Chapter 1448： Chaotic street fighting

While the war between the Ailanhir Empire and the Heavenly Sword God Sect was in full swing, in the vast universe, no one could predict that there was such a terrifying existence, which was continuously accelerating towards the Ailanhill Empire.

Every time it passes through a galaxy, this group of dark shadows has to accelerate again. At this moment, its speed has already reached a terrifying level.

As this weird sphere accelerates towards the Ailanhill Empire, the Ailanhill Empire's ground forces on the Hope 2 planet are also accelerating towards the defense line of the Heavenly Sword God Sect.

Outside the Holy Religious City, the Seven Elders' fantasy counterattack did not succeed, and the positions continued to be lost. There were even some soldiers from the Ailan Hill Empire who had attacked the walls of the Holy Religious City.

Among the ruined walls, two Heavenly Sword Shenzong swordsmen stationed in the Shengjiao City urged their own mana to inspire a magic weapon and launch a flying sword of light.

This flying sword hit the wall of a building across the street. The huge explosion caused that wall to collapse and hit the Type 99 main battle tank that was moving slowly on the street.

However, because the falling stones were not too many, the tank was still moving forward slowly, its barrel still pointed at the front mightily, and its figure slowly opened out of the tumbling dust.

"Suddenly!" The weapon station on the tank turret turned its muzzle and fired frantically at the threatened place.

The tracer densely covered the hiding place of the two Heavenly Sword Shenzong swordsmen who urged the magic weapon to launch an attack, and smashed the place into rubble.

The Ailan Hill Empire soldiers following the tank carried the rocket launcher on his shoulders, and behind him, the loader pushed a rocket into the barrel and plugged in the ignition line.

Ready to launch, the shooter squeezed the trigger, and the rocket spewed flames and smoke, and rushed to where the two Heavenly Sword Shenzong swordsmen were hiding.

"Boom!" The huge explosion engulfed the ruins at once, and the rising smoke could be clearly seen several blocks away.

The flying stones rolled into the distance, and the soldiers of the Ailan Hill Empire carrying weapons rushed into the ruins before the smoke cleared and began to investigate the nearby dangers.

They searched cautiously until they saw the two corpses lying on the ground where the explosion occurred, and then put down their assault rifles.

"Safe!" The leading officer raised his fist and said to his comrades who were covering: "The target is dead!"

Not far behind them, a huge explosion happened again on a section of the remaining city wall. I don't know if it was an artillery shell that hit the city wall, or whether the engineer deliberately buried explosives to expand the line of defense for the follow-up troops.

In short, that section of the city wall can be considered weather-beaten. After having survived the orbital bombing and the previous shelling, it was finally overwhelmed at this moment and collapsed in the explosion.

The battle has only broken out for a few hours, and fierce street fighting has already begun in several places.

The tug-of-war in the fantasy of the Seven Elders did not appear, and the entire battlefield was completely one-sided.

Most of the swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword God Sect in the periphery were eliminated, and many of them took the wounded and raised their hands to surrender.

What the Seventh Elder, as the commander, never expected was that he stuck to the plan of delaying time in the Holy Religious City, and also showed signs of failure early on.

Because of the lack of forces involved, the troops of the Ailan Hill Empire began to move south after they surrounded the Holy City.

Burrison did not waste time on the Holy Religious City, but neatly organized some troops and directly started a tentative attack on Cambridge.

He was also eager to save people. What he didn't expect was that such a move to grab time would become a wonderful move when placed here and now.

Although the strength of the Ailan Hill Empire troops that went directly south was small, only about one regiment, the psychological pressure on the Shenzong troops who were attacking Cambridge was unprecedentedly huge.

These unidentified Heavenly Sword God Sect swordsmen felt that they had been surrounded and the Holy Cult City had been lost. So they were desperate and chaotic, and a large number of swordsmen chose to surrender, and all of a sudden the disciples of the Jiuyou faction became busy.

"Boom!" Another shell landed in the city. After the ground moved and the mountains shook, a nearby building with only walls collapsed, and a series of rumbling noises were made.

The swordsmen nearby avoided the falling gravel as they were used to, and then fanned away the dust around the dry food in their hands, and continued to eat their own lunch.

It was just noon now, and the outer defense line of the Heavenly Sword God Sect had almost lost a clean one. If calculated by area, their defense area has been compressed by four-fifths.

The remaining one-fifth was almost in the city, and a large number of wounded were too late to be transferred. As the troops of the Ailan Hill Empire advanced, they constantly found wounded swordsmen lying on the bed or on the door.

Some of the wounded have become corpses because there is no one to take care of them, and some are barely alive, leaving only the strength to call for help.

Most of the living wounded would give up resistance, and a few would choose to commit suicide to escape the fate of being captured.

In short, the battle went smoothly, much more smoothly than planned. The expected fierce resistance only occurred in local areas. Most of the time, the advancement of the Ailan Hill Empire did not encounter an organized counterattack.

The Heavenly Sword Shenzong swordsmen who were defeated all the way found that they could no longer stop their defeat. In the beginning they just gave up some positions, and then they were forced to give up some blocks, and now... they found that they didn't have the courage to go back and go to a real fight.

After finally getting out of contact with the enemy, the swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword God Sect rested behind a ruin. They were still holding on near the city wall more than an hour ago, and now they have retreated to the vicinity of the big pit in the civilian area.

This big crater was left by orbital bombing, and now it is full of stagnant water, like a circular artificial lake.

Seeing this huge crater, the swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword God Sect who had escaped from the battlefield felt even weaker. They don't think they have the ability to fight against enemies with such terrifying power.

"Hurry up and rest! Then we have to go around and go to the opposite side..." An old lecturer headed by the head ordered to these dazed disciples: "Go find the same door over there and see if you can stop the enemy and approach the city center area."
