Zhang Jing might have thought that her near escapes were due to his luck, but little did she know that her old friend had planned every single move of hers, including her escape. Not long ago, the Immortal army encircled Li Ruoer's camp, baiting other factions to come for rescue. Knowing that it was a trap, no one moved their forces; however, the human forces could not afford to lose another beacon of hope.
The rescuing duty finally landed on the shoulders of Zhang Jing, just like Patroclus had planned.
As soon as Zhang Jing's reinforcements arrived, the encircling Zergs created an opening for the human forces to escape.
The miraculous escape rendered Li Ruoer speechless. Still bewildered, she said, "Thank you, sister Zhang."
Zhang Jing cracked a smile. "No worries! We are a family. However, I am afraid that I have used up my chances, and there will be nothing that can stop him from now on."
"That's not true. Zhou Sis is still alive and well. I don't think Patroclus could do anything to her." Li Ruoer replied.
Zhang Jing shook her head and lamented how naive Li Ruoer was. Zhou Sisi had known too much, and therefore, Patroclus would not leave her alive for too long.
Meanwhile on Mars, Wang Tong and his new "cabinet" gathered together in the meeting hall. Many issues had surfaced ever since he took control of Maersa, a great number of them even catching him by surprise. These problems, such as the refugees, provisions, and logistics, were reasons why the old fox Marcos had not demanded immediate control of the city.
That being said, Wang Tong had enough resources to handle any crisis that would rise. Yi Tianzong was mainly in charge of organizing and training the newly formed Battle Wolf, along with the additions from the Flame Squad. However, the situation outside the training camp worried him. Despite the many hot messes Wang Tong needed to take care of, Yin Tianzong was surprised to see that he was still full of confidence and assuredness.
Although the Super Healing spell was a tough nut to crack, Xiao Yuyu was confident that she could master it. She and Vorenus stayed with the Battle Wolf as they were instructed. Even without the orders from the young master, Wang Tong's insistent request for her to stay would have swayed her to do so.
Wang Tong and Battle Wolf were in dire need of talents, and therefore, he would not let Xiao Yuyu leave without trying to persuade her to stay. Yin Tianzong, Guan Dongyang, and Xiao Yuyu had quickly become a synonym of the city. They were the reason that people kept on pouring into the city, as the public believed that the combined strength of a Legendary Warrior, a high-level Mastery caster, and a Medic Chief would provide them safety.
At the meeting, Hamir tabled a long list of problems that Battle Wolf was facing. Although Hamir was of average talent as a mastery caster, he was exceptionally good at management and administrative matters. With the help of Ye Zi, Hamir was able to prevent many would-be crises from happening.
When the group had made decisions on all the issues that Hamir had brought up, Wang Tong gave Bu Zhihuo a glance. Although Bu Zhihuo was relatively new in the group, Wang Tong had welcomed him like an old friend. It was evident that Bu Zhihuo was not at all interested in any of the administrative issues. As a warrior, his thoughts went to strengthening the forces in Maersa district and delivering a killing blow to the remaining Zergs in the district.
Everyone agreed that Hamir had the right idea, but things were easier said than done. The first step in strengthening Battle Wolf's military might was recruiting, and that needed money…a lot of money. So far, other than the luxury items that the dark ones had left the city, Battle Wolf was not able to scrap a penny from the city. Although there had been soldiers coming to join Battle Wolf of late, they did it because of the fame of warriors such as Yin Tianzong. Battle Wolf seemed to have a promising future for them, but so far, they had only been given empty promises without real incentives.
Even with the addition of the Flame Squad, Battle Wolf had just over two thousand members, a pathetic number compared to any other equally famous warbands. In addition, its main competitors, Blizzard and Thunder Fire's ranks had continued to swell. If this trend continued, even the fame of Yin Tianzong and Xiao Yuyu would not be able to revert the downfall of Battle Wolf.
