Chapter 722: The Enemy's Enemy
Lily looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, "The divine race is difficult to deal with. This time, they changed the heaven and earth laws, not out of goodwill to help the ninth-level experts of the Ark Continent ascend to divine-level, but to mobilize their army to the Ark Continent and completely flatten it. From the performance of that divine expert, it's clear that their previous defeat has made them furious. This time, when they come for the Ark Continent, it will definitely be a thunderous assault. Fortunately, we have gained quite a bit this time. However, Brother Hai, are those ordinary troops really useful? Keeping them around is just sending them to their deaths!"
Zhao Hai sighed and said, "Regardless, we have to keep them. They are also a part of the Ark Continent. If they don’t contribute anything in this war, they will feel very guilty. At that point, their gratitude towards us won’t just be appreciation, but rather, they will be more fearful of us. They will worry that we might use that gratitude to threaten them. And have you considered that with the divine race making such a big fuss to target the Ark Continent, wouldn’t others in the God Realm also target them? They have enemies too, and those enemies are the gods of the three major alien races. If we can get those alien races to participate, it will be beneficial for us. If the people from the three major alien races are still around, they will definitely assist their respective races, thereby giving us an additional ally."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Lily was slightly taken aback and asked, "I understand now. Brother Hai, do you really think the gods of the three major alien races still exist? So many years have passed; even if they are still alive, they must be ancient by now, right? Even gods can’t live for tens of thousands of years without dying, can they?"
Zhao Hai nodded and replied, "I know, but it doesn’t have a significant impact on us. If those alien gods can help us because of their feelings towards their own races, that would be best. Even if they don’t help us out of those feelings, we shouldn’t worry too much. Right now, we are relying on our own strength. As long as we show our power to those alien races, they will definitely come to assist us, especially if they still hold a grudge against the divine race."
Lily understood Zhao Hai's words, which essentially meant that the enemy's enemy is a friend. If the gods of the alien races truly have a grudge against the divine race, then upon seeing Zhao Hai’s power, those gods would definitely come to help Zhao Hai, uniting to eliminate the divine race, which would be beneficial for them as well.
However, Lily was somewhat worried and asked, "Brother Hai, do you really think the gods of the alien races have a grudge against the divine race? What if they don’t?"
Zhao Hai’s eyes flashed coldly as he replied, "If not, it’s not a big deal. We just need to strengthen ourselves. I want to see whether my space is more powerful or the divine race is."
At that moment, Laura also approached and said to Zhao Hai, "Brother Hai, the orders have been sent out. I believe they will make adjustments. Do we really not need to guard against the demon clan?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "We definitely need to guard against them, but right now, the strength of the demon clan isn’t very strong either. I sensed today that there seem to be only ten divine-level experts in their camp. Such numbers aren’t many, and with the divine race making such a commotion, the demon clan is already alert. They will definitely focus more energy on guarding against the divine race, as they see the divine race as a greater threat than us."
Laura and the others nodded; this was the truth. Both the divine race and the demon clan were still unaware that Zhao Hai had over ten thousand divine-level undead beings under his command. They were still viewing Zhao Hai based on previous standards, and they would certainly suffer for it.
