Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16421

Chapter 16419 Retreat

But this wasn’t the end. The second Shattering Star Sword then crashed directly into the Creation Golden Wheel. Boom! Another deafening roar! The Shattering Star Sword exploded upon impact with the Creation Golden Wheel, but the explosion created a large hole in it. The Creation Golden Wheel flickered twice, then plummeted to the ground. Clearly, it was damaged and unusable.

Upon seeing this, the people of the Divine Kingdom cheered. At the same time, the other Creation Golden Wheels were also attacked. This was the first time these Creation Golden Wheels had encountered such an attack. In addition, five of the ten Creation Golden Wheels were using magic to try to break through the ground of Wuwei City, while the other five were using a barrier formation to trap the people of Wuwei City and prevent them from escaping. Therefore, they were caught off guard. So when the Shattering Star Swords attacked them, the Creation Golden Wheels could not use magic to attack the Shattering Star Swords. They could only set up defensive shields. However, the Shattering Star Swords were specifically designed to deal with this situation. So the ten Creation Golden Wheels all had the same command and were all shot down from the sky.

However, before the Creation Golden Wheel even hit the ground, countless Blood Slaughter Sect disciples flew out of it. These disciples didn’t gather together; instead, they scattered and fled. Even those Blood Slaughter Sect disciples possessing sect-protecting treasures all ran away.

Elder Huang hadn’t expected the Shattering Star Sword to be so powerful, destroying ten Creation Golden Wheels in one fell swoop. His preparations were somewhat inadequate; at the very least, he hadn’t given the order to attack immediately after the Creation Golden Wheels were destroyed. So, when he saw the Creation Golden Wheels destroyed and the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples fleeing, it was too late to order them to attack. By the time the people from the Divine Kingdom emerged from the underground base, the Blood Slaughter Sect members had long since vanished.

Elder Huang was filled with regret, but he didn’t have a good solution. However, he soon received news that their strongholds outside the city had also been attacked by the Blood Slaughter Sect. Those strongholds didn’t have the Shattering Star Sword or the Illusion Stone Array, so the people there could only flee.

Fortunately, the strongholds had escape routes built into their underground structures, so none of the people inside perished; they all escaped. The Blood Slaughter Sect didn’t gain any advantage. On the contrary, they lost ten Creation Golden Wheels in Wuwei City, a significant loss.

Elder Huang immediately reported this to Wu Qian and also informed his family. After dealing with these matters, Elder Huang began to address the strongholds. Only then did he realize that the Blood Slaughter Sect intended to completely take over their territory. Their simultaneous attack on Wuwei City and the strongholds was a plan to turn the entire area into their domain.

Unfortunately, they failed and suffered a loss in Wuwei City. Elder Huang believed that the Blood Slaughter Sect’s attackers at those strongholds had already retreated. Without capturing Wuwei City, taking those strongholds was pointless.

He ordered those who had escaped from the strongholds to return and check if the Blood Slaughter Sect had indeed retreated. Although reluctant, the stronghold members returned and confirmed that the Blood Slaughter Sect had indeed left, putting their minds at ease.

While Elder Huang was dealing with these matters, he received a letter from Wu Qian, summoning him to a meeting in Huyang City. Elder Huang guessed it was about this matter, so he quickly arranged his tasks and went directly to Huyang City. When

Elder Huang arrived, he found representatives from other aristocratic families and sects, as well as representatives of independent cultivators, all already there; he was the last to arrive.

Elder Huang, somewhat embarrassed, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wu Qian and said, “I’m sorry, General Wu, I’m late. Please forgive me.”

Wu Qian smiled slightly and said, “No need to be polite. I know you must be very busy after a great battle. It’s normal to be a little late. Please sit down.” Elder Huang responded and then sat down.

After he sat down, Wu Qian addressed the crowd, saying, “I’ve invited everyone here today because of the attack on Wuwei City. I think you all know about this, but some of you may not know the results. Let me tell you about them. The results were excellent. We destroyed ten of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s Creation Golden Wheels, and we also proved that the Shattering Star Sword and the Illusion Stone Array are indeed very effective. Elder Huang, please tell us about the battle.”

Elder Huang responded and then began, “At first, I didn’t expect the Shattering Star Sword to be so powerful, so my preparations were somewhat inadequate…” Elder Huang then recounted his command process to everyone, continuing until they failed to catch up with the enemy.

