Chapter 460: The Angel from the Heavenly Vault "Run!
Don't stop!
With a mage on his shoulder, Glynton rushed desperately up the seemingly endless staircase, and tens of thousands of demons were chasing after them.
The demons were far more numerous than these human warriors could handle, and now, it was unknown whether they would even be able to escape.
When they first escaped into the spiral staircase, Glynton and his men relied on the attack of hedron bombs to gain a certain distance, but the demons could fly straight up and down, and although their speed was not as fast as that of flying creatures, it was much faster than the warriors who climbed the stairs.
After Glinton used up the spar bombs they carried, even if the magicians continued to cast spells on the demons that caught up, there were still several soldiers who were caught by the demons and then drowned in the sea of demons.
Fortunately, just when everyone was starting to despair, Grinton, who was at the front of the line, noticed the magical light above the stairs in the distance.
"It's reinforcements!
Rush up!
With Glinton's shout, the soldiers began to speed up again, and they were still exhausted, and after bursting out at great speed, they finally came to the location of those magical lights.
Dozens of magicians with staffs in their hands were standing on the stairs preparing for magic, and when Glynton rushed over, a storm of magic pushed the demon that was hanging on them down.
In the ensuing exchange, Glinton learned that these magicians were members of the Magic Guild who had gone down underground to try to stop the destruction of the Eternal Guardian, and later because of the explosion of the Eternal Guardian, these magicians were trapped on the top of the long staircase, and after hearing that a passage above had collapsed due to the explosion, the frustrated Greenton and the magicians had to start thinking about defending against the demon's attack again.
Thankfully, with these magicians on board, it's not too difficult to hold on to your defenses, especially in such a small environment, with a group of elite magicians who are good at using magic, and they can hold out for a long time.
"Vector force field!"
An old magician with a gray beard shouted and unleashed his defensive magic.
As the only earth-based archmage among these mages who is proficient in gravity magic, when the archmage casts his most proud magic vector force field, the attacks of the low-level demons can no longer cause any harm to humans.
A transparent film of light cut off the underground passage, and when the demons with rock-like bodies hit the light film and tried to rush over, the light film would always bounce them away with the same force.
"Attack them, the vector force field will not stop your attacks."
The archmagister shouted at Greenton's group, who were overwhelmed with their weapons.
Then the mages and the constructed warriors began to shoot magic and spear bullets at the demons who didn't seem to have much intelligence.
Just when Glinton and the others finally gained a foothold in the underground passage, the human army in the outside world had temporarily suppressed the demons that were gushing out, and a set of combined large strategic defense magic arrays that could be carried by trucks were placed around the Magic Guild Square, and then began to work under the support of the Mist Power Furnace.
Although the reticle is made of pure destructive magic and does not have the ability to defend against enemies and reflect power at the same time, the attack power of this strategic magic itself is far from being comparable to that of vector force fields.
As soon as those demons hit the light mask, they would be directly burned to char by the high-voltage electricity generated by the Mist Power Furnace, and no matter how fierce these demons were, they would still not be able to cross this dangerous energy net.
"Well done, just stabilize the situation.
However, we can't give up on the Earth Tower being occupied by demons, if we let these demons get close to the surface, they will most likely use the method of digging, making it more difficult for us to defend against their attacks in the future, so we will start a counterattack today, and we must close the abyss in a short time!
Edward, who remained in the palace, said this after seeing that the army had temporarily contained the demons.
After receiving the order, Prince Abel, who was commanding in the military headquarters, immediately began to urge his staff officers to formulate a battle plan.
A large number of high-IQ elites gathered together and came up with a workable battle plan in almost less than ten minutes.
The passage built by the humans on the side of the Earth Tower is blocked and there is no demon invasion, and it should be possible to close the gap in the middle of the Earth Tower that has been blasted open by the Eternal Guardian.
As long as the passage is closed according to the plan, those demons who have no reinforcements are cleaned up, and soon the humans can regain most of the control of the Earth Tower, and then even if there are too many demons in the lower layers, the humans can also find time to slowly suppress them layer by layer, and with each recapture layer, the threat of the demons to the ground will continue to decrease, and the magic props used to plug the gap can be reused, and at most three pieces can establish three lines of defense, which is enough to ensure that the demons will never rush to the ground.
