But there was smoke all around the place, and it was noisy. There weren't a lot of people who can actually see. As thick smoke quickly spread out into the area, many people ran out of the camp, and the horses were also useless. They were so terrified by the flames that they ran all over the place and crashed into everyone everywhere. Those who had smoke get into their eyes did not even look into which direction they headed. As if they had been possessed, they descended into chaos, which quickly spread through the entire camp.
Demon General saw that the situation had taken a turn for the worse.
"Retreat!"
A large group of Mongolian soldiers looked as if they had been forgiven of a great sin. All of them ran while shoving into each other, and they were covered in soot, making them look like laborers who just crawled out of caves.
When they retreated, there was no longer any way they can keep their eyes on where Happy was.
"Hmph!"
He had been waiting and enduring all this smoke for so long, and it was all for this moment.
He tapped against the ground and quickly shot out of the thick smoke from the sea of fire to flee in the opposite direction. He ran about in the thick smoke and mingled around a group of Mongolian cavaliers who covered their faces while they fled, coughing as he escaped.
Once he left the crowd, Happy said nothing else and searched for a remote area to summon his Hoof Shadow. He activated his skill to fuse with his horse and made his horse gallop forth madly.
Even if the Mongolian cavaliers around him managed to tell that the person who was as black as ink was Happy, they did not have the strength to deal with him even if they wanted to right now.
"He's—cough—here—"
"After him!"
"Quick! After him!"
Unfortunately, most of their war horses had already either died inside because of the hitching posts stopping them from running away or will not listen to their commands. When they fired their arrows, they will also have dozens of their own people die. In the end, the large group of Mongolians can only watch as Happy quickly rode on his horse and vanished from the horizon.
Chapter 878 - Violent Wind and Bloody Rain’s Determination
Right when Happy was breaking out of the Mongolian logistics camp and Silver Wolf had not completed his quest in bothering the enemy flank, Silver Wolf did not know that another batch of people were on a high spot on a slope in the distance, and they were watching his fight against the ten thousand cavaliers with frowns on their faces.
"No! Hall Master Dream, I, Violent Wind and Bloody Rain, can protect your elites to come to the Mongolian camp to carry out your quest, and I can also help you in creating an environment for you where you can get points, but if you want me to bring my troops to launch an ambush against Mu Clan with your people? I'd rather you just kill me."
A tall and built man had his back turned to the various elites from Class One Hall while he stood on the slope. His eyes shone with a cold and resolute glare.
Behind him were Dream Clouds, Blood Robes, Barren Murderer, a group of higher ups from Class One Hall, and hundreds of core members. They stared at Violent Wind and Bloody Rain with hostile expressions while they tried to coerce Violent Wind and Bloody Rain to agree to their plan.
"Violent Wind, you know that I, Dream Clouds, have never gone back on my word. As long as you help me get rid of the people down below, I will give you a spot as an elder in Class One Hall, and you will get at least one hundred thousand RMB every month. You can also enjoy quite a lot of resources that only our higher ups can get."
Violent Wind and Bloody Rain stared at the battlefield in the distance below him. He answered without even turning his head around, "Hall Master Dream, please don't try to use those words on me. I promised to bring you here just now because you had few people with you, and it's not easy to catch too many people's attention. Besides, you already said that you only want to come here to do your quests, and if you see the people from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect, you will log off to avoid them.
"Now, you want me to take the lead in the attack? Hah! Dream on!"
He stopped talking for a moment. Then, Violent Wind and Bloody Rain's tone changed. "Even though your influence in the north is great and no one dares offend you, I am not located in the north. At most, I won't come and play in the north anymore.
"But you want me to fight against the people from Mu Clan?
"I'm sorry, but I'm not that stupid. Right now, the entire south, Changjiang River Basin, West Region, and the coastal area is within Mu Clan's jurisdiction.
"Heh, I won't get into this swamp with you."
"You!" Barren Murderer was so exasperated that he wanted to cut him down. But while he was livid, he truly did not swing his weapon against Violent Wind and Bloody Rain right now.
Two, Violent Wind and Bloody Rain escorted them to this place, and he can be considered to have done them a favor. If they killed him just because Violent Wind and Bloody Rain refused to work with them, it will make them seem inhumane.
Violent Wind and Bloody Rain saw through this, and he continued speaking coldly, "After all, you still have your ally from Sky Penetrating Tower. Go to Langye and have him bring his people to help you kill those from Mu Clan. I'd like to see whether he has that courage to do so or not."
Dream Clouds and Blood Robes immediately scowled, but they kept quiet.
'This Violent Wind and Bloody Rain is really not easy to fool…'
In truth, they had already gone to Langye before.
But the bastard was the embodiment of a person who was easily swayed depending on the situation. When he saw Class One Hall's one hundred thousand members being forced to withdraw repeatedly and being bullied by the four sects to the point that they could fart in their faces and Class One Hall will not dare do anything, Langye dodged Class One Hall's requests for help by using his own quests as a reason.
