Bringing the farm to another world

"Third, the size of the area is also very important. We should try to find some large sects or large cities, because that is our base. We will send people there. If the area is too small, where will our people live? Moreover, if the area is too small, it will be almost impossible to upgrade the defensive array. So the area cannot be too small."

"Fourth, are the earth veins or water veins sufficient? We are going to fight the enemy, and the pressure on the defensive array will be enormous. If the earth veins or water veins are not strong enough, they will not be able to support a large enough array. If there is no large enough array, it will be very troublesome to block the enemy's attack. Therefore, the strength of the earth veins and water veins must also be taken into account. Take all these points into account before choosing a location."

Everyone responded in unison, then they stared at the map again. Gongliang Juewen then spoke up, "Let's talk about which places must be abandoned. All the abandoned places can have their flags removed. It will be clearer that way." The two eunuchs agreed, and everyone began pointing at the map. Many small towns and sects were abandoned, and the number of flags on the map quickly decreased until only less than a thousand flags remained. These flags were all located in very important positions.

These small flags are not in a straight line; they have depth. This was chosen by those people. Now they feel that they can't reduce them any further. If they reduce them any more, their defenses might be breached. So they all stopped talking and just frowned as they stared at the map.

Gongliang Juewen looked at them and then said, "Does everyone think that there's no way to reduce it any further? If you all think so, then we'll decide to make these places our bases."

After discussing for a while, everyone agreed to use those places as their base. Then Gongliang Juewen started discussing again, suggesting that Zhenyu Sect take the lead, along with the Lu family, who were also famous for their magic arrays, and the Jiangzuojian. Actually, Jiangzuojian was called Jiangzuojian, but it was called Jiangzuojian for the sake of sounding better. They specialized in making things and setting up magic arrays, but they only served the royal family.

Gongliang Juewen asked the three families to cooperate and quickly compile a list of supplies to strengthen the defenses of those bases.

After arranging this matter, Gongliang Juewen began to arrange how much supplies each of them should contribute. At this time, all the families and sects had to contribute supplies. Everyone had to contribute supplies. This was wartime, and Gongliang Juewen certainly wouldn't be polite to them.

Once it was determined how much supplies and soldiers each family would contribute, and which areas each family would be responsible for relocating, and all matters were arranged, the group finally departed.

After everyone left, Gongliang Juewen called General Sun to his study. After they sat down, Gongliang Juewen said to General Sun, "Do you think our current arrangement is good? We've really not held back at all, which is most beneficial to the current situation, but it's not a good thing for the sect."

General Sun said, "Tell Elder Chang about our arrangements and let's hear what he has to say."

Gongliang Juewen was taken aback, then nodded. He immediately sent a projected call to Chang Jun, which was quickly answered. Chang Jun appeared in front of the two men, who bowed to him. Chang Jun returned the bow and asked, "What is it?"

Gongliang Juewen then told Chang Jun everything that had been discussed in their meeting that day. After listening to them, Chang Jun nodded and said, "That's good, very good. Let's arrange it this way, so they won't suspect you."

Gongliang Juewen responded, then asked, "Elder Chang, will this arrangement have any impact on the sect?"

Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen's words, Chang Jun burst into laughter and said, "It has no impact whatsoever. You did a great job. Such a matter has no effect on the sect."

Upon hearing Chang Jun's words, Gongliang Juewen felt relieved. Chang Jun looked at Gongliang Juewen and then said, "Remember this: you are now the emperors and generals of the Divine Kingdom. Everything you do must be for the benefit of the Divine Kingdom. Just tell me your final decision. As for other matters, do what you need to do. Don't worry about the sect."

Gongliang Juewen responded, and then they ended the call. After they hung up, Gongliang Juewen turned to look at General Sun and said, "It seems that the sect really doesn't take our arrangements seriously."

General Sun nodded, then sighed softly, "To be honest, I actually wanted to use this opportunity to let the sect see our strength, to let the sect members know how capable we are. The more sophisticated our arrangements, the more the sect would respect us. But it seems the effect isn't very good; the sect doesn't care about our arrangements at all." Gongliang Juewen smiled bitterly, "You should also know the sect's strength. With the sect's strength, do you think they would care about our arrangements?"

