Chapter 696 – Deploying Troops
When Zhao Hai saw the Emperor's expression, he immediately knew what the other was thinking. He smiled at the Emperor and said, "There's no need for Your Majesty to be worried, everything is going fine. Let's head inside first."
Upon hearing that there wasn’t anything wrong with the frontline, the Emperor nodded. Then they returned back into the Great Hall. There were also plenty of ministers present inside, all of them were anxiously looking at Zhao Hai.
After giving a salute to the ministers, Zhao Hai said, "The Demons have appeared in the Demonic Abyss. However, they didn't attack Demon City immediately. Instead, they actually went and started to build a city."
"Building a City?" What Zhao Hai said made the other people gawk. But then, they immediately understood the actions of the Demons, each and every one of their complexions couldn't help but change.
Zhao Hai looked at those present and said, "Everyone, there's no need to worry too much. I had a small contact with the Demons yesterday, none of us lost nor won. This means that I can stop the Demons there for quite some time. And since the Demons are busy with their city, we still have some time before they begin to launch attacks towards the continent."
The crowd relaxed, then Zhao Hai turned his head to the Buddha Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I want to ask you to refrain from sending too many troops to Demon City."
The Buddha Emperor stared, then he knit his eyebrows and said, "Mister's meaning is?" Then Zhao Hai replied, "Although Demon City is in a strategic place, its terrains isn't suited for large scale battles. Moreover, the Buddha Empire's elite cavalry isn't really suitable to defend a city. Instead, they excelled in wide plain battles. Because of this, I came here to ask Your Majesty to not send too many Iron Knights to Demon City. Instead, we should divide them to various strategic points in the Buddha Empire. I shall also be asking the Dwarves, Elves, and Beastmen to help with the fight. We'll be making the entire Buddha Empire into a giant battlefield. And establishing our own advantages here will be good against the Demon attack."
The Buddha Emperor quietly closed his eyes. He wasn't someone who didn't understand military affairs. On the contrary, he actually started in the military, so he was very familiar with strategic decisions. The Demons had come suddenly and he wasn't able to think much about them at all. So when he heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but think about the matters of the war.
The Buddha Emperor wasn't dumb, he knew that it was impossible for the Buddha Empire alone to block the Demon Advance. Otherwise, he wouldn't have listened to Zhao Hai's request to have the civilians be evacuated.
Because of this, the Buddha Emperor was in staunch agreement with regards to turning his entire Empire into a huge battlefield. His heart didn't feel pain for those cities, he knew that all of these needed to be done. As long as the citizens are alive, then the Empire is still standing.
At the same time, he was also considering the feasibility of Zhao Hai's plan. The Buddha Empire's Iron Knight Cavalry was very well-known. Additionally, when they mounted the beasts that Zhao Hai brought, the Buddha Empire's Cavalry, along with the Beastmen, can definitely take advantage of the Buddha Empire's plains in order to resist the Demon advance. On the other hand, having Dwarf Infantry was also very good in defending Demon City. After all, the Dwarves were formidable melee fighters. One shouldn't underestimate them just because they are short, the hammers in their backs can easily deal heavy strikes with each swing. Although there weren't much news with regards to the Elves in recent years, it was also known that the magic and archery of the Elves were top notch. Having a mixed army like this would actually help in dealing with the Demon Race.
After thinking about it, the Buddha Emperor opened his eyes slowly and said, "Alright, then we'll move according to Mister's plan. I shall immediately send orders, sending one army troop to defend Demon City. In any case, they are already itching for a fight. My Buddha Empire's soldiers aren't afraid to die, all of them wanted to make the Demons pay for the price of invading the Ark Continent.'
Zhao Hai nodded, "Then I'll leave you here to prepare. I'll be meeting the Beastmen and the Elves next. We cannot delay in deploying troops."
