Although it was a risky move, instead of having all five thousand cavaliers die at the enemy rear, it was better to have the three of them make the gamble.
Happy knew just how strong were Yangzhou's Twin Dragons. Even if elites at the level of Empress Yin and Evil King were lured over, it will be very easy for them to flee. Happy himself also had Shifting Stars, so he will have no problem in protecting himself.
Besides, over this period of time, he fought against Demon General, the Priest, Wan Wan, and sparred with Kuo Zhong. His Arhat Body had finally moved from Silver Light Arhat—the tenth realm—to Golden Body Arhat, which was the peak of Arhat Body. He obtained the profound secret of Golden Body Arhat as well.
Once he reached the eleventh realm for Arhat Body, his defense increased by one thousand points.
If he activated the profound secret for Golden Body Arhat, not only will he withstand a fatal blow from a Myth Realm enemy once, if he attacked his enemy at close distance, he will be able to completely rebound the attack back to the enemy.
With this move, even if he fought against Demon General, Happy can be slightly more confident that he can injure the latter.
Hence, if they did not act with Silver Wolf and the others, they will actually be able to move about at ease.
"Alright, since you have such heroic aspirations, Young Master Ling and I will risk my life to work with you. We will follow you!"
As expected of Kuo Zhong, a young marshal in the army. He had already gone through various dangerous situations with Xu Zhiling, and he was doing this sort of thing was as easy as breathing to him.
Once the duo agreed to it, Happy no longer hesitated. He nodded at Silver Wolf and Red Dust.
Both nodded at each other and quickly mobilized the cavaliers to head to different directions.
Rumble!
The cavaliers moved like a tidal wave on the plains, and dust flew behind them!
Just when a cavalier battalion launched a charge, Happy led Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling to quietly leave the team using the deafening hooves and the dust flying all over the sky as their cover.
Chapter 872 - Chasing Away Class One Hall
"Kill them!"
"Kill those bastards from Class One Hall! Didn't you have a great time chasing us around yesterday?! Come on! Come and fight me!"
"Jerks… Don't waste anything. Pick up all the equipment— I'm talking about you! Gosh, these people are so wasteful…"
People from two different factions of power played a game of chase on the plains not too far away from the Chinese camp. More than one thousand Chivalry Sect elites cried out fiercely as they went after the lives of the thousands of Class One Hall members, and they left behind an entire trail of Class One Hall elites' corpses on the ground. There might be a lot of Class One Hall members in the battlefield, but they were all in a pathetic state. They did not turn their heads around, and neither did they dare to fight against Chivalry Sect. This scene caused the martial artists around them to all be flabbergasted.
This scene also happened simultaneously in multiple battlefields on the plains.
Regardless of whether it was Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, or Wind and Rain Alliance, once they were engaged in a fierce fight for points against Class One Hall, a war suddenly broke out between them.
The people from the four sects completely gave up on snatching points, and they charged at the people from Class One Hall regardless of the cost.
Even though they were few in number, they still went up against their enemy!
To countless players, this was without a doubt, a suicidal move, but within a short period of time, the situation changed. Once the people from Class One Hall quickly went up against the four sects, they fell apart at an even faster pace.
They did not fight back at all. All of them left the battlefield and fled on the plains.
The flames of war rose everywhere!
The people from the four sects tasted victory, and they went searching for Class One Hall members all over the plains. At the same time, they continuously made arrangements for more of their members who were about to obtain military titles to get points.
There were not many places where the Mongolian cavaliers were engaged in a fight against the Chinese army on the plains, and they were very easy to find.
Hence, Class One Hall was forced to withdraw. Whenever they saw a large group of Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance members appear, they will basically scream in fear and quickly run away from the battlefield.
Those who were not well-informed will suffer the same fate as the ones before them.
In the end, most of the war achievements over the day were received by the four sects. During the chase, most of the Class One Hall members who received points during the battle will die. Not only did their points drain to zero, because they injured those with military titles, they entered the state where their strength was compromised, and they will even be locked up for seventy-two hours.
Class One Hall had sent one hundred thousand people into the plains, and they entered with a great momentum, but once this battle was over, more than twenty thousand of them died, and tens of thousands left the plains. Most of the remaining ones did not even dare leave the camp.
Class One Hall suffered a huge blow.
Anyone can tell that Class One Hall had suffered defeat repeatedly during the horrifying competitions on the plains over the past few days, and now, finally, they had a large number of their people kicked out of the battlefield.
Class One Hall went into radio silence!
Over the day, the four sects did their quests and their enemies. They practically did not face any interference. More people received military titles, and all of them gained the courage to go to Class One Hall's group and provoke them.
Later on, the four sects even mobilized a group of people to specifically guard the camp and keep a close eye on the actions of the people from Class One Hall. Once someone from Class One Hall broke off from their team, they will kill them without hesitation. If a large group of Class One Hall members came out of the camp, the four sects will take action by mobilizing a large group of people to fight against them.