When everyone heard Elder Huang say that they hadn’t been able to catch up with the Blood Slaughter Sect members, they couldn’t help but sigh. After Elder Huang finished speaking, Wu Qian looked at him and said, “Elder Huang, your command this time wasn’t actually the problem. The main issue was your lack of understanding of the Shattering Star Sword. In fact, not only you, but we didn’t understand it either. So if we were in your position, the result would probably be the same. Don’t overthink it.”

Elder Huang responded. Wu Qian then turned to look at the others and continued, “Although the Blood Slaughter Sect retreated today, they now know about the Shattering Star Sword and the Illusion Stone Array. Next time they come…” “When we attack, they might be on guard. If they are, what should we do? Have you all thought about that?”

Everyone was taken aback by his words, then they all frowned. Elder Huang said, “There’s something I must remind everyone. When the Blood Slaughter Sect attacked Wuwei City, they deployed ten Creation Golden Wheels. Five of them used earth-based magic on Wuwei City, and the other five used a barrier formation to cover it. This was to prevent us from escaping. But similarly, if our people are outside the base, trying to enter the base, or trying to attack their Creation Golden Wheels from outside the base…” “The Golden Wheel of Creation is not an easy target, even with the Shattering Star Sword. Therefore, I think it’s best to keep our Shattering Star Swords at the base. That way, we can attack the Golden Wheel of Creation directly from there, which might be more effective.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, then they all nodded. At this moment, another elder spoke up: “They also sent the Golden Wheel of Creation to attack those strongholds, which means that their operation this time was actually aimed at occupying the area around Wuwei City. However, they suffered losses at Wuwei City, and their attempt to occupy those smaller strongholds has already…” “It’s pointless, so they left.”

Everyone nodded, and the elder continued, “Could we also place some Shattering Star Swords at those strongholds? If we have Shattering Star Swords at those strongholds, we can leave all those Creation Golden Wheels behind.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up at his words, and they all nodded. Wu Qian then said, “That’s a good idea. Right now, all the sects and families are refining Shattering Star Swords, producing many every day. Moreover, the Blood Slaughter Sect lost so many Creation Golden Wheels this time; they should be able to replenish them in a short time.” “They won’t attack us again. By the time they come back, we’ll have plenty of Shattered Star Swords. Distributing some to those strongholds will be no problem at all. I think that’s good.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Then another elder spoke up, “And then there are the sect’s most treasured magical artifacts. These are incredibly powerful, but the enemy also possesses them. We need to be wary of their sect’s most treasured magical artifacts. Elder Huang did a great job this time, anticipating their use of this tactic and preparing accordingly. We must be mindful of this next time we face the Blood Slaughter Sect.”

Everyone nodded. Wu Qian nodded, then continued, “And those strongholds… those strongholds don’t have the Illusion Stone Array, and although there are some experts there, they’re no match for the Blood Slaughter Sect’s army. So, inform the people at those strongholds that even if they’re given the Shattering Star Sword, if they find themselves no match for the Blood Slaughter Sect, they should retreat. Don’t fight them head-on; they can’t win.” Everyone

agreed, and Wu Qian then said, “From this incident, it’s clear that the Blood Slaughter Sect is preparing to attack us, and this attack is quite different from previous ones…” Similarly, when they attacked the first line of defense before, it was purely for destruction and killing; they didn’t intend to capture it. But this time, their attack is aimed at capturing Wuwei City. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have attacked the surrounding strongholds. This means their offensive strategy has changed; they’re no longer attacking for destruction, but for capture. This change is not good for us. If they capture Wuwei City, they can use it as a base to continue their attacks on us. If we let them capture Wuwei City… The defenses on the first line of defense will be weakened, which will have a huge impact on us. Therefore, we absolutely cannot let them occupy Wuwei City, and not just Wuwei City, but every single point on the first line of defense. Even if they do occupy it, we must fight with all our might to take it back. If we don’t fight with all our might to take it back, then the entire line of defense will slowly be devoured by them. At that time, we will be truly finished, and we will all become sinners of the Divine Kingdom. I think none of you want that, right? So this time, no matter where they attack, we must provide full support and absolutely cannot let them succeed.”
