In the past, Zhao Hai didn't care much about the continent's matters. His thoughts were very simple, he only cared about the Buda Clan. As long as it was beneficial to the Buda Clan and himself, then he would do it.
But now that he was in his current position, he discovered that there were a lot of things that he needed to think about. Take the Accra Mountains as an example. If this place wasn't handled well, then it might cause the Buddha Empire to be dissatisfied.
Although the people of the Buddha Empire had already retreated to the Lyon Empire, Zhao Hai still gave the Emperor a city in the Lyon Empire. This allowed him to rule over the people of the Buddha Empire. In this case, the people of the Buddha Empire were very sensitive.
Although they were forced to leave the Buddha Empire, the more they left, the more sensitive they became. Zhao Hai wanted to build a defensive line inside the Accra Mountains. Naturally, this meant the Lyon Empire, Rosen Empire, and Aksu Empire to the north. On the other hand, this meant the Buddha Empire and the Radiant Empire to the south. In the eyes of the Lyon Empire, Rosen Empire, and Aksu Empire, this didn't have any problems. This was to be used for the decisive battle against the Demons and the Divine Race.
However, in the eyes of the Buddha Empire, the more the defensive line was built, the more the people of the Buddha Empire thought that Zhao Hai didn't care about the Buddha Empire. This was equivalent to giving the Buddha Empire and the Radiant Empire to the Demons and the Divine Race, they wouldn't be able to return home.
This wasn't enough, the Buddha Empire's Emperor even thought that if one day Zhao Hai repels the Demons and the Divine Race, then the Accra Mountains' defensive line would no longer be used to defend against the Demons and the Divine Race, but instead, it would be used to defend against the Buddha Empire.
Because he was afraid that the Buddha Empire's Emperor would have such thoughts, Zhao Hai had already communicated with the Emperor before the fortress was built. He even promised that once the Demons and the Divine Race were repelled, then the Lyon Empire wouldn't station any troops in the Accra Mountains.
Zhao Hai did all of this to stabilize the rear. Only by stabilizing the rear would he be able to face the enemy in the frontlines.
Although the Buddha Empire was currently living under someone else's roof, their influence wasn't small. This was because they gave up their country for the sake of the continent. Because of this, Zhao Hai needed to give them preferential treatment. Otherwise, the other countries wouldn't listen to Zhao Hai's arrangements.
These Emperors had the same status as the Buddha Emperor. How Zhao Hai treated the Buddha Emperor today would be how he would treat them in the future. Since these Emperors knew about the strength of the Demons and the Divine Race, they didn't think that they would be able to repel the Demons and the Divine Race. This was because they knew that it was impossible.
Because of this, they were afraid that one day, the Divine Race would attack the Accra Mountains. At that time, they would face the same fate as the Buddha Emperor. If Zhao Hai didn't treat the Buddha Emperor well, then they wouldn't expect Zhao Hai to treat them well in the future. They might even think that Zhao Hai treated them badly because he wanted to eliminate them and take control of the continent.
Although Zhao Hai's current strength was enough to abolish the Emperors and take control of the continent, he didn't want to do so. These Emperors and Great Nobles had ruled the continent for more than a thousand years. Their influence in the continent could be said to be deeply rooted. The commoners had a good impression of these Emperors, so it wouldn't be easy to abolish them.
The reason why Zhao Hai was able to take control of the Lyon Empire so quickly was because the Dragons had eliminated the Emperor. At the same time, the commoners had a very bad impression of the Dragons. Because of this, after Zhao Hai eliminated the Dragons, if the Great Nobles didn't choose Zhao Hai, then they wouldn't be able to protect their families. Because of this, they chose to be loyal to Zhao Hai.
Because of this, Zhao Hai wanted the people of the continent to listen to him. He didn't need to use these methods. Otherwise, if he wanted to deal with the Imperial Family, then the Great Nobles and the Great Nobles would unite against him. When that time comes, the continent would be in chaos. Not to mention fighting the Demons and the Divine Race, they might even start fighting among themselves. Because of this, Zhao Hai needed to consider all kinds of factors. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
The reason why Zhao Hai dared to say that he wouldn't station his troops in the Accra Mountains after the war was because of his status. One shouldn't forget that he was still the Emperor of the Lyon Empire. The Lyon Empire and the Buddha Empire were bordering each other. Between the two countries was the Accra Mountains.
With Zhao Hai's status, if he agreed to not station his troops in the Accra Mountains, then it would be the same as giving the Accra Mountains to the Buddha Empire. Naturally, the Buddha Emperor wouldn't have any objections.
Actually, Zhao Hai didn't intend to give the Accra Mountains to the Buddha Empire. Naturally, the Accra Mountains wouldn't be under the control of the Lyon Empire. Zhao Hai already thought that as long as they can repel the Demons and the Divine Race, then the Accra Mountains would be handed over to the Dwarves and the Elves. This was the safest way to do things.
