634 Enter The Dark Castle (1/2)

Anger had been building up inside Lie Jian, festering and gnawing at his pride. The soldiers followed Lie Jian and rushed through the threshold. There were still significant number of dark ones inside the castle; however, they were smitten by fear and defenseless. Plagued by hunger, the direwolves devoured the dark ones with great efficiency. They would quickly subdue their prey by piercing them using their giant horn and then gobbling up their life force within a second; they then found their next target, rinsing and repeating.

Bu Zhihuo and his team were in charge of protecting the casters. Despite the severe depletion of their sea of consciousness, Wang Tong, Guan Dongyang, and Michaux were still able to attack the dark ones with deadly force. However, it was the METAL warriors who were taking the brunt of the enemy force.

A group of legendary warriors stormed through the city gate and started to rain death onto the dark ones.

Kaedeians controlled the sky with their airborne units, not giving the dark ones any advantage in the air; the battle quickly turned into a slaughter. It wasn't long before the captain of the castle guards abandoned the castle and fled, leaving only the primitive Zergs to slow down the humans.

Lie Jian's pained face was awash with anguish. He hit the Zergs with as much force as he could muster; each strike was a carrier of not only death, but also punishment. Over the last few days, his House had lost its prestige, and he had lost his father. It was a miracle that Lie Jian could have kept calm in the previous few days.

After Lie Jian had vented his fury on the Zergs, he finally gathered himself and realized that things were on the right track overall. Lie Jian knew that his next task was to reclaim what he had lost to the Zergs. Zambrotta might be the leader of Mars now, but once he was back with his household, he would restore the order. He didn't design to undermine Zambrotta's authority once he was back; instead, he would work his way up and prove his ability as the leader of Mars.

He had been planning and calculating the steps to rebuild his household, and those thoughts in part had prevented him from falling into a fit of rage and remorse.

He had made up his mind to kill the dark lord with his own hands and prove it to the world that House Lie still had it!

A swell of cheers broke Lie Jian's train of thoughts. He looked to Wang Tong and saw a gleeful smile had broken over the earthling's face.

The soldiers had found a hive hidden deep inside the dark castle.

”Boss, we have found twenty-three queens. One of them is big like nothing you have ever seen! There were also many eggs, huge ones…I bet those were the eggs that hatched baby queens. ” Tan Bu pulled up his direwolf in front of Wang Tong.

Wang Tong nodded in response. ”Excellent! Haul them all out!”

The air was awash with excitement as everyone wagered that the queens inside the castle were some of the most high profile masterminds.

”These fat worms thought they could writhe away. The wolves had sniffed them out miles away. Haha”

The soldiers gathered the queens at the plaza; they were too huge to be spread out on the plaza, so the soldiers piled them on top of each other until a small mountain of meat and blubber was formed.

The dark ones and Zergs that had scattered during the attack sensed the queens' anguished keening and turned around instinctively to save them. However, they were quickly laid low by the METAL warriors.

The scent of the queens made the direwolves prick their ears, more of them becoming restless by the second.

Wang Tong nodded and willed the soldiers to unleashed their wolves, which instantly swarmed at their meat. The queens shrieked again, summoning another round of mindless attacks of the dark ones against their wills. One of the largest queens held Wang Tong's gaze as if she was plotting another sinister plan.
