Chapter 716 – Rising Sun City



When he heard Lizzy’s answer, Zhao Hai gave a satisfied nod and said, “Good, good . These defensive lines wouldn’t only help in dealing with the Demons, it will also help with resisting the Divine Race as well . Also, we should consider a path of retreat . If we turtle up in the Buddha Empire for too long, the Demons and Divine Race might join up to deal with us . On the other hand, if we are able to give up some areas of the Empire, then it might become a battlefield between the Demons and the Divine Race . Make sure that there aren’t too much supplies on those defensive lines . It wouldn’t be easy to get those excess materials during a mass retreat . ”

Lizzy and the others nodded, then Zhao Hai looked at their faces and said, “Now that everything has been arranged, you should go and rest . I’ll use this time to show my face to the masses, otherwise, my absence might cause some panic . ”

Lizzy and the others nodded, then Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, you should be careful . You’re very crucial to the survival of the continent . We’ll definitely lose this war if you fall . ”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Rest assured, I won’t die that easily . In fact, my disappearance has nothing to do with me being injured, I broke through . Since I needed a lot of energy, I decided to go inside Bubble and absorb the energy inside the Blood Pool . Moreover, Shiying gave me his Demonic Core, supplementing my energy . At the same time, the lotus has been placed in the Blood Pond as well . Now, the lotus has become my Life Treasure . At this point, even if the Demon Dragon King’s group gangs up on me, I still wouldn’t be in any danger . So you don’t need to worry . ” When Laura and the others heard this, they let out a sigh of relief . They were afraid that Zhao Hai had encountered a heavy injury . If that were to happen, then the impact on the continent would be great .

Laura and the others’ worries about Zhao Hai were without no reason . If Zhao Hai was really hurt, then his Space wouldn’t he used . And if there was no Space, then the transfer of both troops and supplies would be very difficult . Most importantly, without the Space, the powerful undead wouldn’t be used . This will leave the defense of the Ark Continent to the various native powers . For these people to go against the Demons and the Divine Race would be a disaster for the entire continent . Zhao Hai looked at their expression and said, “It’s fine, there’s no need to worry about me . Just go and take a rest . I’ll go have a look outside, I’ll take care of the unfinished work . Cai’er is still here as well . Cai’er, I’ll have to trouble you . ”

Cai’er smiled and said, “Young Master is too polite . I also have some control over the Space . Moreover, I really don’t need to take a rest . Young Master can rest assured that I shall arrange everything . ”

Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned to look at Laura and the others and said, “Well, you heard it . Go and take a good rest . Shue, Berry, you two go take a rest as well . The recent days have been too hard on you . ”

Berry smiled and said, “I’m fine, Brother Hai . I’ll be coming along with you . I’m a God-rank expert as well, I don’t need to rest . ”

Zhao Hai looked at Berry and then nodded, “Alright, then you and Shue go with me . You also need to undergo some fights before comprehending your own Domains . ” Then Zhao Hai’s body disappeared along with Berry and Shue . Zhao Hai appeared in Demon City first, he wanted to see the situation there before heading towards Rising Sun city .

At this time, there weren’t any people in Demon City, everyone has retreated, leaving an empty city behind . Zhao Hai looked at the state of the city and couldn’t help but sigh . The present Demon City looked like a ghost town, not a single sound can be heard inside it . The ground was also filled with junk, making it look bleak . But on the bright side, there weren’t any deaths here because of a fight .

Shue also looked at Demon City and felt quite awkward . Just yesterday, this place was filled with people . Now, there wasn’t anyone in this place . The mercenaries and adventurers here had no choice but to give up their homes, it was a bit sad to think about .

Zhao Hai flew above Demon City and looked at the Demon camp in the distance . The Demons were still busy right now . It seems like they weren’t planning to stop building their city . Zhao Hai can even feel ten God-ranked aura emanating from their camp .

Zhao Hai sighed and said, “It looks like the Demons are catching up . But this is also good . The stronger they look, the more attention they would attract from the Divine Race . Let’s go and take a look at Rising Sun City . I’ll leave some God-ranked undead there before heading towards the Radiant Empire to take a look why the Divine Race are still yet to take action . After all, they just made a huge move . ”



After saying that, Zhao Hai used the Space to immediately teleport to Rising Sun City . Rising Sun City was the closest place to Demon City . The distance between Rising Sun City and Demon City was only five small towns . Because of this, Rising Sun City was considered to be the second stronghold after Demon City .

