Bringing the farm to another world
Chapter 16431 Failure
Upon seeing this situation, Wu Qian immediately shouted, "Pass down the order: attack with all your might! The speed must be fast!" Everyone responded and went to pass on the order. The speed of the Shattered Star Swords behind them also increased, and they charged towards the protective barrier of Wuwei City with all their might.
Unbeknownst to them, on the other side, at a base relatively far from Wuwei City, they had already been surrounded by the Creation Golden Wheel and the Thousand Machine Star. The Creation Golden Wheel and the Thousand Machine Star had directly arrived above that base, and the people inside noticed this as well. Their attention was completely drawn to the Creation Golden Wheel and the Thousand Machine Star. The Creation Golden Wheel once again emitted golden light, attempting to break through the solidification array of their base's land, and at the same time, it released a barrier array, trying to seal them away.
Just as the people in that base were preparing to send a message to Wu Qian and his group, their illusionary stone array was suddenly destroyed. They then discovered they could no longer send messages out or use the teleportation array. At that moment, they noticed several large holes appearing in their base, leading directly into it from the ground. But that wasn't all; what truly chilled them was the emergence of countless vines from the ground, attacking everyone in the base, along with some knife-like forelimbs.
Now the people in this base finally understand how Wuwei City was destroyed. To be honest, they really had no chance to fight back against such an attack. Apart from some experts at the Royal Palace, Royal City, and Kingdom levels, the other cultivators couldn't even deal with those vines, let alone dodge those elusive, knife-like forelimbs.
However, even those experts couldn't hold out for long, because the Blood Slaughter Sect's Kingdom-level experts then launched an attack on them. The Blood Slaughter Sect had more Kingdom-level experts, and they were stronger. Faced with such an attack, the Kingdom-level experts among them could only be killed, not to mention the Palace-level and Royal City-level cultivators, who could only wait to die.
The Blood Slaughter Sect quickly occupied the base. Because the Shattering Star Sword and the sect's most treasured magical artifacts in the base had all been transferred away, it took them even less time to deal with the base, and they quickly took it over.
After they captured the base, they immediately set up a magic array and connected it with the magic array on Thousand Lotus Mountain.
Meanwhile, Wu Qian and his men were still attacking Wuwei City, but their expressions were not good. Their Shattering Star Swords were almost exhausted, but the protective barrier of Wuwei City only trembled slightly and showed no signs of being breached.
Just then, Wu Qian suddenly moved his hand, and a jade slip appeared in his hand. This jade slip was the one that Wu Qian's communication array had just received. Wu Qian immediately glanced at the contents of the jade slip, and his face immediately turned very ugly upon seeing them. Just as he was about to give the order, an elder from the base suddenly spoke up: "Withdraw."
Wu Qian was taken aback. Then he turned his head and looked in the direction of Wuwei City. He found that all the Shattered Star Swords they brought had completed their attacks, but they couldn't do anything to Wuwei City's protective barrier. At this point, they had no choice but to retreat.
Wu Qian immediately said, "Let's retreat." After saying that, he took out a jade slip and sent a message to the other team, telling them to retreat immediately. Then he led his men to retreat.
Although the Shattering Star Sword is a one-time attack weapon, it is not a suicide weapon. When it attacks, the blade of the Shattering Star Sword will shatter, but the cockpit of the Shattering Star Sword will remain intact. Therefore, all those who piloted the Shattering Star Sword survived. It was because of this that Wu Qian and his group did not suffer many casualties when they retreated.
Wu Qian quickly returned to Huyang City. Upon his return, he immediately summoned the representatives from each base to the conference room. The people thought Wu Qian was going to hold a meeting to summarize the lessons learned from this failure, but to their surprise, as soon as Wu Qian sat down in the conference room, he immediately asked one of the generals who remained at the base: "Is it confirmed? We've lost contact with Jushi City?"
Wu Qian had previously given an order that all bases must communicate with each other every hour, regardless of whether it was day or night.
As a result, while they were still attacking Wuwei City, he received news that they had lost contact with the Giant Stone City base, so he rushed back to ask about it.
The general responded, "Yes, General. We lost contact with Boulder City an hour ago. We have been trying to contact them but have not been successful. I have sent people from the base near Boulder City to check."
