623 The Kaedeians Arrival (2/2)

The Kaedeian's goal was clear: the dark lord's castle.

These female warriors didn't set their ambitious goal in order to impress the humans; instead, they wanted to help Wang Tong, their only savior.

…

Dark Seal City was a fort at the outskirts of the Dark Castle; by then, the city had fallen into chaos as the human warriors charged right through its gate. The fort guarded the seat of the dark ones' power; its prestige was beyond description. Never had the defenders thought that the lowly humans would attack them, and neither did they see anyone ever crippling their defense even in their wildest imaginations.

Nonetheless, the humans had already stormed through the gate, into the city.

The three casters—Wang Tong, Guan Dongyang, and Michaux, were so powerful that they could demolish an entire section of the city wall without even evoking the forbidden power.

Fear was contagious, and it spread no slower among the dark ones than the humans. The more defeats the Zergs had to endure, the more passive they became. On the other hand, victories boosted the soldiers' confidence and raised their spirits. The anger and vindictiveness had been stored inside on them for too long, starting to fester and multiply, eventually erupting in a vengeful outburst. As they plowed through the Zergs, their mind became sharper and goals clearer. These warriors had been through hell and come back alive with more vengeance to seek and more zergs to kill. What were fears to men who had been once dead?

The Zergs' cowardice accentuated the humans' bravery. Deep Blue had shed skin many times with its growth, and each time it happened, its power multiplied. The direwolves might not have grown so fast if not for the bond with their human riders. All of them had been growing at a fascinating rate. Their scales turned deeper in blue while their frame grew in size.

Wang Tong felt that something else was changing in them; their savage nature had diminished over time, yet the ferociousness remained. Moreover, the bond between these beasts and the soldiers had transcended beyond that of a beast and master. It was a genuine care for each other, and at times, sacrifice.

The most powerful ability of humans was to change and affect other sentient creatures.

The EB unit had become a joke before these deadly retinues. Even if they were still effective, how many legendary warriors could they kill before they were exhausted?

Even to get to the legendary warriors, they would have to cross paths with over a hundred level twenty soldiers.

The attack came without any premonition, and the humans' power stupefied the defenders of the fort; they were run down in an instant. The defense of the city was weak, not only because of oversight, but also because Moye had sent the bulk of the army to the frontlines.

Looking at Battle Wolf's swift advancement, Wang Tong reflected on his next move. His goal was not to take over the city, but to kill Moye. Perhaps, Wang Tong wagered, it would be easier to lure the dark lord out than directly attack the city. But, would the dark lord rise to the bait?

The dark castle was an impenetrable fortress, and scaling its wall could be a dangerous act. Even if they managed to get inside, they still had to deal with the dark lord, a formidable warrior in his own right. Wang Tong knew better not to underestimate Moye's strength, as he figured that the dark lord was at the very least as powerful as Mr. Wannabe.

As the factory churned out more GN guns, it would only be a matter of time before humans achieved the final victory. But before that happened, these warriors still had a lot of work to do.

Suddenly, the soldiers heard roaring of engines in the sky as a fleet of jets glided across the sky, dropping off a squad of Kaedeian warriors right in the middle of combat.

Lie Jian furrowed his brow and lamented bitterly, ”Finally!”

Despite being fashionably late, the Kaedeians' appearance was a relief for the human soldiers. After so many intense battles, the soldiers had long since passed the limit of their bodies; they were still standing only because of the Divine Light spells.