The Buddha Emperor stood up and gave Zhao Hai a big salute, "I represent the entire Buddha Empire in expressing our gratitude to Mister. If not for your effort in going back and forth between nations, then the Buddha Empire might have already been buried in history."
Zhao Hai was then quick to reply, "Your Majesty is too polite, I'm just considering the fate of the entire continent. Your Majesty can rest assured, I've already arranged for your people's stay inside the Lyon Empire. At the same time, the Aksu Empire has been short of people, for those who are willing to help with the manpower, I shall have them sent there by boat."
The Buddha Emperor looked at Zhao Hai, he didn't know what to say. He knew that without Zhao Hai, it would be impossible for the Buddha Empire to survive. They might already been conquered by the Demons by now. Moreover, the eastern parts of the Buddha Empire might have also fallen to the Dragon-ruled Lyon Empire.
Zhao Hai gave the Buddha Emperor a slight bow as he turned around to leave the Imperial palace. When Zhao Hai left, the Buddha Emperor immediately sent some orders, "Pass this order, have the armies near the Rising Sun City, Lower Bank City, South Plain City, Water Wheel City, Broad Flat City congregate. Have them form a defensive line along the river. The west bank cities would need to do the same as well. Mister told me that he would have marine friends assist us, so we should fortify the river locations. Run along the other branches of Iron Warhorse City and have armies stationed there as well. Control the logistics and have all those points interconnected with each other. Let's make the Demons regret going through the Buddha Empire, we'll make them bleed out with every step they make. With the capital as the center, we will have six strategic lines going outwards. The Buddha Empire will be the greatest fortress the continent has ever seen."
The officials in the Great Hall issued a huge shout. The Buddha Emperor looked at them and said, "Mister Zhao Hai has been going all out in the frontlines. He is doing this not only for us, but also for the entire continent. We, the Buddha Empire, are not afraid of war. Since Mister Zhao Hai is willing to give his all to the continent, then the Buddha Empire shall help him by becoming an advantageous battlefield for the alliance. This is our home, there's nobody more familiar with the place than us. We shall make the Demons understand that it was a mistake stepping in the lands if the Buddha Empire!" Overwhelmed with his emotions, the Buddha Empire even slammed the table right in front of him.
The Ministers in the Great Hall simultaneously shouted, "Long Live the Buddha Empire!! Long Live his Majesty!" The Buddha Emperor looked at tho officials and said, "The entire Ark Continent has entered a special period. Various brothers from the other races will be helping us. I want all of you to remember that from now on, all these races will be the friends of the Human Race. Spread my command, have all our brothers from a different race be treated with utmost hospitality. Anyone disobeying this rule will be punished heavily!"
The ministers acknowledged the order. Then the Buddha Emperor nodded and said, "Go and make your preparations. Tabulate the needed materials and then report back to me. We'll be asking mister for help in this regard. Now go!" After giving a bow, the ministers proceeded to leave the Great Hall.
When everyone left, the Buddha Emperor slowly sat down on his throne. His eyes were shining brightly as he laughed by himself, "Hahaha, be quick, Demons. Let me see who is more formidable, you or my Iron Knights! Hahaha" After all that happened in the Buddha Empire, the fear and anxiety that the Buddha Emperor felt had been swept away. Instead, it actually provoked his arrogance. He suddenly reverted back to his attitude back when he was just an ordinary soldier, during the times where he was still hot-blooded and was charging his enemies in the frontlines. Ever since he had become the Emperor, this mindset had slowly withdrew. But now, it seems like it was reignited due to the upcoming war.
Zhao Hai wasn't aware about this, he was currently inside the Elven Forest. When the Elves spotted Zhao Hai, they immediately sent a report to the Queen who invited Zhao Hai directly to the Royal Palace.
Upon arriving at the palace hall, Zhao Hai met the newly appointed Great Elder. He immediately gave a bow to the Queen and the elder before saying, "I have seen Your Majesty and the Great Elder."
