Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16396

Chapter 16394 Proposal

Upon seeing this situation, Wen Cheng and General Li didn’t hold back and immediately commanded their respective teams to attack the Creation Golden Wheels. As

soon as Chang Jun saw them arrive, he immediately ordered the Creation Golden Wheels to scatter, feigning an escape. This served two purposes: first, to lure the teams away, making them disperse and easier to attack; second, it indicated their own retreat. Their goal was to make the people of the Divine Kingdom believe they were retaliating, thus preventing them from staying and fighting for long.

The battle went smoothly. They converted several teams that weren’t yet part of the Blood Slaughter Sect into members of the sect before leaving. To further solidify their claim, they destroyed twenty Creation Golden Wheels.

After they left, Wen Cheng and General Li immediately reported the incident, and Gongliang Juewen promptly summoned all the sects and families to the main hall.

Once everyone had arrived, Gongliang Juewen looked at them and said, “I think everyone is aware of what just happened. Sect Master Shui, please tell us about your losses.”

This Sect Master Shui was named Shui Yi, the sect master of the Frost Sect. The Frost Sect was a major sect and qualified to attend such a meeting, which is why Gongliang Juewen asked him to speak.

Shui Yi nodded and said, “Our losses this time weren’t significant. After discovering the enemy, we immediately entered the underground base, so there were almost no personnel losses. Only some surface buildings were destroyed, and the protective array needs repair. Other than that, there were no other losses.”

Gongliang Juewen nodded and said, “Very good, Sect Master Shui, please sit down.”

Shui Yi responded and sat down. Gongliang Juewen looked at everyone and said, “I just asked General Li, and he said that our sentries at Thousand Lotus Mountain didn’t detect the Blood Slaughter Sect’s operation. In other words, they used an illusion array to pass through Thousand Lotus Mountain, which is why the sentries there didn’t detect them. After passing through Thousand Lotus Mountain, they directly used divine light because…” We have too many sentries and various magical formations along the first line of defense. They probably felt they weren’t confident they could pass through the first line undetected, so they used divine light to rush through as quickly as possible and penetrate deep into our territory. This time, they even crossed the second line of defense and launched a direct attack on the Frost Sect. After discovering our arrival, they didn’t linger and retreated immediately. Fortunately, their Creation Golden Wheels need a process before using divine light, which gave us the opportunity to destroy twenty of them; otherwise, they would have escaped unscathed.”

He paused here, glanced at everyone, and continued, “From this incident, we can see that our defenses still…” “There are shortcomings. First, the sentries at Qianhe Mountain are still too limited in their effectiveness. Second, two lines of defense are clearly insufficient; we must readjust our defenses. Third, this time the enemy is retaliating, but it also lets us know that they have more large magical artifacts than we imagined. They may still have large magical artifacts they haven’t used. Another point everyone should be aware of is that the large magical artifacts we lost when we attacked them before might be repaired and used against us.”

Gongliang Juewen paused, then continued, “They’ve done this before. Don’t forget, they used a damaged Creation Golden Wheel that they repaired.” “The Golden Wheel suffered heavy losses. Although they didn’t completely repair the Creation Golden Wheel, they managed to make it usable again. Last time, we lost a hundred large magical artifacts at their hands. Even if they couldn’t repair all of them, even if they repaired only a portion, they were still large magical artifacts. We can’t underestimate them.”

Everyone nodded. Gongliang Juewen continued, “Let’s discuss what to do next, especially the establishment of the new defensive line.”

A moment of silence followed. Then Shui Yi suddenly spoke up, “Your Majesty, after this attack, I’ve been thinking about this issue. Now I have some ideas I’d like to share.”

Gongliang Juewen nodded, “Speak.”

