After tried all kinds of answers and softwares supplied by warm-hearted people, I finally got what I need- Aneesoft MKV Video Converter.

'Clear' in the right-click menu means remove all titles in the list.

Step 4: Merge some separate MKV videos to 1 single WMV file
Click on the video titles you'd like to merge to 1 single file, then click 'Merge' button and uncheck the former separate files if you just need the single merged video file. Here 'click on the video titles' is not just check the options, you need to click them to make them highlight. You may see the image below to have an idea.
