Tempest of the Battlefield Chapter 606

The tiny opening in the northern front had given the Martian united front an opportunity to wage a counterattack . The goal of the counter was not to defeat Zergs; instead, it was supposed to be a strategic show of strength, hoping to keep the pressure on the latter .  

The Zergs wouldn't have understood the concept of pressure before the dark ones were born . The primitive Zergs hardly ever thought about battle tactics, since they lacked both intelligence and emotions .  Timing was the key in implementing any military tactical moves, and Wang Tong's task was to provide such opportunity for human resistance .  

While the Zergs were turning the world upside down in trying to find Wang Tong and his retinue, the human warriors didn't just hide in a cave— not like there was any cave to hide from the get-go . Instead, they turned around and tried to stay ahead of the Zerg search parties . However, they were still too slow .

In three days, they had over a hundred skirmishes with Zerg search parties, and no one on the team had slept ever since they left Ontario . The situation could have been worse, and if not because of Deep Blue and its brood brothers, half of the team would have already been killed .

Each time the human warriors were encircled by the Zergs, it was the direwolves who had brought them out of danger . Their incredible mobility meant that they could easily break out of the encirclement and flank the Zergs from behind .  

In a large open field, the soldiers were taking a brief respite . They had once again successfully outmaneuvered the Zergs, and the soldiers were waiting for Wang Tong's further instructions .

"Our plan has worked! Judging by the number of Zergs that are looking for us, I say Xie Su is really pissed . "

"I think it's about time to enter the core area . Once we do, I think it's not just Xie Su who is going to get pissed, Moye too . " Wang Tong cracked a smile . "How is everyone doing? I know we hardly had time to sleep, but I have to give you guys a fair warning . Once we enter the core area, we will have even less chance to take a nap . "

"No problem! You think too little of us . It is not only you who is good at falling asleep . " Xiao Yuyu said .  

During the on and off of perilous battles, knowing how and when to sleep was also a life skill . It was easy enough to fall asleep when the moment was right, but it was difficult to learn to have the guard still up while sleeping .  
The soldiers learned the skills very quickly after they crossed the border to the Zerg land .

Xiao Libie was a new addition, and therefore, he was still trying to get used to the life in Battle Wolf . Although he was a legendary level warrior, he was the least experienced in handling the situation they were in . When he first joined Battle Wolf, he was confident that his ability would rank in the top three . However, in only three days, he knew that it was an overstatement calling himself even one of the top ten warriors of Battle Wolf . Even some girls could handle sleep deprivation, hunger, and fatigue better than him .

Despite the unprecedented challenge he was facing, Xiao Libie knew that it was only the beginning . However, the difficulties also convinced him that he had made the right choice in joining Wang Tong .  

Guan Dongyang unfurled the map and spread it across the table . The leaders of the retinue were plotting their next move . The road to the central block of the Zerg land was heavily guarded . By then, not only the Zergs, even the Martians knew that Wang Tong was after Moye's castle .  

Regardless of whether Wang Tong was able to defeat Moye, the Zergs could not let a small group of the human soldiers infiltrate into their heartland . If that happened, it would make the world know that those dark ones were inferior to humans . The war with humans had blown the dark ones' ego to an epic proportion . So, they could not bear the thought of humiliation; they had to stop Wang Tong at all cost .

When Xie Su sent out all of his troops to kill Wang Tong, Moye didn't say a thing . He had wanted to recruit Wang Tong and make him a dark one . But after seeing what Wang Tong was capable of, he decided to do away with the potential risk .

Wang Tong and his friends scanned the map, calculated their moves, and weighed the options . Suddenly, a unit city caught everyone's attention . It was a perfect spot to leave memorabilia for their fellow Zerg opponents before they left for the central area .

…

"What? Disappeared again?" Xie Su snarled . In a fit of uncontrollable anger, he squeezed the messenger's head until it caved in and became a blob of mush in his hand .

"General, we have placed layers of defense on the way to the central block . They wouldn't have passed through unnoticed . I bet they are hiding somewhere, conspiring on their next move . " Harmon rubbed his chin and pondered on . He had done a thorough personality check on Wang Tong and started to think from his opponent's perspective . What Wang Tong wanted was not another city or the lives of the dark ones . He wanted to help the front line . Along the same line of thinking, the central area was not Wang Tong's goal either .  

