Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15873
Chapter 15871. Discussion
The people from the other regions all nodded in agreement after hearing Zheng Heng’s words, finding some merit in his argument. Yuanjue didn’t feel Zheng Heng was disrespecting him; on the contrary, he was somewhat pleased. Zheng Heng was worried about insufficient troops, which meant he needed to increase them—a good thing for them. His previous suggestion of two hundred kingdom-level experts stemmed from his concern that sending too many troops would cause dissatisfaction from the other regions. Now, Zheng Heng’s suggestion was even more advantageous.
Yuanjue smiled and asked, “Then, Benefactor Zheng, how many people do you think we should send?”
Zheng Heng glanced at the people from the other regions and then said, “I think doubling it would be just right.”
Everyone was taken aback by his suggestion, and then they began to discuss it.
Yuanjue hadn’t expected Zheng Heng to start by mentioning a generation. He looked at Zheng Heng and then asked, “Could you please explain in detail, Benefactor Zheng?”
Zheng Heng nodded and stood up. Yuanjue smiled slightly and returned to his seat, offering his place to Zheng Heng.
Zheng Heng took his seat, glanced at everyone, and then said, “As you all know, the purpose of our operation this time is to destroy the Hell Gate and the sects within its domain, and incidentally, to wipe out all the sects in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace domain as well. This way, our domains can gain control of those two domains. However, the Hell Gate domain is not weak, and although the Nine Yang Immortal Palace is gone, the other sects still exist. It won’t be easy for the Hell Gate to destroy all the sects in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace domain in a short time. Therefore, I think the Hell Gate is probably still entangled with the sects in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace domain, but the Hell Gate army has the upper hand. They can attack and retreat as they please. Once we attack the Hell Gate domain, their army will likely withdraw immediately. If their army withdraws, their strength will certainly not be weak, and their numbers will not be small. If we send too few people, it will be difficult to conquer the Hell Gate domain.” “The Gate Domain is no easy task. Don’t forget, it’s their territory. And the Prajna Temple attacked them once before. I don’t believe the Gate Domain is completely unprepared. If they are, and we send fewer people, taking over the Gate Domain will be even more impossible. Even if the Gate Domain suffered some losses attacking the Nine Yang Immortal Palace Domain, they can still muster over a hundred Kingdom-level experts, right? Even if they only have a hundred Kingdom-level experts, can we wipe them out if we send two hundred?” Hearing
Zheng Heng’s words, everyone shook their heads. One Kingdom-level expert facing two Kingdom-level experts might be at a disadvantage, but for those two Kingdom-level experts, killing one wouldn’t be easy either. The Kingdom-level expert could escape, and every Kingdom-level expert has some survival skills. If they escape, how can you deal with them? If we let a kingdom-level expert escape, they will stop at nothing to deal with us in the future, making it even more difficult to deal with other kingdom-level experts.
Zheng Heng looked at everyone’s expressions and continued, “If we can’t have a numerical advantage, we won’t be able to eliminate their kingdom-level experts, and our losses might be even greater. We might as well establish an absolute numerical advantage from the very beginning and wipe them out in one fell swoop. Even if we can’t eliminate them all, we must ensure an absolute numerical advantage. This will make dealing with them much easier and reduce casualties. Therefore, I think we must not deploy too few troops at the very beginning.”
Everyone nodded, and a rough voice rang out, “That’s right, I agree!” “Alright, from the very beginning, we can’t afford to deploy too few troops. If we’re going to fight, we should fight to the death. We’re going to wipe them out, so there’s no need to hold back. Besides, dealing with a bunch of guys without going all out will only make things more complicated in the end. So, I agree with sending more people.”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. The speaker was a burly man who looked to be about two meters tall. He had bronze skin, short hair, a square face, two large rings on his cheeks, and a full beard. He wore a chainmail vest, baggy trousers, and boots. Just sitting there, he exuded a powerful aura.
This person is the representative of the Bronze Man Sect, surnamed Fan, named Fan Huajin. He is very strong. The Bronze Man Sect is a body cultivation sect. The fact that a body cultivation sect can become the most powerful sect in the Bronze Man Domain shows that their sect has its own unique methods and their strength is extremely powerful. It can be said that the Bronze Man Sect’s status in the Bronze Man Domain is even higher than that of the Fire God Sect in the Fire God Domain.
