During those five years, Wang Tong had not only improved his strength, but he had also improved his strategy. This was the most important part of Li Feng's training. What Wang Tong had to do was much harder than what Li Feng had done in the past. Back then, Li Feng had used the influence of the Blade Warrior, and there were no powerful forces that could compete with him. However, things were different now. The Five Great Houses had deep roots, and Wang Tong didn't have the resources he had back then. His enemies were not only external but also internal.
Patroclus was also a lot more difficult to deal with than Zerg.
Without proper preparation, Wang Tong would find that every step he took was extremely difficult, as if everyone was against him.
However, it was a different story for someone who was prepared. From the beginning, when it came to dealing with Saxe's Thunderfire Orb, to dealing with his relationship with the Sage Sect, and even his relationship with Lie Jian, it was a true art.
If he made a mistake, the situation on Mars would be completely different. Perhaps Wang Tong would still be able to take over the leadership of Mars, but the strength of Mars itself would be greatly damaged.
Destroy anyone who opposed you, and that would be the end of you.
Enemies and competitors must be differentiated. If you were an enemy, you would not be lenient.
This kind of mastery was something that could only be understood but not expressed.
The three of them spent the whole night talking to Wang Tong. Karl and Apache didn't stop to explain the situation of the Space Fleet, Earth, and the Moon to Wang Tong in detail. Of course, they also told Wang Tong about their friends.
Knock knock …
Someone knocked on the door, and Ye Zi walked in. She smiled and said, "It's time for breakfast. Wang Tong, have you confirmed the number of people? We are all waiting."
"Wow! What's your name? Are you married?" Karl asked with a smile.
"Colonel Karl, are earthlings as straightforward as you?"
"How do you know my name?"
"Who doesn't know the famous Karl the Space Wolf?" Ye Zi smiled.
"Haha! I guess there is still a market for me." Karl looked at Apache and said proudly.
Apache shrugged. He was already used to this guy's narcissism in life.
"This is Ye Zi, one of the top medical officers of the Sect of Divine Masters."
Wang Tong introduced.
At the mention of the Great Medical Officer, Karl immediately retracted his arrogance. The Four Great Medical Officers of the Sage Sect were famous all over the world. The young beauty in front of him was a Legendary Realm Arcanist. She could burn Karl with just a spark.
Karl had his own principles when it came to choosing women. Firstly, they had to be beautiful, and secondly, they had to be unable to defeat him!
Otherwise, if they quarreled and got beaten up by the woman, where would the space wolf put its face?
"Let's go and have breakfast. I want to introduce some new friends to you. Karl said that the dark races are still keeping a tight watch on the outer space. Even if we can distract them, we won't be able to use battleships that are too big. So, we can only bring a dozen people with us. Also, most of the battles we'll be fighting in space.
"I must go." Ye Zi did not care about anything else.
"No problem, no problem."
Most of the time, Ye Zi was a gentle person. However, Wang Tong couldn't do anything when she was determined to solve a problem. Besides, a legendary level medical officer and a legendary level arcanist was a must no matter where he went.
Ye Zi gave Wang Tong a gentle smile. As long as Wang Tong was willing to let her stay by his side, she wouldn't care about anything else.
Karl and Apache were warmly welcomed by the crowd. Everyone knew that only a handful of people would be able to follow Wang Tong into space.
Karl and Apache were also stunned. Apache had just reached Level-21 and was already one of the top experts in the space fleet. However, there were many Legendary Realm experts here, including many Legendary Arcanists.
Carl, on the other hand, saw a lot of beautiful women. He even saw his idol. Carl's idol was obviously the most beautiful of all beautiful women, the number one beauty, Princess Heidi.
Perhaps it was because Karl was Wang Tong's best friend, Heidi gave Karl a warm smile, which made Karl dizzy.
Breakfast had turned into a morning meeting, and the atmosphere was lively. However, when they heard that only a dozen people would be able to follow Wang Tong into space, everyone was anxious to know who would be able to go with him.
Everyone began to think.
It was indeed a difficult problem.
