Zhao Hai looked at the Emperor and knew what he was thinking. Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, the frontlines are fine. Let's go inside and talk."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai say that the frontlines were fine, the Emperor nodded and then followed Zhao Hai to the Great Hall. There were a lot of ministers inside the Great Hall, all of them had nervous expressions as they looked at Zhao Hai.
After Zhao Hai gave the ministers a salute, he said, "The Demons have already appeared in the Demonic Abyss. However, they aren't in a hurry to attack Demon City, they're still building a city."
"Building a city?" When Zhao Hai said this, the people inside the hall couldn't help but stare. But then they immediately understood what the Demons meant. Their expressions couldn't help but turn ugly.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "You don't need to worry. Yesterday, I had a small skirmish with the Demons. I didn't lose nor did I win. Therefore, it shouldn't be a problem for me to delay the Demons for a while. Since the Demons are busy with their city, they wouldn't be able to attack the continent for a while. We still have time." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
The people inside the Great Hall relaxed. Zhao Hai turned to the Buddha Emperor and said, "I came to see Your Majesty this time because I want to ask Your Majesty not to send too many troops to Demon City."
The Buddha Emperor stared, then he knit his brows and said, "What does Mister mean?"
Zhao Hai replied, "Your Majesty, although Demon City is a strategic location, its area isn't that big. It's not suitable for a large scale war. Moreover, the Buddha Empire's elite army is mainly made up of Iron Cavalry. Iron Cavalry isn't suitable for defending cities, but rather for field warfare. Because of this, I came here to ask Your Majesty to not send too many Iron Cavalry to Demon City. Instead, you should send them to the strategic locations of the Buddha Empire. I'll also transfer some troops from the Beastmen, Dwarves, and Elves. With everyone working together, the entire Buddha Empire would become a huge battlefield. This way, the Demons would be caught in a huge quagmire. What does Your Majesty think about this?" Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai.
The Buddha Emperor calmly closed his eyes. He wasn't a person who didn't understand military affairs. On the contrary, he was someone who made a name for himself through his military exploits. Therefore, he was very knowledgeable about military affairs. However, the Demons came too suddenly, so he didn't think much about it. Now that he heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but think about the war.
The Buddha Emperor wasn't a foolish person. He knew that it was impossible to defend the Buddha Empire. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to Zhao Hai's suggestion to withdraw the entire Buddha Empire.
Because of this, the Buddha Emperor agreed to Zhao Hai's idea of turning the entire Buddha Empire into a battlefield. He didn't feel any heartache for the cities, he knew that it was useless to feel heartache right now. Instead of feeling heartache, it was better to feel heartache for the people. As long as there were people, then everything would be fine.
At the same time, he was also considering the feasibility of Zhao Hai's plan. The Buddha Empire's cavalry was famous all over the continent. And with the addition of Zhao Hai's magic beasts, their fighting strength had become stronger than before. The Beastmen were also famous for their cavalry. With these two cavalry units, they could rely on the Buddha Empire's vast territory to deal with the Demons. As for the Dwarven cavalry, although they weren't very good, they weren't very famous. On the other hand, the Dwarven infantry were very strong. One shouldn't look at their short stature, the iron hammers in their hands were very lethal weapons. As for the Elves, although they didn't know much about them in the past, their archery and magic skills were very famous in the continent. But if these races were to unite, they would definitely be able to fight against the Demons.
After thinking about this, the Buddha Emperor slowly opened his eyes and said, "Alright, Mister is right, we should do this. I'll immediately pass the order. We'll set up another line of defense behind Demon City. In any case, the people there have already been evacuated. My Buddha Empire's men aren't afraid of death. This time, we must make the Demons pay the price." The Buddha Emperor nodded and said, "Alright.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you can make the preparations here. I still need to go to the Beastmen and the Elves to mobilize troops. I can't wait any longer."
The Buddha Emperor stood up and gave Zhao Hai a big salute before he said, "I represent the entire Buddha Empire to thank Mister. If it weren't for Mister's actions, then I'm afraid that the Buddha Empire would have already been eliminated from the continent. Thank you, Mister."
Zhao Hai quickly replied, "Your Majesty is too polite, I'm also thinking about the continent. Your Majesty can rest assured, I've already made arrangements for the Buddha Empire's people to move to the Lyon Empire. And with the recent war, the Aksu Empire is lacking in manpower. Therefore, I've already arranged for those who are willing to go to the Aksu Empire. Moreover, I've also arranged for people to go to the Aksu Empire.
The Buddha Emperor looked at Zhao Hai, he didn't know what to say for a while. He was very clear that if it wasn't for Zhao Hai, then the Buddha Empire wouldn't be in its current state. He was afraid that Demon City would have already been captured by the Demons. Moreover, the East of the Buddha Empire wouldn't have a good time.
