Chapter 959 - Test Attack

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

“Alright, everyone calm down. Even though the people from the Midland Continent cannot come, our task is still to defend against the Fish Scale world’s invasion,” Akhenaten said, seeing the scene become more and more raucous, .

Only then did everyone calm down and remember that they still had to face the Fish Scale world. Their expressions became grim again, and the scene quietened down.

Akhenaten looked at the people in front of him and inwardly sighed. He did not feel much confidence in these people stopping the Fish Scale world’s invasion.

The Legatees were their main force, especially Tina Pendragon, who had established a Kingdom. This was the second Kingdom of the human world, and it had the strength of a true Kingdom. It was not something that an ordinary faction could fight with.

“How should we move? We still have our poison island for our defenses, which gives us an advantage. However, I’m guessing that since the Fish Scale world dares to invade, they most likely have countermeasures,” Akhenaten said as he looked at everyone.

However, no one had any good ideas except just defending. This was because they had no idea what the Fish Scale world was going to do.

Also present were the elites and strategists from the four Continents, and they started to make various preparations, such as destroying the poison island to release poisoned water.

The poison island spanned a few hundred regions, and there were two billion people present from player factions. The Southern Continent’s system factions had also contributed quite a bit, bringing two billion Stage 1 soldiers and 20,000 or so City Lords.

They had no other choice; they would either all live or die together. If they could resolve this by themselves, they definitely would not work together with players.

One week later, it was a sunny day with a blue sky and a few clouds. There were two billion people standing on the poison island, forming a majestic defensive line. The Fish Scale world’s forces had also made preparations, and they slowly made their way towards the poison island.

The two armies faced off against each other, each of them giving off a powerful aura, causing their surroundings to tremble. All of the aquatic creatures and monsters all ran away after sensing these two armies’ auras.

The City Lords of the two sides stood in the air. Because Akhenaten’s faction was the largest in the Southern Continent and he was the most powerful Dynasty Legatee from the Southern Continent, he was the leader for now.

At that moment, Akhenaten said loudly in a courteous tone, “People from the Fish Scale world, our human world has no thoughts of offending you. You live in the water and we live on land, so we would not be able to live in your world anyways; there’s no need to worry about us invading you.

“I’m sure that you don’t enjoy living on land! There is not much reason for this battle, and it will lead to great losses for both sides. Let us sign a peace treaty to maintain the peace in both of our worlds. In fact, at times we can even ally together because our common enemies are the worlds before us.”

There were eight billion Fish Scale people participating in this invasion, which was double the numbers of the human side. Moreover, almost all of them were players, so even if they died, they would not die true deaths. However, once the humans died, they would remain dead.

Akhenaten did not want to fight this battle at all because they were at a great disadvantage and there were no benefits to it at all. If they could resolve this peacefully, that would be the ideal situation.

The Fish Scale players looked at the humans mockingly. They had an overwhelming advantage, so they did not care about what the humans had to say; destroying them would mean that they had nothing to worry about in the future.

The main thing was that they would not die true deaths, so they could fearlessly attack while the other side could not. This was a battle they were bound to win, so why wouldn’t they attack?

Even though they indeed did not like living on land, taking over the human world would still provide them with massive benefits. They could turn countless cities into Fish Scale cities, and with the power of two worlds, why would they fear the world before theirs?

“You humans are so weak. Great Qin’s Legatee did not come, so let’s see how you can resist against us. If you are willing to submit to the Fish Scale world, we can promise to keep you as the highest grade of slaves,” a Legatee from the Fish Scale world replied as he loudly laughed.

Akhenaten felt quite furious; he had spoken so courteously, yet the other side had been so condescending. It seemed that this battle was inevitable.

When he thought of this, Akhenaten did not hesitate anymore and gave the order to attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom…

Wooden buckets were thrown out and exploded into the water, causing poison that gave off a foul stench to spread out, dyeing the water green. This was the poison prepared by the humans; it was not only incredibly toxic but could enter through one’s skin.

Moreover, the poison spread quickly, and if tossed into a group of Fish Scale people, many of them would quickly die. This sudden attack would most likely obtain good results.

However, the humans were all disappointed – not a single Fish Scale person in the green water was harmed. The Fish Scale players were initially shocked, but after finding that it was a poison attack, they could not help but laugh.

Last time, they had failed and paid a heavy price in casualties because of the poison, so they had taken special steps this time. They now all had Poison-Repelling Pearls that could ward off poisons, Body-Protection Pearls that could prevent poisons from entering their bodies, and even Antidote Pills that they had eaten in advance to increase their immunity to poisons.

It was evident just how seriously the Fish Scale people were taking this, with their three layers of defence. They absolutely would not fall victim to poison again, and because of this, they were no longer afraid of the poison island.

The Fish Scale side also gave the order to advance. The Fish Scale people swam towards the poison island like a massive tide, giving off an aura of absolute destruction.

Despite their attack failing, the human side was not too disappointed, because they had expected the Fish Scale people to come prepared. This first attack was merely a test attack.

Even though there were many Fish Scale people, the human side had quite a big advantage as well. Firstly, they were battling on the ground, which reduced the Fish Scale people’s battle power, and many of their military professions lost their effects when on the ground, such as their three Cavalries.

Boom! Boom! Boom…

Countless wooden barrels were once again thrown out and exploded. The Fish Scale people thought that it was still poison, but their expressions quickly changed – what was inside the barrels was white powder, which gave off a bone-chilling coldness.

The surface of the water instantly froze, and those who were close to the barrels were quickly frozen.

This powder was Ice Powder, the most important item for creating the poison island. It could quickly form ice, and its effects were the best in water.
