In the second week of September in the Solar Calendar year 1798, newspapers constantly printed by various nations dubbed it the darkest seven days for the alliance.
In just one week, under the purposeful encirclement of the Twelve War Gods, the Kingdom Joint Council Alliance suffered the deaths of no less than nine Eighth-order Strongmen.
The Cerryti Empire spared no sacrifice in its troops to coordinate with the War Gods in suicide-style attacks, forcing the allied nations to divert reinforcements to vital areas. Once any Eighth-order became isolated during the transfer, the War Gods would precisely target and steadily kill them in a three-on-one or seven-on-two mode.
At the same time, facing at least one powerful controller, one powerful attacker, and one healer among the War Gods, no Eighth-order could escape.
Even the news of the Great Priest Loren's death came through.
