"They're prepared to attack our elites one by one! All Dragon Sect elites, return and defend yourself! Towering Palace members, protect them!"
When they saw that the advantage they built had come to a screeching halt and that the forces Mu Clan reorganized had started showing signs that they will seize control over the backyard once more, Vast Heaven continuously fired Six Pulses Divine Sword and disrupted the battle situation while he shouted orders to retreat.
At the same time, Mu Clan had already regrouped for battle and launched their second wave of offense!
With whistles that could topple mountains, all of Yangzhou City descended into a loud sea of sound formed by the cries of murder. Firelight surged into the sky, and the clashing of weapons could be heard. Arrow showers sliced through the sky, and the frequency in which it happened caused countless people's souls to shudder.
Silver Wolf stood on the roof and continued to have his brothers from all around him fight against Towering Palace and Class One Hall's charges in an orderly fashion. He was not at all affected by the gradually increasing number of deaths and wounded.
Right from the start, he knew that this night will be very difficult!
Deaths and casualties cannot be avoided.
But since the moment they started fighting, the frequency in which Mu Clan's members were injured or died was not high, and it was still acceptable.
Mu Clan's casualties might have already reached more than one hundred, but they had caused nearly two thousand deaths to Towering Palace and Class One Hall.
This was a one to twenty ratio, and it was very impressive!
Besides, there was always scale weighing the losses in Silver Wolf's heart!
He knew clearly that there were only about ten people who could truly threaten Mu Clan.
As long as they could kill these people, the others were not a problem. Even if they had to fight against swarms of enemies, as long as they continued taking in medicinal pills, the thousands of great fighters in Mu Clan might not be at a disadvantage.
Hence, even though Towering Palace and Class One Hall tried to increase the pressure on the branch and launched the second wave of offense, Silver Wolf remained unperturbed. He gave calm orders in a composed manner.
Even with Vast Heaven's commands, the Dragon Sect elites and Towering Palace elites at the backyard had drawn back a little, and they were all blocked by Little North's swift kills.
But their actions led to a chance for Wind Chimes to launch AOE attacks!
The elites from Mu Clan were gathered together in comparison. They fought against Vast Heaven and the others as they pushed forward, and they blocked them outside their defense line firmly!
Waves of powerful sound blades shot forward from the zither strings, and the sword qis from Six Pulses Divine Sword were destroyed in the air. The remaining force continuously crashed against the Dragon Sect elites in the area.
Arrow showers moved like locusts, and most of them killed the Towering Palace elites who shot forward from behind the enemy lines.
Vast Heaven and his group might have occupied half of the area in the backyard, but when they had to face Mu Clan's tenacious resistance and the demonic sounds that traveled everywhere, they still felt endless pressure.
A scream of pain rose. A blood red lightning bolt quickly returned gold in the crowd before it returned to Little North's bamboo tube in a flash.
Little North smiled smugly. "Seventh!"
He put away the bamboo tube, and Little North hid himself in the crowd once more.
He had managed to kill at least seven elites with unknown identities in this assasination, along with a similar number of Towering Palace elites.
But there were still a lot of Dragon Sect elites remaining, and he could not approach Vast Heaven and the others as well.
The Mu Clan members who had to fight against Vast Heaven and the others faced the greatest pressure! Sword qi flew everywhere, and the weapon shadows and lights had practically gathered together to turn into a meat grinder.
Most of the Mu Clan elites who died died in their hands.
If it were not because of how good their equipment were and how they took turns to take up the task of defending the branch, perhaps there will be even more deaths!
"Use Origin Leopard Pills!"
Silver Wolf saw how urgent the situation was from the roof. Wind Chimes' demonic sounds had gradually lost their element of surprise, and then, Towering Palace's line began to gradually push forward once more. He quickly turned his head around to give his orders.
The archers who were tasked to protect the hall, corridors, and roofs around them brought up their powerful bows and nocked their arrows.
The arrows flew into the crowd from above like a violent storm!
Since night until day, more than one hundred people had joined Happy on the empty government-made road. They charged down like the wind, and with loud thundering rumbles, they headed east.
On the way, the elites from various branches in the south will follow them.
Even though they did not receive any notification from Mu Clan, these people still joined Happy's team on their own. These people were elites from the cities in the south, and they had friends or comrades who were sent to Mu Clan's branch in Yangzhou City. They, too, know just how urgent the situation was in Yangzhou.
Happy could not refuse these people's requests, and it was especially so when he received messenger pigeons telling him that Class One Hall's people had already publicly worked together with Towering Palace under Blood Robes to attack Mu Clan's branch. While he was on his way, Happy's expression grew darker and grimmer.
He continued releasing order after order while on horseback.
Thunderous Battle also began working nonstop while he was at Mu Clan's headquarters, which was thousands of miles away in Baokang.
With Happy's reminder, he frequently mobilized their forces and the forces from their allied sects to head to the borders of Mu Clan's territory and release warnings to prepare for battle.
Dozens of elites from the branches who were close to Class One Hall in the north and Towering Palace in the east had been fully mobilized. While they increased their guard and entered battle preparation, with the help from many sects, they kept a tight surveillance over the mobilization of forces from Class One Hall and Towering Palace's branches.
Aside from that, Happy's orders also extended to the south!
Zhenjiang was a city in Guangdong, which was a part of the coastal area.
Ever since the incident with Three Dragons Guild, Towering Palace's prestige in this place had fallen from the state of a local lord to merely being at the same status as a local large sect. Then, when Mu Clan's relationship with Towering Palace became better, their prestige over here gradually recovered.
However, this situation did not last for long.
Once the news of Mu Clan building their branch in Yangzhou spread out, all the members in the branch from Towering Palace became much more cautious. There were much fewer members who went out to carry out quests or various activities.
Because they knew that war broke out at Yangzhou City, the relationship between Towering Palace and Mu Clan will drop to its lowest!
Right now, even though most of the cities in the coastal area in the south were still in Towering Palace's control, some of the cities in the middle had coincidentally been captured by Mu Clan, and up to this moment, they had not been retrieved.
That was not all. The entire south had already become Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect's world.
Even if Towering Palace and Class One Hall truly worked together to pull Mu Clan down from its position as the top sect in the Chinese server, to the cities in the south, they will not have a good time.
Ever since the incident with Three Dragons Guild, Towering Palace's position as the leader of the coastal area had been brought to question by the people, and their title as the local lord was no longer firmly in their hands.
Even Towering Palace itself noticed that their own foundation was not strong enough!
Hence, when they learned of the general idea of what happened in Yangzhou City, most of them chose to watch or take up a defensive stance. If anything went wrong, they will immediately log off or hide in restaurants.
But Zhenjiang was further away, and the resources were rather abundant here. Towering Palace had also forcibly attacked in the past to retrieve two resource points which had fallen into other sects' hands. They frequently held all sorts of activities here.
However, when the day started growing brighter, the branch in Zhenjiang suddenly received an alarm telling them they had an ambush!
Countless Towering Palace members received black messenger pigeons warning them of their plight, and the members in the branch cast a glance outside with terror in their hearts.
The area outside was full of a black mass of people!
But they were not people from Mu Clan. Instead, they were the two local sects who had lost their resource points not too long ago.. With their weapons drawn, they surrounded the entire branch with hostility raging in their hearts.
