Chapter 799 – Cai'er Is Jealous?
The Great Demon King took the scroll on the table and carefully read it. By the time he placed the scroll back on the table, he was already frowning, he looked at the Demon Dragon King and said, "Has this been confirmed?"
The Demon Dragon King nodded, "It's confirmed. When this information was sent, it was done in code. So even if it was intercepted, it would be impossible for outsiders to understand it. There's no way for it to be tampered."
The Great Demon King knit his brows and said, "Do you have any other information?"
The Demon Dragon King shook his head and said, "After this one, no additional information was sent. I couldn't make up my mind about this information. First, because it was too outrageous. Second, because it might be a misinformation sent by the enemy. They might already know the identity of our people, so they sent misleading information to be sent to us. And lastly, it might be true. It wouldn't be good for us if this was true. And two days ago, I got information from our scouts that the garrison troops of the Ark Continent have all vanished. I'm still confused about what is happening."
The Great Demon King knit his brows, then he nodded and said, "Right, we shouldn't advance recklessly. It's possible that its another trap. The enemy is very sly, we need to be careful."
The Demon Dragon King replied, "I think the Divine Race wouldn't just step back with their previous failure. They will certainly make a stronger attack. At the same time, it would be impossible for Zhao Hai to let the Divine Race off. When the Divine Race descended they used an entire Empire's worth of people to do their blood sacrifice. I heard that when Zhao Hai knew about this, he coughed up some blood while swearing to kill all invading Divines. His hatred for the Divine Race should be greater compared to us."
The Great Demon King frowned and said, "Is that the case? The people don't treat the Demons as the evil ones? They think that the Divine Race are more vile?"
The Demon Dragon King smiled bitterly and said, "Others might not know this, but Zhao Hai doesn't think like ordinary people. It's possible that he didn’t have any hatred for the Demons. On the other hand, his hatred for the Divine Race is true. I can see Divine Race soldiers among Zhao Hai's undead. It's clear that he turned them into undead immediately after killing them."
The Great Demon King smiled and said, "I believe Zhao Hai's hatred for us wouldn't be less. After all, we are invading the Ark Continent. Anyone who invades the continent should be enemies to Zhao Hai. Going back to the information you've received, I think there are some inaccuracies about it. Ever since the Demons and Divine Race had arrived in the continent, it can be said that Zhao Hai always had the upper hand. In this case, there is no reason for him to suddenly move the people of the Ark Continent. From what I think, there should be another situation happening in the continent, something we have yet to know. Did you send people to check it?"
The Demon Dragon King's expression turned ugly before he gave a nod, "I did, but after sending all of them, nobody came back. I reckon they have been killed of by Zhao Hai. This caused me to doubt making an attack while also being more and more suspicious about the authenticity of the report. I think it's Zhao Hai's trap."
The Great Demon King nodded, "Right, we don't want to make a blunder against Zhao Hai. Good, you arrange for the reinforcing army to take a rest, let them be used to the Ark Continent's environment. I think the Divine Race's reinforcements wouldn't take too long before they arrive. As soon as the Divine Race makes their move, we'll dispatch our troops as well. I really want to meet this Zhao Hai."
The Demon Dragon King nodded before he bowed and asked to be excused. After seeing the Demon Dragon King walk out, the Great Demon King took his wine cup and drank some liquor. Then he muttered, "Just wait, sooner or later, the Demons will be out of your control." Then the Great Demon King turned his gaze towards the Demon God's portrait. The Demon God had three heads, six arms, and an ugly facial expression. Besides weapons, the Demon God also held several heads in his hands. This caused the portrait to emanate a vile aura. If one were weak of mind, they might even see blood dripping from the picture."
Why would the Great Demon King say this to the portrait? What was wrong? Does he want to change their faith?
Naturally, ZhaoHai didn't know these. The Devil's War chariot was a Domain Weapon. It's quite powerful that the Space's monitor wasn't able to see inside it.
However, Zhao Hai didn't care about it, he only cared about looking at the reinforcing Demon Army. Besides the ten million or so Death Qi warriors, there were also ordinary Demon soldiers.
From Zhao Hai's count, there were about 50 million people that came out of the spatial rift. Zhao Hai couldn't help but mutter,"They actually went full force. I didn't think they would send this much people."
After the reinforcement army came, the Demonic Abyss up to Demon City had become huge military compound. On the other hand, the Great Demon King's chariot stayed on the skies above the Demonic Abyss.
At this time, Laura and the others were merrily taking a walk. They didn't have anything to do in these past few days, so they strolled around the Ark Space looking for something to do. Although everything in the Ark Space was the same as the Ark Continent, there were still things needed to be taken care of. Because of this, Zhao Hai sent them over to help.
Although the Buda Clan was also inside the Space, they were in a separate island a distance away from the Ark Continent. And even if it was quite close, one couldn't easily reach the island. This was exactly what Zhao Hai wanted. In doing so, the Buda Clan wasn't too far nor too close to the continent. This was to maintain a sense of mystery to the clan.
Naturally, Laura and the others wouldn't have him help the people of the continent. That would be the job for the Buda Clan's people. Because of this, Zhao Hai hadn't appeared in the Ark Space since.
This was actually Laura's idea. It wouldn't be easy to deify Zhao Hai in the minds of the Ark Continent's people. After all, nobody would see someone they can casually talk to as a god,
When Laura and the others walked into the living room and saw the Devil's War Chariot on the monitor, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
After seeing their reaction, Zhao Hai laughed before he enlarged the devil's face. This frightened the women even more.
With Zhao Hai's laughter, the women understood that Zhao Hai was intentionally scaring them. They immediately went to Zhao Hai and pinched his sides. Naturally, they knew that this wouldn't do anything to Zhao Hai.
But Zhao Hai still yelled in pain. He didn't brace himself, moreover, he can still feel pain.
After pinching Zhao Hai many more times, Laura and the other gave a snort before stopping and sitting with Zhao Hai. Laura even told Cai'er, "Cai'er, play that scene back!"
Upon hearing Laura, Zhao Hai almost spit out blood. He couldn't handle the pressure in the room so he stood up and pulled Berry over while saying, "Berry, let's go, join me for a bath. In any case, nothing great would happen in the Demon Army soon." Then he took Berry downstairs to the hot spring.
Berry's face was red but she still continued to follow Zhao Hai. Megan turned to Berry and yelled, "Sister Berry, if you can't take it anymore don't hesitate to ask for help!"
