Bringing the farm to another world

Everyone understood Gongliang Juewen's meaning. Gongliang Juewen's meaning was very clear: he could accept the surrender of those traitors, but he would also punish those traitors, which was unavoidable. However, if they all opposed accepting the surrender of those traitors, then he could refuse to accept their surrender, but in that case, their losses would be great.

Gongliang Juewen then spoke up, "Everyone, let's discuss this. How should we attack those people from the Myriad Laws Cult? What are your thoughts?"

After hearing Gongliang Juewen's words, everyone fell silent for a moment, and then one person stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have some thoughts."

Gongliang Juewen looked at General Li who had stepped forward, nodded, and said, "General Li, please speak."

General Li responded and then said, “Yes, Your Majesty. We do not know the enemy’s current identity, but we can estimate their strength. The Myriad Laws Sect has several hundred kingdom-level experts, plus the families and sects they have turned against them. Their number of kingdom-level experts is considerable, and they are also skilled in formations. They have both offensive and defensive formations. So no matter how we attack them, one thing is unavoidable: how to break their formations. If we break the formations by force, it will not be an easy task. They have had so much time to set up their formations, so their formations must be very well set up. If we want to break the formations by force, the force required will be enormous.”

He paused here, then continued, "Without using force to break the formation, we can only find the weaknesses in their formation and then break it. This is not easy and requires a long period of calculation. Besides these two methods, the last method is to break the formation with the formation itself. In my opinion, this is the most suitable way."

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned. Wen Jing said, "General Li, although using an array to break an array is the best method, it will take us a long time to set up an array that can break their array, so it is not easy."

General Li nodded and then said, "Sect Master Wen is right. Breaking their formation is not an easy task, but there is another way to do it, which is to use the Creation Golden Wheel."

General Li paused here, then continued, "When we destroyed the Creation God Cult, we obtained quite a few Creation Golden Wheels. Creation Golden Wheels can be transformed into different formations, so if we use Creation Golden Wheels, it will be much easier to break formations with formations. At the very least, we will save time setting up formations."

Hearing his words, everyone nodded. He was right. It was indeed true that the Golden Wheel of Creation could be used to set up formations directly. If they really used the Golden Wheel of Creation, they could save a lot of time in setting up formations.

General Li continued, "I think we should attack them by dividing our forces into three routes. One route will be a coalition of sects, another will be a coalition of aristocratic families, and the last route will be a joint military force. The three armies will attack together, maintaining communication and acting in unison. Moreover, the distance between the three armies should not be too far, so that they can support each other. In this way, we will not have any problems attacking the Myriad Laws Sect."

Upon hearing General Li's words, the crowd was initially taken aback, but then nodded. For the sects and aristocratic families, not acting in concert with the military and the royal family was actually the best option. They were well aware that the commander-in-chief of this attack could not be someone from the sect alliance or the aristocratic family alliance; it would definitely be someone from the royal family. If someone from the royal family used their position as commander-in-chief to deliberately weaken their power, that was entirely possible. However, if they did not act in concert with the military or the royal family, they would have greater autonomy, and at least they could ensure that they would not be taken advantage of.

Neither the sect alliance nor the aristocratic family alliance fully trusted the royal family and the military. They were well aware that the royal family and the military were working together in this operation, and the command could only be given by members of the royal family. If they were to act together, the royal family might take this opportunity to weaken their power, which was something they did not want to see. General Li's proposal was the best option: three armies, although acting in unison, would have greater autonomy, which would put them at ease.

Looking at the sect alliance and the aristocratic family alliance, Gongliang Juewen knew what they were thinking. In fact, General Li's suggestion was made after he and General Li discussed it. Letting the aristocratic family alliance and the sect alliance act separately was to lower their guard. As for them, their goal was to turn all those military personnel and royal family members who were not yet members of the Blood Slaughter Sect into members of the Blood Slaughter Sect. This way, it would be more convenient for them to act separately. Even if they turned all those royal family members and military personnel into the undead race, the sect alliance and the aristocratic family alliance would not know.

Once they have turned all the military and royal family members into the undead race, it is possible for them to then find a way to turn all the members of the aristocratic alliance and sect alliance into the undead race as well.

