"Lady Juzi!
We can't fight anymore, let's retreat! "
Looking at the sea of Sorcerers surging towards them from the various battlefronts, including 20 to 30 Heaven Sorcerers who could fly in the sky, the ancient sword level swordsman team that had been enduring the attacks tenaciously was on the verge of collapse.
Previously, no matter how many Intermediate and Minor Sorcerers there were, these sword-bearers did not feel too afraid.
This was because these Wu people did not have the ability to fly. They could only fight these sword-bearers on the ground.
Due to the restrictions of the terrain and the various formations, there were not many Wu people who could fight the sword-bearers directly. As long as they had good command and formation, as well as an endless supply of diluted Imperial Blood Stamina Potions, this sword-bearers team could continue fighting.
But now that the Heaven Sorcerers who could fly had joined the battle, the situation was completely different.
These Ancient sword-bearers clearly did not have the ability to fight enemies who could fly in the sky.
It was like a well-armed US ground tactical team, when they were besieged by four or five Apache helicopters, they could only face the fate of being slaughtered.
Juzi knew this very well. This was not a gap that could be overcome with swordsmanship and command. Someone had to stop these Heaven Sorcerers. Otherwise, these eighteen Ancient sword-bearers that they had painstakingly trained would all die here.
"Everyone, retreat to the Guardian's Mansion!
Defend the Guardian's Mansion! "Juzi immediately ordered.
The best way was to retreat these people to the other Guardian's Mansions, but the problem was that Guhan was still in the Guardian's Mansion, still fighting in the game.
These Ancient sword-bearers could retreat to the other Guardian's Mansions, but Guhan could not move a single step.
If these Ancient Sword Rank swordbearers really ran away, then Gu Han, who was left behind, would definitely die.
Therefore, no matter what, Juzi only had one choice. That was to use the Guardian's Mansion as a last resort and try to stall for time until Guhan left the game.
In fact, Guhan did not stay in the game for the past three months. There were two or three times when Guhan came out of the game. After listening to the general situation of Shanhai Pass, he made various arrangements.
One of the most important arrangements was to instruct Juzi to start systematically training these ancient sword wielders, striving to give them the ability to protect themselves before the Wu people launched a large-scale attack.
After making these arrangements, Guhan re-entered the game and told Juzi to send a signal through the forced exit button on the helmet once the battle began.
All Juzi had to do was wait for him to return from the game to the real world.
Therefore, all the resistance was actually done by Juzi according to Guhan's instructions. It was just that Juzi didn't expect Guhan to still be in the game after such a long time after the signal was sent.
As such, Juzi could only lead the Ancient Sword Tier swordbearers to retreat to the Shih Sing Garrison for the last time.
…
Every professional strategist knew very well that retreating was actually the most dangerous thing to do on the battlefield.
This was because once the commander-in-chief gave the order to retreat, the entire army would inevitably fall into a state of disorder. The various formations that had been arranged beforehand would also become chaotic due to the different steps of retreat. If the enemy took advantage of this time to attack and disrupt their formation, the retreat would turn into a rout, and the entire army would be completely destroyed.
There were countless examples of this in history. According to historical battle statistics, only about 30% of the total number of soldiers who died in a head-on battle actually died. The remaining 70% of the soldiers died when they were routed.
Therefore, for Juzi, retreating was not an easy task. If she wanted to safely bring the 18 ancient sword wielders back to the Garrison Residence, she would have to pay the price.
Since ancient times, when an army decided to retreat, the commander-in-chief of the army would have to sacrifice himself to survive. He would have to give up a unit to stop the enemy at a strategic location and sacrifice this unit in exchange for a smooth retreat for the rest of the army.
The truth was the same. The swordbearers had to be sacrificed too. Someone had to stop the pursuing enemy and cover the retreat of the main force.
And this person naturally could not be the ancient sword wielders.
If these ancient sword wielders lost the protection of the formation and faced the Wu people alone, they would be torn to pieces by the enraged Wu people in less than three seconds.
Therefore, the person who stayed behind to stop the enemy had no other choice. It was the three Swordmaidens that Guhan had left in the real world. This was because only Guhan's Swordmaidens could withstand the attacks of so many Wu people for a long period of time.
At the same time, because there could only be one Swordmaiden in the form of a Swordmaiden, he could only choose one of the three Swordmaidens: Juzi, Qing Pin, and Douyu.
"Master has put me in charge of everything here. Stopping the enemy is my responsibility, so I can only take responsibility!" Juzi said to Qing Pin and Douyu, who were beside her.
"Alright!
I'll leave it to you! "
Qing Pin and Douyu grinned and nodded. They transformed into their sword forms and were brought back to the House of Guardians by the other ancient sword wielders. When Juzi decided to enter battle mode to fight the Wu people, Qing Pin and Douyu could not maintain their Swordmaidens forms, so they could only return to their sword forms.
