Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16369 Attack
Xu Zhengqing stood inside a large magical artifact, holding a jade slip in his hand. He placed it directly onto the communication array, and the next moment, a flash of white light appeared, and the jade slip disappeared.

After the jade slip disappeared, Xu Zhengqing stood there quietly waiting. The jade slip was for General Li, and he told General Li that they were ready to attack at any time.

In about ten breaths, a jade slip appeared on the communication array. Xu Zhengqing picked up the jade slip, glanced at it, and then said, "Action." As soon as he gave the order, a disciple immediately relayed it down, and then everyone began to move. Eighty large magical artifacts, along with countless cultivators, rushed straight towards Wujiang City.

Their actions, involving so many people, could not possibly be kept secret from the people in Wujiang City, nor did they intend to conceal it, so many of them simply hid their whereabouts.

They quickly arrived at Wujiang City, and sure enough, Wujiang City was deserted. Xu Zhengqing said, "Send half of the people to guard Wujiang City. If anyone comes out of Wujiang City, attack them immediately. It is best not to let them form a battle formation. The other half of the people, search everywhere immediately. Capture all the ordinary people you can find and put them into the large magic artifact."

Disciples immediately went to relay the order, and the army quickly dispersed. Their operation this time only had a general direction and no specific arrangements. These arrangements were all made by Xu Zhengqing himself. Frontline commanders like them had a great deal of autonomy.

Let alone them, even within the Blood Slaughter Sect, the actual frontline commanders have considerable autonomy. After all, the situation on the front lines changes rapidly, and the commanders must make timely adjustments. Of course, the Blood Slaughter Sect's frontline commanders are better off than Xu Zhengqing and his group because they have many contingency plans to choose from. For their first operation, their advisory group will prepare contingency plans for all possible scenarios, and they can make timely adjustments when they encounter corresponding situations.

After Xu Zhengqing made these arrangements, the army of the Divine Kingdom began to move. Half of the army remained in Wujiang City, while the other half split up to capture ordinary people in Wujiang City.

The ordinary people in Wujiang City are divided into two groups. One group lives on the banks of the Wujiang River outside Wujiang City. Some of these ordinary people live on the shore, while others live on fishing boats on the river. These fishing boats are both their fishing tools and their homes.

Others lived in various villages outside Wujiang City. There were irrigation canals connecting Wujiang City to these villages, which could directly draw water from Wujiang River to irrigate the fields. This is the origin of Wujiang City's cold-water fish and cold-water rice.

The people of Wujiang City clearly did not expect anyone to attack them, so the ordinary people were unprepared and were directly captured by those rogue cultivators.

Just as those rogue cultivators began to arrest people, Xu Zhengqing also sent a letter to General Li. Not long after those rogue cultivators started arresting people, many people emerged from underground in Wujiang City. However, as soon as they saw those people appear, the people of the Divine Kingdom rushed over and entangled with them, not giving those people a chance to form a battle formation.

Just as the two sides were fighting, Xu Zhengqing sent another letter to General Li. Upon receiving the letter, General Li immediately sent a letter to Shi Yong.

After receiving General Li's letter, Shi Yong immediately ordered the army to move out. The number of people participating in this operation was not large. There were forty large magical artifacts, each carrying only 500,000 people. The forty large magical artifacts carried 20 million people, and all 20 million people were elites, not only the elites of various sects, but also the elites among the rogue cultivators.

Because everyone was inside the large magical artifacts, the illusion arrays inside the large magical artifacts could also be activated. All the large magical artifacts disappeared in an instant, and then these large magical artifacts headed towards the area occupied by the Blood Slaughter Sect.

They bypassed some cities in the Blood Slaughter Sect's territory and flew straight towards Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. To speed up their journey, they used divine light to fly directly after entering the Blood Slaughter Sect's territory. The invisibility ability of large magic artifacts could no longer be used, and the energy consumption of large magic artifacts was extremely high.

After an hour of flying in divine light, they arrived at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. As soon as they arrived, Shi Yong immediately ordered, "Scatter immediately, destroy all the medicinal gardens here on Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and arrest everyone here."

Immediately, a disciple responded and went to relay the order. Shi Yong then said, "All Creation Golden Wheels, immediately convert them into teleportation arrays. Send all captured ordinary people directly back here. Once they arrive, immediately send them to the teleportation array. Once enough people are there, teleport them away." Another disciple responded and went to relay the order. Soon, the battle began. Countless cultivators flew out from large magical artifacts and attacked all the medicinal gardens in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. The medicinal gardens in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain were also guarded, and those people resisted, but it was useless. They were too few in number and no match for the cultivators from the Divine Kingdom.

