Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16333 A Contingency Plan

That's how it is for ordinary people. In the face of the tides of the times, ordinary people are really nothing. Some people say that a speck of dust in the era becomes a mountain when it falls on a person. The Lu family is the same. They may seem to be a family with some status, but in the face of the general trend of the world, they are really nothing.

The Lu family patriarch returned to the family with a gloomy expression. As soon as he arrived, he immediately summoned all the Lu family's stewards to the council hall.

Soon, everyone from the Lu family arrived. Once the Lu family patriarch saw that everyone had arrived, he spoke up: "I just received news from the city lord that His Majesty has decided to abandon our city. Everyone in the city will have to be moved to the rear."

Upon hearing what the patriarch said, the Lu family members' expressions changed, followed by an uproar. They never expected that the Divine Kingdom would make such a decision.

However, they quickly noticed the expression on the face of the Lu family patriarch, and their voices gradually quieted down. The Lu family patriarch looked at them and snorted coldly, saying, "What kind of people are you? You haven't even finished listening to the story, and you're already making a fuss. You have no composure at all."

The Lu family members all lowered their heads, none of them daring to speak. The Lu family patriarch looked at them and then said, "Those ordinary people will be sent to safe places in the rear, but we can't. Although His Majesty has abandoned small towns like ours, some large cities or major sects have not been abandoned. They have become nails, ready to be driven in there. We will be sent to those major sects and satellite cities on the outskirts of those major cities to garrison. Once the enemy comes, we will report to those major cities or major sects."

The Lu family members' expressions changed immediately. They opened their mouths, about to speak, but suddenly remembered their ancestor's words, and none of them dared to utter a sound. They were not fools; they knew very well what this kind of garrisoning represented. They were the kind of sentries placed in the open, and the enemy would eliminate them first when they came. People like them were cannon fodder.

Upon seeing their reaction, the Lu family patriarch nodded in satisfaction and then said, "I know what you're thinking. You're right. We are just cannon fodder, and we can't escape now because all the teleportation arrays in the city are no longer usable. At the same time, the army has sealed off the city and will not let anyone out."

The Lu family members' faces completely changed. They knew all too well what this meant. It meant they had no chance. They had no chance to leave the city. The Lu family was probably doomed. So, they all looked ashen-faced, and their eyes were filled with blankness.

Looking at their expressions, the Lu family patriarch snorted coldly and said, "Things haven't reached a dead end yet. I still have a backup plan, but I can't tell you about it now. I'll tell you after we get to the camp. Go back immediately and pack up everything you can take from the family. Once the order comes from above, we'll set off immediately."

Upon hearing what the ancestor said, everyone was taken aback at first, but then they immediately became excited. They responded in unison and went to make preparations.

As the Lu family patriarch watched their retreating figures, a struggle flashed across his face, but it ultimately turned into a look of madness. He muttered, "Since we're all going to die anyway, we might as well take a gamble." With that, the Lu family patriarch turned and went back to his room.

On the third day, the city lord's mansion sent someone again to invite the Lu family patriarch to a meeting. The Lu family patriarch knew that it must be an order from above. He went to the city lord's mansion immediately. Sure enough, the order from above had come down. The Lu family was assigned to a new garrison. This garrison was originally a market town, but all the people in that market town had been withdrawn. The Lu family was to go there to garrison.

This market town is relatively close to a major sect and not far from a large city. It is located between the major sect and the large city, serving as an early warning point. In a sense, this place is like a beacon tower.

The Lu family patriarch immediately accepted the order, returned to the Lu family, and set off with his people. The teleportation array had already been set up with the coordinates, and the Lu family members were immediately transported to the market town after boarding the teleportation array.

This market town isn't very big; it only has a little over a hundred houses in total. The market town is surrounded by walls, and there are many houses outside the walls. Inside the walls, all the houses are shops. It used to seem quite lively, but now there's not a single person left.

It's not that there's no one here. There is one person in this market. He's dressed in a black samurai outfit, and it's impossible to tell who he is. As soon as he saw the Lu family members appear, he walked over, glanced at them, and finally fixed his gaze on the Lu family patriarch. Then he said, "Lu Linguang?"

The Lu family patriarch responded, "It is indeed I." The man nodded and said, "The Lu family is ordered to guard this place. No member of the Lu family is allowed to leave the market area. At the same time, every hour, we must use these two communication arrays to report that we are safe and sound. There must be no mistakes. If we fail to report, we will be punished." As he spoke, the man took out two communication arrays and handed them to Lu Linguang.

