Chapter 1461: 1461
As their distance from the demon's King City narrowed, the floating island encountered even fiercer attacks .
From having one attack a day, it increased to once every few hours . More often than not, the floating island would catch sight of the second wave in the horizon even before completely dealing with the prior wave .
It was only during the night did the floating island have peace .
All the incomplete projects and ground facilities were basically halted, and the construction team had already focused all their manpower on repairing the runways . But against the attacks of the enemy which was akin to a tidal wave, Roland did not dare allow the Aerial Knights chase too far out as it only placed all the burden onto Eleanor .
Another change was the rapid increase in the number of senior demons appearing, some of which were physically stronger, or had strange abilities and were unpredictable . Following the increasing losses of unmanned machine gun turrets, the pressure placed on the defenses magnified .
The first wave of enemies broke into the floating island's interior on the second afternoon . When a few senior demons used magic blades and sliced open the sealed sluice gates, Eleanor immediately sounded the invasion alarm . God's Punishment Witches armed to the teeth formed the second line of defense as melee combat occurred across the narrow passages . The scene resembled the battlefield set up by the Union several centuries ago; just that this time, the roles of both parties were exchanged .
In Alice's plans, God's Punishment Witches were the spears to penetrate the demon's formation and destroy anything in relation to the obelisk and Mother of Soul . Only by using their weak offense to break apart the enemy's defenses did humanity have a shot at winning . But on this island, the demons became the attackers, while the God's Punishment Witches only had to impede their advancements .
However, their strength did not drop as a result . In a particular way, God's Punishment Witches were the bane of senior demons . Having their abilities sealed, it was difficult for them to gain the upper hand when facing a crowd of Extraordinaries or ancient witches who did not fear pain . What's more, they held guns in their hands .
As a result, despite the disadvantage in numbers, the God's Punishment Witches were still able to keep the enemy out from the inner region .
At the same time, traces of demon troops appeared on the ground, the majority of which were Spider Monstrous Beasts . They appeared in sparse numbers in the beginning, and later formed small patches of "black puddles . "
"Truly like ants waiting for corpses . " Agatha glanced down at the scene beneath the floating island . " If we were to descend, they will definitely surge forward and rip us all to shreds . "
"There are even more demons en route; it seems like the demons' plan is to surround us . " Phyllis's expression turned serious . "The Union used to believe that a Transcendent force was enough to obliterate the demons . Now, it appears like we were too naive . "
"Yes, even without Mask or his Symbiotic Demon army, this number isn't something the Union can ever contend with…" The Ice Witch closed her eyes . "We have underestimated the Battle of Divine Will far too greatly . "
"At least you guys kept your hope," Roland consoled her and patted her on her shoulders . Regardless of the end of the Witch Kingdom and the two experiences of utter defeat for humanity, they kept the flames of resistance going and never gave up . That alone was no easy feat .
"Your Majesty!" At that moment, Ferlin walked over with a new report . "The trajectory of the demons' floating island has changed, it seems to be coming towards us!"
"Who was the person who reported this?"
"Miss Lightning from the Exploration Group . She even said that the enemy has expanded their patrolling radius of the Devilbeasts, so she and Maggie are no longer able to observe them from a distance . Miss Lightning also added that a large amount of magic power has appeared at the bottom of King's City . She claimed that even her weak sensitivity to magic power was enough to sense the stifling aura . "
