The werewolves were not rich. Now that they had found such a good opportunity, they would not let it go. They were extremely regretful now. They regretted that they had ordered one billion catties of breadfruit from Zhao Hai. In the end, when they heard that there was going to war, they had only left 300 million catties. If they had kept the one billion catties, they would have become rich.
However, it was too late to regret now. They had also earned a small sum of money. But the one who gained the most was Atai. Not only did he officially contact the Lihu clan, but he also promoted the breadfruit, a new food. In the future, breadfruit would be very popular with the orcs.
Zhao Hai noticed the situation as well. Although he still had tens of thousands of breadfruits in his Origin space, he didn’t plan to take them out now. If he took them out now, the orcs wouldn’t attack the humans at all. Zhao Hai needed the orcs for this war.
It was not that Zhao Hai hated them, but he did not want to clean up the mess of the Church of Light. This matter was caused by the Church of Light. Although the war would cause the deaths of many civilians, those people could blame it on the Church of Light. It had nothing to do with him.
He was the enemy of the Church of Light. Moreover, he was not a Saint, so he would not help the church of Light. The beginning of this war was still very good for him.
There was nothing much to pay attention to with the orcs. Zhao Hai began to pay attention to the Versailles Duchy. Now, he was not only paying attention to the Versailles family, but also the other people in the Duchy. He wanted to see if the Church of Light had planted spies in the Duchy of Versailles, as he had imagined.
Now that the realm’s functions were extremely powerful, Zhao Hai had collected many maps of the continent. At the very least, he had a complete map of the Versailles Duchy. Hence, it was very easy for Zhao Hai to monitor the Versailles Duchy.
After two days of surveillance, Zhao Hai did find some people from the Church of Light. These people were all experts. Of course, they were not level nine experts. Level nine experts were not common. The Church of Light had trained many of them over the years, but they could not be sent out so easily.
This time, the people sent by the Church of Light were all level-eight experts, with some level-seven and level-six experts. There were quite a number of them, about two thousand of them, and among them, there were about five hundred level-eight experts. From this, one could see the strength of the Church of Light.
Other than these people, Zhao Hai also noticed that the families around the Duchy of Versailles had their own troops. If anything happened to the Duchy of Versailles, they could enter the Duchy immediately.
Zhao Hai immediately understood the situation. The Arkas Empire had no intention of letting the Versailles family off. They wanted to use the orcs to wipe the Versailles family off the continent.
Zhao Hai’s lips curled into a mocking smile. He was mocking the elders of the Versailles dukedom. They were willing to sacrifice the entire Versailles family for a small benefit.
Fortunately, there were two smart people in the Versailles family. At least Ivan and Ryan’s decision was correct. Zhao Hai also knew that the elders were not doing this for the sake of their own interests. They were doing this for the good of the Versailles family. However, they did not understand the Church of Light very well, which was why they had made such a mistake.
The elders of the Versailles family might have selfish motives, but they were no fools. They knew that they were chosen because of the Versailles family. They only had everything they had today because of the Versailles family. If the Versailles family were to disappear, they would be nothing.
The reason why the elders were against the Versailles family giving up everything to go to the island of gold was not only because they had received benefits and promises from the Church of Light, but also because they were afraid of losing everything they had now.
Once the Versailles family went to the island of gold, it would mean that they had entered the territory of the Buda family. After all, the territory of the Buda family was not the territory of the Versailles family. They could not be as casual as they were in the Versailles Duchy. For this reason, they had to desperately oppose the Versailles family going to the island of gold. Even if there was a glimmer of hope, they still hoped that the Versailles family could stay in the Versailles Duchy.
Two days later, Zhao Hai saw that Ryan and the rest were ready. Zhao Hai immediately went to the Versailles Duchy from the origin space. Many civilians had left the Duchy, and they had no choice but to leave. The food supply in the Duchy of Versailles was also facing problems. If they did not leave, they would starve to death.
However, these commoners did not have any resentment towards the Versailles family. The Versailles family treated the commoners quite well. The prices of goods in the Duchy of Versailles had always been low, and the taxes were not very high either. There were very few cases of bullying the commoners. The prices of the schools here were not very high either. Many children of the commoners could attend school. The commoners were still very supportive of the Duchy of Versailles.
