Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16404
Chapter 16402 Attack
Upon hearing the elder’s words, everyone’s expressions grew even more grim. General Li spoke up, “Their Creation Golden Wheel likely won’t remain suspended in the air, because they know we possess a sect-protecting treasure-level magic weapon. If their Creation Golden Wheel were suspended in the air, it would be the perfect target, and it would certainly be destroyed by us. Therefore, their Creation Golden Wheel may have already entered their underground base. If it has, its potential uses would be immense. It could be used as an illusion array, or even a teleportation array. After all, their bases also need reinforcements. Therefore, I believe their Creation Golden Wheel…” “Jinlun may have already entered their underground base.”
Everyone nodded. At this moment, another elder spoke up: “If that’s really the case, then it will be even more difficult for us to take it. If we attack directly, our losses will probably be huge.”
General Li said in a deep voice: “No matter what, we cannot give up Qianhe Mountain. No matter the cost, we must take it back. If we can’t take it back, we’ll be too passive. Let’s all tell each other how we should take it.”
Hearing what General Li said, everyone nodded. They were also very clear that they had to take back Qianhe Mountain, otherwise they would be too passive.
At this moment, General Li suddenly spoke up: “Actually, retaking those mountains is quite simple. There are only two methods: one, attack all the peaks simultaneously; two, attack only one or a few peaks. Which method do you all think we should use?”
Hearing General Li’s words, everyone was taken aback, and then they all began to discuss. An elder spoke up: “Attack all the peaks simultaneously? Isn’t that too much? That would make our forces too scattered. So I think we should only attack a few peaks.”
“Attack only a few peaks is definitely not feasible. If we only attack a few peaks, the enemy will focus their defenses on those peaks, turning them into meat grinders, and our losses will be too great. Conversely, if we attack all the peaks simultaneously, although our forces will be scattered, the enemy’s forces will be even more scattered, making it easier for us to capture those peaks. Don’t forget, the enemy’s numbers are incomparable to ours.”
“However, if we attack all the peaks simultaneously, then the enemy’s Creation Golden Wheel can come into play, and we will only have more headaches.”
“We also have a sect-protecting treasure-level magical artifact. Their Creation Golden Wheel must be at the very bottom of their base. We can have each team take their sect-protecting treasure-level artifact and directly enter their base, then rush to the bottom and destroy their Creation Golden Wheel. That way, their Creation Golden Wheel can be used.” “
But if we really do that, our losses will definitely be significant. The enemy also has kingdoms and experts, and quite a few of them. If we really attack like that, how many of our kingdom-level experts will we lose? Has anyone thought about that?”
“If we only attack a few of their bases, the losses will probably still be considerable, right?”
“No matter how many losses we suffer, we must attack.”
General Li looked at his men, remaining silent until they had discussed the matter for a while before finally speaking. “Alright, everyone, make your arrangements. It seems that attacking only a few bases has its advantages, and attacking all bases has its advantages as well. In any case, we must resolve this matter as quickly as possible. The longer it drags on, the greater our losses will be.”
Everyone nodded. General Li continued, “How about this? We’ll attack all their bases first and see how it goes. If it works, then we’ll attack all their bases. If not, then we’ll defeat them one by one. We’ll suffer losses, and the enemy will suffer losses too. I really don’t believe the enemy is truly fearless. Everyone, get ready.” Everyone responded, and General Li waved his hand, dismissing them.
After they left, General Li let out a long sigh. He knew that Gongliang Juewen must know about this, but hadn’t informed him. However, whether he was informed or not didn’t matter; he didn’t think there was anything wrong with not informing him.
At this time, Gongliang Juewen had also summoned the representatives of Qingxuan and other sects, as well as the representatives of Wanhai and other families, to the main hall for a meeting.
Once everyone had arrived, Gongliang Juewen had a map spread out. He then looked at everyone and said, “As you all know, the Blood Slaughter Sect wants to take Thousand Lotus Mountain. But if they actually succeed, we’ll be in a very passive position. Everyone, please share your thoughts.”
