Zhao Hai had also changed his habits. Before, he didn't talk about the frontlines to the people of the continent. Now, he would talk about the situation of the frontlines every day. He would have Cai 'er write a document and then send it to the people of the continent. This way, they would have a more direct understanding of the situation in the frontlines.
This was done in order to make them more aware of the situation in the frontlines. This way, they wouldn't think that the war was far away.
While the Divine Race was resting, Zhao Hai's army was also resting. On the other hand, the Demons weren't resting. The Demon Dragon King had already received the news that the Divine Race had launched an all-out attack. Upon receiving this news, the Demon Dragon King immediately summoned all of his high-ranking officers and informed them about the Divine Race's attack.
When the high-ranking officers heard that the Divine Race had launched an all-out attack, they immediately became excited. One of them loudly said, "Great, the Divine Race has finally launched an attack. Your Highness, should we attack as well?"
The Demon Dragon King smiled and said, "The Divine Race has been attacking for a day and a night. I don't know what the situation is right now. However, the defenders of Rising Sun City haven't made any moves. But I think that the only ones left in the city are Human defenders. Zhao Hai shouldn't have the time to block us. Our time to attack has arrived."
Everyone cheered. The Demon Dragon King looked at everyone and said, "If we attack at this time, we can obtain more benefits. However, we also need to be prepared to deal with the Divine Race. Just like Zhao Hai said, the Divine Race wouldn't divide the Ark Continent equally with us. Naturally, we also don't want to divide the continent equally with the Divine Race. The Divine Race aren't weak. Therefore, we need to be prepared."
Everyone nodded in unison. However, all of them had happy expressions on their faces. The Demon Dragon King looked at them and smiled faintly, "Go back and organize the army. After one hour, the army will set out. Our target is Rising Sun City!" Everyone loudly shouted before they turned around and left.
These Demons who had been to the Ark Continent didn't want to attack the Humans as soon as possible. This was because they wanted the Ark Continent to become part of the Demon Race's territory as soon as possible. The Ark Continent's environment was just too good. After staying here for a day, they didn't want to return to the Demon Realm.
After one hour, the Demon Army had finished assembling. Under the Demon Dragon King's command, 30 million Demons set out from the Demonic Abyss and headed straight towards Rising Sun City..
Just as the Demon Army set out, Zhao Hai ordered the garrison of Rising Sun City to be reduced to zero. They were preparing to engage in guerrilla warfare against the Demons. Zhao Hai's army had already left Rising Sun City.
Using this tactic against the Demons would be more convenient compared to the Divine Race. This was because the Demons didn't have a lot of God-ranks. It was impossible for them to support their Domains. Because of this, Zhao Hai was more confident in dealing with the Demons.
Before long, the first confrontation between the Demons and the Demon Cavalry arrived. This time, it was still a group of Human Cavalry that was harassing the Demons. They were about a kilometer away from the Demons and started to throw their javelins. This time, more than 10 thousand Demons were killed. It was obvious that the Demons, who didn't have as many God-ranks as the Divine Race, suffered a huge loss due to the blood lightning beads.
The Demons were also startled. They didn't know what kind of weapons were used by the Ark Continent. They also didn't know why they were able to cause such a huge explosion. This made them very puzzled.
However, it didn't take long before Zhao Hai discovered that they were in trouble. These Demons weren't like the Divine Race. Most of them had Domains, so the Divine Race didn't have long range weapons. On the other hand, most of the Demons were 8th or 9th ranks, so they had long range weapons like javelins, bows, and arrows. After losing more than 10 thousand people, the Demon Dragon King immediately made adjustments. He had the Demons who used bows, arrows, and javelins move to the periphery of the Ark Continent. Moreover, they also kept a certain distance from the Ark Continent. As long as they see a Human Cavalry, they would immediately shoot at them.
This caused Zhao Hai to have a headache. He didn't expect the Demons' bows and javelins to be this powerful. Moreover, their range was very long. Because of this, Zhao Hai was able to eat a small loss. Although the Demons suffered more casualties, Zhao Hai wasn't too happy about it.
This adjustment of the Demons also showed their urgent need for defensive formation disks. Zhao Hai had already discussed with Karen and the others. He wanted them to make a prototype of the disks as soon as possible. Then he would have the Dwarves help him make the disks in the shortest time possible.
Not long after the Demons made their move, the Divine Race's army had also rested. They also began to move, preparing to continue their advance towards the Ark Continent.
This time, Zhao Hai was facing a two-sided battle. However, he was already prepared. He immediately sent out the undead that Lizzy gave him to harass the Divine Race. On the other hand, he didn't change the Demons. Instead, he used the cavalry of the continent to harass the Demons. Even if the damage they caused was very low, they still couldn't let the Demons advance smoothly.
At this time, Lizzy and Megan had already led the undead and the other armies to deal with the pegasus light cavalry.
This army was sent by the Divine Race. There were about 7 million of them, and all of them were pegasus light cavalry. Because they moved very fast, the other units couldn't keep up with them. Therefore, there were no soldiers of other races in this army.
Zhao Hai actually wanted to use the pegasus as mounts for the Human army. This way, they would be able to harass the Demons and the Divine Race. This way, they would be able to move faster and have more mobility.
However, Zhao Hai's Space had just received the pegasus, so he couldn't immediately equip them with the army. Although the Space could speed up the maturation of the pegasus, they still needed a lot of them. It would take a long time to replace the ferghana horses with the pegasus.
It didn't take long before Thunder Yun discovered that Zhao Hai had changed the army to deal with them. In the past, it was the Human army that dealt with them. But now, all of them were undead. These undead were very fast. Moreover, they seemed to be more familiar with javelins compared to the Human army, making them more lethal.