After Megan said that, Laura and the others laughed. This made Berry's face even redder. Berry's joking skill was weak, so she couldn't think of anything wise to retort. She just turned to Megan and said, "Hmph, I don't need help. If you come, then I'll turn you away!" This made the women laugh even more.
That night, Zhao Hai was very tired. The reason for this was because he was unable to stop the women from invading his room.
The next morning, while Zhao Hai was still asleep, Cai'er entered his room. Zhao Hai was lying naked in his bed, Laura and the others were also right by Zhao Hai's side. All of them were sleeping quite smoothly.
When Cai'er saw this, her face couldn't help but turn red. Then she snorted before making a water ball and splashing Zhao Hai's face with it. Her control was very good, not a single drop of water splashed on the women's bodies.
Zhao Hai immediately woke up, he sat up and looked at Cai'er, "Cai'er, what did you just do?"
Cai'er snorted and said, "Young Master, get up. The Divine Race's reinforcements have arrived." When Zhao Hai heard Cai'er, he couldn't help but stare for a moment before he carefully got up from his bed. He took extra care to not disturb the women.
Cai'er looked at Zhao Hai's movements before he snorted and flashed out of the room. Zhao Hai turned to Cai'er's direction before he muttered, "What happened to Cai'er? Strange."
However, he still went to the bathroom and cleaned himself up. Then he wore some clothes before proceeding towards the living room. After Zhao Hai left, Laura smiled along with the other women. Laura opened her eyes, looked at the others and said, "Brother Hai is really too daft when it came to reading sentiment. He couldn't even recognize Cai'er's jealous look."
Lizzy opened her eyes and replied, "Yeah, but Big Brother Hai is like that. He would never know about those things. I wonder what Brother Hai's face would be once he discovers that Cai'er likes him."
After imagining Zhao Hai's shocked expression, the women couldn't help but look at each other. When they noticed that all of them were naked, their faces immediately turned red. Meanwhile, Megan hugged Lizzy from behind as she traced Lizzy's chest and said, "Lizzy, these are really big. No wonder Brother Hai likes to touch them so much."
Lizzy had no intention of just receiving Megan's attack, naturally she would counter attack. Before long, the women were noisily laughing inside the room.
Chapter 800 – Transfer
Zhao Hai sat in the living room and looked at the Divine Race Army in the monitor. The Divine Race reinforcements this time were divided into three teams, the heavy Barbarian cavalry, the light winged pegasus cavalry, and the Divine Race infantry.
The Winged Pegasus light cavalry were in front, being the first to enter the Radiant Empire. The Divine Race infantry went next and after that were the Barbarian heavy cavalry. Their motion was fast, it didn't take too long for all of them to arrive at the Radiant Empire. However, the one who attracted Zhao Hai's attention the most was the carriage right in the middle of the Divine Race infantry.
Similar to how the Great Demon King arrived, this carriage was pulled by one high level magic beast. But instead of an elephant shaped beast, the magic beast used to pull this carriage was a type of lion. The lion was snow white, with two steady wings on each of its side. With how white the magic beast was, one could feel an extraordinarily holy aura coming out of it.
The carriage itself was as interesting as the lion type magic beast. The carriage looked like a large great sword. But instead of metal, the great sword was made out of white wood, probably saint light wood. However, one could see that it was leagues better than the conventional saint light wood.
On the sides of this carriage was a team of knights. The knights resemble the Radiant Church's Knight Corps. They all wore white armor with white cloaks behind it, had spears on their hands and shields on the other, and on their waists were swords.
These knights amounted to about ten thousand. Moreover, Zhao Hai discovered that these Knights were all God-ranks.
After seeing this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile bitterly. The Taurus Divines had sent a strong army this time, just like the Demons. But what made Zhao Hai interested in the matter wasn't the army. Zhao Hai was looking at the carriage, he reckoned that it was a Domain Weapon as well.
Zhao Hai had discovered a different feature on the Space's monitor. Usually, the monitor would display red on Zhao Hai's allies while green on his enemies. If the enemy party used a magic formation to block the surveillance, then the area would be depicted by a white spot. However, Zhao Hai saw something that he hadn't seen before. When the Great Demon King arrived, his carriage was displayed as a light blue dot. This light blue dot was shown on the Divine Race's carriage as well.
Because of this, Zhao Hai boldly assumed that the Space would detect Domain Weapons as light blue spots. If this is correct, then that Divine Race carriage should be a Domain Weapon as well.[1]
However, Zhao Hai was also curious about who was riding the carriage. He wanted to know if the person was like the Demon Realm Ruler, the Great Demon King. Was it the Taurus Continent Monarch?
While Zhao Hai was thinking about this, Thunder Yun and his people came forward to express their greetings. Thunder Yun, along with the other Generals went to the carriage and simultaneously said, "Welcome, Sir Marshal"
Just as Thunder Yun's voice fell, a door opened on the tail end of the great sword shaped carriage. The door was fitted well with the entire sword, Zhao Hai wasn't able to notice it at first.
The hollow area inside the carriage were inlaid with transparent crystals, one can see that they were used for lighting purposes. The entire sword carriage was about 20 meters long, perfectly suited to be used by a human shaped Domain.
At this time, a few people came out of the sword carriage door. When he saw these people, Zhao Hai couldn't help but get stunned. This was because it wasn't the king of the Taurus continent, but several maids instead. The maids were very beautiful, even under a thin veil over their faces. All of them were 9th rank and looked like fairies as they came out.
Zhao Hai originally didn't take it seriously when he saw that the person was escorted by the maids. So when he saw Thunder Yun's ugly expression, Zhao Hai was confused.
However, Zhao Hai was quick to understand Thunder Yun's expresion. This was because after eight maids came out of the sword carriage, a young man walked out.
The young man wore a white robe, his face was pale but beautiful. He had a smile on his face but it wasn't a smile of happiness, instead, it was a smile of someone looking down on people, showing his arrogance. He also held two women on his sides.
When he saw that a young man was sent as reinforcement, Zhao Hai was shocked. He believed that it would be impossible for this young man to be the King of the Taurus Continent. His temperament alone wasn't something found on strong Divine Race characters. It was impossible for the Divine Race to follow this young man.
Moreover, Thunder Yun greeted the Marshal. However, his age was just too low for a position as head of a military. It might even be possible that he hadn't been on a battlefield before.
