On the battlefield where the situation seemed to be getting more and more passive, the fifth elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect looked at the swordsman who prostrated before him with a gloomy expression, and asked in a cold voice: "What did you say? The encirclement on the other side was broken through? What is the breakthrough? Meaning? What exactly does it mean?”
The swordsman also looked very embarrassed, as if he had encountered some troubles along the way before returning here.
There were some cuts on his clothes, and some blood could be seen seeping out of them. They should have been scratched by debris thrown up by the explosion, but they were not fatal.
The swordsman prostrated himself on the ground and wailed: "Elder... Elder! I don't know what happened specifically. It's just that someone sent a message saying that a village in the north was suddenly attacked. The people who just rushed there were , it was immediately defeated!”
"Asshole! Tell Elder Shen to quickly bring people to reinforce him! Go quickly! Thousands of people were defeated in such a confused manner. They are all rubbish! Trash!" The fourth elder was taken aback and quickly ordered the people around him to convey the message nearby. Order.
Although the defense line in the north is not as important as here, it is still part of the encirclement. With such a hole being torn open, it is obvious that the encirclement may have been damaged.
What worries the fourth elder even more is that these monsters obviously want to eat people, and those occupied areas will obviously lose a large number of people.
These, especially those who can settle down in the sect world, even if they are just mortals, have a background and foundation.
For example, these mortals might be the relatives of some lecturer, or the descendants of a high-level swordsman, or even more likely the ancestors of some swordsmen.
If there is a problem in these villages or portals, many swordsmen or lecturers will be upset - neither the Great Elder nor the Second Elder can afford this anger or resentment.
"Did we lose one village, or just a few?" The fifth elder's first reaction was that there should be some rescue in the north, and he should rush there to rescue them.
"I don't know! Elder! I don't know! When I came back, there was already chaos over there." The swordsman cried and pointed to the north, and came to a desperate conclusion.
He seemed to be recalling the scene at that time and reported: "Lecturer Tang was sending people to a nearby village to reinforce the defense there. As a result, before everyone set out, they were attacked by some monsters."
"There were explosions everywhere and screams everywhere! Professor Tang grabbed me in the chaos and asked me to send the news here..." He said while wiping the tears on his face.
"Instructor Tang... That's all near Xiahe Village..." Looking at the map, the fifth elder's face suddenly turned pale.
The enemy has occupied the vicinity of Xiahe Village, which means that the encirclement in the north has been completely broken. The Tianjian Shenzong's plan to contain these monsters also means that it has completely failed.
Even if he takes people to the north now, he will probably be able to clean up the stall bit by bit, and will not be able to block this huge gap immediately.
"Our people in the north were defeated. It's hard to say what the situation is in the south." The fourth elder frowned and said.
Their side is the main frontal defense line, because their side is actually closest to the Immortal Mountain Sect of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Therefore, they can get the fastest reinforcements, and the swordsmen who come with reinforcements are generally higher in cultivation.
Even so, they are still struggling to hold on, because the fighting power invested by the opponent is getting stronger and stronger.
A huge multi-legged monster that made both the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder feel slightly troublesome. Normal flying swords could not damage it at all. Most of the time, it required a lecturer or a magic weapon to destroy it.
But such magical weapons, including the accumulated spiritual energy of lecturers and the like, are quite valuable combat power. To be consumed like this just after the battle has just begun, it really makes many swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Sect feel a little bad.
They are not the Ilanthil Empire, which can use its full production capacity to squander the weapons in their hands. Most of the weapons in their hands are wealth accumulated over a long period of time.
The Heavenly Sword Sect, which has not completed its industrial accumulation at all, requires a long time to make each magical weapon before it can exert its power in battle.
It is precisely because of this that in the battle on the frontal defense line, the fourth elder and the fifth elder brought reinforcements, but they could only barely maintain the situation.
But just because they can hold up, it doesn't mean that swordsmen in other directions can also withstand the enemy's attacks.
