Zhao Hai was currently standing on top of the city wall . The protective formation was already in place and the army were properly positioned . Everyone present here were looking at the direction of the Radiant Empire .
This wasn’t a practice run, they were now in full preparation to resist the incoming army . Cai’er already told Zhao Hai that the Divine Race army had started to make their move . This time, the Divine Race placed both of their cavalries up front, supported by their infantry and Mage corps . They were preparing to rush straight into the city and break through it in one go .
It was because of this that Zhao Hai’s side had started to behave like this . It has been three days since all of the Ark Continent’s powers had sent their troops over to the city . To be honest, the Divine Race refraining from making their attack had made Zhao Hai quite worried . It was only now that they made their move did Zhao Hai felt relief .
If the Divine Race didn’t attack, then it meant that they had a bigger plot in their hands . If they attacked, then it meant that there weren’t any sneaky plans . It seems like the three days were used in pure recuperation .
In Zhao Hai’s side was a Dwarf, an Elf, a heavily armored man, a cavalry soldier, some Beastmen, as well as Lizzy, Megan, Berry, and Shue .
These people were the city’s management staff . Zhao Hai wanted them to see how fierce the Divine Race looked .
On the walls beside them were the Rosen Empire’s heavy armor infantry . Although these troops were used generally for field battles, they were still able to defend a city comfortably . After all, they were Rosen Empire’s elite . At this moment, magic cannons were strewn all around the city’s walls . Zhao Hai didn’t make the undead control these cannons, instead, he handed them over to the heavy armor infantry .

Zhao Hai stood calmly on the city wall, although the army had yet to come, the whole city was full of anticipation . There was a sense of breathlessness emanating among the troops .
The Dwarf standing next to Zhao Hai muttered as he stared at the Radiant Empire’s direction, “Why haven’t they appeared yet? I can’t wait all day . ”
Zhao Hai turned his head to look at the Dwarf . This Dwarf wasn’t an elder, he was a General of the Dwarf Race, the commander of the Iron Beast cavalry . This time, the Dwarves had sent over a hundred thousand iron armor cavalry, this wasn’t a small number .
Moreover, after arriving at the city, the Dwarves started to make their move . In the plains outside the city, they had made a lot of tunnels . These tunnels would allow ordinary troops to pass through safely without any issue . However, once the Divine Race’s Heavy Cavalry walks on top of them, they would immediately collapse, and the Dwarves would be waiting underground to ambush them . As long as they go under, the Dwarves, in their natural habitat, would gain absolute advantage .
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Baker, no need to be anxious . They will arrive soon . ”
The Dwarf Baker smiled faintly and said, “I’m quite anxious to see how formidable those Divine Race fellows really are . For me to be able to help the elder is a great blessing . You might not know, but when the clan voted me to be sent over, the other Generals almost fought with me over it . ”
Zhao Hai laughed and then replied, “Are you sure you won’t regret it? You’re going to battle right now, but I don’t want you to die . Baker, remember to have safety as your utmost priority . ”

Baker nodded and said, “Elder, rest assured, we’ve already prepared for it . The Dwarves wouldn’t die so easily . ”
At this moment, a Beastmen inserted, “We aren’t afraid of death as well . Prince, when will you send us out to attack?”
Zhao Hai gave a slight smile and said, “Don’t worry, you will have the chance to fight . Even if the main actors this time are the Dwarves and Elves, you should still prepare yourselves for battle . All of you, remember to make ranged attacks as much as possible . Especially the Elves, the enemy’s cavalry isn’t weak . ”
Standing on the wall was a male Elf, he had a handsome but messy face . He always had a cold expression but when he heard Zhao Hai he gently nodded and said, “The elder can rest assured, the Elves aren’t afraid of death as well . ”
Zhao Hai sighed and then said, “I know that you don’t fear death . However, I didn’t take you here to die . You could be said to be the continent’s first batch of troops to fight against the Divine Race . As long as you survive, then you would understand the attack patterns of the Divine Race . Their tactics cannot be understood in just one or two days . You must keep on living and teach the others about how to resist against the Divine Race . I hope that we can repel the Demons and the Divine Race with as little losses to the continent as possible . ”
The group nodded, then Zhao Hai continued, “This war isn’t going to good for our side . Both the Demon and the Divine Realm is much larger than the Ark Continent . And their residents are leagues stronger than us . Because of this, we cannot have the mentality of sacrificing ourselves in battles . It’s not that I’m afraid of death, I just don’t want unnecessary deaths . Do you understand?”
