Ye Zi quickly cleared some room to accommodate these Templar warriors. Some of these soldiers had been traveling for days without much sleep. They had been waiting for five years, and now, their wait was finally over.

Aamir and the other leaders also marveled at this development, wondering who these warriors were.

"Captain, I am sure most of those new METAL soldiers are super warriors, and that leader could very well be at the legendary level," Han said.

Although even with the addition of the one hundred warriors, Battle Wolf was still one of the smallest bands, the high level of these new warriors meant that Battle Wolf's power would have increased by ten folds. It was particularly the case after the addition of a legendary warrior. Hans doubted if he would be able to find another legendary warrior in the entire Maersa district.

Guan Dongyang was a powerful mastery caster, and by now, he had the support of a chief sect medic, a mysterious super mechanic, and a group of super warriors led by a legendary warrior. Hans was convinced that it was only a matter of time before Battle Wolf became the dominating power in Maersa.

Aamir's plan was to table the proposal of the alliance and compete with Marcos to become the leader. However, he doubted that he could ignore Battle Wolf's power after it had received so many reinforcements. Even if Guan Dongyang and the other leaders decided to vote for him as the leader, he was not comfortable with commanding a legendary warrior and the Sect's chief medic.

Aamir conceded that the situation had spiraled out of his control quickly.

When Guan Dongyang, Wang Tong, and Yin Tianzong came to meet them again, the group of leaders knew that Battle Wolf was finally ready to discuss the alliance.

The new developments had lent Battle Wolf prestige and power; however, the presence of a legendary warrior had given other leaders a lot of pressure. These band leaders' eyes darted left and right, not daring to speak up.

Guan Dongyang cracked a smile and then said, "Allow me to introduce… This is Mr. Yin Tianzong. Just like Xiao Yuyu, he is one of Battle Wolf's guests. I have just confirmed that Mr. Yin has reached the legendary level."

The words took the wind out of other leaders' sails. They sensed that some big changes were about to come to Maersa, starting in this meeting room.

Battle Wolf was still a small war band, but be it the Chief Medic or the legendary warrior, either one of them could have squashed anyone at the meeting like an inset. Therefore, challenging Battle Wolf was courting death. Despite the fear and concern over the chief medic and the new warriors, Aamir's eyes didn't leave Wang Tong. Something told him that Wang Tong was the culprit behind all of these developments.

Aamir pulled his thoughts back to the meeting table; his questions could wait, as now was the time to figure out the leadership and the chain of command within the alliance.

From the reports he had gathered, Aamir knew that it was impossible to eliminate the Zergs in the city without gathering all the resisting forces. Aamir had already laid out an attack plan, and once he tabled it, it was up to the group of leaders to approve it. If the leaders failed to form a united front, they would have to fight on their own. In the end, the meeting ended inconclusively.

News about the sudden surge in Battle Wolf's power had spread across the Maersa district. Although the newly formed alliance had a very loose structure and lacked a leader, it was a good step in the right direction, a huge contribution from Aamir to the resistance forces.

After the new warriors arrived at Battle Wolf, the original METAL warriors were under a great pressure, and felt the urge to improve themselves.

That night, Yin Tianzong held a long conversation with Wang Tong. He told him that although these Templar were not the best warriors, they were extremely loyal, and unwavering on the battlefield. They had been waiting for Wang Tong for five years, and they believed that he would be able to lead the humans out of the age of darkness.

Yin Tianzong also asked many questions about Battle Wolf, and Wang Tong answered all of them patiently.

Although Yin Tianzong did not have the slightest doubts about Wang Tong's power, he could not feel any presence of conventional soul energy inside the latter. Instead, the power inside Wang Tong was pure and hard to gauge. It was a sign of true power.

Wang Tong's near perfect power and his shrewd methods in dealing with the politics had earned Yin Tianzong's approval as the future leader of the human race. Yin Tianzong had observed Wang Tong closely even before the Zerg invasion, and had been worried that after the five years, Wang Tong was still reckless and naive, unfit to lead the world. He felt fortunate that he had been wrong.

Wang Tong listened excitingly as Yin Tianzong briefed him on the abilities of these new warriors. Battle Wolf had finally made a breakthrough in their limited capacity of METAL warfare. These Templars had a solid foundation, and with the help of Mr. Wannabe, they were bound to become a deadly force on the battlefield.

"Chief Medic, why do you think a legendary warrior would join Battle Wolf?"

"I bet it had something to do with Wang Tong. Investigate Yin Tianzong's records. It is impossible for a legendary warrior to slip under our radar. "

"Ok… And there is another complication: Antonio is going to join Battle Wolf," Vorenus said.

Xiao Yuyu furrowed her brows and asked, "Can we stop him?"

"It might be difficult, since he is not under our command." Vorenus shrugged. Antonio was born into a military family, and both his parents were legendary warriors.

"Let it be then. " Xiao Yuyu replied.

The new additions had given Tan Bu, Duo Lun, and their friends a lot of pressure after just one round of sparring. These Templars' solid foundation in METAL combat was unmatched. However, thanks to the new abilities that Wang Tong had taught them, despite their lower levels, the original Battle Wolf warriors were able to gain an edge during the spar from time to time. So, the advantages shifted between the new and old warriors frequently, and it was difficult to determine the victor at the end of a real fight.

Despite Yin Tianzong's warning, conceit quickly grew within the ranks of the Templars. However, it only took one METAL lesson under Mr. Wannabe to purge their arrogance.

In the afternoon, Wang Tong started to teach these new warriors the Divine Burst skill. These Templars picked up the ability much faster than the soldiers of Battle Wolf.

In the first couple of days of the Sect casters' stay, dissidence and discontent spread across their camp, since they were convinced that the small camp of Battle Wolf was unworthy of their appearance. However, they quickly realized that they were wrong after joining the mastery class. Never had they expected to see hybrid element spells outside of their sect.

In the days that followed, Guan Dongyang taught these Sect casters the Divine Light spell by first introducing the life element. Soon, Guan Dongyang's knowledge and power had quickly made him the Sect medic's second idol after Michaux. However, as the leader of these Sect casters, Xiao Yuyu was not beguiled by him. She could tell that Guan Dongyang was only a beginner, far away from mastering the life element. Therefore, he was definitely not the creator of the spell.
