    Just like what Wang Tong had told them, they picked only the best and didn’t care about anyone’s feelings. The other captains quickly raised the ante against Karl’s drafting method. They imed that the chaos it had stirred up would adversely affect the progress of the war. They presented their evidence, some of which was even legit.


    However, nothing would stop Wang Tong at this point, and he was confident that he would seed.


    Seeing that Karl had followed Wang Tong’s instructions to the letter, sh quickly followed suit. After so many years, these academy students didn’t let the world round their edges; instead, they became more willing to fight for their dreams, even if that meant stepping on someone.


    Wang Tong had disclosed the full details of the operation to him, and sh was grateful for his trust. There had been rumors that sh was actually a spy, and the goal of his operation was to see to the human’s failure. However, Samantha and Wang Tong disregarded the rumors and assigned him a central role in this operation.


    sh knew they wouldn’t believe the rumors because Wang Tong knew who what kind of person he was: he was a true friend. If sh could get Wang Tong the sess of this mission, he would pay anything for it, including his life.


    While the fleet was formed slowly, Wang Tong continued to help the mastery warriors and the casters in getting used to spacebat. This had continued for a month, and Wang Tong seemed to have done nothing but training. Even the rtively inactive armada had carried out a couple of harassments on the Zerg fleet, but the newly formed special force had done nothing.


    While Wang Tong trained the soldiers, Karl and sh were busy cobbling together a perfect tram. They were excited by the rare chance to flex their leadership muscles. For the first time, they could make up the team and attack ns all by themselves, just like real fleetmanders would.


    sh didn’t expect to y such a key role in this operation when he first joined Wang Tong, and neither did he expect to have so much freedom to turn his dream team into realization. Although he and many other new graduates had been promoted to high ranks, the very few generals were still the ones that made the call.


    sh and Karl had very simr experiences, and therefore, they shared a lot ofmon grounds. They hit along every quickly and formted ns of attack based on the information they had.


    On the eighth day of their preparation, a small shipnded on the ship, and the passenger was a handsome young man dressed in in white.


    He was the Divine Master of the Divine Mastery sect, Michaux.


    He hade to Wang Tong’s assistance as soon as he had finished the business within the sect. The arrival of such a renowned warrior had caught everyone’s attention.


    Ever since Wang Tong started organizing his own fleet, Samantha had been bombarded with questions. Many leaders of the armada med her for her recklessness to give permission for a group of “children” to dismantle the status quo on the ships.


    Samantha would be lying if she said that the situation was not stressful. However, she was ready to take on the challenge and support Wang Tong until the end. She was pleasantly surprised by Michaux’s visit, and thought that he would provide the fleet officers some much-needed diversion.


    However, Michaux had not seen anyone other than Wang Tong and his crew ever since he arrived, outrightly ignoring the invitations for all theworking events.


    “What took you so long, Michaux?” Wang Tong asked a smile. Wang Tong had met some roadblocks while helping the casters in oveing their fear of the primordial forces, and he eagerly needed Michaux’s help.


    “I didn’t know you would miss me. How is the confederation fleet? Have they given you enough grief yet?”


    “Are you here to just watch as they put me down?”


    Michaux nodded and then smiled mischievously. “I would love to see it. Haha! What is it?”


    “Guan Dongyang and the other casters can’t ovee the fear for the primordial power. My help hasn’t been very useful.” Wang Tong went straight to the point. He and Michaux were the only two in the meeting room as Samantha had dismissed everyone else.


    There had been too many people who wanted to visit Michaux. Ever since the death of Lie Jintian, the Sect had be the most influential faction on Mars. Therefore, from a political point of view, whoever befriended Michaux would have befriended the entire. However, Michaux was not interested in making friends; he was here for business.


    Michaux nodded. “Hehe, see? Being too talented is not always good. You must not have had to deal with such a hurdle, since you had the soul essence. However, it is one of the most difficult lessons for ordinary mastery casters. It is much more difficult than getting used to the zero gravity. The universe is boundless, and so is the primordial sea. So, the fear of getting lost in the sea is indeed real. You didn’t have to worry about it because you were guided by your soul essence.”


    “Exactly! That’s what I thought as well. But how do we solve the problem at hand? How do we help them?”


    “Leave it to me…I will help them. ”


    “Perfect! The X-6 special force is nearlyplete, and this is thest piece of the puzzle.” Wang Tong smiled as he was relieved.


    Once Wang Tong finished talking with Michaux, he found Karl and sh and listened to their n of attack. Wang Tong had heard that they had shuffled people around and used only people whom they trusted.


    “Wang Tong, this is the n Karl and I had formted over the days. We have wagered that your intention is to lure the Zergs out of their hiding spot, so we went along that direction in our n.” sh said excitedly. He was eager to see how this n would fare when they put it to test. Although the special force was a small unit, its members were a closely knitted group. The more time they spent on the battlefield together, the more powerful the team would be.


    “Hehe, I don’t have any specific goal, and I only expect one thing from you: make the Zergs hate you so much that they would chase after you on sight. As for your n, I have only one question: how long does it take to execute your n?”


    Karl nced at sh and said, “If you just want the Zerg to hate us, I wager it would take less than ten days for us to piss them off. However, within those ten days, we need to focus on our n, and cannot take any side quests. Name us themanders of the fleet and I guarantee you that the Zergs would hate the X-6 special force to the bone.” sh and Karl looked to Wang Tong expectantly, enthusiasm burning in their eyes.


    “You have fifteen days, and yes, I hereby give you two the fullmanding power over the X-6 special force. Do whatever it takes, and you don’t need my approval while you are out there.” Wang Tong announced.


    Karl and sh were convinced that their task would eventually lead up to the killing blow that Wang Tong had prepared for the Zergs. They felt honored for being trusted to lead such a meaningful task.


    “You can count on us! sh and I had been studying the star charts every night to familiarize with the region, and with those tough SOBs we have picked, I promise we will hit the Zergs hard! I will make them grit their teeth and clench their fists at the mere mention of our names!” Karl announced forcefully and pounded his chest.


    “Very well! Stay focused on your task and know that Samantha and I are looking after the Armada. Call me if you need me, I am always here for you two. I believe in you!” Wang Tong said candidly.


    The three of the linked their hands and pumped them vigorously.


    …


    On the ninth day, the X-6 fleet embarked on their journey to carry out the task that was still shrouded in mystery. The instigator of all recent upheavals and changes in the armada, Wang Tong, didn’t join the X-6 fleet. Instead, he remained focused on training the Martians as if he had nothing to do with X-6’s mission.


    Wang Tong was the one who had insisted on the X-6 mission; however, he had left two soldiers with nomanding experiences in charge of the mission. Many generals felt it was not only reckless, but also insulting.


    Meanwhile in the Zerg fleet, Zhoudi was reveling in his life as the suprememander in and around Mars’ outer space. His lower rank counterparts showered him with respect and servitude, and his joy had strengthened his resolve to destroy the human fleetpletely.
