At that moment, A large number of God Paladins hurriedly arrived.
They had also received the news that Gods Fleet and Earth Fleet had fought to a standstill, both suffering heavy losses. The air forces on both sides were almost wiped out.
What was even worse was that Yelena had fallen in battle.
Right then, everyone looked at the furious Medill, and at Filo and Kilan, who had turned into a mist of blood, with strange expressions.
Yelena's fall in battle indicated that Earth's God of War, Nathan, was incredibly powerful.
Yelena's death couldn't be entirely blamed on Filo and Kilan's lack of protection.
Even the Goddess Queen herself was no match for Nathan. It's only natural that Filo and Kilan failed to protect her.
On top of that, although Gods Fleet was defeated despite giving it their all, they had nearly wiped out Earth Fleet's spaceships.
Filo and Kilan might not have made significant contributions, but they'd certainly put in the hard work.
However, Medille, in his furious rage, had killed them both at this critical moment. It was a truly chilling sight for everyone.
Medille looked at the varied expressions of the crowd. In his current state of blinding rage, he was completely oblivious to the fact that his actions had hurt his soldiers' morale.
His voice was icy as he said, “The Goddess Queen has been killed by the enemy! What are you all standing around for? Get ready to break camp. We're continuing toward Adversia. I want you to reach the Adversia as quickly as possible and eliminate all the enemies there!”
The moment the words were spoken, the expressions of the group of paladins at the scene changed once again.
The temporary Grand Marshall, Dexter, hesitated before speaking. “But Your Majesty, our army is exhausted from forced-marching for two days and a night. They have just set up camp, yet we now have to break camp and move forward. Wouldn't this make the soldiers overexerted?”
No sooner had the words been spoken than Medille's icy gaze fell upon Dexter.
“The divine race are the strongest warriors in the universe! Can't they handle a little forced march? Are you telling me you're tired? Why haven't we heard the enemies of Adversia complain about being tired? Would the enemy let you rest just because you're tired before resuming the fight? Do you even deserve to be God Warriors? Do you still wish to protect your homeland and to drive away the invaders?”
All along, Gods took whatever Medille said as the absolute truth!
No one ever dared to object to his words, but now, generals like Dexter, although chastised by Medille, remained defiant. It was just that they suppressed their anger, lacking the courage to voice it out.
When Medille saw the generals lowering their heads in silence, his anger eased slightly as he said, “The Goddess Queen has fallen in battle, while those from Tribulation Sphere have been captured by the enemy. I feel restless and am compelled to rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible to rescue the captives and avenge the Goddess Queen. Give the order for the entire army to don white and advance at full speed. I want to arrive at Adversia and engage Nathan in a decisive battle as soon as possible.”
Generals like Dexter felt that since Adversia had already fallen into enemy hands and Yelena had already sacrificed herself, there was no reversing the situation. What was done was done.
There was no need to exhaust the soldiers by making them forge ahead.
It would only exhaust their own soldiers and give the enemy in Adversia the advantage of being well-rested and ready.
Nevertheless, they also noticed that Medille was deeply committed to avenging Yelena. His mind was solely focused on revenge. He didn't consider anything else, nor would he tolerate any questioning from others.
Left with no choice, they all had to agree, “Understood!”
Soon, the Gods' army began to break camp, advancing throughout the night.
Although Gods were reputed to be the strongest race in the universe and God Warriors were the most formidable warriors, it didn't mean they could set off again on short notice after marching non-stop and finally setting up camp to rest.
For a moment, complaints filled the ranks of the soldiers and officers.
Some even whispered in private, “The foreign army led by Nathan has defeated the Gods Fleet, while the Goddess Queen has fallen in battle. Now, the realm of Gods is on the brink of collapse. And now, under the lead of such a God King, I'm afraid Gods are truly doomed!”
