Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16380 The Sect's Treasure
His words stunned everyone. Then Gongliang Juewen asked, "What do you mean? Do you think they dare to cross our defenses and attack our territory directly?"

The minister spoke up: "It is indeed possible. Our first line of defense no longer has any large magical artifacts to stop them. At that point, they can easily bypass our first line of defense and penetrate deep into our territory. They don't need to worry about our people attacking them from behind. Even if our people attack them from behind, they can use their large magical artifacts to retreat at will. As long as they don't send too many people and no one stays outside the large magical artifacts, their attack on us will be much more relaxed. They can attack when they want and leave when they want. Although we can use kingdom-level experts to deal with their large magical artifacts, doing so would result in huge losses for us. So they really might not be afraid to penetrate deep into our territory to attack us. Therefore, in my opinion, we must think of a way to break their large magical artifacts, otherwise we will always be in a passive state."

At first, Qingxuan and the others listened to the minister with furrowed brows, but after he finished speaking, they all nodded unconsciously. The minister was right; they didn't have enough large-scale magical artifacts to counter the Blood Slaughter Sect's large-scale magical artifacts. Most importantly, the Blood Slaughter Sect also had transforming shields that could deal with large-scale magical artifacts and even directly deal with kingdom-level experts. If they couldn't deal with these, they would indeed remain passive.

Gongliang Juewen frowned at this moment, and then he said, "Does my esteemed minister have any ideas?"

The minister said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, my solution is the one we came up with before: to use a sect-protecting treasure-level magic weapon to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect's large magic weapons and their transforming shields. If Your Majesty is worried about the safety of those magic weapons, we can require that the person using the magic weapon must be protected. That is to say, we can send a small team of kingdom-level experts to act together, with one person using the sect-protecting treasure-level magic weapon, and the other kingdom-level experts protecting the person using the magic weapon. This should ensure the safety of the magic weapon."

Gongliang Juewen nodded. He had stopped this matter before because they still had large magical artifacts at the time, but it would be unreasonable to oppose it now. In fact, it was he who had suggested that the minister make the suggestion, because he knew very well that if he didn't make it, Qingxuan and the others would bring it up later. Rather than that, it was better for them to make it up on their own initiative.

As expected, Qingxuan and the others nodded in agreement after hearing the minister's words. Gongliang Juewen glanced at them and then asked, "What do you think of this proposal, my esteemed ministers?"

Qingxuan and Wanfa both nodded. They were well aware that the minister's suggestion was correct. If they didn't find a way to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect's large magical artifacts, their sects and families would be in danger. Although their families and sects were all located in the heart of the Divine Kingdom and seemed safe now, they would be in danger if the Blood Slaughter Sect's large magical artifacts really broke into the heart of the Divine Kingdom. Therefore, they had to come up with a way to counter the Blood Slaughter Sect's large magical artifacts.

Qingxuan spoke up, "Lord Cheng's suggestion is excellent, I second it." Wan Hai also responded, seconding it as well.

Gongliang Juewen said, "Alright, everyone agrees, so this matter is settled. But how to use those magical artifacts is also a problem. What do you all think about it?"

Wan Hai then spoke up, "Your Majesty, I believe we must establish a second line of defense."

At this point, Wan Hai paused for a moment, then continued, "Your Majesty, I believe we must establish two lines of defense. The first line is already built, but the second is not yet. I think it's necessary for us to build a second line. Once it's built, if the Blood Slaughter Sect really manages to penetrate our territory, we can use the second line to block their attack. At the same time, our magical artifacts should be distributed between the first and second lines. When necessary, we can let the enemy in, and then have the people on the first line attack them from behind, while the people on the second line attack them from the front. After all, using sect-level treasures to deal with them is actually quite easy, and those artifacts will be more flexible and adaptable."

Gongliang Juewen nodded, then turned to look at the others before asking, "What do you think?"

"I second that proposal." "I second that proposal."...

Seeing that everyone agreed, Gongliang Juewen nodded and said, "Alright, then it's settled. Everyone, let's discuss where we should build this second line of defense. Someone, bring a map." Immediately, a eunuch brought over a map.

After the eunuch opened the map, Gongliang Juewen pointed to it and said, "Everyone, take a look. Where should we build the second line of defense?" Everyone looked at the map, and after a while, Qingxuan spoke up, "I think we can build the second line of defense along the Jianlin Mountain line. The terrain there is extremely treacherous, and the mountain ranges, mainly Jianlin Mountain and Cangwu Mountain, form a horizontal line. Most importantly, there are several major sects in these mountain ranges, and behind them are several large cities. If we build the second line of defense around these major sects and cities, it should be able to withstand the enemy's attack."

