Chapter 639: Two Days
When Alexis heard Adam say this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh and said, “It seems I was right to cultivate you as the next clan leader, Adam. You really are a smart person. You don’t have to dress it up so nicely; what you call cooperation is actually submission. If we don’t submit to Zhao Hai, will he come to save us? You guessed right.”
Adam looked at Alexis and asked, “Clan leader, did the people from the church of light really use self-harm magic? Are they planning to annihilate all of you inside?”
Alexis's expression turned serious as he replied, “It’s not self-harm magic; it’s a sacrificial ritual. They treat us as sacrifices. If it weren’t for Zhao Hai, we would all be dead.”
Adam’s face turned quite grim. He said in a deep voice, “Is the clan leader planning to cooperate with Zhao Hai and engage in a great battle against the divine race?”
Alexis glanced at Adam; he knew Adam had already guessed the general situation. Speaking with such a clever person was indeed efficient. He said seriously, “It’s better to die fighting with dignity than to live a life without it. Isn’t that the oath of our Dragon Clan?”
Adam’s expression improved slightly. He looked at Alexis, stood up, and bowed slightly, saying, “I will disband the army now and let them return to their tribes. The Shark Clan has always been with us; I will make things clear to them. I believe the mermaid clan won’t make things difficult for them.”
Alexis looked at Adam and suddenly burst into laughter, saying, “Good, Adam. Go ahead and do it. If this time our Sea Dragon Clan does not perish completely, the next clan leader will be you.” Adam did not show any joy; he just bowed to Alexis before turning to leave.
At this moment, in the space within the blade scale whale, Zhao Hai was sitting there, watching Alexis on the monitor, with Laura and the others sitting beside him. As soon as Adam left the main hall, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, it seems things are falling into place.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Let’s go meet General Luo Ying.” After that, Zhao Hai commanded the blade scale whale to swim slowly towards the Azure Dragon Battle Snail, leading Laura and the others into the battle room.
In the battle room, the water curtain was already gone. Luo Ying was anxiously waiting for Zhao Hai. She had no idea how things were going. Just moments ago, when the people from the church of light were using that magic, nothing could be seen in her water curtain, and due to that magic, the sea water had become extremely murky, making reconnaissance difficult. As a result, she could only wait here.
Although she still had great confidence in Zhao Hai, she was very worried because this battle was too important. If something happened to Zhao Hai, it would not only affect the mermaid clan but could also impact future confrontations with the divine race. If Zhao Hai really had an accident, the mermaid clan would become the scapegoats for all the races on Ark Continent 6.
At that moment, Zhao Hai, along with Laura and the others, arrived at the battle hall. Luo Ying let out a sigh of relief and immediately invited Zhao Hai to sit down, saying, “Sir, how did it go? I was worried sick.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and reassured her, “General, please don’t worry. Everything is fine now, but please hold your forces for two days. After two days, everything will be clear.”
Luo Ying looked at Zhao Hai in confusion and asked, “What do you mean, sir?”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and replied, “After two days, everything will be clear. Please rest assured, I believe the Sea Dragon Clan will not attack again, and their army will probably disband in these two days. How to deal with those who rebelled alongside the Sea Dragon Clan will be up to you, General.”
Luo Ying was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she turned to Zhao Hai, saying, “Is what you say true?”
Zhao Hai smiled and assured her, “Absolutely no deception. Please prepare, General. However, there might be a little trouble with the Shark Clan; that will depend on you.”
