Chapter 461: Enemy on the Belly and Back Judging from the information transmitted back from the Sky Fortress, the aesthetics of the angels are very similar to that of humans, and the High Elf civilization, which is the origin of human civilization, still retains their stubborn pursuit of aesthetics after transforming into the angel race.
But now these angels had no beauty at all, and their silver bodies, which seemed to have been stripped of their skin, made all who saw them shudder, not to mention the eyeballs that had no eyelids that turned at an unusual speed and their protruding sharp teeth, which made them look like wild beasts.
Not only that, but these angels barely had any rules in their actions, except that they would not attack their own kind, and these monsters that fell from the sky attacked anything that moved in front of them with impunity.
These angels are more beasts than intelligent races, and the name Beast Angel sounds unusually apt.
The beast angels who raided the imperial capital had very strong bodies, and their fighting methods were to rely on their strong bodies to rush into the human army, and then use the long silver metal broadsword in their hands without any arc to wield a killing ring in the crowd.
Most of the weapons equipped by the Imperial Capital army were unable to kill a beast angel in a short period of time, and the human army, which was not superior in numbers, was already doomed to a disgraceful outcome in this battle.
Imperial Palace, the defensive magic over the palace has been turned on, and Edward's royal guards are engaged in a fierce battle with those beast angels, compared to ordinary warriors, the attacks of the royal guards with power armor and various advanced weapons are much more effective, but the number of royal guards is too small, only 2,000 people, they are already stretched thin to defend the palace and cannot give any support to other areas.
Since Edward had already sent half of the royal guards to take charge of recovering the Great Tower of Earth, the officers who were now leading the royal guards, even if Edward personally ordered them, probably would not be able to let these loyal warriors who took the duty of protecting the emperor leave the palace one step later.
In the palace, due to the collapse of the magic net, most of the lighting equipment in the palace has been unable to function normally, and the energy that the fog energy furnace urgently deployed is not enough for the normal operation of the palace after allocating the vast majority of the energy to strategic magic.
The windows of most of the royal palaces have lost their light, and among the lifeless palaces, only the chamber of the Supreme Council is still brightly lit.
However, even the light could not change the heavy atmosphere in the conference room, and the Supreme Councillors now had no ability to influence the situation of the battle other than fidgeting and waiting for news from the battlefield.
At last after the sound of the heavy ebony door, Prince Abel entered from outside with the smoke of war, but when the Supreme Councillors looked at the Prince with hopeful looks, they saw an iron-gray face.
"Your Majesty, the city wall has been lost, and most of our troops stationed on the city wall have been killed or wounded."
Within ten minutes of the Beast Angels attacking, Edward heard the first ominous news.
"What about the Magic Legion?
What are they doing, and why can't they even hold the walls?
Edward asked angrily.
"Your Majesty, Captain Brandon of the Magic Legion has just sacrificed his life for the country on the city wall, the magic power of the magic net is now seriously insufficient, the magic defense system on the city wall has all failed, and in addition, the remaining troops of the magic legion are less than thirty percent.
Imperial Capital ......
I'm afraid the imperial capital can't hold it......"
Prince Abel, who is in charge of controlling the overall situation, is already sweating at the moment.
Edward's own uncle was now chilled by the Emperor's silent wrath.
Two Supreme Councillors had already died in battle in a single day, and now the Magic Legion may have been completely removed from the Empire's legions, and the Magic Guild on the other side may not be much better after losing the magic net.
However, these are not the most important, the most important thing is that the imperial capital of mankind has not been attacked by aliens once in three thousand years, and I am afraid that this time it will really fall completely.
In the entire conference room, it was as quiet as death, and all the councilors frowned as if they were trying to think about whether there was any way to return to heaven, but when the strength of the angels and demons gathered together, it was far beyond the extent that the so-called strategy could be changed, and now the human beings, who had no way to show all their strength, seemed to have no possibility of avoiding the catastrophe of the imperial capital.
"What level has the Earth Tower been suppressed?"
After a few minutes of silence, Edward asked.
"The eighth layer, Duke Derek Gray, personally broke into the eighth layer with the Royal Guard, and is now stabilizing the defense line of the eighth layer."
