The trio had killed most of the Mongolian cavaliers at that moment, and when they saw that Silver Wolf had led his army far into the distance, they did not dare be idle and linger around in the place. They activated their skill to fuse with their horses and dashed back from the direction where they came from to widen the distance between them and the Mongolian army.
"That felt amazing!"
He gained double points from all those kills, and he also killed two 1,000-man commanders. Happy instantly gained more than seven thousand points, and he felt very proud of himself.
But Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling's expressions fell.
"The Mongolian army has been fully deployed. We're in deep trouble now!"
"Yeah… It should be because we burned their supplies. Hu Bilie must know that once our operation in burning their supplies succeed, the Chinese army will definitely do something about it, which is why they decided to launch an attack before we return to our base."
Kuo Zhong stopped talking for a while and pointed at the sky.
"Do you see that? Even the sky has been locked down. Even the messenger pigeons we use to send messages won't be able to fly."
He looked to the direction where Kuo Zhong pointed, and Happy quickly noticed a few clear black dots on the blue sky. By the looks of it, they were the war eagles that the Mongolians reared.
They were a high-grade pet that can swiftly send messages and perform surveillance from up high. They can also hunt down the messenger pigeons from the Chinese plains.
"If the Chinese camp is completely unaware of this, they will definitely suffer huge losses!"
"That's right." Kuo Zhong s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath. "As expected, Hu Bilie isn't a normal person. If we can't send a message back to the camp in time, not only will our advantage in burning their supplies be rendered null, we will even descend into an even more dangerous situation!"
Chapter 880 - Mobilization of Troops, Noticed an Elite Squad
No messenger pigeon can be sent out. All messages cannot be sent in time.
When the Mongolian army chased after Happy and his group into the patrolling area of the Chinese cavaliers, it was only then that the Chinese camp finally reacted to the situation.
Aside from having their main force charge straight into the Chinese camp, the Mongolian army also had two teams numbering to the one hundred thousand quickly block the charges from the Chinese cavaliers attacking them from the flanks. They destroyed the plans of the Chinese cavaliers, who thought that they could intercept the Mongolian army. Then, the Mongolian army drove straight into the Chinese camp, and the entire plains descended into a chaotic battle.
It was a fierce battle, and the martial artists could not interfere with it at all.
Many people were killed within less than a minute when they entered the battlefield, and they did not even know where those weapons came from.
Some of them were pushed down to the ground by an injured Mongolian cavalier who came flying at their faces. Then, they will have their faces by countless hooves.
The battlefield turned into a grave for many people!
There were Mongolian players and evil cult elites mixed among the Mongolian army.
They followed behind the army and pounced at the Chinese crowd madly to harvest their lives.
The Chinese side was struck by tragedy after tragedy.
More than four hundred thousand people from the Chinese army died in the first charge.
They lost most of their two hundred thousand cavaliers, and their logistics camp was forcefully invaded by a group of people, which led to their supplies being destroyed.
The exchange for points was put to a temporary halt.
At the same time, everyone received a dignified system notification telling them that they received a quest.
"Chase away the Tatars and protect your country!
"The players who kill at least five Mongolian cavaliers will either be promoted to a 5-man commander or receive one hundred points!
"This is a special period of the quest. You will gain double points during the quest.
"With each normal Mongolian cavalier you kill, you will gain twenty points. You will gain double points for all the other enemies listed in the event as well."
As a large number of Chinese elites went up against the Mongolian army, the Chinese side finally gained their foothold in the battle, but they only managed to do so at a gradual pace. Once the Chinese side launched a counterattack, both sides descended into a stalemate.
*****
"Immediately mobilize forces into the plains!
"Hurry up! Do it immediately!"
Even though Dream Clouds was among the group of people who managed to escape from the flames of war in time, when she returned to the Chinese camp, she heard the system announce a group quest, and her burned instantly burned with great excitement. She quickly released her orders.
"All those who can come, hurry up and come back!
"As for you lot, you will fight with me immediately.
"Remember this, prioritize protecting yourselves. Set your first goal as killing at least five Mongolian cavaliers."
At the same time Dream Clouds released her orders, Blood Robes, Barren Murderer, and the group of people who followed her had their blood burn with excitement.
They did not expect that when they made the decision to completely give up on the Emperor's Announcement event, the system would launch such a large-scale group quest.
This was basically the system handing over military titles to the players.
The Mongolian cavaliers were only worth ten points at any other moment, but now, they were worth double. Those without military titles will even get four times those points.
Class One Hall could use this rare chance to get a large group of their people promoted, and from there, they can achieve their goal of being able to fight against Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance on equal grounds.
"Did you hear?! Immediately send word! Mobilize your forces!"
"We're all entering the plains!"
