Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16429

Chapter 16427 Retreat

After seeing General Wu’s letter, Wu Qian thought for a moment and then immediately replied. His letter contained only two orders: first, that General Wu and his men immediately send men to check the situation at the strongholds surrounding Wuwei City to see if they had also been destroyed; second, that they launch an attack on Wuwei City and assess the results.

Wu Qian was fully aware of what had happened in Wuwei City, but he wouldn’t tell anyone. His two orders were essentially a ploy to let General Wu and his men discover the true strength and danger of the Blood Slaughter Sect for themselves.

General Wu quickly received Wu Qian’s letter. After reading it, he immediately addressed the representatives of the other bases, saying, “General Wu has written. He wants us to first check the surrounding strongholds to see if they’ve been occupied by the Blood Slaughter Sect. Second, we need to attack Wuwei City.”

Everyone nodded. Then, a representative from one base said, “Let’s go check them out right away. As for Wuwei City, we’re not far from it, but it’s been shrouded in an illusion array by the Blood Slaughter Sect. We only know its approximate location. However, Wuwei City is quite large; we just need to attack in that direction. But it’s best if we attack together to avoid attacking our own people.”

Everyone nodded, and General Wu nodded as well. He then said, “Alright, let’s move out now. I’ll arrange for people to check those strongholds immediately.” After saying that, General Wu immediately arranged for people to go and check the situation at those strongholds.

After making these arrangements, General Wu turned to the others and said, “The rest of you, come with me to attack Wuwei City. Remember, stay far away from Wuwei City and don’t fall for their illusion array.” Everyone responded, and then they all took to the air, following General Wu towards Wuwei City.

General Wu flew forward, observing his surroundings. After a while, he suddenly shouted, “Stop! Everyone, stop!” His voice was very loud, and everyone heard him and stopped. General Wu glanced around and then said, “We should still be about ten miles from Wuwei City. We can’t go any further; if we go any further, we might enter the enemy’s illusionary formation.”

Everyone stopped. General Wu looked around again and then said in a deep voice, “Everyone, with me as the center, spread out slowly from top to bottom. We need to form a three-dimensional formation, so that as many people as possible face Wuwei City.”

Everyone understood his meaning and immediately directed their men to form a three-dimensional formation facing the direction of Wuwei City. In this way, they were like a high wall standing on the outskirts of Wuwei City, directly facing the city.

General Wu had been observing the surroundings. Once he saw everyone was ready, he spoke, “Good, everyone ready? Then listen to my command! Everyone, use your strongest attack methods! Target: ten miles ahead! Prepare! Three, two, one! Attack!”

With his command, everyone unleashed their strongest attacks. Most used magical artifacts, while others used spells. Their target was the area ten miles away, which currently appeared to be just a forest—nothing there—but everyone firmly believed that a city lay there.

The next moment, all the magical artifacts and spells struck the forest. Just as the attacks landed, the forest rippled strangely, like the white screen in an old-fashioned movie being moved, causing the entire scene to flicker.

Then, the forest vanished instantly, revealing the true face of Wuwei City. Everyone was stunned, for Wuwei City had completely changed. Previously, it had been attacked by the Blood Slaughter Sect, destroying many buildings, but it had been rebuilt. Now, however, few buildings remained, and large holes appeared in the ground. There wasn’t a single person in sight, not even a corpse.

What surprised them even more was that many large magical artifacts hovered in the sky above Wuwei City. Among them was the Golden Wheel of Creation, but others were large artifacts they had never seen before. These artifacts looked extremely strange, resembling large spheres covered in tentacles, making them appear even more bizarre.

While they were still stunned, they saw all the massive, spherical magical artifacts point their tentacles at them, startling everyone. The next moment, both the Creation Golden Wheel and the spheres unleashed spells, especially the spheres, where each tentacle tip released a spell. These spells rained down on the cultivators.

