Chapter 624 – You Take Command

Luo Ying nodded and said, "No matter what, mister is our ally. Dashan, Luo Luo, you have the most contact with mister. Make sure to listen to anything that he wants. Make sure that you satisfy his needs."

When Luo Luo heard Luo Ying, she immediately responded, "General, I seem to remember something. Mister Zhao Hai wanted to collect unique beasts and plants as a hobby. Whenever he sees something along the way, he would stop and collect them alive. General, I think we should get some beasts and plants for mister, or maybe something else that is unique, what do you think?"

Luo Ying gawked, "So mister has a hobby like that. Is mister an Alchemist or a Refining Master? That doesn't matter, I'll have someone go and pay attention to this. Right, I have some sea dragon beads on hand. Although Mister is quite strong, it would be more convenient for him if he had these beads."

Luo Luo nodded. Then Luo Ying turned to Dashan and said, "Dashan, what is the casualty count? Are we doing well?"

Dashan nodded and said, "The situation is good. Enemy casualties number over 800 thousand while our deaths are less than 300 hundred thousand. Six hundred thousand of those enemy casualties were due to Mister Zhao Hai's undead"

Luo Ying knit her brows and said, "Our casualties are still more than the enemy. The Sea Dragons have gathered a lot of powerful warriors all these years, we're much worse in terms of fighting prowess. But it was fortunate that we had more reinforcements coming soon."

Dashan nodded and said, "It's also good that mister has managed to gather more undead. If the enemy attacks tomorrow, then mister would gain even more undead, which would be beneficial for us. You've seen how strong those undead were from the earlier fight, they're quite formidable."

Luo Ying nodded and said, "However, I'm afraid that the Sea Dragons might have a Light Mage or Light Dragon among them. Those would bring us some trouble.What we need to do right now is to keep the enemy from advancing beyond this place. We'll wait for more reinforcements to arrive and then grind the enemy bit by bit before we can claim victory in the end."

Dashan and Luo Luo nodded. Luo Ying felt some tiredness as she said, "Alright, let's go rest. I think the Sea Dragons wouldn't make another attack today." The two nodded before turning around and leaving.

Then Zhao Hai turned the monitor off. Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, it seems like they had finally recognized your strength. Are you happy?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "What does being recognized really do? If I weren't afraid of exposing my secrets, then I would've already extinguished the Sea Dragons."

Lizzy smiled and said, "But this is also good, they are now going to look for good things for Big Brother Hai. Brother Hai, how about asking for an Azure Dragon Snail? That thing is very good."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I really don't envy the snail, what I want is their water refining technique. If there's a chance, I would want to learn how they do it. It's quite an amazing invention."

Megan nodded and said, "Well, let's not talk about that. Elder Brother Hai, how about we look at the battle earlier, I want to see it clearly."

Zhao Hai nodded, then he had Cai'er replay the fight from earlier. Then they analyzed it bit by bit. But when it comes to battles, it seems like Megan and Lizzy were much better than him.

After analyzing the battle, Zhao Hai and the others reckoned that he can still kill about 100 thousand more if there was good strategy involved.

After looking at the battle, Zhao Hai relaxed. Then Zhao Hai looked at Megan and Lizzy and said, "Alright, you two are indeed good at these things. I think we can talk to General Luo Ying tomorrow and ask for permission to do an attack using our undead. At that time, I can have the two of you be the commander. We'll take the battle to the Sea Dragons while finding out who their helpers were. What do you think?"

Megan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Elder Brother Hai, do you really want us to command the undead? What if we don't do a good job?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Your worries are unnecessary. No commander starts off good. Moreover, how many undead do we have? And they're quite strong as well. Don't forget, the 500 thousand undead that we used earlier are all doing fine. When we go to the Space, I'll have the two of you command a unit so that you can get familiar with them during battles. Later on, whether it be the Gods or the Demons, war would be inevitable. Me and Laura cannot take command, so we'll be leaving that matter off to you two."

When Lizzy and Megan heard Zhao Hai, they immediately understood what he was trying to say. Zhao Hai making them command the undead was just a preparation for the war in the future. They also understood that the fight against the Gods and the Demons would be more difficult than this one. And at the same time, their side really needed good commanders in order to maximize their fighting potential.

