Everyone had been filled with battle intent as they set off to defend against and invade the Fish Scale world.
However, they had now returned dispiritedly, dealing a great blow to everyone's morale. They started to doubt whether this was right or wrong, and those who had not done anything before started to mock them.
"Didn't you say that the situation was dire? Is the human world going to suffer a massive disaster? What a big fuss. Did anything happen? Nothing happened at all. Why do you think that the other side is as greedy and selfish as humans? "
"You've all made a big mistake this time. So many people rushed over, not only did it waste a lot of time and effort, but it also affected the image of us humans. You've lost face for us humans, and others will think that we're unreasonable boorish people!"
"That's right! I hate these idiots the most. Just because someone casually said something, they just ran over and blindly believed everything. Luckily I was smart and didn't go. Now, the truth is that the other side didn't attack us! Hahaha … "
"I demand that those who went to the boundary apologise. This will affect the image of us humans too much, and it might cause a huge battle. If they don't apologise and a huge battle breaks out, they'll have to take responsibility."
"In actuality, those Legatees are too cowardly. The main reason was that those inheritors were too cowardly. We humans are the wisest of all creatures, so why would we be afraid of others? We humans have the strength to defend against everything; I have absolute confidence in that. However, those Legatees have lost face for us humans. "
…
The people who said these things were mostly people who lived the most comfortable lives. They had plenty of resources and did not have much to worry about. Hearing these people say these things, the people who had participated in the battle could not refute them, and it was as if they had done something wrong.
Before, 70% of the people wanted to fight, 20% were pacifists, and the remaining 10% were just spectators.
However, after a month of peace, only 30% of the people wanted to fight remained, 40% were pacifists, and 30% were indifferent.
The most active were, of course, the pacifists. They raised flags everywhere, saying that they wanted Legatee Qin's Legatee to go and apologize. Since they were Legatees, they should accept responsibility and that they had the right to make them apologize.
After all, the world belonged to them, and they wanted freedom and democracy. Everyone had their own rights, and they could not allow anyone to destroy those rights.
No one or a few people could represent them. Since they had done something wrong, they should go and apologize. Otherwise, they would not be fit to be Legatees and would continue to lose face for the entire human race. Everyone, please courageously stand up and resist these ruthless people.
This made the Legatees feel incredibly angry, and Oleg directly announced that he would not care about this anymore. Geoffrey patiently explained to everyone. Geoffrey's Legatee's Legatee and Legatee's Legatee was not too angry.
Akhenaten felt quite complicated and did not know how to deal with all of this. So much time had passed, and he did not know if the other side had invaded or not. However, he did not want to cause any trouble and just wanted the Pharaoh Kingdom to develop peacefully.
Zhao Fu was so angry that he could not say anything, and he did not care about these things anymore. He stayed within Great Qin and focused on developing weapons that countered the Fish Scale people.
At the same time, Zhao Fu was also training the soldiers' ability to fight underwater. He didn't want them to be useless underwater and be unable to use their powerful cultivation.
Time continued to pass day by day. In the blink of an eye, it was almost the New Year. More than two months had passed since the appearance of the Great Southern Rift.
Things gradually calmed down, and people did not pay too much attention to the situation at the southern boundary. The pacifists did not make any more ruckus, and they turned their attention to other matters. It had been two months, and perhaps the Fish Scale people would not invade the human world.
…
During these two months, Qin City continued to develop steadily and quickly. During these two months, Qin City had already cleared out 15 regions, and it now controlled 123 regions. During this period of time, another 21 system main cities were unable to resist and chose to join Qin City.
Now that the natural disaster had been raging for almost a year, there was a shortage of food. Because of the impact of the natural disaster, there was almost no harvest.
Food, which was originally so cheap that almost no one wanted it, had now become an important resource. With the shortage of resources, the outbreak of conflict became even more intense.
Under starvation, even a group of good citizens would become rioters and start to steal from each other, making the situation even more chaotic than before.
Zhao Fu did not care about these things and continued to research weapons to deal with the Fish Scale people. By now, Zhao Fu had already made up his mind that even if the Fish Scale people did not invade, Zhao Fu would still attack for the Capital City and other rewards.
Because they were not from the same race, Zhao Fu did not trust them at all. As such, he had to deal with them. Even if they were not in danger now, who knew what would happen in the future?
When dealing with the Fish Scale people, Zhao Fu likened them to a school of fish. Fish were aquatic creatures, so they were quite similar to other aquatic races.
Zhao Fu wanted to use the same method to deal with fish to deal with the Fish Scale people. If people wanted to catch fish, some would use fishing nets, some would use their hands, and some would use harpoons.
Of course, this was not possible – the Fish Scale people were not real fish, so these methods were not suitable for them. Zhao Fu used a large-scale method, which was to catch large groups of fish, such as fishing nets, poison, and mines.
These three methods were the most common methods of catching large groups of fish. However, because the situation was different, Zhao Fu made some changes.
For example, Zhao Fu used the Silver grade metal that Qin had spent a lot of effort to obtain, as well as a special material to create it. Ordinary Stage 1 soldiers and below would not be able to cut through it, and if many Stage 1 soldiers sent their cultivation power into it, even Stage 2 soldiers would not be able to escape.
The second method was to use poison. This method was very rarely used, as just a few vials of poison could kill all of the creatures in a river. This was simply too immoral, so not many people saw it, and it was strictly forbidden.
Zhao Fu ordered people to gather a massive amount of poison from all over China. At that moment, the other treasure that Zhao Fu had obtained was put to use, which was the Ten Thousand Poison Divine Cauldron that he had obtained from killing the purple-scaled python.
This cauldron could refine all kinds of poisons, and it could also release the greatest toxicity. The cauldron itself could also evolve through refining poisons, and it was a treasure with growth potential.
A single drop of poison that could kill hundreds of people was brought over by Zhao Fu and poured into the Ten Thousand Poison Divine Cauldron before refining a few drops.