Blood Robes and Barren Murderer's shouts practically drowned out the thunderous hooves and the rumbling sounds from the ground.
The players who received the news rushed into the battlefield as if they had gone mad.
This was a group quest that gave them double points!
Everyone began having dreams of grandeur and prosperity.
However, Happy was the exception.
From the moment the system announced the double point event, his heart let out an uneasy thump.
There were a large number of evil cult elites and Mongolian players mixed among the Mongolian army.
Even though the Chinese side had a lot of players with them, if they chose to fight against the Mongolian army when they were at their most intimidating and when two armies launched a charge against each other, it will be the same as them marching to their own deaths.
The people from Class One Hall might be dozens of miles away, but when they rushed here, they will benefit from the situation because all they needed to do was to kill off the Mongolians weakened by the previous attacks from the other soldiers and players.
That meant that while their morale was high, they will go up against the Mongolian cavaliers, whose morale will begin to diminish.
When he thought of this, Happy's heart tensed up, and he shouted, "Silver Wolf, immediately notify all our members and tell them not to be involved in the battle for ten minutes!"
"Doing it." Silver Wolf was from the military. Even though he did not have a huge understanding about the charges from the ancient Mongolian cavaliers, he knew the implications of war more so than the layman, and he knew that no one can block the Mongolian army's charge right now.
Happy drove his horse to Red Dust's side.
"Brother Red Dust, please notify your sect members and our friends from Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance. Have them all leave the battlefield and gat
her at the back!"
"Got it!"
When Red Dust saw the somber expression on Happy's face, he knew that something major must have happened. He did not even ask for the reason, but just quickly nodded and called for his sect members around him to help him contact those who needed to be informed.
Happy never stopped moving. He quickly released a messenger pigeon and contacted All-powerful Medicinal Stone, who was in Aru City.
[Old man, did Class One Hall do anything?]
[I was just about to write a letter to you!
[I'm currently moving in the crowd with them.
[Be careful on your side!]
All-powerful Medicinal Stone replied very quickly.
'I knew it!'
Happy s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath, and he handed the letter in his hands to Red Dust.
Once Red Dust took a glance at it, his expression immediately changed.
"Class One Hall is about to throw everything they have into this battle and fight for points and military titles!"
Before he even finished speaking, Silver Wolf had already taken the letter from his hands.
He scowled. Then, he looked at Happy. "Happy, are you implying…?"
There was a murderous look in his eyes that was rather similar to Happy's.
Happy's tone was firm, and he spoke clearly, "No matter what, we can't let them have the chance to regain their position on the plains. Even if we give up on this group quest, we must not let Class One Hall succeed!"
"That's right!"
His suggestion quickly gained Red Dust's support, who gritted his teeth and said, "Class One Hall already has a lot of people to begin with. We've finally gained the upper hand over them. That's why we can't let them enter the plains and regain their title as the lords here. At that time, we'll have a difficult time when we try to leave."
"Right now, everyone is busy with the war. No one will pay attention to us.
"Red Dust, Silver Wolf, immediately contact our friends from the four sects and tell them to gather here. We'll make preparations to intercept all those Class One Hall members who want to enter the plains from Aru City!"
While he spoke, Happy did not bother hiding the killing intent from his voice.
"Got it!"
At that moment, Red Dust received a messenger pigeon, and when he opened it, he cast a glance at it, and he quickly widened his eyes. "Happy!"
"What is it?"
"Our men noticed a group led by Dream Clouds and Blood Robes. There are about three hundred of them there, and the higher ups seem to all be in that group! There are nearly two thousand cavaliers among them."
When Red Dust blurted out the sudden news, not only did he stun Happy and Silver Wolf, even the elites from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect all placed their attention on him.
Silence fell among the group for a while.
Then, Happy spoke a little slower than before. "Where did they notice the group?"
"They're not too far away from here, and they're slaughtering the cavaliers at the edge of the Mongolian army.
"The ones who discovered them are my clan master and Big Brother Lin. They also received the quest to harass the flanks, and they rushed over here while they were half way through their quest. Dream Clouds doesn't seem to have noticed them.
"Happy, why don't we…?"
"We'll do it!" Happy's heart instantly began burning with anticipation. "Silver Wolf, I'll let you be in charge of gathering all the people here.
"Have all our cavaliers stay in this place!
"Red Dust, lead the way!"
Chapter 881 - Easy Prey! Crush Them!
Class One Hall was indeed lucky!
At their most critical moment during the event, they ran into a group quest that granted them double points, and they will be able to easily obtain a lot of points. Military titles will even be handed to them on a silver platter.
However, during the early stage of the quest, they were suppressed too brutally by Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance. Only Barren Murderer and a handful of them were able to gain military titles.