This way, the only one left to face the Wu people was Juzi.
"Tear this reckless Swordmaiden to pieces!"
The commander of the Wu people, a Sky Sorcerer, who was flying high in the sky, saw that the main force of the enemy had begun to retreat, leaving only a Swordmaiden to stop them. He immediately shouted arrogantly.
From the Sky Wizard's point of view, even if the Sword Maiden was a Famed Sword Maiden, she would still have her shield torn apart in an instant when she was surrounded by his main force. Then, she would be smashed into a broken sword by them.
Unfortunately, the Sky Sorcerer was completely wrong. The Intermediate Sorcerers who were fighting with Juzi did not even have time to attack before their heads were chopped off by the Swordmaiden. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water. There was no pause at all.
"Go!
Let's go! "
The Sky Sorcerer was enraged. A large number of Wu people surrounded Juzi and attacked Juzi from all directions.
In the face of such an attack, Ju Zi was able to deal with it with ease. Although her personal protective shield would occasionally be attacked by the Sorcerer Tribe, each attack would cost the lives of two to three Intermediate Sorcerers.
In just a minute, more than twenty Intermediate Sorcerers had died under Juzi's sword. The Sky Sorcerer had calmed down from his anger. He no longer ordered the Intermediate Sorcerers to die. Instead, he ordered the twenty Sky Sorcerers flying in the sky to attack Juzi in unison.
From the moment the Sky Sorcerers attacked, Juzi felt the pressure on her increase. It was no longer possible for her to kill the Intermediate Sorcerers with a single strike like before. On the contrary, Juzi was in danger under the simultaneous attacks of more than twenty Heaven Sorcerers. The energy of the personal shield on the surface of her body started to decrease rapidly. It was on the verge of collapsing.
In fact, it was not impossible for the Juzi Sword, which was ranked first and second among the famous swords, to deal with more than twenty Heaven Sorcerers, who were equivalent to the dragon-level Yuan Kou.
However, there was a precondition. Guhan had to be by Juzi's side.
Juzi could only fend off more than twenty Heaven Sorcerers because she had the support of the endless sword essence in Guhan's body.
However, Guhan was still in the game and could not mobilize the sword essence in his body to support Juzi. Juzi could only use a portion of the sword essence that Guhan had left in Juzi's body when he had woken up.
These sword essence could not be replenished. Every time she used it, it would decrease.
More importantly, without Guhan by Juzi's side, Juzi could not even use her skills. She could only rely on the simplest attacks to fight the Wu people.
Even so, Juzi's battle strength was still tenacious. While she was surrounded by the Heaven Sorcerers, she managed to kill three Heaven Sorcerers with the little sword essence she had left. The Heaven Sorcerer who was in charge of commanding the army was so angry that he almost fell from the sky.
However, killing three Heaven Sorcerers was Juzi's limit. When Juzi killed the third Heaven Sorcerer, her personal shield finally shattered. Four or five different weapons stabbed into Juzi's back. Juzi staggered and fell to the ground.
"Break her for me!"
The Heaven Sorcerer commander ordered anxiously in the air. The more than twenty Heaven Sorcerers around him raised their weapons at the same time. Balls of light of different colors condensed at the tips of their weapons.
These balls of light were actually twelve different types of energy, representing twelve different Wu people's tribes.
From this, it could be seen that the more than twenty Heaven Sorcerers did not come from a single Wu people's tribe. Instead, they came from twelve different Wu people's tribes.
This was something that had rarely happened in the history of the battles between humans and the Sorcerer Tribe. This was because the battles between the Sorcerer Tribe were usually fought by their respective tribes, or at most, two or three tribes would fight together. Since ancient times, the situation of twelve tribes fighting together at the same time had not happened many times, especially since the Sorcerer Tribe must have undergone a huge change.
Alright, even though this piece of information was very important, it wasn't very useful to Ju Zi right now.
If the attacks of these Heaven Sorcerers hit Juzi, who had lost the protection of her personal shield, there was no other outcome for Juzi. She would be broken.
"Master!
I'm sorry, Juzi can't accompany you anymore! "
The seriously injured Juzi had lost the ability to fight back. Although she knew that she was about to be broken, she could not fight back. She could only murmur softly and wait for her death.
"I won't let you be broken!
No one can let you be broken! "
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in Juzi's mind. In the next moment, countless golden chrysanthemum-like sword auras wreaked havoc on the battlefield.
"So beautiful!"
Seeing such beautiful sword auras, Juzi finally smiled faintly. Then, her body turned into a ray of light and returned to a familiar embrace.
