Red Dust and the group of elites from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect revealed themselves at the front of the charge. With a fierce and sharp presence, they let out hysterical shouts.
"Kill them!"
With the group of cavaliers beside them providing them with cover, they did not suffer much damage when they faced an arrow shower coming at them horizontally, and they were completely unharmed.
The elites who lasted through the two arrow showers were like tigers released from their shackles. They instantly arrived in front of the Mongolian cavaliers.
Shriek!
A shrill whistle came right at their faces, and the brutal blades brought with them horrifying blood. They viciously cut into the areas where the Mongolian cavaliers were not protected by metallic scales, and those blades tore through them.
The powerful warhorses and strong cavaliers could only sense a cold and harsh wind from the ground slice past them, then, they, along with their horses, lost their balance, and they fell swiftly to the ground while shrill neighs rose from among them.
The four hundred elites were like fierce tigers who rushed into a herd of sheep. They brought with a strong and boorish presence like that of a god of death, and they rushed among the Mongolian cavaliers with the strength to mow down all resistances. Their offense was brutal and difficult to withstand!
When the Mongolian cavaliers faced this charge, their charge ran into a complete brick wall.
Even the Chinese armies behind the players had to step over the corpses all over the ground and launch charges with great difficulty so that they can kill and rush into the Mongolian cavaliers' formation.
Rumble!
The charge from the Mongolian cavaliers had just been completely destroyed by the four hundred elites, and Silver Wolf had already led his two thousand cavaliers to turn around without ever stopping and lead a charge from a another direction to ram into the Mongolian cavaliers' other flank viciously.
A chaotic battle began!
Chapter 874 - Heavy Repeating Crossbow
The center of the Mongolian's logistics camp was the place where their food supplies were kept. It was surrounded by twenty huge yurts, and there were at least two thousand soldiers stationed there.
All of them were decked in full armor, and they stared at the empty ground ahead of them with burning eyes.
Around them was an empty area that was around 328 feet in length. Since many people had stepped over it, it was now muddy and difficult to traverse. Dozens of cavaliers surrounded the area to patrol it, and patrols can be seen moving around very closely to each other.
A squad of patrolling cavaliers moved past the yurt to the east. Then, one single head carefully appeared in the gap between two yurts.
A second one appeared later.
Then a third.
It was Happy, Kuo Zhong, and Xu Zhiling.
"The defense sure is tight."
"Yeah, with so many people guarding it, it'll be difficult to set fire to the supplies."
When Happy heard Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling's words, even he could not help but frown. What Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling said was true. Even though there was only a short 328 feet away from where they were to the yurt containing the food supplies, there were more than five hundred patrolling cavaliers from where they were to the yurt with the food supplies. If anything happened, they can soon provide reinforcements.
Among the two thousand cavaliers stationed around the food supplies were also 100-man commanders, 1,000-man commanders, and even majors. This was like a huge ravine that was placed right in front of the trio.
The area in which Happy's Nine Yang Divine Skill can detect was 328 feet. Once he observed the area carefully, a group of people suddenly came over to patrol the area. He quickly yanked his other two companions to the back of the yurt to hide.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Orderly and rapid horse hooves went galloping over the area. Soon, squads of patrolling cavaliers intersected with each other while they continued their patrol. It was obvious that they were moving much faster than before, and during that period of time, they also conversed with each other in Mongolian. Happy could not understand what they meant, but he did manage to use Nine Yang Divine Skill's spiritual senses to detect the strange atmosphere at the logistics camp. It seemed like all the soldiers in the camp had instantly become tense, and they were searching for something everywhere.
"What's going on?" Happy felt a little surprised by this. He turned his head around and saw Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling putting on anguished and resigned smiles. Kuo Zhong spread his arms and shrugged.
"We seem to have been discovered."
"The horses we stole don't belong to this camp. The Mongolians are way too alert."
The duo's words felt like a basin of cold water pouring over his head.
Happy s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath, but even so, he cannot stop the chill from instantly spreading over half of his heart. However, he soon managed to become calm once more, and his gaze swiftly turned sharp. "Since we've already been discovered, we shouldn't bother with being too careful anymore. If we continue hiding, the situation will be even more dangerous for us. Young Master Ling, Young Master Zhong, do you dare come with me and fight them with brute force?"
"What the heck? If Young Master Ling and I are scared, we'd be this." Kuo Zhong extended his hand to make the gesture of a coward. Then, he exchanged a glance with Young Master Ling and Happy before all of them smiled.
Kuo Zhong was the first to bring out his Moon in Well and rushed out from behind the yurt!
"Haha! Young Master Ling, Happy, let's see who gets to the food supplies first!"
It would have been better if Kuo Zhong kept his mouth shut, because once he spoke, the entire camp instantly burst into commotion!
"That Kuo Zhong!"
"He's too reckless! That fool!"
Happy and Xu Zhiling were both shocked while they remained at the back, but they said nothing and charged out of the back of the yurt as well. Once Kuo Zhong left the army, he seemed to have turned into the Kuo Zhong during the time when he was just part of Yangzhou's Twin Dragons. He completely cast aside his dignity when he was in the army and regained some of the unruly presence that he had.
