Chapter 840 - Goal, Aru City
Chapter 840: Goal, Aru City
There were six hundred armored cavaliers outside the camp, and they stood guard on both sides of their commanders with stern expressions. The remaining twenty-five cavaliers, five medium-rank captains, and twenty junior-rank captains were dressed in new clothes and fierce-looking armor. They followed behind Happy while they were surrounded by extraordinary presences, and they never left his side, reflecting Happy in such a manner that he looked even more powerful and mighty.
“Haha!”
“Congrats!”
Chivalry Sect’s Wind Void, Lin Xiao, and Red Dust led a group of Chivalry Sect elites and walked into the path the six hundred cavaliers spontaneously cleared. Each of them had an excited smile on their faces, and when they looked at the energetic cavaliers by the side, they did not hide the excitement and harmless envy in their eyes.
At that moment, Wind Void, Lin Xiao, and Red Dust had already completed their task of becoming medium-rank captains, but their remaining points were not enough for them to get full cavalier units.
“Hehe, congrats to you too.” While Happy saluted them with a fist in his palm, he quickly jumped down from his horse. “Sect Master Void, Brother Lin, Brother Red, you’re all here.”
“How can we not come? This is something worthy of great joy!” Lin Xiao was the most straightforward of the trio, and he could no longer hold back from speaking when he was still far away. He grinned happily. “I originally thought that the two imperial court brats were the first to take the quests, but I didn’t expect you to strike after they took action. You acted even faster. At least, you managed to regain our dignity.”
When the trio approached them, the Chivalry Sect elites behind them were all fired up while they sized up the cavaliers by the side repeatedly.
“Now that you have more than six hundred cavaliers, we’ll be even more at ease. As long as we have them, the people from Class One Hall will not dare attack us.” Chivalry Sect had clearly obtained the information Mu Clan shared with them. They knew that if there were NPCs around the area, all those who attacked those with military titles with them will be hunted down, and once they died, not only will they increase their drop rate of their items, they will not be able to enter the Guanlin Temples after they died. Instead, they will be locked in the prisons in the local governor’s office for three days, which meant seventy-two hours.
Once the cavalier unit appeared, it meant that the situation for Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect had largely changed.
Once they spoke briefly with each other, the few people switched their topic to their current situation along with their attitude to Class One Hall.
“Brother Happy, Class One Hall is acting very aggressively right now. Do you have any good plans against them?”
“We’re still going by the same plan. We’ll have our brothers and sisters first get military titles and make sure that they’re invincible. Then, we’ll slowly hold Class One Hall accountable for what they did. Right now, we have a large cavalier unit. If we enter Aru City to save Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance, the possibility of us succeeding will increase by a significant degree,” Happy answered without hesitation.
Even though doing this will delay the time where they triggered the large-scale quest, Happy still did not want to give others the impression that Mu Clan will ignore their allies for their own development, or else, if he wanted Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Tower to stand beside him firmly in the future, it will be impossible.
“We’ll first be saving the trapped people from Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance? That’s good too!”
The trio looked at each other and nodded.
Wind Void spoke up after a period of thought, “Right now, Dream Clouds is a little frenzied. If she decides to attack regardless of the cost, it’ll be very easy for you to suffer great losses with just this bit of people. I’ll bring our brothers and sisters with you, and we can take care of each other.”
“That’s good too.” Happy did not refuse their offer.
After all, Class One Hall was not Towering Palace.
Every single member from Class One Hall was practically an elite, and they were very troublesome. There were more than ten thousand people guarding Aru City, and thousands of their people had also died and returned to the city. Right now, they should have around fifteen thousand people with them. It was indeed very difficult for Happy to rely on this bit of people and a group of NPC cavaliers to hold Dream Clouds back.
*****
Boom! BOOM!
When Mu Clan gathered together, they numbered to more than three thousand people. Happy led six hundred and twenty-five cavaliers, making the number go up to more than four thousand people. There were around five thousand people from Chivalry Sect. Wind and Rain Alliance numbered to nearly ten thousand. Along with the few Wind Assault Tower elites who remained, they gathered together an army of nearly twenty thousand. They rode on their horses and rushed to Aru City in an aggressive wave.
On their way, Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect’s elites were led personally by Red Dust and Silver Wolf to open up the path ahead of them, get rid of hidden sentries, and also ambushes.