No wonder Thunder Yun's expression was ugly to behold. The young man wasn't the man he thought would come.
Thunder Yun looked at the young man and respectfully said, "Your Highness the Third Prince, why have you come to the Ark Continent and taken the carriage of the Marshall?"
The Third Prince chuckled and said, "It's nothing, I told my uncle that I want to see this world. He had me go instead and take his carriage."
Thunder Yun's expression turned uglier, he looked at the Third Prince and said, "Your Highness, have his Majesty the King read the letter? The situation here is dire, things can get dangerous in an instant. If you have nothing to do here, then I ask Your Highness Third Prince to please return."
When he heard Thunder Yun, the Third Prince's complexion sank. He snorted before he gave a retort, "Thunder Yun, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to order me? You think I can't have my father revoke your status as Chief Commander?"
Thunder Yun fearlessly stared right back at the Third Prince and said, "If your highness can do that, then I would gladly step down."
The Third Prince's complexion turned colder when he heard Thunder Yun. Then he snorted and took out a Command Token and a scroll. Then he looked at Thunder Yun and said, "No wonder Father said that you get more useless as you got older. Even a small plane such as the Ark Continent needed a large number of troops. Thunder Yun, listen to my command. You shall now be transferred away from your position as Chief of Command. However, you will stay in the frontlines as I take command of the troops."
The Third Prince's command caused an uproar to the military officers behind Thunder Yun. They didn't expect this to happen. The Third Prince would replace Thunder Yun as commander? One must know that the Third Prince had never gone to the battlefield before. Although he had studied the ways of battle, how could he compare to a seasoned General like Thunder Yun? Have the King and Marshal really sent this order?
Thunder Yun's stunned face looked at the Third Prince. Then his startled expression turned into anger as he said, "That is impossible. I need to see His Highness' decree!" The Third Prince didn't say anything as he just coldly snorted and threw the scroll over to Thunder Yun. Thunder Yun took the scroll and impatiently opened it. Upon seeing its contents, he couldn't help but be shocked, he muttered, "Impossible. This is impossible. This can't happen."
While Thunder Yun was muttering to himself, a hand suddenly came and snatched the scroll away from his hands. Naturally, this hand belonged to the Third Prince. The Third Prince looked at Thunder Yun and said, "Now that you've finished reading, do you have anything else to say? Everyone listen! From now on, I will officially be the Chief Commander of this army. If violations occur, then they would be judged by martial law!"
After having said that, the Third Prince turned around and returned to his sword carriage. Then the carriage moved slowly forward without caring about Thunder Yun and the other Generals. All of them were staring blankly, they didn't know what happened, everything went by too quick. What happened was way out of their expectations that they weren't even able to respond.
It wasn't only Thunder Yun and the others, Zhao Hai was also dumbfounded about what just happened. He couldn't comprehend what just occurred. A transfer of command? Does the Divine Race really want to do this?"
However, Zhao Hai changed his mind. This development was a godsend to him. The Divine Race just traded a veteran General with an inexperienced young man. In other words, Thunder Yun's removal alone has caused great damage to the Divine Race army.
Dealing with an inexperienced fellow was much easier compared to an old fox like Thunder Yun. For Zhao Hai, this was an extremely good thing.
After thinking about this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, good, good job Divine Race. You actually helped me a lot. I couldn't thank you enough."
While he was laughing, Laura and the others came into the room. It seems like they had just come back from taking a bath judging by their wet hair. When they saw Zhao Hai laughing, Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai? What are you so happy?"
Zhao Hai looked at Laura and the others in the eyes before he smiled, "Something good arrived. The Divine Race just removed Thunder Yun from being the commander of their army. What they replaced him with was an inexperienced Third Prince of the Taurus Continent. This fellow even looks like he hadn't been on a battlefield before."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Laura and the others couldn't help but stare. Then they looked at each other before staring blankly at the monitor. After some time, Lizzy said, "The Divine Race are courting death. Big Brother Hai, it seems like we need to change our tactics to capitalize on this move."
Ignoring the fact that it is shaped like a weapon.. Geez Zhao HaiChapter 801 – Fei'er's Strange Action
Thunder Yun's face was ugly as he sat in the hall. Having the same expression as him were the other generals of the army. The arrival of the Third Prince and the decree brought by him had made these people feel like the skies were falling apart.
They knew about the Third Prince. The Taurus Continents King had six children. The First Prince didn't have any interest in martial cultivation. Because of this, he was just stuck at being an ordinary Demigod. This was rare in the Divine Race, especially among the royals.
But Thunder Yun and the others understood why this was the case. The First Prince was a bastard son, thus he had no inheritance nor background to speak of. However, since he was the first son of the Taurus King, many people still hoped that he would inherit the throne.
However, the Taurus Continent's Queen was from a very influential clan, and the Second Prince being her son with the Taurus King. Having such a powerful mother meant that the Second Prince's status was high as well, and succeeding the throne would be a natural path. If the First Prince were to exhibit extraordinary talents, then he would become an eyesore to the mother-son pair. It might even be possible for the First Prince to be killed off. Because of this, the First Prince had no other choice but to stay as a Demigod Expert, relinquishing any rights to the throne.
On the other hand, the talents of the Second Prince would make one speechless. The Second Prince was now a Full God-rank expert. Moreover, he had experience in commanding an army. With the learning he gained from his mother and father, the Second Prince was able to handle the matters of the court. This made him the perfect candidate to become the Next King. Many Great Clans on the Taurus Continent supported the Second Prince's ascension to the throne.
But as the matter stands, a situation came up. The Taurus King was still at the prime of his life, and he was unwilling to hand the crown over, he wouldn't die anytime soon. Now that the Second Prince was showing his superiority, the King felt that his position was being threatened. Because of this, the Taurus King had found a way to keep the balance against the Second Prince, and that was to favor and trust the Third Prince.
The Third Prince was also a direct descendant between the Taurus King and Queen, him being the younger brother of the Second Prince. However, the Third Prince was different from the Second Prince. The Second Prince was diligent in his effort since childhood. He had gained military experience while being strong himself, making him favored by the people.
But the Third Prince was different. Ever since he was little, the Third Prince has been smothered by the King with affection. Although he was intelligent and diligent in his studies, the Third Prince was very arrogant. Moreover, he didn't like to listen to any criticism. Also, he didn't go out and gain experience. So in matters of military, he was completely out of the loop.
But there was one thing that the Third Prince was the best at among his brothers. He was very good in making his parents happy.
