Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16441 Offensive Methods
Chang Jun chuckled. They were all old friends, so it was normal for them to joke around. Chang Jun wasn't angry at all. He smiled and said, "I haven't been to the front lines for too long, so I've been too cautious. Okay, now that you're all here, I'm relieved. So, how long do you think we need to prepare?"

Bai Yan said, "Assemble the army, understand the situation here, then let them exchange for magical artifacts, and let them familiarize themselves with them. Ten days should be enough."

Chang Jun nodded and said, "Okay, no rush, ten days it is. But if they attack during these ten days, should we just defend and not counterattack?"

Rolling his eyes and laughing, he said, "What? Are you worried they'll break through our defensive formation?"

Chang Jun shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about that. I just think that if they attack us in the next ten days, it wouldn't be a bad idea for us to retaliate."

He chuckled and said, "There's no need. Once we're ready, our army can just push straight through."

Chang Jun nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it that way then. By the way, let Xiao Ying go with you on this mission. She's a good girl and very talented in command. Among us, you're the best commander. Let her go with you so she can learn more."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Not bad, it seems Xiao Ying is really quite good, otherwise she wouldn't have received such a high evaluation from you. Alright, then let him come with me. By the way, where's Lao Xu? What's he busy with?"

Chang Jun smiled and said, "He taught the disciples of the sect some cavalry skills. You know, he was the one who initially trained the alien cavalry. No one can compare to him in cavalry skills."

Bai Yan nodded and said, "That's true. Okay, that's settled then. I'll go back first and have Xiao Ying come find me." Chang Jun nodded, and then the group left. After they left, Chang Jun sent a letter to Xu Ying, asking her to go find Bai Yan.

When Xu Ying received this news, he was extremely excited. He was indeed very interested in commanding battles, and in the Blood Slaughter Sect, the best person to command battles was probably Bai Yan. Of course, he was excited to be able to learn from Bai Yan.

Just as the Blood Slaughter Sect members were beginning their preparations, Gongliang Juewen once again gathered everyone together. This time, he even called Wu Qian and Wen Cheng back to Wukong City. Wu Qian's current position was somewhat awkward. He was the commander of the first line of defense, but the first line of defense was gone, and Wen Cheng was the commander of the second line of defense. Therefore, Wu Qian's position on the second line of defense was very awkward.

This time, Gongliang Juewen summoned them all back. After everyone arrived, Gongliang Juewen looked at them and said, "I called you all here for two main reasons. First, should we launch a preemptive attack on the Blood Slaughter Sect? Second, should we establish a third line of defense? Let's discuss this together."

Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen's words, everyone was taken aback. They all pondered his words, understanding his meaning. Gongliang Juewen's words were quite simple: whether or not they should attack the Blood Slaughter Sect's first line of defense. To be honest, they had considered this question, but Wen Jing had previously stated that the formation at the first line of defense was too large, making it virtually impossible for them to break through. That was why they hadn't brought it up. Now that Gongliang Juewen had brought it up, they had no choice but to think about it carefully.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Gongliang Juewen turned his gaze to Wen Jing and said, "Elder Wen, you said before that the formation at the first defensive line is the Three Talents Formation, which has weaknesses. The reason we can't break through it is because with our current strength, we really can't break through the formation's weaknesses. So, can we think of another way to break through the first defensive line? Feel free to speak up. Even if there really is no way, I won't blame you."

Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen's words, Wen Jing stood up and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I've been thinking about this matter ever since I returned to the sect these past few days. Is it really impossible for us to break through the first line of defense? I checked some information within the sect and finally found a method. This method involves something called the Array-Breaking Nail. The Array-Breaking Nail is a very insidious magical artifact recorded in the sect. It is extremely difficult to forge, but once successfully forged, its power is immense. It can break through many magical arrays, and it can also be used in combination. In other words, multiple of these magical artifacts can be used together. If we use multiple Array-Breaking Nails to deal with the magical array at the first line of defense, it is still possible to break through that array."

