Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16333

Chapter 16331. Chapter 16331 confirmed.

“Third, the size of the area is also very important. We should try to find some large sects or large cities, because that is our base. We will send people there. If the area is too small, where will our people live? Moreover, if the area is too small, it will be almost impossible to upgrade the defensive array. So the area cannot be too small.”

“Fourth, are the earth veins or water veins sufficient? We are going to fight the enemy, and the pressure on the defensive array will be enormous. If the power of the earth veins or water veins is insufficient, it will be impossible to support a large enough array. If there is no large enough array, it will be very troublesome to block the enemy’s attack. Therefore, the power of the earth veins and water veins must also be taken into account. Take all these points into account before choosing a location.”

Everyone responded in unison, and then they stared at the map again. Gongliang Juewen then spoke up: “Let’s talk about which places must be abandoned. All the abandoned places can have their flags removed. It will be clearer that way.” The two eunuchs responded, and everyone began to point at the map. Many small cities and sects were abandoned. The flags on the map began to decrease rapidly, and in the end, there were less than a thousand flags left on the map. The locations of these flags were all very important.

These small flags weren’t in a straight line; they had depth. This was the arrangement of those chosen. Now they felt they couldn’t reduce them any further; if they did, their defenses might be breached. So they all fell silent, frowning as they stared at the map.

Gongliang Juewen, observing their expressions, continued, “Does everyone agree that there’s no way to reduce them any further? If so, then we’ll confirm these locations as our bases.”

After a brief discussion, everyone agreed to make those locations their bases. Gongliang Juewen then began discussing the matter, having the Zhenyu Sect lead, along with the Lu family, a family renowned for their magical arrays, and the Jiangzuojian (actually called the Craftsmen’s Workshop, but for a better sound). They specialized in crafting and setting up magical arrays, but they only served the royal family.

Gongliang Juewen instructed the three families to cooperate and quickly compile a list of resources to strengthen the bases’ defenses.

After arranging this matter, Gongliang Juewen began to assign each group how much supplies they should contribute. Whether it was a powerful family or a sect, everyone had to contribute supplies at this time; it was wartime, and Gongliang Juewen certainly wouldn’t be polite.

Once the amount of supplies and soldiers each group should contribute, and the relocation responsibilities of each family, were determined, everyone left.

After everyone had left, Gongliang Juewen summoned General Sun to his study. Once they sat down, Gongliang Juewen said to General Sun, “Do you think our current arrangement is good? This arrangement is truly without reservation, which is most beneficial to the current situation, but it’s not good for the sects.” General Sun said,

“Tell Elder Chang about our arrangement and hear what he has to say.”

Gongliang Juewen was taken aback, then nodded, and immediately sent a message to General Chang. The call connected quickly, and Chang Jun appeared before the two men. They bowed to him, and Chang Jun returned the bow, then asked, “What is it?”

Gongliang Juewen recounted the contents of their meeting that day. After listening, Chang Jun nodded and said, “Good, very good. Arrange it this way; that way they won’t suspect you.”

Gongliang Juewen responded, then asked, “Elder Chang, will this arrangement have any impact on the sect?”

Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen’s question, Chang Jun… He couldn’t help but laugh heartily, saying, “It has no impact whatsoever. You did a great job. This matter has absolutely no effect on the sect.”

Hearing Chang Jun say this, Gongliang Juewen was finally relieved. Chang Jun looked at Gongliang Juewen and continued, “Remember this: you are now the emperor and generals of the Divine Kingdom. Everything you do must be for the benefit of the Divine Kingdom. Just tell me your final decision. As for the rest, do what you need to do. Don’t worry about the sect.”

Gongliang Juewen then responded, and then they… After the call ended and they hung up, Gongliang Juewen turned to look at General Sun and said, “It seems the sect really doesn’t take our arrangements seriously.”

General Sun nodded, then sighed softly and said, “To be honest, I actually wanted to use this opportunity to let the sect see our strength, to let the sect members know how capable we are. The more impressive our arrangements are, the more the sect will think highly of us. But now it seems the effect isn’t very good; the sect doesn’t care about our arrangements at all.”

Gongliang Juewen gave a wry smile and said, “You should know the strength of the sect. With the sect’s strength, do you think they’d care about our arrangements?”

