Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16356
Chapter 16354. Arrangement of Chapter 16354
Everyone fell silent for a while before Gongliang Juewen nodded and said, “That makes sense. Sect Master Qingxuan is right. Judging from the current situation, we must take them seriously. If we really have to fight them for a long time, then our first priority is to protect ourselves. Judging from the enemy’s current methods, their attack power is still very strong, and they have already developed a way to replace large magical artifacts. Therefore, we must strengthen our defenses at the front line and send reinforcements.”
The others all nodded in agreement. Indeed, reinforcements were necessary. Previously, they had always thought that since the enemy didn’t have large magical artifacts, even if they wanted to attack, it would take them a long time to break through their defensive formations. But now it seems that this is not the case. The enemy has already developed a way to replace large magical artifacts, and they have already broken through their base’s defensive formations, haven’t they? Their base’s defensive array was no less powerful than the mountain-protecting array of a major sect, yet it was breached in an instant by the enemy. This was enough to demonstrate the enemy’s offensive strength. Under these circumstances, they had to reinforce the front lines; otherwise, if the enemy attacked, their defenses would likely be breached immediately, which would be extremely dangerous.
Although most of these people’s forces were not located at the front lines, a few had forces very close by. If the enemy were to actually attack, they would be in grave danger.
At this moment, Wan Hai suddenly spoke up: “We can learn from the enemy.”
His words startled everyone, who looked at him in confusion. Wan Hai glanced at them and continued, “General Li mentioned in his previous letter that the enemy has built underground fortifications beneath all their forces. Our people would have to pay a heavy price to take them down. We can do the same. We can build underground fortifications beneath every city or sect. That way, even if they break through our defensive formations, they’ll have to eliminate all our people in the underground fortifications before they can advance. This will give us enough…” “We need to react in time. Our existing defenses were already quite good; it’s just that we had to withdraw many people from them for the previous attack. Now that we need to strengthen the defenses, we must bring back those people. If anyone has died, we’ll reassign them. In short, this defense line must be established, and it needs to be larger, thicker, and deeper. As for the civilians in that area, we can let them stay there. I don’t think the enemy will harm them.”
Hearing this, Gongliang Juewen and the others all nodded. Gongliang Juewen said, “That makes sense. That’s how we should do it. Does anyone have any other opinions? Please speak up.” “Come.”
At this moment, a minister spoke up: “Your Majesty, there’s also the matter of intelligence gathering. We must gather more intelligence on the enemy; otherwise, if we remain ignorant of them, we’ll have no way to deal with them. Therefore, intelligence gathering is extremely important. We can send some loyal rogue cultivators directly into the enemy-occupied areas to gather intelligence.”
Gongliang Juewen nodded and said: “That’s good, that’s a good idea, but the loyalty of the rogue cultivators is a problem. Moreover, I’ve heard that those enemies have their own methods of identifying people. It’s not certain that the people we send will gather much intelligence, but we should still try.”
Everyone nodded, and Gongliang Juewen… Liang Juewen glanced at everyone and then said, “Alright, it’s settled then. First, reinforce the front lines and strengthen our defenses. Second, send people into the enemy-occupied areas to gather intelligence.”
Everyone responded. Liang Juewen glanced at everyone and then said, “Although General Li was defeated, this defeat is really not his fault. Therefore, I still hope that he will command the front lines. What do you all think?”
Everyone responded. They all agreed to let General Li command, because they had no other suitable candidates. This battle was too important. The royal family would not allow someone from a sect or aristocratic family to command the army, so General Li was the most suitable candidate.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Gongliang Juewen dismissed them. Meanwhile, after Qingxuan and the others returned to the Tianxuan Sect, Qingxuan immediately summoned all the sect leaders. Once everyone had arrived, Qingxuan looked at them and asked, “What do you all think about this matter?” The sect leaders exchanged
glances, their expressions grave. After a long while, one sect leader finally spoke, “To be honest, I was quite surprised. I didn’t expect such an outcome. We sent out quite a few people this time, but we didn’t expect the enemy to drive them back so easily. It seems the enemy’s strength is greater than we imagined. Now that they’ve repelled us, they might launch an attack next. We can’t underestimate them.” “They’re the enemy, they’re capable of attacking.”
