Chapter 855: Class One Hall’s Sleepless Night

The system notification arrived.

“The Prince of Qin is in charge of scouting, but he didn’t manage to notice Zhao Deyan’s forces in time and send a message to warn the camp. The marshal is very displeased about this, and the Prince of Qin has been humiliated because of this as well. The Prince of Qin guesses that the reconnoiterers might have run into a disaster. But unfortunately for him, his subordinates are not good with battles at night. Hence, he can only ask for help from Kind Boathouse’s Shi Feixuan and hopes that Shi Feixuan can help him survey the situation with his scouts.

“Will you agree to Shi Feixuan’s request and head out of the camp to patrol the area with her so that you can figure out the reason behind why the reconnoiterers cannot send their warning in time?

“If you accept this quest and successfully find the reason behind why the warning signals were not delivered in time as well as the evil cult elites who attacked them, you will gain Shi Feixuan’s favor.

“If you refuse this quest, your relationship with Shi Feixuan will become cold.”

“The moon is dim, and the wind is strong. It is a night for killing. There’s a high possibility that the evil cult is waiting for us to go over on the plains. I cannot bear to let you go alone. I wouldn’t dare request going out with you, but leaving the camp to figure out the situation is precisely what I want.”

Even if the threat of their relationship going stale did not appear, Happy will definitely not refuse Shi Feixuan’s request. He laughed heartily and agreed to this naturally.

“Miss Shi, this way, please.”

“Thank you for lending me your hand, Young Swordsman Happy.”

Shi Feixuan nodded while emotions flickered in her eyes. She extended her pale and petite hand before she patted her white Dragon Horses’ back lightly. The horse instantly understood her meaning. It let out a pleased neigh and moved its legs to rush out of the dark plains.

“Please follow me.”

Before her voice faded away, Happy had already clamped his thighs around the horse and chased after her.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The clear gallops soon fused together and quickly left into the depths of the plains.

After Zhao Deyan caused such a ruckus in the Chinese army, the army increased their guard within a circular area of six miles. The number of patrolling cavaliers increased by leaps and bounds. Martial artists can be heard moving everywhere on the plains.

At that moment, the people more or less already obtained the reason behind why Class One Hall was defeated from the people who returned to the place.

It was because of Demon General Zhao Deyan!

Happy and Zhao Deyan charged into Class One Hall’s main forces one after another. They continued attacking them one after another, causing thirty thousand people to die an untimely death. They did not even find the people from the four sects and returned to the main camp in a pathetic fashion.

Even though Class One Hall’s intentional act of revealing the process of the battle was to cover up their loss and give themselves an excuse, there were a few people who thought about this and questioned their statement.

Zhao Deyan was just a normal Myth Realm elite.

As a top-class sect who killed Nine-tailed fox, why was Class One Hall unable to kill a Myth Realm elite with one hundred thousand people by their side?

Their enemy was one Myth Realm elite and one Moksha Realm elite.

And they faced the giant that was Class One Hall.

Even the people from Class One Hall mentioned that they did not see even the shadow of a single person from the four sects. They should have all logged off to avoid danger.

And yet Class One Hall still lost entirely in this sort of situation?

Class One Hall’s act of explaining the situation did not provide the effect of mending their shattered reputation, but instead, it made others question whether Nine-tailed Fox, who only appeared for a brief instant in the game, was injured badly by the imperial court before it landed in Class One Hall’s hands and allowed them to benefit from it for no reason.

All sorts of guesses and discussions swiftly spread out in the camp at the back.

Just when Class One Hall was enraged and was prepared to teach those who spread the rumors a lesson, they suddenly received news that the twenty thousand people from Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance had already returned to the camp. Very soon, they arrived at the back of the camp.

Class One Hall instantly kept quiet.

‘All their new and old grudges are piled together now, let’s see what they’ll do!’

The black mass of people gathered together and headed to the direction where the four sects were.