Zhao Hai gave a slight bow to the Buddha Emperor before he turned around and left the Imperial Palace. After Zhao Hai left, the Buddha Emperor immediately said, "Pass down my orders, have all of the Empire's troops move to Yang Ping, Xia Ping, Xia Zhi, Shui Lun, and Broad Equality. These five cities will form the second line of defense. Then we'll have the Azido River as the third line of defense. I'll have Mister Zhao Hai ask the Navy to cooperate with us. Then we'll have Ivory, White, Parallel, Changde, Broad Tongue, White Hao, Top, Ox King, and other cities. We'll have the Demons fall into a quagmire. We want them to pay a price for every step they take. Finally, with Iron Knight City as the center, we'll have the Buddha Empire turn into a huge battlefield."
The ministers in the Great Hall nodded in unison. The Buddha Emperor looked at them and said, "Mister Zhao Hai is doing his best to buy time for us. He's not doing this for us, but for the entire Ark Continent. We, the Buddha Empire, have never been afraid of war. Mister Zhao Hai can do anything for the Ark Continent, and the Buddha Empire can do the same. Our homeland has turned into a battlefield, but this is our home. Nobody is more familiar with it than us. We want the Demons to understand that the Buddha Empire isn't a place where they can come and go as they please!"
The ministers in the Great Hall shouted in unison, "Your Majesty is mighty!"
The Buddha Emperor looked at the ministers and said, "The Ark Continent has reached a critical period. The brothers of the foreign races have come to help. I want you all to remember that from now on, the foreign races are our Human brothers. Pass down my order, nobody is allowed to be rude to the foreign races. If I find out about this, I will behead them without mercy!" The ministers nodded in agreement.
The Buddha Emperor nodded and said, "Go and prepare the supplies. Then report to me. I'll ask Mister for help. You may leave!" The ministers complied, then they gave a salute before they turned around and left.
After the ministers left, the Buddha Emperor slowly sat down on his Dragon Throne. His eyes shone as he laughed and said, "Good, good. Demon bastards, let me see if the Demons are more formidable than my Buddha Empire's cavalry! Hahahaha! " After experiencing what happened in the Buddha Empire, the panic and dispirited feelings of the past few days had been swept away. Instead, it aroused his heroic spirit. Just like when he was training in the army, he was like an ordinary soldier, facing an enemy that was several times bigger than him. But after becoming the Emperor, he learned to be calm. His hot-bloodedness had slowly faded away, but just now, his blood had been reignited once again.
Zhao Hai didn't know about this. At this time, he had already arrived at the Elves' Tree of Life. The Elves also knew about Zhao Hai, so they immediately informed the Queen about his arrival. At the same time, they also invited Zhao Hai to the Imperial Palace.
When Zhao Hai arrived at the Imperial Palace, the Empress and the newly appointed Great Elder came out. Zhao Hai quickly gave a salute to the two and said, "I have seen Your Majesty, I have seen the Great Elder!"
The Queen quickly replied, "Mister doesn't need to be so polite. May I know why Mister came to the Elven Race at this time?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I have something important to discuss with Your Majesty. It's like this …" Then Zhao Hai told the Queen about his discussion with Billy. After he finished, he turned to the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, I came this time to ask Your Majesty to send troops to Demon City. First, send some troops to Demon City to help me defend the city. After that, I would like to discuss this matter with the Buddha Emperor. What does Your Majesty think?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I came this time to ask Your Majesty to send troops to Demon City.
The Queen knit her brows, to be honest, she didn't like having the Elves and the Humans fight side by side. However, she also knew that Zhao Hai's plan was feasible. She immediately nodded and said, "Alright, I'll do as Mister says. I'll gather 5000 Archers and head to Demon City to await Mister's orders."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I still need to go to the Beastmen to mobilize some troops, so I won't be staying here any longer. Your Majesty can rest assured, with the appearance of the Elves in the continent, nobody would dare to be rude to the Elves. Otherwise, I, Zhao Hai, would be the first one to deal with them. Also, before I leave, I will leave behind 5000 Blood Hawks for the Elves to use as mounts. This time, these 5000 archers will be used to fight the enemy's air force. The Blood Hawks are more suitable for aerial battles compared to the Voiceless Soundbirds. When Your Majesty gathers your troops, you can directly ride the Blood Hawks to Demon City."
The Queen nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll listen to Mister's arrangement. Mister, please go ahead. I'll prepare everything here." Zhao Hai gave the Queen a bow before he turned around and left.
After Zhao Hai left, the Great Elder turned to the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it too early to send troops? Actually, with our Elven Race's strength, we only need to defend the Elven Forest. I believe that the Demons wouldn't go all out to deal with us, so why would they ignore the Humans? Why should we cooperate with them and send troops now? "
