1508 Shenzong's Counterattack
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 prostrating in front of him with a gloomy expression, and asked coldly, "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. It seemed that he had encountered some troubles along the way before returning here.
There were some cuts on his clothes, and some blood could be seen oozing from them. They should have been scratched by debris from the explosion, but none of them were fatal.
The swordsman fell to the ground and wailed, "Elder... Elder! I don't know what happened, but someone sent a message saying that a village in the north was suddenly attacked. The people who just arrived there , It was defeated immediately!"
"Bastard! Tell Elder Shen to quickly bring people to reinforce! Go! Thousands of people are defeated in such a muddled way, they are all waste! Waste!" The fourth elder was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the people around him to convey the message nearby. Order.
Although the defense line in the north is not as important as this side, 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 worried the Fourth Elder even more was that these monsters obviously wanted to eat people, and those occupied areas obviously had to lose a large number of people.
These, especially those who can settle down in the sect world, even if they are just mortals, have backgrounds and foundations.
For example, these mortals might be the relatives of some lecturer, or the descendants of a certain high-level swordsman, or even the ancestors of some swordsmen.
If there is a problem in these villages or portals, many swordsmen or lecturers will fry the pot—this kind of anger or resentment, whether it is the line of the first elder or the line of the second elder, cannot bear it.
"Have you lost a village, or lost several?" The fifth elder's first reaction was that there should be rescue in the north, and he should rush to rescue.
"I don't know! Elder! I don't know! When I came back, our side was already in chaos." The swordsman cried and pointed to the north, uttering 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 strengthen the defense there. As a result, we were attacked by some monsters before we left."
"There are explosions everywhere, screams everywhere! Lecturer Tang grabbed me in the chaos and asked me to send the news here..." He wiped the tears from his face as he spoke.
"Lecturer Tang...that's near Xiahe Village..." Looking at the map, the Fifth Elder's face immediately turned pale.
The enemy has occupied the vicinity of Xiahe Village, which means that the encirclement in the north has been completely broken through. The Heavenly Sword Sect's plan to contain these monsters is tantamount to a complete failure.
Even if he took people to the north now, he probably could only clean up the stalls a little bit, and couldn't immediately plug this huge gap.
"Our people in the north are defeated, and it's hard to say what's going on in the south." The Fourth Elder frowned and said.
Their side is the main frontal line of defense, because their side is actually the closest to the Xianshan sect of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Therefore, the reinforcements they can get are the fastest, and the swordsmen who are reinforced generally have higher cultivation bases.
Even so, they are still struggling to support, because the combat power invested by the opponent is getting stronger and stronger.
It is a huge multi-legged monster that both the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder feel slightly troublesome. Ordinary flying swords can't hurt it at all. Most of the time, it needs a lecturer's shot or a magic weapon to destroy it.
However, such magic tools, including the aura accumulated by lecturers, are quite precious combat power. To consume them like this at the beginning of the battle really makes many swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Sect feel a little bad.
They are not the Alan Hill Empire, who can squander the weapons in their hands at full capacity. Most of the weapons in their hands are wealth accumulated over a long period of time.
The Heavenly Sword Sect, which has not completed industrial accumulation at all, needs a long time to make every magic weapon before it can exert its power in battle.
It was precisely because of this that in the battle on the front line of defense, the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder brought reinforcements, but they could barely maintain the situation.
But they can support it, but it doesn't mean that swordsmen in other directions can also withstand the enemy's attack.
"Fifth Elder, take someone to the south to have a look yourself! If there are troubles on both sides, it will be meaningless for us to continue to stick to this place." The Fourth Elder looked at the battle still going on not far away. On the battlefield, I was a little nervous and continued to ask the fifth elder.
He had seen the scene of the attack of the Alan Hill Empire troops, and the scene in front of him was indeed more and more like the war he didn't want to recall.
Countless enemy troops rushed into the seemingly fragile defense line in front of him. It seemed that in a few minutes, the land under his feet would change hands.
"Elder! Fourth Elder! Fifth Elder! It's not good, something is not right!" Another swordsman who reported the funeral rushed up to the high ground, prostrated himself in front of the two of them, and shouted loudly.
"What's wrong again? What mess are you guys doing...?" the Fourth Elder yelled loudly, furious.
The swordsman who came to report the funeral hurriedly lowered his head, but the bad news came out at the same time: "Ammunition...the ammunition is almost gone! The sect reserves a limited amount, what should we do?"
Originally, the Tianjian Shenzong, which imitated the AK-47 assault rifle, was a backward production system dominated by manual workshops.
If they imitate 98K or other firearms, it may be more suitable for them.
But the problem is that the weapons they seized on the battlefield are assault rifles, and they have no choice but to imitate this weapon.
In terms of ammunition consumption, the burst assault rifle can be said to be a nightmare for the handicraft production system. The ammunition accumulated for more than a year was squandered by a group of Shenzong disciples who were extremely nervous about facing the monster.
Although some waterwheel-powered or Lingshi-powered semi-automated production equipment has been developed in the past year or so, these equipment are still not enough to produce bullets.
To be able to supply ammunition for tens of thousands of assault rifles, it must be the full capacity of the bullet factory in the true sense.
This is the most important reason why Chris deployed the 98K bolt-action rifle first, instead of leaping to the AK-47.
