Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15872 Preparation
Song Xing glanced at the people below, and seeing that everyone nodded, a smile appeared on his face. He then said, "If everyone agrees, we can also raise our hands to vote."

After hearing his words, everyone nodded and then raised their hands. Seeing that everyone had raised their hands, Song Xing nodded in satisfaction and returned to his seat.

Yuanjue stepped to the center once more and said, “It’s certainly feasible for everyone to discuss and decide together how to attack. So let’s settle this matter. Now let’s discuss the next thing: if we really manage to take over the Hell Gate Domain and the Nine Yang Immortal Palace Domain this time, how should we distribute the spoils after the war? Let’s all share our thoughts on that.”

Everyone was taken aback by Yuanjue's words, and then they all fell silent. This was a sensitive topic, as it involved interests, and no one dared to speak carelessly.

Yuanjue glanced at everyone, understanding their thoughts. He smiled slightly and said, "I know that once this topic comes up, things get complicated. So let me share my thoughts first. My idea is very simple: fairness, absolute fairness. If we win, if we defeat the people of Hell Gate and take over both the Hell Gate Domain and the Nine Yang Immortal Palace Domain, then our five sects will jointly send people to assess all the benefits of these two domains. Then, we will divide these benefits equally into five parts, with each domain receiving one part. As for how each domain will divide these benefits back in its own domain, that's up to each domain's sect. What do you all think?"

Yuanjue's words surprised everyone. Then they all nodded. Yuanjue's suggestion seemed like nonsense. If the five regions were to send troops together, the spoils would naturally be divided equally. This suggestion seemed unremarkable, but it was also the most necessary. Once this matter was settled, there would be no conflict between the people of the different regions when it came to distributing the spoils.

Yuanjue glanced at everyone and then said, "If everyone agrees, then this matter is settled. Does everyone agree?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Seeing their agreement, Yuanjue nodded and said, "Alright, since everyone agrees, that's settled. Now let's discuss another matter: how to deploy our troops. As I just mentioned, although we have two sects fighting alongside us at Hell's Gate, these two sects are now likely under Hell's Gate's control and are no longer trustworthy. If we attack Hell's Gate through them, the most likely outcome is that Hell's Gate has set traps there, waiting for us to arrive. If that's the case, we'll be in danger. Therefore, we must attack Hell's Gate directly." "We absolutely cannot let those two sects know. On the contrary, we can spread some false information to confuse them, giving them false intelligence. We will enter Hell Gate's territory directly through the passage and attack the various sects in Hell Gate's domain. We won't attack Hell Gate itself, but rather some other sects. Once those sects know we attacked them, they will definitely want to save their sects or seek revenge. However, Hell Gate may not agree to this. This could create conflict among them, which would be advantageous to us. Once they fall apart, it will be much easier for us to deal with them."

After hearing his words, everyone nodded. Zheng Heng then spoke again, "I think that after our attack, each of our regions must strengthen our defenses. We can attack the people of Hell's Gate through the passage, and the people of Hell's Gate may attack us through the passage. Therefore, our defenses must be strong, and we cannot let them find any loopholes. What do you all think?"

Upon hearing his words, everyone nodded again in agreement. Yuanjue also nodded and said, "I agree with that as well."

Zheng Heng didn't say anything more, while Yuanjue glanced at everyone and then said, "If everyone agrees to this action, then this matter is settled. Everyone can go back and prepare the manpower. Eighty kingdom-level experts, two thousand royal city-level experts, and forty thousand royal palace-level experts from each region, plus twenty large magic weapons. I wonder how long it will take for everyone to prepare these manpower?"

The group exchanged glances, and then Zheng Heng said, "A month should be enough."

After thinking for a moment, everyone nodded. Yuanjue said in a deep voice, "One month. If everyone agrees, then it's settled." Everyone nodded again, and no one objected.

Yuanjue said, "Alright, then everyone come to our Prajna Temple to gather a month from now. The shortest distance from here to the Gates of Hell is from here. Everyone come here to gather, and then we'll set off together. How about that? No problem, right?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that there was no problem. Yuanjue glanced at everyone and then said, "Alright, then this matter is settled. I think this meeting can end here. We will hold a banquet today to celebrate the success of this meeting. After the banquet, everyone can go back to make preparations. See you in a month."

