Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16257 The Acropolis
"Absolutely not! We've done so much before, and the royal family hasn't touched us. But as soon as we allied with the sects, the royal family immediately targeted us. And have you forgotten what His Majesty said? His Majesty said that the sects are our common enemy. If we allied with the sects now, it would definitely anger His Majesty, and he might directly deal with us then." Wan Hai immediately objected; he would absolutely not agree.

Upon hearing Wan Hai's words, everyone agreed that they made sense and stopped saying anything. One of the family heads spoke up, saying, "Then we can only rely on ourselves to deal with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect. It seems that all we can do now is to have everyone strengthen their defenses; there is no other way."

Everyone nodded. Wan Hai looked at them and then said in a deep voice, "Everyone should go back and prepare. Also, inform those families who attacked the Myriad Laws Sect earlier to be careful." Everyone responded, then stood up and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hai was also talking to Xu Ying. Looking at Xu Ying, Zhao Hai continued, "Remember this: we still need to attack those aristocratic families, especially those that attacked us before. We must deal with them. After we've dealt with those families, we'll negotiate with the aristocratic family alliance. The core message is simple: we need to make it clear to them that we're going to build temples throughout the Divine Kingdom. They can't attack us without reason anymore. We want to coexist peacefully with them. If they want to fight, we can fight; if they want to coexist peacefully, we can coexist peacefully."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Xu Ying and the others all responded. Zhao Hai continued, "After dealing with those aristocratic families, our next target is those sects. Chang Jun and his group are dealing with those sects in secret, while we will deal with them openly. Didn't those sects previously join those aristocratic families in attacking us? It wouldn't be right if we didn't retaliate against them. So we must attack those sects and let them know how powerful we are. Moreover, by doing this, we are also attracting everyone's attention. Everyone will be watching. They won't expect that Chang Jun and his group are still dealing with those sects behind the scenes."

Xu Ying and the others nodded again, and Zhao Hai continued, "We've been preparing these past few days, dealing with each family one by one." Xu Ying and the others responded once more.

Zhao Hai then waved his hand, and Xu Ying left Zhao Hai's room. After Xu Ying left, Zhao Hai moved and appeared in Chang Jun's office the next moment.

Chang Jun is currently in a sect, which has now become the Blood Slaughter Sect. When Zhao Hai appeared in front of Chang Jun, Chang Jun was stunned for a moment. Then he immediately stood up, bowed to Zhao Hai, and said, "Young Master."

Zhao Hai nodded, then asked, "I came to see what you've been up to. How's it going? How's it progressing lately?"

Chang Jun immediately invited Zhao Hai to sit down before speaking, "The progress is going smoothly, but it's a bit slow. After all, there are just too many sects in the Divine Kingdom, which is giving me a real headache."

Zhao Hai thought for a moment, then asked, "What's your current approach? Are you slowly pushing forward, taking over city by city, and then eliminating all the sects surrounding each city? Is that right?"

Chang Jun nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly how it is. This has always been how the sect has always done things, so this time we're doing it the same way."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "This approach can't be called wrong, but it can't be called right either. We are now in the Divine Kingdom. Although there are many cities in the Divine Kingdom, each city is a gathering place for various forces. If we want to take a city, we need to prepare for a long time to ensure that there will be no problems, which will also delay our attack speed."

Chang Jun nodded and said, "That's true. Even in small cities, there are many forces, such as small families, city lords, the military, and the industries of various forces. All these forces gather in those cities, making the situation in the cities very complicated. Moreover, whether it is a large family or a small family, they will prepare some secret passages and the like when they are in the city. Once something happens, they will think about escaping through the secret passages. If we want to attack a city, we must first find out all of these things, then block them all, and then concentrate our forces to take the city. The preparation time is indeed very long."

Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "We must hurry. It's not that we're in a rush, but this kind of attack is just too slow. Our original method was good, but it's not suitable for the Divine Kingdom. We've been here for so long, haven't you noticed any problems?" Chang Jun looked at Zhao Hai with some confusion and asked, "What does Young Master mean?"

Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "Although the Divine Kingdom is said to have several major forces, such as the royal family, the military, the aristocratic family alliance, and the sect alliance, let's leave the royal family and the military aside for now and talk about the aristocratic family alliance and the sect alliance. Have you noticed that both the aristocratic family alliance and the sect alliance have one thing in common? That is, these two alliances are all controlled by the strongest aristocratic families or sects. The ordinary aristocratic families or some small aristocratic families sometimes don't even have the qualifications to sit at the table. Some small aristocratic families are wiped out, but they don't even cause any waves. What does this mean?"

Chang Jun wasn't stupid. Zhao Hai had already said so much, and he immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. He immediately said, "Young Master, are you saying that no one cares about the lives of those minor families or sects?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right. As for those minor families or sects, not many people really care about their lives unless there's a compelling reason to care, such as using their deaths to make a fuss. Otherwise, not many people care about their deaths. On the contrary, their annihilation frees up a lot of profit, which will become food for others. Why don't the major families or sects care about these minor families or sects? The reason is actually quite simple: these minor families and sects are weak and not united, so of course there's no need to care about them."

Chang Jun understood Zhao Hai's meaning and immediately said, "I understand, young master. You mean that those people from small families and sects, although they seem to be in the family alliance and sect alliance, are actually just there in name only. Do those big sects and families really care about them? They don't care at all. This is our opportunity!"

Seeing that he understood, Zhao Hai smiled and said, "That's right, this is our opportunity. Those small families and sects are indeed weak in practice, but what if they really unite? Would they still be weak? No, not at all. But no one has ever truly united them. The family alliance and the sect alliance have never really valued them, which is why they haven't tried to unite them. But if we turn them all into our own people, we will gain a huge strength. What they don't value, we value. When they want to truly unite these forces in the future, they will find that those people have all become our people. At that time, even if they want to fight us, they probably won't have the qualifications."

Chang Jun nodded. Zhao Hai looked at him and smiled slightly, saying, "You've learned a lot from following Wen Hai all these years, but you've never been able to stand on your own. Now that everything here is in your hands, you're being a bit conservative. What are you afraid of? Even if we were to go to war with the Divine Kingdom right now, we would be the ones to win in the end. There's nothing to worry about, so there's no need to be so cautious."

Chang Jun responded somewhat embarrassedly; he had indeed been overly cautious. Zhao Hai smiled slightly at Chang Jun's expression and then asked, "By the way, how are those people from the Creation God Sect doing?"

Chang Jun seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and he immediately said, "By the way, young master, I was just about to tell you about this. It turns out that the Creation God Cult has more than just a few people. They have quite a few people, and those people are not here in the God Kingdom, but in the garrison city outside the God Kingdom."

Upon hearing Chang Jun's words, Zhao Hai nodded in agreement. He had considered this point. The Divine Kingdom Continent was an immense continent, but it was not limited to just that. Beyond the Divine Kingdom Continent, there were also some guard cities, each the size of a normal continent in other domains. These continents were inhabited. They were relatively independent, but because they were too close to the Divine Kingdom, they had to obey the orders of the Divine Kingdom. Of course, under normal circumstances, the Divine Kingdom would not give them orders; they were independent entities.

These continents are called acropolises because they weren't originally outside the Divine Kingdom Continent. Instead, during the Divine Kingdom Continent's most powerful period, many experts from the continent moved them from other places, placing them like satellites around it. The purpose of this was to protect the Divine Kingdom Continent should an enemy attempt to attack from the outside. Even if they couldn't stop the enemy's attack, they would still serve as an early warning system. That's why these continents are called acropolises.

Previously, the Creation God Cult was the state religion of the Divine Kingdom, and the Divine Kingdom allowed them to preach. The City of the Creation God Cult had always maintained contact with the Divine Kingdom. Although the Divine Kingdom's management of the City of the Creation God Cult was not very strict, their influence over the Divine Kingdom was still enormous. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai had long suspected that the Creation God Cult would definitely preach in the City of the Creation God Cult. They must have people in the City of the Creation God Cult, and their influence there might even be greater than it was in the Divine Kingdom. After all, the Creation God Cult had some reservations in the Divine Kingdom, but in the City of the Creation God Cult, they had far fewer reservations.
