"What did you just say?" Aamir couldn't believe his ears.
"It's true. Yin Tianzong and the rest of the Battle Wolves are gone. Did they just disappear into thin air?"
"How is that even possible? Maersa is only a small city, and there are so many of them. Where could they have gone?"
Aamir took a puff of his cigar, wondering what Wang Tong was up to. Ever since Wang Tong conquered Maersa City, no one had dared to underestimate him, especially Aamir and Marcos. Both of them were eager to find out what he was up to.
Marcos was even more confused than Aamir. He had no idea what Wang Tong was up to. The Battle Wolves' recent actions had defied common sense, to the point of stupidity. Now that they had conquered Maersa, they had to seize the opportunity to expand their influence, or else they wouldn't have the chance to do so in the future. The Battle Wolves' status would have been even worse if Bu Zhihuo hadn't joined them. However, the fact that Bu Zhihuo had done something like that proved that he was a simple-minded man. The Flame Unit was supposed to be the most powerful unit in the Maersa region, but Bu Zhihuo didn't have the brains to run a business. Even though his men were strong and united, they weren't strong enough to fight well.
The Battle Wolves' control over Maersa would only get weaker and weaker.
"What the hell is Wang Tong up to this time?" Marcos thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out what Wang Tong was up to this time.
Li Xiu was Marcos's top advisor, and he was the first one to notice the Battle Wolves' strange behavior. "Wang Tong must be up to something big, but I'm sure it's not against us."
"What do you mean?"
"Captain, to put it bluntly, Wang Tong's heart is in the right place, and he won't do anything against us. The Zergs are preparing for a counterattack. Wang Tong's identity might not be a big deal to us, but his influence among the Zergs is huge. If I were Dark Lord Moye, I would use Wang Tong's head to prove myself. Wang Tong is the Great Demon Lord Patroclus's only mistake.
Li Xiu said. Although he wasn't very powerful, he had a better grasp of the bigger picture than most people.
Marcos furrowed his brows and said, "So, we are going to be caught in the crossfire."
"I don't know where Wang Tong has sent the elites of the Battle Wolves to, but I am sure that he doesn't care about the fight in Maersa."
Marcos took a sip of tea. He used Li Xiu because this kid was cunning and accurate. "Are you saying that he wants to settle the score after the fall?"
"Hehe, Captain, it's not always the case. But we need to strengthen ourselves. As for what Wang Tong is up to, let's wait and see."
Li Xiu wasn't sure what would make the elites of the Battle Wolves disappear all of a sudden. More importantly, he didn't know what was going to happen.
Assassinations? Too many of them?
Annihilation? That's not necessary.
While the other factions were fighting over the Battle Wolf Regiment, the Battle Wolf Regiment was still training step by step. They did not show any signs of impatience. Needless to say, the original members of the Battle Wolf Regiment had merged with the Flame Armed Forces and were an extremely disciplined army. As for the new recruits, they definitely did not join the Battle Wolf Regiment for the treatment. They would not be able to obtain any benefits from the Battle Wolf Regiment. As long as they had a good attitude, they would not have any problems training.
Wang Tong was still there. Expansion was necessary, but not now. This way, he would be able to see who was willing to join him.
"Brother Wang, you really don't show your true colors. I've misjudged you." Syracuse's image smiled.
"You are too kind. I was just lucky." Wang Tong replied politely.
Syracuse then said, "Brother Wang, I am afraid you have something to discuss with me."
"Hehe, as you know, we've taken Maersa for the time being. The city is full of bugs' eggs, and there's nothing valuable in it. But the dark ones left behind some luxurious items. Do you think we can trade them for some equipment?"
Wang Tong asked. In times of war, there was still a market for luxury items. However, it would take a lot of time to sell them, and that was exactly what Syracuse wanted.
Syracuse looked a little embarrassed. "Brother Wang, you know it's hard to sell these things in these times."
Wang Tong knew that the man was just putting on a show. "Of course, I won't do it for nothing. The Zergs are coming for us at any time, and we need weapons to defend the city. If we lose the city, everything will be for naught. But if we can defend Maersa, you will be the only one who can sell the arcane crystals to us."
"Alright, Brother Wang, I will take the bet!"
Of course, Syracuse knew that he could sell those luxury items, but it would take some time to sell them. Also, Wang Tong was in dire need of weapons and equipment. To be honest, other than the cities and the top factions, there was no one else who could offer them. Syracuse was Wang Tong's only hope.