The Third Prince was very adept in satisfying the King and Queen, he grew up perfecting this skill. In front of the King and Queen, he would be that clever and obedient son. However, when the two weren't looking, he would act arrogant and conceited. His eyes were as high as the skies. Moreover, he was addicted to women. He would frequent himself with the other playboys of the Divine Race. Naturally, there wasn't anything good to learn from this, so he only had the strength of a normal God-rank.
People with discerning eyes can see that the Third Prince completely falls short compared to the Second Prince. However, the Taurus King was very fond of the Third Prince, giving him favor and his trust. The King wouldn't even accept any criticism thrown towards the Third Prince, the Queen was the same.
The other three children of the Taurus King were still young, so they were yet to enter the game and compete for the throne. Because of this, the battle had become the Second Prince against the Third. The Second Prince was an excellent leader and everybody was fond of him. His only downside was the jealous King. On the other hand, the Third Prince was popular with the King and the Queen as well as Nobles who wanted to advance their status. Because of this, the momentum of the battle was quite strong.
What made the Taurus Continent's Great Nobles surprised was that the Taurus Continent's Marshal, the King's Younger Brother, was actually quite fond of the Third Prince as well. Meanwhile he was being cold towards the Second Prince. Because of his support, the likelyhood of the Third Prince ascending to the throne has increased by a lot.
But for people on the frontlines like Thunder Yun and the Generals, they knew that the Third Prince was unsuitable. He was clearly inferior compared to the Second Prince.
However, although Thunder Yun liked the Second Prince, he couldn't actively support him since the Marshal of the army, Thunder Yun's superior officer, supported the Third Prince.
What Thunder Yun and the others don't know was the fact that it was the Marshal's idea to send the Third Prince to the Ark Continent. He wanted the Third Prince to gain military exploits, so that he could prepare for his ascension to the Throne in the future.
Actually, aside from the decree, the Marshal also sent Thunder Yun a private letter via the Third Prince. The Marshal wanted Thunder Yun to make the Third Prince take command of the army as merely a title, the Third Prince wouldn't encroach upon Thunder Yun's commands. The Third Prince would just get the credit while Thunder Yun does the actual job.
The Marshal also told the Third Prince about the contents of this letter. After the Third Prince arrives at the camp, he would then listen to the arrangements made by Thunder Yun.
This might work on a normal person but it was useless when it came to the Third Prince. The Third Prince didn't like the Marshal's arrangements but he still pretended to be obedient to the Marshal's command while completely disregarding it in his mind.
With Thunder Yun's temperament as well as his reaction when he saw the Third Prince, it was even more reason for the Third Prince to withhold the Marshal's letter from Thunder Yun. Instead, he just used the imperial decree to directly remove Thunder Yun's authority altogether. The Third Prince had learned the art of war from a young age, so why couldn't he conquer the Ark Continent? What? Even Thunder Yun didn't succeed? It's because he had grown dull from age, he had become less useful the older he got.
The twists and turns of fate were difficult to predict, however, the imperial decree was certainly set in stone. This was also where Thunder Yun was having trouble with.
Cloud Ying looked at the silent Thunder Yun, in the end, he couldn't endure it and said, "General, why would the Marshal send an order like that? It's too strange, don't you think?"
Thunder Yun knit his brows and said, "I also think that it's strange. Normally, when the Marshal sends a decree, he would also hand me a private letter. However, there was no letter this time. It's absolutely strange."
Everyone in the hall frowned. All of them were aware of how different this time was. Cloud Ying looked at Thunder Yun, his eyes shone as he said, "General, is it possible that something happened back at the capital?"
When Thunder Yun heard Cloud Ying, he couldn't help but gawk, then his complexion changed as he said, "What do you mean?"
Cloud Ying replied, "Sir Marshal might have encountered an accident. All these years, our Taurus Continent has been striving to expand in all directions. And the majority of all these accomplishments belong on Sir Marshal himself. With his popularity, there are people who know of him while being unaware of the King. So I have some worries."
Thunder Yun's complexion sank, he immediately shouted, "Fei'er, come here!"
Fei'er, who guarded the entrance, immediately walked over. Thunder Yun looked at Fei'er and said, "I will write a letter. You need to find a way for this letter to reach the hands of the Marshal. Remember, you need to be quick."
Then Thunder Yun began to brandish his brush as stroke upon stroke brought words into his letter. Then he placed the letter into a small bamboo tube before handing it over to Fei'er. After that, Fei'er bowed to Thunder Yun before he turned around to leave.
Thunder Yun turned to Cloud Ying and the others and said, "No matter what happens, go and return to your divisions. Get ready for anything. Remember, if the Third Prince wanted to make you into cannon fodder, make sure to cleverly dodge the responsibility."
Cloud Ying and the others weren't fools, so they immediately understood what Thunder Yun meant. They were all members of the Marshal's camp. If something did happen in the capital, then the enemy certainly won't let the Marshal's subordinates go. They would cut the wings of the Marshal before going on to their next plan.
However, it wasn't easy to just deal with them. Each of the Generals had their own army, and these people were with each other for many years. It can be said that the Generals' control over their own army was unparalleled. If someone took their positions away, a mutiny might happen within the army. Because of this, the best way to remove these people was to use a borrowed knife to kill. They would have these people act as cannon fodder against Zhao Hai, using Zhao Hai's hand to kill the Generals and their army. When that happens, the threat would vanish without spilling blood on their hands.
Cloud Ying and the others nodded before they stood up and bowed to Thunder Yun. Thunder Yun went out of his hall and gazed at the floating sword carriage, a flash going through his eyes.
The Third Prince didn't think that his move would elicit such serious reaction from Thunder Yun. Moreover, he didn't expect that this matter would just be a fuse, causing events to happen in the background that was beyond his expectations.
At this time, the Third Prince was throwing a tantrum inside the sword carriage. He thought that he was insulted. His maids just stood there with their heads down, doing their best to not make a move. They knew the Third Prince's temper, if they dared to move, then they would certainly be severely punished.
After throwing a fit inside the carriage, the Third Prince finally stopped breaking things. Then he turned his head to one of his maids before grabbing one of them and tearing her clothes open…….
After Fei'er received Thunder Yun's letter, he immediately left the Divine Race's camp and flew towards the Divine Realm's direction. But after completely leaving the camp, Fei'er slowed down. Then he took the letter out of the bamboo tube and read it without hesitation.
