Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16374

Chapter 16372. Discussion

Qingxuan and the others thought for a moment, then they all nodded. Gongliang Juewen was right. Their methods were usually only used once. If they were used a second time, the enemy might find a weakness and target them. Therefore, they usually dared not use them a second time. Precisely because of this, if they really wanted their methods to have the greatest effect, they would just do it all at once. Like their plan this time, if they sent ten million people, they could only bring back ten million at most. If they sent one hundred million people, they could bring back at least tens of millions. If they sent one billion people at once, they could bring back at least one hundred million people at once, and it would be safer. So Gongliang Juewen’s method was not wrong.

Qingxuan and the others all nodded. Gongliang Juewen looked at them and then said, “Currently, there are nearly two thousand troops at the front line, but several thousand adults must be left to guard the defenses. These people cannot be moved, so the troops available for attack at the front line are only a little over one hundred million. If we want to attract the enemy’s attention, we need to send a significant number of people. If we send too few, the enemy might discover our plan. Therefore, we need at least tens of millions of troops to attack and attract the enemy’s attention. This would further reduce the number of people we can actually send to abduct people. However, abduction doesn’t require many experts. So, my idea is, could we give those rogue cultivators an order to go to the area occupied by the Blood Slaughter Sect and abduct people? What’s the reward for each person they abduct? What do you think?” Qingxuan and

the others were taken aback, then their eyes lit up. Qingxuan then said, “Good, that’s a good idea. We can set the reward higher.” For example, we can tell them that for every person they capture, we’ll give them 100 spirit stones—just the spirit stones directly. If they don’t want spirit stones, they can exchange them for a spell or a low-level cultivation technique. If they don’t like these options, they can keep track. Once they capture five people, they can exchange them for a higher-level spell or technique. This way, although we’ll have to pay a price, we can get those independent cultivators to risk their lives for us. Of course, we can tell them that this time they must act in unison because we’ll send people to cover for them. I think this will attract many independent cultivators. Of course, our various sects will also send some people.”

The members of the various families all nodded in agreement. Gongliang Juewen glanced at everyone and then said, “Alright, let’s do it this way. Let’s move out.”

Everyone responded, then stood up, bowed to Gongliang Juewen, and turned to leave. Gongliang Juewen glanced at these people and couldn’t help but smile slightly. Then he said, “Is the number of people enough this time?”

After saying that, he led the eunuch back to his study. As soon as he returned to his study, he immediately called Chang Jun and told him about the matter.

Hearing Gongliang Juewen’s words, Chang Jun sighed and said, “Forget it. I was hoping to catch some big fish, but now it seems we can only use those rogue cultivators as a starting point. You don’t need to worry about this matter. I guarantee that none of the people who came this time will return.”

Gongliang Juewen nodded. Chang Jun looked at Gongliang Juewen and said, “Have you considered what you will do if all those people die here?”

Gongliang Juewen replied, “I will immediately order a shift from offense to defense, and have everyone reassess the sect’s strength. This is essential; otherwise, it will arouse their suspicion.” Chang Jun

nodded and said, “Very good, that’s a good plan. It will be our turn to attack then. For so long, we haven’t shown the Blood Slaughter Sect’s true strength. This time, when we begin our attack, we should show our true power.”

Gongliang Juewen nodded. He nodded, then asked, “If we defend with all our might, won’t the sect suffer heavy casualties?”

Chang Jun replied in a deep voice, “Not necessarily, but not insignificant either. It’s within an acceptable range. Don’t worry, you don’t need to worry about this. Just be a good emperor.” Gongliang Juewen

responded, and the two ended their conversation. After the conversation, Gongliang Juewen murmured, “Having a powerful backer is truly advantageous.”

Meanwhile, various sects, aristocratic families, and the military all issued bounties to rogue cultivators. As soon as the bounties were issued, the rogue cultivators became excited. In their eyes, sending them to attack the rebels was like sending them to be cannon fodder and die, but sending them to kidnap people and exchange the kidnapped for rewards was perfect. They couldn’t deal with the rebels, but surely they could handle an ordinary person? Obviously, this was impossible, so countless independent cultivators rushed to the front lines. They even said that they didn’t need to stay at the various defense lines anymore; they just needed to participate in the operation.

