Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16434
Chapter 16432. Plans
“So, not only did our operation fail to breach Wuwei City, but we also lost all the Shattered Star Swords, and the Blood Slaughter Sect retaliated, destroying the Giant Stone City base? And they even set up a magic array connecting Giant Stone City to the one at Thousand Lotus Mountain?” Gongliang Juewen stared grimly at the eunuch reporting to him. He was sitting in the main hall, along with Qingxuan and the others, all looking ashen-faced.
The eunuch didn’t dare breathe. Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen’s question, he immediately knelt on the ground, his head pressed against the floor, large beads of sweat streaming down his face, but he dared not utter a word.
Looking at him, Gongliang Juewen suddenly shouted, “Get out!” The eunuch responded and scrambled out of the hall.
Gongliang Juewen closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then looked up at Qingxuan and the others before speaking, “You’ve all heard it. It’s truly unexpected that this will happen. Wu Qian’s attack plan wasn’t wrong, but the Blood Slaughter Sect’s defensive array exceeded our expectations. Now that you all know the situation, tell me what we should do next.”
No one spoke. Just then, another eunuch entered. He approached Gongliang Juewen, holding a jade slip in both hands, and raised it… The eunuch stood before Gongliang Juewen, who looked at the jade slip and asked, “Whose is this?”
The eunuch cautiously replied, “Your Majesty, it’s General Wu’s latest memorial.”
Upon hearing this, Gongliang Juewen raised an eyebrow, took the jade slip, carefully examined its contents, and placed it on his desk. He then glanced at Qingxuan and the others before speaking, “Wu Qian said that the reason they failed to capture Wuwei City this time might be because their attack points were too scattered. He plans…” “After ten days of rest, we’ll gather another batch of Shattered Star Swords and attack Thousand Lotus Mountain again. This time, we plan to concentrate all the Shattered Star Swords to attack a single point in Thousand Lotus Mountain’s magic array, using a point-to-surface approach to break the array. If this still fails to break the Blood Slaughter Sect’s array, then we’ll truly be out of options. What are your thoughts on Wu Qian’s plan?”
Qingxuan and the others were taken aback, then frowned. Qingxuan spoke up, “Your Majesty, it seems this is the only way for now. Let’s hope they succeed, but it won’t be easy. When they attacked Wuwei City, they attacked from two hundred directions. Their attacks were already very concentrated. Even under these circumstances, they couldn’t break through the Blood Slaughter Sect’s array. I doubt they’ll be able to break through it again next time.”
Qingxuan remained relatively calm. He felt Wu Qian’s method seemed useless. They failed to attack Wuwei City from two hundred directions today; would they succeed by focusing on a single point next time? Not necessarily, so Qingxuan wasn’t optimistic about Wu Qian’s attack.
Wan Hai then spoke up, “Currently, we don’t have any good solutions, so we can only let General Wu try. But besides attacking, what about defense? The Blood Slaughter Sect has attacked us twice, and each time they managed to capture our base. Let’s not even talk about whether we can break through the magic array at Jihe Mountain; how to defend our base is the most important thing, isn’t it?”
Gongliang Juewen pointed to the jade slip and said, “It also mentions that he plans to build another teleportation array outside all our bases. Because the Blood Slaughter Sect is used to using barrier arrays to seal our bases when they attack, then not only will our bases be unable to communicate, but the teleportation arrays will also be unusable. He plans to build a teleportation array outside the bases so that if a base is attacked, reinforcements can quickly arrive at the base through that teleportation array and then attack the Blood Slaughter Sect from the outside.”
Wan Hai nodded and said, “That’s a good idea; I think it’s feasible.”
Qingxuan and the others also agreed . Everyone nodded, and Gongliang Juewen continued, “Ever since we discovered the Shattering Star Sword, we seem to have become complacent in this area. We thought the Shattering Star Sword would be enough to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect, but now it seems that won’t work. The Shattering Star Sword’s attack power is sufficient against those who possess the Creation Golden Wheel, but it’s not enough against magic arrays. We still need a magic weapon that can break magic arrays. Everyone, go back and think of a way. Also, breaking magic arrays doesn’t necessarily require magic weapons. If there are other methods to break magic arrays, that’s fine too. Everyone, go back and look for ways to break magic arrays.”
