Chapter 623: The Kaedeians Arrival

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.

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.