After reading the letter, a twinkle appeared on Fei'er's eyes. Then his figure moved as he changed his direction. Instead of heading towards the Divine Realm, he actually chose to head towards the other side of the Radiant Empire!
Chapter 802 – Prosperous Ark Space
Zhao Hai has been paying attention to the Divine Race's camp ever since the Third Prince arrived. Although he couldn't find out what Thunder Yun and the others talked about, he managed to see Fei'er's action. However, he couldn't understand what Fei'er was doing.
Zhao Hai was certain that Fei'er was sent to deliver a letter. But Fei'er actually read the letter before going off to a different direction.
Zhao Hai saw Fei'er go to the Winged Pegasus camp first, then to the Barbarians. Only after visiting the two camps did he head towards the Divine Realm. This made Zhao Hai feel that something was fishy.
Laura and the others also saw Fei'er's action. When Fei'er finally went to the Divine Realm, Laura looked at Zhao Hai ni confusion as she asked, "Brother Hai, why do I feel that something isn't right? It seems like there is a problem with the Divine Race's interior."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Remember when I said that the Winged Pegasus and the Barbarian Clans hate the Divine Race more than us? I thought the Giants were different, and were completely loyal. But it seems like those those conquered by the Divine Race are all unwilling to stay as slaves."
Laura stared before her two eyes shined, "Brother Hai, you mean?"
Zhao Hai smiled and then turned to Lizzy and said, "From now on, make sure to minimize the losses made to the Winged Pegasus and Barbarian troops. As long as they don't go too far, then we'll leave them be."
Lizzy smiled and said, "I don't think the Third Prince will allow them to do that. But we still need to prepare. I believe the Prince would stage an attack in a couple of days."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Go make some plans." Lizzy nodded before she turned and took Megan upstairs to plan their move.
Laura looked at the two before she turned to look at Zhao Hai and smiled, "Now that the people of the Ark Continent has entered the Space, I've become less busy compared to those two."
Zhao Hai smiled as he extended his arms over Laura and Ruyen's shoulders before saying, "You had it hard. Make sure to take a proper rest in the following days. Don't forget, we still need to get those Goblins later."
Laura nodded while Ruyen stayed silent. For Ruyen, being close to Zhao Hai was already enough.
At this time, Cai'er flew towards Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, Brother Wales is inviting you over for a drink. Will you go? He has been inviting you over for several times already,"
When Zhao Hai heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Why wouldn't I go? I'll go, i'll go. My Brother is asking for drinks. I wouldn't not go." Then he took the women along with him to Wales
Even Lizzy and Megan who were formulating plans were pulled over.
Before long, Zhao Hai appeared in the Ark Space's Prairie. Wales was pacing back and forth in his tent, eagerly waiting for Zhao Hai.
After seeing Zhao Hai arrive, Wales immediately laughed and said, "You guys actually came. Its been a few days, you really made me wait."
Zhao Hai laughed and replied, "Things have been quite busy. Right, Big Brother, wait for some time, I have something good to show you."
Wales looked in anticipation, "Something good? What is it?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "When the time comes I'll let you know."
Wales stopped caring about it as he laughed and said, "Alright, just tell me whenever you want. But for now, come have a few cups with me. Someone, quickly go and roast some cows." Needless to say, when they heard that Zhao Hai arrived, the other Herculean Bulls went over to see him. These people were very familiar with Zhao Hai, so they joked and laughed with each other.
Zhao Hai looked at them before he frowned jokingly, "Why are you all here? Stay away, I need some room to breathe."
The Herculean Bulls weren't afraid of Zhao Hai's fake anger. Instead, they went forward before one of them chuckled and said, "Prince, you have been working hard. I had my wife make some milk skin just for you."
Zhao Hai looked at the person and said, "Get lost. When I said milk skin, I meant those made from Argali." The person didn't care. He still grinned by Zhao Hai's side as the two of them laughed and joked with each other. In the end, Zhao Hai gave each person a bottle of milk wine before they scurried away.
Wales looked at all of these with a huge grin. When the people went away, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "These guys treat you better than me. When they see you come, everyone welcomes you very well. I don't get treated this way."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "That's natural. They like me more than they like you."
Wales laughed, "I just said that to flatter you, I didn't think you'd eat it up. Hahaha. Come on, let's have a drink. I'm afraid that your capacity for alcohol has regressed. You have been fighting the Demons and the Divine Race all this time. There hasn't been a time for you to drink."
Zhao Hai laughed as well, "And I'm afraid that you won't be able to return to your tent. Right, Big Brother, why haven't I seen mister Yale? Where is he?"
Wales smiled and said, "He's in close door cultivation. He said he had some epiphany and wanted to make a new beast token. Don't worry about him. At this point, we have been living great lives. No wars are happening since the grass here is so good. The grass grow so quickly that the argali couldn't eat them all in time. In addition to the grass, there are caravans going along the grassland every day, selling inexpensive human goods. Along with that, we also enjoy Dwarf and Elven items.'[1]
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It's good that you're happy, that means I didn't make a wrong choice. Brother, later on, I will open a shop here. If you have anything excess to sell, then you can just take it to the shop. At the same time, if you want to buy anything, you can also go there. I can guarantee the supplies offered in the shop."
Wales' eyes shone, "That's good. Although there are a lot of caravans in the Prairie, it's still quite difficult to look for certain things."
At this time, some people got up and offered the two of them some milk wine. Naturally, this wasn't the one purified by Zhao Hai, instead, it was one made by the Beastmen themselves. This was only done to offer respects, the other cups were drank with purified milk wine.
Zhao Hai drank the milk wine and let out a long breath before saying, "When you entered the Space, I can finally feel relief. These days, the Demons and the Divine Race have increased their forces. The Divine Race had their Third Prince come personally. But more worrying are the Demons, their Great Demon King actually came. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold of for too long."
Wales placed his glass down as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother, you've been working hard."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Not really that hard. I just find the Divine Race disgusting so I want to give them a good beating."
Wales slightly smiled and didn't say anything. Wales knew that when they entered the Space, Zhao Hai would no longer have any extra worries. However, this also meant that Zhao Hai was now alone in facing the Demons and the Divine Race.
In the past, the groups in the continent were very eager to send troops because their lives were threatened. If they don't help in the war, then they would be killed by the Divine Race. But now it was different. Since they were now inside the Space, the threat of the Demons and the Divine Race had virtually vanished. From this point on, it would be difficult to convince the people to fight against the Ark Continent's invaders.
