w.a.n.g Tong heaved a sigh . Xiao Yuyu and Ye Zi were different from Heidi, since they had been through so many things together that the thought of leaving them filled him with sorrow . He would be lying if he said that he didn't have any feelings for those two medics . However, neither of them had ever taken the initiative to tell him how they felt for him . If the Martian girls couldn't bring themselves to do that, it was even less likely for w.a.n.g Tong .  

"You like them . " Brenda caught the flash of pain in w.a.n.g Tong's eyes, her voice laced with jealousy which even caught herself by surprise . She had just met w.a.n.g Tong, so her feeling toward him was nothing more than infatuation . The thought of how little she knew about w.a.n.g Tong was a wake-up call for her . She regretted not meeting him before Xiao Yuyu and Ye Zi .

"Well, I'm sure it will sort out in the end . I have heard you are working at the command center, eh?" w.a.n.g Tong diverted the topic .

Brenda was offended by w.a.n.g Tong's question as she shot him an accusatory glance and then said, "Why? Don't you think I deserve the position? I am graduated from an Cla.s.s academy on Mars . I am not a hero like you, but I do my part in this war . "

"Ok, ok . . . I was just asking . " w.a.n.g Tong knew better to not argue with a girl .  

"Whatever . You were talking to my dad about harnessing the power in nature…What was that all about?" Brenda had a sharp mind, and she knew that she should learn as much as she could from w.a.n.g Tong while he was still on Mars .

"It's about creation . " w.a.n.g Tong answered readily .

Brenda pressed her lips on w.a.n.g Tong's cheek and said, "This is for all the girls on Mars . "

w.a.n.g Tong was taken aback by the sudden change of topic . The smell of the lipstick made her take a deep breath unconsciously .

"That's my first kiss . " Before she finished her words, she flitted away like a little bird . w.a.n.g Tong rubbed his cheek where he was kissed and smiled wryly .

…

Meanwhile, a group of warriors arrived at the command center and demanded to see w.a.n.g Tong . They were w.a.n.g Tong's comrades from City of Maersa, including Aamir and Marcos .  

As soon as w.a.n.g Tong saw them, the warriors embraced each other emotionally . It was hard to believe that just a year ago, these two men were w.a.n.g Tong's rivals .

"Haha, you did it! We knew you could!"

"Hehe…How are things at Maersa?"

"Things are looking up . But, it is Maersa no more . It's called Wusunaer now . It's a Martian word for "Place of the War G.o.d . " Marcos announced .

w.a.n.g Tong smiled slyly and then remarked, "What a pretty name . "

"We changed the name to attract more young people, and it worked . Wusunaer has become the number one destination for the War G.o.d's followers to live and work . " Aamir said and gave w.a.n.g Tong a wistful smile . He missed those days when he worked with w.a.n.g Tong and Battle Wolf . He felt lucky to have made the right decision of supporting the other, and wondered where he would have been if he had chosen the other route . h.e.l.l, maybe?

"How is w.a.n.g Tung's research?"

"Dr . Frankenstein had made the city his home . He built a research team that is the best on Mars . He has a message for you too, saying he would soon make a breakthrough in the application of the technology in s.p.a.ce travel, and when that happens, he would be able to bring you a brand new state-of-the-art fleet . " Marcos said . Wusunaer had become one of the most important cities on Mars . It not only hosted the most advanced scientific research team, but was also the home place of w.a.n.g Tong .  

Although there were a lot of cities waiting to be rebuilt, the life in the human territory had mostly returned to normal . In addition, the humans on Mars had never been so united in solidarity before .  

"When are you leaving w.a.n.g Tong? I hope you will come back and visit us once you are done your business on the Earth . " Marcos said .

"Yeah, the city of Wusunaer always welcomes you," Aamir added .  

w.a.n.g Tong nodded "I will be back . " He had many good memories here on Mars, so he would definitely come back and visit the beautiful planet once his mission was over .  

Aamir and Marcos didn't come alone, as they had also brought over twenty thousand soldiers to join the Martian united front's ranks . They had recruited these men from major cities as well as other factions that hadn't fully committed to the war for the concern of their own safety . With the dark lord's death, the threat was gone . So, more and more cities sent out their defense forces to join Zambrotta and House Lie in the fight against the Zergs .  

Aamir and Marcos didn't come alone, as they had also brought over twenty thousand soldiers to join the Martian united front's ranks .

So, more and more cities sent out their defense forces to join Zambrotta and House Lie in the fight against the Zergs .  

After meeting with Aamir and Marcos, w.a.n.g Tong returned to his dorm, noticing that Mr . Wannabe had disappeared .  

As w.a.n.g Tong reflected on Mr . Wannabe's achievement, he marveled at the old pirate king's astute methods . Once he had donned the mask of the War G.o.d, he had quickly transformed his disguise into a soft power to motivate the soldiers around him . It only took him weeks to form the Order of the War G.o.d's Knight . The Knights of the order were well known, not only for their fearlessness and mettle during battles, but also their incredible ability to use double GN force .  

w.a.n.g Tong really wished that he could take the direwolves with him, since these beastly companions were extremely useful during small-scale skirmishes . However, that would mean that the two hundred riders would have to follow him to the earth as well . Plus, in order to fit that many people, they would have to board a mid-size transport s.h.i.+p that lacked stealth capabilities, increasing the risk of being intercepted by the Zergs . In the end, w.a.n.g Tong decided to give up that idea and face the new difficulties with new weapons .  

