First were the two Continents: the Southern Continent and the Netherwater Continent. Both of them now belonged to Qin, and no faction could do such a thing. Before, even though Qin was powerful, he did not have the power to conquer an entire Continent.
Obtaining two Continents in one go was a massive harvest, and ordinary factions would not be able to do such a thing even in their dreams.
Apart from the two Continents, there were also four billion Fish Scale people, one billion humans who had been captured, and 7,000 or so Cities.
There were one billion people and 7,000 or so Cities here, and it was possible that this was much more than that. However, from how the Fish Scale people were acting, this was already the most they could do. As such, Zhao Fu did not force them too much, as he had obtained all of this by scaring them.
However, now that he had signed a blood contract, he did not have to worry about the Fish Scale people's threat. Even if a few more cracks appeared in the Heaven Domain Boundary, he would not have to worry.
The Southern Continent now belonged to Qin, and if the Fish Scale people invaded again, the main person to defend against them would be Qin. With Qin's current strength, it would be impossible to defend against an invasion, so that was why Zhao Fu had taken the initiative to sign a blood contract.
As for the five billion people and 7,000 or so City Lords, Zhao Fu did not plan to bring them back to Qin and instead put them in the two Continents. This was because he needed factions to defend them, or else if he gathered them in the Midland Continent, it would be easy for the Midland Continent to fall.
There were one billion people in the Southern Continent, and because it was Qin who had saved them from the Fish Scale people and had experienced terrifying treatment, they were incredibly loyal to Qin.
Zhao Fu placed one billion people, one billion Fish Scale people, and 2,000 Cities. As for the remaining people and Cities, Zhao Fu placed them in the Netherwater Continent.
The human side was Qin's territory, so it was fine for them to be a bit weaker. Even if there was any danger, Qin would be able to act in time. However, the Midland Continent was much further away, so they naturally needed powerful factions to defend it.
However, Zhao Fu did not trust the Fish Scale people. Letting the Fish Scale people back into the Fish Scale world was like letting a tiger back into the mountains. Even though they were controlled by the Hidden Evil Pill, it was still quite likely that they would betray him.
Zhao Fu wanted to change their mindset and make them Qin's people instead of Fish Scale people. In the future, when they fought against Fish Scale people, they would side with Qin. Only then would Qin dare to use them.
Zhao Fu first had them learn Chinese and Great Qin's culture, slowly assimilating them. He also forbade them from interacting with other Continents. After all, they were Fish Scale people, and they would not side with Great Qin if they could talk to people from other Continents.
As such, he had to solidify their beliefs and make it so that they had no hope of returning to Fish Scale's side. Only then would they truly be loyal.
Zhao Fu also gave special treatment to those who were truly loyal to Qin. That way, they would be able to set an example. It was not just human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm; it was the nature of all living creatures. There were also many other ways to do this.
Three years was not a short period of time, and it would be enough for them to truly serve Qin. When that time came, it would be easier for Qin to take down the Fish Scale world. After all, Qin's abilities in water were not as good as the Fish Scale people's.
Now that the Southern Continent was empty, there were not many people or Cities, so there was no need to clear it out. They could directly build a Great Wall and make this region Qin's territory.
As for the Netherwater Continent, almost all of the factions had retreated, but there were still some small Villages, so they still needed to be cleared out.
There were not many of these Villages left, so it would be quite easy to clear them out. Of course, he could not hand them all over to the Fish Scale people, so Zhao Fu planned to have Wang Jian lead 100 million soldiers to defend that region and set up a large number of restrictions in that region.
With the Blood Contract, the Hidden Evil Pill, and Wang Jian there, there would not be much to worry about in the Fish Scale world.
In the end, he just needed to properly develop the second Continent, which was the Darkwater Continent, and unify the entire continent. That would be perfect.
Thinking about that, Zhao Fu gave a pleased smile. After taking care of these matters, Zhao Fu returned to Qin City. By now, many human factions had sent over congratulatory letters. Even though Qin City was not helping them, he had still dealt with the Fish Scale people's invasion.
Zhao Fu threw all of these letters to Li Si. He was not interested in reading them, and he could guess some of their contents. They were all praises and praises.
A while later, Li Si brought 20 letters over to Zhao Fu and said, "Your Majesty, these letters ask if you will return the Southern Continent that you have conquered to them. That was their territory in the first place, and they are willing to compensate Qin City if you can leave."
"Eh?"
Zhao Fu wondered if he had heard incorrectly; these people wanted him to return those regions to them? Were they stupid?
Back when the Fish Scale world had invaded, they had abandoned the Southern Continent and moved to another Continent, allowing the Fish Scale people to occupy it. Now, they had the nerve to say that it was their territory. Now that Qin City had taken it back, even though it was not too difficult, it was impossible for them to just hand it over.
Moreover, how could Zhao Fu be interested in compensation? After all, what kind of compensation could compare to a Continent? Zhao Fu coldly laughed as he said, "If they want it, they can come and take it themselves. However, whether or not we give it to them is another matter. Also, if they choose to submit, those regions will be theirs; there is nothing to discuss. Qin City only has one principle: submit or perish."
Hearing this, Li Si hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the Southern Continent originally had 20,000 or so Cities, and they moved to other Continents. If they join the rebellion against Qin City in order to take over the Southern Continent, they will be a great threat to Qin City."
Thinking about that, Zhao Fu felt quite startled and said, "That's quite possible. 20,000 or so Cities are a great threat to Qin City, and it won't be easy to deal with them. The methods used to deal with the Fish Scale people won't work against them."
However, they did not dare to do anything right now, because Qin had just forced the Fish Scale people into retreat. They were not very clear on the methods used against the Fish Scale people, so they were definitely afraid that Qin would use those methods against them.
Although it seemed like Qin's strength had increased, the situation had not stabilized yet. He had not digested those people and Cities yet, and if they attacked, it would be quite difficult for Qin City to deal with them.
It seemed that only by quickly digesting those people and making Qin City more powerful would he not have to fear them invading.