Shui Yi nodded and continued, “It’s like this, Your Majesty. After so much fighting, I’ve discovered a characteristic of the Blood Slaughter Sect. Perhaps because they are outnumbered, they choose targets of higher value when attacking, such as large cities or major sects. Only if there are no large cities or major sects will they choose smaller towns or smaller sects. That means the most dangerous places right now are actually the large cities and major sects. What we need to do is actually quite simple: first, ensure the safety of ordinary people. Relocate ordinary people around the large cities to smaller towns, preventing them from easily approaching the large cities. In this way, he…” They are basically safe. It’s best to relocate the ordinary people in the major cities, leaving only combat personnel. We’ll use these major cities and sects as bases. By turning all the major cities and sects into bases, our entire divine kingdom will become a massive defensive line. If the enemy enters, no matter which major city or sect they attack, it’s equivalent to attacking our base. As long as we build underground bases beneath the major cities and sects, and then construct teleportation arrays within those underground bases, even if the Blood Slaughter Sect wants to attack us, our greatest loss will likely be some surface buildings, which we can easily rebuild. “There’s absolutely nothing to worry about. This way, our losses will be minimized. And just like this time, if they attack any of our bases, our people can rush to their aid immediately. It’s actually very easy for us.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard him say this. They really hadn’t expected him to come up with such a solution. Shui Yi glanced at everyone and then continued, “Moreover, establishing an underground base has another advantage: we no longer need to worry about their barrier arrays. Their large magical artifacts are all Creation Golden Wheels, which can be converted into teleportation arrays and barrier arrays. When converted into a teleportation array, he…” “They can relocate people on a large scale, and when they convert it into a barrier array, they can completely cover an entire city, preventing news from getting out and rendering the city’s teleportation arrays unusable. However, if we use an underground base, their barrier array won’t be able to cover the entire underground base. We can still maintain communication with the outside world and receive external support. Therefore, this underground base is essential, and it will become a crucial battlefield between us and the Blood Slaughter Sect.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. They had considered this point before, but no one had voiced it.

Gongliang Juewen spoke up, “Sect Master Shui’s suggestion is good, but there’s a problem. Those large cities are important distribution centers for supplies. If we relocate all the people from those cities, the distribution of supplies will be disrupted. This could severely impact the lives of ordinary people, potentially leading to chaos.”

Although ordinary people in the Divine Kingdom have little power—a single rogue cultivator can wipe out an entire village—they are actually the foundation of the Divine Kingdom. If the Divine Kingdom were to lose its ordinary people and consist only of cultivators, then the Divine Kingdom would be in turmoil. The sect would collapse soon. While ordinary people may lack power, they are crucial. They produce vast quantities of resources, many of which are essential for cultivators. Furthermore, they are the source of new blood. Without them, sects would lack a constant influx of new members. Although new members are born within sects, the numbers are too few. A cultivator’s fertility declines with increasing strength, resulting in a very low birth rate. If a sect relies solely on its own production and doesn’t depend on ordinary people for replenishment, it will soon run out of new blood, leading to its demise.

Therefore, while ordinary people may seem insignificant, they are the foundation of the divine kingdom. If their lives are disrupted, the entire foundation of the divine kingdom will crumble, creating a truly dire situation.

Gongliang Juewen was referring to this very issue. He felt that if all the large cities were turned into bases and all the people in the large cities were relocated, it would be equivalent to sealing off some distribution centers for supplies. In the future, it would become very difficult for ordinary people to buy suitable daily necessities. If ordinary people really had to make a living because of this, then something serious would happen.

Shui Yi said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, I don’t think we need to worry too much about this matter. We can move the distribution center of supplies to those smaller towns. Moreover, ordinary people around the large cities will be relocated directly, and they won’t be going into the large cities to buy things anymore, so they shouldn’t be greatly affected.”

Gongliang Juewen didn’t say anything, but glanced at the others and then asked, “What do you all think?”

Qingxuan then spoke up, “Your Majesty, I think it’s feasible.”

Wan Hai also spoke up, “Your Majesty, I also think it’s feasible. Now, if the Creation Golden Wheel used by the Blood Slaughter Sect really uses divine light, it can penetrate deep into our territory at any time. So now, all the cities in our Divine Kingdom are no longer safe. Turning all the large cities and major sects into bases is the best solution, and I think it’s feasible.”
