Chapter 271 - Masters Of The War Theatre Part 1
*Crypto - Faded (feat. Constance) *
In other words, it is finally time to join the battlefield himself! Bowing deeply to Raven who nodded in return, he quickly turned into a shadow and disappeared from his spot.
Across the battlefield, the Bel's six Devil Lords alternated between different battlefronts as they realized it's the most effective and efficient method to thinning out the enemies' numbers.
Over time, the emergence of these six Devil Lord powerhouses in various countries with their own legion of Dark Angel Puppets has become a common occurrence. And wherever they appeared, the enemy lines would collapse!
After a short two hours of recovering, Raven finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was now back at her peak condition.
If need be, she could now use her trick one more time in order to kill and convert more angels into Dark Angel Puppets, but judging from the quantity and quality of the newly emerging angels, it would be useless.
If the first patch of angels has an average rank of Star One, then the current patch has angles that are way above that!
After a while of observing, it became clear that unlike before, the angels are attacking key positions or critical figures in the Terran army. The newly emerging angels are no longer simple cannon fodder, and they are even using battle tactics!
Additionally, it can be seen that they are acting in groups right now, unlike before
Kayla, who was responsible for gathering and delivering intelligence across the vast battlefield, observed the new formations taken by the angels and spread the news through the bracelets.
At the moment, the majority of the angels are gathering and acting in groups of fifty Star One ranked angels. And those fifty would work together under one Star Five angel leader.
According to the details and classifications given by Kayla, this level of grouping will be simply called a 'Squad' for now. And as observed, in General, one to three Squads would work together and attack one country!
This in itself has already made some countries suffer massively. The main reason is that the average country can only afford one General.
So, even though a General is usually ranked above Star Six, it is still not an easy task fighting three Star Five ranked angels. This means that some Generals are fighting for their life!
Luckily however, the precarious situation isn't as bad as it can be since there are many support teams running around in order to create as much of a balanced battlefield as possible; forget about the demon elites and Raven's executives, the Terran Army has The Raven's Guards!
With the help of such powerful forces, the situation can be maintained, for now at least.
With that being said, one question has been keeping the high ranking officials rather concerned: what happens when a new and far stronger patch of angels joins the fray?
Judging from their current behaviour, it is safe to assume that this will definitely not be the last wave of attacks!
Furthermore, it can be seen that the angels are not brainless barbarians, but rather have a 'head' behind the scenes that is making all this thinking and following a certain plan.
Additionally, the person behind this head is slowly revealing their cunning nature. It is almost certain that they will not stop at this level of battle formation, meaning that they will surely produce something far stronger than a Squad!
Needless to say, if these formations are not taken care of, they may lead to the destruction and annihilation of entire countries! If something like this happens, it may even cause a snowball effect that ends up in the destruction of the whole planet!
With that in mind, the Generals and even the entire army will have to adapt to the growth of the angels and perform counter attacks in order to slow or stop their advance.
With that being said, the Terran Army is not a headless body without its own plan, nor is it easy to bully. After all, they have their own mastermind, and that is none other than the Young Cyber Valkyrie; Kayla!
Although she is still presiding over the young EDA elites' transformation, her multitasking abilities are second to none, so it is not difficult for her to observe the changes in the battlefield and relay key information to Raven and the Generals as needed!
Furthermore, she is now the main strategist of the Terran Army and relaying information isn't the end of her responsibilities; she is even taking care of giving orders, assigning special missions, and simply, playing the battlefield to her advantage!
Right now, she is one of the two war theatre masters who are competing against one another, and at the moment, she and her Terran Army are dominating!
…
With everyone having been assigned missions of their own, Raven was no exception.
The Supreme Ruler has got her own important mission; she must find the 'head' behind the angels and... cut it off!
However… one question kept on hurting Raven's head… who is that head? What if that war theatre master she is trying to kill is actually the person she cares for the most? What would she do if it's Maya herself...?
Suppressing her doubts, Raven looked up at the sky above her head. Her eyes glowed with a rich golden hue as two crimson rings surrounded her void dark pupils, enabling her to see far into the depths of the space.
Behind the apparent angel army that was actively attacking the planet, a magnificent number of white dots surrounded Earth, covering the entire solar system.
Raven and Kayla clearly knew that these were crowds of angels that were simply waiting for their turn.
On the surface, it seemed that the Terran Army was on the winning end, but judging from the angel's massive numbers, Kayla and Raven knew better than that.
"What are you stressing about?" Kayla asked quietly.. She was sitting on Raven's shoulder in a small version of her clone, next to Gaia.
