Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16368

Chapter 16366 Retracted

In less than an hour, the 120 large magical artifacts that had accompanied the expedition were all filled with ordinary people. At this point, General Li, not seeking personal glory, immediately ordered a retreat.

Following his order, the army began to retreat, and at a considerable speed. Meanwhile, the Blood Slaughter Sect seemed to have only just reacted, and some of their forces began attacking the army. However, the army’s objective this time was not to annihilate them, so they fought as they retreated. The Blood Slaughter Sect’s forces seemed completely overwhelmed, and their attacks were disorganized and disorganized. Thus, the two sides fought and retreated continuously.

However, the closer they got to Thousand Lotus Mountain, the more enemies attacked them, eventually even forming shape-shifting protective shields. But they were already very close to Thousand Lotus Mountain. After paying some price, the army crossed the mountain, and the Blood Slaughter Sect, perhaps fearing an ambush, did not pursue but instead retreated entirely.

In fact, General Li knew that this was all an act by the Blood Slaughter Sect. All the ordinary people in Sanhe Plain were already disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect. If they really wanted to fight, those rogue cultivators would be no match for them. However, they were willingly captured, and of course, they had to appear to resist. The Blood Slaughter Sect members knew very well that these ordinary people would not be killed. Even if they were captured, they would be placed in a safe place in the Divine Kingdom and would not be killed.

As for the lack of a large-scale attack, that was intentional. For the Blood Slaughter Sect, attacking those people would be too easy, but if they didn’t let them go this time, how could they send more people next time? So this time, the Blood Slaughter Sect deliberately let them go.

Once General Li and his men returned to the defensive line, he immediately ordered the large magical artifacts to transport all the people on board to the rear. This time, they had abducted over ten million ordinary people, a considerable number. The Divine Kingdom had made some arrangements to disperse these people and integrate them into the villages and towns within its controlled territory.

Their aim was to ensure that the abductees, wherever they went, would be unable to form their own groups, allowing the local population to become the majority. This way, even if the abductees wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn’t dare. However, what

they didn’t realize was that this was actually Gongliang Juewen’s deliberate arrangement. The reason for this was to ensure that as many abductees as possible entered the villages and towns. This was because these people were essentially a seed of revolution; no matter which village they were assigned to, the people in that village would quickly become members of the Blood Slaughter Sect. When the Blood Slaughter Sect launched a full-scale attack on the Divine Kingdom, these people could then act as an inside agent, making it much easier to deal with the people of the Divine Kingdom.

After General Li and his men finished dealing with the frontline matters and the large magical artifacts, they directly reported the news to Gongliang Juewen. He also expressed his concerns, believing the Blood Slaughter Sect would retaliate and that they needed to prepare for defense. He wrote all of this in a letter and handed it to Gongliang Juewen.

Gongliang Juewen then summoned Qingxuan, Wan Hai, and the others to the main hall for a grand court assembly. Once everyone had arrived, Gongliang Juewen took out General Li’s jade slip and addressed the crowd: “I’m sure everyone has received the news. General Li and his men have done a good job this time. The army directly entered the rebel-occupied area, capturing everyone in Sanhe Plain and destroying their grain. This is great news for us. Sanhe Plain is arguably the largest grain-producing area in the rebel-occupied region. Destroying all the grain there will likely make it difficult for the enemy to produce fasting pills. This operation…” It was a great success, but General Li also raised a problem: the enemy’s movements.

He paused, glanced at the crowd below, and continued, “General Li said the enemy will definitely retaliate, so we must prepare to meet them and prevent them from using the same methods to retaliate. Everyone, please share your thoughts on what we should do.”

Hearing Gongliang Juewen’s words, everyone frowned. They weren’t afraid of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s retaliation; their concern was that they had no way to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect’s Five Elements Dividing Light Realm.

