Samantha’s face hardened after she heard the comments. She could tolerate the two’s ostentatious remarks at any time, other than right now in front of Wang Tong. Guan Dongyang and the other martian warriors furrowed their bows in displeasure as well. They came here to help the earthlings, not to be put under their servitude.

“Take it back! Wang Tong is the leader of the Martian united front, and you think the position of a lieutenant would be enough?” Lie Xuan piped up. She had learned to contain her fire over the time she had spent with Guan Dongyang. However, she could not manage to hold back her anger after hearing the insult.

Xiao Se’s smile froze on his face while fire burst out of Li Hong’s mouth, “Who the hell are you and who allowed you to speak while I am talking?”

“Captain Li Hong, my name is Lie Xuan, and I’m with Guan Dongyang. We represent the Martian united front. If you don’t need our assistance, we will just head back home. We didn’t come for you anyway; we are here for our leader Wang Tong.”

“Don’t try to threaten me! We will liberate the Earth with or without you! Without busting our a*s and keeping Patroclus busy, Mars would never have been liberated.”

“Is that so? To me, it seemed like you had been chased around by Patroclus like a chicken. You are losing more ground on the Earth by the day, and you still think you can liberate it?”

“Followers of the Divine Mastery sect only listen to Wang Tong’s command.” Xiao Yuyu kept it brief.

“We would listen to your orders if you were the one who had defeated Moye.” Some METAL warrior put in, and the rest nodded in agreement.

“I can speak for all the Kaedeians that we only follow Wang Tong’s order.” Heidi finally broke her silence. Although she was sitting in the corner of the room, she had always been under everyone’s attention.

Kaedeians always had a special place in humans’ hearts, and every young soldier dreamed of sharing a bed with one of these dangerously beautiful female warriors. The Kaedeians were grateful for the Blade Warrior’s decision of letting them settle on Mars, and they had repaid the humans with their sacrifice at the front line. Even when they were used as cannon fodder during a space battle, they never spoke up against the confederation. However, their servitude had limits too, and Heidi would not obey the order of any human she didn’t trust.

An awkward silence fell onto the meeting room. The two captains could ignore the METAL warriors complain, but they needed to heed the words from the leaders of the Sect and the Kaedeians.

Finally, Samantha broke the spell. “Why don’t we ask what Wang Tong thinks about this? Although he used to be an academy student, he is the leader of many powerful factions. I think he deserves to be heard.”

“What are you trying to insinuate? Are you suggesting us to take orders from a foot soldier? I don’t care if he is the heir of Blade Warrior or not, commanding a fleet needs leadership skills, and not brute strength.” Li Hong piped up.

Li Hong’s words really got under the Martians’ skins as a swell of discontented murmur rose from the meeting room. If Li Hong were with these warriors in person, he might have to call an ambulance right then.

If Wang Tong were angry at the two cocky captains, he didn’t wear it on his face. He cracked a calm smile and willed the soldiers to be quiet. Suddenly, even the most foolhardy Martian soldier sat down in silence.

The two human captains were both shocked by the soldiers’ obedience. They had initially thought the Martians fighters followed Wang Tong simply due to gratitude. However, they registered that they had followed Wang Tong’s instruction as if it was their second instinct.

“Dear captains, I hope we don’t get too caught up by my title, which is a trivial matter compared to our real mission. Please regard me as a foot soldier working under Admiral Samantha if you so choose. Both of you are renowned commanders, so I won’t meddle in your affairs and will keep my own units close to myself. We share the same goal: to liberate the Earth and the moon. So, I hope we can work with instead of against each other.” Wang Tong said with a faint smile on his face.

“You can keep your Martian soldiers, but this fleet belongs to the Earthlings. So, you and your soldiers need to obey our rule and law!” Li Hong insisted.

“Of course! I will also support those decisions that I agree with.”

“What about those you don’t agree with?” Xiao Se asked slowly.

“Captain Xiao Se, let me put it this way: I don’t care about your fleet, neither do I want it. The Martians are building me a ten-thousand-sails strong armada equipped with the most advanced GN crystal technologies. You are an experienced leader, so you know what is best for everyone. As for those who dare to sabotage our plan, I also have prepared many punishments for them.” Wang Tong held Xiao Se’s gaze and announced his stern warning.

Samantha kept her silence and let Wang Tong do the talking. She had turned over the report on Wang Tong’s rise to power on Mars many times, and after each reading, her faith in him increased even more. After seeing what he had achieved on Mars, Samantha knew that no one on her ship was able to make him bend his knees. Li Hong and Xiao Se should be very careful now; if they were deemed by Wang Tong as too stubborn to work with, not even Samantha would be able to save them.

The two captains were taken aback by Wang Tong’s strong stance. They knew that he would be a tough nut to crack, but never would they have thought that he would threaten them, neither did they expect him to garner so much support among the Martians.

It was evident by then that Wang Tong’s victory over Moye was not a coincidence. If he couldn’t lord over a planet, he wouldn’t have been able to kill Moye.

“Hehe, our goal is the same. I understand where you two are coming from. I will talk to Wang Tong about obeying our rules, please rest assured.” Samantha finally spoke up. Li Hong snorted and then turned the terminal off while Xiao Se managed a fake smile and said, “I look forward to your good work!” before he turned off his Skynet.

“Balls! Who does that? We are here to help, for god’s sake!” Tan Bu said.

“Don’t be so antsy, Tan Bu! Try to place yourself in their shoes.” Wang Tong said.

“Well said! They both had concerns because they don’t know Wang Tong as well as you do. Most people have never heard of him before. Don’t worry, I will handle it!” Samantha said. Since she had put in her two cents, everyone else kept their complaints unspoken.

Cao Yi looked troubled: the two factions had been going so close that they would start to threaten Samantha’s position. Despite the awkwardness, Wang Tong cracked a smile. He had already been warned about Samantha’s trouble in exerting her authority before he had arrived. After everyone had left the meeting room, he heaved a sigh of relief, then turned to Samantha and complimented her, ‘You look more attractive than ever.”

“Not as attractive as your army of secretaries…” Samantha said with an edge in her voice.

“I did nothing.” Wang Tong managed an innocent shrug. Samantha’s sumptuous breasts under her firm uniform made his heart hammer.

Wang Tong found an urge to press his face in between her bosom and shower her with his hot kisses. Samantha was different from all the other girls; she was his first love and had given him the first cut. First cut was always the deepest, but little did he know that this feeling was mutual.

Since the confederation’s armada had arrived on Mars, it wouldn’t leave empty-handed. Therefore, the Zergs’ space fleets came on Samantha’s radar as she sought to eliminate them. However, that was easier said than done. Not only did the Zergs have an advantage in numbers, the commander of the Zerg fleet was a powerful S level blood kin as well.
