Zhao Hai nodded and said, "This method is feasible." However, it is too time-consuming. How about this, I will discuss it with the kings of the various countries on the continent and ask them to send some earth-type magic arrays to help. But when it comes to digging tunnels, the dwarf clan are the experts. Once those mages arrive, I will let them be under the unified command of the dwarf clan. Alihan, you must quickly connect these large cities with the tunnels and then gradually connect the smaller cities as well. This way, our battle with the demon clan will become more diversified. Remember to leave some ventilation openings; the demon clan also has magic arrays, so we must always be cautious of their sabotage of the tunnels."
Alihan nodded and replied, "Rest assured, I am already prepared. The tunnels have been dug very deep; ordinary mages cannot destroy them. Furthermore, the tunnels dug by our dwarf clan, you must have seen them; I guarantee there will be no issues."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, I have great admiration for the abilities of the dwarf clan. I will go to the kingdom of light soon and leave some undead beings to protect this place. You don't need to worry; even if the opponent sends a divine-level expert, there will be no problems. Moreover, I just visited the demon clan's camp, and their main focus right now is city construction. They won't take the initiative to attack us; for now, the demon clan isn't a danger. On the contrary, I am worried about what those guys from the divine race might do; I need to check on them."
Alihan nodded, "Should we have the clan leader bring the divine race here to oversee, making this place a bit safer?"
Zhao Hai shook his head, "Not yet. Even if Clan Leader Billy and the others arrive, they still need to set up defenses at Aklaya Mountain. If it really comes to it, we can abandon the Pagoda Empire here and cede the territory to the divine race and demon clan. This way, the divine race and demon clan will surely battle for territory, and we can relax a bit."
The people in the room listened quietly to Zhao Hai's words, but their expressions were not very good. Most of them were from the Pagoda Empire; this was their home, and now they were being asked to abandon it. They were understandably unhappy. Zhao Hai glanced at the people in the room and understood what they were thinking. He said solemnly, "Don't think too much about it. What you are giving up is just land and houses, but your families are still here. As long as your families are with you, you still have a home. Alright, I won't interfere too much with the matters here. I don't think the demon clan will come for a while. They have a certain understanding of the divine race and are quite wary of them. Until they have that strength, they won't leave their camp."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Hai looked at a few people, then waved his hand, and Thorn Shadow appeared in the room. Zhao Hai turned around and said, "This is Thorn Shadow, a divine-level expert from the demon clan, but now he is my undead being. With him stationed here, even if the demon clan comes with divine-level experts, you needn't worry. As soon as an attack occurs, I will return as quickly as possible. Alright, I'm off. Bess, it's up to you here."
Bess replied, and Zhao Hai led Xu Wanying and Berry out of the hall, disappearing in a flash.
The people in the hall all knew that Zhao Hai had spatial otherworldly techniques, so they weren't surprised by his performance.
The three quickly arrived at the border of the kingdom of light, reaching the city they had visited before, which showed no changes. The people and magical beasts were still lying there like dried corpses. However, when Zhao Hai saw those corpses, he no longer felt anger; he buried his rage deep within, waiting for the day of revenge.
This time, Zhao Hai had come to investigate the New Continent; he wanted to see what was happening there, why the divine race hadn't evacuated yet.