Think about it, Japan in 1940 morbidly gave up submachine gun equipment because bullet production could not keep up with the pace of demand, not to mention that the degree of industrialization was not as good as Japan's Tianjian Shenzong at that time.
"I'm just going to see the south side now, what can I do?" The Fifth Elder sighed and asked helplessly.
The Fourth Elder's face was ashen, and he also knew that at present, nothing could be done. So he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said, "For the current plan, we can only join forces to break through the enemy army from the front, defeat the enemy in front, and then go north to hunt down those monsters!"
This is also the tactic most likely to defeat the enemy in front of him so far, which Heavenly Sword Sect can choose.
The Fourth Elder, who has been persecuted to this extent, already has the idea of fighting 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 your and my strength, we can't defeat the enemy in front of us!" The fifth elder looked at the disciples of the sect who were passively beaten in the distance, and sighed worriedly.
He didn't 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 now thinking about a question that he has never thought about before: If Shenzong is defeated and the sect is destroyed, what evil things he has done in his life? , what is the point.
If he was no longer the fifth elder of Shenzong, he could only watch helplessly as the foundation of the sect was destroyed, what would be the point of his life.
While thinking about such a question, he instinctively did not reject the suggestion of the fourth elder. Because he seemed to be able to empathize with him, knowing that the Fourth Elder at this moment had the same thoughts as him.
A smell called despair spread in the fifth elder's nostrils, and even made his eyes feel extremely uncomfortable. He felt that his eyes were about to shed tears, but they were too dry to condense the tears.
At this moment, the fourth elder also sighed in his heart, if he knew this earlier, why did he do it in the first place? In order to get to where he is today, he has exhausted his brains and done all kinds of unconscionable things, but in the end, everything seems to be in vain.
When an enemy stronger than Shenzong came to kill him, everything was just a passing moment, and everything seemed to be no longer so important. What about the elders? The third elder, the seventh elder, the current fifth elder, and myself, the fourth elder, still want to fight a powerful enemy?
It's just that the meaning of intrigue in my life seems to have become a bitter joke.
Both of them had mixed feelings in their hearts. They glanced at each other, and then they both saw their embarrassment in each other's eyes.
"Let the two of us go for a walk!" The fifth elder cupped his hands, jumped up first, and began to attack the sweeper army in the distance.
The fourth elder also followed, and the two of them were as fast as lightning, and instantly crashed into a group of four-armed sweepers who were attacking.
The flying swords of the two of them were as swift as shooting stars, surrounding them, harvesting the sweepers who hadn't recovered.
The sharp flying sword flicked lightly, and the arms of several sweepers were cut off. The other flying sword is as light as a ghost, flying up and down in the crowd, taking heads like a game.
While the Fifth Elder kept harvesting the enemy's life with his flying sword, he condensed three giant swords shining with golden light behind him.
With a loud shout, the three giant swords flew out and hit the nearby ground, causing a huge explosion.
Where the shock wave affected, the sweeper soldiers were immediately turned upside down, 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 his luck. Three flying swords that were also shining with light flew out in three directions. The left and right flying swords also penetrated into the crowd of sweepers, causing an explosion and swallowing many enemies.
A flying sword in the middle directly pierced through a Destroyer not far away, blasting the Destroyer's huge body into pieces.
These two are an army, like a sharp knife, piercing into the army of guards. They harvested the Sweeper like mowing grass, and destroyed the powerful Destroyer, and they actually stopped the enemy's offensive in an instant.
The encouraged senior sword cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect also jumped out of their hiding place at this moment, followed the two elders, and started to fight back.
They protected the left and right sides of the two elders, and hundreds of flying swords swept across the battlefield like willow leaves in the wind.
The Sweeper troops, who were still invincible just now, were thrown into disarray by such a counterattack, and they couldn't stop retreating for a while.
"Shenzong disciples! Follow me to kill the enemy!" Seeing that the attack of the two had an effect, the fourth and fifth elders shouted excitedly.
"Kill the enemy!" The hundreds of high-level swordsmen following them were like a rainbow, and they also shouted loudly.
"The Heavenly Sword Divine Sect is Evergreen!" The fifth elder once again condensed three flying swords at this time, controlled them to fly across the battlefield, and shouted loudly
"The sect is mighty!" Those swordsmen who thought they had won also followed up bravely and shouted loudly at the same time.
The counterattacking swordsmen including the Fifth Elder and the Fourth Elder didn't know that when they were advancing bravely, the sweepers on both wings had already entered the position of the Heavenly Sword God Sect.
While the two elders led their men into the enemy's position, the enemies on both sides had already bit into their flanks like pliers.
The sweepers on both sides have already begun to attack the middle. Their purpose is to surround the counterattacking enemies and completely keep the elite of these enemies here.
"Look! Look at those evil forces that disturb the space!" A sweeper looked at the Cambridge beams of light that connected the Heavenly Sword God Sect and other blessed places, and said with disgust.
"Those things shouldn't exist in this world!" Another sweeper commented coldly, twisting the insect-like mouthparts.
"Attack! Destroy everything here!" A Destroyer climbed up the high slope, twisted his huge body, and quickly climbed towards a beam of light closest to the battlefield.
"Unexpectedly, this is a node that connects countless virus-infected planets! Hahahaha! Interesting! Interesting! We made money this time! Hahahaha!" In the universe, Solons' four eyes were shining red in the dark His voice floated excitedly in the boundless darkness.
