Tiger Hill Swords House, the mountain gate formation had been fully activated! The entire sect was in a state of numbness after a long period of war!
The war had been going on for nearly ten years. At the beginning, they were evenly matched, but in the middle of the war, they were in a stalemate, and now they were completely at a disadvantage! The entire process was full of variables, and also full of mistakes!
When Zerg first appeared, Tiger Hill Swords House's judgment was rather optimistic. They thought that Zerg would tactfully leave after encountering a firm resistance. This was not a delusion, but a habit of Zerg. When they could not defeat their opponent in one go, they would always choose their next target, and would not waste too much of their strength on a tough opponent!
Zerg also had a cost-effectiveness ratio. If they drifted in the universe for too long, it would greatly affect the growth of their species. In short, if they were soft, they would swallow them, and if they were hard, they would avoid them!
Tiger Hill Swords House could not be said to be very strong. They could not completely defeat Zerg in a direct confrontation, but they could still maintain a frontal defense. In theory, Zerg should not waste too much time and energy here, and should be looking for their next target!
Therefore, in the first three years of the war, the two races fought fiercely against each other. In terms of losses, Zerg suffered more!
But what surprised the people of Tiger Hill was that these Zergs seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. They seemed to have fixed their eyes on Tiger Hill, and had no intention of leaving!
Were they trying to destroy everything?
After another two years, the people of Tiger Hill felt that something was wrong. This was because Zerg had begun to release small Zergs into the realm!
With Zerg's habits, they would only release small Zergs into the human realm to absorb nutrients when they had completely conquered or gained the upper hand. If they did so too early, it would result in a large number of deaths. This was because the low-level Zergs were far inferior to human Foundation Establishment Jin Dan cultivators in the Qi layer!
Such a rash action could only mean one thing. This swarm was determined to obtain Tiger Hill. They were willing to risk huge losses to create trouble for humans in the domain and disrupt the normal cultivation environment of humans!
After understanding this point, the people of Tiger Hill weighed the pros and cons and sent a request for help to the Sword Vein of the faraway Zhou Xian Upper Realm! This was one of their few options. Only an Upper Realm like the Zhou Xian Upper Realm would dare to send reinforcements without fear of retaliation. Meanwhile, in the small territories near Tiger Hill, there were either very few Yuanying Upper Realms, or the Upper Realms were too chaotic to form a united force, or they did not have a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of the Upper Realm!
There were always very few forces that dared to go on an expedition in the universe, as it involved too many problems. With his current strength, what would he do if he ventured out of his lair? Would there be anyone from the outer realms eyeing him covetously? Would there be anyone from the inner realms taking advantage of the situation?
Then, he persevered while waiting. Until last year, Zerg's forces suddenly grew. There was no change in the number of True Lords, but the number of Yuanying Upper Realm had more than doubled! The reason was that Zerg had used a special method of communication to bring in two more small swarms!
The Tiger Hill Swords House began to fall into a state of total defense! Fighting in the universe had become dangerous, so they could only hide behind the mountain gate's formation and wait for possible reinforcements.
To be honest, if the people of Tiger Hill had chosen to fight the moment Zerg arrived, they would have had a sixty percent chance of winning. However, now, they had less than a ten percent chance. The overwhelming Yuanying Swarm would tear them apart!
Waiting was torturous, but it didn't mean that they couldn't do anything. The Tiger Hill Swordsman had sent out all their Foundation Establishment Jin Dan to fight against the Swarm that was becoming more and more serious. Some of the Yuanying Swordsman had also joined in. The main force of the Tiger Hill Sword Vein could only rely on the mountain gate and choose to launch attacks from time to time to prevent the Swarm from invading the realms.
The casualties had suddenly increased in the past year. Out of the six True Lords, none of them had died in the first ten years of war, but in the past year, two of them had died! Almost half of the thirty to forty Yuanying Swords House had left. Under such circumstances, they could only hold on for a limited amount of time! If reinforcements still didn't arrive, they would either die in battle or break out of the Sword Vein House!
No one would choose to break out of the Sword Vein House because doing so would mean abandoning the mortals of the mainland and letting them struggle in the face of the Swarm's rampage. It would also mean abandoning the middle and low-level Swordsman and letting their foundation be destroyed!
The four True Lords stood outside the Sword Vein House with solemn expressions. The sect and the mainland were facing a crisis of life and death, but as the leaders, they couldn't come up with any feasible countermeasures. It was truly despairing.
Beside them was a huge Spiritual Crown, which was similar to Lou Xiaoyi's binoculars. Through it, they could see into the distance that cultivators couldn't reach! There were no signs of spiritual energy fluctuations.
Wen Zhenjun's expression was lonely. He could feel the heavy pressure of the Swarm's headquarters outside the Sword Vein House. His mood was gloomy.
"Just wait like this! Foundation Establishment Jin Dan Swords House are dying every day, but we don't know when it will end. Why don't we just rush out and ask for a quick death? It's better than suffering here! "
Zhou Zhenjun was expressionless. "Even if we want a quick death, we need to find a good opportunity to kill as many people as possible. I haven't seen such an opportunity yet!"
Zhu Zhenjun sighed. "Opportunities are created by fighting, not by waiting! Yesterday, we lost another Yuanying. Now, there are less than twenty Yuanying left. Even if there are fewer Yuanying, even if we fight to the death with Zerg, how much can we do? "
Actually, with Tiger Hill's current strength as a Grand Cultivator, it was already impossible for them to defeat Zerg. However, if they just wanted to break out of the encirclement, they could still do it by paying a price. The problem was, how were they going to bring away the low-level cultivators?
They could only take a floating raft. However, if they took a raft, how could they escape from the enemy's absolute advantage in numbers? It was no different from seeking death. Death was worthless. Now, they could at least contribute by killing the Swarm's Swarm!
Letting the low-level cultivators contribute in the Swarm while they, the Grand Cultivators, ran away alone? Which Orthodoxy would do such an irresponsible thing?
Tang Zhenjun, who was the leader, let out a long sigh. "Now that things have come to this, I am to blame! I didn't deal with it properly in the beginning and was too conservative!
However, now is not the time to dwell on the mistakes!
The message was sent out five years ago! Tiger Hill is flying from Zhou Xian to Tiger Hill. If there are no accidents, it will take three to four years. If the Upper Realm of Zhou Xian responds, they will definitely take the Reverse Space. Then, the window of time will appear within this period of time!
My opinion is that we should hold on for another six months. If there is still no news after six months, then we will all die! "
This was a logical judgment. At that time, Tiger Hill Swords House sent out two Yuanying on their fastest floating raft to break out. At that time, Zerg's Yuanying group did not have that many people, so it was considered smooth sailing.
However, in reality, there was a possibility that the message could not be delivered! The void of the universe now was more dangerous than before. Void beasts, man-made disasters, astronomical phenomena, all kinds of unexpected events … Just two Yuanying alone could not be said to be able to do as they pleased in the universe!
However, such thoughts could not be said out loud. It would cause confusion!
Tang Zhenjun looked at his three junior brothers. "We need to be prepared for two things!"
