In fact, there were also fifteen to sixteen hundred city lords from the Central Continent who joined Si Ji's alliance and became part of their faction. Si Ji's side naturally welcomed them warmly, but not a single person chose to join Great Qin. Scheme Against Qin's venomous plot had indeed caused Great Qin to lose the hearts of the people completely.
Even though Great Qin possessed sufficiently overwhelming advantages, they still refused to come. On one hand, they despised Great Qin and disdained such a vile, disgusting faction; on the other, having already offended Great Qin, they did not dare choose it either.
Some even blamed this defeat on Great Qin. If Great Qin had been willing to help, the outcome would not have been like this. The denunciations against Great Qin only grew more ferocious.
Countless factions from the Southern Continent migrated away, nearly all of them player factions and system cities. They escaped and preserved their lives, but the wilderness villages were not so fortunate. These countless villages were also Fish Scale World's second target.
They charged directly into those villages and seized anything they found. As long as it had even a shred of value, they took it. Anyone who resisted was killed outright, while those who did not resist could be made into slaves, depending on whether anyone wished to buy them.
Now that the Southern Continent was on the verge of being occupied, they no longer needed to hurry. They slowly stripped the Southern Continent of everything—resources, population, all of it seized and brought back to Fish Scale World.
However, humans could not breathe underwater. Those buying slaves here needed to purchase some underwater-breathing items.
The cities of Fish Scale World not only possessed a power that kept out water, but also came with gravity.
