Besmir understood that Zhao Hai wanted him to withdraw all of his troops in order to reduce the casualties of the defenders. At the same time, Zhao Hai's troops were made up of undead. This way, they would be able to resist the Demon army for some time. Besmir wasn't stupid. He knew that Zhao Hai didn't need to worry about the Demon army.
Besmir wasn't a fool, he was very clear that it was impossible for Demon City to stop the Demon Army. The last time the Demons attacked, they had to mobilize the power of the entire continent to repel them. Moreover, many 9th ranks didn't hesitate to sacrifice their lives in order to seal the spatial rifts. It was said that the 9th ranks at that time were much stronger than the current 9th ranks. It was also after that war that a lot of famous taboo magic in the continent were lost. It can be said that the current level of magic in the continent wasn't as strong as it was during the war with the Demons, it might even be weaker in terms of taboo magic.
The reason why Besmir said this was because the continent's magic was constantly improving. Just like how people on Earth evolved from cold weapons to hot weapons, from stone age to machine civilization, it only took a few tens of thousands of years for them to develop magic. On the other hand, the Ark Continent also took tens of thousands of years to develop magic. During these tens of thousands of years, the continent's progress in magic was quite astonishing.
According to people's calculations, the magic of the continent wasn't as complex as it was now. At that time, magic was very powerful, especially taboo magic. Its might was so great that it could topple mountains and overturn seas. Although taboo magic could also do this, one shouldn't forget that there weren't a lot of Mages who could use taboo magic.
People studied history and found out that tens of thousands of years ago, it was much easier for people to become 9th ranks compared to now. At that time, there were even news of people ascending to the Divine Realm. However, in the recent tens of thousands of years, there were no news of people ascending to the Divine Realm. At most, people would reach 9th rank.
Although this made people puzzled, they couldn't find any results from their research. In the end, people could only conclude that the magic elements in the continent weren't as strong as it was ten thousand years ago. But was this really the case? No one knew.
However, although the Taboo Magic in the continent wasn't as strong as before, the magic research in the continent had taken another path. Some low-level and mid-level magic was much stronger than before. Moreover, there were a lot of Mages who could use these kinds of magic. Therefore, if one were to compare, the magic of the present wasn't necessarily worse than it was tens of thousands of years ago.
Nobody can say that the Ark Continent was stronger than it was tens of thousands of years ago. Ten thousand years ago, the Ark Continent relied on the strength of the entire continent to defeat the Demons. This time, the Ark Continent needed the strength of the entire continent to defeat the Demons.
Although Besmir didn't know about the situation of the Demons, he was a smart person. He knew that the spatial rift that appeared tens of thousands of years ago was unintentional. Before the spatial rift appeared, the Demons didn't know about the existence of the Ark Continent.
But now it was different. The Demons already knew about the existence of the Ark Continent tens of thousands of years ago. Although they were defeated and the spatial rift was sealed, the Demons had been preparing for tens of thousands of years in order to invade the Ark Continent.
The last invasion of the Demons could be said to be hasty, they didn't have much time to prepare. But this time, they had been preparing for tens of thousands of years. These two situations couldn't be compared to each other. Therefore, it was impossible for them to rely on Demon City to block the Demons. What they needed to do here was to block the Demons for a few more days in order to give the continent more time to prepare.
Because of this, when he heard Zhao Hai's plan, Besmir didn't even think about it before he said, "Alright, we'll do as Mister says. I'll immediately arrange it. Does Mister have any other orders?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I don't. But I want to go to the Gan Family first before going to the Demonic Abyss. I think it would be best if we clean up the magic beasts and undead in the Demonic Abyss before the Demons arrive. Otherwise, those magic beasts and undead would become the Demons' soldiers."
Besmir stared, then he knit his brows and said, "Mister, this is too dangerous. I think it would be better if Mister doesn't go."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "General can rest assured, I've already explored several forbidden areas in the continent. I've been to the Northern Icefield as well as the Carrion Swamp. I want to see the difference between the Demonic Abyss and those two places." Then Zhao Hai gave Besmir a bow before he turned around and walked outside.
When Besmir heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. There weren't many people in the continent who knew that Zhao Hai went to the Northern Icefield, and the same went for the Carrion Swamp. The reason why Besmir was stunned was because Zhao Hai said that he went to the Carrion Swamp.
