Fei'er and the others were momentarily stunned when they heard Zhao Hai's words. Their expressions then changed, as they realized something they hadn't considered before: if the divine race truly used that ultimate weapon against their kin, defeat was inevitable.
Zhao Hai looked at Fei'er and the others and comforted them, "Alright, no need to worry. Tomorrow we will accelerate our offensive. I genuinely want to see what the divine race's ultimate weapon looks like."
Fei'er and the others fell silent. Zhao Hai turned to them and said, "Fei'er, after you return, send a message to your kin. Don’t push the divine race too hard; let us deal with them." The three responded affirmatively, stood up to bid farewell to Zhao Hai, and left immediately.
Zhao Hai smiled at their expressions. The Great Demon Lord also chuckled, saying, "Sir, you've scared them. But to be honest, that possibility does exist. If I were the ruler of Taurus Continent, I would use the ultimate weapon to wipe out their three tribes first, and then turn to face you, so there would be no worries behind me."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Exactly. I thought the same, which is why I reminded them. But it's strange; why didn't they mention the ultimate weapon before? Did they forget?"
The Great Demon Lord and the Dragon King exchanged glances, unsure how to respond. It seemed that Fei'er and the others had forgotten, but whether they truly forgot was hard to say. Zhao Hai noticed their expressions and smiled slightly, "Alright, no need to worry. Whether they genuinely forgot or pretended to forget makes no difference to me." The Great Demon Lord and the Dragon King exchanged glances and laughed. The Dragon King added, "Perhaps, sir, you might acquire another weapon soon." Hearing this, Zhao Hai also smiled.
Zhao Hai was so relaxed not because he looked down on the divine race's ultimate weapon, but because he was confident. He believed that the strength of the Darkness King was sufficient to defeat the enemy. If the Darkness King couldn't defeat them, then the divine race wouldn't regard Lu Wei as a supreme deity.
If Lu Wei wanted to become a member of the divine race as a supreme deity, he must possess that level of strength. Both the Yin Soul Tower and the treasure ship were incredibly powerful entities. If Zhao Hai hadn't undergone several enhancements, he wouldn't be able to contend with Lu Wei. This meant that Lu Wei's two treasures were more powerful than the divine race's ultimate weapon; otherwise, the divine race wouldn't bow to him.
If Lu Wei's two treasures were stronger than the divine race's ultimate weapon, then wouldn't Zhao Hai's fusion of these two treasures make him even stronger? This was the source of Zhao Hai's confidence.
Zhao Hai was indeed very confident, but he did not underestimate his enemies. A lion fights a rabbit with all its might, and so did Zhao Hai.
After Fei'er and the others returned to their camp, they immediately wrote a letter to their tribe and sent it back. They truly feared that the scenario Zhao Hai described might occur.
The next morning, Zhao Hai and the others continued their assault on the golden bull divine race. However, Zhao Hai changed their combat approach. He inquired about the situation in Taurus Continent from Fei'er. They were currently positioned in the southeast of Taurus Continent, which was considered inland.
If they attacked towards the northwest as they did yesterday, it would mean carving a diagonal path through Taurus Continent.
Zhao Hai didn't want that to happen; he changed his strategy and aimed to secure the southeast of Taurus Continent first, making it their rear base to ensure no enemies could suddenly attack from behind. Thus, today's attack direction focused on all enemies in the southeastern part of Taurus Continent.
The current military strength of Taurus Continent was already limited, and the southeast had tightened defenses, with almost all troops concentrated in various cities. This presented Zhao Hai an opportunity; much like pulling out nails, he took down those cities one by one. Simultaneously, the map of Taurus Continent in his space was expanding.