The Queen quickly replied, "Mister doesn't need to conform to ceremony. May I know why mister made a visit this time?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I have an important matter to tell you, Your Majesty. The matter is like this…." Then Zhao Hai told the Queen the matter that he had discussed with Billy. "Your Majesty, I'd like it if you are to send troops to help defend Demon City. I have discussed this matter with the Buddha Emperor as well. What do you think?"
The Queen frowned, to be honest, she didn't want the Elves to mingle with the others. However, she was also aware of how effective Zhao Hai's plan would be. Therefore, she gave a nod and said, "Alright, then I shall send 5000 archers to be dispatched to Demon City."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Then Your Majesty has my gratitude. I won't be staying here for long, I still need to go to the Beastmen. However, Your Majesty can rest assured, nobody would dare touch the Elves if they appear in the continent. Otherwise, I shall be the first one to punish them. And also, when I leave, I shall be leaving 5000 Blood Hawks to be the mounts of the Elves. The Blood Hawks are more suitable mounts for combat compared to the Voiceless Soundbirds. When Your Majesty has prepared your army, you can have them ride the Blood Hawk towards Demon City." The Queen nodded and said, "Alright, then we shall be following Mister's arrangement." Zhao Hai gave the Queen a bow before he turned around to leave.
When Zhao Hai left, the Great Elder looked at the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, should we really dispatch troops this early? To be honest, with our current strength, we can sufficiently hold the Demons back inside the forest. On the other hand, why do we need to work together with the Humans?"
Chapter 697 – Bustling About
The Queen shook her head and said, "Things aren't as easy as that. Although the Elven Forest is indeed our Domain, but our population isn't really that many. On the other hand, it is for certain that the Demons will come in huge numbers. Even if we can slow them down, we would also become grinded down by numbers. There is no problem with us working with the Humans. Also, if we stay here, and the Humans aren't able to stop the Demons, do you think that we can stop them? That's impossible." The Great Elder nodded, she knew that the Queen was right. Compared to the Humans, their population was indeed to small. The Elves and the Demons have the same long life, but the Elves have the problem of procreation. This made their numbers quite small. If they were to have a battle of attrition with the Demons, then they would definitely lose.
The Queen turned to the Great Elder and said, "Moreover, Mister Zhao Hai already gave us his guarantee, there shouldn't be any problems if we dispatch our troops. This is also a huge opportunity for all the races in the continent. If the Ark Continent can work together to resist the Demons and the Divine Race, as well as defending the Ark Continent, then the races would have an unprecedented unity for a very long time. Because of this, we cannot just hole up inside the Elven Forest." The Great Elder nodded, the Elves weren't people who didn't have any problem.s Although they had been living good lives inside the forest, the Great Elder knew that there were still things that they lacked. Before they got in contact with the Dwarves, they were in fact living worse lives.
Zhao Hai wasn't thinking about any of these right now, he was going see the Beast King. The Beast King had also been preparing for the past few days. At this time, the entire Beastman Prairie was already aware about the Demon Race. But since they were too far from the frontlines, the only thing they can provide would be living materials as well as preparing some area for the eventual Human refugees. Aside from that, there wasn't anything that they can do.
The Beast King wasn't very busy when Zhao Hai arrived, therefore, he immediately invited Zhao Hai over to this study. The Beast King looked at Zhao Hai and said, "How is it? How is the frontline?" Zhao Hai smiled at the Beast King and said, "The frontline is doing fine. This time, I came here in order to ask for some troops from the Beastmen." The Beast King stared for a moment, then he said, "Really? That's great! The Warring Clans have been itching for a fight. But unfortunately, we are just too far away from the Buddha Empire. So when will I send the troops?"
When he saw the Beast King's excitement, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile and said, "There's no need to go quickly. I only came here to ask you for troops. At this time, it would be great if you can prepare some people to help defend Demon City. And then…." Zhao Hai continued on to tell the Beast King about the plans regarding the Buddha Empire.