The passage between the Dwarf Mountains and the Elven Forest was under the Accra Mountains. If the Buddha Empire or the Lyon Empire were to take control of the Accra Mountains, then it would certainly affect the Elves and the Dwarves. Therefore, Zhao Hai's plan was to hand over the Accra Mountains to the Elves and the Dwarves.
Naturally, this wasn't the time to talk about this. Zhao Hai only promised the Buddha Empire that the Lyon Empire wouldn't station their troops in the Accra Mountains. However, he didn't say that he would hand over the Accra Mountains to the Buddha Empire. If that's what the Buddha Empire thinks, then that's their own business, it has nothing to do with Zhao Hai.
This was a method that must be used when necessary. After all, the Buddha Emperor wasn't a diehard follower of Zhao Hai. It was normal for him to use this method to get what he wanted.
Besides the war in the frontlines, Zhao Hai also did something else. In addition to having Cai 'er write down the situation in the frontlines for the Emperors, he also had people read these documents in the major cities of the Continent. This way, the people would know the situation in the frontlines.
Zhao Hai did this in order to stabilize the emotions of the people in the continent. Just as the Emperors were worried about, when they started to organize and train the civilians, all kinds of rumors began to spread. Some people said that the frontlines couldn't be defended anymore, that Zhao Hai was seriously injured, and that the Demons and the Divine Race were about to attack.
There were a lot of rumors like this. Some of them were spread by people with intentions, while some of them were the worries of the people themselves. Moreover, most of the soldiers in the continent were civilians. Because of this, the civilians were very concerned about the situation in the frontlines.
The reason why they didn't care about it before was because at that time, Zhao Hai didn't transfer a large number of troops from the continent to the Buddha Empire. At that time, the ones fighting in the Buddha Empire were mostly the Buddha Empire's own soldiers, the other races, and the rest were the people from the other three Empires.
But now, it was different. Zhao Hai began to transfer troops from the continent. Although he improved the strength of these soldiers, it was impossible for these soldiers to not worry about the situation in the frontlines. Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to announce the situation in the frontlines to the public. This way, the civilians would know what was happening in the frontlines.
Zhao Hai wasn't afraid of exposing his strategic intentions. What he was doing right now was stalling. Anyone with a bit of military knowledge would know about this. It can be said that Zhao Hai was using an open strategy. He wanted to let people know what he wanted to do, but they couldn't stop him.
At this point, whether it was the Demons or the Divine Race, both of them had fallen into Zhao Hai's delaying tactic. Zhao Hai used the undead to deal with the Divine Race while using the cavalry to deal with the Demons. This arrangement was completely correct. Although the fighting strength of the Demons wasn't enough, they were still able to fight head-on. They weren't afraid of death, and with their tyrannical bodies, the 9th ranks of the Ark Continent wouldn't be able to defeat them.
But now, Zhao Hai was using harassment tactics. Whenever there was an opportunity, they would attack the Demons, slowing them down as much as possible. Although the Demons' counterattack was very sharp, the casualties they caused to the cavalry were very small. If the cavalry were to harass the Divine Race, then it would be hard to say what would happen.
The javelins and stones that the Divine Race threw were very lethal. Even the undead would suffer casualties, not to mention the humans.
Actually, in order to deal with the Demons, having the heavy cavalry undead was the most suitable choice. These people were born with divine strength, their javelins were much more powerful than ordinary undead. They were almost comparable to the God-ranks of the Divine Race.
However, in order to deal with the winged pegasus cavalry, Zhao Hai couldn't send the heavy cavalry. As long as Zhao Hai's heavy cavalry appeared, then the Divine Race would know that Zhao Hai was dealing with the winged pegasus cavalry. This would cause the Divine Race to adjust their tactics. This would be very disadvantageous to Zhao Hai's future plans. Because of this, Zhao Hai could only use ordinary undead to deal with the Divine Race. Fortunately, he was only stalling the Divine Race, these ordinary undead were more than enough.
The war between the Divine Race and the Demon Race was still going on. However, the speed at which they were advancing was terrible to look at. Moreover, the last time the Divine Race wanted to deal with First Order City, they didn't expect Zhao Hai to use this tactic. Because of this, they didn't bring a lot of supplies. Although it was impossible for them to use up all of their supplies in one or two days, it was also impossible for them to fight for a long time. The Divine Race still needed to transfer supplies from the Radiant Empire. At that time, it would be time for the cavalry to show their skills.
Zhao Hai has been paying attention to the movements of the Divine Race and the Divine Race. At this point, 24 hours had passed. Zhao Hai was currently releasing blood mosquitoes into the Space. As long as the time was right, the mosquitoes would immediately be released. This time, the mosquitoes weren't targeting the Divine Race, but the Demons and the Divine Race.