Seeing Harmon close his eyes and fall into his own reverie again, Xie Su frowned annoyingly . It had been harder and harder for him to contain his anger, and more often than not, he felt his defeat was everyone else's fault .  

"Hua Li, bring me the map . "

"Yes, Principal!"

The young and handsome looking young immortal used to be an elite student from Capth . When Harmon turned to Patroclus, he took an elite army with him . These elites of the former A class academy were convinced that Patroclus' actions were offering humanity another chance, a transformation into something much better . Their youthful minds were full of ideals, and were easily swayed . Somehow, Patroclus was not only able to justify his actions, but also had persuaded them that they were the future of humanity . Whoever stood before them was against a better future .  

On the map, the young immortal had marked the Zerg's defense lines clearly . It was evident that Wang Tong would never be able to pass these lines unnoticed .  

The obvious left only one possibility to Wang Tong's sudden disappearance: he was up to something .  Harmon knew right away where Wang Tong was going to attack next: Kashan!

The obvious left only one possibility to Wang Tong's sudden disappearance: he was up to something .  Harmon knew right away where Wang Tong was going to attack next: Kashan!

The moment of epiphany elated the old principal, as he jumped out of his chair and announced, "It's Kashan, Wang Tong is going after Kashan! Haha! What a conspicuous fool!"

Xie Su was startled by Harmon's outburst . After he realized what Harmon had said, he muttered to himself, "That's suicide . "

Xie Su couldn't make sense of it . Kashan was the largest city in northern district, and was the most heavily guarded .  

Attacking the city with a small force is no different than begging for defeat .  

"Haha, this is the wide spirit of humans . The more dangerous a place is, the more likely one is to succeed . Most of the armies in Kashan are out about searching for Wang Tong, and the enormous size of the city gives Wang Tong more angles to wage his assault . It is the perfect target . " Harmon's voice sounded almost like a compliment . He marveled at Wang Tong's ability to go with the flow and change his plan on the spot . What a pity that he wouldn't be recruited to work for Patroclus; otherwise, the world would have already belonged to the immortals . The humans on Mars had no hope of surviving the Zergs' invasion until Wang Tong showed up and changed things around .

However, Harmon would not let him have his way any longer .

"Are you sure?"Xie Su asked incredulously .

"General Xie Su, no one can be certain of anything, but this is my best guess . " 

"You have been wrong once . How sure are you this time? What if this is another ruse?" Xie Su asked .  

"You have been wrong once . How sure are you this time? What if this is another ruse?" Xie Su asked .  

Harmon didn't mind the threat and put down . Xie Su's barking sounded like a child's ramblings to him .

"I am very certain he will go to Kashan . You should get ready . However, we don't need to pull more soldiers back from the front line . I think what we have now should be enough to handle Wang Tong if we are prepared . " Harmon said thinly . He lamented that if he were not here on Mars, no one here would be able to stop Wang Tong from claiming the planet .

"No problem! Do you think I will need to pull all the scouts back?"

Harmon shook his head and said, "Let's pretend that we know nothing . The more we act out, the more likely we will jinx it . We need to prepare our welcoming party very quietly . "

"Haha! Very well then! I have been looking forward to meeting this human devil!" Xie Su swung his cloak around and sauntered out of the meeting room . The plan was clear: he wouldn't gather a massive number of Zergs; the defensive forces of Kashan and his retinue of golden dark ones would suffice .

The trap was set, and he only had to wait for Wang Tong to rise to the bait .

Meanwhile, the immortals were also preparing for the upcoming battle with Wang Tong . Five years ago, Capth was defeated by Ayrlarng; yet five years late, Hua Li was determined to avenge that humiliating defeat .

…

Somewhere inside the Zerg controlled territory, a campfire burned furtively and low . Of all the two hundred House Lie elites that Lie Jian had brought with him, only two were still awake . The rest of the soldiers were soundly asleep, and the camp had fallen pin drop silent . Tomorrow, more hard battle for survival awaited them . The tiny opening in the northern front had given the Martian united front an opportunity to wage a counterattack .
