Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16395 Fiefdom
Everyone nodded in agreement. They agreed with Wan Hai's statement. Although the area of ​​the Divine Kingdom was enormous, if someone could truly wield divine light, they could reach any place they wanted in a short time. However, ordinary people would not do such a thing.

Large magical artifacts can use divine light without any problem. Divine light can take them anywhere they want to go in a short time. However, it consumes too much energy, so ordinary people don't use it.

However, if the Blood Slaughter Sect is truly seeking revenge, then they can indeed use divine light to attack any city they want. Therefore, Wan Hai's statement that all the cities in the Divine Kingdom are unsafe is not an exaggeration but a fact.

Gongliang Juewen nodded and then said, "Alright, let's do it that way. Everyone, go back and make the arrangements immediately. There's one thing we must pay attention to: make sure the ordinary people are taken care of. Don't let anything happen to them. The Blood Slaughter Sect has attacked us so many times, but they haven't attacked the ordinary people. This shows that they still have a bottom line in this regard. When we kidnapped those ordinary people, we didn't kill them either. This is also our bottom line. We are cultivators, and ordinary people have no power to fight back against us. So, when we fight the Blood Slaughter Sect, ensuring the safety of ordinary people is our bottom line."

Everyone responded, and Gongliang Juewen continued, "Once we've set up the defenses here, we can attack the Blood Slaughter Sect."

Everyone nodded again. Gongliang Juewen looked at everyone and said, "Alright, now that we've finished discussing the defense, let's talk about the rewards. This time, we destroyed another twenty Creation Golden Wheels of the Blood Slaughter Sect. This is another great victory. Moreover, I've read the battle report. Some teams have destroyed the Blood Slaughter Sect's Creation Golden Wheels for the second time. I must give them some rewards, otherwise it would be too unfair."

Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen's words, everyone smiled slightly. They were quite curious about what kind of reward Gongliang Juewen would give them.

Gongliang Juewen looked at everyone and said, "There were two teams that destroyed the Creation Golden Wheel for the second time. One team was the team from the Divine Arm Sect, and the other team was the team from the Shi family. Both of you did a great job, so I have decided to grant each of you a fiefdom of one thousand acres. Note that this fiefdom is permanent. From now on, that one thousand acres of fiefdom will belong entirely to you and will not need to be rotated."

Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen's words, the people from Shenbi Sect and the Shi family were all stunned, while the others were in an uproar. They had not expected that Gongliang Juewen would grant them permanent fiefdoms, something that every family and sect desperately desired, yet Gongliang Juewen had given them to them now.

Gongliang Juewen looked at everyone and then said, "I know that the Divine Kingdom has ancestral rules that prevent us from granting you permanent fiefdoms. However, times have changed, and now we have an enemy like the Blood Slaughter Sect. Therefore, I have decided to break this ancestral rule and grant you permanent fiefdoms. Since this is the first time I'm granting you fiefdoms, I will let you choose the locations yourself. The same applies to the rest of you. If your sect's battle team can destroy the Blood Slaughter Sect's Creation Golden Wheel twice, I can also grant you fiefdoms. Of course, if your sect members accumulate enough battle merits, I can also grant you fiefdoms. As for how many battle merits are needed to obtain a fiefdom, we need to think about that carefully. How about this: if your sect kills 100,000 ordinary disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect, or captures one million ordinary people from the Blood Slaughter Sect, I will also grant you fiefdoms. The area of ​​the fiefdom will be fixed at one thousand acres. What do you think?"

Everyone became excited. Whether it was a sect or a noble family, they all longed for a permanent fiefdom. So when Gongliang Juewen said this, they immediately became excited and had no reason to object.

Looking at their expressions, Gongliang Juewen continued, "There's one more thing I need to tell you all."

Everyone immediately turned to look at Gongliang Juewen. Gongliang Juewen looked at them and then said, “I know you’re all a little reluctant to part with your sect’s most treasured magical artifacts. After all, the power of such artifacts diminishes with each use. My idea is that we can rotate these treasured artifacts. The ones currently used by those teams have already been used several times, and their power has been somewhat affected, but not significantly. So, at this point, we can retrieve those used treasured artifacts and send out an equal number of new ones. The retrieved artifacts can be nurtured and quickly regain their combat power, while the new ones will be at their peak power, perfect for dealing with the Blood Slaughter Sect. What do you all think?”

Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen's words, Qingxuan and the others were all taken aback. Then they all nodded. They had initially thought Gongliang Juewen was going to add some extra conditions to the granting of fiefs and rewards, but they hadn't expected him to be referring to this very thing: rotating the sect's treasure-level magical artifacts. This was indeed a good method. In fact, whether in the royal family, various sects, or different forces, each family had a special group of people called artifact nurs. Their strength hadn't reached the kingdom level, but it was certainly not weak. Their attributes had to be roughly the same as the sect's treasure-level magical artifacts, and their task was quite simple: to nurture and care for them.

Don't assume that nurturing a sect's most precious magical artifact is free. In fact, nurturing a magical artifact does come at a price; it will affect your cultivation speed. This is why people only begin nurturing magical artifacts after reaching the Kingdom level. Nurturing a magical artifact too early will hinder their cultivation speed.

Generally speaking, apart from the first generation of artifact owners, the most treasured magical artifacts of a sect are not nurtured by kingdom-level experts. Instead, cultivators with the same attributes as the artifact, whose strength has reached the palace or city level and whose strength can no longer improve, are selected to nurture the artifact. In this way, the artifact is nurtured without affecting their strength, and the kingdom-level experts of the sect will not have their strength affected by nurturing the artifact. It can be said to be a win-win situation, which is the role of the artifact nurturer.

Whether it's the royal family, various sects, or clans, they all have such artifact nurturers. Under normal circumstances, a treasure-level magical artifact requires two to three nurturers who take turns nurturing it. So as long as you take a treasure-level magical artifact back, the nurturers can immediately nurture it, and in a short time, the artifact's power can be restored.

That is why no one objected when Gongliang Juewen proposed to rotate those magical artifacts. They all knew very well that it was indeed necessary to rotate those magical artifacts, since each family had more than just those few treasured artifacts.

Gongliang Juewen looked at Qingxuan and the others, then said, "If no one objects, then this matter is settled, and everyone can go back."

Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen's words, everyone responded, then stood up, bowed to Gongliang Juewen, and left the main hall.

After they left the main hall, Gongliang Juewen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then returned to his study and told Chang Jun about it. Chang Jun was also very happy, as they could finally have a new family heirloom.

On the other hand, the enthusiasm of various sects and families to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect is unprecedented. They all want to obtain fiefdoms, so after returning, they immediately dispatched some more people to the front line to prepare for an attack on the Blood Slaughter Sect.

After all the representatives from various sects arrived at the front lines, General Sun invited them to the conference room. Once everyone was there, General Sun addressed them, saying, “Gentlemen, some time ago, the Blood Slaughter Sect launched an attack on the heartland of our Divine Kingdom. Although we repelled both of their attacks and suffered heavy losses, they still occupy a large territory, which His Majesty cannot allow. However, because we didn't gain much advantage in our previous battles with them, although His Majesty issued the order to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect, we haven't taken much action at the front lines. The reason I've called you all here today is to inform you of this matter. From now on, the previous ban on the front lines will be lifted. If any of you wish to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect, you are welcome to do so at any time. Anyone can attack the Blood Slaughter Sect, except for those assigned to garrison duties.”

Upon hearing General Li's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces. They had been waiting for this day for a long time. Although Gongliang Juewen and the others had long ago issued a mission that they could attack the Blood Slaughter Sect, kill its members, or capture ordinary people from the Blood Slaughter Sect's occupied territories in exchange for military merits, this mission had not been carried out immediately upon arriving at the front lines. The reason for this was not because General Li did not want to carry it out, but because the Blood Slaughter Sect had been attacking them all along, and they did not have the conditions to attack at that time, so they had not carried it out. Now that the ban had been lifted, they could finally attack the Blood Slaughter Sect at any time.

"There's one more thing I need to make clear to everyone. As you all know, His Majesty previously decreed that military merits can be accumulated and exchanged for better things once a certain amount is reached. Today, His Majesty has issued a new order: if you can kill 100,000 ordinary disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect, or destroy two of the Blood Slaughter Sect's Creation Golden Wheels, His Majesty will grant you a permanent fief of 1,000 acres. This applies to sects, aristocratic families, and independent cultivators alike. As long as you can do it, His Majesty will grant you the fief. Do you all remember that?"
