"Are you all rebelling?" Seeing that the soldiers around him were not moving, Si Ke's face twitched.
"Governor, we all know the general principles, but we really can't take it anymore. I'm not going to be the captain of the Imperial Guards anymore. Even if I have to sacrifice my life today, I will let the Zergs know that we Martians are not cowards!"
"Yes, captain, we will follow you!"
"You, you guys …" Cisco was so angry that his hands were trembling. Jans and a few of the strongest captains of the Black Star Guards took off their badges and slowly put them down. They were really reluctant to part with their badges, but in the future … they might not have the chance to do so again.
The moment they put down their badges, Jans was filled with pride. "Brothers, follow me!"
"Yes, sir!"
The dark golden creature had been killing for a while now, but he had not encountered any decent opponents. Suddenly, he noticed someone not far away and flew over. He landed in front of Jans and the others.
It slowly raised its wings and put on an expression that was supposed to be a 'smile'. Its long and thin tongue circled outside its mouth and said in a high-pitched voice, "I thought that human warriors were all cowards. Tsk, tsk. There are actually a few decent ones here."
The sudden descent of the dark creature scared the people around him. This was the cruelty of the Zergs. This new type of dark creature was very powerful, and it could attack from afar. Of course, the original intention of the Zergs was to collect specimens, and at the same time, to test the combat power of the new dark creature. However, they had unexpectedly destroyed the will of the humans.
Jans' face froze. The last few times this creature came, it did not know how to speak, but now …
"Cut the crap. Take this!"
Jans swung his sword at the dark creature, and the dark creature leaped into the air. "Hehe, human warrior, you are the only one who dares to stand up for me. I will give you a discount. Come at me together."
Boom!
The super prototype Zerg that the dark creature had brought with it also landed on the ground. This Zerg was long and thin, like a giant centipede. However, centipedes were not as powerful as this one. Most places had this kind of Zerg, but the types were different.
This was the scary side effect of the evolution of the Zergs. When a race that could evolve infinitely and become a human, it would learn to evolve on its own!
This Dark Lord Moye was also a terrifying existence. Most of the Dark Ones weren't much of a threat, but these new Dark Ones were.
"Hmph! Since you know what it means to be a warrior, I'll fight you one-on-one! None of you are allowed to interfere!" Jans roared.
"Captain, let's fight this monster one-on-one. Everyone, let's attack together!" The warriors did not agree.
"Shut up! No one is allowed to interfere!" Jans said without turning his head.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, foolish humans. He's trying to save your lives. Why did you only discover my strength now? It's already too late!"
The Dark One laughed maniacally.
Originally, Jans had some hope. He was level 20, and among his six brothers, four of them were level 18 and two of them were level 19. No matter what, he could give it a try. However, after experiencing the gap between them, he knew that his chances were slim.
However, they had to fight. If they wanted to die, one person was enough!
But now that the other party had seen through his intentions, he could only fight to the death. He roared, "Formation!"
The Dark One was quite arrogant, to the point where he could ignore the Dark One's presence. A virtual screen appeared in the vision of the Dark One, and the human warriors' data was reflected on it.
They were no match for the Dark One at all. It had to extract genes and research tactics. Of course, it couldn't ignore its hobbies.
When the Dark One's figure disappeared, Jans knew that the situation was not good. Just as he was about to warn the Dark One, he heard two screams behind him. Two level 18 warriors had been pierced through the heart before their METAL suits could do anything.
Jans roared as he charged forward. The dark ones took the two humans with them and flew into the sky. The giant centipede Zerg did not seem to have any intention of helping them. It continued to destroy the buildings around it. The sight of the humans fleeing in all directions was quite amusing to the Zerg. Occasionally, some of the humans would try to fight back, but that was all it took to scratch its itch.
"Stupid, stupid!" Si Ke stomped his feet in anger. Although Jans was a straightforward person, he had spent a lot of effort to train them. If he gave them away like this, his status would drop. In this day and age, a city lord's status was determined by the number of experts under his control.
It was obvious that this dark one was trying to kill Jans. Because of the difference in levels, a Level-19 Warrior could still fight together, but a Level-18 Warrior would be a huge obstacle. However, it was already too late for him to run away. This dark one was trying to provoke the emotions of the humans.
Kill them all!
Five or six minutes later, Jans' comrade-in-arms died just like that. Jans felt like he was going to explode.
"Bastard, if you have the guts, don't run around like a bug. Fight me!"
The other two level 19 warriors had learned their lesson and formed a triangular formation with Jans. They didn't dare to fall behind. If they pulled away, the Dark One would launch a fierce attack.