Everyone looked at the map, remaining silent. After a while, Qingxuan finally spoke, “I must say, the enemy’s attack this time was incredibly swift and ruthless. They’ve captured those crucial points on Thousand Lotus Mountain, putting us at a disadvantage. Now they want to take those peaks…” “Taking it back won’t be so easy. I wonder what General Li and his men have decided.”
Just then, a eunuch entered, holding a jade slip. He handed it directly to Gongliang Juewen, who glanced at its contents and then said, “General Li and his men have begun organizing their troops to advance on Qianhe Mountain. They plan to attack all the enemy-occupied peaks simultaneously to see how effective it is. They believe that the enemy is outnumbered, and if they try to defend so many places at once, their forces might not be enough.” “We’ve decided to attack all the peaks simultaneously. If we only attack one, we won’t be able to utilize our numerical advantage, and it will just become a piecemeal attack, which would be a huge waste.”
Everyone nodded. Wan Hai then spoke up, “Let’s give our full support to the front lines. No matter what, we must take back Qianhe Mountain. If we don’t take it back, our only buffer zone between us and the enemy will be gone. It will be much easier for them to attack us, and much more difficult for us to attack them. To be honest, it’s also our fault…” Previously, they had treated Thousand Lotus Mountain as a buffer zone and hadn’t built a base there, which ironically benefited the Blood Slaughter Sect.
No one spoke, but their expressions were grim. Gongliang Juewen spoke up, “Let’s see how things go, how General Li’s attack goes. If they can retake Thousand Lotus Mountain, that’s best. If they can’t, then we’ll think of another way.”
Everyone nodded, and then Gongliang Juewen adjourned the meeting. Since General Li had already made his decision, they would see how his attack went before making a final decision.
Meanwhile, on the front lines of the Divine Kingdom, a large army quickly assembled and headed directly towards Thousand Lotus Mountain. They were attacking the peaks occupied by the Blood Slaughter Sect.
When they arrived at the mountain, they were surprised to find no defensive shields. They reached the summit, only to find it deserted, with no entrances or exits, as if the mountain was truly uninhabited.
However, they did not believe that there were no people on these mountains. They were certain that the enemy must have used magic to enter the mountains and build an underground base inside, leaving no trace on the surface.
This time, the one leading the army to attack was none other than General Li. General Li personally went to a mountain peak, stood there and carefully observed it. After circling the peak, he immediately ordered, “There are energy fluctuations here on the mountain. The enemy must be underground. Use magic immediately and advance directly into the mountain. We must find their base.”
Everyone responded, and then they began to use magic to prepare to break through the ground and enter the mountain to build an underground base. Building an underground base in the mountain is completely different from building one on flat ground. A base built in the mountain shouldn’t be called an underground base; it should be called a mountain base. Mountains are higher than the ground level. That means if you’re attacking an underground base on flat ground, you can only break through the soil bit by bit from the surface to enter the underground base. But a mountain base is different. You can’t go all the way down from the mountaintop to the ground level and then build the base, right? That base is so deep! It must be inside a mountain. And if it is, it’s vulnerable to attacks from all sides. Not only can it be attacked from the mountaintop, but also from the sides, and even from below. There are so many points of attack! Therefore, a base inside a mountain is actually easier to attack than one underground.
That’s exactly what the cultivators from these divine kingdoms are doing. Some are using magic to attack downwards from the mountaintop, others are attacking from the sides, and some have even gone down to the foot of the mountain and used magic to enter, preparing to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect’s base from within.
General Li smiled at this, but a hint of worry lingered in his eyes. As General Li, he naturally wanted to see such an attack, but as a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect, he was concerned for them. Could the Blood Slaughter Sect’s base withstand such an attack?
However, General Li soon discovered that the attack wasn’t going as smoothly as he had imagined. Aside from the cultivators attacking from underground, those attacking from the mountaintop or the sides of the mountain, despite their earth-based spells landing on the soil, didn’t break through it as he expected. Instead, the soil remained completely still, as if immune to the earth-based spells. This situation stunned the attacking cultivators from the divine kingdom, who were baffled as to why this was happening. (End of Chapter)