After the shock from Kuo Zhong, the entire camp instantly descended into chaos, the patrolling cavaliers around them surged forward from everywhere and instantly formed an encirclement to attack him.
But Kuo Zhong was strong. Since he dared to take the initiative to show himself, he will naturally not be afraid of these low-ranking soldiers. Once his Moon in Well was unsheathed, a presence of war Happy was familiar surged out of Kuo Zhong's body.
Wherever the saber glare went, dazzling and tragic blood streams will gush out of the Mongolian cavaliers' wounds. They surrounded the air above Kuo Zhong while he easily killed every single cavalier in his path and formed a terrifying road in his wake.
Of course, he did not use Eight Skills from the Well, since it was an ultimate technique Kuo Zhong used to deal with elites. The saber technique he currently used had a horrifying momentum and attacked endlessly. It was clearly the saber technique that allowed Kuo Zhong to gain his fame on the battlefield—Ten Styles for War!
Happy originally wanted to kill to his hearts' content together with Kuo Zhong, but before he could even go over, Xu Zhiling gave him a reminder while he remained behind him.
"Brother Happy, do not forget our goal for this trip!" Once he finished speaking, Xu Zhiling followed closely behind Kuo Zhong and slaughtered his way into the enemies.
Boom!
Happy shuddered, as if thunder roared in his mind.
Xu Zhiling was right.
There were ten thousand Mongolian cavaliers here, and it was far too easy for anyone to be blinded by the idea of killing them for war achievements. If Happy fought against the Mongolian army, even if he killed them until night fell, he might not be able to kill them all. In fact, he might even do what was truly important.
N
ow that he had Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling opening the path for him, why should he not use this chance to preserve his strength and use his fastest speed to get closer to the spot where the food supplies were and burn them?
"Thanks for your reminder, Young Master Ling."
While he thought about this, Happy followed closely behind Xu Zhiling and quickly approached the yurt at the center of the camp through the bloody path that Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling left in their wake.
Xu Zhiling's arms manifested countless fair and vague hands in the air, and they easily dissolved the attacks from the Mongolian cavaliers around him. Then, he will strike down all those who attacked him.
Each palm strike will get rid of one Mongolian cavalier.
And even though Happy had someone opening the path for him, it did not mean that he did not need to use any power at all.
He held his Dragon Saber in his hand, and if anyone dared to come close to him, he will swing his saber without hesitation.
Kuo Zhong was there, ready with his Ten Styles for War for Happy to imitate. With his swing of his saber and the execution of each style, he will always be able to take a few Mongolian soldiers' lives.
While the trio worked together, they f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y cleared a wide and bloody path from the dense encirclement. They stepped over hundreds of Mongolian cavaliers' corpses and quickly headed to the yurt with the food supplies.
'Why is it so easy?' When he saw that he was getting to a spot where he would be 98 feet away from the yurt, Happy suddenly questioned the absurdity in this.
This was a quest at the level of a battalion commander! The points in this were as high as fifty thousand points!
He also had Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling helping him. If he managed to clear the quest so easily, wouldn't he have too easy of a time?
Right when this thought flashed in Happy's moment, at that moment, Happy suddenly noticed that the two thousand heavy-armored soldiers guarding the supplies ahead of him had decided to move, and they did not loudly. Then, without uttering a single word, they brought out crossbow carts that caused him to widen his eyes.
"What in the world?!"
"Repeating crossbow carts!"
"Young Master Zhong, Young Master Ling, be careful!"
At the same time, hundreds of Mongolian guards lifted their bows and arrows and quickly nocked their bows. Hundreds of bows were drawn, and they were directed to the trio.
"Fire!"
The Mongolian warriors around them quickly avoided the area.
Arrow showers and crossbow bolts instantly locked down the areas in which the trio can run to.
Even with all that Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling had seen and experienced, when they saw that the Mongolian guards had actually brought out more than ten repeating crossbow carts to kill them, they widened their eyes as well and panicked.
Twang! Twang!
Since the arrows were fired at a close distance, they instantly arrived in front of them.
But what caused the trio to panic was not the arrow showers, but the dozens of huge crossbow bolts that locked down large areas and caused them to be unable to dodge the attacks.
Chapter 875 - Ambush!
"HAH!"
The trio, regardless of whether it was Kuo Zhong, Xu Zhiling, or Happy, actually did not bother too much with the arrow showers that filled the air, but they had to pay attention to the highly damaging weapons used to attack cities.
One hot and one cold presence shot up. These two astonishing presences instantly surged out of Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling's bodies.
Strike at Brilliance!
Kuo Zhong's expression was as calm as water. He had finally used Eight Skills from the Well. Two Moon in Wells, one real and the other fake, intersected at each other to form a golden saber glare that was two feet wide. All the arrows that came at it were all destroyed and crushed in an instant. The arrows that traveled at the front of the arrow shower were the first to be destroyed. While a loud bang rose, they turned into countless dense fragments that went straight back into the enemy crowd.
"AH!"
"ACK!"