Rising Sun City was quite a big place . It’s original population was about 1 million . At this time, it has become part of the defensive line . On the five towns between Demon City and Rising Sun City, other than mounted scouts, not a single person can be seen .


Besmir and the others had already used the spatial rift in order to fall back to Rising Sun City . When they obtained Zhao Hai’s order to retreat but didn’t see him, they became immediately worried .

It wasn’t only Besmir’s group who was worried . The people in Rising Sun City shared the same sentiment as well . Although Zhao Hai provided a spatial rift for transport, his absence made a lot of people very bothered .

Zhao Hai might have given the order for retreat, but the one who delivered it was actually an undead that was under his command . This wasn’t Zhao Hai’s usual actions, so it was not strange that people were quite anxious about the situation .

Everyone who retreated from Demon City were very worried . But fortunately, their hearts were still stable . In any case, Zhao Hai’s spatial rift have proven that he was still around . Maybe the reason for his absence was him being tied up someplace else .

Zhao Hai didn’t ride his Bone Dragon this time, instead, he just straight up appeared inside the city . When Zhao Hai came out, he was immediately spotted by some Elven Archers, who couldn’t help but cheer out loud .



Although these Elves were arrogant, they weren’t fools . When they saw Zhao Hai’s fight with the Demons, they immediately became aware of how strong he was . They also understood that without Zhao Hai, defending against the Demons would be impossible . Zhao Hai glanced at the people inside Rising Sun City . There were nearly 500 thousand people in the city, most of them were from Demon City . This made Zhao Hai feel relief . Then he turned his gaze towards the defenders on the walls and nodded as he waved his hand and summoned his undead outside the city .

This produced another round of cheers . These people couldn’t help but feel at ease upon seeing Zhao Hai . Normally, seeing undead would make them feel disgusted, but now, it seems like these undead had become much more lovable .

Zhao Hai flew down towards a nearby Dwarf and then smiled, “Brother, can you take me to the General’s residence? I have some matters to discuss . ”

The Dwarf immediately replied, “Of course, Elder, come with me . ” Then the Dwarf’s two small feet quickly led Zhao Hai towards the residence . Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile at this scene as he led Shue and Berry forward .

It didn’t take too long before they arrived in Rising Sun City’s City Lord Mansion . The City Lord’s Mansion has now become the General’s residence, Besmir and the others were here . The one with the highest authority in the City was now Besmir along with the Captains of the reinforcing armies .  But since their numbers weren’t much, Besmir still held a higher command .

When Zhao Hai arrived at the General’s residence, the guards at the gates immediately gave him a salute . Then one of them ran into the mansion without even saying anything, telling the people inside that “Mister Zhao Hai has come” . Zhao Hai was amused at the man, then he turned to the Dwarf that led him and then said, “Thank you brother . Here’s take this as gratitude . ” Then he gave the Dwarf a bottle of his distilled milk wine .

The Dwarf was ecstatic at the gift, he immediately bowed to Zhao Hai and said, “Thank you very much, Elder Zhao Hai . ” Then he turned around and ran . From his expression, it seems like he was eager to show off to his companions . Zhao Hai didn’t care much about it as he turned and walked into the General’s residence .

Just as he entered the mansion’s gate, he immediately saw Besmir, Julian, Gellar, and Barres along with several Human soldiers . The soldiers were all looking at Zhao Hai with curiosity .

Besmir led the others forward to greet Zhao Hai before giving a salute and said, “Mister, welcome back . Please follow us inside . ’

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Alright, then I’ll be impolite . By the way, how are things going on here?”

Besmir quickly replied, “Mister, everything has been completely prepared . Not only here, the others cities have settled down as well . ” Zhao Hai nodded . Then he followed the group into the mansion . The battle room was much larger than the one back in Demon City . Not only were there more maps present here, there were even some soldiers doing logistics as well as a sand table in the middle of the room .

Zhao Hai inspected the room and gave a satisfied nod and said, “This is a great room . This looks more like a battle room compared to the one in Demon City . Right, tell me the arrangements . ” Then he went towards the sand table .

Besmir and the others arrived by the table as well . Besmir beckoned to the sand table and said, “Because of the short time, I can only make this simple sand table . Along with Rising Sun City, the other cities already has troops stationed inside as well as some mobile cavalry and scouts . In order to make the battle and retreat more convenient, we asked our Dwarf brothers to dig tunnels between the cities . However, since the workload is too much, there aren’t much results yet . I believe that after Rising Sun City gets connected to the other cities, then we can act more united compared to now . Retreat and reinforcements would be carried out through those tunnels, making transport a lot less troublesome . ”
