Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15881
Chapter 15879. Choice
Ding Chunming and the others watched the projection, which was showing the reactions of the large magical artifacts. The reactions of the large magical artifacts were different. Some large magical artifacts were accelerating forward, while others were constantly attacking their surroundings with the smaller magical artifacts on their large magical artifacts, as if they were surrounded by enemies. Some large magical artifacts were on guard and were advancing cautiously. Among all the large magical artifacts, only Zhuge Qingsong’s large magical artifact was somewhat special, because Zhuge Qingsong’s large magical artifact did not move, but simply opened all its defensive shields.
Observing the reactions of the large magical artifacts, Ding Chunming said in a deep voice, “From their reactions, we can tell what kind of people are controlling these large magical artifacts. Those who command their artifacts to charge around aimlessly are probably the easiest to deal with. Those who command their artifacts to attack from all sides are probably trying to see if they can break our formation, which is why they are acting this way.”
Cheng Wanchun nodded, then he enlarged the projection of Zhuge Qingsong’s large magical artifact and said, “This large magical artifact’s reaction is the most peculiar. It seems to be a…” “A clever fellow, and he must know something about magic arrays, so he didn’t rashly attack the other large magical artifacts. He defended first, seemingly guessing that he was inside an illusion array, which is why he didn’t move rashly.”
The Array Elder chuckled, “He does indeed understand magic arrays. He must have guessed that we’ve set up a massive magic array, which is why he’s defending. He’s probably trying to buy time, because in his understanding, a large magic array like ours requires a huge amount of energy to maintain, and we can’t keep this array running indefinitely. So he’s making their large magical artifacts move…” “They’re not moving, just maximizing their defenses. This way, their large magical artifacts will conserve more energy for combat or defense. After all, their large magical artifacts also need energy. If they fly around randomly attacking, the energy consumption will be enormous, and they won’t be able to sustain this for long. He’s definitely going to try to wear us down. It’s a pity he doesn’t understand our formation at all, otherwise, he would never have done this.” Everyone
nodded. Ding Chunming asked, “So what should we do now? Attack them directly?”
He chuckled and said, “No rush. They can’t send messages out right now. The people from those regions probably don’t know their current situation. Aren’t those guys running around and attacking randomly? Let them run. That way, their energy will be depleted even faster. Just wait and see. Anyway, they can’t escape our formation.”
Ding Chunming and Cheng Wanchun remained silent. Wen Wenhai had already said that this battle would be primarily commanded by the Formation Elder. They would only intervene when necessary. Without the Formation Elder’s orders, they couldn’t act. Therefore, they couldn’t interfere too much with what the Formation Elder did.
Seeing their expressions, Elder Zhen smiled and said, “It’s alright, they can’t escape. Let them cause trouble for a few days. Actually, if we leave them hanging for a few days, they’ll be more obedient. Sometimes, it’s the unknown that scares them the most. I’ll inform everyone in a bit, and tell them not to rush. Just treat these days as watching a show.”
Ding Chunming and Cheng Wanchun both nodded. Then, Elder Zhen sent a message to everyone, telling them his plan. After hearing Elder Zhen’s words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had been prepared for battle, and now that Elder Zhen said this, they were finally at ease.
In fact, everyone in the Heavenly Gang Earthly Fiend Formation or the Blood Killing Sect members on Thousand Machine Star could see what was happening outside. Everyone could see the projection, and if Elder Zhen wanted, he could contact everyone involved in this operation at any time, but he didn’t need to.
On the other hand, Zhuge Qingsong had been extremely cautious. Inside his large magical artifact were three kingdom-level experts. After arranging the defenses, Zhuge Qingsong sent someone to invite these experts over. These experts weren’t from the Fire God Sect; Zhuge Qingsong kept them in his artifact for easier management. That’s why they hadn’t come to see him immediately, as he didn’t want to see them at that time.
Only after he had everything arranged did he invite the experts over. When they arrived at the command hall, Zhuge Qingsong clasped his hands in a fist salute, which they quickly returned. He then said, “We’ve encountered some problems here; we’ve fallen into an enemy trap…” He then briefly explained their current situation to the three kingdom-level experts.
