CHAPTER 799: Is Cai'er Also Jealous?
The Great Demon Lord picked up the information on the small table and examined it carefully. Then, he frowned and placed the information back on the table. He looked at the Dragon King and asked, “Has this information been verified?”
The Dragon King nodded and said, “It has been verified. When the information was sent, it was written in a secret language. Even if it were intercepted, no one would be able to understand it, and it couldn’t be fabricated either.”
The Great Demon Lord frowned again and inquired, “Is there any other information?”
The Dragon King shook his head and replied, “After this information, no further reports have come in. That's why I couldn't make a decision. Firstly, the contents of this report are too bizarre. Secondly, I'm afraid this information was deliberately leaked by the other side, who might have known the identity of our spy. They could have fed him some false information, and once he delivered that message, they immediately captured him. Consequently, the intelligence we received could very well be false. There’s a significant possibility of that. The last possibility is that this information is true. If that’s the case, we’ll be in big trouble. Just two days after we received this information, all the troops stationed on the other side of the Ark Continent retreated completely, and we don’t know what that means.”
The Dragon King furrowed his brows and nodded, saying, “You did well not to act rashly. If we had launched an attack, we might have fallen into the enemy’s trap. From our previous battles, it’s clear that they are not only a powerful opponent but also a very cunning one. We must be cautious when facing such foes. What are your plans for the next step?”
The Dragon King solemnly stated, “Wait. I believe the divine race won’t just accept their previous defeat. They will certainly attack the Ark Continent. Moreover, Zhao Hai won’t let the divine race off easily. I’ve heard that when the divine race descended and carried out a blood sacrifice on people from one of the countries on the Main Ark Continent, Zhao Hai was so enraged upon learning of this that he spat blood and vowed to exterminate the divine race. It seems that the enmity between these two families is even stronger than ours.”
The Great Demon Lord frowned and asked, “Is that so? Aren’t the people of the Ark Continent always regarding us, the demon clan, as symbols of evil? Would they still consider the divine race more evil than us?”
The Dragon King smiled bitterly and replied, “I can’t speak for others, but Zhao Hai is not an ordinary person. He probably doesn’t view us as that evil. On the contrary, his hatred for the divine race is very real. I discovered over ten million races among the undead army in Zhao Hai’s ranks that don’t exist on the Ark Continent. Those people could very well be from the divine race, turned into undead beings after being killed by Zhao Hai.”
The Great Demon Lord chuckled, “I believe Zhao Hai’s hatred towards us won’t be any less. After all, we are also invaders of the Ark Continent. Anyone invading the Ark Continent will be Zhao Hai’s enemy. However, this information has some discrepancies. Logically speaking, Zhao Hai has always had the upper hand in battles against our two races. Under such circumstances, he has no reason to suddenly relocate the people on the Ark Continent. The report only states that some situation has arisen on the continent, but the exact nature of this situation is still unknown. Have you sent someone to investigate?”
With a grim expression, the Dragon King nodded, “I have sent people, several of them, but regrettably, none have returned. I suspect they have already been killed by Zhao Hai. This is precisely why I have not launched an attack. I increasingly feel that this may be a trap set by Zhao Hai.”
The Great Demon Lord nodded, “You’re right. When dealing with an enemy like Zhao Hai, caution is the best approach. Well then, go and make arrangements to ensure the follow-up troops have a place to rest. Let them adapt to the situation in the Ark Continent. I believe the reinforcements from the divine race won’t keep us waiting for too long. Once the divine race launches their attack, we will also deploy our troops. I truly want to meet Zhao Hai now.”
