The war was taking a bad turn for
Fallen Angels
. The new army recruits were not getting nearly enough training before they were being shoved to the front line. They were dead as soon as they were drafted. Most of the Gatling turrets were gone now, and though the air force of
Astariel
did everything they could, they were hopelessly outmatched, and the borders ha almost been breached man times. It was only a matter of time... But troops on all sides were tiring. This was a war that would end badly for everyone.
For Chesstopia, ~2,100 died.
For Flying Kiwi, ~900 died.
