Zhao Hai was sitting in his room with Tie Shi, Haishi, and Wen Wenhai sitting across from him. Wen Wenhai looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Boss, how confident are you in dealing with Bao Tianlong?"
Zhao Hai looked at Wen Wenhai and said, "Ten percent."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Tie Shi and Haishi couldn't help but be surprised. Then, their faces lit up with joy. Haishi asked, "Sect Master, are you really confident in dealing with Bao Tianlong? He's the number one expert of the South Sea. "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "That Bao Tianlong thinks that I've only comprehended the Metal Sword Dao. What a joke. He'll never know my trump card. The Metal Sword Dao is only a part of what I've comprehended. If he thinks that he understands me, then he's dead. The reason why I didn't make a move against Bao Tianlong today is because if I really did kill him, then the war of the seventy-two islands would come to an end. If the thirty-nine islands surrender, then what benefits would we get? Who would I ask for the three islands of our sect? "
Tie Shi and Haishi immediately understood Zhao Hai's meaning. The two couldn't help but smile. They didn't think that Zhao Hai wouldn't deal with Bao Tianlong because of this reason. However, just as Zhao Hai said, if he defeats Bao Tianlong, then it would be a huge blow to the morale of the 39 Southern Isles. When that time comes, it would be hard to say how much resistance the 39 Southern Isles would have. If the 39 Southern Isles were to surrender, then what benefits would the Sea Exploring Sect have? Zhao Hai didn't say anything. There wouldn't be any benefits at all.
However, if they could use this opportunity to destroy the thirty-nine islands, then they would be able to obtain the territories of the three islands. This was a real benefit that could be grasped in their hands. Zhao Hai naturally knew what to do.
At this time, Tie She's voice came from outside, "Young Master, Daoist Fierce Tiger and Island Lord Jie Yiming have come to visit."
"Please, invite him in." Zhao Hai stood up and walked towards the entrance. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Taoist Master Fierce Tiger and Jie Yiming walking towards him. Zhao Hai cupped his fists at the two of them and said, "Why are you two here? Please come in. "After saying that, he invited the two people into the room.
After the two entered the room, Zhao Hai invited them to sit down. Then he looked at the two in confusion and said, "Why did the two of you come today? Is something the matter? "
Taoist Master Fierce Tiger looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Jian, we are old friends. Today, I hope that you can tell us the truth. If you were to face Bao Tianlong, what are your chances of winning?"
These words stunned Zhao Hai. He didn't expect the two of them to ask him this. Zhao Hai looked at Taoist Master Fierce Tiger and said, "Taoist Master, do you want to hear the truth? Hehe, 60%. I only have a 60% chance. "Zhao Hai smiled.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Taoist Master Fierce Tiger breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "60% is already very high. Bao Tianlong is known as the number one expert in the South China Sea. You don't need to defeat him. You just need to hold him back. When the time comes, we will attack together. I'm afraid that we won't be able to take him down."
Jie Yiming nodded and said, "That's right. As long as we have a 60% chance, we can attack him together. Bao Tianlong's strength is obvious in the South China Sea. As long as we can defeat him, the 39 Southern Islands will be finished."
Tie Shi and Haishi were sitting quietly on the side listening. Their faces didn't show any expression, but in their hearts, they admired Zhao Hai's ability to lie without blinking an eye. It was really admirable.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, "What? Are you going to join forces to kill Bao Tianlong? I'm afraid that won't be easy. The 39 Southern Islands have a lot of experts. If we really count them, I'm afraid that they have more experts than us. In this case, it's impossible for us to kill Bao Tianlong. "
Taoist Master Fierce Tiger said in a deep voice, "This is indeed not easy, but it's not impossible. However, I think that Island Lord Gui is right. As long as our plan succeeds, we can defeat the army of the Southern 39 Isles. Even if they have an expert like Bao Tianlong, they won't be able to reverse the situation."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "I also think so. The 39 Southern Isles aren't easy to deal with. This time, we still need to see if our plan succeeds. If it does, then that would be for the best. If it fails, then we wouldn't lose anything. However, it would be impossible for us to use this method against them in the future." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Taoist Master Fierce Tiger nodded, then he said, "Let's wait for a few more days. We'll know if our plan succeeds or not. If it does, then it'll be great."
Zhao Hai replied, "I'm afraid that the 39 Southern Isles would send more reinforcements in the next few days. If that happens, then it would have a huge impact on our plan." Zhao Hai nodded.
Jie Yiming replied, "That's possible. How about this, we'll discuss with the Island Masters tomorrow. This time, we'll have everyone send some reinforcements. Everyone should take out their capital. If we don't take out some capital, then I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to win."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, it's time to send more reinforcements. How about this, our Sea Exploring Sect will send another five thousand troops. I'll immediately send people back."