The Class One Hall members did not dare stay and show their faces at all.
When the people who traveled out of Aru City with the intention of heading to the border saw this astonishing sight, they followed behind this army, causing the crowd to become even larger than before!
In less than an hour, more than one hundred thousand people arrived at the city, and they nearly caused the NPCs in Aru City serving as the guards to become tense and be on guard!
“Lunatic!”
“That mad man!”
There was no need to mention just how tense the Class One Hall members were.
Right now, they could not tell just how many people Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect gathered, but they knew that if they went out of the city to fight, they will definitely die.
In the end, the Class One Hall members, who had been wild and unruly for a long time, could only watch as the thousands of Wind Assault Tower, Wind and Rain Alliance, Mu Clan, and Chivalry Sect members they surrounded in the city all escape from danger and were led away by the large group.
They came in a mighty manner, and they left in in an imposing manner.
This time, it was the Class One Hall members who dared not leave Aru City readily.
*****
“I will definitely return you the favor of saving my life in the future, clan master.” Once Phantasmal Shadow and the people from Wind Assault Tower escaped from danger from Aru City, they had been in a pretty good mood.
Even though Class One Hall and Mu Clan never had war break out among them, Dream Clouds and Blood Robes’ death had already caused a seed of hatred that will never fade away be buried among the two top-class sects. This fuse will ignite at any moment now.
“Tower Master Shadow, it’ll be good if you’re more careful in the future when you do anything at all.” Happy nodded and reminded her with an indifferent tone. “I might be able to attack this one time, but I cannot guarantee that I will be free every single time. Class One Hall is a tough bone to chew, and we have to brew it for a long time before it will rot. If we’re too rash, it’ll be easy for it to burn our hands. Tower Master Shadow, what do you think?”
“I know. This time, it’s because Class One Hall is too domineering, and I don’t want to make Wind Assault Tower and Mu Clan lose their dignity, neither did I want them to act too preposterously.”
“I understand your thoughts. This time, you used thousands of points in exchange for more than forty thousand points from Class One Hall, and that’s a worthy sacrifice, but now that we’ve angered Class One Hall, we’ll not have an easy time. Tower Master Shadow, what do you have in mind?”
“If the four sects are united, there’s actually no need for us to be afraid of Class One Hall.”
Phantasmal Shadow could naturally hear that Happy was actually giving her a warning. Her eyes sparkled while her thoughts raced, and that was because she found it in herself that she could not quite accept this happening.
“We have already finished mobilizing all thirty thousand men from Wind Assault Tower, and they can march north at any moment! As long as you give the order, Class One Hall’s destruction will happen in a matter of time.”
“During the Emperor’s Announcement event, the branches cannot be damaged, and you should know this. If we fight against them now, we will only be fighting in a war of attrition against Class One Hall. Did you actually think that we can afford it?” Happy was a little angered. He cast Phantasmal Shadow a cold glance. “If it were not for the Emperor’s Announcement event protecting the branches, Mu Clan can easily take down Class One Hall within three months, but now that we’ve messed things up, if we end up with our core badly damaged, even if another three months pass after the first three months after the Emperor’s Announcement event, Mu Clan might still be unable to take down Class One Hall even if we want to.”
“I don’t understand. Clan Master Happy, aren’t you overestimating Class One Hall? With Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance’s help, along with your alliance with Mu Clan, don’t you think it’s enough for you to destroy Class One Hall?”
Wind Void, Night Rain Follows Wind, and Silver Wolf could hear the implications in their conversation.
Everyone could tell that Happy had already stated that he had plans to destroy Class One Hall, but Phantasmal Shadow was still conflicted by the current situation.
“It’s not that we can’t take them down, but we’ll need to pay a great price that we don’t need to. I don’t want to let others benefit from this out of the blue. Right now, there are plenty of allied sects in the Chinese server, and all of them are eyeing the territories belonging to the three great sects. I don’t want our territories to turn into other people’s property after we’ve fought to the point that we’re heavily wounded.
“No matter what you’re thinking, at the very least, in the current month, Mu Clan will not take the initiative to cause trouble to Class One Hall.”
Once he finished speaking, Happy sent a private message to the people around him. “After this one month, I will personally take action and make Class One Hall history.”