General Sun smiled wryly, then let out a long sigh and said, “It seems that once we’re in the sect, we’ll only be ordinary elders. That’s fine, then we’ll have more time to cultivate.”

Hearing this, Gongliang Juewen simply smiled slightly and didn’t say anything. To be honest, he didn’t have much interest in being an ordinary elder. Frankly, he was really tired of being an emperor, constantly having to outwit the aristocratic families, sects, the Creation God Sect, and the military. This kind of life was truly unbearable, and he had long since wanted to escape it.

However, he couldn’t change anything because he couldn’t back down. He knew very well that if he did, the entire Gongliang family would suffer. The Gongliang family had many members; if they really fell, it wouldn’t just be him who died. Therefore, he couldn’t back down.

It’s important to understand that the struggles within the Divine Kingdom are completely different from those within the Blood Slaughter Sect. The Blood Slaughter Sect’s disciples can be resurrected, and there’s little internal conflict within the sect. However, the struggles within the Divine Kingdom are truly life-or-death battles. If the Gongliang family were to lose in these struggles, the entire family would likely perish.

Although the Gongliang family is considered a powerful clan, the moment they became royalty, an insurmountable chasm separated them from the other powerful clans. They were now enemies, no longer allies.

This is why Gongliang Juewen cannot retreat; retreat means death. He must fight, he must struggle—there’s no other way.

But he’s long since had enough of this kind of life. For him, it would be much better to live a peaceful life as an ordinary elder, free from worries about family affairs and other matters.

After a brief conversation, General Li departed. Gongliang Juewen went to the window, opened it, and gazed at the sky. After a long while, he sighed softly, closed the window, and returned to his study to work on the documents at hand.

Meanwhile, Qingxuan and the others dispersed immediately after returning. They needed to make arrangements: relocating ordinary people to the rear, sending troops to the front lines, and preparing supplies. They had to handle everything as quickly as possible. Most importantly, many small sects along the Qianhe Mountain line also needed to be relocated to the rear. After all, only a few hundred relatively large sects remained at the front lines; the rest of the smaller sects had to be moved to the rear.

There were also various supplies and personnel to allocate. They would be busy for some time, as the enemy they faced this time was not simple and could not be easily dealt with.

The situation was similar for the aristocratic families. The people in those small towns had to be relocated, and they also needed to allocate manpower and supplies. All of this required their attention, and they were very busy as well.

Chang Jun and his group didn’t attack them directly just because they weren’t prepared. That would be blatantly admitting they knew their plan and preemptively striking. Besides, there was no need for them to preemptively attack. The Divine Kingdom’s arrangements seemed excellent; they had created a defensive line, abandoning most cities and smaller sects, concentrating all their forces in major cities and sects, turning them into fortresses. However, this arrangement was utterly useless against the Blood Slaughter Sect. Would the Blood Slaughter Sect care about such arrangements? Absolutely not. Even if Gongliang Juewen and his group weren’t from the Blood Slaughter Sect, they wouldn’t care about such arrangements; in fact, they would be happy. They wouldn’t care if the Divine Kingdom concentrated all its forces for a decisive battle, let alone prepare for a gradual attack like this. There was absolutely no need to worry.

The Divine Kingdom abandoned most of the smaller sects and cities, relocating their people and concentrating their forces on the major cities and sects. This was actually a good thing for the Blood Slaughter Sect, allowing them to focus their efforts on dealing with those major cities and sects, saving them trouble. Therefore, Chang Jun genuinely didn’t care about the Divine Kingdom’s arrangement; in fact, he was quite pleased, as it saved them a lot of trouble.

As for the upgrading of the defensive arrays in those major cities and sects, Chang Jun cared even less. He already knew the level of the Divine Kingdom’s arrays. Even if they upgraded their defensive arrays, it wouldn’t matter to the Blood Slaughter Sect. What level were the Blood Slaughter Sect’s arrays? If their arrays couldn’t handle their primitive planar arrays, then everyone in the Divine Mechanism Hall should just die. Therefore, Chang Jun truly didn’t care about the Divine Kingdom’s arrangements; he had absolute confidence in the Blood Slaughter Sect. (End of Chapter)
