Chapter 545: Overbearing Impression

Translator: OneshotwonderEditor: Hitesh_

Another thing that had confused Syracuse was the ability of the legendary warrior to attract such a large number of Zergs by himself. Syracuse doubted that even the most powerful human warrior was not able to stir up that much interest in the Zergs. There had to be someone else there with the legendary warrior…Was it Xiao Yuyu? Yes, it had to be her.

A legendary warrior and the chief medic from the Sect ought to be able to lure the entire Zerg army out of the city. The businessman's instinct of his told him that there was more than what met the eyes. Battle Wolf had to be somehow related to the Divine Mastery Sect in one way or another.

Anyway, regardless of the Battle Wolf's relation with the Sect, their victory had earned everyone's respect; therefore, Syracuse decided to increase the client relationship budget which he planned to spend on them.

Once the resistance forces at the Maersa district heard about the news, they sent out their scouts to learn more about the current situation inside the city. None of the resistance groups were in a hurry to move their troops into the city, since the remaining Zergs could come back at any time.

Unlike everyone's expectations of the heroes that conquered the city to be drinking and celebrating, warriors of Battle Wolf spent the victory night in quietness. Overspent and exhausted, everyone fell asleep as soon as they finished dinner, and a few moments after that, the camp was filled with the soft snores. Although Vorenus was a high-level warrior, the intense battle had taken a toll on his vigor as well. Even then, he found it hard to believe that a second-class war band such as Battle Wolf could have possessed such discipline and professionalism that was unrivaled by even the most well organized and funded military units.

The strength of an army came from its soldiers' will, and such strength could only be tested during the time of extreme hardship. Battle Wolf had passed the test. Brave, courageous, and disciplined, these were the words used to describe an elite militia group such as the units from the Divine Mastery Sect. They were well trained, and fueled by an unswerving faith toward the Sect. But, what about the Battle Wolf? What made them so special?

Watching the tired faces around him, Vorenus heaved a long sigh of relief. This was the most intense battle that the chief medic had ever participated. But, no matter how exhausted she was, she didn't let the fatigue show up on her face. As the leader of the field medics, she needed to constantly wear the mask of calmness and serenity, regardless of the situation. Sometimes, the mask got too heavy, and she just wanted to wrench it off her face, but she couldn't. She represented the Sect, the last beacon of hope for the human on the Mars.

Some might blame her for the reckless act of charging into the front line, but she did it anyway, and she had never felt better for herself. This was the first time after she had become the chief medic that she was able to do what she wanted, and earned the respect of others from her actions rather than the Sect's overshadowing reputation.

”Wang Tong...” He was THE Wang Tong, and now everyone knew about it.

Being one of the caucus members within the Divine Mastery Sect, Vorenus had heard of the name many times. Compared to the young boy who had shocked the Confederation five years ago, Wang Tong had changed a lot. He was no longer a boy, but a man. Not only had he put one some muscles in the five years, but his mind had also matured, which made him much wiser than before.

It was needless to say that Wang Tong's reappearance was great news to the human resistance forces. However, exposing himself so soon was not a good idea for his safety. What would House Lie think of Wang Tong's return?

House Lie and the Divine Mastery Sect were long-term allies. Even during such reduced circumstances, the two great power still found a way to co-exist peacefully. But, the same could not be said about the relationship between Wang Tong and House Lie.

If it were anyone else, House Lie might be able to tolerate his or her existence. However, Wang Tong was not just anybody: he was the only person who had defeated Patroclus, and the heir of the Blade Warrior. Therefore, he had to be taken down if House Lie ever wanted to claim dominance over Mars. Wang Tong only had a small number of soldiers under his command; if he were to be in charge of a full-fledged war band, he might have already killed the dark lord by then.

Vorenus reflected on the battle, and he noticed that the seemingly reckless operation was carefully planned and orchestrated. The situation might have seemed perilous, but everything was under Wang Tong's control.

…

Meanwhile, Wang Tong and Yin Tianzong stood on the top floor of a skyscraper and scanned the streets below them. Just as Vorenus had suspected, Wang Tong had taken everything into consideration; he even meticulously calculated the time it would take for him to get to the city. The time he had spent with Charcoal outside Maersa city wall was not wasted, since he had collected enough data to estimate his travel time accurately. That being said, Wang Tong could not foresee everything, and the success was also due to the bravery and mettle of his warriors, particularly that of Xiao Yuyu and Yin Tianzong. Without these two powerful fighters stretching themselves to the limits during the most critical moment of the battle, Wang Tong's plan would have failed.

The Templars had used their blood to prove to the public that they could still believe in the Court. Meanwhile, Wang Tong's astonishing display of power had greatly impressed these proud and haughty warriors. Before the battle, they only followed Yin Tianzong's order. But now, they all considered Wang Tong to be their true leader.

Standing beside Wang Tong, Yin Tianzong was finally content. He knew that he could, at last, take a rest from the role as the Templars' leader, since Wang Tong was much more competent in that role than him. He was convinced that Wang Tong would lead them to the Templars' final destination: their home on earth.