Because the various sects and families had stated when they issued the bounties that they could attack, but this time the attack had to be carried out according to their orders. They would send a large army to attack the rebels, drawing their attention, and then they would have a greater chance of successfully capturing people. Before the main army attacked, they couldn’t capture anyone to avoid alerting the rebels. If anyone tried to capture someone before the main army’s attack and was discovered, they would be severely punished, even killed.

The rogue cultivators also knew that if they truly offended the various families and sects, they would be finished, so they dared not act recklessly.

Soon, a large number of rogue cultivators arrived at the front lines. The underground spaces at the front lines couldn’t hold so many people, so the rogue cultivators were stationed outside the various front-line bases, and not allowed to go too far. If they went too far, they might not hear the order to attack.

Meanwhile, the Blood Slaughter Sect retaliated against the Divine Kingdom. Their retaliation, however, was more bark than bite; they merely destroyed the ground structures of a few cities on the front lines before retreating. This reassured the Divine Kingdom, who firmly believed the Blood Slaughter Sect must have suffered significant losses, otherwise their retaliation wouldn’t have been so mild. This further solidified their resolve.

To ensure the success of this attack, the Divine Kingdom’s army prepared for a full month. During this month, they primarily discussed which location of the Blood Slaughter Sect to attack and waited for more rogue cultivators to arrive. The number of rogue cultivators gathered at the front lines this time exceeded one billion.

A billion rogue cultivators! This number was beyond what Gongliang Juewen and his group had anticipated, as had General Li and his men at the front lines. General Li immediately summoned Shi Yong and the others to his room. After they arrived, General Li glanced at everyone and said, “Gentlemen, we have been preparing for a month. In this month, many rogue cultivators have arrived at the front lines. The estimated number has now exceeded one billion. The exact number is impossible to count because many rogue cultivators did not use the teleportation array but flew directly over. We cannot count them one by one, so we do not know the exact number. But in any case, the number of rogue cultivators at the front lines has definitely exceeded one billion. This is a number we absolutely did not expect.”

Everyone nodded. This was indeed a number they had not anticipated. To be honest, they were also somewhat stunned when they first learned of this number; there were simply too many people.

General Li glanced at everyone and then said, “We can no longer manage so many rogue cultivators. Fortunately, this operation doesn’t require much management. We’ll attack directly to attract the Blood Slaughter Sect’s attention and let the rogue cultivators act on their own. If they manage to capture someone, we’ll reward them. If they can’t, they won’t get a reward. If they die there, that’s just bad luck for them. After all, this is a public mission, and dying during a mission is perfectly normal for them.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Even the rogue cultivator representatives attending the meeting didn’t object. They were all rogue cultivators themselves and naturally understood that General Li was right. Not to mention the high reward for this capture mission, in the past, rogue cultivators might die outside for a mission worth ten spirit stones. So dying during a mission is really nothing to rogue cultivators; it’s perfectly normal.

General Li glanced at everyone and then said, “The reason I called you all here today isn’t actually to talk about those rogue cultivators. What I want to discuss is where we should choose for our attack this time.” After saying that, he pointed behind him, where the map was still hanging and hadn’t been taken down.

Hearing his words, everyone’s gaze turned to the map. Looking at the map, General Li addressed the crowd, saying, “We attacked Qingyuan City and Wujiang City before; both are their frontline bases. As for Sanhe Plain and Wanshou Mountain, they are all within their territory and don’t count. This time, our attack is to draw the enemy’s attention, so we must carefully choose our attack location. Another point everyone must be aware of is that after the last two incidents, the enemy will definitely be prepared. The most likely preparation is to disperse the areas where ordinary people gather, scattering them to different places so that no single area has too many people. This way, even if we want to abduct people, we won’t be able to take too many at once, minimizing their losses. Therefore, this time, we can no longer focus on those ordinary people’s gathering places. If I’m not mistaken, there shouldn’t be many people left in those areas.” (End of Chapter)