"Wang Tong, we have a new type of stealth battleship, the Queen X-335 series. It can accommodate thirty people at the same time, and it has the latest stealth function. If there is a space fleet, I can pilot this battleship and we will be able to return safely."
Heidi said.
"Oh, can we make it in time?" Wang Tong asked. He knew that the Kaedeians were experts in space.
"Yes, we have arrived." Heidi smiled faintly. Apparently, Princess Heidi had already prepared herself for Wang Tong's trip to Outer Space.
"Boss, you have to take me with you!"
"Come on, I'd rather take you with me than you!"
…
Wang Tong had no choice but to stop the rowdy crowd. "Quiet down, everyone. The name list will be announced in the afternoon. Don't argue, and those who stay, please be prepared!"
After breakfast, Wang Tong began to worry about the name list. Karl and Apache couldn't give him too much advice. The Queen X-335 series was the best spaceship on Mars, and it was also the most advanced spaceship of the Kaedeian Royal Family.
Including Heidi, Wang Tong would still need three more crew members, leaving twenty-six crew members in total. However, Wang Tong still had to bring Indigo with him. Although Indigo was as important as ten crew members, Wang Tong still decided to bring her along. That way, there would still be thirteen crew members left, excluding Wang Tong, Karl, and Apache.
It was indeed a headache for Wang Tong.
Yin Tian Zong would be staying on Mars, and he would be able to play a bigger role in space battles. Even though the strength of an Einherjar was important, there were still other aspects that were more important.
Although advancing into outer space was important, they couldn't put the cart before the horse. Mars was the key as it was the backline of mankind. In the future, all resources would have to come from Mars, which was of utmost importance. The Hidden Heaven Sect could also mobilize the Saint Church's strength that had been left on Mars all these years. At this time, these energy nets were even more important.
Xiao Yuyu, Ye Zi, Wu Ling, and Linda were the four medical officers.
Guan Dongyang was an Arcana Master. Normal Arcana Masters wouldn't be able to adapt to space, but Guan Dongyang was a special case.
Erenas, Tan Bu, Lun Duo, and Lie Xuan were the eight warriors that Wang Tong had come up with.
Bu Zhihuo didn't go as well, as he knew that he would be more useful on Mars. Most of the warriors that followed Wang Tong were strong, but they didn't have many duties.
For example, Xiao Libie would be more useful in the Martian Confederation.
That was why Wang Tong was in a dilemma. He had to choose the strongest warriors, and at the same time, he had to preserve the strength of the Martian Confederation.
But overall, no one had anything to say. Tan Bu and Duo Lun heard that they had been selected and didn't care about anything else.
Wang Tong also contacted Michaux. Odin, Michaux, and Guan Dongyang were extremely powerful in space. Space was a nightmare for most Arcanists, but for the three of them, it was a world of pure energy. The only downside was that they had to be extremely precise in terms of control, so they couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
However, Michaux couldn't leave with Wang Tong as soon as possible since he still had to deal with the affairs of the Sect of Divine Masters. Nevertheless, Michaux had told Wang Tong that he would finish the affairs of the Sect of Divine Masters as soon as possible. His presence would be of great help to Wang Tong, and the cooperation between Michaux and Wang Tong would be smooth sailing. Meanwhile, Michaux was also very willing to fight alongside Wang Tong, as this was exactly what he wanted. On the one hand, he would be able to make use of his strength, and on the other hand, he would be able to advance toward the Path of Heaven. As for the command of the army of the Sect of Divine Masters, it was the best choice since Michaux was never a qualified military strategist.
On the third night of the meeting, everyone piloted the small Queen X-335 spaceship and took off. At the same time, in space, Samantha organized an attack. Of course, it was all bark and no bite. The most important thing was to scare the Zergs.
Karl was very interested in the huge Deepblue, and Deepblue was a little unhappy with the small space. As for the spaceship, it didn't have any feelings.
"Boss, this guy doesn't get seasick! Can I touch him?"
"You can try if you are not afraid of being eaten by him." Wang Tong cracked a smile.
Wang Tong decided to relax and enjoy the short trip to space. He was surprised that Heidi was such a good pilot. As a Kaedeian princess, she was not only beautiful, but she also had to be the best in all aspects. Wang Tong had heard that the princess training program was very scary.
