Zhao Hai calmly looked at the monitor . He didn’t think that the Divine Race would retreat, it was actually out of his expectations . Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare when he saw the Divine Rest pack their things and heading the opposite direction after their two hour rest . Seeing them retreat, Zhao Hai decided to not send the undead after them . It was best to give more time to Lizzy and Megan . As long as the two women had time, they can completely eliminate the winged pegasus cavalry . When that time comes, Zhao Hai’s strength would dramatically increase . Also, after seeing the Divine Race retreat, Zhao Hai can now focus solely on the Demons .
Zhao Hai needed time, he wanted the Demons to retreat as well . If the Demons retreat, then Zhao Hai would gain even more time . The first batch of God ranked undead have already finished and the pagoda had started with the second batch . At the same time, another God-rank potion was on the way . As long as there was time, Zhao Hai’s side would become much better .
But to Zhao Hai’s disappointment, the Demons didn’t retreat . Unlike the Divine Race who retreated after resting for two hours, the Demons rested for 5 hours before leaving Rising Sun City, pushing forward into the Buddha Empire .
After seeing this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but knit his brows . His expectation for the Demon Army’s retreat was even more than the Divine Race seeing how cautious they had been lately . But who would’ve thought that the opposite happened, the Divine Race retreated while the Demons pushed on .
While looking at the Demon Army, Zhao Hai coldly snorted . He was still monitoring the Divine Race, however, he didn’t send more attacks . He wanted the Divine Race to retreat, and he didn’t want to enrage them even more . He was afraid that the Divine Race would get angry and reverse their decision . After all, when enough time passes, Zhao Hai would be able to clean them up in one fell swoop .
On the other hand, the Demons actually went forward . In two days, they would meet with Lizzy and Megan’s group, and that wouldn’t be good .

Now that the Divine Race was gone, Zhao Hai can reallocated his undead to deal with the Demons . These undead made the Demon advance even more difficult . They needed to delay the Demons and make time for Lizzy and Megan to eliminate the winged pegasus cavalry .
After the Demons left Rising Sun City, Zhao Hai noticed that they had left some people behind . Zhao Hai immediately knew that the Demon advance this time was meant to occupy the Buddha Empire’s cities .
Altogether, the Demons have left 1 million troops inside Rising Sun City, a thousand of them being God-rank experts . At the same time, a constant stream of Demons can be seen going from Demon City to Rising Sun City .
Upon seeing this, Zhao Hai’s expression couldn’t help but change . With his current resources, he wouldn’t be able to reclaim Rising Sun City . If he decided to attack the city, the Demons from Demon City will go forward as support . When that time comes, a clash would happen, this wasn’t something that Zhao Hai wanted .
However, Zhao Hai wasn’t too worried . After all, he didn’t have much power in his hands . As soon as Lizzy and Megan finishes their action, the majority of the undead would be available once more .
The Demon Dragon King had discovered that their current assailants didn’t comprise of only cavalry units, there were undead mixed in as well . These undead were very difficult to deal with . The bows and throwing weapons that the Demons had were less lethal to the undead . On the other hand, the javelins thrown by the undead were a huge threat to the Demon Army .

To be honest, the Demon Dragon King was quite curious about Zhao Hai’s javelins . In their previous battles, Zhao Hai didn’t use it . Now that Zhao Hai had changed his tactics, these javelin were used . The Demon Dragon King wondered why .
This wooden javelin wasn’t simple . One could see that they were crudely made, however, their lethality couldn’t be underestimated .
The Demon Dragon King couldn’t help but rub his temples . Although he planned to grab some land while Zhao Hai battles it out with the Divine Race, his current losses was something he didn’t hope for .
And after they left the city, they were attacked by javelins once more . All of these gave the Demon Dragon King a headache .
While Zhao Hai was busy dealing with the Demons, he wasn’t aware of the changes in another place . In the Northern Icefield, there was a huge spatial rift that was constantly releasing undead . When they came out of the rift, the undead went about and explored the icefield . They only remained undetected because the icefield was just too big .
However, the undead quickly found the volcano as well as the stone city . Soon, more and more undead went towards that direction as even more undead came out of the rift .
At this point, a large sea of undead was starting to head towards the Beastman Prairie . These undead were tirelessly going forward . The ice and winds were completely useless against them . In a few day’s time, they would be setting foot on the prairie .
Naturally, Zhao Hai and the others didn’t know about this . At the same time, they were also unaware about another small rift appearing in an island not too far from the Radiant Empire . This rift was smaller and there were no creatures going out of it . However, this rift would surely have an impact on the Ark Continent in the future .
Zhao Hai didn’t know about any of these, his thoughts were currently on the enemies in front of him, the Demons and the Divine Race . Now that the Divine Race was heading back to the Radiant Empire, Zhao Hai only had the Demons to worry about .
Lizzy and Megan had prepared for three days in order to deal with the winged pegasus army . However, Zhao Hai didn’t worry too much . He knew that they would take action quite soon . At the same time, the God rank potion would be completed in one day .
Meanwhile, Zhao Hai was very surprised at the Demon Army . He didn’t stop harassing the Demons both day and night . Moreover, with the use of the mosquitoes, the losses to the Demon Army had reached an additional 1 million . But even with this, the Demons didn’t retreat . Conversely, even with their slow pace, they continued on . This action made Zhao Hai admire the Demon Race . Zhao Hai sent forces to attack them all the time, however, they kept going forward even if they knew that every step they make would cause them to bleed out .
Zhao Hai didn’t understand why the Demons continued on . After the days of being attacked, the Demons were looking very exhausted . They didn’t have a good time to rest and eat . However, they still kept on moving forward .
Zhao Hai didn’t know that the reason for this was simple . The Demons didn’t retreat because Zhao Hai has yet to use his main army . This made the Demons think that he was still in battle with the Divine Race . If they don’t use this opportunity to occupy land, then they won’t be able to do it in the future .
Although the Demons had sent some scouts, those people didn’t dare to get too close to the Divine Race . Moreover, after Thunder Yun saw that Zhao Hai didn’t harass them, he decided to slow their retreat, allowing more time to rest . At the same time, he also used this time to get familiar with the surroundings .
The Demons had more information coming from their scouts near the Radiant Empire . Seeing that the main army was still absent, they were unaware of the retreat . If they knew that the Divine Race had turned back, the Demon Dragon King would surely stop the army from going forward .
A day passed and another God-rank potion has been made . However, Zhao Hai didn’t use it . He was waiting for one more potion to be made before handing them over to Blockhead and Rockhead .
Blockhead and Rockhead were twins that had a mysterious way of coordinating with one another . If Zhao Hai decided to promote one before the other, then he may risk disrupting this coordination . Because of this, Zhao Hai chose to promote them at the same time .
It can be said that some of Zhao Hai’s fears were unwarranted, but he wasn’t in a hurry about this matter . After all, Blockhead and Rockhead would be Demigods after promotion, so they wouldn’t be a great help anyway . Waiting for a few days wouldn’t affect anything too much .
Time passed by and another day came . This was the fifth day after the Demons decided to dispatch their troops . They were still advancing but their losses had now surpassed 3 million, a tenth of their original number . Additionally, after passing by another two cities, more than 2 million troops were left behind . It can be said that the Demon Army was now cut down by a fifth .
Zhao Hai had to recognize the tenacity of the Demon Race . However, he knew that the Demon army’s luck was soon to run out . This was because Lizzy and Megan had already taken care of the winged pegasus cavalry . With this, Zhao Hai was back to using his full strength .