But when they were halfway there, they noticed that there was something wrong with the situation.

The people from the four sects came charging over in a black wave, and the aces of the four sects were arranged in a row right in front of the group.

As for Class One Hall, they looked incredibly shabby.

Dream Clouds was not around.

Blood Robes died.

A group of core members had also been sent back to Aru City. Only Barren Murderer stood in front to keep up appearances for Class One Hall.

But when the four sects came charging over with an aggressive momentum and with high morale, there was no way Barren Murderer can manage to keep up appearances for Class One Hall alone.

“Spread out!

“Do those bastards intend to fight in the camp?”

Barren Murderer’s face was red with rage when he gave his orders resolutely.

This time, if they truly fought, Class One Hall will definitely be the ones who will suffer, since the four sects had not lost even a single person from their army of twenty thousand and all their aces were still around.

This time, they can be said to have completely lost their dignity.

The tens of thousands people made way and could only watch as the people from the four sects returned to the back of the back from another direction. The people from Class One Hall did not dare take action at all.

Fortunately, the four sects were also a little fearful.

They did not know what happened during the previous battle. They only knew that Happy had lured a group of Mongolian cavaliers and viciously destroyed Class One Hall’s prestige. The cavaliers even managed to kill tens of thousands of Class One Hall members.

And when the people from the four sects showed up, all of them had a lot of points with them. Before they exchanged their points to military titles, they really did not dare fight head on against Class One Hall.

*****

The people from the four sects charged straight to the main camp that will allow them to exchange their points for rewards.

The twenty thousand people gathered nearby.

The black mass of people surrounding them were all Class One Hall members. The atmosphere around them was incredibly solemn and strange.

The people from the other sects could tell the red spark shining in the Class One Hall members’ eyes, and they were terrified. They did not dare get close at all for fear of making them fly off into a rage.

“The people from Mu Clan have all returned, but Happy is nowhere to be found?”

After the battle, Dream Clouds also felt incredibly tired. She had only logged off for a moment, and when she logged in, she heard that the people from the four sects had returned to the camp en masse, and she began to wonder whether Mu Clan had stationed spies among her core members.

Her face was red with rage. “Do you know what’s going on?”

“The people from Wind and Rain Alliance said that Happy asked them to go back to the camp and exchange their points for military titles.”

“All of them are getting military titles?” Dream Clouds was stunned.

It had to be known that the accumulated points could allow them to get martial art manuals, equipment, weapons, medicinal pills, and if they obtained enough points, they can get a 100% chance of refining a weapon to the fourth echelon.

Happy ordered all his people to exchange their points for military titles that will give them no benefits whatsoever with just one sentence?

Barren Murderer’s expression was sour. “Yes. Based on their words, they gained double points this time, and at least three thousand people collected more than two hundred points, and all of them exchanged it for the title of a 5-man corporal—Hall master!”

When he reached the latter half of his sentence, Barren Murderer noticed that Dream Clouds had suddenly pushed her hand against her chest with a pale face.

“Double points…”

Dream Clouds began laughing bitterly with a self-deprecating look.

“More than three thousand people with enough points for a military title… Happy, what a man you are. You plan so far ahead… Because of it, we can no longer try to attack him with no fear on the plains.”

Barren Murderer said nothing but sighed. He had actually already thought about this as well, but he did not expect that Happy will manage to get such a large group of people with military titles so soon.

They already miscalculated on the matter with the double points, and now, they also miscalculated with the matter regarding Zhao Deyan!

In other words, the situation at the plains had become increasingly disadvantageous to Class One Hall.

Once Happy created an even larger battalion with more people holding military titles, Class One Hall will no longer be the ones who hold the initiative in war, but Happy and Mu Clan, who had a large group of cavaliers in their disposal.

Dream Clouds and Barren Murderer vaguely noticed that at some point of time, Class One Hall had gradually lost their overwhelming advantage in the territory that brought them the greatest advantage, and they also lost the right to take the initiative.
