Amidst the golden light emitted by the lance, the soldiers found a new strength and courage; and with that, they charged out of their covers toward their enemies.
At the front of the line was Wang Tong, Yin Tianzong, Vorenus, Guan Dongyang, and Xiao Yuyu, plunging deep into the Zergs like spearheads. Under Wang Tong's protection, the warriors lashed out at the Zergs, unloading their vindictiveness and hatred. On the other side, the Zergs panicked and scattered, only to be trampled by their own kind.
Even as the Zergs pulled out of the city, new battle cries rang from outside the city wall—the Flame Squad had arrived. This was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The entire Zerg army, including the dark ones and their primitive cousins, fell into a disarray and fled. The Flame Squad was praised for its ferociousness during battle. They dove headlong into the retreating band of Zergs and started killing.
As more dark ones followed Kun's footstep to the underworld, the Zerg army crumble in an instant. The Zerg reinforcement never arrived as they were tied up in the battle with the human resistance on their way to the city.
When the sun finally reached its zenith, the humans had retaken the city of Maersa. As the last group of Zergs retreated into the woods, everyone was too exhausted to chase after them; they simply watched them run away in disarray.
With their remaining strength, the soldiers and the civilians cheered. They had done the impossible and liberated the city of Maersa.
Wang Tong spotted the back of the last dark one and threw his spear to kill it instantly. When the Einherjar Lance flew itself back into his hand, everyone cheered in a frenzy. The humans had finally found the leader who could lead them out of their misery.
The soldiers of Battle Wolf were overspent and needed immediate rest, so it was up to the Flame Squad to clean up the battlefield. The scene on the battlefield reflected the most brutal battle that mankind had ever fought. However, it didn't scare Bu Zhihuo, who was prepared to die on the battlefield with Battle Wolf. Wang Tong was convinced that not all resistance groups were full of cravens when he searched for brave warriors, and he finally found what he was looking for in Bu Zhihuo and his band.
However dangerous this operation sounded, Wang Tong would never blindly send his friends to their deaths. He had calculated the odds over and over again, weighing his options and meticulously planning every single detail of the operation.
A calm sea would never develop good sailors; a little bit of struggle and discomfort would help to toughen up the human forces. After the battle, everyone felt that they had learned something significant from their struggle.
The news of victory spread quickly all over the district. It was exciting news to everyone on mars, regardless of their history with Battle Wolf.
Marcos was a shrewd tactician; while Battle Wolf was risking their lives inside the city, he and his soldiers watched the battle unfold. Only when he sensed the promise of victory did he order his soldiers to charge at the fleeing Zergs.
When the news of the victory finally reached him, he felt a mixture of admiration and jealousy. He never thought that Wang Tong and Guan Dongyang would make it, yet they had proven him wrong again.
”Haha! These guys are the toughest SOBs I have ever met!” Aamir slammed the commander's desk with a heavy fist.
”Touché! Who would have thought that they could have done the impossible! Well done, Guan Dongyang!” Hans said with glee.
”Haha! Hans, I don't think it has anything to do with Guan Dongyang. It must be Wang Tong!”
”Wang Tong? Oh... Isn't he…” At that moment, Han suddenly remembered something, an old name that had been long forgotten by the people.