The group nodded once more . Although these people wouldn’t generally listen to other race’s words, it was a different matter when it came to Zhao Hai . Zhao Hai’s influence had been spread out to all of them . At the same time, their groups were also grateful to Zhao Hai . This was the reason why there were no problems when it came to him making the decisions .
At this time, sound of rumbling was suddenly heard in the distance while the earth shook at the same time . As long as one had experience, then they would surely know that this was due to the movement of Heavy Cavalry . The charge of a heavy cavalry unit was the most imposing thing that one can see in the battlefield . Their movements alone could make the earth shiver, if any other troop dared to clash with them at this state, then they would certainly get crushed .
Every person on the walls were attracted towards this rumbling noise . Before long, a silver film had started to fill the grounds in the distance . This silver film approached quite quickly, and their imposing aura could be felt as they kick up dust while they approach .
Zhao Hai turned his head to Baker and said, “Baker, you go . Remember, the number you kill doesn’t matter . Just make sure to protect your lives . It still isn’t time to go all out against the Divine Race . ” Baker gave a nod before he turned back an entered the tunnels .
Then Zhao Hai turned to the Elf and said, “The Divine Race’s light cavalry should be arriving soon, you should prepare yourself as well . Remember, just like what I said to the Dwarves, the kills doesn’t matter . Just make sure to protect your lives . The Blood Hawks are fast, take good advantage of this . ” The Elf gave a salute before he turned around and left the wall .
Then Zhao Hai turned his head towards the group of Beastmen and said, “You go prepare as well . Head outside the city using the back door . Coordinate with the Dwarves . Although the cavalry speed of the Divine Race isn’t slow, they still couldn’t catch up to your troops . Don’t think of going all out, just fight with the intention of finding out about their strength . ”
The Beastmen nodded then they gave a short bow before leaving . Zhao Hai turned his head to Lizzy and Megan, “The undead command will be handed over to you . Cai’er, come out and help . Berry, Shue, let’s go . ” Then Zhao Hai summoned his bone dragon as he flew out of the city . At this time, Cai’er appeared in Lizzy’s shoulder . Cai’er waved her hand as a screen appeared in front of Lizzy and Megan . This will help them facilitate the battle more conveniently .
Lizzy and Megan looked at the projection and saw a group of green lights approaching . They were already aware that the green lights were the enemies while the red lights were their allies . Since they had yet to release the undead, the red lights this time were only composed of Zhao Hai’s group as well as the Dwarves in the field .
Zhao Hai was also starting to see the other party’s light cavalry . The horned pegasus were flapping their wings as they flew forwards . All of them flew with grace, but were not so fast . However, Zhao Hai didn’t dare look down on them . These horned pegasus naturally weren’t using their maximum speed . When the battle starts, their actions certainly wouldn’t be like this .
However, Zhao Hai’s main attention wasn’t in these flying cavalry . Instead, he was focused on the Mage corps behind the light cavalry . Although Megan speculated them to be Summoners, nobody knew for sure whether this was correct . This compelled Zhao Hai to pay more attention to their group compared to the others .
When the horned pegasus were several kilometers away from Zhao Hai, a clump of red cloud suddenly appeared behind the city . Naturally, this red cloud was the Elven Race’s Blood Hawk cavalry .
After the Blood Hawk cavalry flew out of the city, they immediately dashed towards the Divine Race’s light cavalry . This made the horned pegasus cavalry stare . The Divine Race were aware of the races in the Ark Continent, therefore, they certainly had some understanding regarding the Elves . However, they didn’t know that the Elves had managed to have their own aerial troops .
To be honest, nobody could blame the Divine Race for this . After the Radiant Church suppressed the Elves, their understanding of the race had become too few . Although they had sent some spies towards the Elven Forest, their main purpose was to control the race and not to report back on their findings . Since this was the case, the spies didn’t go out of their way to exit the forest . This also made it possible for the Elves to hide their aerial troops .
However, even if they were discovered, the Elven Race’s original aerial troops were composed of soundless soundbirds . But the voiceless soundbirds had no fighting prowess, they were completely herbivorous . Because of their docile nature, it would be impossible for the Elves to teach them how to fight .
But now, the Elves had the Blood Hawks . These were phantasmal beasts that were made by Zhao Hai’s Space . Their fighting strength were very strong . Even if the Divine Race were aware of the Elves’ aerial cavalry, they still wouldn’t be aware of the Blood Hawks .
However, the main reason why Zhao Hai was confident in sending the Elves to deal with the Divine Race’s light cavalry was because he had given the Elves a secret weapon . As long as the Elves us this, then they would become much stronger than the Divine Race’s light cavalry . They light cavalry unit would surely suffer heavy losses in the Elves’ hands .
