Chapter 569: The First Generation Divine Master (2/2)

”Bother Michaux, I have something that I meant to tell you. It might not sound nice to you, but I think I have to say it.” Wang Tong took a sip of tea and then said earnestly.

Michaux paused for a second and then said, ”Do tell.”

”You should be responsible for the current situation on Mars.” Wang Tong said slowly.

Wang Tong's words riled up Susu, who was eavesdropping outside of Michaux's office. She clenched her fist and tried hard to hold back the urge of storming inside and punching Xiao Yuyu's pretty boyfriend in the face. Did Wang Tong know how much her brother had done for the people on Mars? Susu quickly categorized Wang Tong as one of those ”bad people”, perhaps even worse than Zhang Guangming. Why did Xiao Yuyu fall for him?

”I would like to know why,” Michaux asked without any resentment in his voice.

”You failed to unleash the full potential of the Divine Master Sect. It is such a pity.” Wang Tong spoke frankly. He was not here to fawn over the young master; he was here to deliver a warning.

”How so?” Michaux asked calmly. Outside of the door, Susu's face was reddened by anger.

”The sect is a symbol of hope to the Martians. To live up to the expectation, you should strike the Zergs with abandon, as the late Divine Master did. You need to let the humans on Mars know that other than fighting back, they have no other choice.” Wang Tong explained slowly and calmly.

”The members of the sect are stationed everywhere on Mars, risking their lives for the people on Mars. Is that not enough?” Michaux asked.

”No. You can't think only in terms of Mars. The Zergs are also on the Moon and the Earth. When the fire of resistance finally gets put out on those two planets, the Zergs will gather their forces. Do you think Mars will stand a chance by then?”

”Of course not.”

”The moon was already under the total control of Patroclus, and he is not too far from claiming Earth. The humans' last hope is here on Mars. We need to turn the situation around as soon as possible, so that we can rescue our friends and families on Earth and moon one day. I know that you and other factions are planning to fight a prolonged war with the Zergs, but do you really think that that is a smart idea? Even if Mars could be able to survive while on its last leg, do you think the people on Earth and moon would? We are running out of time.” Wang Tong urged assertively, but not in a condescending way.

From the Earthlings' perspective, the reason for the relative peace on Mars was simply because they had kept Patroclus distracted. If the Martians failed to act quickly and do away with the dark lord before he joined forces with Patroclus, all that was left of humanity would be doomed.

Humans should never underestimate the brutality and savagery of their enemy, particularly when the enemy was Patroclus.

So far, the human forces had always been under Moye's mercy. Should the dark lord one day decide to change his mind, the reprieve of the Martians would be gone in a snap of a finger.

Michaux had got the drift of Wang Tong's words; he knew that the latter was right.

”Brother Wang Tong. how dare you open your trap before even realizing what is really going on?” Lie Jian's voice boomed from outside of the room.

Wang Tong was not surprised by Lie Jian's appearance. He didn't travel under disguise, and therefore, he knew he had been followed.

”Come to sit down. Don't be so boorish! Wang Tong is right. The situation is not optimistic at all.” Michaux called out to Lie Jian.

Lie Jian chose a seat across from Wang Tong and sat down. In the five years, his ability grew by leaps and bounds, and so did his confidence and ego. Lie Jian had matured a lot, and the adolescent expression that had been his characteristic feature had disappeared over time.

”Wang Tong, let's focus on the present and talk about our reality here. Both Michaux and I want to know how you will be able to turn the tables around on Mars?”

Lie Jian get right down to the point. Truth be told, although he preferred the slow but steady approach he had been taking, he was not oblivious of the dangers that Wang Tong had brought up. If he could have done something to improve the situation, he would have already. But, there should be a limit. He couldn't blindly send his brothers and sisters to their death.

Wang Tong cracked a smile and then revealed his plan. When he was done, both listeners were shocked.

Susu tired hard to discern the words in Wang Tong's mouth; however, she could not hear a thing. It was as if he had put a muzzle over his mouth.

After a while, Lie Jian smiled candidly. ”Haha! You are truly a fearless SOB! If you can pull it off, I will lead the entire Martian army to join you.”

Wang Tong nodded; his goal had been achieved. He was not the supreme commander of the Martians, and therefore, only in alliance could he be able to leverage the Martians' power.

Lie Jian left the room as soon as they had reached an agreement on their next move. He was neither Wang Tong's enemy nor friend, and therefore, he simply didn't care what other business Wang Tong had with Michaux.

”Brother Wang Tong, the first Divine Master Andres had left a gift for you. I think it is about time to give it to you.” Michaux said as soon as Lie Jian was gone.

”The first Divine Master?”
