The Prairie Wolves weren't rich, so now that they found such a good opportunity, they certainly wouldn't let it go. At this time, they were really regretting it. They regretted that they ordered 1 billion jin of Bread Fruits from Zhao Hai. But when they heard about the war, they only kept 300 million jin. If they kept the 1 billion jin, then they would've made a fortune.
But it was too late to regret it now, they still made a small profit. However, the one with the biggest harvest was still Ah Tai. Not only did he have a formal connection with the Tiger Tribe, he also managed to obtain the Bread Fruit. In the future, the Bread Fruit would surely be very popular among the Beastmen.
Zhao Hai also noticed this situation. Although he still had tens of thousands of Bread Fruits stored in the Space, he didn't plan to take them out right now. If he took them out now, then the Beastmen wouldn't attack the Humans. At this time, Zhao Hai needed the Beastmen to participate in this war.
It wasn't that Zhao Hai was hateful, he just didn't want to clean up the mess caused by the Radiant Church. This matter was caused by the Radiant Church. Although the war would cause a lot of civilians to die, this debt could be placed on the Radiant Church, it had nothing to do with him.
Zhao Hai and the Radiant Church were enemies, and Zhao Hai wasn't a saint. Therefore, he wouldn't help the Radiant Church. But this war was still very beneficial for him.
Since there was nothing to pay attention to with the Beastmen, Zhao Hai began to pay attention to the Purcell Duchy. At this time, he wasn't only paying attention to the Purcell Family, he was also paying attention to the other people in the Duchy. He wanted to see if the Radiant Church had spies in the Duchy as he thought.
The Space's capabilities were now very powerful. Zhao Hai had also collected a lot of maps of the continent. At the very least, the Space had a map of the Purcell Duchy. Because of this, Zhao Hai was able to easily monitor the Purcell Duchy.
After two days of monitoring, Zhao Hai was able to find some people from the Radiant Church. These people were all experts. Naturally, they weren't 9th rank experts. 9th rank experts weren't cabbages, the Radiant Church had trained a lot of them over the years, but they couldn't just casually send them out.
This time, the people sent by the Radiant Church were all 8th rank experts. There were also some 7th and 6th rank experts. There were a lot of people, about 2000 of them. Among them, there were about 500 8th rank experts. From this point, one could see the strength of the Radiant Church.
In addition to these people, Zhao also found that the clans around the Purcell Duchy had a large number of troops stationed there. As long as there was a situation in the Purcell Duchy, they would immediately enter the Duchy.
When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he understood that the Aksu Empire didn't want to let the Purcell Duchy go. They wanted to use the Beastmen to erase the Purcell Duchy from the continent.
Upon discovering this situation, Zhao Hai couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile. Of course, he was mocking the Purcell Duchy's elders. For a little bit of benefit, they would actually sacrifice the entire Purcell Duchy.
Fortunately, there were two smart people in the Purcell Duchy. At the very least, Evan and Ryan's decision was correct. Zhao Hai also knew that these elders weren't doing this for the sake of benefits. They were doing this for the good of the Purcell Family. However, they didn't understand the Radiant Church, which was why they made such a mistake.
The elders of the Purcell clan may be selfish, but they weren't fools. They knew that the reason why they were chosen was because of their relationship with the Purcell clan. With the existence of the Purcell clan, they had everything they had today. If the Purcell clan were to disappear, then they would be nothing.
The reason why the elders opposed the Purcell Duchy going to Golden Island wasn't just because of the Radiant Church's promise and benefits, they were also afraid of losing everything.
If the Purcell Family went to Golden Island, then they would be in the Buda Clan's territory. After all, the Buda Clan's territory wasn't the Purcell Family's, so they couldn't act as casually as they did in the Purcell Duchy. Because of this, they desperately opposed the Purcell Family's decision to go to Golden Island. Even if there was a glimmer of hope, they still hoped that the Purcell Family would stay in the Purcell Duchy.
Two days later, Zhao Hai saw that Ryan and the others were already prepared. Zhao Hai immediately went to the Purcell Duchy from the Space. At this time, a lot of commoners had already left the Duchy. They had no choice but to leave. The Purcell Duchy's food supply was also having problems. If they didn't leave, then they would be in danger of starving to death.
However, these commoners didn't have any resentment towards the Purcell Duchy. The Purcell Duchy was very good to the commoners. The Duchy's prices weren't high, and the taxes weren't high either. There were very few instances of the Duchy oppressing the commoners. The price of the schools here wasn't very high as well. A lot of commoners' children were able to attend these schools. These commoners were very supportive of the Duchy.
