Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16411
Chapter 16409: The Attack
Upon hearing the elder’s words, General Li and his men were all taken aback, but then their eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea. Thinking of this, General Li turned to look at the others and asked, “What do you all think?”
Everyone nodded in agreement. This was indeed a good idea. If they attacked the Blood Slaughter Sect’s base while the Blood Slaughter Sect attacked their base, the Blood Slaughter Sect would definitely come to their aid, and then the crisis at their base would be resolved. This was indeed a good idea.
However, at this moment, an elder spoke up, “I don’t think that will work.”
His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone’s heads. Everyone turned to look at the elder who had spoken, wanting to hear what he had to say.
The elder glanced at everyone and then said, “We attacked the Blood Slaughter Sect’s base before. To be honest, although we managed to enter their base and lost many men, I wonder if you noticed something.” He paused here and looked at everyone.
Everyone looked at him, puzzled, unsure of his meaning. They truly didn’t know what else they had missed.
The cultivator looked at everyone and continued, “You should all have noticed something: from the moment we attacked the Blood Slaughter Sect until now, we haven’t seen many members of the Blood Slaughter Sect. They have so many bases; each base should have a considerable number of people. But from the moment we attacked their bases until they were breached, we haven’t seen many of their people. Furthermore, considering the design of their bases, have you noticed something? Their bases don’t actually need many people to defend them.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Then their expressions changed drastically. The elder was right. From the moment they attacked the Blood Slaughter Sect’s bases until they withdrew, they indeed hadn’t seen many members of the Blood Slaughter Sect.
If the Blood Slaughter Sect truly doesn’t need many people to defend their base, then their previous plan is useless. Their plan, frankly, was a strategy of “besieging Wei to rescue Zhao,” but if they can’t conquer Wei, or if Wei has sufficient troops to defend it, can they still rescue Zhao? Clearly not.
Thinking of this, General Li’s face darkened. At this moment, the elder who had spoken said, “Now we must treat Thousand Lotus Mountain as a battlefield. Don’t overthink it; we can only fight them head-on. We have a numerical advantage, an advantage that can’t be shown in the Blood Slaughter Sect’s base, but we can utilize it in our own. We don’t need much preparation; just fight them head-on. They can’t withstand a life-for-life exchange. What do you all think?”
General Li and the others were all silent. After a long while, General Li finally spoke, “That’s right, we don’t need much preparation; just fight them head-on.” “Yes, our base doesn’t use land-stabilizing magic, so we can leverage our numerical advantage. Furthermore, when we go to support the base, we don’t necessarily have to attack through our own entrances. We can use magic to break through the base’s soil and enter directly. That way, we can deal with those Blood Slaughter Sect members directly. We’re going to trade our lives with them.”
Everyone nodded. General Li glanced at them and then said, “Everyone, go and prepare. We’ll wait for the Blood Slaughter Sect to attack.” Everyone responded again, then bowed to General Li before turning and leaving.
Meanwhile, Chang Jun and his team were holding a meeting. Chang Jun glanced at everyone and then said, “I think there’s a problem with our previous approach to attacking the Divine Kingdom. We need to change our thinking.”
Everyone looked at Chang Jun, who continued, “There are too many people in the Divine Kingdom. If we try to force them out of Thousand Lotus Mountain by causing casualties, that obviously won’t work. The Divine Kingdom will just send more people, which is too slow. My idea is that we should just occupy their entire base. What do you think?”
Everyone immediately understood his meaning. Xu Ying said, “Uncle Chang, you mean that once we occupy their base, we should hold it and gradually push them out of Thousand Lotus Mountain?” Everyone looked at
Chang Jun, who nodded in agreement. “That’s right, that’s what I mean. Tonight, when we attack again, we’ll attack their base directly. Once we take their base, we’ll send the Creation Golden Wheel there and use the Earth Solidification Technique on their base. That way, we can hold their base.”
“If that’s the case, then using only the Earth Solidification Technique won’t be enough. We’ll also need to use an illusion array. And to avoid arousing suspicion from the people of the Divine Kingdom about our array techniques, we can create some large array plates composed of Earth Solidification and illusion techniques. We can then place these array plates directly in the base. That way, even if they find out, they won’t be able to do anything to us, and they won’t suspect anything. As for what kind of illusion array to use, that’s actually quite simple. We can just use the Stone Forest Illusion Array.” An elder said. This elder was one of the people sent by the Divine Mechanism Hall to help Chang Jun.
