Chapter 530: Einherjars Bane Unit (2/2)
The most popular information being searched on skynet was the ranking of the warriors. Guan Dongyang was the only person in Maersa district who made it to the list.
”Hans, have you found out who restored Skynet?”
”Yes, it has to be Battle Wolf. I have heard that they hit the jackpot at Jade City.”
”How much did they make?” Aamir asked.
”Millions.” The words sounded unbelievable even to the speaker himself.
Aamir was shocked by the number, and it took him a while to gather himself. ”Something is going to happen very soon,” Aamir said slowly.
”Captain, I think a stronger Battle Wolf is good for everyone. ”
”It's still too early to say for sure, but we need to act before it's too late.”
”You mean…”
”Talk to them, and see if they are willing to let us work with them.” Aamir cracked a smile.
The power of Battle Wolf had been increasing at an alarming rate, so much so that it had become suspicious. Feeling a greater power was at play behind the rise of Battle Wolf, Aamir decided to take the initiative and form an alliance with the greater power through the pact with Battle Wolf.
Meanwhile, on Earth, a battle between the human force and the immortals had just finished. A human leader wearing a red Einherjar Armor stood on the battlefield, letting the wind toss up her long silken hair. It had been a small victory for humans, but she wondered how many of these small victories were still needed to save the human race.
”My Lady, we have cleaned the battlefield. None of the dark ones got away.”
Ma Xiaoru removed her helmet and revealed her beautiful features. She gazed into the twilit sky and wondered how she could have done it all by herself in the last five years.
As soon as the war started, House Ma had become the Zergs' main target other than House Li. Einherjar Ma Dutian's low profile had made the Zergs underestimate his Einherjar level strength at the beginning of the war. From a mysterious device, Ma Dutian harnessed the tremendous power and dealt a devastating blow to the invading Zerg. After that, House Ma disappeared off the Zergs' radar entirely, presumably hiding in one of their many secret vaults.
It was evident that House Ma was well prepared for the cataclysmic event.
Seeing that Ma Xiaoru had fallen into a reverie, the soldiers left her alone and didn't disturb her. They knew that she was thinking about Wang Tong, the only man in her life.
Although people kept on telling her that Wang Tong was dead, she could feel his presence every living moment, so she waited.
Many times, Ma Xiaoru thought about giving up the wait and her life altogether. But, his smiling face in her memory kept her going.
Half a year ago, she finally reached the legendary level.
Many people saw it as a miracle, but she considered it as long overdue. Li Ruoer had reached the legendary level a year ago, and by now, she should be at least level twenty one.
Despite the huge blow House Li had received over the years, under the leadership of Li Zhedao, House Li had shown an incredible perseverance and tenacity. The performance of Li Shiming and Li Ruoer had also won many resistance forces' hearts. By then, House Li, Ma, Zhang, and Porten's family had formed an alliance which was the backbone of the human resistance on Earth and Moon.
As the mastermind of the alliance force, Li Shiming's answer to the overbearing Zerg forces was guerrilla warfare. He also made it a rule that none of the surviving Einherjars were allowed to face the Zergs alone. Patroclus had even formed a unit called Einherjar's Bane that specialized at killing Einherjars. The humans had paid a costly price for their heroism at the beginning of the war. Within the first couple of weeks of the war, the confederation lost over twenty legendary level warriors at the hands of the Einherjar's Bane. It had been a devastating blow to the morale of the human forces, and the killing needed to be stopped.
