In the past two days, the demon clan had not launched any attacks, but Zhao Hai had not been idle either. He met separately with Bales, Alihan, and Gala, and then gathered all three to meet with Bess. After all, in the future, protecting Demon City would require everyone's joint efforts.
After they met, they discussed their future actions. The dwarf clan's main task right now was to dig tunnels, and they needed to finish those tunnels first.
Of course, the dwarf clan did not need so many people to dig tunnels, so they could send troops to help defend the city as well. The Elephant Race was also in a similar situation; their purpose for coming this time was to guard the city, so they also needed to send troops to patrol the city walls. This was not meant to make things difficult for them, but rather to help them quickly familiarize themselves with the situation of Demon City's walls for future battles.
The task for the Elven Race was relatively simple. Zhao Hai would definitely engage in a grand battle with the demon clan outside, and the Elven Race's task was to act as cavalry. While Zhao Hai was fighting the demon clan, they would attack from the periphery using ranged firepower.
Although the Elven Race had many dual-practice warriors skilled in both sword and lute, these warriors generally fought on the ground. They had not learned close combat in space, so if they were to encounter the demon clan, they could suffer significant losses. These warriors were the strongest combatants of the Elven Race, and if they were injured in close combat with the demon clan, it would be too much of a loss.
However, this situation brought about a problem, and this problem came from the Elephant Race. About half of the Elephant Race's combat power was on their war elephants. Although these elephants were not very fast, their defense was astonishing, and they could also use earth-based magic. In a direct confrontation, they provided substantial assistance to the Elephant Race. However, the city walls of Demon City were not very wide, and these war elephants were quite large, making it nearly impossible for them to ascend the walls.
The inability of the war elephants to reach the walls did impact the combat power of the Elephant Race, but not significantly. After all, this was a defense mission. However, it felt too wasteful to leave these powerful war elephants unused, and Zhao Hai really wished he could use them. For now, it seemed there was no good solution, so he could only let the elephants assist with transporting supplies within the city.
To prepare for the demon clan's attack, Zhao Hai had also instructed the human soldiers over the past few days to reinforce the city walls of Demon City with the soil dug by the dwarf clan, fearing that a single charge from the demon clan could collapse the walls.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Hai was no longer in Demon City. Instead, he was in the space with Laura and the others, standing in front of the universal machine. In another two minutes, the machine would finish producing a Divine-Level Potion.
Next to Zhao Hai stood Xu Wanying. When Xu Wanying heard that Zhao Hai was going to use the Divine-Level Potion to elevate him to a divine-level expert, he was momentarily stunned. He knew about the existence of the Divine-Level Potion but never expected Zhao Hai would be the first to use it on him.
However, after Zhao Hai explained, Xu Wanying understood why Zhao Hai wanted to use the Divine-Level Potion on him. He didn’t say much and quickly arranged matters regarding the Black Earth Wilderness before heading straight to the space.
As they watched the numbers on the universal machine continuously jump, everyone's heartbeats synchronized with the count, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
This was Zhao Hai's first time using such a Divine-Level Potion to elevate someone to a divine-level expert, and it was impossible not to feel nervous. If Xu Wanying could be elevated to divine-level, with their current strength, they would have the capability to battle the demon clan. Moreover, if they were given a little more time, they could have more divine-level experts, making it easy to drive the demon clan back to the demon realm.