What Wales didn't know was the fact that this aspect only held truth because they hadn't been inside the Space for too long. With enough time, the people inside would be predisposed to regard Zhao Hai's needs. Not to say dispatching troops, even if Zhao Hai wanted them to die, then they wouldn't hesitate to do so.
Zhao Hai didn't want to explain this ability. After all, this came with the Space. Even if he wanted to change it, he couldn’t. Besides, Zhao Hai preferred this development, this meant that there would be no traitors inside the Space.
Before long, the argali and bulls were roasted. Aside from Wales, everyone in the Herculean Bull tribe attended this meeting. Everyone ate and drank with each other.
After the event, Zhao Hai returned to the Space's villa to take a rest. Then Zhao Hai went to the living room and opened the monitor. But this time, he wasn't watching the Demons and the Divine Race, instead, he was looking at the events happening in the Ark Space
The people in the Ark Space has had it well. After the Great Clans re-established their authority, everything fell in place very quickly.
Zhao Hai was very happy about this situation. This was the reason why he decided to make the Ark Space identical to the Ark Continent. If he didn't make them similar, then the people of the Ark Continent would need to adjust to their new environment, giving Zhao Hai unnecessary worries.
The Empires of the Ark Space were now up and running, even resuming trade with each other. Moreover, the situation was even much better compared to before since the Fishmen, Beastmen, Dwarves, and Elves were now mingling with the Humans and each other. Discrimination was also slowly diminishing, removing the barriers erected by the Radiant Church in the past.
Recently, the people of the continent had experienced a lot of things, especially when they were under pressure from the Demons and the Divine Race. This caused the Humans and the other races to unite with each other. Also, when people emigrated to the Space's Ark Continent, Zhao Hai explicitly forbade the discrimination towards the other races. Because of this, the Humans started to accept the other races more and more.
After seeing that things have been normal in the Space, Zhao Hai felt relieved. Then he changed the monitor's image to the Divine Race's camp. Zhao Hai was quite curious about what changes the Third Prince would impose on the army.
And just as Zhao Hai shifted the monitor, he saw Thunder Yun approaching the imperial palace of the Radiant Empire. Zhao Hai knew that ever since arriving to the continent, the Third Prince had taken up residence inside the Empire's Royal Palace.
It might be beast tablet, forgot which is which. I'll change it when I go review the past chapters.Chapter 803 – Strange Javelin Attacks
Once Thunder Yun entered the Imperial Palace, Zhao Hai can no longer see his actions. Since that was the case, Zhao Hai turned his attention towards the Northern Icefield. He wanted to see how the Underworld's creatures were doing right now.
At this point, the poisonous mist of the Northern Icefield had already swallowed a third of the Beastman Prairie. Inside the mist were a lot of undead wandering around. And as he neared the center of the Icefield, Zhao Hai found it harder and harder to see the situation because the density of the mist was too strong. However, he can still spot some low-level undead in the surroundings.
Zhao Hai certainly wouldn't let this opportunity go. From time to time, he would grab some undead and place them in the Space. He wanted to see if he can bait some strong creatures out from the underworld.
Just as Zhao Hai grabbed another undead, he suddenly received word from Cai'er. The Divine Race were about to make their move. After he heard that, Zhao Hai immediately changed the monitor's image back to the Divine Race.
After he turned the display, Zhao Hai loudly said, "Lizzy, Megan, come down here. It's time for work." Lizzy and Megan immediately gave confirmation before they went into the living room. They were just formulating plans on how to deal with the Divine Race, so when they heard Zhao Hai they immediately had their spirits up.
After the two arrived downstairs, Zhao Hai immediately adjusted the monitor to show Thunder Yun's ugly expression as he left the Imperial Palace. Upon returning to his camp, the Generals of the Divine Race army started to amass their troops. It seems like they were getting ready to attack the Ark Continent.
When Lizzy saw this, she smiled and said, "It's really his first time in the battlefield. He didn't even give the reinforcing army enough time to rest. Just after one night and they are now starting to move. It seems like we're facing an impatient person."
Zhao Hai smiled as well, "Go do your thing. I really want to take a look at how that young man reacts." When Lizzy and Megan heard Zhao Hai, both of them chuckled.
Their plan was to send out an army to harass just like before, but this time, the intensity would be reduced. This would make the Divine Race relax and overextend their advance into the Ark Continent. After two days, they would be so far into the mainland that they would take a long time to return to the Radiant Empire. At that time, Zhao Hai would attack the Radiant Empire, snatching some magic cannons for himself while also taking some Goblins into the Space. This should force the Divine Race to retreat.
If the Divine Race didn't retreat, then Zhao Hai would use the defenses they built on the Accra Mountains to withstand the Divine Race's attack. At that time, the Demons should have already gotten news. The Demons wouldn't want to fall behind the Divine Race and will send troops after them. Then both of them would be blocked by the Accra Mountains. Zhao Hai also wanted to see whether the two invaders would work together in order to annex the Ark Continent.
Zhao Hai believed that cooperation between the Demons and the Divine Race was impossible. When the time comes, the two of them would surely fight with each other. When that happens, Zhao Hai would grab more undead from the underworld and then wait for the strong underworld creatures to arrive. Then Zhao Hai would retreat from the Accra Mountain to allow the two races entry into the center of the Continent. Once the two meet the Underworld's creatures, then Zhao Hai would hit them from behind.
As Zhao Hai thought of this, the Divine Race has dispatched their troops. Their advance wasn't too quick. Moreover, Zhao Hai noticed that the Third Prince's advance was at the front while Thunder Yun's army took the rear.
When Lizzy saw this, her eyes shone, she smiled faintly and said, "Good. Their arrangement suits our plans very well. Once they go out of the Radiant Empire's territory, we'll send our harassment army. However, we cannot hit them too much, we'll give them the expression that we can be easily dealt with."
Megan smiled, "This is that Third Prince's first time in the battlefield. We need to give him some face. If he gets terrified this quickly, then that wouldn't be too good."
Zhao Hai looked at the both of them and helplessly shook his head. These women are scary, sometimes scarier than men. Now that the Third Prince was faced against Lizzy and Megan, it would be difficult for him to have the courage to return to the battlefield in the future.
