Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16340 Tactics
Following Fang Wuwei's command, people from various sects flew out of the large magical artifacts. They looked at the ground, their expressions not very good. They knew about the Earthwalking Sect and what the Earthwalking Sect was good at. Now they were going to attack the Earthwalking Sect's territory, which was like crashing into the enemy's strongest point. Their casualties would definitely not be small.

However, they cannot afford not to attack. If they cannot take down the Earthwalking Sect, they never know when the Earthwalking Sect might stab them in the back, which could cost them their lives.

That's why, even knowing that an attack on the Earth Path Sect would be troublesome, they still launched an attack on the Earth Path Sect.

Fang Wuwei also emerged from the large magical artifact. He had no choice but to come out. Although he was the commander, if he did not participate in this battle, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the other sects. Therefore, he had to come out. He could choose not to lead the attack, but he had to participate in this attack.

Then Fang Wuwei waved his hand, and immediately some kingdom-level experts released earth-based spells, creating several large holes in the ground that led directly underground.

Immediately, other kingdom-level experts rushed down through the large hole, and more and more people followed suit. Fang Wuwei also rushed down with the crowd. In a battle like this, he no longer needed to command.

Those who rushed underground were quickly met with the fiercest attack from the Earthwalking Sect. The Earthwalking Sect members launched a full-scale attack on those people, and casualties began to appear.

Of course, the Earthwalking Sect also suffered considerable casualties, but the attackers suffered even greater losses. The two sides began a great battle underground, and the battle became increasingly fierce.

After an unknown amount of time, finally, there was no one left in the underground of the Earthwalking Sect. All the enemies had been eliminated. Fang Wuwei breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news, but he was still not at ease. He had everyone use earth-based magic to search the underground and the surrounding area. Only after confirming that there were no more living enemies did they fly out from underground.

However, after everyone flew out from underground, Fang Wuwei's expression immediately turned extremely ugly, because he discovered that their casualties this time had reached one-tenth.

One-tenth of the casualties is already a significant number. It's important to understand that in many cases, an army can collapse if it suffers one-tenth of its casualties. So, such casualties are truly not insignificant.

The allied forces of the various sects only numbered 100,000, and more than 10,000 were lost in this battle. The casualties were indeed too great.

Fang Wuwei frowned as he looked at the remaining people. He then gave the order for everyone to return to the large magical artifact.

Upon returning to the large magical artifact, Fang Wuwei immediately ordered, "Invite the representatives of each sect over."

Soon after, representatives from various sects arrived. Fang Wuwei looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I won't say anything empty. You've all seen the situation. We've only just taken down one sect, but our casualties have already reached one-tenth. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before we're all wiped out. So we need to think carefully about what to do next."

After hearing his words, everyone fell silent, because Fang Wuwei's words made sense. If they attacked the territories of a few more sects under the current circumstances, they would probably all die here. And how many sects were there in this area? If they had to fight them one by one, the losses would be too great, and they couldn't afford it.

At this moment, an elder from a sect spoke up: "Now, this matter isn't just up to us. We must first ask General Li and the others for their opinion, to see if their attack is going smoothly. If their attack is going well, they might let us continue. If that's the case, then we can't be as aggressive in our last attack; we can take it slow." Fang Wuwei and the others immediately understood the elder's meaning. In fact, the elder's meaning was quite simple: to go through the motions without putting in the effort. That was indeed a solution.

Fang Wuwei nodded and said, "This is a good idea. We've already suffered such heavy casualties this time, so they probably can't say anything. Here's what we'll do: I'll contact General Li now and ask about the battle situation there. They should be fighting now, and it should be almost over by then. Let's see how things are going on there."

Everyone nodded, and Fang Wuwei immediately sent a letter to General Li. Then they waited for General Li's reply.

General Li was now also having a headache. They didn't know what the sect was up to. They thought the sect would use a magic array to teach them a lesson this time, ensuring they wouldn't return alive. But to their surprise, the sect didn't do that this time. The sect only set up an Eight Gates Golden Lock Array in the city for defense. After they broke through the defense, they found that everyone in the city had hidden underground. When they started attacking underground, casualties began. Just when they had lost about one-tenth of their manpower, the rest all disappeared. This left General Li speechless.