After thinking about this, Lizzy and Megan nodded and said ,"Alright, we'll listen to Brother Hai. We'll be the ones dealing with the Sea Dragons tomorrow."

Zhao Hai let out a long breath and said, "We need to make sure to take good care of ourselves. The most important thing is to prepare to receive the Gods and Demons. These two would be hard to deal with. When they appear in the continent, then we would have no other choice but to fight."

The others didn't speak. The Gods and Demons were like two mountains that were weighing down on their shoulders, making it hard for them to breath. Just like Zhao Hai said, they needed to use all of their energy to prepare themselves in dealing with those two.

They rested for the whole day, and on the next morning after having breakfast, Luo Luo arrived in front of the blade scale whale. Zhao Hai immediately invited her in. When Luo Luo entered the whale, she handed the dragon beads over to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, take these. The general had me give this to you. Later, you can place it on your body so that you don't need to use magic in repelling the water."

Zhao Hai received the dragon beads and carefully looked at it, then he nodded and said, "Alright, I was just about to visit the General. I'll go give my thanks when I see her. Let's go."

Luo Luo nodded and then she asked, "What does mister want to ask the general?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It's about the war. We had always been on the defensive side, we're too passive. I want to take the fight to the Sea Dragons. I want to ask for the general's approval so that I can go and attack them."

When she heard Zhao Hai, Luo Luo couldn't help but gawk. She looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister wants to attack the Sea Dragons?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Right, I want to see how good those Sea Dragons are." Then he came out of the blade scale whale and stepped on the back of a turtle before heading towards the azure dragon snail.

Luo Luo looked surprised at Zhao Hai. She didn't expect that Zhao Hai would want to attack. Yesterday, she heard that the general wanted them to hold the attacks off as long as they can while grinding the Sea Dragons bit by bit. But Zhao Hai's request was in direct opposition to the general's plan.

While she was thinking about this, they had finally arrived at the snail's hall. Seeing Zhao Hai come, Luo Ying immediately said, "Mister, I think the Sea Dragons wouldn't attack today. You can use the time to take a good rest."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I came here today about this matter. I'm here to ask the general's permission. I want to attack the Sea Dragons."

Luo Ying stared, then she knit her brows and said, "Mister, we can just wait for the Sea Dragons here. It's too risky to attack them."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "General, you said that it was possible for the Sea Dragons to have received help from the Humans and Dragons. If this is really the case, then it wouldn’t be good for us to keep this defensive war. I want to use the undead in order to chip away some of the enemy's strength. Moreover, I also want to see who their helpers are."

Luo Ying still refused, "Mister, if the Sea Dragons had help from the continent, then perhaps they would use a Light Mage to deal with you."

Zhao Hai actually laughed and said, "General, you don't need to worry. I've been at odds with the Radiant Church for a long time. If Light magic really did affect me, then I would've already died in their hands. Also, I would only be using my undead in this attack, so we wouldn't have any casualties. If we wait for them to come to us, then we would certainly suffer some losses. I think it would be better for us if I were to take the initiative and bring the battle to them."

When Luo Ying heard Zhao Hai, she couldn't help but think deeply. Mermaids treat the Fishmen like their own family. If they waited for the enemy to attack them, then it was inevitable that deaths would occur. And losing people from your own side doesn't give anyone a good feeling. Because of this, Luo Ying began to be moved by Zhao Hai's proposal.

Luo Ying nodded and said, "Alright, then I won't stop mister. However, Mister should do his best in order to protect your own safety. How about this, I'll have Dashan and a group of warriors accompany you. What do you think?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "General, although Captain Dashan is formidable, they don't know how to fight along with the undead. Even if they do come with me, they won't be able to offer any help. The general doesn't need to worry about me, after all, I don't have any plans to die just yet. There's no need to have someone protect me. In any case, I'll always be in the back, commanding the undead. If things go sour, I can just retreat."

Luo Ying was unable to refute Zhao Hai's statement, so she just nodded and said, "Then I can only ask mister to be careful. I'll be waiting for mister's good news. Right, if mister acquires some dragon beads, all of them shall belong to you."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "The general has my utmost gratitude. Alright then, this Zhao Hai would be taking his leave." Then he gave Luo Ying a salute before turning around to leave.

