After leaving the small plane, the sword immortal who was in charge of counting the casualties of the sword cultivators came flying over on his sword and said solemnly, "Senior Brother Qiu, the situation is extremely serious."
"We brought two thousand sword cultivators with us this time, and we lost over three hundred in the previous battle. This is just the beginning, and we've lost not only a sword immortal, but also so many sword cultivators."
"If the situation continues like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out until the follow-up support troops arrive."
The leading man, named Qiu Zhi, fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a moment, he slowly nodded and said, "In that case, let's change our strategy. We won't fight them head-on, but will directly start the plundering operation."
"Next, we will take turns breaking through the planes and, based on the plane layout map provided by the prince, plunder the population and resources to make up for our losses."
After hearing this, the other three sword masters looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
They knew that such actions would cause many serious problems and would lead to disaster if they were not careful.
However, when their eyes fell on the body of the deceased sword immortal in the storage ring, the three of them felt a wave of grief in their hearts, and finally fell silent and acquiesced to Qiu Zhi's decision.
However, this group of sword immortals were completely unaware that in other people's territory, the dominant power of the rules was in their hands.
Although the other party can break the rules, they cannot act recklessly.
The additional conditions that the prince had reached with the sword immortals were merely a verbal agreement rather than a contract, the so-called "gentleman's agreement."
The agreement requires the sword immortals to assist the empire in repelling the fleets of other princes. In return, they are allowed to plunder the population, but they must ensure that enough "seeds" are left in that area.
But now, the actions of the sword immortals have deviated from the original agreement.
Soon, the news about the sword immortals' unruly behavior was collected by the imperial intelligence personnel and delivered to the hands of various princes.
After seeing this information, the eldest prince sneered, "Since they act this way, then send them to the place of punishment."
"I just got the mecha belt a while ago. 'It' in the torture ground has been quite active lately. I want to see if these sword masters can put up a fight with 'it'."
"Eighteenth Prince, you will be responsible for establishing the space jump channel. Once they break through the plane and enter it, immediately jump them to the place of punishment."
"By the way, were the families of the crew members on that main ship executed?"
The Ninth Prince quickly nodded and responded, "Royal brother, they have all been executed. They dared to harm the mecha warriors, so they will not be forgiven lightly."
The eldest prince nodded with satisfaction and continued, "This matter must be spread throughout the empire, so that everyone knows that the honor of the mecha warriors cannot be desecrated."
The Ninth Prince nodded again to show that he understood.
The First Prince continued, "Everyone, now various higher planes have successively sent people to our Matrix Galaxy. We must find a way to deliberately lure them into fighting each other and severely damage their foundation."
The ten princes present nodded in agreement. As for the other princes, the eldest prince had no intention of winning them over. After all, in this vortex of power struggle, one must do things to the utmost.
Those cunning guys have endless tricks up their sleeves.
Then, in this small matrix space, the eldest prince and others discussed some contingency plans, and then everyone quietly left the scene through space jump.
Half a month passed in a flash. During this time, the Sword Immortal and his party had reaped a rich harvest. The number of people they plundered was so large that they couldn't even fit them in their pockets.
There was really no other way, so they had to let the female sword fairy send these people back first, while they continued to move on to the next small plane.
After handing the bag full of people to the female sword fairy, the two groups parted ways.
The three sword immortals, along with the remaining 1,600 or so sword cultivators, headed towards the next small plane in a mighty procession.
However, this plane was completely different from what they had encountered before.
In order to deal with them, the Ninth Prince put a lot of effort into the nearby area, setting up traps here so that once you enter, you will be transported directly to the place of punishment.
The sword masters were completely unaware of this.
When they broke through the plane and entered it as usual, they were surprised to find that this was not the interior of the plane, but a state of space jump.
They instantly realized that the situation was not good. Qiu Zhi, the leader, made a quick decision and hurriedly took out the sword energy given by the ancestor and threw it out without hesitation.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: no matter where this space jump was going to send them, they must not go there.
Unfortunately, it was all too late.
In the end, only Qiu Zhi and a sword master beside him managed to escape by forcibly cutting a hole.
The rest of the people were teleported away in the next second and disappeared without a trace, leaving no clues to find them.
The two looked at each other, for a moment at a loss as to what to do by this sudden change.
After a little thought, they decided to take out the small star disk communicator and ask the elders for advice on how to deal with the situation.
After all, this place is too far away from the sect, and they are not sure whether the sound transmission note can successfully pass the message back. To ensure that there is no risk, it is safer to choose to use a small star disk communicator.
They carefully embedded nine high-grade spirit stones into the star disk. After a while, the star disk began to glow, and then the elder's voice came from it: "Qiu Zhi, what's the situation over there?"
The leading man took a deep breath, tried to organize his thoughts, and then said, "Elder, we've been ambushed."
"Now, including my junior sister who sent the bag back, there are only three of us left. I don't know where my junior brothers have been teleported to. Elder, what should we do now?"
After hearing this, the elder was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "You two should come back too."
After he finished speaking, he cut off the communication and the light of the star disk went out.
Obviously, the elder was extremely angry at the moment. After all, thousands of sword cultivators and several sword immortals were suddenly lost in this operation, and it would be difficult for anyone to remain calm.
The two men looked at each other and understood that the leading man would probably be severely punished when he returned.
The junior fellow hurriedly comforted him, "Senior Brother Qiu, with the ancestors here, the elders will surely not punish him too harshly."
The leading man's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. After a long silence, he finally said with difficulty: "Okay, let's go."