Upon hearing this, Chang Jun immediately asked, “How big of an array plate do we need for an underground base?”
The elder thought for a moment, then said, “For the array plate, a diameter of three zhang is sufficient, plus one hundred and eight array flags. This is the simplest array formation technique.”
Chang Jun nodded and said, “I won’t concern myself with the array formation; I’ll leave it to you. You handle it. Tonight, we need to let the people of the Divine Kingdom see our array formation. Can you do it?”
The elder nodded and said, “That’s easy. Leave it to me.”
Chang Jun nodded and said, “Alright, everyone go and prepare. We’ll continue our operation tonight. Tonight’s target is one hundred bases of the Divine Kingdom.”
Everyone was taken aback, then all responded. They immediately went to prepare, while the disciple from the Divine Mechanism Hall went to prepare the array plate and array flags.
Using array plates and array flags to set up an array was a method the Blood Slaughter Sect hadn’t used for many years. To them, this method of array formation was truly primitive, but in order to prevent the people of the Divine Kingdom from suspecting them and from knowing their true level of array formation, this method still had to be used.
The Blood Slaughter Sect used to have many array plates and flags, but they were all later stored in the Reality Illusion. The reason for storing so many primitive items was to prepare for unforeseen circumstances where these things might be needed. Therefore, they stored all sorts of array plates and flags. These things didn’t even need to be made now; they could simply be retrieved from the Reality Illusion.
The elder of the Divine Mechanism Hall found these array plates and flags in the Reality Illusion and immediately exchanged them for one hundred sets. He then distributed them to all the captains of the action teams participating in tonight’s attack, explaining how to use them. This was incredibly simple for the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples.
After learning that they were ready, Chang Jun breathed a sigh of relief. They then waited for nightfall. Although both sides were now out in the open and could have acted during the day, daytime would have been more advantageous for the Divine Kingdom. After all, on the surface, the Divine Kingdom had more people than the Blood Slaughter Sect, putting the Blood Slaughter Sect at a disadvantage. The weaker side would naturally make the most of all available resources, which is why they chose to attack at night. At night, the attack would, to some extent, even out the strength of both sides.
It wasn’t until Hai hour (9-11 PM) that the Blood Slaughter Sect finally made their move. This time, their operation was extremely discreet; even the people from the Divine Kingdom who had been watching them didn’t notice. They all used illusion arrays, and this time they also used the Creation Golden Wheel. Their Creation Golden Wheel slowly flew out of their base. Because they used earth-based magic and illusion arrays, the enemy didn’t detect the use of the Creation Golden Wheel. The Blood Slaughter Sect disciples all entered the Creation Golden Wheel, so the people from the Divine Kingdom didn’t detect their operation.
When everyone arrived above the Divine Kingdom base they were going to attack, Chang Jun, inside the Creation Golden Wheel, first asked everyone about their situation. He shouted, “Is everyone ready?”
“Ready!” everyone answered in unison.
Chang Jun nodded and then said, “Remember, when we attack, Creation Golden Wheel, first release earth-based magic to create a large hole, over ten zhang wide, directly in the center of their base. Once the hole is open, everyone should attack their base immediately. However, the first group to enter must be kingdom-level experts, carrying array plates and array flags. After entering, they should immediately set up the magic array. Creation Golden Wheel should use an illusion array outside to hold off enemy reinforcements. Once the magic array inside the base is set up, Creation Golden Wheel should immediately withdraw the magic array and leave. The rest of you just need to completely capture their base.” “This time, we’re not just going to take over their hundred bases, but also let the people of the Divine Kingdom see us setting up the magic array. Do you all understand?”
Everyone responded, and Chang Jun nodded. He then glanced at the time and shouted, “Everyone, get ready! Three, two, one, begin!”
With his command, the Creation Golden Wheels revealed their true forms, and beams of earth-yellow light shot out from them, striking the mountaintops. The soil on the mountaintops rippled upon encountering the yellow light, then scattered in all directions, revealing a large hole on the mountaintop leading directly to the enemy’s base.
