Chapter 869: Snatching Points?! Kill Them!

HONK!

A low blare from a horn awakened the sleeping plains.

Rumble…

An entire infantry unit marched out in an orderly manner from the camp.

The cavalier battalion by their sides created loud rumbling sounds with their hooves as they stepped forth in an endless stream. They were like a steel stream, and with all the dust flying in the air, they went forth.

The plains woke up.

The battlefield came alive, and a murderous air rose once more, making people’s blood boil and the ground tremble!

Rumble!

Just like the previous two days ago, groups of players followed the cavalier battalion with confidence brimming in them. They continued moving to the battlefield to meet the vanguard unit the Mongolian army sent and gather points for themselves.

*****

The battle between Class One Hall and the four sects last night caused many people to be unable to sleep for an entire night. Now, thousands of people from the four sects had gotten themselves military titles with their points, and they also gathered together more than seven though cavalier NPCs. Such a large battalion and the thousands of people who had military ranks spread out among the four sects completely destroyed all the possible schemes Class One Hall could cook up.

No matter how reckless Dream Clouds was, it was impossible for her to continue fighting against Mu Clan and the other three sects in this sort of situation!

Forget about the fact that the twenty thousand people sent by the four sects being tough people to deal with, since the thousands of the enemies who had military ranks were spread out in the crowd, no one can tell. If she were careless and declared war, even if she managed to kill all twenty thousand people from the four sects, Class One Hall will also lose tens of thousands of people, and all of them will also be sent into the imperial prison.

The people from the four sects had exchanged all their points for military titles and cavaliers. Even if they died once, they will at most lose only their cavaliers, but not their military titles.

But the people who attacked those with military titles will be hunted down by the system, and they will not be able to gain even a footing in the battlefield or the city. If they died once, they will be locked up for seventy-two hours, and they will need at least four days before they can get out of their predicament.

Hence, at night, the people from Mu Clan and the other three sects already did not need to worry about Class One Hall.

Those from the four sects were gathered together, and they did not take the one hundred thousand people from Class One Hall seriously.

Class One Hall had their imposing air whittled down repeatedly, and they had largely restrained their actions.

Besides, Class One Hall members had also received repeated warnings from their higher ups that they were not to readily attack the people from the four sects within a short period of time. They were to carry out quests during the day at full force and obtain points so that they can get military titles.

It was precisely because of this reason that during the second day, Class One Hall and the four sects minded their own business and fought in their own areas.

However, since they were enemies now, the hostility between them was very great, and soon, conflict between them rose in the battlefield!

“Darn it, those jerks from Class One Hall won’t come to meet and fight against us now but chose to snatch my points! Those stupid bastards! When we’re around the area, they will definitely step in to fight snatch those cavaliers from us! Can they stop already?!”

“Boss Thunder, what should we do?!”

“That’s right! Those rascals are too crafty! They have a lot of people, and with each person swinging their weapon once, all the cavaliers will already be killed by the time they’re done! We won’t be able to get a lot of points this way!”

“This can’t continue!”

In some parts of the plains where Thunderous Battle and Little North were, Class One Hall’s act of kill stealing became even clearer, and they became even brasher. Just because they had more people with them, they did not treat the people from the four sects as any form of threat, and once they saw that a Mongolian cavalier was about to die, they just rushed over to kill steal their targets.

“What the heck?!”

Little North was the first to be unable to take it anymore. With Thousand Year Corpse King’s Right Arm, he rushed into Class One Hall’s crowd like a plume of black smoke and tore the dozen Class One Hall members who were the most brazen and outrageous when they snatched the four sects’ points.

But Little North’s cavaliers soon announced that they were no longer protected, and at that moment, those who were attacked will have the right to self-defense and can attack Little North.

“Little North, come back!”

When Thunderous Battle saw that that the situation was off and there were signs that things were about to go out of control, he quickly ordered the clan members around him. “Those without military titles, go and take the lead in the fight! Those with military titles, you’ll be in charge of defense and counterattacks!”

When he said those words, the Mu Clan members in the area were immediately like tigers who left their cages. They charged out of the battlefield against the Mongolian cavaliers, and with a few people in a group, they viciously charged toward the Class One Hall members who were nearby.

Surprised cries, pained screams, and furious shouts rose from a large group of Class One Hall elites.

“What in the world—! Mu Clan has taken the initiative to attack!”

“What the heck—!”

“Counterattack! Destroy those bastards!”

Class One Hall had enough people on their side, and they shouted for a counterattack, but even so, they cannot stop Mu Clan’s great momentum when they launched the first attack, and in one single breath, they killed around one hundred people.

When Class One Hall organized their first wave of counterattacks, hundreds of people suddenly rushed out of the large group of Mu Clan elites who had already killed to a frenzy.

In the chaos, they switched fighters.

Piercing warning sirens from the system rang in their ears as a reminder!

“You maliciously attacked 5-man Commander Kui Yong during battle! You have gone against your superior, and this has already been recorded by the military governor.

“From now on, you will be hunted down by the imperial court for twenty-four hours.

“When you are killed during the period where you are hunted, you will drop one of your equipment, and you will not return to complete health after you die. You will also be locked in the imperial prison for seventy-two hours.

“If you killed a warrior with a military title, you will be considered to have gone against your superior and are plotting treason. You will be hunted for one week, and when you die, you will drop two pieces of equipment.”

A continuous stream of system notifications quickly rang in even more Class One Hall members’ minds.

At the same time, thousands of Mu Clan members gathered their cavaliers together, and they went into a frenzy. Without any orders, they made their horses gallop forward and charge to the people from Class One Hall with an indomitable spirit.

“The heck?! We fell into the trap!”

“Stop! Hurry up and stop fighting them!”

The group of Class One Hall elites quickly had their faces turn pale under the continuous stream of warning blares from the system, and they lost their will to fight.

While they were killed during the period of time they were hunted, they will not return to full health when they were revived, and they will drop their equipment. They will also be locked up for seventy-two hours. The punishment was incredibly harsh.

And if they killed those with military titles, their crime will be even more severe!

Within a moment, those from Class One Hall stopped attacking, but Mu Clan did not stop attacking.

They rushed at those who were already under a bounty, and fierce glares from their weapons went charging at those hunted down without any mercy. In an instant, they killed a large group of Class One Hall members.

Some of those from Class One Hall who still did not know what was going on began to make preparations for a counterattack.

Some of them turned around and were prepared to flee in panic, and the situation descended into chaos.

But there was no way those who tried to run could escape. The Mu Clan elites chased after them like their shadows, and they cut them down all along the way. Wherever they went to, Class One Hall will continue to try and struggle to break free. They were also highly conflicted about fighting back because of the warning from the system. They were forced to retreat nonstop.

“Don’t let a single one escape!”

“Come on, you Class One Hall bastards! I won’t even turn on my body fortification! Come and kill me! KILL ME! If I die, you’ll be locked up for one week!” Those with military titles in Mu Clan had their ranks to serve as their support, and they were absolutely not afraid of fighting head on against Class One Hall.

When the people from Class One Hall thought about the completely different treatment given to them when they fought against each other, they had bitter looks on their faces. The momentum they had when they snatched Mu Clan’s points was gone, and under Mu Clan’s fierce offense, they were completely unable to form any sort of effective resistance!

Very soon, thousands of Class One Hall were killed and strewn everywhere on the plains because of around one thousand Mu Clan elites going after their lives.
