573 Knight Of Onslaugh (1/2)
The fire had fused Zhang Guangming's body permanently to the throne chair that he had wanted so much. For the dignity of his uncle, Michaux didn't carve up his body as he did to the other traitors.
Although Michaux was a compassionate leader, he was not a softy, and he upheld his bottom line more fiercely than anyone else. If it were during peacetime, Michaux might have spared Zhang Guangming's life. However, during this time of turmoil, the last thing humans needed was infighting.
”Young master, are you alright?”
Michaux waved a hand and said, ”The lord of the Divine Will had betrayed the sect. Fang Zhengnan, I now declare you as the new lord of the Divine Will! Lead our man to take the city now…I don't want to see any rebellions.”
”Yes, my lord.” Fang Zhengnan quickly gathered his troops and charged out of the city. What Zhang Guangming failed to understand was that even if Michaux were dead, he still wouldn't be the next in line to inherit the title.
Seeing Zhang Guangming was dead, everyone cheered with relief. No one liked this inept and arrogant prince anyway.
…
The next day morning, Wang Tong, Xiao Yuyu, and the other field medics started toward Maersa. Although Xiao Yuyu held a hard expression, she was beautiful as ever. The war didn't exclude women from the battlefield, for they had as much strength as men.
Their Maglev whizzed through the streets as Xiao Yuyu watched Wang Tong in the driver's seat, her heart filled with mixed emotions. However, she knew that as long as she was with him, she would not feel lonely ever again.
Meanwhile, one of the metropolises behind the front line, the Magellan, was on fire.
”Mathew, lead a unit to stop those two giant a*s Zergs in the southeast corner.”
”My lord, let's pull back for now. We can't handle the golden dark one.”
”Pull back? Pull back to where?”
”My lord, there will be firewood to burn as long as the green hills stay. If we keep going like this, we will exhaust all of our elite units in no time.”
”Then, let me die with them! Someone else can be the city lord in my stead. If I allow the Zergs to ravage the city like this, how could I call myself the protector of the city?”
Song Zhong was only a level nineteen warrior; however, he had two legendary warriors under his command. In the past, the two legendary warriors had pushed back many Zerg's raids and were hailed as the heroes by the local civilians. Their victories had inspired not only those inside the Magellan, but also those who lived in the suburb areas. As long as the legendary warriors were with them, no one would fear the Zergs.
However, after they defeated a golden dark one, they finally had caught the dark lord's attention. For the second wave of attack, Moye sent in five golden dark ones and five golden giant Zergs. The city was overwhelmed in seconds, and both legendary warriors were killed while protecting the people. Although the two legendary warriors were able to drag three golden dark ones with them to the underworld, their death had left the humans vulnerable to the savagery of the remaining two golden dark ones.
Even then, the city Lord Song Zhong didn't regret his decision of fighting back. If he had to die today on the battlefield, then so be it.
As the giant Zergs inflicted massive damage to the city's structures, the golden dark one picked off human warriors one after another. Any human warrior who was level eighteen or above was a fair game.
”Brothers, this is a good day to DIE! Charge!”
Two golden dark ones swooped down from the sky. The goal of their mission was to punish those humans who dared to fight back. They need to completely subjugate the humans, both physically and mentally; making them their most obedient slaves and test subjects.
The strongest element in Humans was their will, while the strongest element in the Zergs was their bodies. Moye was eager to find out what the humans would be like if he strained the human body beyond its limit.
Surprisingly, the human warriors inside the city felt no fear for such torture. Fear for death should be the strongest emotion of the humans; however, the defenders of the city charged into the Zerg formation with abandon as if they were seeking death.
Song Zhong and his comrades could have chosen to stay inside the bunker and call it ”preserving the green hills.” However, if everyone acted like that, the Zergs would never be defeated. Although the two elite human soldiers had paid the ultimate sacrifice, there were at least three less golden dark ones in the world…It was worth it!
As the two legendary warriors fell to the ground, more soldiers rose against the Zerg and continued to carry their banners.
Kom!
A giant Zerg's leg was blown off, and the human soldiers swarmed toward it to finish it off. The Zerg fought back by spitting fire at the soldiers; in a blink, a couple of soldiers were reduced into ashes. However, the rest of them were unflinching as they continued their charge. When they reached the defenseless limping Zerg, they chopped it up into pieces.
Although the Zergs were powerful, they were not invincible. As long the human soldiers fought bravely as a team, they should have a chance of surviving the onslaught.
Although Song Zhong was the highest commander of the city, he fought along with the ordinary soldiers on the ground. While protecting himself with a blade, he watched as his soldiers fell to the ground one after another. Before long, he realized that all of his personal guards were killed, and he was now standing alone on the battlefield.
