”A*sholes, they are A*SHOLES!” Ross shouted.
Despite the urgency, Guan Dongyang didn't seem too worried. He would have been stressed out if he got the news a year ago. However, now that he had Wang Tong, he could afford to stay calm.
”Wang Tong, what do you think of this?”
”Easy… If they really want to come, let them come. We will make sure that they don't return.”
Silence fell into the meeting room. Not even Lie Xuan could have made such a bold statement. Wang Tong's words sounded more like Ross's rant.
”Wang Tong, you know that we are much smaller than those two bands combined. Why don't you think about the bigger picture?” Lie Xuan rose against Wang Tong's plan.
Wang Tong stood up and said, ”So tell me, what is the bigger picture? Is it being pushed around by bullies? Regardless of our strength, we always have only two options: stand up for ourselves or continue being bullied.”
”That's fine, but the Battle Wolf is still too weak to fight back.” Lie Xuan shot back.
”I disagree! As a matter of fact, Guan Dongyang and I had been talking about moving against the Zergs, and Captain Marcos has kindly provided us an opportunity to test our strength.” Wang Tong said as he cracked a smile that showed his confidence.
No one understood where his confidence came from though.
Guan Dongyang remained clam. He knew Wang Tong had spoken the truth. With the increased power and their familiarity with the complex terrain around the camp, defeating Thunder Fire was not impossible.
Ye Zi wanted to put her two cents in, but she thought that since both Wang Tong and Guan Dongyang had already made up their minds, there was no point in saying anything. She reckoned that Marcos' move was courting death, since he had set himself up as the enemy of two of the most powerful men on Mars.
”Hehe, I agree with Wang Tong. We can't make others think that we are weak. I believe that this battle will be the one that will help us establish our dominance in Maersa district.” Guan Dongyang announced with conviction in his voice.
Hamir still thought it was a bad idea to fight the enemy head-on. He grinned and lamented the fact that ever since Wang Tong arrived in the Battle Wolf, Guan Dongyang agreed with everything he said, even if he was going to put the Battle Wolf on a suicidal mission.
Lie Xuan was an outsider, so she spoke no more and let the Battle Wolf sort it out by themselves.
”Boss, you finally said it! I have been waiting for you to make this decision. The Battle Wolf is ready for combat; no one will waver in front of our enemy! ” Ross shouted. No one was surprised by his words, since fighting was the only solution that Ross knew to all problems.
Both Tan Bu and Duo Lun were Wang Tong's die-hard supporters, and therefore, they unequivocally supported his decision.
”Hehe… Lieutenant Ross, we will fight them for sure. But, the method will need more discussion. Our enemy not only has the advantage in numbers, but also their equipment.” Wang Tong said.
”Even if we wanted to retreat, we would have nowhere to go. Therefore, fighting is our only option! We will teach the Thunder Fire a lesson.” Someone chimed in.
Hamir furrowed his brows; he was convinced that without the aid of House Lie, Battle Wolf was doomed. However, he also saw the sense in Wang Tong's suggestion. If Battle Wolf kept on avoiding conflicts, it would never be able to establish itself among other resistant factions.