The group of Mongolian cavaliers felt as if they had been hit by hail that filled the world, and they were thrown off their horses.
Xu Zhiling was also at ease. He moved his hands. The arrow showers that covered the entire area instantly turned into two waves that moved in a spiral. Then, they were either ground to dust in the air, or sent to the ground around them.
But Happy did not have such an easy time.
Fortunately, the duo helped deal with part of the arrows raining down at them, and he had faced quite a lot of situations like this. With familiar ease, he used Shifting Stars to completely turn away all the arrows that were a threat to him, and they fell back in a dense wave at the Mongolian warriors across him.
As for the ten or so large crossbow bolts coming at them, the power in each of them was comparable to a full powered strike from a martial artist at the peak of Inaction Realm. Even if he used Shifting Stars, he will be unable to completely control them and move them away. He can only use Petite Dragon to avoid them.
The ten or so crossbow bolts rammed into the people behind them like cannonballs, and each of them pierced through more than ten Mongolian men because of the momentum. Those people were instantly killed.
"Happy! Chance!" At that moment, Kuo Zhong suddenly shouted loudly while he was ahead of him.
Happy felt his spirits rise. He had already noticed that after that arrow shower, the defense line formed by the Mongolian warriors ahead of them had been largely destroyed. More than three hundred people were killed, and the situation was incredibly chaotic. Right now, it was the perfect chance for him to break out of the encirclement to burn the food supplies.
"Open!"
Happy seized the chance and rushed to the air above the Mongolian warriors like an arrow fired from a bow. A bloody glare with an astonishing momentum came flying out of Dragon Saber.
At the same time, a golden moon fused with a bright, bloody light descended from the sky.
A ravine that was two feet wide and dozens of feet long swiftly spread out on the ground. The aggressive force in it was difficult to block, and the Mongolian cavaliers who were in the path of the ravine were torn from the center of their bodies.
Dozens of Mongolian warriors felt a chill at their waists, and when they looked down, they saw that their upper bodies had been separated from their lower bodies. Then, their consciousness completely vanished.
It was the final move in Eight Skills from the Moon—Soldier Deception!
It launched a pincer attack from the back and front, and the attack will change a lot during its course. With just one strike, Happy left behind a bloody path leading to the yurt.
When Kuo Zhong saw this, his eyes lit up, and he was full of praises for it. "That's a good saber! It's much stronger than my Moon in Well!"
Xu Zhiling frowned a little before he shook his head nonstop.
It was way too bloody.
Without another word, Happy used the momentum to charge through the final ninety-eight feet and arrived in front of the yurt.
He stretched out his arm, and under Kuo Zhong as well as Xu Zhiling's protection, he resolutely brought out a small, round, black ball from his Universe Bag.
"Thunderous Fire Scale Bullet!"
His eyelid twitched. Kuo Zhong could not help but cry out in surprise. It was clear that he managed to recognize the object in Happy's hands. "This is a good item. I heard that once this item explodes, it can cover an area spanning hundreds of feet wide, and even if you pour water on the fire, it cannot be extinguished! Hurry! Set the supplies on fire and leave! If we continue dilly-dallying in this place, the evil cult elites will arrive!"
"What are you still waiting for?" When Xu Zhiling saw Happy holding that Thunderous Fire Scale Bullet and not moving while he stared behind the yurt, he could not help but ask in surprise.
Happy did not answer. Instead, he solemnly put away his Thunderou
s Fire Scale Bullet into his sleeves. He shouted loudly at the back of the yurt, "Demon General, since you are here, there is no need for you to hide any longer."
"Hahahaha! As expected of the strongest martial artist of the younger generation from the Murong Clan. You do have some skill with you."
Demon General Zhao Deyan's laughter rang out from behind the yurt.
His robes fluttered. Demon General, Priest, and Wan Wan appeared at the top of the yurt simultaneously and revealed themselves before the trio.
At the same time, the dense wave of Mongolian soldiers around them stopped moving, and they surrounded Happy and his group with their weapons drawn and ready for battle.
Silence fell among them.
Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling were stunned, and their expressions became solemn.
"My young enemy, how could you not greet me when you come here?" Wan Wan glared at Xu Zhiling in a manner as if there was no one around the area. Xu Zhiling looked a little embarrassed before he returned to normal, and he surveyed the area in high alert.
"Brother Happy, what should we do now?"
Happy looked at the trio who appeared, and he instantly felt much more relaxed. "As long as it's just those three, they won't be able to stop us.
"Young Master Zhong, Young Master Ling, as long as you help me hold back Demon General and the Priest for a while and help me create a chance for me to attack, once I burn the supplies, we will be able to use the chaos and leave."
"Seems a little hard." Xu Zhiling raised his head and looked at the crowd to his side. They had suddenly split up.
Happy and Kuo Zhong frowned at the same time, and their expressions sank as well, because they suddenly saw a curvaceous figure that caused their hearts to shudder appear, and she walked forth from among the Mongolian cavaliers at a leisurely pace.
Empress Yin!
Zhu Yuyan actually came here?!
'This is bad…'
Happy's first reaction to this was the situation was incredibly bad right now.