Lu Lingguang quickly took the two communication arrays, then bowed to the person and said, "Yes, I've got it."

The man nodded and then said, "If you complete this mission well, your Lu family will prosper after this is over. Do a good job, and remember to report back every hour. Don't miss a report."

Lu Lingguang responded, and the man nodded. Then he took off and flew away into the distance. Lu Lingguang glanced at the situation and then turned to the Lu family and said, "Find a place to settle down immediately. We'll probably be living here for a while."

The Lu family members immediately responded and then went to find a place to settle down. There were quite a few people in the Lu family, so it was impossible for them all to be teleported over at once. It took three teleportations to complete the process.

When the last group of Lu family members arrived, they noticed that a cultivator had come with them. They assumed the cultivator had something to discuss with the Lu family, so they didn't ask any further questions. After they arrived at the market, the cultivator waited until all the Lu family members had left the teleportation array, then placed something inside the array and teleported away.

Just as the Lu family was puzzled, the teleportation array suddenly exploded with a loud bang, and the entire teleportation array was destroyed. Only then did the Lu family realize that the person had come specifically to destroy the teleportation array here.

They immediately glanced at the other teleportation arrays in the market and found that they had all been destroyed. This meant that if they wanted to leave the market, they could only do so by flying, not by using the teleportation arrays.

The Lu family immediately informed Lu Lingguang of the news. Lu Lingguang didn't say anything, but simply nodded and said, "I understand. Go down. Remember, keep a close eye on everyone in the family. No one should leave the market area. If I'm not mistaken, there are definitely other sentries around the market area to monitor us. If anyone in our family leaves, they will report it immediately. At that point, our Lu family will be finished. Staying might mean a slim chance of survival, but leaving means certain death. Do you understand?"

The Lu family members' expressions all changed. Some of them had previously considered letting some members of the family escape, but now, after hearing what Lu Lingguang said, they knew that they could no longer let any members of the family leave.

The Lu family members quickly settled down in the market. Then, Lu Lingguang summoned all the Lu family managers together. After everyone arrived, Lu Lingguang looked at the Lu family members and said, "As I said before, I have a backup plan. Although this backup plan is nothing special, it is at least something we can try to take a chance on."

The Lu family members all looked at Lu Lingguang with hopeful eyes. Lu Lingguang looked at everyone, then moved his hand and said, "The backup plan I mentioned is this." The next moment, a statue appeared in front of everyone, and when everyone saw the statue, their expressions changed, because the statue was none other than a statue of the God of Creation.

The Creation God Cult used to be a divine cult, but now they have been eliminated, and it was the royal family that led the elimination. In other words, the Creation God Cult is now an illegal organization. If the Divine Kingdom finds out that there are members of the Creation God Cult there, it will definitely wipe them out.

If the higher-ups found out that they had a statue of the God of Creation here, the Lu family would be finished. So when the Lu family members saw the statue, their expressions all changed.

Looking at the Lu family members, Lu Lingguang continued, "Few people know that I used to be friends with a bishop of the Creation God Cult. He asked me to join the Creation God Cult, but I didn't agree. This statue of the God of Creation was a gift from him. Later, the Creation God Cult had a problem, and he died, but I didn't throw it away. I kept it. In my opinion, the Creation God Cult did nothing wrong. It's just that the royal family no longer needed them, so they had to eliminate them. Therefore, I don't think there's anything wrong with the Creation God Cult."

The Lu family members remained silent, their eyes still fixed on the statue. Lu Lingguang, observing their expressions, continued, "Why was the Creation God Sect destroyed by the royal family? First, because their strength was too great, creating a sense of crisis for the royal family. Second, because the Myriad Laws God Sect emerged, the royal family felt a force had appeared to replace the Creation God Sect, so they had to eliminate them. Third, because the Creation God Sect made a mistake: they mass-produced a group of Kingdom-level experts. This was a capability of the Creation God Sect, one that no other force possessed, and it was the capability the royal family feared most. The Creation God Sect's use of this capability crossed the royal family's bottom line, so the royal family had to eliminate them. And for the Lu family now, this is an opportunity, their only chance to survive." Having said this, Lu Lingguang glanced at the Lu family members. (End of Chapter)