Everyone nodded as they looked at the line Qingxuan had drawn. The line wasn't straight, and the mountain ranges weren't connected to each other, but it wouldn't be wrong to say that these mountain ranges were on the same line. So, it was indeed possible to form a defensive line from these mountain ranges.

Moreover, just as Qingxuan said, there are several major sects in the mountain ranges along this line, and behind the mountains, there are several large cities. The main halls of the major sects have very strong defenses. As for the large cities, the presence of large cities means the presence of large families. It is absolutely no problem to establish a defensive line using these large cities and the main halls of the major sects as bases.

Everyone nodded, agreeing that Qingxuan's suggestion was excellent. Gongliang Juewen carefully examined the defensive line, then nodded and said, "Establishing a second defensive line here is indeed feasible. Do any of you ministers have any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads, and then they all said at the same time, "We have no objections."

Gongliang Juewen nodded and said, "Alright, it's good that everyone has no objections. Then it's settled. This time, the royal family is willing to provide fifty treasure-level magic artifacts. The rest is up to you."

Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen's words, Qingxuan and the others' expressions all changed. They immediately understood that the royal family had really gone all out this time. Fifty treasure-level magic artifacts had probably emptied the royal family's coffers.

They had no idea that the royal family could have as many magical artifacts as they wanted. Of course, most of the artifacts they brought out were the same type. The reason Gongliang Juewen proposed using a sect-treasured artifact against the Blood Slaughter Sect was mainly for the Blood Slaughter Sect's benefit. They wanted to obtain those artifacts. The Blood Slaughter Sect wouldn't even look at ordinary artifacts; only artifacts of this level would catch their eye. If the Blood Slaughter Sect wanted to equip all its disciples with such artifacts, it would need many different kinds. Such high-level artifacts were usually the secret treasures of various sects, and they wouldn't use them easily. They had to find a way to get them to use these artifacts, ideally by having the Blood Slaughter Sect snatch them away. That way, the Blood Slaughter Sect would also have such artifacts, and then they could distribute them to all their disciples.

Gongliang Juewen was aware of the Blood Slaughter Sect's current plan, so he directly had someone propose it. He also brought out fifty of the royal family's most treasured artifacts. In fact, the royal family had more than a hundred such treasured artifacts, but he brought out fifty at once, which was already quite remarkable. If he brought out too many, it would arouse Qingxuan and the others' suspicion. In fact, the royal family had already handed over these artifacts to the Blood Slaughter Sect. However, after the Blood Slaughter Sect put these artifacts into the Real Illusion, they were returned to the royal family. That's why Gongliang Juewen was able to bring out these artifacts.

Qingxuan and the others did not say how many magical artifacts they would bring out this time, but one thing was certain: they could not bring out too few magical artifacts. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the royal family, and Gongliang Juewen might have to deal with them in the future.

Afterwards, everyone discussed the details of the operation, and Gongliang Juewen announced the end of the court session. Then, Gongliang Juewen told General Li and Chang Jun about what they had discussed.

Chang Jun was actually very happy after hearing Gongliang Juewen's words, because Gongliang Juewen had previously told Chang Jun that he should ask all the sects to bring out their most treasured magic weapons so that the sects could take some back. However, it was best not to do it too obviously.

Chang Jun was overjoyed to hear that Gongliang Juewen had already begun his operation and that the sects and families were about to bring out their most prized magical artifacts. This would allow the sects to acquire many high-level artifacts. As for preventing the sects from discovering this, it was actually quite simple. They could find a way to turn the sects' experts, along with the artifacts, into their ranks, then take the artifacts into the sects' possessions, place them in the Reality Illusion, and then return them to the sects. In this way, the sects and families would see that the artifacts were still in their hands, but they would never suspect that their artifacts had already been copied by the Blood Slaughter Sect.

The main reason why the Blood Slaughter Sect did this was to prepare for the final battle. They were slowly eroding the power of the Divine Kingdom. Once the power of the Divine Kingdom had been eroded to a certain extent, and the power of the Blood Slaughter Sect had reached a certain level, they could then engage in a decisive battle with the Divine Kingdom. At that time, they would definitely be able to take down the Divine Kingdom in one fell swoop. Once they took down the Divine Kingdom, the Blood Slaughter Sect's goal in the Divine Realm would be achieved, and they could ascend to immortality.