His words startled everyone, and their expressions turned even more grim. However, they had to admit that the sect leader was right. Qingxuan nodded and said, “Indeed, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is part of them. Has the Myriad Laws Divine Sect’s style of doing things been influenced by them? If the Myriad Laws Divine Sect’s style of doing things has been influenced by them, then they will definitely attack. Don’t forget, when the Myriad Laws Divine Sect only had a small number of people, they dared to attack us. Of course, they will dare to attack us too. Moreover, judging from their actions, they won’t be content to just stay there. They will definitely expand, and once they expand, a great war will be inevitable, and we will definitely clash with them.”
Everyone nodded. Qingxuan spoke up, “To be honest, although I don’t know why those sects surrendered to those people, we can tell from our two battles that those sects who surrendered probably won’t have an easy time either. We’ve conquered the territories of several small sects before, and those people all fought to the death. In the end, they all died in battle. They didn’t even seem to have the thought of surrendering. That seems very courageous, but if there wasn’t no other way to surrender, would anyone really not surrender? I don’t believe it. So, those sects that surrendered probably have no say in their own affairs, just like those who joined the Creation God Cult. Those who joined the Creation God Cult can never leave it.”
Everyone nodded. Qingxuan continued, “I don’t want to become a puppet to be manipulated, so I…” “We must fight, we must drive the enemy back.”
Everyone nodded. Qingxuan let out a long breath and continued, “If we don’t want to become puppets, then we have no choice but to fight them. Because with every step they take forward, they get closer to us. So don’t think that this battle is far away from us, or that we are fighting for the royal family. In fact, this battle is also fighting for ourselves. You all understand, right?”
Everyone nodded. Qingxuan looked at them and then said, “Alright, then I won’t say anything more. After you go back, prepare more manpower and send them to the front line. Remember, this battle is not just for the royal family, but also for ourselves.” Everyone responded again, then they all stood up, bowed to Qingxuan, and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, General Li and his men returned to the defensive line. They returned to Huyang City once again. As soon as they returned to Huyang City, General Li arranged for everyone to prepare for defense. He was worried that the Blood Slaughter Sect would attack them directly.
After arranging all this, General Li inquired about the situation of the Aristocratic Family Alliance and the Sect Alliance. Since Fang Wuwei and Lü Xiaofang hadn’t returned, these alliances were essentially leaderless. Therefore, General Li needed to pay close attention to their situation and immediately ordered them to prepare their defenses. Only
after finishing these tasks did General Li finally breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, he hadn’t expected the Blood Slaughter Sect’s attack to be so formidable. They hadn’t even used any magic arrays; they had simply used the Five Elements Dividing Light Realm to repel them. Now, General Li was truly growing more and more impressed with the Blood Slaughter Sect.
After General Li finished arranging the defenses, he immediately summoned the elders of the Sect Alliance and the Aristocratic Family Alliance. Once they arrived, General Li looked at them and said, “I invited you here today to discuss the upcoming arrangements. Since we’ve retreated, I don’t think we can launch another attack in the short term. Therefore, we must focus on defense. Once you return, you must ensure the defenses are in place. If you haven’t sent personnel to those previously garrisoned positions, send them immediately. Our defensive lines must be fully restored to prevent any enemy attacks.”
The representatives of the Aristocratic Family Alliance and the Sect Alliance all responded. Since they didn’t hold the same rank as General Li, they had to obey his orders.
General Li continued, “The enemy must be very proud of repelling our attack. They might come to attack again, so we must be prepared for defense. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing. If we can’t attack, and we can’t defend, then none of us will be able to explain ourselves to our superiors or face our subordinates. So everyone must be prepared for this defense. I really don’t believe that if the enemy can stop our attack, we can’t stop theirs.”
The members of the Aristocratic Family Alliance and the Sect Alliance all responded. General Li continued, “Pay special attention to the enemy’s protective shields. Their shields can transform and can be used as large magical artifacts. We must be especially careful about this. Moreover, our defensive formations cannot withstand such attacks. Everyone must be particularly cautious about this.”