Even if Wang Tong were to die, he would still be able to afford the loss. However, if Wang Tong were to win, his auction house would be able to take care of him in Maersa City.
Of course, the mayor of a second-tier city didn't mean much to him. What mattered was that this man was called Wang Tong.
Hamir and Syracuse continued to discuss the details. Businessmen were cunning, but Wang Tong didn't have that kind of network yet. Syracuse was the only clue he could rely on. The most important thing was to get through the current crisis.
Patroclus had done many things five years ago, and Wang Tong was just getting started.
The projection turned off, and Charcoal appeared. "How's it going?"
"Everything is fine."
"Hehe, it's worth it to use the energy I have accumulated for five years here."
Wang Tong nodded. In order to establish a foothold on Mars, the first step was to build his own base of operations. Although Maersa was not a big city, it was good enough for the time being. However, having a base of operations was not enough for Wang Tong. Even Patroclus was surrounded by powerful fighters, so Wang Tong had to be stronger than the Yin Tian Sect. Wang Tong knew that Maersa would be destroyed if the Zergs attacked.
Maersa might still have a chance if Wang Tong wasn't there. However, Wang Tong's presence was enough to stop the Zergs from coming.
The reason why they were slow was because they weren't in a hurry. No matter where he was, they would still come for him. However, if he were to hide, then he would be useless. What he needed to do now was to ignite the souls of the Martian warriors. A vagrant Wang Tong was nothing to him.
"Beep beep beep beep …"
"Master, something's up."
"Let's see." Wang Tong snapped out of his thoughts and opened up a holographic image of Mars in front of Charcoal.
"Apollo, one thousand two hundred and ten kilometers away from Maersa."
The holographic image was highlighted and turned into a red orb.
Meanwhile, Apollo was in a state of chaos.
"Governor, let me bring my men and f * ck them up. The dark ones have gone too far!"
The governor crossed his legs and said, "Are you out of your mind? If the House of Lie doesn't care, why should I be the governor? You have to understand that these dark ones are here to steal the DNA of the elites. If I were to fight them, I would be considered as a traitor to mankind. Tell the citizens to hide, and the dark ones will leave after a while."
Si Ke was very satisfied with his current life. Apollo City was in the rear, while the Lie family and the Sage Sect were in the front. He was enjoying his life as a city lord. His battles were all small-scale, and he was able to expand his authority. Over the past five years, Si Ke had grown by 25 kilograms, but he had been a little annoyed lately. Ever since the dark race, which was as powerful as a legendary level master, had appeared, it had been a headache for him. However, the headache would only last for a while. If the Lie family ordered him to fight back with all his might, it would be a real headache. Si Ke had heard that some cities had managed to get the help of legendary level masters to repel the dark race, which in turn attracted even more dark race members. Since the Lie family didn't order him to stop, and the dark race was only causing some minor damage to the city, they would return to the city out of boredom. Si Ke didn't have to worry about his own safety, so he decided to turn a blind eye to the big picture. Naturally, some people would spread the word that this was all for the sake of the war.
Of course, the warriors had their complaints. Si Ke wasn't an idiot either. He knew that he couldn't disappoint his subordinates. "Jans, do you think that I'm not angry? I'm not anxious, but we don't have a Martial God. If you guys go, you'll just be throwing your lives away. How can I just watch as you guys throw your lives away? “
Jans was a level 20 warrior, and he had followed Si Ke for many years. Si Ke was not like this in the past, but in the past few years, the man he had followed had changed … His courage and boldness had completely disappeared.
"Governor, I am willing to fight with you. I will die with no regrets. We humans cannot allow these insects to be so arrogant!" Jans bowed and said.
"Governor, we are willing to follow Captain Jans into battle. We will die with no regrets!"
The city guards behind Jans bowed in unison. They were all level 18 or 19 warriors, and they were infuriated by the Dark Ones. They were safe in the city, but the Dark Ones could easily kill or injure a few hundred people in the city. Where could they hide?
Hundreds of people would affect hundreds of families. As soldiers, it was fine if they could not see it, but it was happening right in front of them. How could they just stand by and watch?
Jans could not stand it anymore.
Slap!
"Jans, are you the City Lord or am I the City Lord? You have to think about the big picture. Can you beat that dark one? If you die and your genes are taken away, can you bear the consequences? Big picture, don't you understand? You will be imprisoned for three days!"
Si Ke slammed the table and stood up angrily.
