644 New Strategy (2/2)

Sensing the danger, the Zerg ships tried to evade, but only half of them were successful. The sudden attack had thrown the Zerg formation into disarray. Seizing the opportunity, Heidi positioned the ship so that Karl could rain devastating fire onto the Zergs.

A few minutes later, the Zerg ships were all but destroyed.

When Wang Tong and Apache went back into the spaceship, they both gave everyone a V sign for their easy victory.

”Let's move!” Wang Tong announced.

”Aye aye, Captain!”

Amidst everyone's laughter, the spaceship traveled toward its destination. After another five hours of traveling, the human warriors finally saw the confederation's armada looming in the distance. On the flagship, Samantha had been waiting impatiently for them for hours.

”Admiral, they are back!” An officer shouted.

Samantha jumped out of her chair and announced, ”Ready for their landing!”

”Roger that!”

The spaceship slowly landed on the docking platform. Tan Bu looked out of the window, and to his dismay, he didn't find any red carpet. Wang Tong walked out of the spacecraft and saw many old and new faces. At last, his gaze rested on Samantha.

”Greetings, Principal.” Wang Tong saluted. Samantha managed to hold back the urge to embrace him as she said. ”Welcome back, Wang Tong.”

Perhaps Wang Tong had heard her wish, so he closed in and hugged Samantha like an old friend.

”Hi, Wang Tong.” Cao Yi spoke.

Wang Tong let go of Samantha and pumped Cao Yi's hand vigorously.

As Wang Tong's new companions walked off the spacecraft, he introduced them to his old friends. With the greetings over, Deep Blue had quickly become the center of everyone's attention. The beast seemed to like it out here as he rolled around on the landing platform and panted heavily from time to time.

”Karl, you as*shole! I was supposed to go, not you!” Cisco complained.

”It's, all the same, isn't it? I saved you a trip…Haha!” Karl laughed.

The Martian and earthling warriors soon hit it off. Many earthling soldiers peered at the Kaedeian warriors; their beauty was irresistible to the young men's eyes.

Heidi didn't mind the ogling; she had already gotten used to it. Samantha assigned everyone their accommodation, and she had to order the soldiers to clear out an unused gym to house Deep Blue due to its size.

When the warriors regathered at the meeting room, Wang Tong was bombarded by questions as the ship crew—most of whom didn't know him—was curious as to how he could have turned the situation on Mars around so quickly. Some even suspected that Moye had not fully recovered when he had to face Wang Tong.

Suddenly, the intercom rang, announcing the visit of two captains: Xiao Se and Li Hong. Samantha nodded and turned on the screen. The screen was split into two down the middle, each side showing one of the two captains. Both of them looked to be in their forties. Lie Hong was a hulking giant with a broad face and a thicket of mustache, while Xiao Se was smaller and thinner in comparison.

”Welcome Wang Tong!” Li Hong's voice boomed.

”Wang Tong had been an academy student when he went missing. I propose to award him the rank of lieutenant, and the Peace Star for his contribution.”

”I second it! I happen to in need of a METAL lieutenant. Might as well assign him to me! Haha! ”