The cultivators in the herb garden were quickly wiped out, and the herb garden was destroyed. At this time, some cultivators came to attack them, but their numbers were not large. In addition, all the cultivators who came with Shi Yong this time were elites, so those cultivators were quickly eliminated.

At this time, a large number of ordinary people were also sent here. These ordinary people were sent to the Golden Wheel of Creation. Once the number reached one thousand, they could be teleported away directly.

Meanwhile, the Five Elements Dividing Light Realms of the Blood Slaughter Sect finally arrived in Wujiang City. As soon as they arrived, they attacked the large magical artifacts. Wujiang and the others could only send out some large magical artifacts to fight against the Five Elements Dividing Light Realms. Soon, Xu Zhengqing discovered a problem. He found that the Five Elements Dividing Light Realms could not break through their large magical artifacts, which surprised Xu Zhengqing.

He remembered that those Five Elements Dividing Light Realms could break through the protective array of a large city, so how could they not break through their large magical artifacts? There was only one possibility for this situation: the shape-shifting shield was not as terrifying as he had imagined.

Just then, Xu Zhengqing suddenly noticed that a shield that had transformed into a giant sword had crashed directly into a large magical artifact. With a loud bang, the shield shattered, and everyone inside coughed up blood. This situation startled Xu Zhengqing; he hadn't expected such a thing to happen. Then, his eyes lit up. If the enemy's shield really couldn't break through their large magical artifact, then they wouldn't have to worry about the enemy's shield anymore.

Just as Xu Zhengqing was pondering these matters, he saw an even larger sword-shaped shield crash directly into a large magical artifact. This time, the large magical artifact couldn't withstand the impact. With a loud bang, a huge gash was cleaved through the artifact, and it then fell directly from the sky to the ground.

Upon seeing this situation, Xu Zhengqing's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Analyze why some sword-shaped shields can break through our large magical artifacts, while others cannot."

His disciples immediately responded, and then they began to organize people to analyze the situation. These disciples were actually playing the role of advisors, but they didn't have official titles.

Soon, a disciple came to Xu Zhengqing's side and said, "Elder Xu, according to our rough estimate, it may be due to the number of people. Those who failed to break through the protective shields of our large magical artifacts only had about 10,000 people inside, while those that broke through the protective shields had as many as 100,000 people inside. It may be because of the number of people. With more people, more power can be provided to the protective shields, which is why the large magical artifacts were able to be broken."

Xu Zhengqing nodded and then said, "I think so too, but how exactly they did it is really suspicious. Never mind, let's have them study it when we get back. Notify all the large magical artifacts to coordinate. If it's a sword-shaped shield for 10,000 people, we can ignore it. But if we encounter a sword-shaped shield for 100,000 people, we must be careful. Several large magical artifacts need to work together. Some people should attract it from the front, while others should attack from the side. Their sword-shaped shield is very strong when attacked from the front, but we don't know how their side attacks will be. Make sure everyone coordinates."

Immediately, a disciple responded and went to relay the order. Soon, the large magical artifacts began to work together, and the Blood Slaughter Sect's Five Elements Dividing Light Realm seemed to be struggling.

However, the Five Elements Dividing Light Realms did not retreat, but continued to attack, tightly entangled the large magical artifacts, and more and more large magical artifacts were rushing over.

Upon seeing this situation, Xu Zhengqing knew that they should retreat. Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Pass down the order to retreat slowly."

Everyone responded and then slowly retreated. At the same time, Xu Zhengqing told General Li about the battle situation, and General Li told Shi Yong about Xu Zhengqing's situation.

Some might find it strange that Xu Zhengqing didn't communicate directly with Shi Yong, but instead had General Li forward the messages. The reason is quite simple: General Li is the commander-in-chief at the front. Both Xu Zhengqing and Shi Yong must maintain respect for him. Having General Li forward the messages allows him to give orders. If they didn't, it would be tantamount to deviating from his command, which would be undesirable and would displease him. Don't forget, although they have formed a coalition, internal conflicts still exist. If each side doesn't want these conflicts to escalate, they must adhere to certain principles. For example, they must respect General Li as the commander-in-chief at the front. This is one such principle.
