Chapter 301 - Stand Together Part 2
On a larger scale, this would be forming a small battalion of two companies: one company would attack and defend as the other rested and so on…
So far in most countries, the Generals have decided to mix the two scales, making it the most effective way. Although simple, this has shown miraculous results!
Amongst the crowds that were either attacking their enemies fiercely or panting heavily while trying to gather their strength back, two men, one woman, and one cat-like creature stood side by side.
*Sigh*
"Scott, when are we going to personally attack? Our army does not have the numbers to support this battle style…" an anxious voice escaped the young woman's lips after a soft sigh.
Her long jet black hair swayed continuously with the wings, as if unable to resist. Her deep blue eyes narrowed at the bloody sky above her head and the bodies falling down the skies and crashing against the ground.
As she observed, she could clearly see that the number of Terran Army soldiers falling was extremely tiny in comparison to the angels.
This didn't come from the soldiers' own prowess, but rather from their bracelets that have Kayla's mark on them.
Whenever a soldier is about to receive a killing blow, a blue energy curtain would engulf them and protect their entire body.
This protective energy curtain has the ability to guard and protect against a Star Five blow!
Although not many people know, this relatively newly added feature was a result of Kayla analysing General Kai's gift to Raven.
Although she herself was in need of such a protective artifact, it ended up saving more lives than one could count!
"Deputy General Camilla Rogers, I told you countless times to call me General Scott…" Scott raised his eyebrows although his eyes were still closed as usual.
"Scott…" Camilla raised her eyebrows in return. "I am serious. Please answer the question!"
"Hey, don't make it hard on Scott, he's not having a good time either," Jamie, with his fiery red hair, ignored Scott's remark about his title and answered helplessly. "You know that Kayla has asked us to wait for her signal, no? You should have more trust in her."
"I second that," Kuru said as he suddenly jumped onto Camilla's shoulder and laid there like a normal house cat.
"Shut up, both of you!" Camilla shouted. "You know I trust her the best amongst you, but I also know that she's facing way more troubles than we can imagine with Raven up there… maybe she's just busy-"
"""All units, ready up!""" Suddenly, and as if on cue, a familiar young voice was heard from the bracelets on everyone's wrists.
Hearing that, the soldiers grinned as they prepared for receiving their signal.
This voice, although seemingly belonging to a young girl, has become an unforgettable sign of excitement and hope!
Whenever this girl speaks, everyone knows that their Commanding General is making a move.
Although not many knew the truth behind it, it was enough to signal that a new change will happen on the battlefield. And on such a battlefield, any planned change is a wonderful one!
"""I repeat, all units, ready up! The preparations are ready! Signal will be received shortly!"""
The Generals all around the battlefield quickly started reporting their readiness to Kayla.
Not too long after, Kayla's pleasant voice was heard again.
"""All units, get into your discussed defensive formations!"""
Hearing the order, the Terran soldiers started forming defensive lines to protect against the skies, literally, as if expecting a violent blizzard!
Without the Terran Army attacking, the Angel Army started getting dangerously closer.
"Done!" The first General reported to Kayla via bracelet.
"Done!" The second General reported.
The third and fourth reported shortly after. And not too long after, Kayla had received a signal from each and every General on the battlefield.
Even Gaia and her titans around the globe all stopped their movements and waited intently.
"Uhm, Executives, get to work!" Kayla transmitted her voice to Raven's five Executives in particular.
Receiving their order, even though each one of them was in a different position around the planet as the plan stated, they quickly started their work at the same time in a synchronous manner.
At a certain position in the sky above the destroyed city and the tired Terran Army soldiers, Abbadon smirked dangerously while swiftly licking his lips, a dark aura escaping his body terrifyingly.
He generously spread his hands while peacefully floating in the sky, as if welcoming the coming Angel Army into his loving arms…
The dark Curse aura suddenly took shape and started forming what seemed to be a net throughout the sky.
This scene was not limited to Abbadon; Levi, Aamon, and Maeve replicated these movements and gave off similar auras from their own respective positions.
Bel, the fifth Executive, floated in the middle of the sky as sweat oozed down his brow. His hands were filled with his dark aura as many seals were formed, broken, and then reformed.
The sixth and last Executive, Keith, did not participate in their plan. But instead, he simply stood near the sea of blood where Calcer was submerged.
As Calcer was relentlessly practicing his Immortal Blood Mantra and absorbing the vitality of the blood, allowing his aura to continuously rise, Keith had his eyes closed in deep concentration, as if waiting for something important to happen before taking action.
As the Angel Army got close enough, Kayla signalled the five Daemons to proceed as planned.
Suddenly, webs of what seemed like spider silk that was in fact made out of dark Curse energy were formed in the sky, creating a terrifying atmosphere that caused even Generals that reached the rank of Star Nine to sweat profoundly.
Many soldiers trembled as they quickly recognized that they've seen something similar at the start of the battle…
"They're creating more Dark Angel Puppets, the Commanding General's executives are awesome!" One soldier cheered happily.
"Hehe, those angels are done for, it's over for them!" Another called while resting on her friend's shoulder with some difficulty.
"Huh, short sighted!" Another soldier nearby called out. "Do you really think they are just planning to create more Dark Angel Puppets? If so, why make such a big move? They're obviously planning for a larger surprise!"
"But didn't they prepare in the same way before, err, I mean we had to wait and-"
"Shut up already! I'm telling you it's different!"
"Hey, I think he's right… the aura was that terrifying last time!"
"Maybe they're just doing it on a larger scale?"
"Ah…"
"This soldier was merely guessing," suddenly, the General close by commented, in a neutral tone, before a big grin formed across his face. "But he's not far off from the truth… well, you may not notice the difference at first, but brace yourself for it!"
"""Sir, yes sir!""" Many soldiers shouted in excitement. If it's the General who's talking, then there's a trick that will surely bring bad luck to those angels!
Watching intently, everyone could only hold their breath as the number of angels approaching was enough to make the sky dark again.
Although they have heard that there were a total of ten million Star One angels, only now did they feel the gravity of the situation.
But even so, not many soldiers were concerned. After all, the orders they received were simply instructing them to defend and not attack.
Needless to say, everyone had full trust in their orders since from the start of the invasion, every word spoken through their bracelets came to be, and everything was completely controlled!
While everyone was deep in thought, a change occurred: the dark web started vibrating dangerously. Suddenly, a familiar whisper spread: "Chaos Puppeteer!"
With those words, some strange energy was mixed into the web. However, contrary to last time, Dark Angel Puppets were created… the angels kept on simply approaching...
"Huh? Did I miss something?" A soldier called out involuntarily.
"Yeah, why is nothing happening?" Another confused voice sounded.
"Wait, you two idiots. Didn't the General say that we may not be able to figure it out at first? Just watch quietly!"
"Yes, shut up I'm trying to focus here!"
As the crowds argued, a small figure suddenly appeared in the dark sky.
The figure was that of a girl with long dark purple hair and matching eyes. This was none other than Kayla's clone!
With her appearance, soft fluorescence particles spread in all directions and lit up the dim atmosphere.
Those fluorescent particles seemed to be endless and were radiating an aura of both complete annihilation and endless creation.
Such an aura gave the soldiers a feeling of being in the presence of a deity! Even the top powerhouses were left speechless.
"Kfufufufu, so that's Lady Kayla's true powers-" Abbadon chuckled and said, but quickly shook his head. "I doubt this is even her true power. After all, even I am getting this feeling of wanting to kneel down for her…"
