The army of angels pouring down from the sky like a golden flood swept across the battlefield almost instantly.
Because the last Hell Demon King was killed and their morale was completely lost, the Hell army was already in danger under the attack of the human coalition, and the arrival of the angels accelerated their defeat.
Almost as soon as they met face to face, the army of hell was overwhelmed and routed.
When they first saw the angel army appear, the human coalition thought it was reinforcements from heaven. Then their morale was boosted and they advanced the front line a lot.
However, when the vanguard of the angel army came into contact with the human coalition and launched an attack on them, the human soldiers who were caught off guard were killed with shock on their faces by these angels wielding golden weapons.
The vanguard of the human coalition who had no reaction at all was slaughtered almost instantly. Just like those who were slaughtered, the situation on the battlefield was reversed in an instant, and human blood flowed into rivers.
It's just that most humans haven't figured out what happened. They only saw angels pouring down from the clouds, covering the entire battlefield on Mount Arreat.
In this war that has shifted between offense and defense, the first to fall is the devil.
After the three archangels who led the army entered the battlefield, they killed the last few powerful demon elites on the battlefield with extremely high efficiency, completely breaking down the resistance of the demon army. Under the high-efficiency killing of the overwhelming angel army,
, and kill the last handful of demons.
When Chen Mo, the four demigods, and Li Min escaped from the bottom of the giant pit of Arreat, what they saw was the sky filled with angels.
These angels wielding golden weapons, wearing shining armor, and waving their wings like strips of light, looked so sacred and majestic, but the killing they carried out at this moment made everyone feel overwhelmed.
and the collapse of faith.
Humanity has long forgotten the history of the beginning of creation, and has even sealed the memory of Wu Dixian's victory over the Archangel of Justice and the army of heaven.
Even under the influence of the Archangel of Justice, a church that worshiped light was established and regarded angels as symbols of light.
The teachings of the former Zakarum Church included the content of worshiping angels. In addition, the Archangel of Justice has been fighting against the Demon King of Hell in the sanctuary, which also makes humans have a good impression of angels and regard them as righteous.
and sacred symbols as their own beliefs.
But now, the angels they once believed in are slaughtering them. This has undoubtedly greatly shaken human faith. Especially since both Canduras and Kejistan once believed in the Zakarum Church, the impact is even greater.
strong.
It can almost be said that the moment the angels launched their attack on humans, their morale collapsed along with their faith.
The consequences of the collapse of the morale of an army are undoubtedly serious. Human beings who have no fighting spirit are almost on the verge of collapse. In an instant, they lose the strategic fulcrum and advantage they originally occupied on the battlefield, and almost rush back into the army in a rout.
Iron wall fortress.
At the top of the fortress, Liya and several generals who commanded the troops felt very unbelievable when they saw the scene in front of them that completely subverted their understanding. They could not have imagined that the angel would attack them at this time.
So much so that several generals who have commanded the army for many years are now unable to come up with a plan that can control the situation.
Fortunately, the soldiers in the original world had no feelings for the angels. When the angels launched an attack on the human coalition, various anti-aircraft weapons began to operate.
The attack of the angel army did catch humans off guard, but apart from the fact that these angels could fly, there was actually no gap in combat effectiveness compared to the previous demon army.
Otherwise, heaven and hell would not have been fighting on the eternal battlefield in the realm of chaos for tens of millions of years without a winner.
This also makes them almost unable to withstand modern air defense weapons. Their original indomitable momentum has been frustrated in the face of the prevention and control network supported by modern weapons.
The angels had no choice but to descend from the sky and landed on the walls of the iron-walled fortress, where they started fighting with humans. They did not dare to spread their wings and fly to the sky to use their bodies to fight against modern anti-aircraft weapons.
But for humans in this world, the impact of being an angel makes it difficult for them to have the courage to resist in front of these glittering creatures. Almost all warriors just drop their weapons and turn around when facing angels.
Fleeing in embarrassment.
And when the angels rushed to the top of the Iron Wall Fortress, only the original Iron Wall Fortress defenders could still wave their weapons to fight. The other human soldiers brought by Liya could only be passively slaughtered by the angel army.
Faced with this situation, Liya could no longer stand at the top of the city and had to retreat to the interior of the iron wall fortress under the escort of several generals.
"Cure the defeated army immediately and let the soldiers who can still fight rely on the castle to continue to resist!" Liya gave the order loudly. During this period of life as a queen, she also developed a little dignity, and finally calmed down her side.
The morale of several generals and guards.
After giving the order, Liya pulled off the gorgeous cloak on her body, revealing the same decorative style armor she was wearing, and pulled out the sword that was more decorative than actual combat, and took the lead against a man who had already charged.
Angel entering the interior of the castle.
Several generals and guards dared to let their queen fight in person. Their loyalty to the royal power trumped their belief in the angel at this moment. They immediately picked up their weapons and rushed towards the angel, blocking Liya and the angel.
Fight.
With them taking the lead, the soldiers in the castle finally organized some effective resistance. After all, the angels were restricted in the castle and could not take advantage of their ability to fly, so they could only confront the human soldiers head-on.
In a head-on confrontation, the combat effectiveness of humans is actually not much worse than that of angels.
Except for the three leading archangels and some elite angels, the combat effectiveness of ordinary angels is only about 40% higher than that of ordinary human soldiers. Although humans are still suppressed, they are not unable to fight back.
It's just that the morale of the army has completely collapsed at this moment. All Liya can do is to gather the defeated army and rely on the castle to resist, but cannot organize an effective counterattack and other responses.
In fact, even the limited resistance based on the castle was very difficult.
In addition to the fact that soldiers cannot organize effectively after morale collapses, it is also closely related to the number of angel armies.