After listening to Zhao Hai, the Beast King repeatedly nodded and said, "Alright, that's great. I'll arrange for the troops right away. You said you needed an army to defend Demon City? I already have a race in mind. They're quite fond of Humans and are quite gentle. However, they are extremely strong, and are one of the few infantry focused races in the Prairie. Although they have mounts as well, their speed really aren’t that good. Defending cities shouldn't be a problem for them."
Zhao Hai nodded, "That's good. Then I'll be returning to Demon City. When your army have gathered, go send me word and I'll take them with me to Buddha Empire and Demon City."
The Beast King nodded and said, "Alright, then just wait for information. The Beastmen had always wanted to try the strengths of those Demons. Thank you."
Zhao Hai laughed and said, "Alright, then I'll be leaving. There are still things that are needed to be processed in the frontline." The Beast King nodded, then Zhao Hai returned to the Space.
However, he didn't immediately go back to Demon City. Instead, he went to the Aksu Empire in order to see Boris. Although the army of the Aksu Empire has been restored, their veteran fighters were eliminated during the war with the Beastmen. This placed the Aksu Empire's strength at the bottom of all the Empires. However, the Aksu Empire was still very cooperative now that the Demons were invading. They were providing goods to the others and was even willing to take in Buddha Empire refugees. Because of this, Zhao Hai felt the need to see Boris and discuss the new plan with him.
Boris and Zhao Hai were mortal enemies in the past, but now, the sentiment was different. They were now allies, moreover, the two haven't met in person in the past, so there wasn't any awkwardness between the two of them.
Boris welcomed Zhao Hai to his study, then after his people served them some tea, Boris looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Did Mister come because an accident happened in the frontline?" Zhao Hao was a bit startled, however, he managed to smile and said, "There's no need to worry, the frontline is doing just fine. This time, I came to discuss a different matter." Then he told Boris about what happened to the front line, then Zhao Hai looked at Boris and said, "Your Majesty, I know about the current state of the Aksu Empire. Therefore, I won't be asking you to dispatch some troops. However, as the war in the frontline goes on, I may need to ask for assistance, so please prepare your troops just in case. If you need anything, then don't hesitate to send word." Boris nodded, "Alright, you can rest assured that the Aksu Empire will give full cooperation. My Aksu Empire might have made the wrong decision in the past, however, we won't be repeating our mistakes this time."
Zhao Hai gave a nod, then he said, "Alright, then my matters here has been settled. I'll be heading to the Rosen Empire next to discuss matters with the Rosen Emperor." Borise stood up and then bowed towards Zhao Hai, "Boris must thank Mister Zhao Hai. You and I are enemies, yet you decided to ignore that fact and help us. This makes me feel very guilty. Mister can rest assured, the Aksu Empire shall give its all in supporting this war." Zhao Hai returned Boris' bow and said, "Your Majesty is too polite. Yours and my enmity is no more than a dispute between Humans. This time, we must unite in order to repel the invaders. In the end, the Aksu Empire has already sided with the Ark Continent Alliance. I hope that Your Majesty takes care of the rear while also providing help to the frontline."
Boris replied, "Mister can rest assured, I know how to do this." Zhao Hai nodded and then bowed to Boris once more before turning around to head towards Rosen Empire.
Zhao Hai wanted to transfer some Rosen and Lyon Empire troops to the Buddha Empire. The Buddha Empire was known for their Iron Knights, the Rosen Empire for their Iron Infantry, while the Lyon Empire for their magic beast cavalry. The Rosen Empire troops are very skilled in defending cities, on the other hand, the Lyon Cavalry was quite skilled in the plains. These two qualities were very needed by the Buddha Empire right now.
Zhao Hai didn't return to the Rosen Empire for quite some time. Although he was now the Emperor of the Lyon Empire, Zhao Hai didn't really want to be one right now. So in seeing the Rosen Emperor, he still conducted himself as a son-in-law. This gave the Emperor a good impression of him.
