This was a great victory over the enemy, as they had finally annihilated the golden bull divine race. All the clans had gained their freedom, and from now on, no one would ride on their backs and rule over them.
However, it was also a bittersweet victory, as all the clans suffered significant losses. Although they had won this time, the clan leaders of the Thunder Clan and the other two clans did not wear many smiles. They knew this was just the beginning, and even harsher battles awaited them in the future.
The few of them quietly stood behind Zhao Hai, gazing at the slowly setting sun on the horizon, appreciating the beauty of dusk. For a moment, no one spoke.
After a long while, Zhao Hai finally said, "I really didn't expect this battle to be so brutal. Each of your clans has suffered heavy losses and will need time to recuperate. However, the divine race will not let this slide so easily. I believe it won't be long before the coalition from the God Realm comes for us."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, everyone's mood grew even heavier. They knew he was right. The golden bull divine race had already dispatched reinforcements, which had been sent out for more than a month. Although no reinforcements had arrived yet, they believed it was only a matter of time. The golden bull divine race had mistakenly underestimated Zhao Hai's speed of attack, which was why their forces had not returned.
But once they did, trailing behind would be the coalition from the divine race, and at that time, the situation they would face would be even more dire.
The clan leader of the Thunder Clan sighed, "I didn't expect the strength of the divine race to be so formidable. I thought they would be easy to deal with, given the heavy blows they suffered on the Ark Continent and their insufficient troops. However, I didn't anticipate that this final battle would be so fierce; it can be considered a bittersweet victory."
The others nodded in agreement. Although the Thunder Clan had the least losses in this battle, their population was small, and in comparison to their total numbers, their casualties might have been the heaviest among the clans.
Zhao Hai sighed again and continued, "What are your plans moving forward? The golden bull divine race is gone, but other divine races will come, and among the reinforcements, there will definitely be various kinds of ultimate weapons. I can handle these ultimate weapons, but at the same time, I cannot take care of you too much. Future casualties may be even greater."
The mood of the clan leaders was extremely heavy. They had thought that by joining forces with Zhao Hai, they could contend with the divine race, but they had also attracted even more formidable enemies. If things were not handled properly, there was a real danger of being annihilated.
Suddenly, Xiao Bingya, who had been silent, spoke up, "Sir, I have a suggestion, and I don't know if it is feasible."
Zhao Hai turned his head to look at Xiao Bingya with curiosity and asked, "Oh? Please, go ahead."
Xiao Bingya looked at everyone, who were now watching him intently, and said in a deep voice, "Sir, our otherworldly divine race has had some connections with those tribes that were conquered by the divine race. We know that some tribes are not very satisfied with the rule of the divine race. Sir, what do you think about spreading the news of the events here on the Taurus Continent to those tribes? Perhaps those people would rise up against the divine race, which would significantly lessen the pressure we face."
Zhao Hai paused for a moment, then replied with curiosity, "That is indeed a good suggestion, but hasn’t your otherworldly divine race ever conquered other spaces? Haven't you ever enslaved other tribes? If your rear lines also rise in rebellion, our troubles will only increase."
Xiao Bingya smiled wryly and said, "What you might not know, sir, is that we really have not conquered any other spaces. Conquering other spaces primarily requires the use of those demon arrays that can break through space, and those were bestowed upon the divine race by their supreme divine-level experts. The divine race has never revealed them, so we of the otherworldly divine race have no knowledge of these arrays, and naturally, we cannot break through space to conquer other tribes."
