Among the dimly lit houses, one can still vaguely make out the luxurious and extravagant decorations that were once made here.
Behind the screen carved from a huge piece of wood, the table was filled with exquisite trays. Each tray was covered with red silk, and in the center of the red silk were exquisite jade slips.
These jade slips are engraved with gorgeous patterns, and underneath the patterns are written exquisite words in dragons and phoenixes.
Those are names one after another, names that represent noble status.
Every elder of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect must leave behind a jade slip of his or her destiny. Each jade slip of his or her destiny represents the everlasting fire of life of a high-ranking elder.
Now, the jade slips of the Ninth Elder and the Tenth Elder have been broken, lying on the red silk with no luster, just like ordinary stones.
The trays of the Third Elder, the Seventh Elder, the Fifth Elder and the Fourth Elder only had red silk, but were empty. This meant that they had been dead for a long time and had not yet elected a successor.
Outside the door, someone could be vaguely heard asking something anxiously. The voices were getting louder and louder, and they were becoming more and more unruly.
"The enemy is attacking! Where are the people who came down the mountain? Why didn't they send back the news?" a voice asked anxiously.
The voice that answered him was even more confused, as if everything was in chaos: "I don't know what's going on! Some senior brothers are digging trenches near the mountain gate, and I don't know what's going on."
Everything seems to be in chaos, and no one knows what happened. They only know that a meteor fell two days ago in the morning, and today the sect is already in chaos.
"Boom!" The distant explosion made people's hearts palpitate, and everyone involuntarily looked towards the direction of the explosion.
There seemed to be a mass of darkness rising from the mountain gate at the foot, and many people involuntarily shrank their necks.
In the distant years, even the oldest old people can no longer remember when someone had the courage to act recklessly outside the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect.
Within the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect, which was filled with panic, people hurriedly ran past in the corridor from time to time. Unknowingly, the Shen Sect no longer had the calmness of the past.
"Have you heard that those monsters have invaded the sect and are fighting our people there?" A disciple whispered to his fellow disciples beside him.
They are wearing gray robes, which is a difference in status - they are just newcomers who have been absorbed, and are not considered real swordsmen.
It is precisely because they are not considered swordsmen yet that they have not been recruited to join the battle at the mountain gate. Currently, the largest number of new outer disciples left within the Shen Sect are such new outer disciples.
The Sixth Elder of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect stood on the high ground to the left of the sect's mountain gate, looking at the position that was being submerged by the explosion in the distance, with a solemn expression on his face.
The current situation is already very bad, even he has a premonition that something is not going well.
The sect originally deployed millions of troops, and the original role of these troops was to counter any possible attack by the Elanthir Empire.
However, within two days, more than two-thirds of the army of millions of swordsmen were consumed by the other side. This is no longer a war, this is simply a natural disaster!
Originally, the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect fought around the opponent's monsters that dropped from the sky. As they continued to fight, the opponent broke through the encirclement. As they continued to fight, the encirclement became the monsters surrounding the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect.
At the beginning, the Tianjian Shenzong was thinking about encircling and suppressing these invading monsters. Starting yesterday, the encirclement and suppression turned into holding on to the position, and finally turned into trapping a corner.
The huge Heavenly Sword Divine Sect now only has the Immortal Mountain directly controlled by the sect, and has lost contact with the surrounding cities and villages.
"Have you heard... these monsters eat people, they eat everything! They eat houses, flying swords, shoes, clothes..." A female swordsman told the story with a pale face.
one's own companions.
The companion's face was also ugly, and he lowered his voice and continued: "I know, I also heard that these monsters give birth to one another, and they reproduce very fast. The more they fight, the more they fight, and they can't be beaten at all..."
While the two of them were chatting and gossiping, another row of swordsmen carrying long swords passed by them. These swordsmen had all come from other cave heaven paradises for reinforcements, and their cultivation was obviously ordinary.
Even the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, which has a large population and controls dozens of worlds, has experienced a war with the Airanhill Empire and experienced the consumption of the current war. The continuous losses have begun to significantly reduce the quality of its soldiers.
Already.
They could no longer guarantee that the swordsmen they supported could still maintain a high level of cultivation. In order to ensure the number of people needed, Shenzong had to start recruiting low-level swordsmen from other worlds with obviously lower cultivation levels to supplement the sect.
The door is lost.
"Hurry! Hurry!" A swordsman carrying a long sword stood beside the team and kept waving his hands to signal the swordsmen behind to follow.
This long procession ran through the corridor, passed through the pavilions and pavilions with carved beams and painted buildings, passed through the courtyard full of rockeries, went down the stone steps, and finally disappeared into the smoke-filled distance.
Below the mountain gate, in a trench that had just been dug, the new swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Sect were bending down and passing through the dense artillery fire.
There were a few Shenzong disciples carrying crude AK-47 assault rifles, while more swordsmen were still dressed in their original attire.
On the reverse slope not far away, a dense crowd of sweepers had gathered. They bullied the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect because they had no long-range support firepower, so they dared to assemble very close to the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect's position.
The two sweepers close to each other's position nodded to each other, and the sweepers closest to the enemy raised their arms that could spray black energy and aimed them at the target in the distance.
They took advantage of their firepower and began to suppress the Tianjian Shenzong's positions. Following orders one after another, countless black energy shells landed near the layers of trenches.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" A series of explosions engulfed those trenches, and then dozens of sweepers rushed out of the reverse slope and rushed towards the gaps in the positions that had been damaged by the bombing.
On the still smoking position, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect picked up an assault rifle, pulled the trigger and fired a row of bullets.
Several sweepers who were charging at the front fell on the road, and more sweepers crossed the bodies of their companions and approached the trenches of the Tianjian Shenzong.