Heaven and demons have been fighting for countless years. The history of their struggle is far longer than the birth of mankind. Although these angels have all been reshaped by Chen Yu, the battle experiences retained in their memories have not been washed away.
Lose.
Chen Yu even made some modifications to the Crystal Dome in Heaven, so that the souls of all angels will share their memories and experiences with other angel souls in the Crystal Dome when they return to the Crystal Dome.
This also allowed him to share their combat experience when he reshaped all the angels in heaven.
At this moment, the combat effectiveness of this transformed angel army is even much stronger than the previous army of heaven.
If Chen Mo and Chen Yu enter heaven again, although the angel army in front of them will still be defeated, at least they can hold on longer and even let Chen Yu take action.
The final result of this gap was that after six hours of hard resistance, the Iron Wall Fortress finally fell.
The coalition forces of Khanduras and Kejistan brought by Liya lost about 30% of their troops, and almost all the defenders of the Iron Wall Fortress were killed. Even the field divisions sent by the original world suffered certain casualties.
And a large number of technical weapons were lost.
After all, those anti-aircraft weapons can be said to be the main killing and striking force against the Angels. After the Angel army attacked the walls of the Iron Wall Fortress, they focused on destroying these weapons, causing the field division to lose most of its anti-aircraft weapons.
However, the angels were not completely without losses. With the return of the four demigods and Li Min, as high-end combat power, three of them directly approached the three leading archangels and fought with them, while the remaining
A demigod below worked with Li Min on the battlefield to save the besieged humans.
It was precisely thanks to Li Min and this demigod that the human coalition did not suffer such heavy losses and only lost 30% of its troops.
At least 10% of the troops were rescued from the battlefield by Li Min and this demigod.
However, the battle with high-end combat power did not affect the direction of the war, especially when the arrival of the two archangels of Hope and Death, which had been reshaped, became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
And this was also the reason why the Iron Wall Fortress fell. Humanity really couldn't resist the angel army led by five archangels, so they had to abandon the severely damaged Iron Wall Fortress and chose to retreat.
The army retreated to Ernstinger in the Salva Forest, and relied on this city closest to the Iron Wall Fortress to reorganize its defenses.
However, the defeat and the battalion full of wounded soldiers had reduced the morale of the human coalition to an unacceptable level. These soldiers could not even muster the slightest will to fight.
Even in the previous battle, three demigods held back three archangels, and Chen Mo single-handedly blocked the two archangels of wisdom and death who launched a fierce attack on the iron wall fortress.
In terms of strength, they did not lose to heaven. These ordinary mortals still could not muster the courage to face the angel's attack.
What's worse than this is that the angel army that captured the Iron Wall Fortress did not follow the retreat route of the human coalition to attack Enstinger. Instead, it divided its troops into three groups and headed east through the Land of Fear.
The dry highlands of the mainland launched an attack, while the other route bypassed Engstinger and went south along the sea route to attack Westmar. The remaining route was to attack Engstinger's army.
Thanks to the angel army being divided into three groups, the human coalition, whose morale has declined to the point of decline, was able to hold off the angel army's attack at Enstinger.
But even so, the attacks of the other two angel armies still marched straight into the sanctuary.
As the Western Expeditionary Army once sent by the Zakarum Church, Westmarch still retains its strong military strength and fighting will. It has tenaciously resisted the invasion of the angel army, although it has lost some territory and endured many hardships.
He suffered heavy losses, but he finally managed to defend his capital and block the attack of the angel army.
And after receiving support from the Amazon tribe on the Scobos Islands, the situation gradually stabilized.
The other angel army that passed through the Land of Fear went deeper than the other two armies. They had already reached the Eastern Continent and launched an attack on the Sogren area to the north of the Dry Highlands.
The druids of Tower Doula rose up to resist, but they were still unable to withstand the attack of the angel army.
The city of Tower Dura was captured, and the druids had to retreat southward, crossing the dry highlands and retreating to Kaltium.
If it weren't for the reinforcements currently being assembled by Kardim and the second group that were originally planning to support the Iron Wall Fortress, I'm afraid the capital of the Kegistan Empire would have fallen.
But even though the city of Kaltim was secured with the hard work of these soldiers and the help of the druids, the absence of most of the country's nobles and the queen who had just ascended the throne still affected the hearts of the people of Kaltim, who had just escaped from the shadow of the Hell Demon King.
Floating, the morale of the army was shaken.
Under such circumstances, Mr. Pontuin, who was left behind by Liya and originally planned to lead the second batch of reinforcements to the north, had to step forward and carry the banner, commanding and organizing various armies to form a defense to resist the angel's attack.
In short, after the angels divided their forces into three groups, they captured more than one-third of the entire Sanctuary, leaving only a circle of core territory of the human kingdom surrounding the Twin Seas that had not fallen.
Under such circumstances, the situation of mankind can almost be said to be precarious.
After Enstinger received the news from Westmarch and Kardeum, Liya had to summon all the generals and nobles to discuss how to deal with the angel's attack and reverse the situation of the war.
Obviously, it is almost impossible to launch a counterattack with the current morale of mankind.
If the human coalition forces that were defeated in the Battle of Mount Arreat did not reorganize, there would be no way they could fight against the angelic army.
Although the human side still has an advantage in terms of high-end combat power, especially when the angel army is divided into three groups and only three of the five archangels are left behind, the human side has certain advantages in terms of high-end combat power.
But the morale of ordinary soldiers has been reduced to an unimaginable level. It can be said that they are only one step away from collapse. If they are forced to go to the battlefield, they will only get a complete collapse.
"This is the situation we are facing right now. Do you have any good ideas?" Liya looked helplessly at the silent generals and nobles and asked bitterly.
What he got instead was unbearable silence.
Until a voice broke the deadlock: "Maybe we still have hope..."