However powerful Yin Tianzong was, he was the special weapon of the band, and his power was not limitless. The deciding factor of the band's overall strength was in the boots on the ground. Everyone knew that the current status quo could only last very briefly. Should all the independent forces in the city decide to band together to challenge Battle Wolf, they would have no other option but to give up. On the other hand, defeating the Zergs could not be achieved without a sense of unity, and therefore, it was impossible to drive the other factions out of the city at the cost of the ultimate goal.
Everyone sensed that the power balance inside the city was very fragile, but they had faith in Wang Tong to untangle the knots that had kept the human factions from forming a united front.
"I appreciate your concern, but I would like to make a note that it is not the size of the band that matters, but the quality. We have two thousand men, and in my opinion, this is more than enough to deter the first comeback wave of the Zergs." Wang Tong remarked confidently.
Wang Tong's words shocked everyone at the meeting. Reports coming in from all directions said that the Zergs were amassing an army of a size that had never been seen before. Why did Wang Tong think that merely two thousand soldiers were enough to defend against such a massive wave of attack?
"Brother Bu, how many levels nineteen warriors do you have in your squad? And how many more level twenty warriors besides you yourself?"
"There are fifteen nineteen level nineteen warriors and two more level twenty warriors in addition to me. "
Wang Tong nodded and then said, "Among the Templars, there are five who are level twenty and twenty who are level nineteen. Although we don't have that number for Mastery casters, we do have Guan Dongyang and Xiao Yuyu, both of whom are level nineteen. In addition, Ye Zi and the other seventeen mastery casters are level seventeen. These are the elite core of our force. Despite its small number, we should have time to expand the army before the Zergs come. They are still recovering from a huge blow dealt by Lie Jian. Hamir, don't you worry about the expansion of the other factions. They are not so foolish as to gang on us yet."
Wang Tong's words eased the nerves of many warriors. They knew that their leader already had a plan.
"Hey Wang Tong, haven't you forgotten about me?" Lie Xuan shouted.
Meanwhile, she winked at Guan Dongyang; the two never shied away from public affection.
Wang Tong didn't mind including Lie Xuan in his plan, but he had decided to wait before she came forward by herself. Despite her connection with House Lie, Wang Tong was confident that she would be a loyal member once she had made her intention clear.
"Let's assign the work to the chosen staff and make sure everything is ready in two weeks. I will be away for a few days, and you can talk to Hamir while I am gone."
"Wait, Captain! I am afraid I won't be able to handle it. " Hamir was startled by the announcement.
"Don't worry, you can do it! As for the others, make sure the soldiers are not slacking during their training. Don't be cheap on supplies…Make sure the soldiers have proper care. As for the infighting among other factions, leave them be. "
"Young master, will I be accompanying you on your trip?" Yin Tianzong asked.
"Hehe, of course. You have reached a bottleneck at level twenty one, so it's about time for you to advance further." Wang Tong remarked nonchalantly,
but everyone felt the weight in his words. Once a warrior achieved the legendary level, advancing further was almost impossible. Yin Tianzong had been stuck at level twenty one for five years, so would Wang Tong really be able to help him surpass himself?
Xiao Yuyu and Vorenus exchanged a shocked glance. They were not sure what Wang Tong was going to do as they had never heard of such a bold claim even in the Divine Mastery Sect.
Vorenus had been stuck at level twenty for years, and he would give anything to realize the dream of his life: becoming a legendary warrior.
If Wang Tong were able to bring Yin Tianzong to the next level, what could he do to him?
Vorenus's question was shared with everyone at the meeting. Although what Wang Tong was planning to achieve sounded impossible, everyone believed that he could do it.
They looked at him with admiration, but he didn't say a word.
Unlike the other bands inside the City, Battle Wolf was quiet. Their mediocre benefits and wages had deterred many capable warriors from joining them. Meanwhile, the ranks of other factions quickly swelled. At this point, it was hard to tell that Battle Wolf was the actual owner of the City.