Zhao Hai turned his attention back to the Divine Race army. The Barbarian and Winged Pegasus soldiers who came with the Third Prince also moved alongside the reinforcing army, forming two wings beside it. Moreover, these troops were elites. There were flying 9th rank Barbarian Heavy Cavalry as well as some God-rank Winged Pegasus light cavalry. These God-rank cavalry units could also establish their Domains, providing them with terrifying prowess in the battlefield.
Then Zhao Hai looked at Lizzy and Megan and said, "The Barbarian and Winged Pegasus races had sent their elites. You need to send people and see whether they intend to go all out or were just acting. If they are acting, then don't pressure them too much. We don't want them to get angry at us even more."
Lizzy smiled and said, "It's fine. Although these Winged Pegasus are fast, there is still no way for them to catch up to the undead. We'll clash with them at first, then after that we start our plans. We'll make sure to send fewer troops to them compared to the Divine Race, showing them our kind intentions. At the same time, the Divine Race would have suspicion towards the two. Once a disagreement happens, then their army would surely crumble."
At this time, Laura and the others went in. Seeing them arrive, Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Let's go outside. Meg, please prepare some tea and snacks. Let's eat while looking at the Divine Race's advance."
Lizzy and the others giggled as they followed Zhao Hai outside. On the other hand, Meg went with Cai'er to prepare some tea and desserts. Zhao Hai hadn't been able to find some good tea in the Ark Continent before. However, he finally discovered some good leaves in the Elven Forest.
The Third Prince was currently sitting inside his sword carriage. A crystal was installed inside the carriage that allowed him to see the army outside. This was his first time in the battlefield, therefore he couldn't help but feel excited inside.
However, when he thought about Thunder Yun's actions in the morning, the Third Prince's expression couldn't help but sink. He coldly snorted and said, "That Old Guy certainly isn't as powerful as they say. That Zhao Hai better wish that I don't meet him, otherwise, I'll show him how terrifying I could be."
The ten maids stood behind the Third Prince. But their faces, hands, and any skin not covered exposed their bruises and wounds.
One could say that 9th ranks were full of vitality, small wounds like those can be healed in a short time. However, the Third Prince was as sick person. If someone he beat up would have their wounds heal, then the Third Prince would certainly hit them more. Because of this, the maids didn't dare to heal their wounds. They can only stand there while enduring the pain.
Although the Prince hadn't gone to the battlefield before, he still managed to properly study warfare. This allowed him to understand the situation of the battlefield. The King also had him carry out some bandit subjugation back in the Divine Realm. But these bandits were actually Goblins of the Divine Realm.
Even if the Goblins were subjugated by the Divine Race, there were still clumps of them hidden on unexplored areas. Although one would find it hard to survive on those places, the Third Prince still went on a killed all of them.
These Goblins can't even eat properly, so how could they resist these Divine Race soldiers. Because of this, it was impossible for the Third Prince to gain proper combat experience. Still, when it came to marching, the Third Prince was quite experienced. His current army was well-trained, there were no problems in the march. They even managed to look elite while doing so.
The army slowly left the Radiant Empire. The Third Prince knew that not long after Thunder Yun left the Empire, they were met by harassment attacks from the Ark Continent. Moreover, he heard that those blood lightning javelins were very strong.
Although the Third Prince thought otherwise, he was still very careful. Once they reached the border of the Radiant Empire, the Third Prince immediately ordered the army to be alert, especially the Barbarian and Winged Pegasus armies on both sides.
On the other hand, Thunder Yun was at the rear observing the Third Prince's actions. After some time he sighed and said, "Fei'er, what do think the Third Prince's reaction would be after the attack?'
After hearing no reply, Thunder Yun turned his head to look only to see another Thunder Clan person and not Fei'er. Then he remembered that he had sent Fei'er off to send a letter. After seeing the Giant that wasn't Fei'er, Thunder Yun sighed and stopped talking.
Once the Third Prince gave his order, his facial expression turned into excitement as he looked to both sides of the army. He wanted to know what attacks these Ark Continent people really have.
Sure enough, the Ark Continent didn't disappoint him. It didn't take a long time before a cavalry unit appeared on one side. These Cavalry units didn't attack the Barbarian cavalry nor Winged Pegasus cavalry. Instead, it headed directly to the Center army. The Third Prince's face flushed, his held his breath as he looked at the incoming cavalry attack.
That team of cavalry quickly arrived in front of the Divine Race army and let loose their javelins. This made the Third Prince anxious, he stared at the descending javelins to see how strong they were.
The javelin came down quite fast before an explosive sound was heard. Moreover, the explosion threw dust in the air. Once the dust has cleared, the Third Prince couldn't help but be surprised at the result.
The attacked Divine Race soldiers had a bewildered expression on their faces as they stood there. They weren't vaporized or even wounded. The attack just managed to dirty their armor and faces.
Chapter 804 – Playing With You!
A Weak Explosion!
The explosion has prestige and power, but it completely lacked in might. This made the Divine Race dumbfounded. It was just like a midday thunder, just a loud sound but there was no rain.
The Third Prince looked blankly at the dirtied Divine Race soldiers, all of which were standing there looking silly. For a good while, nobody was able to mutter any words.
"Hahaha!" The Third Prince burst into laughter. He has no reason not to laugh, what happened was too funny. "These are the blood lightning beads that Thunder Yun warned me about? Hahaha. Such trash. Only trash like him would be defeated by that attack."
The Third Prince was currently full of pride. He didn't think that the Ark Continent's attack would actually be this weak. In his opinion, destroying such an enemy would be as easy as turning his own palm.
Thunder Yun, who was at the rear of the army, had also paid attention to what happened. He was similarly staring blankly at the recent explosion. However, Thunder Yun knew that those weren't the true blood lightning beads. As far as he knew, those javelins were weaker than those in the past by about a hundred times.
When Thunder Yun saw this, his complexion couldn't help but change, "How can it be that weak? What is Zhao Hai planning to do? Does he want to lure us deep into the continent? I need to warn his Majesty about this."
After he said that, Thunder Yun waved his hand and called a messenger over. He looked at the messenger and said, "Tell His Highness the Third Prince that the attack of the Ark Continent aren't this weak. They are certainly up to something. Ask His Highness to be careful."
The messenger nodded before he turned around and walked. But quickly after that, another attack came. And just like before, the javelins only managed to make a loud explosion, no damage was caused whatsoever.
At this time, the messenger arrived at the sword carriage. He gave respects to the carriage's guards before saying, "General Thunder Yun sent this one to convey a message to His Majesty."