The general's claim of losing contact wasn't just a simple matter of the communication array being down; it also meant that the teleportation array was unusable. That's why he sent people from other bases near the Giant Stone City base to check the situation.
Wu Qian nodded, then turned to look at the representatives of the other bases before saying, "As you all know, we've lost contact with the Boulder City base. I think they're probably doomed. It's fair to say that our operation today has been a complete failure."
Upon hearing Wu Qian's words, everyone's expressions turned even more grim, but they remained silent. Wu Qian was right; their operation today was a complete failure. They hadn't captured Wuwei City, and they had even lost the Giant Stone City base. What else could this be but a defeat? Wu Qian looked at everyone and continued, "However, I think you all know His Majesty's orders: at all costs, we must take Thousand Lotus Mountain. Even if only one of us is left, the attack cannot stop. My idea is to rest for ten days, have more Shattered Star Swords sent from the rear, and then we can continue our attack. After all, we've already used up all the Shattered Star Swords we have today; even if we wanted to attack, it wouldn't be possible."
Upon hearing his words, everyone frowned. Then, a cultivator spoke up, "General Wu, attacking is not a problem, but haven't we already tried today? We couldn't break through the enemy's defensive formation with the Shattering Star Sword. So what should we do next? Should we continue attacking like this? But attacking like this is useless."
Everyone looked at Wu Qian. Yes, their attack was useless. Knowing that such an attack was useless, what was the point of attacking like this? So everyone looked at Wu Qian.
Wu Qian looked at everyone and said, "To be honest, I don't want to attack like this either, but do we have any other options? If we do, then we'll use those other methods to attack. If not, then we'll have no choice but to attack like this."
Everyone fell silent. To be honest, they really had no other choice. This was the best attack method they could think of, so when Wu Qian asked the question, they all stopped talking.
Wu Qian looked at everyone and then said, "For the next attack, my idea is that we gather everyone together and attack one point of their magic array. No matter how strong their magic array is, if we keep attacking one point, their magic array should be broken, right? What are your thoughts?"
Everyone fell silent after hearing his words. After a while, Wu Qian finally spoke up: "Breaking through the surface with a single point is the best way to break through the formation. If even such an attack cannot break the enemy's formation, then it proves that with our current strength, we have no way to break through the enemy's formation. We can only report this matter."
Everyone responded, and then Wu Qian spoke directly: "As for the enemy attacking our base, I don't have a good solution right now. If all else fails, we can only build another teleportation array outside the base. If the enemy attacks the base, we can use that teleportation array to send reinforcements there as quickly as possible to attack the enemy. After all, the enemy may be able to seal the teleportation array inside our base, but they won't be able to seal the teleportation array we set up outside the base."
Upon hearing Wu Qian's words, everyone nodded in agreement. One of the elders said, "This is a good idea. We can give it a try. Anyway, we don't have any other options right now. The enemy's attacks are too strong. When they attack, we can't even send out messages, and the teleportation array is also unusable. This is indeed very troublesome."
Wu Qian nodded, then said, "Then it's settled."
Just then, a general walked in. He saluted Wu Qian but didn't speak. Wu Qian said in a deep voice, "What is it? Speak?"
The general immediately spoke up: "We have news from the Boulder City base. The Boulder City base has been covered by the enemy's magic array, and that magic array has been connected with the magic array at Thousand Lotus Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Wu Qian's expression changed, and he immediately said, "How is this possible? How long has it been? They've already built the magic array? That's too fast! This is impossible."
The general said, "This message was sent back by a disciple who went to investigate the situation, and I can guarantee that it is true."
Wu Qian's face turned extremely ugly. At this moment, an elder from another base spoke up: "General Wu, I think this may be related to the Creation Golden Wheel."
Wu Qian was taken aback, then he turned to look at the elder and said, "You mean the enemy used the Creation Golden Wheel to set up a magic array, connecting their array with the one at Thousand Lotus Mountain?"
The elder spoke up, "That's possible, but the person in charge of this must be a master of magic arrays. When they set up the array at Thousand Lotus Mountain, they should have left a backdoor specifically connecting our various bases. If they can conquer our bases, they can immediately use the Creation Golden Wheel to set up their own array, and then connect that array to the one at Thousand Lotus Mountain. This is entirely possible. However, in this case, the person in charge of building the array must be a top-tier master of magic arrays." (End of Chapter)
