Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16409

Chapter 16407 Night Raid

Raid After hearing his words, Chang Jun responded, then said, “It’s feasible, let’s do it that way then, what do you all think?”

Everyone nodded in agreement, they also approved of this approach. Seeing that no one objected, Chang Jun directly said, “Okay, it’s settled then, everyone go and prepare, we’ll move out tonight.” Everyone responded, then stood up, saluted Chang Jun, and went to prepare.

Meanwhile, General Li’s underground base was being built smoothly and quickly. They used the Blood Slaughter Sect’s method, designing all the passages in the base to be very narrow. However, because they hadn’t established a land-solidification array, they could widen these passages if they wanted, it would just take more time.

As for magic arrays, these underground bases don’t have them yet. Building magic arrays underground is no easy task, so none of their underground bases currently have them. General Li knows this is dangerous; if the Blood Slaughter Sect attacks, those on other mountains won’t be able to send support via teleportation arrays. Therefore, General Li made another arrangement: once the Blood Slaughter Sect attacks a mountain, that mountain will immediately send out a signal, and those on other mountains must come to its aid immediately.

At the same time, General Li also ordered the construction of magic arrays in each base as quickly as possible. However, building these bases is not easy, so so far, none of the bases have magic arrays.

After nightfall, the Blood Slaughter Sect’s army began to assemble. This time, they weren’t just attacking one underground base; they now have seventy-nine mountains, and they planned to simultaneously send troops from all seventy-nine mountains to attack the surrounding bases using the tactic of besieging a point and attacking reinforcements. Of course, the point they ultimately besieged must also be captured.

Chang Jun personally led a team towards a Divine Kingdom base next to their own. However, just as they were about to reach the base, they split up. One group attacked the base, while the other group ambushed the surrounding area, preparing to ambush any reinforcements.

Once everyone was ready, Chang Jun contacted the other bases to see if they were also prepared. They planned to act simultaneously that night, further dispersing the Divine Kingdom’s forces and making their attack easier.

Moreover, their goal wasn’t actually to kill everyone from the Divine Kingdom at Thousand Lotus Mountain, nor was it to seize territory; their primary objective was to kill.

After receiving confirmation that the other teams were ready, Chang Jun immediately ordered the main force to attack. Following his command, those responsible for attacking the various bases launched their assaults.

After being attacked, the bases of those divine kingdoms immediately sent out signals. Clusters of white energy shot into the sky and exploded – this was their pre-arranged signal. General

Li’s base hadn’t been attacked, but they saw the signal in the sky. General Li immediately dispatched reinforcements to that base, but soon, clusters of white light erupted in the sky. General Li’s expression changed, and he immediately said, “It looks like tonight will be a full-scale attack by the Blood Slaughter Sect. Have the unattacked bases send reinforcements immediately.” Someone responded and went to relay the order.

General Li didn’t go; as the commander, he naturally had to stay behind to observe the situation and give orders. However, his base’s personnel were sent out.

The cultivators from the divine kingdom flew straight towards the attacked base. Just as they were about to reach it, countless magical artifacts suddenly flew out from the ground and attacked them. The cultivators were in a hurry to provide reinforcements and hadn’t expected an ambush. Caught completely off guard, many were killed instantly. However, they quickly reacted, setting up their defenses and launching a counterattack. But this time, the Blood Slaughter Sect had sent a large force to ambush them, and the attacking team was struggling to hold on. They wanted to retreat, but couldn’t, as they were entangled by the Blood Slaughter Sect members.

However, this wasn’t the only team coming to reinforce the base. The regular army couldn’t ambush the other teams, so those teams still reached the base that the regular army had attacked.

But the Blood Slaughter Sect had already breached the base, and the reinforcements immediately engaged the Blood Slaughter Sect members in battle.

