Tempest of the Battlefield Chapter 615

The human soldiers were lucky that they had brought enough energy crystals with them; otherwise, the casters would never have enough energy to deal with this many Zergs .

Lie Jian surveyed the area, and he knew that going out of the building was suicidal . The building was sturdy, and it would hold . He didn't just pick any building as a shelter; he knew this building well . This place used to be called the Torch of Antonio, and its bones were made out of a new metal called adamantium . It used to be a signal tower during the war, and it had become a tourist attraction during peacetime . It's sturdy shape and structure had left Lie Jian a deep impression years ago . Even after much modifications of the Zergs, he was able to recognize the structure with ease .

By then, the face of the structure was battered beyond recognition, but its structure was still sound . The slow progress made Jiezhe grimace . Not only were the human soldiers tough nuts to crack, so was their shelter as well . If he knew this funky looking building would give him so much trouble, he would have already demolished it .  

While the Zergs were dropping like flies, Jiezhe confirmed the identities of the human leaders . As he cherished having caught two big fish, he doubled down on the assault and called in the reserve Zergs to join the battle . He ordered his soldiers to attack the humans round the clock until they gave up the fight due to exhaustion .  

Lie Jian soon registered the Zerg lord's intent as he noticed that the Zergs worked in shifts to keep the pressure on them . It occurred to him that this seemingly safe building might as well be their coffin . Death did not scare the soldiers; their last wish was to show these Zergs their full power before they died .

Lie Jian kept calm and turned over the problem logically . Their best chance was to preserve strength and defend the building with only a quarter of the soldiers at one time . The rest of the soldiers would rest before it was their turn .

Not only did they have enough weapon and ammo, the fresh Zerg meat was laying around them everywhere . They had had much worse meals than this, such as rotten Zerg meat as well as mastery casters .

Lie Jian and his soldiers would do anything to survive .  

The primitive desires and savagery that humans had buried deep under their pretense of civilization now shone feverishly in Lie Jian's eyes . He wanted to become the man who would ride on the back of the world; he would not fall here .  

The world failure did not exist in Lie Jian's dictionary .

By then, the battle had lasted for over five hours, and neither the building nor the soldiers had shown any sign of wavering . Jiezhe's patience was wearing thin; the sight of the human soldiers devouring the Zerg meat also sent a chill down his spine . Some dark ones averted their eyes from such savagery . Even as half humans, they limited their menu to only the brains .  
Perhaps this was the first time that the Zergs had met another race that had outdone them in terms of brutality .

With a strong shelter, medics, weapons, and food, the soldiers were ready for a prolonged battle . They were the best soldiers on Mars, and they wouldn't go down without putting up a fight .

Although there was no immediate threat, Lie Jian seemed troubled . After surveying their surroundings, he conceded that the situation would deteriorate quickly once the powerful dark ones finally showed up . Other than him and Michaux, there were another three legendary warriors, so they should be able to handle the Zergs in one city . However, the longer they stayed here, the more likely they would have to deal with Zergs from the dark lord's palace .

Their only option right then was to wait for any opportunities of breaking the encirclement .

"My lord, if the situation continues like this, it would only be a matter of time before we are swallowed by them . Let me lead a group to break an opening for you and the others to get out of here . " Lie Shan suggested . Although he was only a level twenty-two METAL warrior, he was old enough to see the danger .

Lie Jian shook his head and said, "Uncle Shan, if we go out there now, we will all die . We should hold the line . This building is our only hope . "

There was nothing else the human soldiers could do other than wait for the situation to change .

Meanwhile in the dark lord's castle… 

"I see . . . Jiezhe has trapped Lie Jian and Michaux in the city? Haha! well done!"Moye was light-hearted after hearing the good news which had become increasingly rare of late . He was also pleased by the intelligence of his servant . Finally, the dark ones had started to learn their lessons .

"I see . . . Jiezhe has trapped Lie Jian and Michaux in the city? Haha! well done!"Moye was light-hearted after hearing the good news which had become increasingly rare of late . He was also pleased by the intelligence of his servant . Finally, the dark ones had started to learn their lessons .

The superiority of the dark ones shouldn't only come from their body, but also their wits . There were many things they still needed to learn, and Moye was confident that the dark ones would be ready to take over the world slowly but surely .  

"My lord, the enemy has about three hundred soldiers, but they are all human elites . Plus, they are hiding inside a large structure so that they can easily defend Jeizhe's attacks . I think we need to weigh in before Jiezhe exhausts his force . He has done a good job in trapping the humans . " Harmon said .

Harmon lived comfortably inside the dark lord's palace as a guest even after the catastrophic defeat . Moye knew that Harmon was not a combat oriented immortal, so the dark lord had kept him close and heeded his advice .

Despite Moye's hatred toward the immortals, he conceded that there were many things that the dark ones could learn from them . When Patroclus created the immortals, the focus was on perfecting the humans physically . However, it was their human mind that had outshone the dark ones .  

Mankind had the tendency of using their strong suit, sharpening their skills in those areas even further . Therefore, a strong man would get stronger, and a smart man smarter; this was the nature of all living beings in the universe .

Thus, a Zerg would be born with superior strength, but when brute strength did not work for them, they also had to learn to flex their brain muscles .

"Take four of my purple guards with you…That should suffice . " Moye nodded .

"Take four of my purple guards with you…That should suffice . " Moye nodded .

"As you wish, my lord . " Harmon stood up and bowed to the dark lord .  
The purple guards were the personal bodyguards of the dark lord . Any one of them would be at level twenty-three or above .  

"Hurry then, before things get out of control!" Moye waved to dismiss the other . He was not all that interested in Lie Jian . His mind was set on only one person: Wang Tong . That person held the key to immortality, and he dreamed of extracting those secrets out one bit of brain matter at a time .

Moye was the only dark one who knew how to find the key by tracing along the connection between Wang Tong and the Blade Warrior . The ability to extract information from a human's mind was dictated by the dark one's level .

In addition, he wanted Michaux dead in order to seek revenge for the injury his predecessor had brought on him .

The source of a dark one's power was in its continual renewal of energy . However, so far, the dark ones were only able to absorb energy from another living creature . What Moye really wanted was to absorb power from the natural force, as a mastery caster would .  

The dark lord had attempted it many times, but failed . Although they possessed a sea of consciousness, it was incompatible with the forces of nature .

It was the desire for the ability to use nature force that spurred the dark lord to transform Patroclus into an immortal . However, he had never thought that his experiment would have grown so powerful that he would threaten his position . He later conceded that he had overlooked Patroclus' ability; within less than a year, the former Ivantian prince had nearly convinced the mother supreme that the immortals were the future of the Zerg race . Although the immortals were difficult to produce, each one of them was a formidable commander on the battlefield . They had transformed the simple-minded primitive Zergs into an army of cunning and shrewd murderous machines . The human soldiers were lucky that they had brought enough energy crystals with them; otherwise, the casters would never have enough energy to deal with this many Zergs .
