Soon, the Zergs’ bodies piled around outside the manufacturing facility. The Battle Wolf’s defense was impenetrable, with the METAL warriors at the front forming an iron shield, while the mastery warriors dished out damage to the Zergs from the back.

Battle Wolf’s mastery casters were well equipped, powerful warriors. Every mastery caster had an energy crystal from which they could draw energy and rain destruction on the Zergs.

The Zergs attacked the humans relentlessly and didn’t give them any time to rest. Waves after waves of Zergs rushed onto the piles of dead bodies, only to be immediately killed at the top of the hill, adding another few inches to the pile. The attacks lasted until midnight, after which, there was not even one Zerg left in the City.

The warriors and casters were so exhausted that they found it difficult even to lift their arms. However, the battle had not ended yet, as the bulk of the Zerg army was on their way.

“Clean the battlefield, rest in rotations. Keep your guns loaded!” Yin Tianzong took upon himself to become the leader of Battle Wolf, since he had the most experience in dealing with the Zergs.

Seeing the piles of dead Zergs, Lie Xuan’s stomach churned. The facility had turned into a slaughterhouse. Leveraging the terrain’s advantage, the METAL warriors could block the incoming Zergs while the Mastery casters annihilated the majority of the wave with AOE spells. The METAL warriors would then quickly kill the remainder of the gravely injured Zergs. Battle Wolf worked as an efficient line in a Zerg slaughterhouse.

The endurance of most warriors fell short after such exertion, except for Yin Tianzong. Most people started dozing off even while standing guard.

“Don’t fall asleep! Start your tactics, NOW!”

Hearing Yin Tianzong’s warning, many soldiers shook their heads, trying to shake away the sleepiness. If they fall asleep right then, they might not be able to wake up when the Zergs came again.

As the soldiers recuperated, Yin Tianzong flew into the air and surveyed the surrounding area. He noticed many humans emerging out of the thicket around the city. These had been the Zergs’ servants, and they had fled the city the moment Battle Wolf started attacking. Hearing the commotion in the city subside, they moved out of the forest, wanting to see what had happened to the city and the Zergs.

“We are free! We are FREE! Everyone, the Zergs are gone… The dark ones are all killed!” Someone shouted in excitement.

Suddenly, from the shadows of collapsed walls and locked underground cellars, a few thousand Zerg captives emerged in the streets. It was evident that many people were not able to flee the war, and had been hiding all this while.

“Thank you, warrior! Thank…” An elderly survivor walked to Xiao Yuyu, but then quickly fainted out of sheer joy.

“Everyone, listen up! They Zerg Army is on its way to the city. If you want to live, help us clear things up and build up the defense.” Vorenus announced.

“This is the Chief Medic of the Divine Mastery sect. We must unite together when the Zergs came!”

“Let’s do it! I have had enough of the Zergs!” Someone piped up.

“Yea! Let’s kill them all!” The crowd was quickly sizzling with anger and indignation, but the din was laced with murmurs of doubts.

Yin Tianzong landed right in the middle of the citizens. His legendary armor and stately composure lent the crowd confidence, and convinced them to fight together with the warriors. As they started to clear the battlefield, the soldiers could finally get some rest.

“What did you say? Has Battle Wolf attacked the Maersa city? Haha! That is the funniest thing I have heard this year. Did Guan Dongyang take the city for a little settlement?” Marcos was amused by Guan Dongyang’s adolescent act.

“But…captain… the report said that they have just sacked the city…” Randolph said as he shuffled his feet on the ground hesitantly. He was also taken aback by the surprising news when he first heard of it. But, he conceded that it was not fake after he saw the images on Skynet.

“Captain, a large number of Zergs are headed our way. Our camp is on their way back to the city. Some dark ones have already passed us; they didn’t seem to be interested in us. Should we attack? ”

“Balls! Of course! What are you waiting for?” Marcos shouted.

“Captain, we…”

“It’s no time for petty feuds. Guan Dongyang will have my support as long as he is after the Zergs. But, are you sure Guan Dongyang has sacked the city?”

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Captain, I have heard that Battle Wolf had purchased a lot of dynamite,, and they used it against the Zergs that were besieging their camp. What should we do?”

“Use our heavy METAL. Don’t let the Zergs sneak away.”

“Boss, what should we do?” The Flame Squad also received the elating news of Guan Dongyang’s victory.

“Move all our forces out to reinforce Maersa. The resistance along the Zergs’ way won’t be able to stop them. Guan Dongyang will need help.”

“Yea! Move out!”

“Let’s kill some bugs! ”

Soon, all the resistance factions followed suit and joined Battle Wolf’s side. Battle Wolf’s one daring initiative had ignited the will to fight back in all soldier’s hearts, regardless of their faction.

Despite the constant infighting among the factions, everyone hated the Zergs. The combined strength of the local factions had grown to a considerable size, and all they needed was a leader.

“What did you say? Battle Wolf has sacked Maersa?”

“Yes, the Zerg forces that went to Battle Wolf’s camp are retreating. All factions are on the move to run down the fleeting Zergs.”

“Well, what are we doing here then? Move out!”

“Boss, the Zergs are still strong right now. They were going to lose their home, so they fought with extra ferociousness.”

“Buzz off! Maersa is OUR home, not the Zergs’! Although we are a small team, we are not cowards!” The leader of Iron Tooth shouted. Iron Tooth was not alone, as all the factions, small or large, had rushed out of their camps to intercept the Zergs.

All human forces were finally united under one common goal once again.

Although the resistance factions were able to slow down the movement of the primitive Zergs, the dark ones were able to pass through the human blockades with ease.

Although Kun and other dark ones were injured by the sudden explosion to various degrees, their tenacious body had granted them incredible healing abilities. Kun had to get back to his city. The struggle between Moye and Patroclus had reached its crux, and he could not afford to make such a mistake during this sensitive time. Anger roiled inside Kun as he lamented that he should not have listened to Turbolix and underestimated the strength of Wang Tong. If he failed to capture Wang Tong and allowed the human force to take Maersa, he might as well be dead.

As an intelligent creature, unlike their primitive counterparts, dark ones feared death as much as humans would.

Inside Maersa City, all soldiers were on high alert. They knew the Zergs were coming back, so they waited patiently. Thanks to the leadership of the legendary warrior, Yin Tianzong, the soldiers were confident that they would prevail.