When Zhao Hai arrive to the Imperial Palace, the Emperor was already holding a conference. Naturally, this was a discussion about the Demon Race.
While they discussed, a court eunuch suddenly arrived and reported Zhao Hai's arrival. The Emperor and Randolph were startled, they were thinking that something must've happened in the front line. The Emperor immediately said, "Invite him in, quickly."
After Zhao Hao entered the room, he immediately gave salute to the Emperor and Randolph. The Emperor looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What's the matter Little Hai? Did an accident happen in Demon City? With your strength, it should be impossible for the Demons to break through this quickly. So what happened?"
Zhao Hai immediately replied, "Father-in-law, there aren't any problems with the frontline. As long as we have hold over Accra Mountain, there won't be any major problems in our defense. I have just visited the various powers, and even Boris to discuss something. This time, I came to see father-in-law to discuss the same thing. I'd like for the Rosen Empire to send troops over to the Buddha Empire in order to aid with the defense."
The Emperor nodded and said, "This isn't an issue. I've also thought about establishing an advance defensive line. We can't just be overly passive. At the same time, the Buddha Empire is known for its Iron Knights, they can only express their full might in the plains. On the other hand the Rosen Empire troops are very skilled in siege warfare. We're already prepared here, just tell us how much troops you need and we'll provide it to you." Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll make sure to send a number as soon as possible. I really can't stay here for long, I still have a lot of matters to deal with."
The Emperor nodded, "You are my son-in-law, so I will definitely support you. You go busy yourself now. There's no need to worry about our side. Focus on teaching those bastard Demons a lesson they won't ever forget."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Father-in-law can rest assured, we'll be doing just that."
The Emperor gave a satisfied nod and said, "Right how are Lizzy and Megan? You've been everywhere lately, how are they doing? Since they can't provide help, then they might as well come home lest they provide you with unnecessary trouble."
Zhao Hai forced a smile and said, "Father-in-law, that's not a good idea. They really aren't giving me any trouble, instead, they are actually very helpful. At this point, the formations for my undead have already been handed to the two of them. Their talent in commanding is very good."
The Emperor and Randolph couldn’t help but stare, the Emperor looked puzzled at Zhao Hai as he said, "You have Megan and Lizzy take charge of your undead? Am I hearing it right?" Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I won't dare to deceive you, I'm telling the truth. Megan and Lizzy have already been commanding my undead for quite some time. Especially back in the Fishman territory, they were a great help in defeating the Sea Dragons. In the war with the Demons, I'm also thinking of having the two of them command my undead. If they are to go home, then that would be a huge problem for me."
The Emperor laughed and said, "Alright, that's good. I didn't think that those two girls had such a skill. Alright, then we'll have them continue to accompany you. However, you must ensure that they are safe at all times."
Zhao Hai quickly replied, "Father-in-law can feel relieved. I will certainly keep them safe."
Chapter 698 – Crucial Refining
Zhao Hai was currently looking at Bubble who was floating in front of him. Although Zhao Hai can't see any expression on him, he was sure that Bubble was having a smug expression.
However, Zhao Hai was too glad to mess around with Bubble. This was because the little blob was now able to do refining. Moreover, the experiments done on the Space's plants yielded great results. Bubble was now ready to refine the lotus. Zhao Hai was wondering what surprises the lotus would bring once it has been refined.
Zhao Hai looked at Bubble, then he snorted and said, "What are you being so smug about? Go and start working on the lotus. Refine everything in the pool as well. If anything goes wrong, then I will definitely clean you up."
Bubble wasn't very afraid of Zhao Hai, he was smart, he knew that although Zhao Hai was being hostile, Zhao Hai wouldn't do anything to him. Zhao Hai just cared too much about the lotus, so if anything goes wrong, then Zhao Hai would be very disappointed.
