Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16433

Chapter 16431. Failure

Upon seeing this, Wu Qian immediately shouted, “Pass down the order! Attack with all your might! Be fast!” Everyone responded and went to relay the order. The Shattered Star Swords behind them also increased their speed, crashing into the protective barrier of Wuwei City with all their might.

Unbeknownst to them, on the other side, at a base relatively far from Wuwei City, they were already surrounded by the Creation Golden Wheel and the Thousand Machine Star. The Creation Golden Wheel and the Thousand Machine Star directly appeared above that base. The people inside the base also noticed this, and their attention was completely drawn to the Creation Golden Wheel and the Thousand Machine Star. The Creation Golden Wheel once again emitted golden light, attempting to break through the solidification array of their base, while also releasing a barrier array to seal them away.

Just as the people in that base were preparing to send a message to Wu Qian and his group, their illusionary stone array was suddenly destroyed. They then discovered they could no longer send messages or use the teleportation array. At that moment, they noticed several large holes appearing in their base, leading directly into it from the ground. But that wasn’t all; what truly chilled them was the emergence of countless vines from the ground, attacking everyone in the base, along with blade-like forelimbs.

Now, the people in the base finally understood how Wuwei City had been destroyed. Frankly, facing such an attack, they had absolutely no chance to retaliate. Apart from a few Royal Palace, Royal City, and Kingdom-level experts, the other cultivators couldn’t even handle the vines, let alone dodge the unpredictable, blade-like forelimbs.

However, even those experts couldn’t hold out for long. The Blood Slaughter Sect’s Kingdom-level experts then launched an attack. The Blood Slaughter Sect had more and stronger Kingdom-level experts; facing such an attack, the Kingdom-level experts among them were simply destined to be killed, let alone the Palace-level and City-level cultivators, who were left only to await their deaths.

The base was quickly captured by the Blood Slaughter Sect. Because the Shattering Star Sword and the sect’s most prized magical artifacts had all been transferred away, they took even less time to conquer the base.

After capturing the base, they immediately erected a magic array and connected it to the array on Thousand Lotus Mountain.

Meanwhile, Wu Qian and his group were still attacking Wuwei City, but their expressions were grim. Their Shattering Star Swords were almost exhausted, but the protective barrier around Wuwei City only trembled slightly, showing no sign of being breached.

Just then, Wu Qian suddenly moved his hand, and a jade slip appeared in his palm. This jade slip was the very message his communication array had just received. Wu Qian immediately glanced at the contents of the jade slip, and upon seeing them, his expression turned extremely grim. Just as he was about to give the order, an elder from the base suddenly spoke up: “Retreat.”

Wu Qian was taken aback, then turned to look in the direction of Wuwei City and found that all the Shattered Star Swords they had brought had completed their attack, yet they hadn’t been able to break through Wuwei City’s protective barrier. They had no choice but to retreat now.

Wu Qian immediately said, “Retreat.” After saying that, he took out a jade slip and directly sent a message to the other team, telling them to retreat immediately. Then he led his men in retreat.

Although the Shattering Star Sword is a one-time use offensive magic weapon, it is not a suicide weapon. During an attack, the blade shatters, but the cockpit remains intact. Therefore, all those piloting the Shattering Star Sword survived. This is why Wu Qian and his group suffered minimal losses during their retreat.

Wu Qian quickly returned to Hu Yang City. Upon his return, he immediately summoned representatives from each base to the conference room. The people expected a meeting to summarize the lessons learned from the previous failure, but to their surprise, Wu Qian, after sitting down, immediately asked a general stationed at the base, “Is it confirmed? We’ve lost contact

with Giant Stone City?” Wu Qian had previously ordered all bases to communicate every hour, day and night.

He had received news while they were still attacking Wuwei City that they had lost contact with the Giant Stone City base, hence his urgent inquiry upon his return.

The general responded, “Yes, General. We lost contact with Boulder City an hour ago. We’ve been trying to contact them, but without success. I’ve already sent people from nearby bases to check.” The general’s statement about losing contact

wasn’t just a simple communication array failure; it meant the teleportation array was also unusable. That’s why he sent people from other bases near Boulder City to investigate.

