626 Into The Sewer (1/2)
Meanwhile, Wang Tong and Michaux had led a group of mastery casters and entered the sewer.
”Michaux, are you the first Divine Master to have used a sewer to enter a city?” Guan Dongyang asked abruptly.
”Why? Are you going to write a book about it?” Michaux asked.
”Maybe…Hehe.”
”Make sure you add in your book that I did it with the heir of the Blade Warrior, as well as the fire lord.” The field medics couldn't suppress their snickers. Right down here in this sewer were gathered some of the most powerful casters on Mars.
The war had started to favor the humans, and each battle was the mastery casters' chance to reinstate their importance in the human world.
”I am impressed, Michaux! You can actually tell a joke... Haha! I thought you are the same as that long-face Lie Jian.” Tan Bu blurted out.
”You idiot! Don't you know it is an affront to call the Divine Master by name?” Guan Dongyang gave Tan Bu's head a knock.
”Haha, can you write that into the book too? Haha” Tan Bu laughed like an idiot.
”Buzz off!”
Everyone threw banters and jokes at each other in hushed voices while also keeping a tight hold on their soul energy so that the Zergs above them wouldn't detect them.
The Zergs' attention was all on the invading human force at the city gate. The humans had been increasingly conspicuous in their attacks as their fear toward the dark ones receded.
The dark ones were at a loss once they noticed that the EB units were no longer adequate against powerful human warriors. What had happened?
As the dark ones were turning over the question and trying to improvise a defense plan, the sky turned darker despite being midday.
The EB unit might have worked in a one on one situation. However, when they faced a group of legendary warriors, the EB units were not able to counter their combined might. Plus, the direwolves made the EB unit's task even more difficult to manage.
Once the EB unit failed to contain the human warriors, it was the Zergs' turn to be scared.
The dark ones' flaw was evident: they lacked any sense of strategy. Their defect had given the human warriors opportunity to focus on one or two weak links in the Zerg ranks.
In the eyes of the dark ones, these invaders were not human at all; they were the punishment the god had sent down on them.
”Sh*t! There are so many of them, my arm is feeling sore!” Lie Jian cursed after each move. He had been at it for a few hours, and fatigue was slowly creeping into his body. Despite their advantage in strength, this battle could not be won by the METAL warriors alone.
Lie Jian was very curious about the forbidden power. What a shame that he had fallen asleep when it was at display last time.
As a METAL warrior, Lie Jian had limited appreciation for the casters. They were too weak in one on one combat, and that was true for Michaux as well. However, if the new spell was really as powerful as people claimed, he might regard the casters in a different light from then on.
Lie Jian's mistake was not his conceit, although he was; instead, it was his shortsightedness. He had observed the mastery in its nascence, and quickly made a conclusion about its power. Little did he knew that this new power would grow to be too powerful to comprehend.
By then, the Zergs' defense was in tatters. Wang Tong didn't even throw all of his best METAL warriors at them, bringing a dozen or so with him down to the sewer. When they finally got to their destination, Wang Tong felt a strange gratefulness toward the Zergs for keeping the entire sewer so clean. They were not that useless after all.
Wang Tong nodded to Tan Bu and Lun Duo, who then launched toward the ceiling of the sewer chamber.
KOM!
The ground cracked open, releasing a dozen human warriors. The dark ones felt the scene ironically familiar. Surprise attack from underground was the Zergs' most loved battle tactic.
The warriors didn't hesitate for a second and threw themselves at the dark ones as soon as they emerged, leaving the mastery casters behind, who hauled themselves out of the crack one after another.
