Chapter 877: The Great Rebellion of the Vassal Races
The vassal races did not keep Zhao Hai waiting for too long. The key factor was that the divine race was cooperating too well. The oppression of the vassal races by the divine race had become increasingly severe, escalating to the point where they would directly capture and kill anyone they deemed unsatisfactory. Under such circumstances, the vassal races finally erupted in rebellion.
They could no longer wait, nor dare to wait. If they continued to wait, their people would be exterminated by the divine race. Thus, the vassal races of the various divine clans rose up in rebellion one after another, and the scale was quite massive.
Zhao Hai learned of this news from Xiao Bingya on the tenth day after the four large ships from Atlantis Continent arrived at Myriad Ships Continent.
Zhao Hai was primarily focused on the situation in Atlantis Continent. Although the O'Neill family was aware that the departure of the people from Ark Continent was suspicious, they did not pay much attention and still sailed to Ark Continent. They arrived at a port city, Chushui City, which was originally a significant port city of the Roson Empire.
This city had always been managed by a prince of the Roson Empire, but it was now desolate and deserted.
However, for the O'Neill family, this did not matter. They landed close to Chushui City, which is why they chose it as their landing point.
Fortunately, the port in Chushui City was a deepwater port; otherwise, they truly would not have been able to dock those four large ships. Although the O'Neill family knew there were no people here, they were still very cautious and sent out mecha to scout the entire city. Only after confirming there was no danger did they allow the bulk of their forces to disembark.
Once the mecha soldiers of the O'Neill family landed, they did not rush to expand into Ark Continent. Instead, they sent small squads to scout within Ark Continent, while the others began renovating Chushui City.
Although Chushui City was once a famous port of the Roson Empire, it was not suitable for the O'Neill family’s use. Their family primarily utilized mecha and war chariots, and both were quite large. Especially the war chariots, which could carry twenty mecha, making them resemble enormous behemoths.
Although Chushui City was not a small city, the buildings were constructed to regular standards, which meant they were impressive but could not accommodate the war chariots.
Moreover, when the mecha were not in combat, it was best to keep them in a building for maintenance, so they required warehouses for storage. Ordinary houses in Chushui City could not hold the mecha, so the O'Neill family needed to establish a base here for their long-term military operations. They couldn't just ignore mechanical issues and keep sending them back to the ships for repairs. Those four ships could not remain there forever; they needed to return to Kess Island to transport supplies to Ark Continent.
During these days, aside from sending small scout teams, the O'Neill family focused on renovating Chushui City, and there were no significant disturbances. Moreover, their scouting range did not extend beyond the Roson Empire, so Zhao Hai's wish to engage them with the Underworld naturally fell flat.
At that moment, Xiao Bingya sent Zhao Hai news that the vassal races of the divine race had rebelled. Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai was genuinely overjoyed; once the rebellion commenced, he could take action here.
It wasn't that he was a war fanatic, but after so many days of merely observing without being able to fight, it had been quite frustrating. Now, he could finally deal with those divine beings.
However, Zhao Hai did not show much reaction in front of Xiao Bingya. He merely nodded and said, “Okay, understood.” After speaking, he turned and returned to his room.
Once back in his room, Zhao Hai immediately told Laura and the others, “Prepare yourselves; we’re going out soon. First, we’ll deal with the divine race.”
