Chapter 644: New Strategy

Apache announced with a serious tone. Although these warriors were legendary level warriors, they were not used to fighting in space.

“Your job today is to observe. Apache and I will take care of these Zergs.”

“Thank you, Boss.”

Apache studied the Kaedeian’s space METAL carefully and realized how similar it was to the Ivantian’s METAL suits. They used to both boast the finest quality of METAL suits, but now, only Kaedeian suits could be found in the human world. This piece of METAL had all the bells and whistles on it; Apache reckoned that it was a very solid piece of armor.

“What about you Wang Tong?” Apache asked.

“I am fine…Don’t need those.” Wang Tong shook his head.

Apache didn’t ask any questions. He knew that the super Einherjars wouldn’t need such protection; their understanding of the universe was drastically different than a normal warrior.

The thought of fighting alongside Wang Tong gave Apache a sudden rush of blood. He wondered what kind of spectacular display of power he might see.

The spaceship darted out of Mars’ outer space and charged toward Saturn’s asteroid belt. It was an ideal location for space METAL fights.

Unaware that it was a trap, the Zergs followed the X-355 closely.

“Five seconds before hyperspace…Four, three, two, one…”

A white flash broke the dark space as the spaceship entered hyperspace, and the Zergs quickly followed suit. With the technology they had stolen from the Ivantians, the Zergs also possessed the ability to maneuver inside the hyperspace.

“Five minutes before we leave the hyperspace…Please be ready.” Heidi’s calm and firm voice drifted out of the intercom. The warped space and time continuum somehow didn’t distort the Kaedeian Princess’s musical voice. The Kaedeians were a space-faring race, and therefore, Heidi was unfazed by the routine of entering and exiting hyperspaces.

Wang Tong could feel the agitation in Deep Blue; however, he wagered that these Zergs would be too weak of an opponent for Deep Blue. As the countdown for exiting the hyperspace started, the warriors saw a bright light at the end of the hyperspace corridor. And before they knew it, they were out of the hyperspace and landing right in the middle of the asteroid belt.

Heidi opened the shipping gate as Wang Tong donned the Einherjar Armor. Apache and Wang Tong jumped out of the ship while Carl readied the ship’s weapon system, aiming directly at the hyperspace corridor.

As soon as he saw the Zerg ships appearing through the threshold, he pulled the trigger and bombarded them all.

The Zergs’ traveled in a column formation, so as soon as the cannon fodder at the front took the hits, the battleships at the back spread out and around the human ship.

Heidi was unflinching despite the Zerg ships crawling all over the radar. Her nerves were steely while her mind was as sharp as a knife. As her fingers danced over the control board, multiple weapons fired at the same time and set half a dozen Zerg ships on fire.

Apache and Wang Tong threw themselves at the Zerg formation. Sensing the incoming human soldiers, the space kamikaze Zergs swarmed at them, seeing which, Apache sped up and lured the swarm of suicidal Zergs away. The Zergs’ battleship possessed no real advantages over the human counterpart in terms of weapon power. However, the Zergs had a nearly unlimited supply of kamikaze Zergs, which posed a serious threat to the human fleet.

However, it was evident that the space kamikaze Zergs were not nearly as agile and powerful as their cousins on the ground. Hence, Apache was able to finish them off with ease.

However, by the time Apache had finished clearing the way for X-355, the rest of the Zerg fleets had arrived and encircled the humans.

Karl looked like entirely a different person as soon as he entered the battle mode. His eyes glinted as he focused on the radar. Heidi had some doubts about the power of this human captain; however, the cockpit was short staffed due to the limited space abroad. Therefore, she accepted Karl’s helping hand. But, it didn’t take long before Karl’s fluent skills and unrivaled talent started to impress Heidi; he was better than the best pilot she had ever seen. Therefore, she made a mental note to review the humans’ space-faring capabilities thoroughly when this was all over.

Suddenly, a flash of intense light broke out at one comer of the vast battleground. Flames poured out of Wang Tong’s body, attracting the Zergs to throw themselves at him like moths at a flame. But, before these Zergs were able to get near, they were shot down by the angry flames.

KOM!

Over a dozen beams of fire lanced out with Wang Tong as the center, writhing across space like fire drakes and plunging into the remaining Zerg ships.

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! ”