Passing through the clouds, the spaceship sped towards the sky. The shuttle's speed was astonishing. Seeing that Deep Blue wasn't cooperating, Karl quickly turned his attention to the spaceship. He was an absolute fan of spaceships, and it didn't take him more than ten minutes to figure out how to use the spaceship. While he was chattering away, the others were on standby, ready to fight at any time.
Everything went smoothly before they left the atmosphere, but soon, an alarm sounded on the monitor. Even though the Queen X-335 had a stealth function, it wasn't perfect. If the enemy was prepared for it, it would be hard for them to avoid detection.
It was unknown whether the Zergs were too lucky or they were too unlucky. Just as they were about to leave the atmosphere, the Zergs' attack team appeared on the screen.
"Can we get out of here?"
If they could avoid a battle, they would try their best to get out of here.
"No problem!"
Heidi nodded and said, "Get ready, it's going to be a little bumpy."
Wang Tong nodded and relayed the order to Deep Blue. Immediately, Deep Blue stuck to the wall of the cabin. Deep Blue didn't have acrophobia, and it was eager to explore the new environment. Wang Tong suspected that Deep Blue had acquired the ability to fight in outer space, and even if it didn't, it would be able to evolve in no time.
"Let me help you fight." Karl's hands were itching.
"Sure."
Before the enemy's attack arrived, the Queen X-335 space shuttle suddenly accelerated, activating the Level Two Propulsion. In an instant, it accelerated into space. The Zerg's troops chased closely behind, shooting beams after beams of light at the space shuttle. This kind of change had only appeared in recent years. In the past, the Zerg did not fight like this. It could only be said that Patroclus's betrayal had brought about too many changes to the Zerg, making it very difficult for the humans.
"Evasive Maneuver!"
Heidi ordered calmly, and the Queen X-335 began to spin at a high speed, dodging the Zerg's attack while maintaining its speed.
The three Kaedeians that Heidi had brought with her were her personal guards. They were the best of the best, and they didn't even flinch in the face of the Zerg's relentless attacks.
The Zergs were making a lot of noise, and Wang Tong noticed that the number of Zergs on the monitor was increasing. He knew that the Zergs must have figured out where Wang Tong and the others were coming from. Samantha's attack had sent a signal to the Zergs that the dark ones were waiting for them. However, the Zergs had no idea where Wang Tong and the others would come from.
It took Wang Tong five hours to get out of the Confederation Headquarters. They left under the cover of the night and managed to avoid the Zerg's main fleet. Samantha's forces were limited, and it was impossible for her to attract all of the Zerg's fleets.
"Everyone, sit tight!"
If it had been a slightly larger spaceship, it would have been shot down by now. However, Heidi's piloting skills were on full display. Initially, Wang Tong had planned to fight her, but Heidi managed to escape from the encirclement by relying on her superb piloting skills. Wang Tong was prepared to fight, but Heidi managed to escape before the encirclement was formed.
Duo Lun's face was pale, but Tan Bu was still humming a song in excitement. Xiao Yuyu and the others didn't look too good either, as they were still not used to the feeling of weightlessness.
"Damn, don't tell me you are seasick."
"Bullsh * t! You are seasick! Your whole family is seasick!" Duo Lun gritted his teeth. He would rather go out and fight, but he didn't like the feeling of being spun around.
Tan Bu was overjoyed, as he loved the feeling of being spun around.
Deep Blue, on the other hand, was glued to the splint. It didn't care about the spinning.
Whoosh …
Accompanied by a roar from behind, the spaceship rushed out. However, the Zergs were still chasing after it. They were the fastest spaceships of the Zergs.
"Let's fly for a bit and kill them. We can't afford to expose our location." Karl said.
They had agreed on a rendezvous point, but they couldn't bring the Zerg with them.
"Leave it to me. There should be Space Armors here, right?"
The Space Armor was similar to a Mech Warrior, but its main purpose was to provide mobility. The GN Force of the METAL Warrior was responsible for all the attacks.
"Yes!"
"Let's go!" Tan Bu volunteered.