None of the people were good at small talk. They all nodded, stood up, bowed to each other, and left the conference room. After they left, Yuanjue finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then glanced at Yuanming and the others who were walking over and said, "It's a success. After today's banquet, let's make preparations immediately. We'll be heading to the Gates of Hell in a month. We've already wasted quite a bit of time. This month must be set; we can't delay any longer."

Yuanming and the others all agreed, indicating their agreement. A month was indeed a must; they couldn't delay any longer, as this would put them at a greater disadvantage in their attack. That evening, a banquet was held at Prajna Temple, but the people from various sects only ate a token amount; no one actually ate anything. Afterward, they all went back to rest. The next morning, everyone from each region returned home. Zheng Heng, of course, also returned to the Fire God Sect. Upon their return, Zheng Heng instructed the representatives of each sect in the Fire God Domain to immediately return to their respective sects to prepare. A month was all they had to prepare.

Zheng Heng then went directly to find Zhu Huoshan, who was waiting for him. As soon as he saw Zheng Heng return, he immediately asked, "How did it go?"

Zheng Heng immediately told Zhu Huoshan about their discussion at the Prajna Temple. After listening to Zheng Heng, Zhu Huoshan nodded and said, "It's not bad. It seems they really want to attack the Gate of Hell. A month is enough time for us to prepare. You should make the allocation immediately. List out how many troops each sect should send and send it to each sect. Also, make sure to mark it and make it clear to them that how many troops they send will affect the distribution of benefits. If any sect doesn't want to send too many troops, they can also tell us and we will make adjustments. Of course, the distribution of benefits after the war will also need to be adjusted. In short, it's all about fairness, fairness, and fairness."

Zheng Heng responded, and Zhu Huoshan nodded. Then, Zhu Huoshan waved his hand, and Zheng Heng bowed to Zhu Huoshan before turning and leaving. After Zheng Heng left, Zhu Huoshan was thinking about who they needed to send to lead the attack. It was fine to have Zheng Heng lead the attack when negotiating the defection, but when it came to actual combat, Zheng Heng could not lead the attack. They needed to send someone with strong combat capabilities and good command skills.

Thinking of this, Zhu Huoshan suddenly remembered someone, and he immediately said, "Someone come here." As soon as he spoke, a disciple walked in, bowed to Zhu Huoshan, and said, "Sect Master."

Zhu Huoshan said, "Go and invite Elder Zhuge here." The disciple responded, then bowed to Zhu Huoshan and turned to leave.

A moment later, the disciple led in a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. This man was very tall, probably over 180 cm, with a well-proportioned figure, a handsome face, eyebrows that reached his temples, and three strands of black beard. Although he was over forty, he still looked heroic and extraordinary.

This person is named Zhuge Qingsong, a Kingdom-level expert of the Fire God Sect. He is also one of the younger Kingdom-level experts in the sect. Although he is young, his strength is extraordinary. Moreover, he is extremely intelligent. Not only does he cultivate very quickly, but he is also skilled in the art of formations. He is also very good at commanding battles. Zhu Huoshan attaches great importance to this operation, which is why he called Zhuge Qingsong over.

Upon seeing Zhu Huoshan, Zhuge Qingsong bowed to him. Zhu Huoshan nodded and then said, "Junior brother has arrived. Please sit down."

Zhuge Qingsong responded and sat down opposite Zhu Huoshan. Zhu Huoshan thought highly of Zhuge Qingsong, and their relationship had always been good. After Zhuge Qingsong sat down, Zhu Huoshan said, "Junior brother, I think you can probably guess why I called you here this time. I plan to put you in charge of the army. The entire army of our Fire God Domain will be entrusted to you. What do you think?"

Without hesitation, Zhuge Qingsong said in a deep voice, "Please rest assured, Senior Brother, I will do my best."

Zhu Huoshan was quite satisfied with his answer. He nodded, then glanced at Zhuge Qingsong and said, "What I mean is, this time your operation should not only preserve our own strength as much as possible, but also weaken the strength of other sects. In recent years, it seems that those sects have been trying to unite, which is absolutely unacceptable. So I hope you can weaken their strength as much as possible, and of course, it's best not to let them find out. How about it? Can you do it?"

Zhuge Qingsong thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Senior Brother, I will definitely do it."

Zhu Huoshan nodded, and then he said, "Our Fire God Sect has developed very quickly in recent years, and people from other sects probably feel that we are developing too fast, so they want to unite against us. We have to be on guard."
