------------------
The war did not stop and instead became more intense, over 70 million troops from the various alliances continuously attacked the barrier and the walls surrounding the Angel City. There were also rumbling cannons. It was not just the Alliance Army's cannons that were attacking Angel City's walls. The cannons on the walls of Angel City were also attacking the Alliance Army.
Compared to those Castle Lords, their troops were truly fearless. Even though they were heavily injured, they did not retreat. They furiously attacked Angel City's walls. Loyalty was faith and death was glory! They did not take even a single step back.
Even though they knew that the road ahead was the Abyss of death, they still jumped down without hesitation. Countless magic spells flew towards the walls, causing them to shake, however they were too weak. Of course, it could also be said that the defense of an [Advanced City] was too high.
Even though the walls had been besieged by tens of millions of troops, they had also been bombarded by a large number of magic cannons and even giant crossbows, Angel City's walls were still standing tall. No matter how these troops attacked, they did not show any signs of collapsing. This made many Castle Lords gnash their teeth in hatred and they felt like crying.
"Damn it! No matter what we do, we can't even break through these walls!"
"The same is true for the city gates. We can't break them!"
"What do you mean 'same'? The city gates' defense is even higher, and they seem to have been forged from a special metal that can resist magic spells!"
"What should we do? If this continues, Haru will bring his army back!"
"Hurry and ask the bosses!"
"Hey! Where are the bosses? Just now, they were still chatting in the group. In the blink of an eye, they all disappeared!"
"Our Alliance's boss is gone as well!"
"Wait! They have disappeared from both the chat groups and friend lists! This means that the bosses are dead!"
"Many of the top-level Castle Lords have also disappeared!"
"Which Alliance are you from?"
"I'm from the God Punisher Alliance! Hurry up and see if your boss is there, I suspect that the rear command base camp has been taken out, otherwise how could they all be dead?"
"…"
At that moment, above Angel City, the gigantic barrier trembled violently. The energy it released was not as strong as before. It was as if it could be broken at any moment. When a sharp-eyed Castle Lord saw this scene, he immediately cried out in joy, "Who cares where Bosses are? It's best if they die. Once they die, the Angel Reincarnation Pool's blueprints will be ours!"
"Brothers put in more effort! Angel City's barrier is finally going to burst!"
"Haru has three barracks. By destroying his Castle Heart, we might even get the blueprints of the other two top-level barracks — the Elven Mother Tree and the Holy Monastery!"
"Attack!!!"
The magic barrier above Angel City was about to be broken and the morale of the Castle Lords on the battlefield instantly rose. As for the Alliance bosses, who cared if they were alive or dead. Anyways, when those top-level Castle Lords hid behind the battlefield, it made them very unhappy.
Now that the headquarters got attacked and they suffered heavy casualties, it was good for the average Castle Lords! Perhaps they might even replace the top-level Castle Lords as the leaders of their alliances.
Countless Castle Lords roared on the battlefield and commanded their army to attack the barrier and the city walls even more frantically. Victory was right before their eyes and it was definitely not possible to retreat. They wanted to go all out and destroy Angel City. Many of them have already lost troops and resources and thus felt the effect of 'sunk-cost fallacy'
…
Behind the battlefield, a terrifying force suppressed several hundred top-level Castle Lords. They were the leaders of the alliances. Compared to the ordinary Castle Lords, these top-level Castle Lords cherished their lives even more. They didn't dare to get too close to the battlefield, afraid of being killed by Angel City's magic cannons.
That was why they had placed their camp behind the battlefield. Unless Angel City was breached, they wouldn't dare to go deep into the battlefield. They never thought that the Castle Lords fighting on the battlefield would be safe while those who were hiding behind the battlefield would get killed first…
When Haru was in the [Astral City], he looked at the entire battlefield and discovered the location of their headquarters. He decided to follow the strategy of taking out the command center first. After all, these supreme Castle Lords were simply too weak. At the very least, compared to him, they were so weak that they could not withstand even a single blow.
Among the hundreds of top-level Castle Lords, the strongest ones, who went along with their troops while hunting, were similar to Aria, at early-stage Saint Tier and there were only about a dozen or so such incidents. The other top-level Castle Lords were all at King Tier. As for Haru, he was a Demigod! Using the power of the laws to suppress these Castle Lords, who weren't even Saints, was extremely easy.