The stream of operations caused the people from Class One Hall to not be able to leave nor stay.
The plains had basically turned into Class One Hall's hell.
Quite a number of people decided to seek death so that they can fly back to Aru City for free.
Happy will absolutely did not expect that his plan will actually render Dream Clouds so helpless that she was unable to fight back at all. In just a few short hours, Class One Hall's morale was completely destroyed.
*****
At that moment, Happy, Kuo Zhong, and Xu Zhiling killed off the squad of patrolling cavaliers who chased after them, got their horses, and disguised as them before they strutted to the logistics camp.
All along the way, whenever they ran into patrolling cavaliers from the distance, some of the careless ones will clearly think that this group of people were their comrades.
However, their carelessness saved them. There were a few squads who approached them in succession when they were very close to the camp. Once they did, the trio said nothing but just took action to kill them.
"The logistics camp is ahead of us."
The trio finally stopped. They stopped on a slope calmly and stared at the square-shaped camp sixth-tenths of a mile ahead of them, which was separated from the rest of the plains by stakes.
Yurts could be seen connecting into a long line of accomodations in the camp.
Around the camp were squads of cavaliers who patrolled the area strictly. The further into the camp, the more cavaliers there were patrolling the area.
Huge yurts were gathered together in a dense manner at an area near the center of the camp. Nearly an area of 328 feet was emptied around it, and nothing was in there aside from waves of soldiers.
They stood there with spears and
their bows and arrows ready.
"As expected, the supplies are right at the center, and it's heavily guarded. There are a lot of soldiers at the periphery too, and there are also circles of stakes around it. If we led five thousand cavaliers to launch a forceful offense, we won't be able to get in at all."
Kuo Zhong was indeed a young marshall. The first thing he thought about was how hard it would be to attack this place if he led his army here. He then turned his head around. "Brother Happy, your decision is correct. Coming here with a large army to invade the logistics camp with force is not practical. While we might lure out the enemy cavaliers by bothering the camp, the situation will be different if we bother the logistics camp. The people inside will definitely not take the initiative to attack. Instead, they will defend the area with their lives and ask for reinforcements."
"There are connected stakes all over the area and also horse traps. They might have been set up because they are already expecting us to attack their camp!" Xu Zhiling surveyed the enemy camp ahead of him. "But the area is too heavily guarded. It might not be easy for the three of us to get in. If we attack by force, how long do we need to fight…?"
"Young Master Ling, have you forgotten about the disguise we put up?" Kuo Zhong smiled smugly. "No matter, we learned the Tatar language for some time from Ta Bafeng. If we want to sneak in, it won't be hard." When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking and looked at Happy. "But while it won't be hard getting in, the defense around the supplies are tight. Without special passwords, we won't be able to get near. Once we get into the camp, we might have to resort to force. At that time…"
"I know." Happy nodded in understanding. "At that time, we'll have to act according to our own abilities. I have with me a special item the marshal gave me. Once I find a chance to get close to the supplies, I promise you, I will definitely burn the Mongolian supplies to a crisp! At that time, when smoke fills the area, we'll leave immediately."
"Alright." Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling became completely at ease.
Happy followed behind Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling. Kuo Zhong led the group and headed to the entrance of the logistics camp at a leisurely pace.
The Mongolian cavaliers were unruly and bold in their actions.
Xu Zhiling and Happy could not imitate their actions, but Kuo Zhong was completely at ease with it.
From the distance, he swung his whip and let it release a loud crack in the air while he shouted oddly. The Mongolian cavaliers near the gate laughed in understanding and let them rush into the camp.
Rumble!
Happy and Xu Zhiling did not dare remain idle. They quickly followed behind Kuo Zhong and charged into the logistics camp for the Mongolian army.
Whoosh!
When they entered the camp, Kuo Zhong quickly got down from his horse. He exchanged a glance with Happy and Xu Zhiling, who quickly got down from their horses as well, and that glance meant, "Bring the horses to the stables first before you take action."
Then, the trio led their horses to the direction of the stables without a word.
Chapter 873 - Displaying Abilities
The battle between the two armies had already ended on the plains.
Not only had the battle between the Mongolian cavaliers and the Chinese army come to a conclusion, the battle between Class One Hall and the four sects also came to an end.
A lot of people were now gone from the camp.
A group of Mu Clan members had just entered the camp after they finished a quest, and they were just in time to run into Chivalry Sect's master, Wind Void, who led a group of people and a battalion of cavaliers numbering to more than three thousand. They headed outside hastily.
"Sect Master Void, Vice Sect Master Lin!" Thunderous Battle grinned and stopped moving to greet them. "Your cavalier battalions are getting more majestic now!"
