Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16350

Chapter 16348. Discussion

“Now that you are also believers in God, you should know what you are supposed to do. The most important thing for you as believers is to preach. Of course, we cannot preach openly. If we dared to, the major families would definitely come after us. But we can bring in more smaller families. The main reason for this is that their situation is similar to ours; they too have been abandoned. If we can unite those smaller families, then we might have the qualifications to confront the major families. All along, although we are called the Alliance of Families, the major families have always called the shots, and we have only the right to obey. Even so, if something really happens, they still abandon us without hesitation. So, only by uniting can we…” “Only those powerful families can survive. Before, we didn’t trust each other that much, but now it’s different. Now we are all believers in God, and that’s the foundation of trust. So, as long as we bring those smaller families in, we’ll have a voice. And those larger families won’t suspect us because they know perfectly well what they’ve done to us. They’ll only think we’ve united for survival, not that we all believe in God. This is our opportunity, a chance for us to grow and prosper.”

Everyone nodded. Lu Lingguang continued, “Let’s split up. There are many smaller families here now. We need to contact them. Oh, and when you tell them about this, remember to make them swear a solemn oath, absolutely not to let them leak the news.” Everyone responded again, and Lu Lingguang then let them leave.

After everyone left, Lu Lingguang breathed a sigh of relief. He knew very well that what they were doing absolutely could not be known to anyone. If they were, they were finished. So they had to be careful.

Of course, Lu Lingguang wasn’t idle either. He went to contact other forces again. Now, the Lu family was quite well-known among the minor aristocratic families, after all, they already had several kingdom-level experts, making their strength quite considerable.

On the other hand, General Li and his group also received Gongliang Juewen’s letter. They knew what to do next. They needed to prepare for a long-term battle, and they would no longer show mercy to the enemy. Gongliang Juewen’s order was tantamount to telling the sect alliance and the aristocratic family alliance that they would not accept surrender. In fact, even if someone did surrender, the sect alliance and the aristocratic family alliance would not accept it. Killing those sect and aristocratic family members would give them their territory, but accepting their surrender would bring them nothing. Therefore, they would no longer accept those people’s surrender.

Meanwhile, people from various sects and aristocratic families began arriving at the front lines in large numbers. This time, they brought with them a large number of independent cultivators. After all, Gongliang Juewen had said that these independent cultivators were a contribution from the sect alliance and the aristocratic family alliance, so they naturally wanted to bring as many as possible. As a result, the number of people at the base increased rapidly, and soon the base could no longer accommodate them.

This time, General Li and his men did not rush to attack. If the base could not accommodate them, they would expand it instead of rushing to attack. Moreover, they began to train the independent cultivators. This time, the enthusiasm of the various sects and aristocratic families for the attack was much higher than before, because they were very clear that by eliminating those sects and aristocratic families, they would gain those territories, which were real benefits. Therefore, the people from those sects and aristocratic families were now very cooperative, and they even took the initiative to train the independent cultivators.

Despite the massive commotion they’d created, the Blood Slaughter Sect remained completely silent. They didn’t care about the scale of the disturbance; in fact, they hoped for an even bigger one.

For a full month, the Divine Kingdom’s army remained still, focusing on training and continuous troop buildup. Their base now amassed nearly 30 million troops, expanding repeatedly until it became an enormous entity.

Originally, their base was divided into three sections: one for the military and royal family, one for the aristocratic alliance, and one for the sect alliance. However, with the increasing number of arrivals, the three bases have now merged. Surprisingly, the largest contingent isn’t from the aristocratic alliance or the sect alliance, but rather from the military and royal family’s base.

Previously, members of the Aristocratic Family Alliance and the Sect Alliance believed their numbers would surpass those of the military and the royal family. After all, the military rarely interacted with rogue cultivators and wouldn’t assign them any missions. The same applied to the royal family; a large portion of their army was stationed in Wukong City, the only place without rogue cultivators, making contact almost nonexistent. Under these circumstances, they should have the fewest rogue cultivators under their command, making it impossible for them to outnumber the Aristocratic Family Alliance and the Sect Alliance.

However, the reality was quite the opposite. The number of rogue cultivators gathered with the military and the royal alliance was actually the largest, surprising the Aristocratic Family Alliance and the Sect Alliance.

In fact, after many years of development, the military had considerable contact with rogue cultivators. As mentioned before, many troops stationed in various cities were not fully staffed; only a portion of the elite troops were military personnel, while the rest were temporary rogue cultivators hired to fill positions to pass inspections. Therefore, the military still had significant contact with rogue cultivators.

Although the royal family doesn’t directly interact with independent cultivators, they are still the royal family, and they hold considerable influence among them. Therefore, many independent cultivators are willing to follow them.

In the Divine Kingdom, independent cultivators are the most numerous. While some independent cultivators gather at various sects and aristocratic families year-round, most are completely independent and have no connection to these families or sects. Now, knowing that the front lines are recruiting, and that meritorious service can lead to military service or even direct service to the royal family, these independent cultivators have rushed here, gathering at the military and royal bases.

Although their three bases are now united, they remain relatively independent. While they conduct joint training, they rarely interact during normal activities, even affecting the independent cultivators, who are also less likely to participate.

However, after a month of training, the independent cultivators here have now taken shape. They finally look somewhat like an army; at least they can now follow orders. Moreover, they have all been organized into squads of one hundred, each squad commanded by someone from a powerful family, sect, or military. This makes them look like an army.

That day, General Li summoned Fang Wuwei and Lü Xiaofang to his room again. After they arrived, General Li looked at them and said, “It’s been a month. The training has been quite effective. I think we must attack now. You should have heard the complaints below. If we don’t attack soon, it will likely cause them dissatisfaction.”

Fang Wuwei and Lü Xiaofang both nodded. Fang Wuwei said in a deep voice, “It’s not just the people below; the various sects are also urging us to attack. After all, His Majesty’s orders are there, and they all want to…” “We’ll deal with those traitorous sects and families, and then seize their territories.”

Lü Xiaofang nodded, saying, “My situation is the same. However, after a month of training, we really should attack. The amount of resources consumed during this month of training alone is unimaginable. If we don’t attack, the higher-ups will definitely blame us, since they can’t afford to waste time.”

General Li nodded, “That’s right. No matter the reason, we must attack. What are your thoughts on this time’s objective?”

“We must get back up from where we fell. I think we can still attack Qingyuan City this time. Last time, we were a bit careless. We didn’t expect that after we took back Qingyuan City, they would launch a counterattack so quickly and so fiercely. This time, if we take back Qingyuan City and set up its defensive array in the shortest possible time, along with the Creation Golden Wheel and our large magical artifacts, I don’t believe we can’t defend Qingyuan City.”

“Qingyuan City is indeed a good choice. Once we take Qingyuan City, the entire surrounding area will be under our threat. It’s a strategic location, but precisely because it’s so important, the enemy will definitely strengthen their defenses and won’t let us succeed so easily. We must be prepared for this.”

General Li nodded and continued, “Taking Qingyuan City and holding it will certainly not be easy. Oh, and there’s the teleportation array. Once we take Qingyuan City, establishing the teleportation array will allow reinforcements to continuously arrive. That’s the most important thing. In that case, we must carefully allocate manpower during the attack. Who will be responsible for the main attack, who will be responsible for defense, and who will be responsible for the magic array—we must discuss all of this beforehand. It would be best to have them rehearse how to set up the defensive array in Qingyuan City. This is extremely important. And most importantly, although Qingyuan City is large, it absolutely cannot accommodate so many people. If we really take Qingyuan City, how will we accommodate so many people? This is also a major problem.” (End of Chapter)
