609 A Sliver Of Hope (1/2)

”Yeah, that's what you are good for, kissing boss's a*s! Haha!” Duo Lun jested with a wry smile.

”Buzz off! Didn't you know that bragging is also a skill? Am I right, boss?” Tan Bu's confidence knew no bounds.

”Great, thank you! Made on Earth too! Haha! Take whatever you want and burn the rest!” Wang Tong said.

A group of scraggly figures emerged out from the human soldiers.

”Wait, hero! Can you please take us with you?”

Yin Tianzong furrowed his brows. He noticed that these were the human slaves that the dark ones kept in the city. Years of confinement had taken the luster out of their eyes; however, their otherwise blank faces were ridden with surprises.

”Lun Duo, give some of our rations to them.”

”Head north, that's where general Zambrotta is. You will all die if you follow us.”

The humans were victims of Zergs' unthinkable tortures, and the will of resistance in them had long since died out. Lun Duo had left them enough ration to reach Zambrotta and a few maglevs. They knew that his group was the famous human devil and his deadly retinue, so none of them dared to ignore their suggestions.

Since the Zergs were distracted by Wang Tong, this group of refugees had a chance of getting to safety. The death of Xie Su had also increased their odds of survival.

After the human soldiers had pillaged the city of its food, they razed it to the ground and stormed toward the central area of the Zerg land.

Kashan was taken down, with the head of the northern warden on a pike. The news quickly spread like wildfire and reached the human side.

Every city was steeped in joy and celebration. This was a miracle!

What Battle Wolf had achieved before they took on the mountain journey was incredible, and now, this was an unbelievable act out of a high tale. Kashan was the largest Zerg city, and it was destroyed with a snap of Wang Tong's finger. More relevant to the home front, Wang Tong had killed Xie Su, which meant the defending soldiers could start a full-on offensive attack at the northern front.

This was an opportunity of a lifetime, so the human resistance acted on it quickly. The attack was a success, and had alleviated a lot of pressure from the battlefield.

The Zergs were caught off guard. Even Zambrotta and turned his force around and joined the rest of the human resistance forces at the north to attack the Zergs from both sides.

Soldiers stationed at other parts of the frontlines doubled up their defense, making sure that the Zergs would not break while they waited for the perfect moment to lash out.

Just as Wang Tong had calculated, the death of Xie Su brought total chaos to the northern section of the battlefield, since the art of commanding troops could not be easily mastered by any dark one.

Overall, Xie Su had been a competent commander, but the same could not be said about the blood kin that got assigned as the new warden. He was an extremely powerful dark in a one on one combat, but a laughably impotent general.

Due to bad management and outright horrible decision, the Zergs had suffered two catastrophic defeats in a row. Zambrotta and the main forces were able to join forces as they had planned successfully.

The development had connected the head and the tail of the defensive line, making it much stronger than ever.

It had been a while since the humans had achieved any meaningful victory over the Zergs. The success in the north had boosted the resistance's morale significantly.

But, despite their triumphant advances, the human soldiers didn't brag about it. Instead, their lunchtime conversation mostly involved another group of soldiers in the heartland of the Zergs' territory.

The leader's name is Wang Tong, and he was the heir of the legendary Blade warrior.

At the onset of Battle Wolf's success, everything believed that luck was the main factor contributing to their cause, and Michaux and Oddin could have done it better. However, that was far from what had happened afterward.

When surprise attack was getting old, and everyone thought Wang Tong's operation would come to a halt, he proved in the battle of Kashan that he didn't need the element of surprise from the outset.