The guard looked contemptuously at the messenger before he coldly said, "Wait here." Then the guard turned around and walked towards the sword carriage. While he was looking at the guard, the messenger suddenly heard something. A guard whispered to another guard while looking at him, he said, "Those guys were defeated by those weak attacks. Hahaha. What a joke."
The other guards replied, "Perhaps they died because of the climate here. Thunder Yun just said that they were killed in the war so that he can gain military merit despite his failure."
Then the two of them laughed. Although their voices weren't loud, they were audible enough to be heard by the messenger. The messenger's expression immediately sank, then he looked coldly at the two guards.
Before long, the guard that went to the sword carriage came back. He looked at the messenger and said, "The Third Highness is very busy. He doesn't have the time to see you. If you have something to say, then you can leave it here. If not, then you can leave."
The messenger didn't expect this to be the case, however, he endured the humiliation as he said, "General Thunder Yun asked me to tell the Third Prince that the attack of the Ark Continent aren't this weak. They certainly have something planned. The General asked His Highness to be careful."
The guard gave a halfhearted nod before he said, "Alright, you can leave now." The messenger looked at the guard's reaction as he bitterly clenched his teeth before turning around to leave.
The messenger was quite familiar with these guards. They were known as the Divine Sword Cavalry Division. They were elite cavalries of the Taurus Continent. Each one of them had God-rank strength. Moreover, their fighting strength were the strongest in the Taurus Continent. One could say that they were the elites among elites.
In the past, when the Taurus Continent was still fighting with the other continents, these cavalry soldiers were very formidable. However, the Taurus Continent was now in a state of peace. Even if a fight came, it would only be something that the Barbarians and Winged Pegasus Armies could deal with. There simply was no reason to dispatch the Divine Sword Cavalry units.
Most of the veterans of this unit had already retired, leaving the division with recruits that haven't gone to the battlefield before. The reason they became God-ranks was entirely due to practice. Although such an army was still strong, one couldn't be sure about their true might in the battlefield. When the messenger returned to Thunder Yun's side, he bowed and said, "General, the Third Prince is said to be very busy. He doesn't have the time to see me. Because of this, I can only leave a verbal message behind."
Thunder Yun understood the meaning of what the messenger said. This made his expression sink. The Third Prince was expressing his stance on not listening to his advice.
Thunder Yun sighed. Although he wanted to do something, he knew that he was unable to do so at this time. His commanding position has been taken away by the Third Prince. In fact, except his own army, he didn't have any power to command any other troops.
Thunder Yun knew that if he dared to order the rear army, then the Third Prince surely wouldn't let him off. This made Thunder Yun confused. He didn't understand why the Third Prince would single him out like this. He remembered that the Third Prince had always been in a good relationship with the Marshal. Why would the Third Prince's attitude turn into this?
At this time, Zhao Hai was in the Space looking at how the undead were acting a play. They would throw javelins towards the Divine Race army, cause a loud explosion that threw dust in the air, and only managing to dirty the Divine Race.
Zhao Hai knew what's wrong with the Javelins. Simply, those javelins weren't equipped blood lightning beads at all. Instead, they were made with the Elves' stone ball.
The Elves' stone ball can explode as well, and their might was quite powerful. In the past, they were enough to cause problems to the Ark Continent's armies. However, one shouldn't forget that the Ark Continent only had 3rd to 4th rank soldiers in the past. Causing the same problems to the Divine Race would be impossible.
Zhao Hai had these stone balls made specifically for the Third Prince. He didn't think that it would be this effective.
After seeing the Divine Race relax as they went forward, Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is fantastic. The plan is a success. Now I want to see how that Third Prince would look like once he meets our true attack."
Lizzy, who was nearby, smiled and said, "This Third Prince is really interesting. Thunder Yun even sent a messenger over to warn him, but in the end, he turned him away."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Isn't that better? Right, Lizzy, will Thunder Yun predict our plan?"
Lizzy smiled faintly and said, "He won't." Zhao Hai looked at her and asked, "Why?'
Without waiting for Lizzy to speak, Megan answered, "Because deep inside Thunder Yun is also arrogant. He is still looking down on the Ark Continent. Although he already saw our attacks, he wouldn't expect that we would attack their camp. He would only think that we would lure them deep into the continent. Hehe, the arrogance of the Divine Race wouldn't change in a short time."
Zhao Hai nodded. No matter what move the Divine Race made, Zhao Hai was already determined to attack the Radiant Empire to get some magic cannons and Goblins.
The attacks were still going on, but for Zhao Hai and the others, this was only a spectacle to joke at. Nothing noteworthy was to be seen here. Instead, they shifted their attention to another place.
Naturally, they were looking at the Demons. Now that the Divine Race had made their move, it was inevitable that the Demons would have some changes in their camp. Zhao Hai wanted to look at how the Demons plan to deal with his harassment tactics.
In order to urge the Third Prince to go further, Zhao Hai didn't use his blood devouring mosquitoes for attack. Although Zhao Hai had been quite busy because of the evacuation of the Ark Continent, he didn't stop accumulating blood devouring mosquitoes in the Space. Every time the mosquitoes were available, he release them in the Space. Because of this, the number of mosquitoes that Zhao Hai had was extremely astonishing. Perhaps aside from the Demons and the Divine Race, no other group could resist the attack of this group of mosquitoes.
Laura and the others have been relaxing lately. But Laura had found something she can busy herself with, and it was analyzing the Processing Machine. The Processing Machine can make anything, some were pre-designed while some needed custom blueprints. Not only was Laura studying its function, she was also looking into the costs.
Using the Processing Machine costs money. There were things that both the Ark Continent and the Processing Machine can make at the same time frame. The only difference is the overall cost.
Laura was studying which product was better made in the Processing Machine and which were more suited to being made by the Ark Continent.
This study held great significance to them. The Space's consumption of gold coins was just too absurd. They needed gold for the potions as well as changing the Space's landscape. It would be impossible for them to go forward without means to acquire more gold. Laura wanted to see which places they could save on costs. Moreover, Laura was also planning to use the Space to conduct trades with the people in the Ark Space.
There were things that were very valuable when sold to the Space's store but were cheaply made in the Ark Continent, and the same was true for the other way. They could buy things from the Ark Continent for cheap and then sell them to the Space for more money. At the same time, they could also use the Processing Machine to make cheap valuable products and sell them in the Ark Space for a significant markup. This was an extremely lucrative business!
