began to move on the mercenaries who were still in the Purcell Duchy.
These mercenaries obviously didn't think that Zhao Hai would be able to deal with the Rank Nine experts so quickly. They didn't even think that Zhao Hai would be able to defeat the Rank Nine experts. These people didn't run far. On the contrary, they were preparing to attack Casa City at any time.
Because of this, when Zhao Hai's undead attacked, the mercenaries didn't expect this at all. Because of the gap in strength, they were immediately defeated. In the end, only a hundred thousand of them managed to escape from the Purcell Duchy. The remaining hundred thousand would forever be part of Zhao Hai's undead army.
After doing all of this, Zhao Hai bid farewell to Evan and left Casa City. In any case, he came to the Purcell Duchy to fight a war. He didn't care about other things.
Evan also knew what Zhao Hai meant. Now that the Purcell Duchy had a lot of things to deal with, he didn't keep Zhao Hai and directly let Zhao Hai leave.
Zhao Hai also knew that Evan was in a difficult situation. Casa City was a big city, but it didn't produce food. All of its food was transported from the outside. Although the Purcell Duchy had some food in reserve, it was still difficult to feed the entire city. Moreover, although the Purcell Duchy wasn't able to capture Casa City, it still caused a certain degree of damage to the food production areas around Casa City.
Because of this, the Purcell Duchy once again had a food problem. Of course, this time, they wouldn't be short on food. Many merchants didn't take the opportunity to increase the price of food. They knew that using this method to deal with the Purcell Duchy wouldn't work.
When Zhao Hai left, he left a lot of food for Evan. This way, the Purcell Duchy wouldn't have a food crisis. After all, the Purcell Duchy wouldn't be able to buy food. If they bought food, they might as well buy it from him.
After dealing with the Purcell Duchy, Zhao Hai didn't immediately return to Sky Water City. Instead, he returned to Iron Mountain Fort. He was ready to carry out the next step of his plan. He wanted to turn all of the 9th rank experts in the Carrion Swamp into his own subordinates. Only then would he have the confidence to challenge the major forces of the continent.
Although he wasn't afraid of those major forces, he could still hide inside the Space. However, if those major forces really wanted to deal with him, then he could only hide inside the Space for the rest of his life.
He didn't want to live that kind of life. He wanted to live a glorious life in front of people. Therefore, he needed strength, formidable strength. Although his status wasn't low, his status came from Megan. Only a few people in the continent would take the Buda Clan seriously, what they cared about was the Calci Family.
But Zhao Hai was very clear that just relying on the Calci Family wouldn't be enough, nor would relying on Charlie. He needed his own strength, only his own strength was real, everything else was fake. The Calci Family was a Great Family, they would sacrifice everything for the family's benefit, just like before. Although he was now the son-in-law of the Calci Family, a Great Family like the Calci Family would be willing to sacrifice anyone for the family's benefit, so a son-in-law wasn't a big deal at all.
At the same time, Zhao Hai didn't want to carry the name of the Calci Family's son-in-law for the rest of his life. He wanted people to think of him as the Buda Clan's Patriarch and not as the son-in-law of the Calci Family.
This time, Zhao Hai planned to stay in Iron Mountain Fort for a few days. Not only because he wanted to carry out his plan, but also because he wanted to stay here and see if anyone from the continent would come to the Black Wasteland to investigate.
Zhao Hai was almost certain that people would come to see him. Because of his identity, the entire continent knew that he was a member of the Buda Clan. And since the Buda Clan's fief was in the Black Wasteland, these people would certainly send people to investigate.
If it was an ordinary person, then it would be very simple to just kill them. But if it wasn't an ordinary person and was a 9th rank expert, then it would be very troublesome.
Because of this, when Zhao Hai arrived at the Black Wasteland, he immediately sent out all of his undead, about 800 thousand of them. These undead roamed the Black Wasteland, as long as there were intruders, they wouldn't be polite.
Similarly, Zhao Hai also had Megan take a good look at the Black Wasteland. At this time, the entire Black Wasteland was covered by Cai 'er's Poison Mist. And Zhao Hai had also improved the soil here. As long as the soil was turned over and sowed, it would turn into fertile fields.
In order to maintain these fertile fields, Zhao Hai had already started to prepare the irrigation system. As long as the irrigation system was completed, along with some greenery, the Black Wasteland would become the most fertile field. In the future, it would certainly become the continent's largest granary.
Megan was shocked these days, she didn't think that the legendary Black Wasteland would look like this. It was currently winter, so the land outside was covered in snow. Megan grew up by the sea, so she had seen this kind of scene before. This made her very excited every day.
The other person who was as excited as Megan was Little Jin. This fellow had never seen snow before, so after arriving here, he was a bit scared at first. But in the end, he completely adapted to the weather and played with Megan in the snow every day.
At the same time, the factory inside Iron Mountain Fort was an eye-opener for Megan. Especially the assembly line production that Zhao Hai created, it was an eye-opener for Megan.
Although Megan didn't care about the Calci Family's matters, she still learned a lot of things during this time. Naturally, she also understood that assembly line production could greatly improve work efficiency.
Naturally, there were some products that couldn't be produced using assembly lines. For example, the Beastmen's carpets and rugs could be produced using assembly lines. However, Zhao Hai didn't allow this. This was because the carpets and rugs produced by assembly lines would have a different flavor, making them no different from those produced by a processing machine.
When a person makes something with their heart, it would carry the person's feelings. And this feeling would be passed on to the person who bought it. This was the biggest difference between machines and handmade products.
One had to recognize that sometimes, things made by machines were better, they could even be said to have no flaws. But sometimes, perfection was the biggest flaw.
It was impossible for things made by hand to have no flaws. And these flaws were often where the feelings of the product lay. People weren't perfect, and things were also necessary. Things that didn't have flaws didn't exist.
Zhao Hai didn't allow them to use assembly lines to produce carpets and rugs, but other things were different. Zhao Hai also had a lot of products that could be produced using assembly lines.
Zhao Hai didn't forbid Megan from telling the Calci Family about assembly lines. In fact, Zhao Hai didn't want Megan to tell the Calci Family about Iron Mountain Fort.
Zhao Hai knew that Megan liked him, but because of this, Zhao Hai didn't want to make things difficult for Megan. Letting Megan keep Iron Mountain Fort's secret was fine, but he couldn't make her keep everything secret. Otherwise, when Megan returns to the family, she wouldn't be able to talk to them. This was something that Zhao Hai didn't want to happen.
After staying in Iron Mountain Fort for a few days, Zhao Hai began to prepare to deal with the Magic Beasts in the Carrion Swamp. In fact, Zhao Hai could already treat the Carrion Swamp as his backyard. However, the animals in his backyard weren't very obedient. What he needed to do now was to make them obedient.
After Zhao Hai greeted Green and the others, he led Laura and the others to Flower City. When they arrived at Flower City, Megan was shocked. Although Iron Mountain Fort was now another Flower City, it was still very small. Flower City was a big city that could house 500 thousand people. This was the first time that Megan saw such a big city.
Most importantly, almost everything here was made up of Cai 'er. Looking at the sea of flowers, Megan almost lost herself. This place was really beautiful.
Not to mention Megan, even people like Laura and the others who had seen Flower City before would be shocked every time they come here. This was because this place was too beautiful, too spectacular.
In order to make Megan happy, Zhao Hai and the others played around in Flower City for three days. At the same time, Zhao Hai also sent Zhao Wen out to see what the 9th ranks in the Carrion Swamp were doing. Then she would look for a target.
