However, those from the vassal races soon sadly discovered that they had lost even the right to escape. Just outside their battle formation, Zhao Hai's undead army had completely gathered, tightly surrounding them in the center. Now, if they wanted to escape, they would have to get past these undead beings first.
At this moment, the vassal races were filled with regret for having provoked Zhao Hai. They also sadly realized that they had truly overestimated themselves. The power Zhao Hai displayed was something they simply could not contend with. Zhao Hai could deal with the Divine Race members without needing their assistance.
With such strength, would Zhao Hai deceive them? Could they truly become cannon fodder in Zhao Hai's hands with their own strength?
If someone were to ask these vassal race members if there was anything more tragic than becoming cannon fodder, they would confidently reply, "Hmph, that would be not even having the qualification to become cannon fodder."
The confidence of these vassal races had completely collapsed. Right now, they truly did not know what to do. It should be noted that these vassal races were not united in spirit; they had only cooperated previously because they held a glimmer of hope. However, viewing the present situation, that hope was nothing but a beautiful bubble ready to burst at the slightest breeze.
Just as these vassal races felt as if the world had come to an end, a clear voice suddenly rang out, "Mr. Zhao Hai, please stop! Listen to what I, Xiao Bingya, have to say."
Upon hearing this voice, both the Darkness King and the undead beings came to a halt. The vassal races finally breathed a sigh of relief and glanced towards the origin of the voice. Indeed, it was Xiao Bingya and his companions, who they had recently pressured and ostracized. Just a few days ago, these vassal races had looked down upon Xiao Bingya, but now they suddenly found him to be quite endearing.
At this moment, the Darkness King also slowly shrank. Zhao Hai and the others revealed themselves again, with Zhao Hai still holding a glass of red wine. The crimson liquid looked eerily similar to blood. Some of the timid vassal race members trembled at the sight of the wine glass in Zhao Hai's hand, and if someone told them that the glass was filled with actual blood, they would absolutely believe it.
Zhao Hai held the wine glass with a calm expression and looked at Xiao Bingya, saying, "Xiao Bingya, is there something you want? You want me to provide food to save these people, and this is the kind of person you're asking me to save? Is this intentional on your part? Do you think that by allying with your otherworldly divine race, I am lowering your status?"
Xiao Bingya bowed respectfully to Zhao Hai and replied, "Sir, this is entirely a misunderstanding. These people were just overly worried about their own clans, plus some instigators added fuel to the fire, leading to this situation. Please, sir, show mercy and spare them."
Zhao Hai looked at Xiao Bingya, then turned to glance at the vassal race members. Upon meeting Zhao Hai's gaze, those vassal race members instinctively shrank back. Although Zhao Hai's eyes were calm, to these individuals, they were the most terrifying gaze they had ever encountered.
Zhao Hai merely glanced at these people before turning back to Xiao Bingya and asking, "Can you guarantee they won't offend me again? If they dare to offend me again, I won't hold back."
The vassal race members felt a chill run down their spines, and they couldn't help but feel absurdly amused. Over a million members of their race had already died at Zhao Hai's hands; was this what he deemed as holding back? What would happen if he decided not to hold back? They dared not even imagine.
Xiao Bingya quickly replied, "Rest assured, such a thing will absolutely not happen again."
Zhao Hai snorted, and amidst everyone's gaze, he, along with the Darkness King and the undead beings, disappeared from in front of the vassal races.
They vanished just like that—those people didn’t even notice how Zhao Hai disappeared. Now they understood that when Zhao Hai dealt with them, he truly hadn't exerted his full strength, or else they would have likely been dead long ago. Zhao Hai's claim that he was still being polite was not a lie.