At this moment, Qingxuan spoke up, “It’s almost impossible for the enemy to retaliate against us in the same way. They don’t possess large magical artifacts. Their shape-shifting shields, while capable of attacking our large magical artifacts and breaking through our protective mountain formation, cannot hold people. They can’t hold too many people at once. So even if they wanted to take those ordinary people back, they couldn’t.”

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, then they all nodded. Qingxuan continued, “If they can’t retaliate in the same way, then there’s nothing to worry about. All our bases have underground bases. If the enemy attacks, we just need to wait for them in the underground bases. If they dare to enter the underground bases, then I…” “Let them come and not return. If they don’t enter the underground base, then there’s nothing to worry about. They won’t attack ordinary people. If they do, it’s actually a good thing for us. Then all the ordinary people will support us in fighting them. We can then spread this news to the rebel territories, and they’ll probably never get the support of ordinary people again.”

Everyone nodded, and Gongliang Juewen also nodded. He then said, “That’s true, but to be honest, I still don’t really like this approach. Think about it, is there any way to break through their shape-shifting shields?”

At this point, Gongliang Juewen turned to Wen Jing and said, “Wen Jing, you tell us. After all, in terms of magic arrays, you…” “He’s an expert.”

Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen’s words, Wen Jing frowned slightly, then said, “Your Majesty, I don’t know whether the enemy is using a magic array or not, because I’ve never heard of such a magic array before. Generally, large magic arrays are divided into defensive arrays and illusion arrays. Everyone knows about defensive arrays; many cities and sects have them. Illusion arrays aren’t used very often because setting up a large one is extremely difficult. As for large offensive magic arrays, they are even rarer, almost nonexistent, because setting them up is even more difficult. Generally, defensive arrays are divided into defensive arrays and barrier arrays. Defensive arrays are mainly for defense, while barrier arrays are generally used for sealing. They can also defend, but relatively speaking, sealing is less effective.” “The effect will be even better.”

He paused here, then continued, “The array the enemy is using now, its shield looks like a defensive array, but I’ve never heard of any defensive array shield that can deform. Although I’ve never heard of a defensive array shield that can deform, the basic principle of the array the enemy is using is the same as a defensive array. The reason it looks strong is because they are attacking with the defensive shield, and the method of attack is actually impact. We all know that the shield of a defensive array is very strong; if you use a defensive shield to impact an enemy, the enemy’s defensive array can indeed be broken; if you impact a large magical artifact, the large magical artifact can indeed be destroyed. So the enemy is actually using a deformable defensive array, but how they deform the defensive array, we don’t know yet.”

“Besides that, there’s another point: the energy source of their magic array. Because their array is suspended in mid-air, they can’t use the power of earth or water veins as their energy source. Therefore, their energy source can only be the people inside their protective shield. This is why there are so many people inside their shield. But the problem remains: we still don’t know how they set up this array, let alone what kind of array they used. Under these circumstances, it will be extremely difficult for us to deal with them. In fact, there are two major difficulties. First, their shield is movable. We can’t attack them continuously like we would a fixed defensive array. They move and run, so we can’t attack a single point. It will be extremely difficult to break through their shield by force. Second, we don’t know what kind of array they used, so we have no way to break through that shield using technical means. Therefore, breaking through that shield is extremely difficult.” “It’s difficult. Unless we have a magical artifact with an extremely powerful attack that can break through their shield in one strike, it’s indeed very difficult to deal with it.”

Everyone listened to his words. After he finished speaking, Gongliang Juewen looked at Wenjing and said, “So, we have no way to break through that shield right now?”

Wenjing thought for a moment and then said, “There is a method we can try: use each sect’s most treasured magical artifact, wielded by the strongest member of the sect, to attack their shield and see if we can break through it. This method may not succeed, and the enemy might even steal the artifact.”

Gongliang Juewen frowned upon hearing this, and then said in a deep voice, “No, that’s too risky. Each sect’s most treasured artifact cannot be used lightly. If it really gets stolen by the enemy, the loss to each sect will be too great. Most importantly, if they really steal the most treasured artifact, won’t that make them even stronger? So this method won’t work.”