The cultivators from the Divine Kingdom were all taken aback; they hadn’t expected this. They immediately tried to dodge,

but their three-dimensional battle formation was too large, and there was nowhere to hide. They were surrounded by people, and any attempt to dodge would result in collisions. Furthermore, the spells released by the Blood Slaughter Sect’s massive magical artifacts were simply too powerful to dodge. Therefore, they were forced to defend, but some chose to attack the spells, hoping to detonate them prematurely.

Some spells were indeed detonated, but many others didn’t even detonate and simply fell into their formation. If those spells had targeted the area where kingdom-level experts were located, it wouldn’t have been so bad; those experts could have easily destroyed them beforehand. However, if the spells targeted the area where ordinary disciples were located, the situation was dire. The ordinary disciples had no way to destroy the spells and were directly struck into the formation, resulting in countless deaths.

Upon seeing this, General Wu’s eyes turned red. This was his first time commanding a large army against the Blood Slaughter Sect, and so many people had died. Even if he returned, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to Wu Qian. This was entirely a mistake in his command; he shouldn’t have attacked Wuwei City in this way.

However, General Wu knew that now was not the time to think about such things. The Blood Slaughter Sect’s second attack was imminent. He immediately shouted, “Attention all Kingdom-level experts! Attack together! Attack those large magical artifacts! We can’t let them use magic to attack us anymore!”

The Kingdom-level experts also knew that they couldn’t let the Blood Slaughter Sect continue attacking like this, otherwise their losses would be too great. Thinking of this, they all responded and released their magical artifacts, attacking the large magical artifacts.

But at this moment, Wuwei City disappeared from their sight once again, turning into a forest once more. General Wu was stunned, then overjoyed. The Blood Slaughter Sect’s illusion array had been restored. Did that mean that the Blood Slaughter Sect would no longer attack them?

But clearly, he was overthinking it. Wuwei City being covered by the illusion array again did not mean they would not attack them. The next moment, countless sword energies suddenly flew out from Wuwei City. These sword energies actually converged, forming a long river of sword energy, which rushed towards their army.

However, due to the previous magical attacks, countless large holes had appeared in their formation, allowing the disciples to take cover.

But this time, the river of sword energy was simply too vast, and many disciples still wouldn’t be able to dodge it. General Wu immediately shouted, “All disciples retreat! Kingdom-level experts, attack together to block the river of sword energy, retreating as you block!”

Everyone immediately understood his meaning. Ordinary disciples certainly couldn’t block this river of sword energy, but these kingdom-level experts could, though not for too long. So they had to retreat while blocking, quickly reaching a safe distance. After all, the Blood Slaughter Sect’s river of sword energy couldn’t keep chasing them indefinitely; their attacks also had a limited range.

The kingdom-level experts didn’t back down. After all, they were all supreme elders of their respective forces, and behind them were disciples from their families or sects. If they didn’t help their disciples block the river of sword energy, then their disciples would be the ones to die. So, without hesitation, they stepped forward and unleashed their strongest attacks, charging straight at the river of sword energy.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of loud explosions followed. Because General Wu hadn’t given unified command this time, the experts’ attacks occurred at different times, resulting in varying speeds. Soon, the advance of the river of sword energy was halted.

General Wu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered, “Quickly, retreat! Retreat immediately!” Everyone responded and retreated.

General Wu retreated while shouting, “Everyone, split up and retreat! Those at each base, return to your bases!” Everyone responded, and then the army scattered with a roar. Each person used their unique abilities to disappear in an instant. The disciples understood perfectly why General Wu was doing this; he had no choice. There were so many large magical artifacts in Wuwei City, and if they didn’t retreat immediately, they wouldn’t be able to escape once the Blood Slaughter Sect attacked.

General Wu then flew directly towards one of the strongholds in Wuwei City. He wanted to send a message to the disciples he had sent to those strongholds before he left, informing them of the retreat.

However, General Wu didn’t fly very fast. He kept a close watch on his surroundings as he flew, worried that the strongholds might also be covered by the Blood Slaughter Sect’s illusion array. If that were the case, finding those strongholds would be very difficult. (End of Chapter)