When Prince Abel heard Edward speak, he knew that the emperor had made a decision, so he hurriedly bowed down and replied.
"Remove the defensive forces above the seventh layer and let them organize a defensive line near the important facilities in the city, I want them to buy more than three hours to ensure that the important personnel in the imperial capital can safely evacuate to the new city.
In addition, he informed the Duke of Angry Thunder and told him to break through the siege and assemble in the new city after holding out for three hours.
Before leaving, he will detonate the Giant Tower of Earth and temporarily block the demon's attack path!
Edward gave the order with a pale face, the emperor has made the final choice, in the case of a strong new city, it is imperative to abandon the imperial capital that is already in the expected loss, but Edward is still heartbroken after making the decision, he leaned on the throne and waved weakly to order Prince Abel to carry out the order as soon as possible.
Then Prince Abel hurriedly left the conference room with several other officials in charge of important departments, who needed to work out an orderly and efficient retreat plan for various important facilities and materials in the imperial capital.
After Prince Abel left, Edward stood up and stepped down from his throne, went to the long table and looked at the faces of the Supreme Councillors who also stood up, and then the emperor spoke slowly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you all know that once we leave the Imperial Capital, it will be many years before we want to return, and even if we are able to defeat the angels and demons by that time, all we can recover in the end is a ruined ruin.
Now, please join me for one last night view of the oldest city of mankind, and I hope that you will also be able to etch in your hearts the destruction of this city and the hatred of our enemies. ” Edward left the conference room and made his way to the open-air roof of the palace, where the members of the Supreme Council stood silently behind the emperor in the night, looking through the dark blue magic shield at the imperial capital that was gradually being swallowed up in the flames of war.
The soldiers on the streets of the Imperial Capital, when they were ordered to hold the line to ensure that the important facilities in the Imperial Capital could be safely evacuated, these soldiers never took a step back, because this battle was not a battle between humans, and to escape would be a betrayal of the entire human race.
When the angels who fell from the sky and the demons that crawled out of the ground appeared in front of the soldiers, they already knew that this was not an ordinary demonic disaster.
This battle will be the prelude to a life-and-death battle between humans and aliens, and if they retreat from this battle, then one day, they will not retreat.
As soldiers who can be stationed in the imperial capital, these soldiers are the best and most loyal among the human race, even if their numbers and strength are not enough to match those powerful beast angels, they are still using their lives to stop the progress of these beasts who try to destroy everything.
At this time, about 100,000 soldiers who had entered the Earth Tower before began to slowly inject into these firm lines of defense, and the appearance of these warriors with the same will greatly alleviated the speed of destruction of the imperial capital by the beast angels.
And as the soldiers withdrew from the Earth Tower, the situation under the Earth Tower began to become more and more difficult, because the Duke of Angry Thunder and the royal guards could not clean up the demons flying in the eighth layer of the tower, after the early stage of the seven-story tower was abandoned to defend, the eighth layer of the defense line with less than 2,000 soldiers became a state of being attacked on the back.
The demons that poured out of the abyss kept trying to break through the magic defense and rush to the ground, and even if there was energy from the fog reactor, when countless demons rushed towards the magic net at the same time, there would still be some fish that slipped through the net and entered the eighth layer.
And as time went on, the demons that had been scurrying like flies in glass bottles began to become organized, and their orderly collective assault was clearly behind them with a higher demon in command.

By this time, Duke Thunder's defenses had become more and more difficult, and at this time, even the legendary knights who were eager to kill their enemies had to think about retreating.
"Greenton, how long have we been holding out?"
After a long battle, Duke Thunder asked Glinton.
"Father, we've been holding out for three hours and fifteen minutes."
Glinton, who had been counting the time, replied immediately beside Duke Thunder.
Previously, in the spiral passage, Glinton and the magicians of the magic guild had to exit the spiral passage and enter the eighth layer of the Earth Tower, and fortunately, they originally planned to find a corner in the eighth layer to wait for help, but as soon as they entered the eighth floor, they saw the Duke of Angry Thunder and the royal guards descending from the sky.
So Glinton and his men joined up with Duke Thunder, and for the next three hours of fighting, everyone was exhausted and on the verge of limiting.