Everyone responded, and Gongliang Juewen then said, “Alright, go back now. Remember, the forging of the Shattering Star Sword cannot stop. After all, Wu Qian and the others still need a large number of Shattering Star Swords.” Everyone responded, and Gongliang Juewen waved his hand. Then, everyone stood up, bowed to Gongliang Juewen, and left the hall.
After everyone had left the main hall, Gongliang Juewen murmured, “Is this the consequence of opposing a sect? It truly inspires despair.” Gongliang Juewen felt utterly hopeless. He hadn’t expected the Blood Slaughter Sect’s attacks to be like this. They were like people wielding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other. You attack them, they block with their shields, and you can’t break through their shields at all. Then they counter with a spear, and you can’t stop their attack either. They advance step by step, slowly forcing you into a corner. This is the most terrifying aspect of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s attack.
These past few days, whenever Gongliang Juewen had time, he would go to the Blood Slaughter Sect to study. He had learned about how the Blood Slaughter Sect fought. The Blood Slaughter Sect had too many battle examples; he had reviewed all of their past battles. He knew that the Blood Slaughter Sect’s actions were always based on stability, seemingly without anything special—just advancing step by step and then engaging the enemy in a final battle. There was really nothing special about it. When he saw the Blood Slaughter Sect’s battles, he had secretly laughed at their overly conservative tactics, which lacked any innovation.
However, when Gongliang Juewen stood in the shoes of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s enemies and saw their tactics, the sense of frustration that rose from within him was truly indescribable. He now completely understood how those Blood Slaughter Sect’s enemies felt. To be honest, if he weren’t a disciple of the Blood Slaughter Sect, his feelings would be ten times worse than they were now. The Blood Slaughter Sect’s offensive methods were truly too frustrating and too despairing.
Fortunately, he was a disciple of the Blood Slaughter Sect, so he quickly adjusted his mindset. He was well aware that Wu Qian’s operation this time was unlikely to succeed. If the Blood Slaughter Sect’s formation was so easy to break, then the Blood Slaughter Sect would not have survived until now. He just wanted to know how the Blood Slaughter Sect would attack next.
“Five days from now, we will launch another attack on the first line of defense of the Divine Kingdom. This time, our target is here, Dongtian City. Once we take it, we can take over the first line of defense in a short time. Because once we take Dongtian City, we will have three nodes on the first line of defense, and these three nodes are extremely important. These three nodes can form a Three Talents Formation. At that time, the entire first line of defense will be covered by this formation. Then, even if the people on the first line of defense want to escape, they won’t be able to. We can easily take over the first line of defense. Although this will cause a shock in the Divine Kingdom, what does it matter? Isn’t that what we’ve been doing all along? So, five days from now, we will attack Dongtian City.”
Chang Jun looked at the crowd below and announced their next target. Everyone responded, their expressions showing excitement. Chang Jun looked at the crowd and continued, “I…” “We’ve received word that the Divine Kingdom will launch their attack on us in ten days. However, ten days is enough time for us to set up the Three Talents Formation. Therefore, our attack five days from now must capture Dongtian City; this is crucial for our next move.”
Everyone responded. Chang Jun continued, “Right now, the Divine Kingdom doesn’t know we have the Heavenly Vine and the Alien Insect Clan. They still don’t know how we captured those two bases. However, they’ve decided to set up another teleportation array outside the bases. So when we attack Dongtian City, we’ll be facing an external attack. Everyone must be careful about this.”
Everyone responded. Chang Jun then waved his hand and said, “Alright, everyone go back. I’ll give you five days to prepare, and then we’ll attack.” Everyone responded, then stood up, saluted Chang Jun, and turned to leave.
After everyone left, Chang Jun stood up and went outside. He was now at the underground base in Wuwei City, which had been transformed into a base resembling an underground city. Chang Jun was at the city’s center.
The underground base was now completely different, covered in vegetation that emitted a soft white light, looking far superior to the base built by the Divine Kingdom.
This was quite normal. How many underground bases had the Blood Slaughter Sect built? Far beyond what the Divine Kingdom could match. The Blood Slaughter Sect had previously hollowed out an entire realm’s underground for battles, let alone this kind of base. Therefore, in underground warfare, the Divine Kingdom’s experience was no match for the Blood Slaughter Sect. It could be said that from the very beginning, the Divine Kingdom had chosen the wrong location to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect.
Ironically, the Divine Kingdom had learned this underground base model from the Blood Slaughter Sect. They copied the Blood Slaughter Sect’s underground base construction and then thought they could use it against the Blood Slaughter Sect—how naive! (End of this chapter)