The envoy from the Confederation s.p.a.ce force had finally arrived .  

When the representatives met w.a.n.g Tong, they smiled at each other like old friends .  

It had been five years, and even Karl looked a lot different .  He was trying to hold back his tears but failed . Apache cast him a glance and smiled wryly . Samantha had ordered him to stay on the s.h.i.+p, but he had broken the order and sneaked onto Apache's s.h.i.+p .

Apache's face had one addition scar, but other than that, he looked pretty much the same as five years ago .

"w.a.n.g Tong, tell us everything…We are very curious!" Apache asked .  

"Yes, boss! Things are looking pretty good here, but on Earth . . . " Karl said with a big frown . w.a.n.g Tong's lips curved into a thin smile . "I have been trying to break the bottleneck in my cultivation . Otherwise, I wouldn't stand a chance before Patroclus . I have been late…I am sorry . "

"I have seen your fight against Moye…It was amazing!" Karl's fist pumped the air as he shouted at the top of his lungs .  

"Moye is nothing . Wait until you see the battle between Patroclus and me . By the way, are you still this childish?"

"Haha…Don't worry! Karl only acts like this when he is not in a battle . Once in a s.p.a.ce fleet battle, he is calmer than a cat . " Apache remarked .  

"You don't say! I have quite a reputation on my s.h.i.+p, especially among the girls . " Karl said readily .

"You don't say! I have quite a reputation on my s.h.i.+p, especially among the girls . " Karl said readily .

"Apache, are you sure? Look at him! I bet he is still a virgin . " w.a.n.g Tong jested .  

Karl blushed and waved his arms . "No, no, Apache, don't answer him!"

Apache ignored him and replied: "I have heard he is seeing someone from the third fleet . But, I don't know if they are actually dating . Karl usually makes things sound more serious than they really are . " 

"Awe…I hate you Apache! By the way . I am not a virgin since a long time . "

"How long?"

"Since last month!"

The room was quickly filled with snickers and laughter . At first, Karl was taken aback by people's reactions, but then he started laughing with the others .  

"Jokes aside, what is your plan, w.a.n.g Tong? The situation on the Earth is . . . beyond bad . "

"We need to act fast, but first things first, we need an able fleet . "

"I agree! Our s.h.i.+ps are so run down we can barely sustain one more attack . " Karl complained .

"We don't lack talented officers, thanks to Samantha, but we don't have enough battles.h.i.+ps to counter the Zergs' presence . Hopefully, things will start change after the Mars is finally liberated . " Apache said .

"That will only be a matter of time . House Lie and the Sect had been preparing for the final attack for a while now . However, I fear that the Immortals would not just sit around and let humans reclaim Mars . "

"Patroclus is not the actual ruler of Zergs . It is their mother supreme . With Moye's death, she might feel threatened by Patroclus, since she no longer has Moye to keep him in check . I wonder if the queen would allow Patroclus to extend his reach to Mars . "

"Patroclus is not the actual ruler of Zergs . It is their mother supreme . With Moye's death, she might feel threatened by Patroclus, since she no longer has Moye to keep him in check . I wonder if the queen would allow Patroclus to extend his reach to Mars . "

"We can't count on their squabbles . I think out priority should be strengthening our own fleet using the disorganized Zerg fleet around Mars . "

"Using them as practice target?"

"That's the plan . However, we need to be vigilant against Patroclus' actions . We can't afford to fight at both fronts . "

w.a.n.g Tong was not entirely sure what the Zergs' next move would be . However, he reckoned that his first task should be rebuilding a capable fleet so that he could return to Earth safely .  

"I will introduce my companions to you tomorrow, and we better start plotting our routes now . "

Apache didn't reply, dragging out the silence . Karl finally broke the spell and urged Apache, "Come on! Spit it out!"

w.a.n.g Tong furrowed his brows and asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Well, it's complicated . Although Samantha is the official admiral, the captains had divided into three factions . Don't be surprised to hear unwelcoming voices when you get there . "

"Oh? Like what?"

"Our faction is the biggest one out of the three, and we control the same amount of s.h.i.+ps as the other two combined . The leader of one faction is called Xiao Se, and he used to work for the chief councilor . The other faction belongs to house House Li, and their leader is a house member named Li Hong . Those two factions used to be rivals, but they are now partners because neither of them like the way Samantha handles things . " Apache said .  

Although w.a.n.g Tong was a powerful warrior, to those faction leaders, he was a soldier, and not a leader . Therefore, they would not willingly hand over their s.h.i.+ps to him .

w.a.n.g Tong smiled broadly and was scarcely concerned by the warning . "Thanks for the heads up! I am sure we'll figure it out . " 

"I told you, boss wouldn't mind these trivial matters . Haven't you seen how c.o.c.ky Lie Jian used to be? Now, even he has to work for the boss! Don't worry Apache, Boss will teach them some lessons . "

w.a.n.g Tong heaved a sigh . Xiao Yuyu and Ye Zi were different from Heidi, since they had been through so many things together that the thought of leaving them filled him with sorrow . He would be lying if he said that he didnt have any feelings for those two medics . However, neither of them had ever taken the initiative to tell him how they felt for him .
