602 Deep Blue (2/2)

After some time, the human soldiers noticed commotion ahead of them; instinct readied them for battle in an instant.

Wang Tong conceded that the Zergs would not let them escape so easily. His men were exhausted after climbing the mountain; he wagered that there might be more casualties than he had expected if he didn't have the help of these new minions.

Wang Tong raised a fist to signal his group. The human soldiers quickly rearranged their formation into a defensive stance. Five minutes later, a tsunami of Zergs came at them, threatening to engulf them.

The monsters squealed in excitement; Wang Tong knew they were ready to battle. He sent a soul energy signal, and the hundred or so blue monsters charged at the Zergs with abandon.

While the soldiers readied their weapons, they wondered how Wang Tong's minions would fare against their brothers and sisters. Although they were newly born, they were the same size as those giant Zergs.

The solider didn't have to wait long before they got their answer. They watched in amazement as the monsters formed a single line of charge. They lowered their heads so that their horns were pointed forward, and then they sent out waves of soul energy from the tip of the horns. The soul energy from all the horns weaved a web of destruction in front of the line; it cut through the flesh of Zergs like butter. Even the heavily armored Tank Zergs were reduced into blocks of bloody stumps after the monsters charged past them.

After they reached the center of the Zergs' formation, they truly started to show their deadliness and combat abilities. They came up and stood on their hind legs like a humanoid creature as meter long scythe-shaped weapons protruded from under their front arms. One flat sidearm sweep would claim the lives of half a dozen Zergs.

The human soldiers were stupefied by the display of strength. Wang Tong's eyes were lit up with hope as he watched his minions and realized that he had found another weapon against the Zergs. The monsters were unfazed by the overwhelming numbers of enemies; they quickly devoured one or two of their victims in order to replenish energy and keep fighting.

These Zergs were the queen's newest attempt in breeding the ultimate Zergs. Since it was an experiment, she didn't create a lot of these soldiers. She had spliced together many gene segments from different species, many of which were completely alien to humans. The goal was to breed a new kind of Zerg warrior that was able to counter the humans' soul energy attacks. The queen who was in charge of this hive was one of the mother supremes. She probably had never thought that her life would have ended so abruptly at the hands of a human.

”Boss, these monsters are quite the helpers. I wonder if we can tame them and turn them into our mounts?” Tan Bu asked while his eyes lit up with interest.

The mountainous terrain meant that no vehicles could be operated safely here. Even in the areas where maglev vehicles were allowed, their flimsy construction would not survive the battlefield. The lack of mobility had been an ongoing issue for the warriors. However, with these powerful mounts, they should be able to come and go at will on the battlefield.

Everyone nodded in agreement and looked to Wang Tong expectantly.

The battle in front of the human warriors had ended very quickly. The newborn Zergs had finished off all of their enemies and started to munch on their corpses. Wang Tong sent a signal to them using the soul essence, and the Zergs responded immediately. They stood in a neat row just as Wang Tong intended. The leader of the pact slid closer to Wang Tong and lowered his head obediently.

Wang Tong rubbed the scale on its back; the Zerg purred and lowered itself onto all fours. Its savage nature was gone in an instant, and if it could cradle inside Wang Tong's arm, it surely would.

Wang Tong studied the smooth back of the beast and realized how easy it would be to ride on top. It was as if they were breed was made to be the dark ones' mounts.

Wang Tong pulled himself up on the back of one beast, and then it slowly stood up without any sign of protest. He was pleased by the Zerg's acquiescence, so he laughed and said, ”Good boy! I will call you…Deep Blue!”