After listening to Fan Huajin’s words, everyone nodded in agreement. Seeing that everyone agreed, Zheng Heng continued, “We’ll double our troop strength, meaning we’ll send four hundred kingdom-level experts. That should be enough to deal with the Hell Gate region. Most importantly, sending eighty kingdom-level experts from each of our domains won’t have a significant impact on our respective domains; we still have sufficient ability to protect ourselves. Therefore, I believe doubling the number of troops is a very reasonable figure.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Zheng Heng returned to his seat, and Yuanjue once again walked to the center. He glanced at everyone and then… He began, “Since this operation is a coalition effort, we can discuss everything. We also need to discuss the number of troops to be deployed. How about we vote by raising our hands? Those who agree to double the number of troops, please raise your hands.” He raised his hand first, followed by Zheng Heng and the others, representatives from the other three sects, and even the representatives from the smaller sects. In reality, it wouldn’t matter if the smaller sects didn’t raise their hands; if the five major sects agreed, their opposition was futile. They might even be dealt with by the five major sects. Therefore, the smaller sects dared not object.
Upon seeing this, Yuanjue couldn’t help but smile. He lowered his hand and said, “Alright, it’s good that everyone agrees. Then it’s settled. This time, we will send four hundred kingdom-level experts, ten thousand royal city-level experts, and two hundred thousand royal palace-level experts. Each region will send twenty large magical artifacts. If everyone has no objections, then this matter is settled.” Everyone
shook their heads and remained silent. Yuanjue then continued, “Alright, let’s talk about the next matter, which is the command issue. How to command such a large army, especially one full of experts, is a big problem. Everyone can speak their minds.” “I think
joint command is best.” The voice was loud, and the tone seemed to carry a hint of domineering. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that the speaker was a man dressed in a black warrior’s outfit. He looked to be over forty years old, tall, and although not as tall as Fan Huajin, he was still imposing and not to be underestimated.
His appearance was imposing. He had dark skin, his hair was tied back, and a long beard flowed down his chest. He had a square face and very beautiful eyes. Anyone who saw him would call him a handsome man. But his beauty wasn’t effeminate; it was a domineering beauty, a tough, masculine beauty.
Although he was sitting there, his whole being was like a large sword. Even though the sword wasn’t drawn, it always exuded a subtle killing intent.
This man was named Song Xing, the representative of the Overlord Blade Sect. The members of the Overlord Blade Sect were skilled in using a long sword. This long sword was quite special. It was nearly four feet long, with a wide and thick blade, but it was a straight sword with a sharp, slanted tip. This kind of sword was called the Overlord Blade, and the Overlord Blade Sect got its name from it. Yuanjue
looked at Song Xing, then smiled slightly and said, “Please, Benefactor Song, explain in detail.” After saying that, he returned to his chair, giving his seat to Song Xing.
Song Xing didn’t stand on ceremony. He stood up and walked to the center of the field. He glanced at everyone and then said, “The so-called joint command means that we won’t have a supreme commander. Each domain will be commanded by itself. If we need to coordinate an operation, we’ll discuss the battle plan together, and then the five sects will vote to decide. It’s perfect that the five sects are voting, so there’s no need to worry about a tie. But let me make this clear: before the vote, everyone can discuss things however they want, even argue. But after the vote, everyone must obey the orders. If anyone dares to disobey the orders after the decision is made, the other domains will attack them together.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then they all nodded. This time, the five domains were going to coordinate an operation, but the people of the five domains were very clear that they wouldn’t trust themselves to be commanded by any of the other domains. Therefore, it was better for each domain to command independently.
However, this approach also presents a problem: a lack of unified action. If this were to occur, it would be extremely dangerous for them, potentially giving the Hell Gate members an opportunity to counterattack. Therefore, unified command is essential.
Each domain doesn’t want to be commanded by others, yet they desire unified action; this presents a significant contradiction, and resolving it is no easy task.
Song Xing’s suggestion, however, is excellent. Everyone should work together to develop a plan before action, then vote on it. The plan with the most votes will proceed accordingly. Song Xing also stated that they can discuss the matter beforehand, but once a decision is made, each domain must implement it. If any domain dares to disobey, the others can attack them together, eliminating concerns about any domain feigning compliance.