People in the continent had always thought that the Buda Clan had a secret territory in the continent. Otherwise, where would the Clan's treasures come from? However, no one had been able to find this place. Now that Zhao Hai said that he had passed through the Carrion Swamp, and that he was standing here, and that the Buda Clan's fief was the Black Wasteland, Besmir immediately thought that the Buda Clan's mysterious fief might be their first fief in the continent, the Black Wasteland.
What? You're saying that nothing can grow in the Black Wasteland? That depends on whose hands it is. Other Dark Mages can only command a few hundred undead in battle. But I heard that Mister Zhao Hai's undead army has already exceeded a million. If he can do this, then why can't he grow things in the Black Wasteland?
Zhao Hai didn't care about what Besmir was thinking. The reason why he told Besmir about this was because he was ready to let the entire continent know about the Black Wasteland. At this time, even if he revealed the Black Wasteland, it wouldn't be a big deal.
When Zhao Hai left the General's Mansion, the coachman immediately came over and bowed to Zhao Hai, "Mister, I'm the General's coachman. Where do you want to go? I'll immediately send you there."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Send me to the Gan Family, can you find it?"
The coachman immediately replied, "Of course, Mister. There's no place in Demon City that I can't find. Mister, please get on the carriage."
Zhao Hai nodded and got on the carriage. The coachman closed the door and then drove the carriage towards the Gan Family's residence. In Demon City, there weren't many people who didn't know about the Gan Family. However, the family's residence wasn't particularly grand, it looked very unremarkable. There weren't any tall buildings, it was just an ordinary looking courtyard.
When the carriage stopped in front of the Gan Family's residence, the coachman immediately ran down from the carriage. The Gan Family's two guards were standing in front of the door. When they saw the coachman, they unexpectedly recognized him. The two guards immediately said, "Barn, I didn't expect you to still be alive at this time. Who's here? Let me tell you, Mister Zhao Hai must come to our family. We don't have time to receive ordinary people. "
Barn smiled faintly at the two guards and said, "I received General Besmir's order to temporarily become Mister Zhao Hai's coachman. This time, Mister Zhao Hai wanted to visit the Gan Family, so I sent him here." After he said that, Barn quickly walked towards the carriage and opened the door. Zhao Hai came down from the carriage.
The two members of the Gan Family were stunned by Barn's words. They didn't think that Barn would be pulling Zhao Hai's carriage. Although Barn's driving skills were the best in Demon City, they didn't think that Zhao Hai would be riding in Barn's carriage. In their minds, Zhao Hai would be riding in the General's carriage. Zhao Hai's carriage was the best in the entire Demon City, and his carriage was also the best in the city.
Actually, this arrangement was made by Besmir. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with his carriage, but the Buddha Emperor had told him that Zhao Hai was a low-key person. He didn't want to make a big scene, otherwise, Zhao Hai wouldn't like it. Because of this, Besmir made this arrangement. Obviously, this arrangement was also to Zhao Hai's liking.
Upon seeing Zhao Hai come out, the two guards immediately responded. They quickly walked towards Zhao Hai and gave a bow to Zhao Hai, "This one has seen Mister. Mister, please come in." One of the guards led Zhao Hai inside while the other ran towards the mansion. Naturally, he was going to report to the Gan Family's Patriarch.
Zhao Hai wasn't surprised by this situation, he turned to the guard and smiled, "What's wrong? Are you familiar with Barn? " The guard didn't think that Zhao Hai would be so polite to him. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
Zhao Hai looked at the guard and smiled faintly, "Don't be nervous, just answer my question. I won't eat you."
The disciple recovered, he couldn't help but blush as he said, "I'm sorry Mister, I was rude. Yes, I'm very familiar with Bain. He grew up in Demon City, his parents were adventurers. Later on, he went on an adventure in the Demonic Abyss and didn't go back. He grew up in Demon City and worked for others. Later on, he used the money he saved to buy a carriage. He's the best driver in Demon City. Since he grew up in Demon City, nobody bullied him. His life in the city was pretty good. This time, when the Demons came, the people who didn't have any fighting strength ran away, but he stayed. He said that although he didn't have any fighting strength and couldn't help kill the Demons, he could still use the carriage to help the army transport things. General Bess appreciated his sincerity and allowed him to stay in the General's Mansion."