General Sun gave a wry smile, then let out a long breath and said, "It seems that once we really enter the sect, we can only be ordinary elders. That's fine too, as we'll have more time to cultivate in the future."

Upon hearing this, Gongliang Juewen simply smiled and said nothing. To be honest, he didn't have much interest in being an ordinary elder. Frankly, he was really tired of being an emperor, having to constantly scheme against powerful families, sects, the Creation God Cult, and the military. Such a life was truly unbearable, and he had long since stopped wanting to live like that.

However, he had no way to change the situation because he could not back down. He knew very well that if he did back down, the entire Gongliang family would suffer. The Gongliang family had a large population, and if they really collapsed, it wouldn't just be him who died. So he could not back down.

It's important to understand that the struggles within the Divine Kingdom are quite different from those within the Blood Slaughter Sect. While the Blood Slaughter Sect's disciples can be resurrected and there's little internal conflict within the sect, the struggles within the Divine Kingdom are truly life-or-death battles. If the Gongliang family were to lose in such a struggle, the entire Gongliang family would likely perish.

Although the Gongliang family was considered a member of the aristocratic families, from the moment they became part of the royal family, an insurmountable chasm separated them from the other aristocratic families. They were now enemies, no longer allies.

That is why Gongliang Juewen could not retreat; to retreat meant death. Therefore, he had to fight and struggle, and there was no other way.

But he had long been tired of this kind of life. For him, it would be a good thing to be an ordinary elder who could live a peaceful life without having to worry about anything or the family.

The two then spoke for a while longer before General Li left. Gongliang Juewen went to the window, opened it, and looked at the sky outside. After a while, he sighed softly, closed the window, and returned to his study to deal with the documents in his hand.

Meanwhile, after Qingxuan and the others returned, they immediately dispersed. They had to go back and make some arrangements, such as relocating ordinary people to the rear, sending troops to the front line, and preparing supplies. They had to handle everything as soon as possible. Most importantly, many small sects along the Qianhe Mountain line also had to be relocated to the rear. After all, there were only a few hundred relatively large sects left at the front line, and the other small sects still had to be relocated to the rear.

There are also various supplies and personnel to allocate. They will be busy for a while, after all, the enemy they are facing this time is not simple and cannot be easily dealt with.

The situation was the same for the aristocratic families. They had to relocate the people from those small towns, and they also needed to allocate manpower and resources. All of this required their attention, and they were very busy.

Chang Jun and his group didn't attack them directly just because they weren't prepared. That would be blatantly admitting they knew their plan and preemptively striking. Besides, there was no need for them to preemptively attack. The Divine Kingdom's arrangements seemed excellent; they had created a defensive line, abandoning most cities and smaller sects, concentrating all their forces in major cities and sects, turning them into fortresses. However, this arrangement was utterly useless against the Blood Slaughter Sect. Would the Blood Slaughter Sect care about such arrangements? Absolutely not. Even if Gongliang Juewen and his group weren't from the Blood Slaughter Sect, they wouldn't care about such arrangements; in fact, they would be happy. They wouldn't care if the Divine Kingdom concentrated all its forces for a decisive battle, let alone prepare for a gradual attack like this. There was absolutely no need to worry.

The Divine Kingdom abandoned most of the smaller sects and cities, relocating their people and concentrating its forces on the major cities and sects. This was actually a good thing for the Blood Slaughter Sect, as it allowed them to focus their efforts on dealing with the major cities and sects, saving them a lot of trouble. Therefore, Chang Jun was genuinely unconcerned about the Divine Kingdom's arrangement and was even quite happy about it, as it saved them a lot of trouble.

As for the upgrades to the defensive arrays of those major cities and sects, Chang Jun was even less concerned. He already knew the level of the arrays here in the Divine Kingdom. Even if they upgraded their defensive arrays, it wouldn't matter at all to the Blood Slaughter Sect. What level were the Blood Slaughter Sect's arrays? What level were their arrays? If the Blood Slaughter Sect's arrays couldn't deal with their most primitive planar arrays, then everyone in the Divine Mechanism Hall should just find a block of tofu and kill themselves. Therefore, Chang Jun truly didn't care about the Divine Kingdom's arrangements; he had absolute confidence in the Blood Slaughter Sect. (End of Chapter)
