Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16416

Chapter 16414 Retreat

The sect leader’s words made everyone nod in agreement. In fact, they had already understood that Gongliang Juewen also wanted to retreat from Qianhe Mountain. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said that retreating from Qianhe Mountain would be very passive; instead, he would have directly refused to retreat. So his attitude was quite clear.

It was precisely because they discovered Gongliang Juewen’s attitude that the sect leader dared to say that. Was he right? Both yes and no. If they really withdrew their forces, they could leave several bases at Qianhe Mountain. After all, their strength was not weak; they not only had many kingdom-level experts but also many sect-protecting treasures. If they concentrated all these treasures, it would be very difficult for the Blood Slaughter Sect to break through their bases. So, from this perspective, the sect leader was wrong.

However, there is another problem they need to solve: morale. General Li’s prestige at the front line is still very high. Although they had suffered several defeats at the first line of defense, the responsibility for those defeats did not lie with General Li. Therefore, General Li held a high position in the hearts of the cultivators at the front line. Now that he has died in battle, it is a great blow to those cultivators. Under such circumstances, if the Blood Slaughter Sect attacks too fiercely next time, the cultivators at the front line may collapse directly. So from this point of view, what the sect leader said is not wrong.

Gongliang Juewen glanced at the others and then spoke, “Does everyone think the same way? If everyone agrees with this approach, then we can order them to retreat to the first line of defense. Does anyone have any objections?” Everyone

shook their heads. Gongliang Juewen nodded and continued, “Last time, the Blood Slaughter Sect attacked fifty of our bases simultaneously. It’s certain they have one hundred Creation Golden Wheels, but they only have fifty of their sect’s most prized magical artifacts. If we send more artifacts to the front lines, wouldn’t that be enough to stop the Blood Slaughter Sect’s attack?”

Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen’s words… Everyone nodded in agreement. At this moment, Qingxuan spoke up, “Your Majesty’s words make sense, but we must also be careful. The Blood Slaughter Sect can mass-produce Creation Golden Wheels, which means their quantity might increase at any time. Besides that, there’s their sect’s most prized artifact. We’ve been fighting the Blood Slaughter Sect for so long now, we should understand their style. The Blood Slaughter Sect doesn’t unleash all their powerful weapons at once, just like the Creation Golden Wheel. When they first used it, they didn’t…” “They’ll send out all the Creation Golden Wheels right now. I’m worried it’ll be the same this time. They probably have more than fifty of their sect’s most treasured magical artifacts; we need to be prepared for that.”

His words startled everyone. Gongliang Juewen said seriously, “That makes sense. The Blood Slaughter Sect’s style has always been like this. We must be careful.”

Everyone nodded. Gongliang Juewen continued, “Then we’ll send more of our sect’s most treasured magical artifacts to the front lines. If everyone has no objections, then it’s settled.” “

Everyone responded. Gongliang Juewen continued, “Those who retreated from Qianhe Mountain will be directly incorporated into the first line of defense, under the unified command of Wu Qian. The rest will be handled by Wu Qian.”

Everyone nodded. Gongliang Juewen glanced at everyone and then said, “We also need to think carefully these days about how to defend the first line of defense. The Blood Slaughter Sect’s experience isn’t useless. Could we send people to set up some land-stabilizing arrays on the first line of defense? Wouldn’t that give us an advantage in future battles? Oh, and illusion arrays too.”

Everyone nodded. Liang Juewen began, “The Blood Slaughter Sect’s array formations seem far superior to ours. Therefore, we must make our first line of defense even more impenetrable. Our current advantage lies in our superior numbers, our numerous sect treasures, and the fact that our first line of defense has been in place for a considerable time. These are our strengths. The Blood Slaughter Sect’s advantages lie in their array formations, their Creation Golden Wheel, and their shape-shifting protective shield. What we must do now is make our first line of defense even stronger, making it even harder for them to breach. Only in this way can we hold onto our first line of defense.”

At this point, Gong Liangjue… Suddenly, Wen spoke up, “Sect Master Wen.”

Wen Jing immediately stepped forward, and Gongliang Juewen continued, “At the key nodes of our first defensive line, how long will it take to establish a land-solidification array and an illusion array? What materials are needed? Also, what kind of array should we use? Could you tell us?”