He didn't know what the sect was really up to, why they were using magical artifacts instead of engaging in this battle. Just then, he received a letter from Fang Wuwei. After reading its contents, General Li fell into deep thought. He now roughly understood the sect's intentions. The sect was actually feigning weakness because the Divine Kingdom had clearly not gone all out in this operation. Although the Divine Kingdom had mobilized 300,000 people for this attack, while that was a lot, it was still a drop in the ocean compared to the number of cultivators in the Divine Kingdom. This was enough to show that the Divine Kingdom had not gone all out and was merely testing the waters.

The Divine Kingdom was testing them, and the Blood Slaughter Sect was willing to reveal their trump cards. However, they couldn't let the Divine Kingdom's people think their fighting strength was weak, as that might make the Divine Kingdom suspicious. Therefore, they didn't use any magic arrays, but instead employed another tactic: fighting the Divine Kingdom's people underground. On one hand, they would fight the Divine Kingdom underground, inflicting heavy casualties on them. On the other hand, they would pretend that their own side was also suffering heavy losses, giving the Divine Kingdom the illusion that they could only fight a war of attrition. Only in this way would the Divine Kingdom continue to commit troops, or even send a large army to attack. At that point, the Blood Slaughter Sect would use their magic arrays to kill all the attacking enemies, thus maximizing the Divine Kingdom's losses. It would be too wasteful to use the Blood Slaughter Sect's trump cards to deal with just 300,000 people.

After figuring this out, General Li immediately wrote to Lü Xiaofang to inquire about the situation there. Lü Xiaofang quickly replied to General Li, telling him that the enemy they were attacking had all gone underground, and they were fighting the enemy underground. Their casualties were also considerable, but the battle there was not over yet.

Upon seeing this situation, General Li confirmed his idea. He then wrote directly to Lü Xiaofang, telling him to reply after his battle was over. He also wrote to Fang Wuwei, informing him that the battle on Lü Xiaofang's side was not yet over, and that they would discuss the operation properly after Lü Xiaofang's battle was finished.

Fang Wuwei did not object. In any case, they were safe now and there was no need to rush. Soon, in less than an hour, the battle at Lü Xiaofang's place was over. He replied to General Li and also mentioned their casualties, which amounted to about one-tenth.

After receiving the letter, General Li wrote to Fang Wuwei and Lü Xiaofang, arranging a meeting between them on a mountain between the three groups.

The mountain was closest to General Li, so they were the first to arrive. Then Lü Xiaofang and Fang Wuwei also arrived. All thirty large magical artifacts gathered on the mountain. After they arrived, General Li invited the two of them into his large magical artifact.

After the two arrived, General Li invited them into the large magical artifact and into his room. After the three sat down, General Li let out a long breath and then said, "Through this battle, I have a pretty good idea of ​​the enemy's thinking. They know they are no match for us, so they have focused their battle underground. Fighting underground can prevent our large magical artifact from being used effectively, and at the same time, it can offset some of our numerical advantage, and even the difference in strength, and increase our casualties."

Fang Wuwei and Lü Xiaofang both nodded. They had seen the situation clearly. To be honest, the Blood Slaughter Sect's tactics were indeed giving them a real headache. The Blood Slaughter Sect had chosen to fight underground, which was something they hadn't expected and was their biggest concern.

There are reasons why cultivators dislike going underground. Once underground, the use of magical artifacts and spells becomes severely restricted. Most importantly, mental power is also greatly limited. It's extremely difficult to locate enemies underground using mental power, as the soil hinders the transmission of mental energy. Furthermore, the power of ordinary magical artifacts decreases immediately upon encountering soil. If the enemy is underground and can dig tunnels, finding and completely eliminating them will come at a much higher cost. This is why cultivators dislike fighting underground.

This time, the enemy deliberately chose to fight underground. Because the enemy was weaker than them, they chose to fight underground, which rendered their large magical artifacts useless. They could only choose to fight head-on. Underground, the power of their magical artifacts could not be fully exerted, thus negating another advantage of theirs. It can be said that this time the enemy chose a very clever way to resist their attack. Every step they took forward cost them blood.