This attack sounds promising, but Gongliang Juewen and General Li are well aware that they cannot win. They know what the Blood Slaughter Sect is up to. Their attack would be like sending lambs to the slaughter. The Blood Slaughter Sect's formations are no joke; they will make the sect alliance and the aristocratic family alliance suffer greatly. Only by making them suffer will they understand the Blood Slaughter Sect's power. Then, when they propose a combined attack next time, no one will object. And if they don't object to a combined attack, they can then turn everyone in the sect alliance and the aristocratic family alliance into the undead race.

So their plan was actually divided into two steps. The first step was to turn all the military and royal family members into the undead race. The second step was to turn all the members of the sect alliance and the aristocratic family alliance into the undead race as well. By then, the remaining members of the sect alliance and the aristocratic family alliance would no longer be able to cause any trouble.

However, Gongliang Juewen still pretended to be unhappy. He glanced at General Li and then said, "General Li, wouldn't dividing the troops into three routes be too dispersed?"

His purpose in doing this was to make the members of the Sect Alliance and the Aristocratic Family Alliance believe that he opposed it. However, the members of the Sect Alliance and the Aristocratic Family Alliance would agree to it after seeing that he opposed it, because they were worried that Gongliang Juewen's opposition to splitting the army into three routes was an attempt to weaken their power. Therefore, when they saw that Gongliang Juewen was against it, they would support him with all their might.

As expected, when Qingxuan and Wanhai saw Gongliang Juewen's objection, their eyes flashed with a sharp light. Then, Wanhai stepped forward first and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this old minister believes that dividing the troops into three routes is a good idea. The three routes can support each other and advance in unison. This will not only disperse the enemy's forces more, but also allow for more varied attacks. Moreover, both aristocratic families and sects have their own unique fighting styles. If everyone acts together, the lack of coordination will weaken their fighting power. However, if everyone acts separately, this situation will not occur. Therefore, this old minister believes that dividing the troops is feasible."

Qingxuan also stepped forward and said, "I second that proposal."

Although Qingxuan and Wanhai do not attend court, they do hold nominal positions within the court, and these positions are not low. This is easy to understand. For example, the Ministry of War has several Ministers of War, but only one Minister of War actually manages affairs. The others are all just holding the title of Minister of War and do not actually manage affairs.

Qingxuan and Wanhai are the same; they also hold official positions in the court, but they do not actually manage affairs there. In fact, Gongliang Juewen would not allow them to manage affairs in the court. Giving them titles is only for the convenience of holding meetings like this.

But because they hold this title, it's perfectly acceptable for them to call themselves veteran officials; it's just that their status is rather special.

Upon hearing what the two said, Gongliang Juewen's face darkened even more. He pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, it's settled then. We'll split into three groups."

Upon hearing that Gongliang Juewen had agreed, Qingxuan and Wanhai both breathed a sigh of relief. In their view, this was the best outcome; at least they wouldn't have to worry about being tricked by Gongliang Juewen in this attack.

General Li then spoke up, "Your Majesty, I believe that this attack should primarily utilize large-scale magical artifacts. Large-scale magical artifacts are the best choice for both offense and defense. Whether it is the Myriad Laws Divine Sect or the sects or families that have submitted to them, they are all small sects or families, and they do not possess large-scale magical artifacts. Since they do not have large-scale magical artifacts, and we use large-scale magical artifacts to attack, this in itself gives us a great advantage. Therefore, I believe that we should use large-scale magical artifacts for our attack."

Upon hearing General Li's words, Qingxuan and Wanhai both nodded, agreeing with his assessment. Whether it was the Myriad Laws Divine Sect or other smaller sects and families, they indeed lacked large-scale magical artifacts. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect originally possessed the Golden Wheel of Creation, but it was destroyed in a battle against other sects. Now, they no longer had any large-scale magical artifacts. Using large-scale magical artifacts for offense was inherently advantageous; with them, they could attack or defend as needed, making it the best offensive strategy.

Gongliang Juewen's complexion had returned to normal by this time. After listening to General Li's words, he thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true. Those traitors don't have large-scale magical artifacts. Using large-scale magical artifacts to attack is like attacking from mobile bases. When attacking, our people can launch attacks from within the large-scale magical artifacts; when retreating, we can retreat back into the large-scale magical artifacts for defense. This is indeed the best method. Does everyone agree?" After speaking, Gongliang Juewen looked at everyone. He had actually seen Qingxuan and Wanfa nod, but he needed to ask them again, he needed them to say it themselves that they agreed. (End of Chapter)