"Dagger, Great Spear, hold on. Don't be rash. This bastard wants to anger us and kill us one by one. Don't fall for it!"
"Boss, Little Three and the others are all dead. I'm so angry!"
"Hold on, hold on. Otherwise, the three of us will have to pay the price. It's a small matter if we die, but we can't ruin the Martians' reputation!"
Jans, who was the strongest among them, quickly felt that something was wrong. He had underestimated the Dark One. They didn't just evolve into a human form, nor did they only learn the extravagant habits of humans. They had also improved a lot in terms of tactics. For example, the Dark One in front of them was a slender one. Originally, a level 18 warrior wouldn't be much of a threat, but by killing a few weaker ones, they would be able to make the stronger ones lose their balance.
"Although this guy's attack power is higher than ours and it's faster, its defense is weaker. Everyone, hold on. Don't dodge its attack.
After all, Jans was a level 20 warrior. After a few rounds of fighting, he discovered the special characteristics of the Dark One in front of him. The strength of these super Dark Ones was different. The one in front of them was also at the legendary level, but it was more focused on attack and speed.
While the dark ones were conducting their experiments, they had also collected information on the unique traits of the dark ones. There were those that focused on strength, those that focused on speed, and those that focused on strategy and strategy. The Zerg's methods were truly dazzling. Humans were overwhelmed by the sheer number of moves that the Zergs had made.
The Dark One in front of them had a terrifying learning ability. It was obvious that it was focused on speed and intelligence. The Dark Ones were the same as humans. Aside from the royals, these Dark Ones were mostly weapons, so it was impossible for them to be well-versed in every aspect.
If they were strong in every aspect, then they would be the Dark King's right-hand man.
The blood of his brother cleared Jans' mind. This Dark One was too cunning. It was purposely agitating them so that it could end the battle without bloodshed.
Bang! Bang!
Sparks flew in all directions, and the three of them stumbled back a few steps. This dark one's attack power was truly frightening, and it was almost impossible to even touch him.
"Boss, I'll lure it down. If this goes on, we'll be dead sooner or later," Dagger said. At that moment, Jans managed to block one of the Dark One's bone spikes. The sword in his hand shook violently, and the super armor on his body glowed brightly.
"Let me do it!" Great Spear said. Luring the Dark One meant gambling with their lives. This Dark One was extremely cunning, and it would not leave any openings. Only when it was about to kill would there be a gap.
"You two can't lock it down. Let me do it!"
As he spoke, Jans charged forward. An opportunity suddenly appeared in the triangular formation. This Dark was very patient, but he wasn't willing to let go of any opportunity.
It charged at Jans, but Jans did not dodge. He opened his chest and concentrated all his strength on the sword in his hand.
But just as he was about to fight to the death with the dark ones, the giant Zerg suddenly shot a bolt of lightning at him, disrupting his plan.
Shing …
Dagger was caught. Although a level 19 warrior was very strong, he could not even block a single attack from a Dark One that was two levels higher than him.
The Dark One's intelligence was extraordinary. It seemed that the giant Zerg was not participating in the battle, but it suddenly attacked at the critical moment.
The bone spike pierced through Dagger's shoulder blade. The Dark One did not attack immediately. Instead, he hovered in the air. "Hehehe, I heard that humans have feelings. I wonder if it's true. Human, are you willing to exchange your life for his?"
The Dark One hovered in the air, his voice echoing throughout the city.
"Boss … Don't worry about me. Kill this son of a bitch." Dagger's shoulder blade was pierced, so he could not use his GN force.
Great Spear gripped his spear tightly. "Boss!"
Unlike Great Spear, Jans was calm. "What do you want?"
"Is my human language not good enough? How about you exchange your arm for his?"
A playful smile appeared on the Dark One's face again. The intelligent Dark One was much more terrifying than the destructive ones.
People poked their heads out and watched the battle from afar. Everyone knew that negotiating with the Dark One was like asking a tiger for its skin, so they all wanted to kill.
But the man who had been captured by the dark races was Jans' brother. How could he just watch his brother die in front of him?
Suddenly, there was a scream. Great Spear had killed himself, but a bone spike had pierced through his neck and completely paralyzed him. The pain was no different from hell.
Blood-curdling screams resounded throughout the city. Everyone felt their bodies go numb as they watched the bone spikes pierce into them. It was as if the spikes were stabbing into their own bodies.
Great Spear's eyes bulged, and his body trembled. The pain was beyond his willpower.