Even this time, when they asked Langye to help provide them cover, Langye used a whole slew of excuses to turn them down and even said that the people from the four sects were definitely keeping a close eye on his actions.
In the end, Langye did not join this collaboration.
Forget about fighting against Mu Clan.
Dream Clouds said nothing but sighed. She knew that it was practically impossible to have Violent Wind and Bloody Rain provide them cover to help them kill those from Mu Clan.
But if her own people—numbering only to the hundreds—were to rush down and fight head on against Mu Clan, they will be in grave danger as well.
It had to be known that all the people down there had military titles.
If they took the initiative to attack, all of them will be hunted.
Dream Clouds s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath. Perhaps it was also good for them to not take any action. If Happy were here, then all the higher ups from Class One Hall will die, and they will be locked up for seventy-two hours. The defense line Class One Hall set up in the north will crumble without anyone attacking them, and when they were eventually released, the north will already be swallowed by Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance working together.
"Alright, we'll not mention this matter." Dream Clouds changed her tone. "Since Mu Clan is doing their quest over here, we'll change locations—"
"Based on the agreement we made earlier, I am only in charge of escorting you near the Mongolian camp. You will be doing your own quests.
"I don't want the people from Mu Clan seeing me walk together with you. So, I'll be bringing my cavaliers to do my quest somewhere else," Violent Wind and Bloody Rain said coldly.
"Don't go overboard…" Barren Murderer had killing intent shine in his eyes.
There were fewer than three thousand cavaliers in total here. If Violent Wind and Bloody Rain took away a large group with him, while they will still be able to do their quest with just a little more than two thousand people, it was too dangerous, and they will also suffer a lot more casualties.
<
br /> But Violent Wind and Bloody Rain was not an easy person to deal with. "When we came over here, you personally agreed that if we find any team from the four sects, I can go away anytime I want. I will have nothing to do with you, so are you trying to go back on your word right now? I'm telling you, I have a recording."
Once he said those words, Blood Robes and Dream Clouds, who were people who loved their reputation and dignity, instantly fell silent.
Class One Hall's golden label as a top-class sect must not be ruined.
"Alright, you can leave." Dream Clouds waved her hand with a calm expression, telling Violent Wind and Bloody Rain to go.
"Hall master!" Barren Murderer wanted to continue trying to coerce Violent Wind and Bloody Rain into helping them, but Dream Clouds interrupted him with a raised hand.
Violent Wind and Bloody Rain did not waste any of his time with any trivialities anymore either. He summoned his people unhesitatingly and left with his six hundred cavaliers. He did not even bother saying goodbye to Class One Hall.
"...That bastard!" Blood Robes spat out those words through clenched teeth.
Dream Clouds s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and stared at Violent Wind and Bloody Rain's gradually retreating back coldly. "From the moment we saw the people from Mu Clan, he already made his decision to leave. No matter how we try to persuade him, it won't work."
"But…"
"No buts. Violent Wind and Bloody Rain won't dare to get involved in the fight between us and Mu Clan, because Class One Hall has already lost too many times. We have never won against Mu Clan and Happy in a direct confrontation before."
Dream Clouds' words caused the people behind her to fall silent.
"That is the case for Langye, and it is the same case with Violent Wind and Bloody Rain."
"We had one hundred thousand members chased out of the plains this time, and many people believe that the situation is already set in stone. It's indeed wishful thinking if we want them to fight against Mu Clan right now."
"Hall master, we still have a chance!" said someone behind her.
Dream Clouds shook her head indifferently. "We have none.
"I thought that Happy will start to have all his forces lock down on the resources for points at the frontlines. I didn't expect that he will send a group of elites to come here and carry out a quest to harass the flank. He's not letting the points from either side go.
"Our only chance in getting points by sneaking to the Mongolian camp is gone now as well."
Blood Robes and Barren Murderer instantly fell silent.
"We will leave the plains and give up on the Emperor's Announcement event."
As she stood on the slope of the plains, Dream Clouds made a decision that no one expected.
Chapter 879 - The Mongolian Army Attacks
From the moment he broke out of the encirclement in the Mongolian army, the system notification that rang in Happy's mind caused Happy to be incredibly excited.
"Ding!
"Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling successfully escaped. You perfectly completed the spontaneous quest.
"You successfully shook off Empress Yin and Demon General's pursuit. Completed quest to burn the supplies in the logistics camp!"
As he expected, the notification for the completion of the quest will only be given to him after he successfully broke out of the encirclement. While Happy maintained executing his skill in fusing with his horse and galloped forth quickly, he determined his location and was prepared to return to the camp.
The quest this time not only allowed him to secure his seat as a battalion commander, he also received an extra fifty thousand points!
Also, during this period of time, he killed at least two hundred Mongolian cavaliers and even burned or caused Mongolian cavaliers to die of asphyxiation because of the smoke. All those deaths were considered part of Happy's achievements, and he gained more than five thousand points.
When he returned to the camp, he can absolutely get a full battalion of two thousand cavaliers in his team now.
'I wonder how Silver Wolf's side is doing.'