Naturally, Thunder Yun didn't know that the Human army and the other armies had just reached 9th rank. Their control over 9th rank wasn't very good. On the other hand, the undead had reached 9th rank for quite some time. Moreover, they had experienced several battles, so they were very proficient in using their strength. Naturally, their strength was much stronger compared to the other armies.
What made Thunder Yun even more worried was Zhao Hai's adjustment. Zhao Hai's adjustment was very timely. Just as the Divine Race were thinking about how to deal with the cavalry, Zhao Hai had already made the adjustment. Just as Laura said, the javelins and stones were very lethal to the cavalry. However, against the undead cavalry, their damage was very limited. Unless a javelin hit the undead's head or a stone smashed the undead's head, the undead wouldn't be harmed. Even if a javelin pierced through their chest, they would still be able to fight.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai's undead had a certain amount of self-healing ability. As long as their souls weren't destroyed, the undead could be said to be immortal. In this case, the Divine Race's javelins and stones were very limited.
Thunder Yun didn't know if Zhao Hai's arrangement was because he knew about the javelins that were waiting for him, or if it was just a coincidence.
If it was because Zhao knew about their arrangement that he replaced the harassing army with undead, then it meant that they had been under Zhao's surveillance all along the way.
After thinking about this, Thunder Yun couldn't help but be startled. He immediately strengthened his reconnaissance in order to see if there were people from the Ark Continent lurking around to spy on them.
However, this slowed down their marching speed, which was exactly what Zhao Hai wanted. At this time, Zhao Hai needed time to eliminate the pegasus cavalry, to research the magic formation, to build the Accra Mountains' defensive line, and to turn more people into God-ranks.
Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't let the Divine Race off just because their marching speed was slow. The undead cavalry harassed the Divine Race more frequently than the living cavalry. This was because the undead cavalry didn't get tired. Moreover, their supplies were very easy to deal with. As long as the undead left the Divine Race's line of sight, Zhao Hai could take the undead back to the Space and have them carry weapons.
Thunder Yun and the others were now moving at the speed of a tortoise. The distance from Upper Bank City to the next city would only take three or four hours if they flew at normal speed. However, Thunder Yun and the others had already been out for five hours and they still hadn't covered half of the distance. This speed could no longer be described as tortoise speed, it could only be described as ox speed.
Zhao Hai was very satisfied with this result. What he needed to do now was to delay the Demons and the Divine Race. Once Lizzy and the others eliminate the pegasus cavalry, he would be able to free up a lot of manpower to deal with the two races. At the same time, Zhao Hai had a more ruthless plan, which was to besiege Wei and ask for help from Zhao!
As long as Lizzy's forces are free, Zhao Hai would have the pegasus cavalry turn into zombies and attack the cities of the Radiant Empire. When the time comes, Zhao Hai wanted to see if the Divine Race army would retreat or not.
Naturally, Zhao Hai didn't think that this method would be able to force the Divine Race back to the Divine Realm. This was simply impossible. Just by looking at the giants, heavy cavalry, and pegasus cavalry, one could see that the Divine Race had already conquered a lot of small planes. They would definitely be able to mobilize their forces from those small planes to fight against the Ark Continent. Because of this, it would be impossible to force them back to the Divine Realm in a short period of time.
However, attacking the Radiant Empire had several advantages. First, they could force the Divine Race to retreat. Second, they could obtain the magic cannons of the Divine Race and study them. Third, they could capture some green dwarves and ask them about the Divine Race.
However, the construction of the capital city needed time. As long as Zhao Hai had enough time, Zhao Hai would be able to make the Divine Race unable to reach the Accra Mountains.
The construction of Accra Mountain's defensive line had also sped up a lot. Because of this, Zhao Hai's requirements were very strict. Not only were there defensive magic formations, the materials used to build the defensive line were also very strict. These materials not only had strong resistance to physical attacks, they also had to be resistant to magic attacks. In other words, if someone wanted to use these materials to cast magic, it would be absolutely impossible for them to do so.
For example, Upper Bank City's defensive formation was very good. However, once the Divine Race broke through the defensive formation, they would be able to use their magic on the walls. If they use earth element magic on the walls, then the stones on the walls would turn into stone giants and attack the defenders.
On the other hand, Accra Mountain's defensive line didn't have this kind of situation. Zhao Hai requested that the walls here not be made of stone, but concrete. This concrete wasn't the same as the concrete used on Earth. It used materials from the Ark Continent such as gravel, rice milk, and some other things. However, these things needed to be mixed with some materials that can eliminate magic.
In the Ark Continent, anti-magic materials weren't very hard to find. There were a lot of materials that didn't require magic. However, these materials weren't used in the past. Only the Imperial Palaces of some Empires would use these materials for their construction. And this concrete theory was something that Zhao Hai proposed.
At the same time, Zhao Hai also had another requirement for the Accra Mountains. This defensive line had to be focused on the Buddha Empire and not the Lyon Empire. Zhao Hai didn't think that the defensive line would be able to defend against the Lyon Empire.
The reason why Zhao Hai did this was because he was afraid that one day, the Accra Mountains' defensive line would collapse. If the Divine Race were to use this defensive line to deal with the Ark Continent's people, then Zhao Hai would be able to defend the southern part of the continent. When the time comes, even if Zhao Hai was stronger, it would still be very difficult for him to return to the southern part of the Ark Continent.
Actually, this method had both advantages and disadvantages. However, Zhao Hai could only do this at this time. Before doing this, he had already informed the Emperor of the Buddha Empire that this method of construction wasn't to deal with the Buddha Empire, it was to deal with the Divine Race.