Then, the Dark One snapped Dagger's left hand like a stick. The crisp cracking sound sent chills down everyone's spine.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that the so-called feelings of humans are fake. Now it's the right hand."
With that, the huge claw grabbed Dagger's right hand, but this time Jans did not hesitate. He punched his right arm, and with a crack, his right arm was hammered down.
"Let him go!" Jans roared. Life and death was a small matter. This despicable insect wanted to completely crush the courage of humans.
"Oh, not bad. Next is the left leg!"
"Boss, you can't! You can't trust an insect!" Great Spear quickly hugged Jans.
"Move!" Jans pushed the great spear away and said to the sky, "Listen up, everyone in Apollo City. Today, Dagger, my brothers, and I have fallen here, but we humans are still standing. The courage and unity of us humans is something that these reptiles will never understand. I may be dead, but my son and my brothers are still alive. Even if only one of us is left, the battle will never stop!"
Then he punched his own leg. From beginning to end, Jans didn't even frown.
Hearing Jans' voice, the dark one's pupils shrank. Clearly, his goal had failed. Killing a few humans was useless. What he wanted was to make the humans cower.
His strongest opponent had lost an arm and a leg, so there was no need to fight anymore. If he couldn't make them cower, then he would make them feel fear.
The dark one suddenly retracted his bone spear. Old Spear's head fell to the ground. If he hit the ground, his brain would definitely explode.
Great Spear wanted to save him, but the dark one was already ahead of him. He was the only one left with the ability to fight.
Everyone covered their eyes. Even the iron-blooded Jans closed his eyes at this moment. It was his fault. It wasn't his fault for fighting, but for bringing Dagger and the others along!
Boom …
There was a loud explosion. Even the strongest Jans wasn't a match for this Dark One, let alone the Great Spear. However, the one who was sent flying was the Dark One.
In just a moment, this figure had sent the dark one flying and saved Old Spear.
The dark one's eyes flickered. There was a string of numbers in his eyes. According to these numbers, this human was very weak. But in reality, this was impossible.
Einherjar!
"Einherjar, it's the Einherjar! It's really the Einherjar!"
"It's the Einherjar, the mysterious Einherjar!"
…
Einherjar … Jans looked at the Einherjar in the sky. He wasn't surprised. Instead, he let out a sigh of relief. Finally, a human was willing to stand up for him. He was only a level 20 warrior, so this was the best he could do.
"Kekeke, Einherjar, very good. Finally, a good one!" The dark one didn't attack immediately. Instead, he stalled for time. At this time, the giant Zerg had already flown up and landed at the dark one's feet.
The Einherjar looked at the dark one indifferently, as if he was trying to see through it. The dark one felt like he was being disintegrated. He wanted to do something, but he couldn't. Suddenly, the Zerg under his feet shot out countless bolts of lightning. At the same time, the dark one attacked the Einherjar, one big and one small.
The attack exploded, but it missed, leaving only an afterimage in the air.
The giant Zerg was blasted away by the force of the blast. The dark one dodged the attack and ran towards the original Zerg.
The original Zerg was strong enough to resist the Einherjar's attack. The dark one didn't attack. Instead, he kept his distance.
"Human, give up resisting, or I will kill everyone in this building!" Under the feet of the dark ones and the giant Zergs was a tall building. There were many people hiding under the building, and it was too late for them to run now. The giant Zergs had hundreds of electric balls on their claws, ready to destroy the building at any moment.
The dark one was using the same trick again. They were intelligent creatures, and it was their natural instinct to use all kinds of tricks.
Seeing that the Einherjar didn't respond, the dark one couldn't help but feel a little smug. This was a big fish, and he might even be praised by the Dark King.
But at that moment, the Einherjar pulled out a golden sword. It didn't look like he was going to give in.
The dark one didn't waste any more time. The giant Zerg beneath him fired all of the electric balls at the building. Many people started running out of the building, but not all of them were good fighters. Given the range of the electric balls, it was likely that they would be hit by the shockwaves.
Even if they were going to die, they had to complete their mission. That was the instinct of the dark one. He had attacked together with the original Zerg, and the Einherjar was responsible for the deaths of these people.
Boom!
The heavens shook and the earth quaked. Everyone's hearts turned cold. It was over.
…
The dark one was shaken, but it didn't seem to be falling.
The dark one was shocked. All of the attacks had been blocked by a golden shield, and he knew that the Einherjar's energy level was very high.
Intelligent Zergs had one trick up their sleeves, and that was to run!