As for the key to this battle plan, it is to ensure that the spiral staircase on the side of the Earth Tower is always in the hands of humans, and it is precisely because of this that after seeing this plan, Prince Abel immediately ordered the soldiers to enter the passage from the magic guild and start to control the passage.
At the beginning, all these plans were implemented very smoothly, because the military department's quartermaster depot itself had this kind of strategic magic equipment that closed a certain area, and only an advance team needed to rush into a certain layer of the earth tower and then arrange it, and the recovery of the giant tower could begin.
And since the first ones who came out of the ground were the kind of low-level demons with hard bodies that could fly, there was no guy who went back to open the closed passage door.
Therefore, in less than an afternoon, the most vanguard troops had already relied on various advanced weapons to forcibly take back the Earth Giant Tower before the seventh layer into the empire's pocket.
However, when they reached the eighth floor, the advance team encountered a problem, that is, the spiral passage near the eighth floor that had been in disrepair for a long time had collapsed due to the previous explosion, and it would probably take a lot of time to clear it out.
The Imperial soldiers, who were eager to control the situation and recapture the tower, could not stop at this time and wait for the passage to be cleared, and under the leadership of Duke Thunder, this elite unit composed of Edward's guards chose to jump from the hole in the seventh floor to the eighth floor.
Since there was no one in the military present who had a higher status than Duke Thunder, no one could stop the adventurous actions of this legendary knight who was full of hatred for demons.
Before Prince Abel and Edward knew the news, Duke Thunder led the royal guards and broke into the eighth layer of space.
This kind of small adventure in battle was not a huge problem, but what happened next disrupted the plan and caused the Duke of Fury to die in despair.
The Prison of Heresy was hijacked after the Advent Dinner had been over the previous night, and the sleep time that followed gave the Mind Flayer's plan a full twelve hours to prepare, and it was already close to noon when the news of the Prison of Heresy had been hijacked and the Eternal Guardian exploded.
And for an entire afternoon, relying on multi-front combat, the humans regained control of the seven-story Earth Tower.
When Duke Fury Thunder burst into the eighth floor with the Royal Guard, it was already dark outside the imperial capital.
And at this moment, the magician on the wall of the imperial capital who was in charge of monitoring the sky suddenly noticed that there were many fast-moving starlights in the sky.
"There are enemies in the sky!"
The Imperial Capital, which has experienced the Soul Eater's air raids, has maintained a vigilant view of the skies for many years, and it is precisely because of this that the Imperial Army will be the first to spot those attackers who fall from the sky.

However, the discovery did not mean victory in battle, and when the flashes of light rushing towards the ground at the speed of sound approached the range of the royal capital, the soldiers of the royal capital could not help but feel a deep despair in the hearts of these raiders who were as fast as bullets.
Less than one-third of the luminous objects that fell from the sky at more than the speed of sound were shot down under the fire net of the Imperial anti-aircraft guns, while the rest penetrated the fire net and smashed into the buildings of various blocks in the imperial capital.
Fortunately, due to the forced transfer during the day, there were not many ordinary people left in the imperial capital, otherwise these collapsed houses alone would have killed hundreds of thousands of people.
But before the members of the Supreme Council had time to congratulate themselves on their decision, the glowing objects that had been smashed into the building slowly rose from the rambling ruins again, and by the time they slowly spread their huge wings, all the Supreme Councillors had already recognized the origin of the enemy.
"It's an angel!
How can there be so many?
” "Doesn't it mean that the vast majority of angels can't enter the Origin Realm?"
"Could it be that the Celestial Realm has dropped all the two-winged angels over!?"
The dense sky above the imperial capital was more than 200,000 winged celestial creatures had exceeded the Supreme Council's expectations, and when further images were sent back, the councillors' expressions became confused.
"What the hell are these monsters, a cross between an angel and a demon?"
After seeing the appearance of those angels, Edward said with an ugly face.
Because, the appearance of the angel with glowing wings shown on the big screen is even more hideous and ugly than most demons.
