In the Holy City, Lecturer Qian paced back and forth in the hall that had changed beyond recognition. The harsh sound of gunfire outside the window was getting closer and closer to his location.
This feeling is really unpleasant. The Seventh Elder left without saying goodbye...or in other words, he ran away from the battlefield, leaving Qian Tong Liushen without a master.
Originally, he should have left this place of right and wrong long ago, but it was the arrival of the Seventh Elder that cut off his Qiantong's chance to escape early.
Now, almost all hope fell on the hidden flying boats. Especially, after plundering so many spiritual stones and magic weapons, he couldn't escape alone.
At this moment, he was standing on a high place, overlooking the position that was being lost bit by bit, with no sadness or joy on his face.
Because the Seventh Elder disappeared first, he withdrew from the battle with some of his confidants, and some took the blame - so he was not afraid of returning to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and he did not have to worry about being punished.
Coupled with the wealth he and his men collected during this battle, as long as he can return safely, he will be able to make a comeback and gain a higher status.
However, what he saw in front of him still gave him a depressing feeling that the situation was over. The swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect, who had run out of ammunition and food, were on their own defense line, and were overwhelmed by the increasingly fierce firepower of the Elanthir Empire.
.
Originally, the situation where we could occasionally defend ourselves is no longer visible. When a cannonball falls, no one will foolishly waste their spiritual energy to intercept these endless cannonballs.
Huge explosions shot up into the sky in bomb craters and trenches, and the dust they raised fell like raindrops, hitting the ground with a crackling sound.
The whole earth is shaking, the whole city is collapsing, this is purgatory on earth, and this is the most cruel desperate situation.
"Are you ready?" Feeling someone coming behind him, Lecturer Qian Tongqian asked without looking back.
The little apprentice who came forward bowed and clasped his fists, and reported: "I'm telling you, Master, more than half of the belongings have been moved to the flying boat."
He had an excited smile on his face. These spiritual stones and other magical weapons were definitely a considerable amount of wealth. As long as they could leave here with these things, their future would be bright.
As for these belongings, these belongings occupy a large number of airships, so that the airships that could have taken many people away can now only carefully select their confidants to board.
However, for Qian Tong, these are not important. As long as he has status and can obtain higher and better positions, he can find more and more people.
"Boom!" Another cannonball fell, and this time it hit the Vatican's castle. The explosion collapsed a section of the castle's outer wall, and also knocked down a tall tower on the edge of the castle.
Blue boulders hit the ruins one after another, raising a cloud of white dust. The castle, which originally seemed to be extremely solid, was crumbling in the shock.
"Let's go!" Qian Tong took one last look at the castle that was about to collapse, watching it swaying in the explosion, sighed, turned around and walked down the high ground.
Said to be high ground, this place is just the ruins of a building piled with rubble. Not far from here, a Type 99 main battle tank is rotating its turret and aiming its artillery at the swordsman who is resisting.
position.
Suddenly, a ball of fire erupted from the muzzle, and a shell hit the position, causing a wave of air to reach the sky.
The swordsmen who resisted there were staggered by the explosion, and the swordsmen who had exhausted their spiritual energy were knocked to the ground by flying shrapnel.
Two embarrassed swordsmen dragged their wounded companions and bent down through a hastily dug trench. Where they passed, the body of a dead swordsman lay in the corner, with visible signs on his face.
An unwilling look.
The Heavenly Sword Shen Sect's defense in the Holy City has completely collapsed. They have now lost effective command and coordination, and are left to fight on their own in despair.
They were struggling on the battlefield and no longer knew what they were doing. They didn't know what they should do, and they didn't know what their fellow disciples were doing.
If it wasn't because they didn't know, maybe they would have collapsed. Ignorance can sometimes breed courage. Not being able to see the terrifying scene of the entire battlefield allowed some swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect to barely persist in continuing to fight.
However, this kind of reluctance can no longer persist for too long. Even if they don't know that the battle situation has completely collapsed, even if they still have persistence and hope in their hearts, their remaining abilities can no longer allow them to continue to stop the enemy.
The pace of attack has begun.
"I'll give you another half hour! Move all the belongings to the flying boat as soon as possible!" Qian Tong ordered as he walked down the high ground.
The young apprentice who was following him immediately agreed: "Master, don't worry! The disciple has arranged enough manpower to carry those things with all his strength."
"It's still too slow. Go and supervise them yourself. They must be transported away!" Qian Tong was still worried, so he ordered.
"Yes! Disciple, go and do it now!" The young disciple did not dare to leave the flying boat too far away at this time. To be honest, in this situation, there is no telling when he will set off. If he leaves the flying boat too far,
If you can't find yourself by then, who can wait?
The safest way is to stay next to the flying boat and be the first to get on the boat when it's time to leave. This is the safest option.
So he didn't have any resistance to the task given to him by his master, and he agreed simply.
However, just as he agreed, a brilliant spark suddenly burst out from the place where the flying boat was hidden in the distance.
A rocket fell from the sky and hit an area that had not been visited by artillery shells for a long time.
Then, the next second, the second rocket fell almost vertically. Although it was intercepted by a flying sword that rushed into the sky, it still landed in the target area before exploding.
Immediately afterwards, the third, fourth, fifth and sixth rockets also fell, and a series of explosions sounded in the open space where the spaceship was parked and filled with cargo.
In just an instant, the swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect who were loading and unloading the cargo were overturned, and the cargo was blown away and chopped into pieces by the shock wave. The flying boats parked aside were also submerged in the flames one after another.
"..." Looking at the series of sudden attacks, the young apprentice's eyes widened, his face twisted and twitched unnaturally, and for a moment he was unable to even speak bitterly...