Chapter 625 – Such a Character!

About thirty nautical miles away from the Mermaid's defensive line was a large gathering of Fishmen. These Fishmen looked much stronger than those from the Mermaid clan's army. Among them were people from the Electric Eel tribe and the Shark tribe. This was the large camp of the Sea Dragons.

The Fishmen didn't have the custom of constructing camps. So these large gathering, the entire camp, was actually situated in a very huge coral reef. But the reef looked very peculiar, its form was like a curled up Sea Dragon.

The Sea Dragons had some differences compared to the other Dragons, perhaps it was to allow them to better survive at sea. Other Dragons were big bellied lizards with a pair of wings. But the Sea Dragons were different, they looked like sea snakes with four feet, and on those feet were some white bristles, they also had a fin on their tails. This form suited them the most in swimming underwater. This coral reef looked exactly like huge slumbering Sea Dragon.

This giant coral reef occupied a very large area, which was a testament to how large it was. But what is even more surprising was the fact that it was evident that this coral reef was not from here. One could see that it was moved to this location.

In front of this reef were countless ropes, which were made out of high level magic beast leather. These ropes were connected to large magic beasts. It was obvious that this huge piece of coral was dragged here by those magic beasts.

The coral reef seemed to be surrounded by a huge blue bubble. One could hardly see a drop of water inside the reef. From time to time, one could see some warriors coming in and out of the structure.

Another amazing thing was that the warriors who were on patrol were all humanoid. They wore fish scales armor and dragon helmets on their heads. Their hands seem to be naked but one could see that it was covered in some sort of metal glove. The nails on the glove showed that it had quite an attacking capability.

These warriors who had gone to patrol were Sea Dragons. Dragons aren’t like any other magic beast. Even if other magic beasts were to become 9th rank, the most they can do was change the size of their body, it was impossible for them to change their shape. On the other hand, when Dragons become 8th rank in their adulthood, they would immediately have the ability to change into humanoid figures. This was an advantage that Dragons had.

And this coral reef was the home of the Sea Dragons, the Dragon Palace!

The Sea Dragons lived in this palace, but they usually don't make the palace move around. It was because every time the palace gets moved, it would need at least 100 thousand strong marine magic beasts. And finding those beasts wasn't an easy task.

This coral reef has been transformed by the Sea Dragons through the years. The inside of it had become like palace, with pearls and crystals everywhere. It was extraordinarily attractive, even more attractive than Mermaid Island's palace.

Sitting inside the Dragon Palace's Great Hall were four people, two of them wore blue robes, robes that seemed to be made out of magic beast skin. The two weren't very tall, about 1.8 meters high. Their bodies were well-proportioned, they had dark blue hair as well as dark blue eyes. Their skins were white and their appearance seemed to be about 40 years old. They were revealing the aura of mature men, looking very handsome and unique.

Another man wore a long gold robe, he had a head full of beard, and was about 2.5 meters tall. He had long golden hair and if one looks closely into it, one could see a pair of sharp horns poking through.

The last man looked very ordinary, he wore a red mage's robe while having a Magic Staff in one hand. He had short but still attractive beard, and had a very holy expression on his face. If a Human were to see this person, then their first impression would be that this person was a Light Mage.

At this time, the younger of the two blue robed people opened his mouth and said, "Patriarch, Envoy, Bishop, I can assure you that our army has been attacked by undead. And their numbers were quite large as well, about 500 thousand undead."

The other blue robed person, who seemed to be the Sea Dragon Patriarch, said, "Illac, do you understand what 500 thousand undead meant? How many Dark Mages would need to command it? Moreover, you're saying that these undead were also quite strong, are you really sure that it was undead?"

Illac nodded and said, "Patriarch, I am telling the truth. After we got caught off-guard by the enemy's Falling Stone Formation, we began to retreat. But at that time, large quantities of undead suddenly appeared around us. The fighting strength of these undead were quite strong. If we haven't recovered immediately, we might have suffered more losses."

When Illac's voice fell, the golden robed man couldn't help but knit his brows and said, "How is that possible? Wasn't there supposed to be no contact between the Mermaids and the Humans? Then how come there were Dark Mages present? Moreover, 500 thousand undead wasn't something that one or two Dark Mages can summon. Were you able to see how many Dark Mages were present?"

