Chapter 755: The Fear of the Demon Clan
There is a long distance between Demon City and Yangping City. It is impossible to see Demon City from Yangping City. Zhao Hai monitored the movements of the demon clan through the spatial connection, which is why Berry didn't know about the situation there without sending scouts, relying solely on Zhao Hai's reminders.
Berry is currently in a difficult situation. He wants to hold back the demon clan, but his control over those alien races is not as strong as Zhao Hai's. Therefore, it is nearly impossible for him to command them in battle like Zhao Hai does.
In Yangping City, the most suitable troops for scouting are the Elven Race. However, Berry cannot command the Elven Race, making the scouting efforts here nearly nonexistent.
Even if the Elven Race listens to Bess out of respect for Zhao Hai, they won’t fully comply, so having scouts in Yangping City is essentially pointless.
However, this time it was Zhao Hai who issued orders through Bess. Even if the individuals didn't want to give Bess face, they wouldn't dare to disregard Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai has always been very fair regarding the treatment of alien races. If they were punished by Zhao Hai, their clan wouldn’t complain; in fact, they might punish them again.
Because of this, the Elven Race was willing to engage the demon clan's scouts and achieved a great victory. Except for a handful of individuals, almost all of the demon clan members were wiped out. Although the numbers weren't large, it significantly boosted the morale of the soldiers in Yangping City.
Seeing the actions of the Elven Race, Zhao Hai felt very pleased. Their performance was impressive, and most importantly, he learned about the strength of the ninth-level Elven Race through this incident. In the future, he can have a better understanding of how to utilize them.
The demon clan in Demon City was unaware of the scouts' situation. As Lily said, their control over the army had reached an extraordinary level. If the scouts didn't return after a few hours, it meant something had happened to them. Otherwise, the scouts wouldn’t just stay away. If they returned late, they would face punishment.
So, when the demon clan noticed their scouts hadn’t returned, they immediately realized something had gone wrong and dispatched a large group to search for them. Of course, they found nothing.
The demon clan understood that finding nothing meant only one possibility—they had been eliminated by the human race. They knew that even if their scouts were killed, there would be no traces left behind, as they were aware Zhao Hai could turn people into undead beings. Even if Zhao Hai killed many, they wouldn't find any evidence.
Knowing this, the demon clan sent out a large force to search for the scouts. However, even with a large contingent, they didn't dare to approach Yangping City.
Clearly, these demon clan members were very wary of Zhao Hai. They wouldn’t move against him until they had sufficient strength.
Zhao Hai watched the movements of the demon clan on the screen and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing they didn’t attack Demon City immediately. The reason he sent the Elven Race into battle this time was to test their combat effectiveness, but also to make the demon clan more wary of him, preventing them from attacking recklessly.
However, this situation has its pros and cons. The demon clan wouldn't dare to attack without assurance, but once they decided to attack, they would be fully prepared. By that time, even if Zhao Hai stepped in personally, it might be impossible to hold back their offensive.
What worried Zhao Hai the most was that he might not be able to intervene then. Although the divine race reinforcements hadn’t arrived yet, various signs indicated they were on their way.
The troops of the divine race were tirelessly distributing supplies to various military camps and clearing the cities of the church of light. All these signs pointed to the imminent arrival of the divine race reinforcements.
