In just 15 seconds of attacking, a section of the second wall was destroyed. Every person in that part of the second wall was killed. And every arrangement around that part of the wall, be they moats, tunnels, underground caverns, traps, and mines, was all destroyed.
The destruction of a section of the second wall caused the three rank 5 formations to deactivate and stop working. After all, they had been using the second wall as their foundation.
So the mobile fortresses were freed from their trapped state and could now continue to battle without being hampered.
The breech in the second wall also rendered it incapable of enhancing the power and defense of the other walls. This reduced the overall power of the Fortifications from 10 times to 9 times the power.
The reduction of the power of the Fortifications could be made up by building and activating buttress walls. But the patriarch of the Red and Blue Fire sect didn't give them the time to do this because he didn't stop there.
This patriarch had had enough. He didn't expect the five sects to put up this much struggle against them. But he wasn't willing to entertain the five sects anymore.
He pushed the fire cauldron forward and made it attack the third wall. His goal was to destroy every wall and reach the Purple Flower sect directly.
His goal looked achievable because in just a few more seconds, he managed to destroy the third wall too. Then he moved on to the fourth wall.
He was hell bent on dropping the walls like dominoes and it didn't look like anything could stop him. But the patriarchs of the five sects still had to try. What they did was to make use of their strongest means.
They didn't hold back anymore. They activated the formation that Arthur had been building, even though it wasn't complete, and used it to anchor the hundreds of golems that they had prepared.
These golems are all rank 5. They were built by Sword Flash and used as vessels for his avatars. Each one of them is at the peak of the fifth mortal coil in every aspect, and there were 1,111 of them.
This is one of the main reasons Sword Flash is deemed the strongest nascent soul cultivator in the region. Other nascent cultivators may have one of two avaras with power at the peak of the nascent soul, but he had over 1000 of them and the enhancement of an armament.
Such a force would have destroyed the mobile fortresses and dealt a massive blow to the Red and Blue Fire sect. But they despite how powerful they were, they were lacking their true user, so the best that they could do now was make the fire cauldron in the sky pause.
The golems formed a wall in front of the fourth wall and blocked the fire of the fire cauldron. The fire was stronger than them and was destroying them because the formation that was supposed to enhance their power was incomplete. So the best that they could do was delay the fire cauldron in the sky for a while.
But the patriarchs of the Red and Blue Fire sect didn't want to be delayed. They had all had enough, so four of them also took out their fire cauldron to attack.
Some of the fire cauldrons were spears, and others were swords. This made them unable to pour out fire like the fire cauldrons, but they had stronger physical might and could crush the golems by smashing them head-on.
Only the leader of the Red and Blue Fire sect hadn't made a move yet. This was because he didn't need to.
The golems were destroyed in droves. And before they were all destroyed, the fourth wall had been breached.
A spear had smashed through the golems and through the wall behind them. The same spear led the charge towards the fifth wall.
The charge of so many rank 6 weapons was unstoppable. Even before they smashed into the wall, their passage through the air caused the world to vibrate and roar.
From where Arthur stood, he felt the wall vibrate beneath his feet. He also felt the thrum of power and knew without a doubt that there was nothing he could do to avoid dying if the charging weapons came up to him.
His face fell, and he said in fear, "Is this the end?"
He didn't wait for the answer to that. He took off and created some distance from the charging line of the rank 6 weapons.
He didn't leave the fortifications completely. But he made sure to get out of the way of the rank 6 weapons and go somewhere where he wouldn't be affected by their power.
Even as he left, he muttered inwardly, "Looks like this war will end in our defeat. The Purple Flower sect is also finished. And more than that, the dominance of the Blood Skull sect in the Five Veins region will be lost."
This same thought was going through the minds of the defenders on the battlefield, including the patriarchs of the five sects. The patriarchs were not thinking about going forward to defend the walls because they didn't have rank 6 weapons and didn't want to die for the Purple Flower sect.
Everyone had understood the reality of the situation and had given up. But then there was a sudden change on the battlefield.
The change came from the edge of the battlefield in the east. From the east, something translucent appeared and flickered briefly.
The flickering was brief, but it managed to draw the attention of the powerful nascent soul cultivators. They turned towards the east and saw an ocean of glass blades riding the wind.
Before they could understand what was going on, the ocean of glass blades struck. The glass blades descended onto the battlefield flashing with a mysterious light that made them look like glass fishes jumping around in the ocean.