"Hehe, isn't it the same for you, Clan Master Thunder? I heard that all Mu Clan members have military ranks now, and we wouldn't dare slack off."
Wind Void and Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and they went to Thunderous Battle at the same time. "Brother Thunder, how are your rewards this time?"
"Let's not talk about that, the war today is almost at an end. The cowards from Class One Hall are really uninteresting. They all fled without a trace, and I ended leading my group of people around with nothing to do." But even though Thunderous Battle said that, his face was red, and he appeared to be in high spirits.
Class One Hall's disappearance from the plains was naturally something good to Mu Clan.
"Haha! It's the same for us! Also, our friends from Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance have expanded their search area, but they didn't manage to find any people from Class One Hall on the plains. I reckon that they're really scared of us after the beat down, and they don't have the courage to enter anymore." Lin Xiao grinned.
Wind Void and the people from Chivalry Sect were all incredibly excited.
Ever since Class One Hall set up an ambush in Eternal Peace Temple and nearly destroyed the three giants of Chivalry Sect, the people from Chivalry Sect had always remembered how kindly Class One Hall had treated them, but they always had a hard time shaking Class One Hall's core because of how strong it was. They never had a chance to attack, and now, since they could personally destroy Class One Hall's prestige and caused Class One Hall to suffer such a huge loss, they felt as if they had vented a huge part of their anger!
"By the way, where are you going?" Thunderous Battle smiled as he swept a glance at the battalion behind Lin Xiao and Wind Void.
Wind Void explained the situation to Thunderous Battle, "Heh, it's like this. We were just prepared to come to you for a discussion. There are about ten thousand people who still don't have military titles from Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance. The leaders met each other for a moment just now and came to a discussion. We thought that Class One Hall might not accept their fate, and they might have other operations under planning. That's why I'm thinking about using this chance to trigger a group quest with my people and help my remaining friends get their military titles."
"Oh." Thunderous Battle nodded.
Wind Void's worry was within reason.
After all, the Emperor's Announcement event had just begun, and Class One Hall was the lord of the north. Right now, they had one hundred thousand of their soldiers being chased out by the four sects working together, and this happened right in front of the heroes of the world. Not only did they have their dignity completely crushed, if they completely retreated, it will mean that they will miss out on a large number of plot relevant quests provided by the system during the Emperor's Announcement event.
With Dream Clouds' temperament, she will definitely think of a way to turn the tides!
"If you leave, what will happen to the defense in the plains?" Thunderous Battle asked.
Wind Void quickly explained. "Big Brother Thunder, don't worry. I've already discussed matters with Phantasmal Shadow and Night Rain Follows Wind.
"Today, Chivalry Sect will be in charge of doing quests, while they're in charge of continuing to be on guard and search through the plains. They will not give Class One Hall the chance to enter the plains. Tomorrow, Wind and Rain Alliance will send a group of people out to do quests."
"Then, there's no problem." Thunderous Battle instantly felt relieved.
If they only had a small group of people missing from the patrol force, even if Class One Hall knew about it, they might not have the courage to enter the plains.
"Then I wish all of you success in your quest, my friends from Chivalry Sect!"
"I wish you success in your quest!"
The people from Mu Clan wrapped their fists in their palms and sent the Chivalry Sect members away.
*****
Rumble!
The ground trembled!
"Red Dust!" Even though they brought quite a number of cavaliers this time with them without Happy's interference, Silver Wolf did not dare to slack o
ff in the slightest. Once he rushed one-third of a mile away from where he originally was, he shouted loudly at Red Dust to prepare his operation.
"Coming!"
Red Dust shouted with a red face. He raised his arm up high, and the restless battalion of three thousand cavaliers behind him immediately charged down the slope.
Rumble!
The cavaliers came down in waves.
Four hundred Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect elites were mixed among the cavaliers, and they launched a charge at the ten thousand Mongolian cavaliers from the flank!
Red Dust knew that the situation today was different from yesterday.
But it was different today. They only had four hundred elites and five hundred Chinese cavaliers who were weaker than Mongolian cavaliers. They did not have a peerless elite like Happy taking the initiative to attack and interfere with the enemy's formation during their charge, so they faced quite a lot of pressure.
Red Dust rushed right in front of the cavaliers, and while he tugged at his horse to charge forward, he shouted loudly, "Remember, get their horses first!"
"ROAR!"
The four hundred or so elites behind him used their own method to answer to Red Dust's reminder. With high morale, they rushed to the black mass of Mongolian cavaliers who moved like a black steel dragon.
"Kill them!"
Right when their roars rose, they heard numerous sounds of something being strung tight rise among the thunderous hooves!
The Chinese cavaliers brought up their shields.
Countless fierce arrows rose from the Mongolian army in the distance, and they quickly filled up a small part of the sky!
In the next second, two hundred of the three thousand cavaliers Red Dust led immediately died. Shrill neighs and pained screams rose nonstop.