"Fifth Elder, you should personally take people to the south to take a look! If there is really trouble on both sides, it will be meaningless for us to continue to hold on here." The Fourth Elder looked at the people who were still fighting in the distance.
On the battlefield, he continued to ask the fifth elder nervously.
He had seen the scene of the attack by the Airansil Empire troops, and the scene in front of him was indeed becoming more and more like the war that he did not want to recall.
Countless enemy troops rushed into the fragile defense line in front of him, and it seemed as if the ground beneath his feet would change hands in a few minutes.
"Elder! Fourth Elder! Fifth Elder! Something bad has happened!" Another swordsman reporting the funeral rushed up to the high ground and prostrated himself in front of the two men, shouting loudly.
"Why is it bad again? You bunch of drunkards... what kind of mess are you doing?" The fourth elder became angry and scolded loudly.
The swordsman who came to announce the funeral quickly lowered his head, but at the same time the bad news came out: "Ammunition... the ammunition is almost gone! The sect has a limited reserve, what should we do?"
Originally, the Tianjian Shenzong, which copied the AK-47 assault rifle, had a backward production system based on manual workshops.
If they were imitating 98K or other firearms, they would probably be more suitable for them.
But the problem is that the weapons they seized on the battlefield were assault rifles, and they had no choice but to imitate them.
In terms of ammunition consumption, the continuous-fire assault rifle can be said to be a nightmare for the handicraft production system. The ammunition accumulated for more than a year was just squandered by a group of Shenzong disciples who were extremely nervous in the face of monsters.
Although some waterwheel-powered or spirit-stone-powered semi-automatic production equipment has been developed in the past year or so, these equipment are still only a drop in the bucket when used to produce bullets.
To be able to supply ammunition for tens of thousands of assault rifles, a bullet factory must be at full production capacity.
This is the most important reason why Chris first deployed the 98K bolt-action rifle instead of jumping to the AK-47.
Think about it, in 1940, Japan sickly gave up on submachine gun equipment because bullet production could not keep up with the pace of demand, not to mention that the level of industrialization was not as good as Japan's Tianjian Shenzong at that time.
"I just want to take a look at the south, what can I do?" The fifth elder sighed and asked helplessly.
The fourth elder's face was ashen, and he knew that it seemed that nothing could be done. So he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said: "For the current plan, we can only work together to break through the enemy's army from the front and defeat the enemy from the front.
, let’s go north to chase those monsters!”
This is also the tactic that the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect can choose so far and is most likely to defeat the enemy in front of them.
The fourth elder, who had been forced to this extent, had already begun to think of a fight to the death here.
Because he knew in his heart that facing such an enemy, if he could not win now, after the opponent occupied more and more places, there would be no possibility of a comeback on his side.
"I'm afraid, with the strength of you and me, we can't defeat the enemy in front of us!" The fifth elder looked at the sect disciples who were passively being beaten in the distance, and sighed worriedly.
He did not refuse because he knew that what the fourth elder said now was indeed the best choice.
Although he is selfish and forms cliques, the fifth elder is currently thinking about a question that he has never thought about: If Shenzong fails and the sect is destroyed, he will have done countless evil things in his life.
, what is the meaning of it?
If he is no longer the fifth elder of the Shen Sect and can only watch the sect's foundation being destroyed, what's the point of his life?
While thinking about such a problem, he instinctively did not reject the fourth elder's suggestion because he seemed to be able to empathize with it and knew that the fourth elder at this moment also had the same idea as him.
A smell called despair spread in the fifth elder's nasal cavity, making his eyes extremely uncomfortable. He felt that his eyes wanted to cry, but they were too dry to form tears.
At this moment, the fourth elder also sighed in his heart, if he had known this, why did he do it in the first place? In order to climb to this position today, he tried his best and did all the unscrupulous things, but in the end, it seemed that everything was just
All in vain.