The Red Robed Light Mage opened his mouth and with a serious tone, he said, "It's not necessary to have a lot of Dark Mages in order to summon 500 thousand undead. Envoy Ao Ke, I know of a certain Human Dark Mage. He is able to summon 500 thousand undead by himself, maybe even more."

Envoy Ao Ke, Illac, and the Sea Dragon Patriarch's faces changed, these three looked at the red robed Light Mage, then Ao Ke said, "Bishop Joshua, are you telling the truth? Does the Human Race have such a character? Why haven't you dealt with him yet?"

This Joshua was unexpectedly a Radiant Church's red robed Archbishop. However, this golden robed Ao Ke had a much bigger background. He is of the Dragon Race and was the current Dragon Patriarch's younger brother, but only a half-brother.

The birth of Dragons is very difficult, but they were still quite fertile. A peculiar thing about them was that they can more successfully procreate with those that wasn’t of their own race. Although there were still some Pure Dragon births here and there, their numbers were still inferior to those who were born between a Dragon and of an inferior race.

In addition to giving birth to a Light Dragon because of his wife, Ao Ke's father was also able to give birth to him with a Metal Dragon. However, since Dragon law states that only Light Dragons can become Patriarchs, Ao Ke's chances of leading his race has become impossible. Although Ao Ke had both the advantages of being a Light Dragon and a Metal Dragon, he still had to give up the position to his brother. However, his status in the Dragon Race was still quite high. He was even entrusted with the responsibility of being the Envoy of the Dragon Race in this battle between the inferior Sea Dragon Race and the Mermaid Clan.

As soon as Joshua heard Ao Ke, he nodded, and with a heavy expression he said, "Patriarch Alex, General Illac, Envoy Ao Ke, our Human Race did have such a Dark Mage. Moreover, he had become our church's archenemy. To be honest, at this point, we are very willing to pay any price in order to eliminate him. But this person is very difficult to deal with, causing our Radiant Church to lose repeatedly by his hand. The reason why the Radiant Church has been pushed into a corner in the continent was partly due to this man. You might not know but this person is quite famous in the Human lands. He's the Buda Clan's Patriarch, the son-in-law of the Emperor of the most powerful nation, the son-in-law of the Dark Mage Alliance's Calci Family, the Beastman Race's Foreign Prince, as well as being a very big merchant. He is also an extremely formidable Dark Mage, one time, he had turned the Aksu Empire's 600 thousand troop navy into his undead in just one night. For him, controlling 500 thousand undead wouldn't be very hard."

The Sea Dragon Patriarch Alex was dumbfounded upon hearing Joshua's words. He didn't think that such a character had popped up in the Human Race. After some time, Alex recovered and said, "I've got some word some time ago that the Fishman Race has been having secret transactions with Humans, maybe it's with this Buda Clan that Bishop meant? But Bishop Joshua, haven't you thought of a way to eliminate him yet?"

Joshua forced a smile and said, "This Buda Clan Patriarch is named Zhao Hai. He's extremely powerful, we have thought of eliminating him for a long time. In the beginning, we weren't aware of his strength, which cost us five white robed bishops and 18 knight guards. But in the end, the only thing we can do was drive him off to the Prairie. But when he came back, his power has greatly increased. After that, we had made continuous efforts in eliminating him, but all ended up in failure. The most recent one involved us sending forth four 9th rank experts and had them use Life Combustion in order to eliminate him. But for some reason, he was still able to successfully escape. Later on, in the war between the Beastmen and Humans, our plans had somehow become known to the Beastmen. We suspect that this Zhao Hai had something to do with it, but we had no proof. Later on, our Church haven't had the chance to muster up the force that would deal with him. Patriarch Alex, I think this secret trade was established by Zhao Hai. This Zhao Hai had a peculiar personality that made him have a good relationship with other races. I've also heard about him being in good terms with the Dwarves. Based on that, it wouldn't be strange for him to have a connection with the Fishman Race."

Alex and the others couldn't help but breathe in cold air. Although they didn't know how formidable this Life Combustion that Joshua told them was, they estimated how strong it would be judging by the fact that it used the life of four 9th rank experts. For Zhao Hai to survive this attack was quite a scary thing to think about!