Over the past few days, the number of cavaliers they managed to mobilize was also pitifully low in number, and they had fewer than two thousand cavaliers on their side.
When they faced the charge from the Mongolian army which came at them with the force of a tidal wave, the two thousand cavaliers under Class One Hall were not enough to stand up against them.
"Hall master, we won't be able to last!" Blood Robes shouted repeatedly at the front of the group. "It's better if we retreat now!"
Before the Mongolian army's first charge even touched them, the arrow shower that blotted out the sky and earth had already destroyed hundreds of Class One Hall's cavaliers. Their second wave of attacks came in the form of hatchets flying at them and massacring their people. In an instant, there were only a few hundred miserable cavaliers left by their side.
Even though they pounced into the enemy army, they lost more than twenty of the three hundred elites they had on their side, and it all happened in an instant.
Even so, they did not manage to kill even three hundred of those cavaliers.
"No!"
Dream Clouds sacrificed more than one thousand cavaliers before they managed to rush into the enemy fray. There was no way she will give up so easily. She shouted loudly and angrily, "This place is the only place that is rather out of the way from the Mongolian main force. We can't go to any other place!
"Blood Robes, Barren Murderer, Evil Wolf, Monk, you will follow me to kill the evil cult elites and the enemies who rank above 1,000-man commanders!
"All others, form your own groups and work together to get points!"
"Understood!" The entire group answered to her call.
Indeed, the only ones who will be of any threat to the lives of the core members from Class One Hall were the evil cult elites and high-ranking enemy generals mixed in the army. As long as they could hold back this group of people, their three hundred elites will have not much of a problem in fighting against the charge launched by the normal Mongolian cavaliers.
Besides, Dream Clouds knew very clearly that the plains was still currently under the control of the four sects. Before Class One Hall's army entered the plains, they cannot head to places where there were many people.
This place was far away from the main battle, and it was perfect for them to get points.
'Damn it, they actually sent seven elites at the peak of Inaction Realm and more than evil cult elites in one go…?'
During the chaos of war, Dream Clouds still felt an unprecedented pressure on her shoulders.
At any other moment, it will be incredibly easy for her to fight against a martial artist at the peak of Inaction Realm, but this was the battlefield, and there might be weapons or arrows coming at them from everywhere at any moment. All those will catch them off guard, which was why they had to be extremely careful with each step they took, and they must preserve enough to protect themselves, which made the battle incredibly troublesome.
Even so, the idea of double points was still enough to make the crowd extremely excited. Once they did not have to deal with the evil cult elites, the speed in which they gained points came at them at an incredibly fast pace.
Three hundred Class One Hall members stood back to back and formed a circle formation to gradually block the Mongolian cavaliers' charge, which they launched around them.
But this good situation did not last.
"Someone's coming!"
'Oh no!' Dream Clouds immediately noticed that the situation was not good for them.
For some reason, she suddenly had Happy's face appear in a flash in her mind, and fear seized her heart.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A round of incredibly violent arrow showers appeared in the air and descended from the sky to pierce through the ground.
"Everyone, be careful!"
But even though Class One Hall gave a reminder in time
…
Thud! Thud!
When the fierce arrow shower suddenly descended from the sky, it had, by some strange coincidence, gathered together to land in one spot. It was as if they had locked down on their target in the air. Because of it, more than ten Class One Hall core members were shot full of arrows on the spot.
Class One Hall's defense line broke!
The Mongolian cavaliers shouted and charged into the midst of the Class One Hall players.
Rumble!
With the force of a cannonball crashing through a bamboo forest, the evil cult elites charged into Class One Hall's circle formation.
The formation broke!
The two hundred Class One Hall members in the circle formation were instantly caught in a difficult battle.
"Break out! We have to rush out of the encirclement!"
When she saw how the attack from the arrow shower, Dream Clouds already knew that her mortal enemy had already arrived. Even though her face was pale and her expression sour, she still quickly gave her orders.
It was a pity that the person who was currently not among the cavaliers did not intend to give them the chance.
During the chaotic battle, dozens of people were accurately pierced through by the sharp and fierce arrow shower. Dream Clouds, Blood Robes, and Barren Murderer no longer dared to continue fighting against the evil cult elders. They served as rear guards and helped their hall members break out of the encirclement with everything that they had.
But unfortunately for them, at that moment, an astonishing presence that came out of nowhere and was fused with a sharp sword qi that brought fear to the people's hearts abruptly appeared above the battlefield!
Ten Thousand Sword Styles!
Countless waves of sword qi that moved about freely appeared in the air.
The dense waves of sword qi instantly intersected with each other to form a huge vortex made of sword qi to appear among the Class One Hall elites who were busy with breaking out of the encirclement.