When an enemy more powerful than Shenzong came over, everything was just a passing cloud, and everything seemed not so important anymore. What about the elders? The three elders, the seventh elder, the current fifth elder, and myself, the fourth elder, still have to fight against powerful enemies.
Fight for your life?
It's just that the meaning of intrigues in my life seems to have become a bitter joke.
The two of them had mixed feelings in their hearts. They glanced at each other, and then they both saw their own embarrassment in each other's eyes.
"Let the two of us have a chance!" The fifth elder cupped his hands, jumped up first, and began to attack the army of sweepers in the distance.
The fourth elder also followed suit. The two of them were as fast as lightning and instantly crashed into the attacking formation of a group of four-armed sweepers.
The flying swords of the two of them were as fast as meteors, surrounding them, harvesting the sweepers who had not yet recovered.
The sharp flying sword flicked by and sliced off the arms of several sweepers. The other flying sword was as light as a ghost, flying up and down in the crowd, picking off people's heads like a game.
While the fifth elder kept harvesting the lives of his enemies with his flying swords, three giant swords flashing with golden light formed behind him.
He shouted loudly, and the three giant swords flew out and hit the ground nearby, causing a huge explosion.
Wherever the shock wave hit, the sweeper soldiers suddenly fell on their backs, and even some sweepers who were close to the explosion area were torn into pieces by the explosion.
The fourth elder stood behind the fifth elder, concentrating on luck. Three flying swords with the same shining light flew out in three directions. The two flying swords on the left and right also penetrated into the crowd of sweepers, causing explosions and swallowing many enemies.
A flying sword in the middle directly penetrated a Destroyer not far away, blasting the Destroyer's huge body into pieces.
These two people were an army, like a sharp knife, piercing into the army of guards. They harvested the sweepers like mowing grass, and destroyed the powerful destroyers. In an instant, they actually stopped the enemy's offensive.
.
The senior sword cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect were inspired and jumped out of their hiding place at this moment, followed the two elders, and started to counterattack.
They protected the left and right sides of the two elders, and hundreds of flying swords flew across the battlefield like willow leaves in the wind.
The sweeper troops, who had been arrogant just now, were disrupted by such a counterattack, and for a while they couldn't help but retreat.
"Disciple of the Shenzong! Follow me and kill the enemy!" Seeing that the two men's attacks were effective, the fourth elder and the fifth elder shouted excitedly.
"Kill the enemy!" The hundreds of high-level swordsmen following them shouted loudly with great momentum.
"The Heavenly Sword Divine Sect will last forever!" The fifth elder once again condensed three flying swords at this time, controlled them to fly across the battlefield, and shouted loudly taking advantage of the situation.
"The sect is mighty!" Those swordsmen who thought they had won also bravely moved forward and shouted loudly at the same time.
The counterattacking swordsmen, including the Fifth Elder and the Fourth Elder, did not know that while they were moving forward bravely, the sweepers on both wings had already invaded the Tianjian Shenzong's position.
While the two elders led their men to attack the enemy's position, the enemies on both sides were already biting into their flanks like pliers.
The sweepers on both sides have begun to attack the center. Their purpose is to surround the enemies who are counterattacking and completely keep the elites of these enemies here.
"Look! Look at the evil forces disrupting the space!" A sweeper said with disgust as he looked at the Cambridge light pillars connecting the Heavenly Sword Sect and other cave heaven paradises.
"Those things shouldn't exist in this world!" Another cleaner commented coldly, twisting his insect-like mouthparts.
"Attack! Destroy everything here!" A Destroyer climbed up the high slope, twisted his huge body, and climbed quickly towards the light pillar closest to the battlefield.
"I didn't expect that this is a node that connects countless virus-infected planets! Hahahaha! Interesting! Interesting! We made a profit this time! Hahahaha!" In the universe, Solons's four eyes flashed red in the darkness.
The light, his voice floating excitedly in the boundless darkness.