Taoist Master Fierce Tiger nodded and said, "Our Profound Sky Alliance will also send another five thousand troops."
Jie Yiming nodded and said, "Thank you both. Then I won't stay any longer. I'll discuss with the Island Lords about the reinforcements." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Taoist Master Fierce Tiger didn't leave. He turned to look at Zhao Hai and said, "Sect Master Jian, in the 72 Southern Islands, both of us are outsiders. We should cooperate. Am I right?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Of course. What does Taoist Master Fierce Tiger have to say?"
Taoist Master Fierce Tiger looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What do you plan to do this time, Sect Master Jian? I mean, how far do you plan to go in the 72 Southern Islands? "
Zhao Hai looked at Taoist Master Fierce Tiger, then smiled and said, "What about you, Taoist Master?"
"Of course, the more benefits we get, the better." Taoist Master Fierce Tiger didn't say how far he wanted to go in the 72 Southern Islands. Instead, he said that he wanted to get as much benefits as possible. This was also an answer.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I don't want to take some compensation. I'll just go back to the Sea Exploring Sect. If I can get three islands, that would be the best."
When Taoist Master Fierce Tiger heard Zhao Hai's words, he and Zhao Hai looked at each other. Then, the two laughed and cupped their fists to each other. Taoist Master Fierce Tiger then turned around and left.
After Taoist Master Fierce Tiger left, Hai Stone said, "I didn't expect Taoist Master Fierce Tiger and the others to think the same. But this is good. It's good for us."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to rush. We're not very strong right now, so we can only take it one step at a time. Let's wait patiently." The others nodded. Zhao Hai waved his hand and they left.
However, just as Zhao Hai said, he transferred 5000 people from the Sea Exploring Sect. Now, the Sea Exploring Sect's forces in the 72 islands had reached 20 thousand people. At the same time, the Black Sky Sect's forces had reached 25 thousand people. Both sides had invested 45 thousand people in total. Zhao Hai didn't say anything.
However, the Northern Thirty-Three Oceanic Islands also transferred more than a hundred thousand people, bringing their total military strength to more than three hundred thousand people. However, these three hundred thousand people were from more than thirty islands. Each island was equivalent to about ten thousand people. If one were to really calculate, the number of people sent by the Northern Thirty-Three Oceanic Islands was less than the number of people sent by the Sea Exploring Sect and the Profound Heaven Sect.
Zhao Hai understood the thoughts of the 33 Northern Islands. It wasn't that the 33 Northern Islands didn't care about the attack of the 39 Southern Islands. The reason why they sent so few troops was because they couldn't afford to send too many people. If they send too many people, then the defensive strength of their islands would decrease. At the same time, the 39 Southern Islands were also part of the 72 Southern Islands. They would certainly know the coordinates of the 33 Northern Islands. If the 39 Southern Islands sent experts to the periphery of the 33 Northern Islands using transmission formations, then the 33 Northern Islands would suffer losses if they didn't send enough people. Because of this, they didn't dare to send too many people. The second reason was that they wanted to use this war to consume the strength of the Sea Exploring Sect and the Black Sky Sect. The people of the 33 Northern Islands were also very clear that no matter who won, the strength of the 72 Southern Islands would decrease a lot. Although the Sea Exploring Sect and the Black Sky Sect were their allies, who knows when these two allies would bite them. Because of this, it was best to find an opportunity to waste their strength. Because of this, the Northern Islands sent fewer troops in order to consume the strength of the Sea Exploring Sect and the Black Sky Sect.
Zhao Hai already understood this point, but he still sent troops. First, he wanted to use this war to temper the people of the Sea Exploring Sect. Second, he wanted to invest more troops in this war. This way, his authority in the South Sea would be heavier. This would be more advantageous for his plan. Zhao Hai had already seen through this point.
In the next few days, the teams outside received news from time to time. The 39 Southern Islands had indeed sent more troops here. However, the 39 Southern Islands didn't send all of their troops into the attack. Their attack was still the same as before. It seems like they wanted to launch a surprise attack on the 33 Northern Islands.
Zhao Hai and the others didn't participate in the battle these days. Only the ordinary disciples were fighting. Of course, Great Beasts and large artifacts were also involved in the battle. Both sides suffered casualties, but the casualties weren't very high. Both sides seemed to be accumulating strength, waiting for the moment to erupt.
In the past few days, more and more teams had arrived at the designated location. They were lying in ambush around the island that they were going to attack. They were quietly waiting for an opportunity to attack. At this time, only the teams that went to the farthest islands had yet to arrive at the designated location. As long as they arrived at the designated location, they would be able to act immediately. At that time, they would know whether their plan would succeed or not.
Only Zhao Hai knew that their plan had already succeeded by more than half. This was because the 39 Southern Islands planned to attack later than them. They would certainly succeed.
