Zhao Hai sneered, "Of course, they will find out, but they might not discover it today. Maybe they will know by tomorrow. After all, they don't have any information fish as a means of communication. Let's head back to the Ark Continent. If those Divine Race members come looking for the supply ship tomorrow, we'll take the opportunity to take down their base."
Laura smiled slightly, "I knew you would think that. But I think we should inform Xiao Bingya and the others about this matter. The vassal races on the Taurus Continent haven't yet heard the news about the war with the Divine Race. If we go against the Divine Race base, they might be used as cannon fodder."
Princess Li also nodded, "Yes, Brother Hai. We don't know those vassal races well, and if we create enmity with them, it will cause a lot of trouble for our future actions. I think it's best to wait until Xiao Bingya has contacted those races before we deal with the Divine Race base. Anyway, we're not in a hurry. As long as we prevent the Divine Race from finding out about our ambush on their supply ship this time, we can strike when their next supply ship arrives. In the meantime, I believe Xiao Bingya can definitely establish contact with those races. What do you think?"
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and nodded. He realized he had been a bit anxious. This war couldn't be resolved in a moment; it would be a very long conflict. He reflected that it wouldn't be easy to capture a senior elder of the Divine Race wearing an ultimate weapon without using full strength. If it weren't for the fact that the elder of the Scorpion Clan underestimated them at the beginning and Laura's modifications to the Darkness King had strengthened its power, it would have been much harder to capture that person. If the elder had been determined to escape, Zhao Hai would have had no chance of stopping him.
However, after suffering this setback, the Divine Race would definitely strengthen their defenses. The next time they sent reinforcements, it might be two senior elders. If Zhao Hai had to deal with two at the same time, although he was confident of victory, capturing both would not be easy.
If Zhao Hai couldn't capture those senior elders of the Divine Race, the war wouldn't end quickly. It would be nearly impossible to resolve the conflict with the Divine Race soon.
Moreover, Zhao Hai thought of something. In the God Realm, there were thirteen continents, twelve of which were named after the twelve zodiac signs, but one was not. If the ultimate weapon of the Divine Race resembled the twelve Golden Holy Armors, what would the thirteenth one be? Zhao Hai frowned slightly but shook his head, pushing these thoughts out of his mind. Now was not the time to ponder this; he would find out later.
Seeing Zhao Hai nodding, then staring blankly before shaking his head, Princess Li asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Brother Hai? Did I say something wrong?"
Zhao Hai looked at her and smiled faintly, "No, you didn't say anything wrong. I'm just overthinking. Alright, I'll go see Xiao Bingya and find out when they can establish contact with those vassal races."
With that, Zhao Hai stood up and walked outside.
Xiao Bingya and the others were currently sitting on the deck outside. The Darkness King had already left the battlefield, but they did not return to their rooms.
The recent battle had been a significant shock for them. The fact that a senior elder of the Divine Race could be killed by Zhao Hai so quickly was simply unbelievable.
Furthermore, they hadn't contributed in that battle at all, which left them feeling quite uncomfortable. In their eyes, they felt like useless burdens in Zhao Hai's eyes, which felt quite disheartening.
But they had to admit that Zhao Hai was right; they couldn't contribute anything in the battle against the Divine Race. Although they were considered skilled in their own races, here, they felt like nothing.
Even though Zhao Hai assigned them tasks, those tasks were not combat-related, which left them feeling quite frustrated.