Upon hearing Wen Jing's words, Gongliang Juewen and the others' eyes lit up. They truly hadn't expected such a magical artifact to exist; it was indeed beyond their expectations. Just as Gongliang Juewen was about to speak, they heard someone say, "It's difficult." Everyone was stunned upon hearing this voice. They then looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that the speaker was none other than Wen Jing's younger brother, Wen Cheng. This surprised everyone; they really hadn't expected Wen Cheng to stand up and oppose Wen Jing's words.

When Wen Cheng saw that everyone was looking at him, he stood up and bowed to Gongliang Juewen before saying, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Gongliang Juewen nodded and said, "Speak."

Wen Cheng nodded, then said, "It's like this, none of you have been to the front line, so you don't know much about the magic array at the first defensive line. I observed the magic array at the first defensive line before, and I found that it's not a simple Three Talents Array. When they first activated the array, it might have been a Three Talents Array, but what they're using now might not be a Three Talents Array anymore, but a magic array that we don't even know about. The triangular light on the array's protective shield might be an illusion array they deliberately created to mislead us."

His words stunned everyone. They all looked at him in confusion, wondering why he said that. Wen Cheng looked at everyone, then smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone has forgotten something. Before the Blood Slaughter Sect set up this Three Talents Formation, they first occupied Wuwei City, then Giant Stone City, and finally Cave Heaven City. They then used these three cities as nodes to set up this Three Talents Formation."

Everyone nodded. That's right, that's exactly it. They all knew it was like that, so what was wrong with it? Wen Cheng said, "It seems like everyone has forgotten that Wuwei City and Jushi City also had magic arrays. Before they became the Three Talents Array, they already had magic arrays. And their defensive magic arrays were connected to the defensive array at Qianhe Mountain. When they took over Dongtian City, Dongtian City also had a defensive array at the beginning, and that defensive array was also connected to the defensive array at Qianhe Mountain."

Upon hearing his words, everyone was taken aback. Then they all understood Wen Cheng's meaning. Gongliang Juewen said, "You mean that the defensive array at the first line of defense is connected to the defensive array at Qianhe Mountain? So the defensive array there is no longer the Three Talents Array?"

Wen Cheng nodded, and then he said, "Qianhe Mountain is not as long as the first line of defense. Logically speaking, the defensive array at Qianhe Mountain should not be able to be connected with the defensive array at the first line of defense. But the strange thing is that the defensive array at the first line of defense is connected with the defensive array at Qianhe Mountain. General Wu can also testify to this, because he saw it as well."

All eyes turned to Wu Qian. Wu Qian looked at everyone and nodded. He said in a deep voice, "Elder Wen is right. The formations are indeed connected. We flew very high, all the way above their defensive formation, and that's when we saw that the defensive formation at Qianhe Mountain is connected to the defensive formation at the first line of defense."

Upon hearing his words, everyone's expression changed. They really hadn't expected this, which surprised them greatly. If the defensive array at Thousand Lotus Mountain was the same as the defensive array at the first line of defense, then their previous judgment was completely wrong.

Wen Jing then spoke up, "If the defensive formation at Qianhe Mountain and the defensive formation at the first line of defense are really one entity, then it is indeed troublesome. The main reason is that we have no idea what kind of formation they are using there."

Everyone frowned, but Wen Cheng spoke up at this moment: "However, it's not entirely impossible to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect."

Everyone looked at him, eager to hear what he would say next.

Wen Cheng began, “Everyone heard what I just said. General Wu and I flew very high, all the way above their defensive formation, so we could see its entirety. That means their defensive formation isn't connected to the sky and the ground. In fact, their defensive formation is only about a thousand meters high, and there are no more defensive formations above that. If we want to attack the Blood Slaughter Sect, we can fly over their defensive formation and all the way to the territory occupied by the Blood Slaughter Sect, and then attack them directly. However, doing so is also dangerous. We would be bypassing the Blood Slaughter Sect's defensive formation and attacking their rear directly. If we're not careful, we'll be attacked from both sides, and then we'll be in real danger.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their faces showed expressions of sudden realization. They had forgotten about this. No defensive formation could possibly be both sky-high and earth-based. In fact, a defensive formation is like a large bowl placed on the ground, covering a certain area. This area is under the protection of the bowl, but the height of the bowl is limited. In other words, the area above the bowl is not under the protection of the defensive formation, and they can pass through it.
