604 Zerg Massacre (1/2)

It was the slow reinforcement at the northern front that had given humans time to cobble together a GN gun unit. Xie Su had spent a lot of time looking for Wang Tong, and by the time they conceded that he had gone missing, it was already too late as the GN gunners had already reached the frontlines.

In other words, Wang Tong was the culprit of this subpar performance of the Zerg army.

Moye was very dissatisfied with his troops' performance during the war. He had expected them to have already taken over Mars a few months ago, but they were still unable to break the humans' line of defense. In a fit of anger, he made up his mind to kill all humans on Mars once he had defeated their army.

The delays in the reinforcements aside, Zergs still had the upper hand in the war. A huge uncertainty still hung above the humans' head, since till this day, Michaux and Lie Jian were nowhere to be found. These two warriors were essential in preserving human morale. Their death would be an unthinkable loss for the humans.

The two warriors represented not only themselves, but also the two most powerful factions of the Mars. Lie Jian was House Lie's best candidate to inherit the family power, and the same went for Michaux. Although Susu was able to inherit Michaux's title, she had far less authority over the sect members than her brother. If another Zhang Guanming surfaced from the sect, the sect would be doomed without Michaux.

The public desperately needed a strong leader while both of their heroes was missing in action.

As the Martian public anxiously awaited the return of their future leaders, another human started to wreak havoc deep behind the enemy line. Once Wang Tong was out of the mountain and into the plains, he charged his three hundred deadly retinues into a Zerg city.

He didn't even bother to cover up his tracks this time; his attack was so conspicuous that the Zergs had spotted him from miles away.

Their target was Ontario City, one of the largest city in the Zerg land. When the city commander saw Wang Tong, he was on his way to investigate the distress signal from Mount Dynamo.

Three days ago, Wang Tong might have avoided the Zergs' main force and charged right into his empty city instead. However, it had occurred to Wang Tong that taking one or two cities meant nothing if he couldn't get under the dark lord's skin.

He was well aware of the intricate power balance between the dark lord and Patroclus. He knew that between the two, Moye was the one who would never relate to his existence. Capturing Wang Tong meant as much to the dark lord as winning the war on the human. If the dark lord lost his purpose in the eyes of the mother supreme, he might as well wait for Patroclus to come and claim Mars for himself.

Even the lower level dark ones feared death and were addicted to their life, much less the powerful and intelligent dark lord.

As the dark one's army charged toward Wang Tong, he stood up in his saddle and shouted, ”Formation!”

Although the dark ones had no clue who this group of human soldiers was, they knew they had to do away with them. It was too far away from human settlements to encounter a group of traveling merchants. They charged at the human intruders without given their identity too much thought.

When the dark one was finally close enough to see Wang Tong's face, he finally recalled the face of the human devil on the posters; but it was already too late.

What was worse, these human devils were all riding on top of angry blue demons. Together, they charged forward with such ferocity that the dark ones felt their heart stop beating in fear. When the dark ones finally gathered themselves and were about to strike back, their heads had already been detached from their shoulders. Wang Tong didn't waste his precious time playing with these dark ones. He and his army killed all of them in one swift charge. The human soldiers rode on toward Ontario city without even sparing the dead corpses on the ground a glance.

Deep Blue and his brothers possessed an incredible mobility on the battlefield. They could reach six to seven meters high in one leap, and therefore, were able to bring the human soldiers through any hurdles on the battlefield with ease. The direwolves' mobility coupled with the soldiers' incredible strength made the pair a perfect match. The soldiers felt grateful for having their direwolf assistants. After all, nothing felt more exhilarating to a human warrior than completely dominating the Zergs on the battlefield.

When the human warriors arrived in Ontario, it was apparent that the news about the city lord's death hadn't reached the dark ones inside the city yet.

Meanwhile, it had also occurred to the human warriors how quietly their direwolves were able to travel, since none of the dark ones seemed to have noticed them approaching. These creatures were the perfect weapons that the Zergs had created for the dark lord's favorite blood kin.

However, not only had Wang Tong stolen the Zergs' hard-earned product, but he had also silenced the queen mother forever. It would take another queen mother decades of research to reproduce these perfect weapons.