Wu Qian nodded, then turned to look at the representatives from the other bases and said, “As you all know, we’ve lost contact with Boulder City. I think they’re in grave danger. Our operation today has been a complete failure.”

Hearing Wu Qian’s words, everyone’s faces darkened further, but they remained silent. Wu Qian was right; their operation today was a complete failure. They hadn’t captured Wuwei City, and now they had lost Boulder City. What else could this be but a failure?

Wu Qian looked at everyone and continued, “But I think you all know His Majesty’s orders: take Thousand Lotus Mountain at all costs. Even if only one of us is left, the attack cannot stop. My idea is to rest for ten days, have more Shattered Star Swords sent from the rear, and then we can attack again. After all, we’ve already used up all the Shattered Star Swords we have today, so even if we wanted to attack, it wouldn’t be possible.”

Everyone frowned upon hearing this. Then a cultivator spoke up, “General Wu, attacking is no problem, but didn’t we already try today? We can’t break through the enemy’s defensive formation with the Shattered Star Swords. So what should we do next? Continue attacking like this? But this kind of attack is useless.”

Everyone looked at Wu Qian. Yes, their attack was useless. Knowing it was futile, what was the point of continuing? So everyone looked at Wu Qian.

Wu Qian looked at everyone and said, “To be honest, I don’t want to attack like this either, but do we have any other options? If we do, then we’ll use those other methods to attack. If not, then we can only attack like this.”

Everyone fell silent. To be honest, they really had no other options. This was the best attack method they could think of, so when Wu Qian asked this question, they all stopped talking.

Wu Qian looked at everyone and then said, “For the next attack, my idea is that we concentrate everyone together and attack one point of their magic array. No matter how strong their magic array is, if we keep attacking one point, their magic array should be broken, right? What are your thoughts?”

Everyone was silent after hearing his words. After a while, Wu Qian finally spoke, “Breaking through the surface with a single point is the best way to break through a magic array. If even such an attack cannot break the enemy’s magic array, then it proves that with our current strength, we simply have no way to break through the enemy’s magic array. We can only report this matter.”

Everyone responded, and then Wu Qian directly said, “As for the enemy attacking our base, now I…” There’s not much else to do. If all else fails, we’ll have to build another teleportation array outside the base. If the enemy attacks the base, we can use that array to send reinforcements there as quickly as possible to fight back. After all, the enemy might be able to seal the teleportation array inside our base, but they can’t seal the one we set up outside.”

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing Wu Qian’s words. An elder said, “That’s a good idea. We can try it. Anyway, we don’t have any other options right now. The enemy’s attacks are too strong. When they attack, we can’t even send messages out, and the teleportation array is unusable. This is indeed very troublesome.”

Wu Qian nodded and then said, “Then it’s settled.”

Just then, a general… He entered, bowed to Wu Qian, but didn’t speak. Wu Qian said in a deep voice, “What is it? Speak?”

The general immediately said, “There’s news from the Giant Stone City base. The Giant Stone City base has been enveloped by the enemy’s magic array, and that array has already connected with the array at Thousand Lotus Mountain.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Qian’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately said, “How is this possible? How long has it been? They’ve already built the magic array? That’s too fast! It’s impossible!”

The general said, “It’s a message sent back by a disciple who went to investigate. We can guarantee that the message is true.”

Wu Qian’s face turned extremely grim. At this moment, an elder from another base spoke up, “General Wu, I think this might be… ” “It’s related to the Golden Wheel of Creation.”

Wu Qian was taken aback, then turned to look at the elder and asked, “You mean the enemy used the Golden Wheel of Creation to set up a magic array, connecting their array to the one at Thousand Lotus Mountain?”

The elder replied, “That’s possible, but the person in charge of this must be a master of magic arrays. When they set up the array at Thousand Lotus Mountain, they should have left a backdoor specifically connecting our various bases. If they can capture our bases, they can immediately use the Golden Wheel of Creation to set up their own array and connect it to the one at Thousand Lotus Mountain. This is entirely possible, but in that case, the person in charge of building the array must be a top-tier master of magic arrays.” (End of Chapter)