Although the commoners didn't know much about the higher-ups, they still knew that the Aksu Empire had given up on the Duchy. This made the commoners even more dissatisfied.
Because of Zhao Hai's propaganda, the people of the Aksu Empire knew that the reason why the Beastmen attacked the Humans was because of the Radiant Church.
Now that the Beastmen had arrived, the Aksu Empire didn't send any reinforcements to the Purcell Duchy. This made the commoners very dissatisfied with the Aksu Empire.
Then news came from the Purcell Duchy that the people of the Radiant Church had become guests of honor in the Aksu Empire's capital. All the nobles were very respectful towards them, even the King was very polite to them.
This news was like a fuse that made the commoners of the Purcell Duchy hate the Aksu Empire's Royal Family. The Radiant Church was the culprit behind the Beastmen's attack, but the Royal Family didn't deal with them. Instead, they invited them to be guests of honor. Moreover, they didn't send any reinforcements. This made the commoners feel like they were being abandoned.
However, at this time, the Purcell clan began to take action. They sent people from the clan to organize the civilians to leave. This was because the Purcell Duchy was about to become a battlefield.
Originally, the commoners didn't want to leave. However, the Purcell Duchy persuaded them to leave. This was because the Purcell Duchy knew that they didn't have the ability to guarantee the safety of the commoners. They couldn't even guarantee the safety of their own clan, so how could they guarantee the safety of the commoners?
The commoners also understood that they wouldn't be able to help even if they stayed. Therefore, those who had relatives and friends in other places went to them. As for those who didn't have any relatives and friends, they left the Purcell Duchy.
Because of this, when Zhao Hai arrived at Casa City, there weren't many people left. A lot of people had already left. Zhao Hai didn't think too much about it, he immediately sat in his carriage and went to the Grand Duke's mansion.
The departure of the commoners was within Zhao Hai's expectations. Zhao Hai also paid attention to the direction of the commoners. After the commoners left, the Radiant Church didn't make things difficult for them. The Radiant Church knew that their style of doing things was too flamboyant. If they were to make a move against the commoners at this time, then the commoners of the Aksu Empire wouldn't welcome them.
Seeing that the commoners were safe, Zhao Hai felt relieved. Although he wanted to take the commoners to the Black Wasteland, Zhao Hai knew that this was too unrealistic.
Zhao Hai's carriage entered the courtyard from the Grand Duke's Mansion's back door. Evan was already waiting there. At this time, Evan was slowly becoming familiar with Zhao Hai's sudden appearance and disappearance.
It wasn't that he didn't send people to Casa City to look for Zhao Hai, but the result was that Zhao Hai wasn't in the city. However, every time Zhao Hai came to the Grand Duke's Mansion, the people at the gate said that they didn't see such a carriage. This made Evan very puzzled, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Most importantly, Zhao Hai's appearance was always very timely. If there was any trouble here, Zhao Hai would appear. Just like this time, they had just finished their preparations. Evan didn't even have the time to inform Zhao Hai, but Zhao Hai had already appeared in the Grand Duke's Mansion.
After Evan invited Zhao Hai to sit down in the living room, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, this time you came, I think you should know that we've finished our preparations?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Indeed, I already know that you've finished your preparations. Also, I have to tell you that in the Purcell Duchy, there are 2000 experts from the Radiant Church, 500 of them are 8th rank experts. There are also a lot of troops in the surrounding territories of the Purcell Duchy. These troops have already gathered in large numbers. They are waiting for the Purcell Family to be destroyed, then they can recover the Purcell Duchy."
Evan laughed at himself and said, "I already guessed this, those guys wouldn't let us go. It's a pity that those fellows in the family are still holding on to their fantasies. But fortunately, Sir Consecrator agreed with my opinion. He will take Ruyen and the others with you. In the future, Ruyen and the others will have to rely on you to take care of them."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Rest assured, I will take care of them. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will restore the Purcell Family's status."
Evan let out a long breath and said, "Then it's up to them. If they're worth your help, then you should help them. If they're not, then you just need to let them live their lives peacefully."
Zhao Hai looked at Evan and said, "Uncle Evan, you should also come with us. With you here, I believe that the Purcell Family will be able to regain its glory."
Evan shook his head and said, "No, anyone can leave, but I cannot. I am the Patriarch of the Purcell Family. If I leave, then the Purcell Family will be finished. I would rather die here than leave."
Zhao Hai sighed, he knew that persuading him was useless, Evan wouldn't leave.