Although Bubble was quite a headache, in fact, he had already considered Zhao Hai as his master. He knew when things were crucial and when he could mess around. So upon hearing Zhao Hai, Bubble immediately turned around and went to the pool where the lotus was placed. Then after a moment, the lotus pool suddenly disappeared. Zhao Hai wasn't too surprised about it, he knew that Bubble had his own space inside his body where he can store things. Bubble just needed the lotus to be inside so that he can slowly refine it .
Zhao Hai made Bubble come closer, then he looked into Bubble's transparent body and saw a small bubble where the lotus was located. Zhao Hai nodded and then looked at Bubble and said, "Bubble, remember to refine the lotus well. There should be no mistakes. Place every inch of your energy in refining, don't get distracted. Understand?"
Bubble complied as he said, "Young Master, feel relieved, I shall complete it with no problems."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned around and proceeded to head towards the villa. He was receiving messages from the various powers in the alliance aside from the Lyon Empire since there was no need for it. Although Zhao Hai was just a temporary Emperor of the Lyon Empire, the Great Nobles of the Empire still wouldn't dare to disobey him. Not only because of Zhao Hai's strength, but also because of his status as the focal point of the alliance. If they dared to misbehave under Zhao Hai, then the days left for them to live wouldn't be very long.
Zhao Hai also instructed them to prepare some troops. At the same time, he also released more magic beasts in order to reestablish the Empire's elite cavalry unit, making it much stronger than before.
When Zhao Hai came back from the Lyon Empire, Bubble had approached him about his success in refining the plants in the Space. Therefore, Zhao Hai wasn't able to enter the villa up until now.
When Zhao Hai entered the villa, he was immediately greeted by Ruyen's smiling face while she was talking with Berry. Lizzy and Megan were at the side as well, looking at the monitor, probably discussing various battle formations and so on.
Upon hearing the sound of the door, the group immediately turned their heads and saw that Zhao Hai has come back. They quickly stood up and welcomed him in. Zhao Hai looked at the women and then smiled, he felt a warm feeling in his heart while looking at this scene. Then he smiled to the group and said, "What's happening? Are there new formations?"
Lizzy smiled and replied, "How could it be as easy as that? We're just introducing the Space to sister Ruyen and sister Berry. Big Brother Hai, you should give sister Ruyen some work inside the Space. With this, her body would be benefited as well. And also, we can approach her to discuss some matters later on. What do you think?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "You don't need to ask me about these things, you can just do it yourself. Ruyen, you can help Laura in the future. Lizzy and Megan aren't skilled in that area. The only one that can currently lend Laura a hand is you. Now that the continent is at war, material distribution, manpower problems, and the likes are needed to be sorted out properly. Laura has been busy doing these things alone, you should be able to at least ease her burden. LIzzy and Megan will have to command the army a few days from now, so you and Laura need to work hard." Ruyen immediately replied, "Alright, Brother Hai, rest assured, I will help sister Laura with management."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned to Berry. He didn't know much about the Succubus so he said, "Berry, do you want to stay inside the Space or do you want to go outside with me? If you stay in the Space, then you need to find something to do, otherwise you will get bored. If you go outside, then you can stay by my side."
Berry quickly replied, "I'll go and follow you out. The other sisters are very busy with their own affairs inside the Space while I have nothing else to do. I can take care of anything that you need when you're outside. I have already discussed this matter with sister Lizzy and the others."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Alright, then do as you like. How is Demon City doing right now?"
Lizzy replied, "There aren't any significant developments in Demon City. However, the Dwarves had already arranged their army. You should look and see if you can transfer them to Demon City right now."
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "Tell Patriarch Billy to wait . I'll immediately go and tell General Besmir to prepare a place for the Dwarves to stay in. This is the first cooperation between Humans and Dwarves after a long time, it needs to be processed well."
Lizzy nodded, then she said, "Alright, then I'll go talk to Patriarch Billy. Sister Berry, we'll be leaving Brother Hai's care to you. As you can see, we have a lot of things to take care of at this time. Only you can take care of Brother Hai right now."
