Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 594 - 568: Angel

The flight formation flew at its maximum altitude all the way.

At a height of twelve thousand meters, even the massive strategic bombers among them looked like tiny dots, completely inconspicuous.

This was a mission of nine deaths and one life, and the fuel on the planes wasn’t sufficient for a return trip.

Everyone was prepared for sacrifice.

In one of the fighter jets, the navigator sitting in the co-pilot seat looked resolutely out the window, remaining silent. Sparse city chimneys lay below, and vehicles on the highways were few and far between. Compared to the Great Xia Country, the technology recovery rate here was undoubtedly much slower.

Yet it was this nation that nearly brought the European Union to collapse.

In a way, this war had reached a point where it was unavoidable for the Great Xia Country.

The European Union possessed the third-largest nuclear arsenal globally, the third-strongest military power, and the second-strongest technological prowess. Should the European Union collapse and be annexed by the Land of Radiance, its power would undoubtedly grow considerably once more.

It would then become a nightmare for the entire Eurasian continent and even the whole Earth.

No one would be able to stop it!

Perhaps the month-long calm before this had caused the Land of Radiance to lower its guard against the Great Xia Country. Furthermore, the Land of Radiance currently lacked radar, so the flight formation proceeded smoothly without encountering any attacks and soon crossed into the territory of the Original Gostan Country, reaching the Caspian Sea.

Beyond it,

lay the target for destruction at this moment, the Holy City of the Land of Radiance, situated between the Eurasian continent.

...

The time was just approaching noon.

The sky was clear with not a cloud in sight, and the sun was shining brightly!

This Holy City of the Land of Radiance, imbued with a strong Power of Faith, appeared under the sunlight with a sacred radiance, giving a deceptively infinite beauty.

The streets here were tidy, the citizens orderly, peaceful, and harmonious.

The rule lasted two years, the belief of billions of humans.

This power of faith was so strong that even the God of Light’s Divine Position and Divinity were influenced and changed.

He had gradually completed the transformation from a Barbaric God of Blood to a Civilized God.

Although this transformation would not immediately make Him stronger,

it would make Him more humane, making His believers more devout.

For instance, His image changed from the initial half-man, half-beast, to a ferocious giant a year ago, and now to a benevolent father.

And from originally ruling the world with barbarians, to now with humans, with all ordinary barbarians returning to the other world.

Of course, all of this was for better shepherding of the flock.

...

When the bell on the God of Light’s cathedral struck eleven o’clock,

small dots appeared on the horizon in the distance.

At this moment, the entire city turned oppressive, and a sense of anger spread throughout the city’s sky.

In the next moment, countless "angels" took off from all over the city.

Many people on the streets hurriedly knelt on the ground and prayed fervently when they saw this.

These were indeed "angels."

Regardless of gender, they all had perfect faces, delicate and flawless features, and swan-like snowy white wings, appearing sacred and graceful, leaving those who saw them in awe and shock.

These are battle weapons crafted by the God of Light to crush the resistance of the European Union, modeled after the angels of human mythology.

In fact, these battle weapons were indeed astonishingly effective.

Especially in terms of the blow to the morale and belief of the European Union side, it was almost on the level of a nuclear bomb, which was part of the reason the European Union was so easily defeated, step by step.

Thousands of "angels" swiftly flew into the sky, heading straight for the small dots on the horizon.

In an instant, the entire sky looked dense and packed.

...

A large number of escorting fighter jets immediately went to meet them.

"Zizzizi!"

The aircraft’s cannons started spewing flames.

Like long whips of fire shooting across the sky.

Ten or so "angels" couldn’t evade and were split in two.

Nevertheless, the number of "angels" was too many, and soon the first fighter jet was approached by one of them. The large sword in its hand, along with its body, hit the massive wing at high speed, its body becoming a bloody mess, as the wing instantly broke off.

Spiraling down from the sky.

One plane, two planes...

Inside the subsequent strategic bomber.

Everyone’s face was anxious.

"Should we deploy the nuclear bomb?" The first weapons operator pressed his thumb on the red button with the safety cover already opened, shouting loudly, his forehead sweaty.

"There are still over a hundred kilometers to the target, wait a bit longer..." the captain quickly said.

"There’s no time!" the navigator said in a deep voice.

In just a dozen seconds, most of the escorting fighter jets ahead had been destroyed.

Some "angels" were already heading this way.

"Wait a bit longer..." the captain said calmly, but the cold sweat was streaming down his forehead.

Time passed by one second at a time, each second feeling like a year.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the fuselage suddenly shook violently, everyone rocked back and forth, and before they could sit still again, another huge jolt came.

"Goddammit, the fuselage can’t maintain balance, we’re about to crash!" the captain shouted viciously, "Deploy the nuclear bomb quickly!"

...

The three strategic bombers and more than a dozen fighter jets, once gone, never returned.

At the same time, the military of the Great Xia Country crossed the border and marched all the way, advancing with unstoppable force, with hardly any resistance.

Within a few days, the army had penetrated more than a hundred kilometers past the border and captured over a dozen cities.

The army did not continue advancing but stopped to reorganize a new defensive line.

This war was not against just one nation but a powerful Barbarian God with extraordinary mobility and supernatural powers.

The army venturing deep into enemy territory alone was undoubtedly courting disaster.

And here it was neither too far nor too close to the Great Xia Country.

On one hand, nuclear attacks from the other side were unlikely to affect within the borders.

On the other hand, if the situation deteriorated, it could promptly relay information to the rear to make preparations.

...

The sky was filled with fighter jets coming and going.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense, carrying a sense of an impending storm.

Chen Shouyi and several legendary powerhouses also left the command.

Li Wenwu and Zhu Anyu delved deep into enemy territory to gather intelligence.

While Chen Shouyi and Ye Zong were stationed on the frontline.

One was a Godslaying Powerhouse, the other unmatched in archery; stationed on the frontlines, it was evidently far more useful than gathering intelligence.

...

Inside the frontline tent.

Chen Shouyi checked the attribute panel.

A trace of joy appeared on his face.

His willpower finally reached 19.4 points.

He exhaled a long breath; he was getting closer to 19.9.

In these days, the oppressive atmosphere of the battlefield made him feel suffocated.

Facing the impending nuclear warfare, no one could take it lightly.

The God of Light was not the God of Blood; it was a terrifying existence that made the entire European Union tremble...

At this moment, a sharp whistling sound came from outside.

Chen Shouyi’s thoughts moved, and the sweat on his body automatically cleared. He took out a set of clothes, put them on, and stepped outside.