Although the civilians did not know much about the higher-ups, they knew that the Arkas Empire seemed to have given up on the Duchy of Versailles, which made the civilians even more dissatisfied.
Because of Zhao Hai’s propaganda, the people of the Arkas Empire knew that the orcs had attacked the humans because of the Church of Light.
Now that the orcs had arrived, the Arkas Empire did not send any reinforcements to the vansail Duchy. This made the civilians very dissatisfied with the Arkas Empire.
Then, news came from the Duchy of Versailles. It was said that the people of the church of Light had become guests of honor in the capital of the Arkas Empire. All the nobles were respectful to them, and even the king was very polite to them.
This news was like a fuse, causing the civilians of the Versailles Duchy to hate the Arkas Empire’s royal family. The Church of Light was the one who lured the orcs to attack them, but the royal family did not deal with them. Instead, they invited them to sit as guests and did not even send them any reinforcements. This made the civilians feel like they had been abandoned.
However, the Versailles family also began to take action at this time. They sent out people from their family to organize the evacuation of the civilians, because the Versailles Duchy was about to become a battlefield.
At first, the civilians did not want to leave. However, the Versailles family persuaded them to leave. They knew that they no longer had the ability to guarantee the safety of these civilians. If they could not even guarantee the safety of their own family, how could they guarantee the safety of these civilians?
The civilians also understood that they wouldn’t be of much help even if they stayed. Those who had friends and family in other places went there to seek refuge with them, while those who didn’t have any left the Versailles Duchy.
Hence, when Zhao Hai came to Casar city again, there were not many people left. Many people had left. Zhao Hai did not think too much about it. He immediately got on a carriage and went to the Duke’s mansion.
The departure of the civilians was within Zhao Hai’s expectations. He had also paid attention to the whereabouts of the civilians. After the civilians left, the Church of Light did not make things difficult for them. The Church of Light might also know that they had been too flamboyant during this period of time. If they were to attack the civilians now, they would not be welcomed by the civilians of the entire Arkas Empire.
Seeing that the civilians were safe, Zhao Hai was relieved. Although he wanted to bring them to the black wasteland, he knew that it was too unrealistic.
Zhao Hai’s carriage entered the courtyard from the back door of the Duke’s Manor. Ivan was already waiting there. She was slowly getting used to Zhao Hai’s unpredictable appearance.
He had sent people to Kass city to look for Zhao Hai, but the result was that Zhao Hai wasn’t in the city. However, Zhao Hai would always come to Grand Duke City in a carriage the first time, but the people at the gate said they didn’t see a carriage like that. Ivan was confused, but he couldn’t do anything.
Most importantly, Zhao Hai’s appearance was always timely. He would appear at the slightest sign of trouble. Just like this time, they had just finished their preparations. Before he could inform Zhao Hai as he had instructed, he had already appeared in the Duke’s residence.
Ivan invited Zhao Hai to the living room and said, ” “Little hai, since you’ve come this time, I think you should know that we’ve prepared everything here, right?”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” that’s right. I already know that you are all prepared. I also have to tell you that there are 2000 experts from the Church of Light in the Versailles Duchy. 500 of them are level 8 experts. There are also many troops in the territories of the families around the Versailles Duchy. These troops have already gathered in large numbers. They are waiting for the vanseer family to be destroyed before they come to take over the Versailles Duchy. &Quot;
Ivan laughed at himself. &Quot; I knew it. Those bastards won’t let us go. It’s a pity that those people in the family still have hope. But fortunately, the priest agreed with me. He will take Ryan and the others with you. You will have to take care of Ryan and the others in the future. &Quot;
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of them. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll restore the Versailles family’s status.”
Ivan heaved a sigh of relief. &Quot; that will depend on them. If they are worth your help, then help them. If they are not, then just let them live their lives peacefully. &Quot;
&Quot; uncle Ivan, come with us, ” Zhao Hai said. &Quot; with you here, I believe the vanseer family will return to its former glory. &Quot;
Ivan shook his head. &Quot; no, anyone can leave but me. I’m the head of the Versailles family. If I leave, the entire family will be finished. I’d rather die in battle than leave. &Quot;
Zhao Hai sighed. He knew that there was no point in trying to persuade her.