Everyone looked at Wen Jing. Wen Jing pondered for a moment, then said, “For the array, we can use the Illusion Stone Array. This is an illusion array that combines land-solidification techniques, similar to the array used by the Blood Slaughter Sect, but its power might be greater. The Blood Slaughter Sect wants to make the array movable.” Therefore, they created a large array plate and then used array flags to set up this kind of magic array. The advantage of this method is that setting up the array is very convenient, and because array flags are used, the array can be set up as long as the environment is similar. However, this also has a problem: the power of the array will be limited to a certain extent. If we set up this kind of illusionary stone array, we can use array symbols to set up the array directly in the underground base. The disadvantage of this method is that the array cannot be moved, but the advantage is that the power will be greater. As for what is needed to set up this kind of array, it is array symbols, and they must be large. “The size of the array runes is important. As long as we have the runes, setting up this kind of array isn’t actually that difficult. We just need to dig out a large, flat space at the bottom of our current base, and then place the array in that space. That’ll be fine, and it will be done quickly.”

Upon hearing this, Gongliang Juewen immediately said, “Great! That’s wonderful! Go back and research it now. See what size array runes you need. We’ll start refining them right away. Everyone will participate this time, and we’ll definitely refine the array runes you need in the shortest possible time. The task of setting up the array is entrusted to you.”

Wen Jing quickly replied, “This is what I should do.”

Gongliang Juewen glanced at the others and then said, “Although we have given up on Qianhe Mountain, we must still set up sentries around its perimeter. We must be informed immediately if the enemy launches an attack.”

At this moment, Wan Hai spoke up, “Your Majesty, I believe that setting up sentries around Qianhe Mountain is meaningless.”

Upon hearing this, Gongliang Juewen looked at Wan Hai with some confusion and then asked, “Oh? Why do you say that?”

Wan Hai said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, the enemy’s large magical artifact is the Creation Golden Wheel, and the Creation Golden Wheel… ” “It can transform into various kinds of magic arrays and also has the ability to become invisible. Our sentries cannot detect the Creation Golden Wheel after it becomes invisible. Therefore, I said that there is no point in setting up sentries on the outskirts of Thousand Lotus Mountain.”

Gongliang Juewen thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “That makes sense. Then we will not set up sentries on the outskirts of Thousand Lotus Mountain. Everyone should retreat to the first line of defense. Alright, everyone go back and prepare. Wenjing, tell us the dimensions of the array talisman as soon as possible.” Wenjing

responded, and Gongliang Juewen waved his hand. Everyone stood up, bowed to Gongliang Juewen, and then left the hall.

After they left, Gongliang Juewen directly gave orders to the people at Thousand Lotus Mountain, instructing them to retreat to the first line of defense and to be under Wu Qian’s command. At the same time, he also sent a letter to Wu Qian, informing him of what had happened at Thousand Lotus Mountain and asking him to deal with those people.

Of course, Gongliang Juewen also informed Chang Jun of this news. Chang Jun was very happy because this meant that Qianhe Mountain was now completely in their hands.

Soon, everyone at Qianhe Mountain received Gongliang Juewen’s order. Upon seeing that they were to leave Qianhe Mountain, Elder Chen and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. They hadn’t dared to leave Qianhe Mountain before because they didn’t have orders from above, but to be honest, they really didn’t want to stay there. The Blood Slaughter Sect could attack them at any time, and if they stayed, they would be waiting to die. So they had wanted to leave for a long time, but to leave, they needed orders from above. If they left on their own, Gongliang Juewen might use that as an excuse to deal with them, and they didn’t want to be dealt with. So they had no choice but to stay. However, they were also determined that if the Blood Slaughter Sect really attacked them, they would run away immediately and would not stay to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect to the death.

Elder Chen had already ordered another passage to be built beneath their base, leading directly to the outside of the mountain they were on. If the Blood Slaughter Sect attacked, they could escape directly through this passage; they didn’t want to stay there and wait to die.

Gongliang Juewen and the others’ previous guesses were all correct. The morale of the Divine Kingdom cultivators at Thousand Lotus Mountain had plummeted to its lowest point. The slightest disturbance could cause them to collapse. If they were truly allowed to defend Thousand Lotus Mountain to the death, they might be routed the moment the Blood Slaughter Sect attacked. Therefore, retreating from Thousand Lotus Mountain was the most sensible choice.

After receiving the order, Elder Chen immediately notified those in their base to pack their belongings and retreat. However, he didn’t retreat through the normal entrances and exits of the base, but directly through the escape passage they had prepared beforehand. They suspected that the normal entrances and exits of the base had been targeted by the Blood Slaughter Sect, and they feared that retreating through the normal entrances and exits would result in being hunted down by the Blood Slaughter Sect.