Berry quickly replied, "Sister, rest assured, I will take good care of Brother Hai."
Zhao Hai just smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Actually, he'd much prefer having Meg take care of him. After all, Meg has been looking after him for a long time, so he was already familiar with her routine. However, Meg was also quite busy in helping Laura with her job. With her being heavily engaged, it would be impossible for her to take care of Zhao Hai.
On the other hand, it was quite obvious that Berry had zero interest in those matters. This made it possible for her to go outside of the Space with Zhao Hai.
At this time, Besmir was quite worried. The only thing he knew was that Zhao Hai had fought with the Demons and then went back to the city to take a rest. Besmir didn't know whether Zhao Hai was doing well or maybe he has been injured. If Zhao Hai was wounded, then it would be a fatal blow to their morale. However, when Zhao Hai came in along with a beautiful woman, Besmir immediately calmed down. Then he went forward to greet Zhao Hai, "Mister came. Please come in. May I know the details regarding mister's fight with the Demons?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and replied, "It went quite fairly. None of us has taken too much of an advantage over the other, it's a tie. Right, I came here to talk about something."
Besmir quickly said, "I ask Mister to tell me and I will do my best to comply."
Zhao Hai said, "General is too polite, there's no need to be so formal. I just want to ask you to prepare three camps in the next few days, the sooner they get finished, the better. Some Dwarves will be arriving later, they will help us with defending against the Demons. In a few days, Beastmen and Elven warriors will arrive as well. I want you to prepare three separate areas for each of them. Also, make sure to tell everyone to refrain from offending them. Our cooperation with the other races will be very crucial in the following days."
Besmir couldn't help but stare for a moment when he heard Zhao Hai. But it didn't take too long before he became elated with the news. He was aware that although everyone was willing to resist the Demons, it wasn't necessary for them to send troops over. At the same time the people of Demons City had already accepted this truth. The others can just be considered to be offering moral support. But now that the other powers are sending their troops, the morale of the defenders would surely surge up once more.
Although Zhao Hai didn't say it, Besmir knew that these people were all invited by Zhao Hai. Besmir didn't expect that Zhao Hai would have this much clout over the other races. This was very good for the alliance, so Besmir quickly agreed, "Mister, rest assured, I shall arrange for those areas immediately."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Also, the Elves only take fruits and green vegetables as food, they don't eat meat. Pay attention to this when giving them rations. On the other hand, the Beastmen love meat. Both the Dwarves and the Beastmen also liked to drink liquor, prepare some for them. If you don't have any of these in hand, then don't hesitate to inform me."
Besmir quickly replied, "Yes Mister. I've noted them all down. Don't worry, I'll make sure that nothing goes wrong."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he adds, "Remember to keep the area for the Elves very clean, they don't like dirty places. Also, tell the soldiers to refrain from looking at the reinforcements as though they are monsters. The Dwarves and the Beastmen are quick to lose their temper, and the Elves get offended quite easily. Small problems like these wouldn’t be good when the actual fight comes."
Besmir replied, "Alright, I'll take care of it." Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked outside and the sighed, "I already talked with His Majesty. While we delay the Demons here as much as possible, the Buddha Empire will mobilize its own army in order to provide defensive lines all over the empire. When all of the citizens have withdrawn, the entire Buddha Empire shall be converted into a huge fortress. We'll make the Demons suffer when the set foot into its lands."
Besmir's eyes couldn't help but fire up when he heard this, his hatred for the Demons couldn't help but resurface as he replied, "Alright, Mister can rest assured, everything will go according to plan. But with this, it is inevitable that the Buddha Empire will be destroyed."
Zhao Hai lightly sighed and said, "The Buddha Empire's land will surely be destroyed. However, as long as its citizens survive, then sooner or later we can reclaim the land and revive the Empire. It's useless to worry about the land. Don't forget, the most important thing to the Empire is its people and its talents."