It can be said that the entire Thousand Lotus Mountain was thrown into chaos that night. However, one side had planned ahead, while the other side was outmaneuvered. So overall, the Blood Slaughter Sect gained a great advantage. Many of the support teams sent out by the Divine Kingdom were ambushed and wiped out by the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Of course, the Blood Slaughter Sect also suffered considerable losses, especially those who had stormed the underground base. Their losses were significant, but overall, they managed to retreat. Many of those inside the underground base, as well as those lying in ambush, were killed.

By dawn, the fighting had largely ceased. The Blood Slaughter Sect members retreated to their bases, as did the people of the Divine Kingdom. Both sides were tallying their losses.

In reality, the Blood Slaughter Sect’s losses were easy to quantify, and their losses were largely insignificant, since those who died in battle could be resurrected, although they wouldn’t be able to participate in operations again in the short term.

Meanwhile, General Li was also assessing the losses, but the results surprised him. He looked at the person in charge of the statistics and said, “You mean we lost over a million people last night?”

The person replied, “Yes, General. To be precise, the losses exceeded 1.5 million. This is only a preliminary estimate; if we do a more detailed count, our losses could be even greater.”

General Li nodded and then said, “Send letters to the representatives of all the sects and families, informing them to come to a meeting.”

Someone immediately responded and went to fetch them. Before long, everyone arrived at General Li’s base, where General Li was already in the meeting. The council chamber awaited them. Once everyone had arrived, General Li addressed the crowd, saying, “You all know about last night’s attack, but you may not know that we lost over 1.5 million men in just one night. This number is beyond my expectations. I’ve also inquired with the various battle groups, and the Blood Slaughter Sect actually employed a strategy of besieging a point and attacking reinforcements. Therefore, our losses this time are substantial.”

Everyone’s expressions were grave. They had all only tallied their own losses, unaware of the total casualties. So, when General Li announced 1.5 million, they were quite astonished. That was 1.5 million men—such a massive loss!

General Li looked at them and then said, “The reason our losses this time were so great is because we underestimated the Blood Slaughter Sect’s strength and their audacity. They dared to besiege a point and attack reinforcements under these circumstances, showing how confident they are in themselves. And after their success last night, they will definitely continue today. After all, a tactic is good until it’s countered. What are your thoughts? How should we break their tactics?”

Hearing General Li’s words, everyone’s expression changed. Then, one cultivator spoke up, “They didn’t actually gain much advantage, but our losses were indeed greater than theirs, so…” “They will still attack tonight. What we need to do is to make their losses greater than ours tonight.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. His words were essentially meaningless, but they reflected the truth. Their goal wasn’t to wipe out the Blood Slaughter Sect immediately. A powerful force like the Blood Slaughter Sect couldn’t afford to fail repeatedly. They only needed to minimize their own losses. The Blood Slaughter Sect already had fewer members; as long as their losses were smaller, the Blood Slaughter Sect’s numbers would gradually decrease. Once their numbers were reduced to a certain level, they could launch a full-scale attack.

The elder glanced at the others and then said, “They might not use the ‘besieging a point to attack reinforcements’ tactic again today. Since they used it yesterday, we’ll be even more cautious today, so they won’t use that tactic again. Therefore, their attack today will likely focus on our bases, especially those close to the Blood Slaughter Sect’s base. We must be extra careful.”

Everyone nodded again. The elder had finally said something useful. The ‘besieging a point to attack reinforcements’ tactic might work once, but it won’t work every time. This tactic relies heavily on surprise; if you use it one day, it won’t succeed the next. They understand this, and the Blood Slaughter Sect understands this too. Therefore, they probably won’t use this tactic tonight.

Without this tactic, they will definitely attack the bases. Once they enter the bases, the Divine Kingdom’s numerical advantage will be useless. The Blood Slaughter Sect is very aware of their weakness, so they will definitely enter the bases.

The elder continued, “Actually, could we think about it the other way around? If they attack our base, their base defenses will definitely be weak. We can then directly attack their base, and the effect will be very good. Maybe we can even take their base down? Even if we can’t take their base down, the Blood Slaughter Sect army that attacked us will return to reinforce us immediately, and the crisis at our base will be resolved.”
