The reason Zhao Fu had come here by himself was because he wanted to obtain accurate information about the Fish Scale people. He did not want to send his soldiers ahead of time, as they did not know much yet. If he sent his soldiers over and billions of enemies invaded, it was possible that all of Zhao Fu's soldiers would be wiped out.
He could not afford to be careless in such a world-class battle, and Zhao Fu would not joke around with his soldiers' lives. There were still many people who had not arrived yet, so it would take some time.
However, some people from the Southern Continent had already arrived and started to build defensive walls. They were mainly made from massive trees, rocks, and clay, and they were quite simple and quick.
Zhao Fu turned into a ray of light and flew into the Fish Scale world. Looking at the boundless ocean, Zhao Fu unleashed his Emperor's Domain and dove into the water.
He felt that the Fish Scale people were quite easy to attack, as they lived in the water and did not have many defensive walls. If they built defensive walls, they would be able to swim over without any obstructions.
Soon, Zhao Fu found a Wilderness Village that lived near a group of reefs. Zhao Fu found that the Fish Scale people here all chose to rely on certain things to protect themselves. Some relied on reefs, while others relied on underwater mountains.
Using natural objects as cover, they did not need to build defensive walls. However, attacking them would be quite troublesome, as they could not only use reefs to attack, but they could also use reefs and mountains to hide.
The Fish Scale people were not as easy to deal with as they had imagined, and attacking them would be quite troublesome. First, there was the problem of water. Humans could not breathe underwater, and while they could swim and dive, they could not fight underwater unless they had items that could breathe underwater.
After looking around for a while, Zhao Fu did not see any signs of an army coming. It seemed that the Fish Scale people were also making preparations.
After not finding anything else, Zhao Fu returned to the human world. Time gradually passed, and more and more people gathered. Soon, there were 100 million people.
Apart from the players, there were also the system main city residents. Zhao Fu wanted to pull the system main city residents in as well, but none of them were willing to participate. They felt that with the players blocking them, they would not act unless it was truly dangerous.
This was not Zhao Fu's home field, so Zhao Fu couldn't say or do anything. After returning to Qin City, Zhao Fu ordered people to make the Water Pearl.
Water Pearls were treasures on the market that could allow one to breathe underwater, and they cost 10 silver coins each. Following the events in the Fish Scale world, the price of Water Pearls quickly increased, and it was now 15 silver coins each. Zhao Fu felt that it was too troublesome, so he obtained a blueprint and gave it to Bai Shan and the others to create it.
Apart from the Water Spirit Pearl, he also needed a large number of boats. Although he could breathe underwater, he still needed a place where he could stand to facilitate transportation, gathering, and replenishment.
This was the preparation for the attack. The defensive preparations had already been made, so there was no need to worry.
Half a month later, both offensive and defensive preparations had been completed.
300 million people had gathered at the Southern Continent's boundary, and the defensive wall was completed. It was 12 meters tall and six meters wide, and it was quite shocking to see such a wall being built in such a short period of time.
Most of the people gathered here were from the Southern Continent, and various leaders had gathered, forming an alliance of thousands of people. Akhenaten's people trusted him and felt that he was more useful than Zhao Fu, so he was appointed as the commander of the alliance. As an outsider, Zhao Fu was pushed to the sidelines.
It wasn't just Zhao Fu; the other Legatees were also pushed aside. Apart from the fact that they were outsiders, they did not bring many people.
Tina Pendragon brought 100,000 people, Si Ji brought 80,000 people, Geoffrey brought 90,000 people, Masanori Hano brought 70,000 people, and Zhao Fu brought the most people with 120,000 people.
It wasn't that they didn't want to send more people; it was just that crossing an entire Continent was no simple matter. Zhao Fu's 120,000 soldiers had all been continuously teleported over using Trans-Boundary Teleportation Channels. Compared to 300 million people, 100,000 or so soldiers was not much at all.
As such, many of the factions in the Southern Continent looked down on them. Adding on the fact that they were outsiders, they were naturally pushed aside.
Zhao Fu did not mind too much. He did not want to use his full strength this time, and he wanted to see the Fish Scale people's strength first. This was just a test.
After so much time had passed, the human side had finished their preparations, but the Fish Scale people had not reacted at all.
Another half a month passed, and now, they had waited for more than a month, but the Fish Scale people still had not reacted.
By now, some people were starting to feel dissatisfied; they couldn't just waste so many people here.
Zhao Fu wanted to take the initiative to attack and test the situation, but he did not have much authority here. Zhao Fu would not send his 120,000 soldiers, because if there was any danger, they would all be wiped out.
Akhenaten had also thought about taking the initiative to invade, but because of the urgency of the situation, at least 80% of the Fish Scale people had not prepared any means of invading. They had not prepared a large number of ships or items that could breathe underwater, and they also needed the ability to swim and fight underwater.
As such, many people were not willing to invade. Not only were they not prepared, but the risks were also quite high. Even though the rewards were quite good, it was not enough for them to risk everything.
A few more days passed, and the dissatisfaction reached its peak. Some people started to say that Zhao Fu and the other Legatees were making too much of a fuss about nothing and that the other side did not have any intentions of attacking the human world. It was Zhao Fu and the other Legatees who were too cowardly and often thought that the other side would harm the human world.
As the World Protector, Zhao Fu was the most important person in the world, so he was naturally criticized the most.
The other Legatees felt quite angry and left one after another. In the end, only Tina Pendragon and Geoffrey remained. Zhao Fu was also quite angry, but he still stayed.
Another three days passed, and some people cursed and left. Now that things had started, many people also chose to leave. They had already spent more than a month here, and no one wanted to waste any more time like this. In the end, they could only leave.
In the end, there were only three million soldiers left on the defensive wall. The various factions left some people behind to stand guard before returning to their own bases.
Seeing that there were only so few people left, Zhao Fu could only helplessly return to Qin City with his soldiers. He felt quite confused as to why the Fish Scale people had not invaded yet; were they waiting for the human world to invade?
However, very few people in the human world had experience fighting underwater, and Qin City was the same. They only had experience fighting on land, and they did not know anything about the other side. They did not want to take the risk and were afraid of suffering heavy casualties, so they naturally would not attack.
