589 The Vice Principal Of Capth (2/2)
”Yeah, yeah, that was old news. Those knights are all the leaders of the resistance forces behind the front lines. What about it?”
”I have heard that there are great secrets hidden in those golden blades.”
”Secret? What kind of secrets?”
”Some kind of tactics that were able to transform a single circulation of GN force into double circulations. These tactics are gradually gaining popularity in those cities led by knights.”
”Order from the command center…troop mobilizes toward the northern regiment number twenty-three. ” A messenger shouted at the officers.
Everyone looked at each other with disbelief. Although the Zergs' reinforcements had been sluggish at the northern front, that didn't mean the situation would last. What if the Zergs started to pick up their reinforcement speed?
However, an order was an order.
…
Michaux and Lie Jian hovered over a table and studied a giant map with grave expressions. Neither of them had smiled once ever since the war broke out. The final battle came a bit too soon.
”You don't think it's too risky? Maybe, it was not Wang Tong.” Michaux was taken aback by Lie Jian's daring decision.
”Hehe...I know you like Wang Tong, but you don't know him half as much as I do. There is only two persons that I feared…One is Patroclus, and the other is Wang Tong. I cared about Wang Tong's actions on Mars more than anyone else. I can tell you this for sure…The current inactivity of the Zergs was definitely the work of Wang Tong.” Lie Jian said.
”So, you believe his strategy has worked?”
”Very much so. Although we can't get hold of him, no news is good news. If Wang Tong was captured or killed, we should have already heard it by now.” Lei Jian's face finally showed a faint smile and then continued.
”Although Wang Tong is my rival, I know what is the best for everyone right now. We can continue our competition once the Zerg problem is gone. However, I doubt that Wang Tong will be enough to avert the crisis completely.”
”You mean...you want to join Wang Tong?”
”If he can do it, I can do it better. Besides, the front line is not going to feel any different without a few hundred soldiers, but we can significantly slow the Zergs down from within.”
”It's too dangerous. Einherjar Lie Jintian wouldn't approve it.”
”He can't control me.”
Lie Jian was tempted to copy Wang Tong's strategy after seeing how effective it was. His father was the absolute commander of the war, and therefore, he felt useless staying with the army. If he could sneak behind the lines, his abilities could be put to better use.
”Very well then, maybe I should join you too. I am sure Moye would want to meet me.” Michaux said.
”Not you…You need to show the public that we are still with them.”
”So, you get to be a hero while I stay home and be a statue? No way! I have already arranged everything on my side. If anything happens to me, Susu will inherit my title. Although I hope she can be more mature, she has accumulated enough prestige to stake her claim now.” Michaux said.
Lie Jian knew he couldn't refuse Michaux, so he left the conversation at that. He wagered that his and Michaux's names should be able to attract the Zergs' attention. In addition, he reckoned that the elite soldiers could contribute much more to the war behind the enemy lines than on the city walls.
Just as Candler had expected, the Samgha city reported human activity. Wang Tong had used this trick once at Mephisto City. He would feint attack an insignificant target to bait the real target to leave the city, and then attack the real target while it was ill-prepared. This time, Wang Tong would not be able to pull the trick off so easily, since Candler was in charge.
”What exactly did the scouts say? How many humans did they see?” Candler asked.
”They had spotted two very powerful human soldiers. I think they work for the human devil.”
