Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16072
Chapter 16070 Attack
Just then, a meteor shower suddenly appeared in the sky. This wasn’t just any meteor shower; it was a real rain of bright spots, so numerous that the sky seemed to light up for a moment.
Upon seeing this, the High Priest’s expression completely changed. He finally understood what the priest meant by “so many”—this was simply too many!
At the same time, all the members of the Prideful Cult took to the air, and the kingdom-level experts all gathered beside the High Priest, their faces grim as they looked at the sky.
The High Priest said in a deep voice, “Everyone, prepare for battle.”
Everyone responded, and then they all drew their weapons. Their weapons were quite peculiar—all serpentine swords. These swords looked like snakes, with curved blades.
This was the standard weapon of the Prideful Cult, created for them by the God of Pride. These weapons were incredibly powerful and had special methods of use. Now, the entire Prideful Cult used this type of weapon.
The high priest stared intently at the sky. Soon, they could make out the people in the sky. Upon seeing them, the high priest’s expression changed drastically, for there were simply too many people. He immediately shouted, “Everyone, prepare yourselves! As soon as they enter attack range, attack them with your flying swords!”
Everyone responded. The high priest then turned to the kingdom-level experts around him and said, “We should also prepare ourselves. We will act as a group. The enemy will definitely also have kingdom-level experts. What we need to do is act as a group, without anyone being alone. When we attack, we will charge forward and completely break through their battle formation.”
Everyone responded. Soon, the Blood Slaughter Sect’s army had entered their attack range. At the high priest’s command, countless serpentine flying swords shot straight towards the Blood Slaughter Sect’s army.
The Blood Slaughter Sect’s army in the center stopped, and then countless flying swords flew out from the Blood Slaughter Sect’s army, colliding with the serpentine flying swords of the Arrogant God Cult. For a moment, the sky was filled with the sound of flying swords colliding.
The Arrogant Cult’s serpentine flying swords were indeed formidable, but their numbers were still too few. Their serpentine swords could deflect one or two flying swords, but what if ten or twenty swords clashed against them? Their serpentine swords would eventually run out of power, and when they were exhausted, that would be the Blood Slaughter Sect’s opportunity to counterattack.
At this moment, two more armies charged out from the flanks of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s army. These two armies were quite different; one army consisted entirely of aliens, while the other was entirely composed of skeleton cavalry.
The two armies fought differently. The alien cavalry charged straight into the army of the Cult of Arrogance, while the skeleton cavalry, instead of directly attacking, patrolled the perimeter. While patrolling, they released their flying swords, which were feathered swords with a curved trajectory. These swords didn’t fly directly but tumble forward, possessing magnetic field arrays that attracted each other, yet remained under the control of the undead. The Cult of
Arrogance’s army wasn’t a single battle formation, but rather composed of countless smaller formations. After all, the events had occurred too suddenly, and the continent was so vast; it was impossible for all disciples to arrive immediately and form a large battle formation. That was unrealistic unless they were like the Blood Slaughter Sect, where each disciple had a personal teleportation array, allowing all disciples to gather instantly. Otherwise, it was simply impossible for them to do so.
Therefore, the undead cavalry targeted the members of the Cult of Arrogance who formed small battle formations. These members of the Cult of Arrogance didn’t use a military formation; they used a formation for cultivators. This formation was suitable for coordinated combat among cultivators. It wasn’t square or three-dimensional, but rather layered like stairs. This way, those in front wouldn’t block the view of those behind, and it wasn’t as easily breached as a planar formation.
This was a formation favored by many cultivation sects. When encountering a powerful enemy, the front disciples could rush in for close combat, while the disciples in the back could use flying swords for ranged attacks. This was a battle formation method that many cultivation sects had developed after numerous battles with enemies.
Although this battle formation didn’t vary much, it was quite practical. Unfortunately, this time they encountered the Blood Slaughter Sect. All the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect were trained in battle formation techniques, making their formations even more powerful. Especially since they were facing alien cavalry, the alien cavalry unleashed an overwhelming number of feather-shaped flying swords, which swarmed towards the members of the Pride of the Gods. Upon seeing so many flying swords, the members of the Pride of the Gods paled and immediately withdrew their serpentine swords. They then released their defensive magical artifacts, all of which were large shields. These were standard equipment of the Pride of the Gods. These shields were all kite-shaped shields, which could be used for both defense and offense, but for the Pride of the Gods, they were primarily used for defense.
