Chapter 523: The Zergs' Surprise Attack
Translator: Oneshotwonder Editor: Hitesh_

"Very well, Captain Tong! Please tell us what it is that you want in exchange for the spell." Xiao Yuyu plastered a smile on her face.

Wang Tong marveled at his luck for meeting the chief medic, who was able to appreciate the power of the spell.

"Chief, what we want is simple; we want to be the leader of the Maersa district." Wang Tong announced with candor and confidence.

"Captain Tong, the Sect cannot dictate the power dynamic of regional factions… You know that." Ye Zi shot back at him.

"Of course, I do. But, if the sect can lend us fifty mastery casters to aid us in our siege on the City of Maersa, Battle Wolf should be able to establish authority after taking the city. After the siege, it will be up to the casters to choose between staying at Battle Wolf or returning the Sect."

Xiao Yuyu was at a loss, since the demand went very much against the grain of Guan Dongyang's character. He had been a proud young warlord who would turn down reinforcements even if they were free.

"What level of casters does Guan Dongyang want? I can't guarantee high-level casters."

"We will accept anyone who is higher than level twelve. However, they needed to be members of the Sect who have a solid foundation and sound understanding of the Mastery."

"No problem! What else?"

"Nothing... except that in order to learn the Divine Light, the Sect field medics will have to come to Battle Wolf."

Wang Tong finally spoke his real demand: to have the field medic working in Battle Wolf for free during their training.

Xiao Yuyu was quick to see through Wang Tong's ruse, so she piped up, "This spell is only level seventeen. I think sending one level eighteen medic should suffice."

Wang Tong rose to the comment, "Ye Zi, please explain the inner workings of the spell to Chief. Let's see if she can understand it only through words." Wang Tong was not simply full of himself; his confidence came from the genuine difficulties in learning the Divine Light. A certain connection needed to be built prior to casting the spell, a process which Wang Tong called "bridging." Without it, it was almost impossible even to comprehend the divine light. The bridging was difficult to do by oneself, and Wang Tong had helped both Guan Dongyang and Ye Zi to establish the connections.

After Ye Zi explained the spell, Xiao Yuyu felt that the spell was not difficult to understand at all. However, it wasn't until she tried to cast the spell herself that she realized that her understanding was off by a long chalk.

"The element is off. Something is just not right." Xiao Yuyu furrowed her brows and complained.

"Hehe… You need to come to the Battle Wolf, and we will help you with the bridging process. Only then you will be able to understand the spell fully. Captain Guan had invented this spell after he got the inspiration from the gods."

"Let me think about it. Is there anything else you want?" Xiao Yuyu asked; something told her that Wang Tong wanted more.

"Nothing else. Oh…We are putting a few items on auction tonight, I believe you will be interested in one or two of them. Why don't you come and take a look?" Wang Tong said with a smirk before he started out. Ye Zi was left there to catch up with her old friend.

Wang Tong stepped out of the meeting room and saw Duo Lun and Tan Bu standing by the entrance, faces red like boiled lobsters. Wang Tong knew they had a spar with Veronus, and it didn't go very well for them.

"What's up with that face?" Wang Tong couldn't help a chuckle.

Tan Bu and Duo Lun didn't reply; they kept their silence while keeping their heads low.

"The two young fellows are very well trained. I don't think I can find anyone who is stronger than them at their age." Vorenus said.

"Haha… That is very nice of you to say. Let's go; we need to prepare."

"Yes."

Veronus wanted to test the strength of Wang Tong, but seeing that the latter was occupied with other businesses, he gave up the plan.

After sparring with the two young warriors, he was shocked to find out that Battle Wolf was no longer a mastery focused band. Although the two young soldiers were of low levels, they possessed keen intuition during combat. If every METAL warrior in the battle was as powerful as them, Veronus wagered that it would soon become one of the most powerful war-bands on Mars.

Wang Tong ordered Lun Duo and Tan Bu to find Syracuse and inform him that Xiao Yuyu would attend tonight's auction. Meanwhile, he planned to create a few more spell crystals.

Suddenly, the sirens went off in the city. Enemies were at the gate!

A dark shadow appeared in the sky and then fire rained down from above onto the city.

"Kill, kill, kill! Hahaha!" Hysterical laughter could be heard amidst the chaos.

The Zergs were attacking the city!

A group of the METAL warrior had already charged towards the Zergs. However, they were caught right in the middle of the firestorm and were reduced to ashes in a blink.

Zergs suddenly appeared on the streets of the Jade City, terrorizing the defenseless citizens. No one knew how or when they crossed the energy barrier.

"Lord Sanders, what is happening?" Xiao Yuyu stormed into Sander's office and questioned him.

Sanders remained calm and replied, "Please don't worry. I believe those were just Zergs' scouting party. Somehow, they managed to sneak into the city. They will be dealt with quickly."

Xiao Yuyu heaved a sigh of relief, but she cast an accusatory glance at Sanders and chastised the city lord, "How could you let the Zergs sneak into the city, and why didn't you notice it earlier? You need to protect your people!"

"These are a new breed of flying Zergs. We can't do anything about it."

"My lord, the two...two squadrons." A soldier stumbled into the room, mumbling.

"What about the two squadrons?"

"All dead."

"Bullsh*t! Kay is a level nineteen warrior! This cannot happen!

"My lord, that monster is nothing like we have ever seen before!"

"F*ck off! Tell them to dispatch our air units, NOW!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"I am going to see this monster for myself. Please let me know if you need any help." Xiao Yuyu announced. She couldn't just sit and watch the city get burned down.

"Please."

When Xiao Yuyu arrived at the streets, she found herself surrounded by fire and chaos. A monster hovered in the air, spitting venomous fire down at the soldiers who were struggling to keep alive.

"High-level dark one! " Veronus gasped.

"What do you think is his level?" Xiao Yuyu asked.

"At least level nineteen. Should we help them? " Veronus asked.

Sanders waved in dismissal and said, "No need to dirty your hand, lord Veronus. We can handle it ourselves."

A dozen or so jet fighters appeared at the other end of the horizon, and were fast approaching the monstrosity. From a distance, the jets struck the dark one with missiles.

"KOMM!" The strikes hit home.

As a dozen jets rumbled across the sky, the humans on the ground cheered for their success.

The leader of the air unit paged the control, "Control, control, mission completed, over."

"Congratulations…Watch out! Over."

"KOM!"

A jet was cut in half in the air. The dark one was still alive, and it caught up with another jet and sliced it with the sharp tip of its wing; the jet fell to the ground and exploded. The dark one swiped his tail and destroyed another three jets in one hit. In a blink, the entire air unit was destroyed.

Sanders did not flinch, as if he had been expecting such defeat.

Suddenly, a two meters wide laser beam blasted at the dark one and landed squarely on its head.

"Kom!"

"It's all over now, Chief Medic. You can rest well tonight." Sanders turned to Xiao Yuyu and remarked with a lewd smile.

"I am afraid it isn't," Veronus said with a cold voice.

The monster remained in the air; the laser blast seemed to have been deflected by its thick hide.

The monster threw back its head and shrieked, then rained death from above the city. In a blink, the entire city was ablaze with deadly fire.
