623 The Kaedeians Arrival (1/2)

Harmon managed to run away again. He had spun on his tail as soon as he found out something amiss in the mastery spell. Although the spell of forbidden power spread at an incredible speed, Harmon was faster. Plus, the hundreds of thousands of Zergs had helped to slow down the deadly deluge from catching up with him. The parasite inside his chest had helped him remain calm during the moment of life or death.

He was the only surviving member of the Zerg party to have witnessed the terrifying power. He even wondered if the divine lord himself would be able to survive when caught in that spell. Despite the long list of shortcomings of casters, damage output was definitely not one of them.

Harmon stormed across the battlefield and ran back to the dark lord's castle. The dark lord was furious after hearing the news, partly because of the defeat at the hands of Wang Tong and partly because of the set back at the front lines; but mostly because of Wang Tong. Some report claimed that the War God who appeared at the frontlines had reached an incredible level of thirty, making him much more powerful than any Einherjar Moye had known.

How was it that Moye had never heard of him before?

He had been collecting information about all of the powerful human warriors over a century, and never once had he come across the name War God.

To add insult to the injury, Wang Tong had fooled him again.

Before all this happened, Moye thought that Mars was already within his reach; he could have it whenever he wanted. But, the recent developments had proven him wrong.

The war that Moye had been preparing for years was meant to be the last nail on humanity's coffin, but it had come to a jarring halted at humans' last line of defense. While the humans increased the store of defenses at the front line, the Zergs sought to diminish their morale using raids. However, none of the golden dark ones had returned from their mission. Their brutality only united the people even more. Meanwhile, Lie Jintian had led two regiments and stormed through two Zerg camps. After bouts of battles, Moye was surprised to find out that the power of human warriors was superior to his dark ones.

In other words, Moye had to rely on numbers to gain an edge in the war.

It was difficult for the dark ones to accept the reality of their incompetence. They were created to surpass the power of humans; if they failed to do so, they would have lost the meaning of their existence.

In order to prove their worthiness, they need to attack!

All the human soldiers would have to die…The War God, Lie Jintian, and Wang Tong, all of them!

As the war went on, the human soldiers started to act differently, particularly the powerful ones. No longer did they avoid the Zerg parties as they became more proactive and eager to fight.

The War God protected the humans at the defensive line, Wang Tong fought deep in the heartland of the Zerg territory, and Lie Jintian darted from camp to camp, covering the space between the other two warriors. Meanwhile, Zambrotta and his men were also busy killing Zergs and advance further into the Zerg's territory.

Over the years, the EB units had greatly limited the activities of human warriors. As the humans bit down their anger, it infested inside them and eventually erupted into a vehement comeback that was too powerful for the Zergs to handle. Even the hold of EB unit over the powerful warriors was broken after the human warriors got used to them.

…

The Einherjar's Bane unit had been long since obsolete on the Earth. When a powerful human warrior was spotted, it was either the Divine Lord himself or the Divine Generals who would meet them in combat.

Throughout the war, the Kaedeians had always been in a defensive position; not only that, they also refused to join the offensive missions. Despite the resentment for their circumspection from Einherjar Lie Jintian, Kaedeians conceded that they had no other options. They had always been the vanguard in the confederation's army, and one could see what that had gotten them into. Their population dwindled, and soldiers dropped on the frontlines like flies. Their race was dying; their hatred toward the Zergs ran deeper than that in the humans. But in order to preserve the only remaining seeds of their civilization, the Kaedeian Queen had adopted an unduly defensive stance during the war.

Inside of the city walls, the Kaedians waited for an opportunity to strike back, and the opportunity finally came with humans' miraculous comeback. They charged all units out of the city wall to fight back against the Zergs. They knew that the solar system belonged to the humans, and in order to survive, they would have to follow the humans' lead.