These large shields formed a shield wall, blocking the attacks of the feather-shaped swords. However, they had no understanding of the feather-shaped swords and were completely unaware that these swords were actually flying swords capable of attacking on their own. After being blocked, they would fly in other directions. If they collided with other feather-shaped swords, they would fly back. So once these swords were released, they would circle around and attack the enemy continuously. If the enemy only blocked the front, it would be useless, as these swords would circle around to attack them from behind.
The members of the Cult of Arrogance were initially unaware of this. They were content with simply blocking the feathered swords, completely oblivious to the fact that these flying swords would circle around and attack from behind.
So, after blocking the feathered swords, they didn’t notice that the swords had circled and were attacking their backs. By the time they realized it, it was too late; the feathered swords had already reached them from behind. Many Cult of Arrogance disciples were pierced into their bodies by the feathered swords. They screamed in agony, and the next moment their bodies turned to ashes, while a ball of black light flew directly out of their bodies and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Other members of the Cult of Arrogance noticed this, and some immediately turned around to block the feathered swords attacking from behind.
The battle continued, but at this moment, the undead cavalry also launched a charge. Don’t underestimate the undead cavalry just because they can only fight from a distance; their melee capabilities are also formidable. Once they charged, it was impossible for those who wanted to stop them. Their battle formation was instantly shattered, and the rest was simple.
On the other side, the alien army had already charged towards the army of the Cult of Pride. The members of the Cult of Pride, of course, also saw the alien army. As soon as they saw the aliens, they knew they were not to be trifled with. They immediately separated a portion of their forces to attack the alien army with serpentine swords.
Facing the attack of those serpentine swords, the alien army simply used their long tails to sweep away all the flying swords. After the flying swords were swept away, the alien race increased their charging speed.
Upon witnessing the formidable fighting power of the aliens, the members of the Cult of Arrogance’s expressions changed drastically. They immediately recalled their serpentine swords, and a portion of them launched a counter-charge against the alien race.
The aliens, never afraid of such battles, charged even faster, and soon the two sides were locked in close combat. The Cult of Arrogance simultaneously deployed their kite-shaped shields, wielding shields in one hand and swords in the other, charging directly at the aliens.
The aliens ducked low and charged in, with muffled thuds echoing as the Cult members were sent flying backward. The aliens didn’t stop; they continued their advance, their long tails attacking the attackers.
However, although the aliens were retreating, they didn’t panic. As they retreated, their serpentine swords continuously blocked the alien tail attacks.
Unfortunately, their numbers were still too few. Once the alien army started charging, it wouldn’t stop. Although those people managed to block a few attacks from the alien tails, there were simply too many aliens. When several alien tails attacked them simultaneously, they couldn’t withstand it and were instantly killed by the alien tails.
The alien army then charged directly into the Cult of Arrogance’s formation. The members of the Cult of Arrogance were truly fearless. Even though the alien army had already broken into their formation, the members of the Cult of Arrogance didn’t scatter and continued to fight to the death with the alien army, resulting in casualties.
However, the casualties didn’t make the alien army retreat. They had never been afraid. They weren’t afraid even when they couldn’t resurrect, let alone now that they could. So the alien army kept charging, no matter how many died, they kept charging. And the corpses of the dead aliens simply turned into a rune and then disappeared.
The members of the Cult of Arrogance, upon dying in battle, would turn to ash and vanish in a flash of black light. Thus, despite heavy casualties on both sides, not a single body was left behind.
The High Priest of the Cult of Arrogance, while engaged in battle with the Blood Slaughter Sect, had been closely monitoring the battlefield. When he saw the alien creatures transform into runes and disappear, his expression changed. Having only recently joined the Cult of Arrogance, he knew perfectly well that normal cultivators or demonic beasts would leave behind corpses upon death. The reason the members of the Cult of Arrogance left no bodies was because they returned to the side of the gods after death. So where did the bodies of these attackers go? Did a god also stand behind them? (End of Chapter)