More than a dozen flying swords roared through the air and instantly penetrated the sweepers who were trying to get closer to the trenches. Although their attacks were powerful, the defense of these sweepers was actually not very strong.
Compared to the infantry of the Elanshir Empire, which has magical defense barriers and exoskeleton armor, these sweepers can be killed with a simple attack.
What really makes these sweepers difficult to deal with is their terrifying reproduction speed and their terrifying and terrifying numbers!
When the Tianjian Shenzong kills ten sweepers, the opponent may already have hundreds of sweepers ready to join the battle!
Such a terrifying rate of military expansion cannot be matched by the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect. Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect soon changed from taking the initiative to being passively beaten.
"There's a gap over there again! I can't hold it anymore!" A high-level swordsman from the Heavenly Sword Sect complained loudly and depressedly as he looked at the defense line that was about to collapse not far away.
Once the opponent achieves a breakthrough, they will invest a large amount of troops to immediately expand the results. Those sweepers will advance along the trenches, and soon the defense line of Tianjian Shenzong will be completely cleared.
This kind of battle has been carried out countless times, and every time the opponent does this, the Tianjian Shenzong has no good way to stop it.
At this time, many swordsmen who had participated in the previous battles with the Elanthir Empire would recall those terrible opponents of the Elantyr Empire.
If the enemies of the Elanshir Empire encounter such a situation, whether it is intensive rifle fire, or booby traps and grenades, they can delay the opponent's actions.
The accompanying increased firepower, rocket launchers and rifle grenades will also make opponents attacking the trenches pay a heavy price.
Or, the soldiers of the Airanhill Empire simply would not let their opponents get close to their defense lines easily, and minefields and long-range firepower could suppress their opponents.
What is more likely is that the attack may be from the side of the Elanshir Empire - tanks combined with infantry, and under the cover of air support, can even easily tear open the opponent's defense line.
In short, if the soldiers of the Airanhill Empire face such a situation, they will have many ways to solve the problem. Unfortunately, the swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Sect do not have these means and methods.
They had no hand grenades, no rifle grenades, no rocket launchers, and no heavy machine gun support with more powerful firepower.
Anyway, they have nothing, they can only use their own flesh and blood to fight the enemy until the last moment.
"Whoosh!" Several stubborn swordsmen used their flying swords in the trenches, and once again chopped down the several sweepers who rushed up to the ground.
Then, a plume of black smoke rose up from where they were. After the explosion, the sweepers occupied that position. As for what happened to these swordsmen, no one cared.
The battle is still going on. The defensive positions of the Tianjian Shen Sect on the outside of the sect are changing hands one after another. The battle situation has become very passive.
Several Cambridges outside the sect have long been lost, and the worlds connected by Cambridge have now been completely lost.
Like a disaster, the originally prosperous world was washed away by a flood, leaving nothing behind.
All traces of human activities have been obliterated, as if no civilization had ever appeared in these worlds.
People were devoured completely in despair, and then the nearly endless army of sweepers returned from these caves to the planet where the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect was located, and devoted themselves to the battle to strangle the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect.
Farther away, the restored Cave Heaven Paradise connecting the Cambridge here has begun to dissipate. It was the guardians who used their own technology to restore the twisted and broken space.
Every time a pillar of light disappears, it means that a paradise in the cave has been cleaned up. All life there has been ended, and all civilization there has disappeared!
The life that evolved over millions of years, and the intelligence that was born after collecting the essence of heaven and earth, all returned to silence under the destruction of the Watcher army. And it only takes less than two days for the Sweepers to sweep through a world.
That's all.
Perhaps such a cleanup will not be very thorough, but the sweepers left there will continue to breed and search until everything is destroyed!
Then these sweepers will eat each other, devour each other, and eventually dissipate together, leaving nothing behind.
They are the "terminators of civilization" in the true sense. The meaning of the existence of these guardian armies is to eliminate other civilizations and destroy all evidence of the existence of these civilizations!
Not all worlds have enough troops to resist these terrifying existences. The Cave Heaven Paradise, which is controlled by the Tianjian Shenzong that has mobilized most of its power, has no way to organize effective resistance when facing such ferocious enemies.
In those worlds where basically all the sword cultivators have been transferred, they have to face the Sweepers' army before they can make any preparations.
No matter how many ancient cold weapon armies there are with shields and spears, they are nothing more than delivering rations to the sweepers.
What makes people desperate is that the more organized the resistance is, the easier it is for the sweepers to gather together and eliminate it.
The remaining people can only hide and live in panic all day long, waiting for their own doomsday to come in despair and fear.
"Take back that position! Counterattack! If we lose it, only the sect's main position will be left!" In desperation, the leading swordsman pointed to the position in the distance and ordered the reinforcements behind him.
.
"Follow your orders!" The young swordsmen who had just been added here clasped their fists and, under the leadership of several masters, rushed towards the place where artillery fire was blazing in the distance.
In the distant sky, a huge mountain peak floating in mid-air lit up a lightsaber with condensed spiritual energy. The lightsaber roared out and hit the horizon farther away.
A mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and even the surrounding clouds were blown into a standard ring shape.
As the earth shook, the sword peak that inspired the mountain guarding formation collapsed and fell in the explosion, surrounded by dozens of Prowler fighter jets flying around it.
Another sword peak fell, and the hope in the hearts of countless swordsmen on the ground was reduced by one point. Every time the sword peak bombarded a powerful spiritual flying sword, these swordsmen would feel the power of the sect, which could explode.
Afterwards, they had to face reality and watch these powerful fairy mountains collapse and disintegrate, eventually falling and being swallowed up.
Intense gunshots rang out again, which was another futile counterattack by the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect. The newly added swordsmen hoped to regain some positions so that their fellow sects behind them could have time to reinforce more positions...