The prototypes of the Zergs rushed forward to provide cover for the dark ones. The Einherjar, who had just blocked the attack, slashed out with his sword, piercing through the prototypes of the Zergs and heading straight for the dark ones.
The Dark One didn't even hesitate to flee. He was very confident in his own speed.
He could have dodged the attack with a flying sword, but … Whoosh!
The dark one's body froze. He had clearly dodged the attack …
Boom!
The giant Zerg's body fell to the ground, followed by the dark one's. Some of the more courageous ones rushed out and started worshipping the Einherjar in the sky.
Not long after, the silent street began to fill up with people, followed by loud cheers.
People worshipped the strong, the Einherjar, the invincible Einherjar.
It was as if they had forgotten about the brave warriors who had just fought. Did glory only belong to the victors?
Great Spear supported Jans. In just a short while, out of the brothers who had gone through life and death with him, four had died, one was completely crippled, and he was better off dead than alive.
This was the duty of a warrior. A man should die on the battlefield. But under the cheers, it was a bit too bleak …
Looking at the lifeless Dagger lying on the ground, this kind of injury couldn't be cured. Even if he was alive, he would be a vegetable, completely disabled. Under the current conditions, it was impossible for him to survive. Dragging it out day by day was another day of pain.
"Great Spear, send your brother off," Jans said calmly.
Great Spear gritted his teeth. His hands had never trembled before, but now they were trembling uncontrollably. "Dagger, I'll apologize to you when we get down there."
This kind of pain and struggle was the true courage and emotion of a human. It was something that no other creature could understand.
With a muffled roar, the spear stabbed down.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky and directly blasted the spear. The spear was forcibly bounced out of the way.
Only then did the cheering people remember that other than the Battle God in the sky, they still had their own heroes. In an instant, when they saw the crippled Jans, the grief-stricken Great Spear, and the warrior who had lost his life … their cheers seemed too …
The crowd's excitement suddenly disappeared. This scene had shocked everyone.
Great Spear stared at the Einherjar in the sky angrily. "Who do you think you are? What's so great about the Einherjar? If you had come earlier, would our brothers have died?"
"Great Spear." Jans wanted to stop him.
"Boss, let me tell you, why are the dark races wreaking havoc? Where are the Einherjars? Are so many legendary warriors useless? My brother is finished. I want to kill him with my own hands. Why, why, why!"
Great Spear's tears flowed down his face. He did not have the courage to do it again. He really did not have the courage to do it again.
"Great Spear, shut up. He is the only Einherjar who is willing to stand up!"
Jans said.
"Boss, I … know, but Dagger …"
Death was not the scariest thing. The scariest thing was living a life worse than death, just like Dagger.
The Einherjar in the sky opened his arms and seemed to be chanting something. Then, a white light fell from the sky and covered the three of them. Jans was the first to react. He could feel his arms and legs!
Soon, Great Spear noticed it too. "Boss, your legs …"
Dagger, who was on the ground, suddenly jumped up and spat out a mouthful of black blood. Then, he let out a sigh of relief. "You killed me."
The white light lasted for a full ten minutes. The last white light was concentrated on Dagger's body. Tens of thousands of people witnessed this moment. No one said a word. They were hoping for a miracle, but was it possible?
The white light gradually disappeared from Dagger's body. Everyone's eyes were focused on him … Was it possible???
No one knew if their prayers worked, but Dagger actually sat up. At this moment, no one could suppress their excitement.
Great Spear knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times without any hesitation. His forehead was bleeding from the kowtow.
As long as he could save his brother, he would do anything!
A miracle, a miracle had reappeared on Mars!
This time, the mysterious Einherjar did not disappear immediately. The golden sword slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of Jans. A deep and majestic voice sounded.
"In the name of the God of War, I bestow upon you the title of Knight of Blood!"
Jans looked at the golden sword with a solemn expression. He glanced at Dagger and slowly held the golden sword. The light instantly disappeared.
Jans raised the sword in his hand. What he received was a thunderous cheer. He was no longer a member of the Imperial Guards. He had a new identity.
A human Knight of Blood!
In this chaotic era, humans needed the spirit of chivalry!
Seeing this scene, the fat mayor's face turned ugly. When he saw the support of the people, his trembling flesh twisted together.
What Jans had done and what the mayor had done at the critical moment was clear to everyone, especially Jans' position in the military.
Humans really did not lack combat power. Sometimes, they just needed courage.
Looking at the admiration on the faces of the guards around him, the fat mayor knew that his life as a mayor was coming to an end.
