When Zhao Hai heard Laura say this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded, saying, “This method is good. We can start making it right away on the continent, but this magic circle also needs testing. It can't be too large or too small. If it's too big, it wastes the energy of the crystal stones; if it's too small, it won't serve its defensive purpose.”
Laura smiled and said, “This shouldn't be a problem. Right now, your word carries more weight than anyone else's on the continent. Plus, my father has done a lot of research on this over the years, so we can leave it to them. I'm sure there will be results soon.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Good. You should contact your father right away and inform him about this matter. I believe he will know how to create this magic circle. Tell them to hurry up with the research and get it done as soon as possible.”
Laura nodded, “I will arrange that. But Brother Hai, we can't be idle during this time. Why not check in with Lily and Meigen to see how they're doing? If things aren't going well, we could dispatch some undead beings to attack the divine race. Those spears and stones can be lethal to humans, but they’re much less effective against undead beings.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Alright, I will talk to them. I think those heavy armored cavalry should have been dealt with by now.”
Just as Zhao Hai finished speaking, Lily's voice came through, “It seems that Meigen and I haven't let Brother Hai down. Brother Hai, we've dealt with those heavy armored cavalry.”
Zhao Hai turned to see Lily and Meigen walking over with excited expressions. He quickly smiled and asked, “How did it go? Did you really take care of those heavy armored cavalry? How many are left now?”
The reinforcements from the divine race mainly consisted of Divine Race Members, but there were also some heavy armored cavalry and Pegasus Light Cavalry, along with some other races. These other races didn't act with the main forces of the divine race this time but were instead used as ambush troops to deal with other cities of the Pagoda Empire. Therefore, Zhao Hai wanted to know how many heavy armored cavalry had been eliminated.
Meigen smiled, “We took down quite a few heavy armored cavalry this time, Brother Hai. You won't believe how many there were—five million!”
When Zhao Hai heard this, he was overjoyed, “That's fantastic! That's five million more undead beings; this is a huge gain. We have even more Pegasus cavalry than heavy armored cavalry. Our strength will greatly increase. Great! You two should rest well, and then go handle those Pegasus Light Cavalry. By the way, gather those fast undead beings for me; I need them to deal with the divine race’s main forces.”
Lily and Meigen agreed. This operation against the heavy armored cavalry had truly put them through their paces. The enemy was strong and numerous, making it difficult to deal with them in a short time.
However, Lily and Meigen had thought of a plan. The dwarf clan dug traps in three directions that the heavy armored cavalry would advance from. When the heavy armored cavalry encountered these traps, they would have to stop.
The heavy armored cavalry's greatest strength was their charge, and once they halted, their momentum would greatly diminish, and so would their power. The purpose of those traps was to make them stop.
When the heavy armored cavalry saw the traps, they immediately realized they had fallen into the dwarf clan’s scheme. They quickly cast earth magic on the ground, which had the effect of making the soil as hard as iron, lasting for about an hour, preventing the dwarf clan from launching underground attacks.
However, they were mistaken this time; Lily and the others were not planning to attack them from underground. Instead, they used a different method. While the heavy armored cavalry was using earth magic on the ground, undead beings suddenly appeared around them and began to attack the heavy armored cavalry.
These undead beings appeared so suddenly and all had ninth-level strength, so the heavy armored cavalry hadn’t even realized what was happening before they were wiped out.