When he thought of this, Happy suddenly remembered that Silver Wolf had a quest to harass the flank, and he might not have killed all ten thousand of those cavaliers.
He tentatively turned his head around to look at the smoke rolling off the logistics camp. The people chasing after him had already completely disappeared, and he relaxed. 'I'll go over and take a look. Let's hope those brats didn't just send all my cavaliers to their deaths.'
Happy prayed silently.
In fewer than ten minutes, he got close to the Mongolian camp.
All of a sudden…
Rumble...
All of a sudden, the ground trembled madly. The tremors were frequent and violent. An astonishing momentum surged forth from the direction of the Mongolian camp, and it was accompanied by an excited blare from a horn sounded at a low timber, along with roars that sounded as if they came from wild beasts.
'What's going on?'
Happy noticed it immediately. This was definitely not a momentum that can be stirred up by the few cavaliers on Silver Wolf's side and the ten thousand cavaliers fighting against them. His heart tensed, and he quickly tightened his grip over the reins.
"Giddy-up!"
He changed his direction and rushed to a high spot nearby.
For some reason, he suddenly had a flash of unease in his heart.
Right when he rushed up there, a terrifying scene that made Happy's suck in a sharp breath was reflected in his eyes.
Rumble!
RUMBLE!
Silver Wolf and Red Dust led the remnant forces in their army—only in the thousands—and were chased by the one thousand or so Mongolian cavaliers behind them. They fled one-third of a mile in front of the Mongolian army, and Happy can even see the fear as well as sweat on their faces clearly. Their horses moved their feet wildly, and they ran to where Happy was desperately.
And not too far away in the distance were around two thousand Mongolian cavaliers chasing after a cavalier battalion that numbered to the hundreds. They were also as fierce as demons in their pursuit, and the people they chased after looked as if they wanted to cast away their armor so that they can be lighter and flee even faster for their lives.
It was the apocalypse!
To them, the Mongolian army that covered the land and blotted out the sky at the back were demons who can destroy everything in the world. If they were slower by even one step, they might be completely devoured.
In an instant, Happy knew that he was in huge trouble this time, and his face turned incredibly pale.
At the same time, Silver Wolf and the rest, who were fleeing in frenzy on the ground further ahead, also saw Happy on the slope. Joy showed up on their faces, but that joy soon faded away while they shouted.
"Happy, run! The Mongolian army has deployed their troops en masse, and they want to kill all the people at the frontlines on the plains!
"Run! Or you'll die here!"
At the same time Silver Wolf shouted a reminder, he noticed the Mongolian cavaliers behind him drawing their bows nonstop and throwing their hatchets. The NPC cavaliers were like still targets. During the mad dash, they fell off their horses and died one after another, and the situation right now was incredibly perilous for them.
There were only around one thousand Mongolian cavaliers behind them. At any other moment, the four hundred people below Happy will be able to deal with them with one single charge.
But now, everybody knew that if they stopped for even a moment, there will not just be one thousand people chasing after them, but a few hundred thousand cavaliers spread all over the land will go after their lives!
That was why no one dared to stop.
However, with the current rhythm of the chase, very soon, those thousands of cavaliers will completely wipe out all the remaining one thousand cavaliers on their side!
In fact, they will even threaten the lives of the four hundred elites
from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect.
When he saw this, Happy cannot just stand by and watch.
"Giddy-up!"
A clear crack of the whip rose, and a horse as well as its rider charged down swiftly from the slope.
"Boss Happy!"
"Happy!"
"Clan master!"
The group of people noticed Happy's arrival, and they were incredibly excited.
Some of them were even prepared to turn around, but Silver Wolf immediately shouted at them to turn around, "If you don't want to die, continue fleeing!"
"Come back! There are a few hundred thousand of those Mongolian cavaliers, and do you think that you can kill all of them?! Happy is going to serve as our rear guard!
"Brothers and sisters, continue fleeing at full speed!"
Red Dust managed to see through Happy's goal, and he quickly shouted at the top of his voice for his sect members to continue running.
But Happy did not expect that even when those two people already shouted their warnings, two riders still charged out of the team.
"Go ba—Huh?"
Right when he was about to tell those people to turn around, Happy's words suddenly died at the tip of his tongue. He stared incredulously at the riders in front of him, who happened to be Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling.
"It's you?!"
"Heheh… There's no way we'd show such a lack of chivalry and cast you aside, right?"
Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling cackled.
Then, the trio rushed into the midst of the one thousand Mongolian pursuers in one fell swoop.
With just one Shifting Stars, no fewer than one hundred Mongolian cavaliers died!
Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling each killed the Mongolian cavaliers from one side, and very soon, they killed more than one hundred cavaliers.
Happy brought out his Dragon Saber and executed Ten Styles for War straightaway to harvest the cavaliers' lives madly.
Very soon, one thousand cavaliers were cut to pieces.
However, while they only needed a short time to deal with the cavaliers through one-sixth of a mile, the cavaliers who covered the entire expanse of the earth instantly closed in on them.
