Chapter 536: Templars On Mars

Translator: Oneshotwonder Editor: Hitesh_

Xiao Yuyu had spent a lot of time digging into Wang Tong’s history. It didn’t take long before she realized that this captain Tong was hiding something. Although Wang Tong’s name reminded her of a long lost memory at the back of her mind, she never connected him with the heir of the Blade Warrior. Many things had changed over the five years, and it was almost impossible for people to keep track of the names of the people who had passed away.

Wang Tong had made a name for himself during the tournament, which was equivalent of the ancient games called Olympics. No one would remember the name of a rising star five years ago, especially on Mars, since most Martians had lost their interest in the tournament the moment Lie Jian and Michaux were eliminated from the matches.

The woman’s instinct told Xiao Yuyu that there were things that Wang Tong hadn’t been honest about with everyone. What drove her suspicion even deeper was the fact that she could not detect anything out of ordinary about Wang Tong.

Xiao Yuyu’s appearance had changed the mood of the meeting as everyone became reticent, fearing they would say something stupid and make a spectacle out of themselves. Only Aamir and Marcos remained talkative since they were commanding two of the most influential bands.

After some time, Bu Zhihuo and Pamir also loosened up. Everyone at the meeting conceded that with the addition of these Sect casters, Battle Wolf’s mastery team was unmatched within Maersa district.

“Hehe… I think Captain Guan has proven his band’s strength to us. We should include him in our alliance. ” Aamir announced.

“I agree!” Bu Zhihuo chimed in.

Pamir also nodded, as he didn’t plan to get involved in the drama between Thunder Fire and Battle Wolf in the first place.

Everyone looked to Marcos, and the latter nodded reluctantly.

“Boss, there are a hundred or so soldiers marching towards our camp. They will be here in minutes.” Ross hurried in and reported to Guan Dongyang.

“Hehe… Are those a hundred refugees?” Marcos laughed sarcastically.

“No! They are at least level sixteen. The leader of the group is most likely a legendary level warrior.” Ross replied. He had never seen a legendary warrior before, and the sight had sent him into a panic mode.

“Let’s go take a look.” Wang Tong and Guan Dongyang both stood up from their chairs calmly. There was no need to lose composure before even knowing if those soldiers were friends or foes.

Xiao Yuyu also furrowed her brows as she doubted Ross’ judgment. She had never heard of another legendary warrior in Maersa district before.

Before long, Battle Wolf’s soldiers had taken up their defense posts, and the group of leaders arrived at a lookout tower to investigate. They watched as a group of maglev riders slid across the landscape towards the camp. All soldiers except for the leaders were wearing METAL suits. The soldiers’ weary expression suggested that they had just gone through an intense battle.

The riders slowed down as they approached the city. Guan Dongyang was dumbfounded by the development; however, he registered that these riders were not hostile. Who were they?

The leader of the pact walked through the city gate and approached the group of leaders. Guan Dongyang felt the presence of his power grow stronger with every step he took.

From the stately steps of the leader, Bu Zhihuo was convinced that his power was of at least level twenty. Bu Zhihuo looked over the leader’s shoulder and saw a group of haughty fighters in aged twenty-five to thirty. Everyone’s eyes held the fragile edge of calm that threatened to explode. Their high-quality METAL suits boasted their might. What were they doing here?

The leader quietly scanned the group of warriors in front of him with a solemn gaze. Xiao Yuyu could smell the promise of a fight in the air. She had heard reports about the surge in the number of incidents involving rogue human soldiers. There had been the Mysterious Einherjar that everyone was talking about, and then there was this unfamiliar face in front of her. Was he one of the rogue factions that didn’t play by the rule?

The visitor’s eyes found Wang Tong’s face, and his lips quivered slightly.

Wang Tong held the stranger’s gaze for some time, and the rest of the warriors noticed their exchange of intense glances.

The visitor suddenly saluted to Wang Tong and pleasantly surprised the latter with a familiar gesture. Wang Tong gave the visitor a thumbs up and then turned towards Guan Dongyang. “Captain Guan, these warriors are here to join Battle Wolf.” Wang Ton nudged Guan Dongyang with his feet.

“Oh...ha...Yes... um...Yea…AH HA… Welcome! Welcome!” Guan Dongyang improvised a few words, pretending that he was not oblivious about what was going on. Although, he doubted that his act had beguiled anyone.

Among the one hundred or so warriors, at least half of them were METAL warriors with high-level METAL suits, suggesting that they were powerful fighters with deep pockets. Why would they want to join Battle Wolf?

“Excuse us, everyone. Can we resume our meeting a bit later? ” Guan Dongyang asked.

“Of course, Captain Guan. We can wait.” Aamir answered. Meanwhile, his eyes darted left and right, trying to discern the motives of these powerful warriors.

Guan Dongyang knew it had something to do with Wang Tong, so he ordered everyone to leave except for him.

“Who are you?”

“Yin Tianzong. I am from the Templar’s court… Well, what is left of it, that is. I have been waiting for you, young master!” Yin Tianzong exclaimed.

“How did you find me?” Wang Tong asked curiously. He had never known that the Templar’s court had established a branch on Mars. Nonetheless, these warriors had come at a good time.

“We had been searching for you for the last five years, and to find you were the last orders I had received before the communication line was cut off. I had heard about you at Jade City and what you did at that auction.” Yin Tianzong answered.

“How is the old man? Is he still alive?” Wang Tong’s first thought went to his only relative, Old Fart.

“Yes. Please don’t worry about grand master. We received the God’s revelation about the Zerg invasion a long time ago, and we had known all the while that you would lead us to overcome this dark time. I had gathered about one hundred and twenty Templars before I came here. I apologize for the delay, since everyone was spread out on Mars. Finding them had been time-consuming. ”

“Thank you! I will forever remember your assistance!”

“It is my honor, young master.”

“Hehe… Please call me to captain from now on. It’s easier for me that way. We can talk about our plan later on. I need to deal with that group of factions leaders waiting for me outside.”

“Yes, young…Captain Tong.”

As the leader of the Templar’s branch on Mars, Yin Tianzong was an extremely powerful warrior. His orders were to wait for the reappearance of the young master. Although he had doubted if the young master would actually show up on Mars, he never gave up his search.