After he finished speaking, he explained his solution. He continued, “The reason we’re defending in place is to conserve energy and be ready for battle at any moment. Our goal is to stall the enemy, preventing their magic array from supplying energy. This is crucial for us. That’s why I haven’t allowed the magical artifacts to move recklessly. If they attack us, we’ll prioritize defense, because I’m worried that the attackers might be our own people, just transformed by the illusion array. At this point, the best approach is defense. The longer we defend, the greater our chances of stalling them. Right now, we’re testing our patience with the enemy.”
The three kingdom-level experts nodded in agreement. Frankly, they hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. It was indeed frightening. One hundred of their large magical artifacts were simultaneously trapped in a single magic array—how large must that array be? How powerful must it be? They didn’t believe that other large magical artifacts would behave as well as they did. Those large magical artifacts might be attacking, and the fact that this magic array showed no abnormalities under their attacks demonstrated its power.
Although these people weren’t skilled in magic arrays, they were all kingdom-level experts. In their long lives, they had witnessed countless things, including magic arrays. Having seen their power, they understood their terrifying nature. Therefore, how could they possibly object to Zhuge Qingsong’s suggestion?
Seeing that all three agreed, Zhuge Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief. These three were all kingdom-level experts; if they had really started causing trouble, it would have been extremely difficult. Therefore, Zhuge Qingsong valued their opinions; otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered to explain things to them.
After confirming that all three agreed to his proposal, Zhuge Qingsong said to them, “Because we are preparing for a long-term battle, we have begun to implement a rationing system for our supplies. I hope you three can understand. What do you think?”
The three exchanged glances and nodded again. One of them said, “Elder Zhuge’s arrangement is excellent. We completely agree.”
Zhuge Qingsong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then said, “I am currently having the disciples try to contact other people to see if they can. If they can, that would be best. If not, we will have to rely on ourselves. So, for the next few days, I plan to have you all take turns with me on guard duty. This way, we can react immediately to any situation. Of course, regarding the command of large magical artifacts, that’s up to you…” “Don’t worry, I’ve already made arrangements. The disciples will manage the large magical artifacts; we don’t need to worry about it.”
The three quickly responded. One elder said, “Of course. We’re all in the same large magical artifact now, so we’re all in the same group and should share everything. Of course, we three will follow Elder Zhuge’s lead. Just give us your orders. We must unite to get out of here; otherwise, we’ll be in real danger.”
The other two nodded. Zhuge Qingsong glanced at the three, then clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, “Thank you for your understanding. We’re all in the same boat now, so we must unite. I thank you for your understanding.”
The three quickly returned the salute. One elder said, “Elder Zhuge, you’re too kind. Please give the orders now.”
Zhuge Qingsong nodded, then… He glanced at the projection and then said, “I’ve been thinking, if I were the enemy, and I’ve trapped them all with a magic array, what would I do next? I have two choices: First, attack the enemies immediately, but I would first concentrate my forces on attacking one or two large magical artifacts, destroying them and killing everyone inside. This is better to cripple one finger than injure all ten; this way, I can slowly kill them all. Second, trap them for a while, letting them gradually become anxious and fearful, and then I can slowly deal with them. But there’s a problem here: if I want to trap them, the energy of my magic array must be sufficient. Otherwise, the daily consumption of the array alone will give me a huge headache. So, completely trapping the enemy is not an easy task.”
The three nodded, and one of the elders said, “Actually, the second… ” “Options one and two can be pursued simultaneously. If they only attack one or two large magical artifacts, then the other large magical artifacts will be trapped without being attacked. Only when the attack hits them directly will they realize they are under attack. I think that’s the situation now. The enemy may be attacking other large magical artifacts, but we just don’t know it.”
Zhuge Qingsong nodded and said, “That’s possible. If that’s the case, we don’t really have a good solution unless we can contact others and agree to act together. Otherwise, we can’t attack the enemy’s large formation with just one large magical artifact. So we can only defend. If everyone agrees, then let’s do what we said before and defend with all our might. What do you all think?”
The others nodded, and the matter was settled.
