Due to the current shortage of black gold divine armor and firearms, only these one hundred thousand black gold armored soldiers can follow Li Xuan into underwater combat.
Just as Li Xuan's vast army was arriving, the Dragon King Ao Shenghai's jurisdiction of several millions of soldiers also gradually arrived.
The number of this underwater army notably reached five point eight million, much more than Li Xuan had anticipated.
This was because the East Sea Dragon Palace and the Fusang Gods had further mobilized and increased their troops a few days earlier.
Especially the Fusang Gods, who had felt the chill of the sweep of Kunpeng across Nanyang, thus they did not feign compliance and dismissal like before.
Afterward, Li Xuan blocked several strategic underwater points, and built massive defensive structures below the sea, creating layers of ice walls in preparation, with a three-tier defense system.
