Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 853
Chapter 853: A Difficult Choice
Crack!
A clear sound of bones breaking rose. Blood Robes’ neck was crushed like brittle wood when Zhao Deyan tightened his grip.
Right when Demon General Zhao Deyan showed up, Class One Hall’s morale immediately took a huge blow.
Now, there was no one who did not know that the person who showed up was a Myth Realm elite.
When they faced a Mongollian cavalier battalion protected by a Myth Realm elite, Class One Hall’s morale could be said to have disappeared without a trace. The people who arrived nearby could only watch as a large group of their friends were sent sprawling on the ground by Zhao Deyan. All the people within ninety-eight feet of Zhao Deyan looked as if they had been run into by a train. They were all sent flying back.
The Class One Hall core members were the first to suffer from his attacks.
When this group of elites died, there was no need to even mention the rest. Under the protection from Demon General Zhao Deyan and the evil cult elites, the Mongolian cavaliers regained their oppressive momentum of brutally mowing down everything in their way.
Rumbling sounds rose, and they went straight to the depths of Class One Hall’s army.
Wherever those iron hooves went, all those who tried to block them were killed!
“What in the world…?”
“Run!”
“It’s a Myth Realm elite! Run!”
When Class One Hall lost Blood Robes and the group of Class One Hall core members, the ones remaining could not even get close to the Mongolian cavaliers. When the iron hooves went past them, no one could stop those hooves from crushing them.
A few minutes passed. The Mongolian cavaliers came and went like the wind. They intersected with Class One Hall’s army while they shoved their way into Class One Hall’s midst. Class One Hall ended up losing at least ten thousand people, and this was only because Class One Hall was pretty good. If anyone else were in their place, they might have been wiped out.
Dream Clouds did not appear at the frontlines, but she was on a small slope while she watched her people clash against the Mongolian cavaliers at the densest region. She clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles had almost turned purple. Her face was incredibly pale.
Only a short ten minutes had passed, and Class One Hall had already lost more than ten thousand people, among them were a group of Class One Hall core members. She even lost Vice Hall Master Blood Robes.
“Damn you, Happy.” Dream Clouds gnashed her teeth and wanted badly to tear off Happy with her teeth.
There had never been a time where Class One Hall suffered such a huge loss in a head on fight!
They had surrounded the area with one hundred thousand people and were certain that they can take down Happy’s army, but they came to an empty camp and even fell into Happy’s trap.
“Today, I’ll fight against you until the final moment, and we’ll see who can stand at the very end as the victor.”
Fortunately, they will not suffer a severe penalty for dying when they died in the event region.
But right now, Dream Clouds knew that the people from the four sects had a lot of points, and once they died, their points will be reduced to zero. Their losses will be even greater than Class One Hall. Hence, even though she was anxious and furious, she did not lose her composure.
She still had around eighty thousand people under her command, but there were only three thousand Mongolian cavaliers…
“Have someone send my orders!”
“Hall master!”
“Activate the isolation plan. Lure the Mongolian cavaliers to another direction. Don’t bother about dying! Others, stop attacking! Use ten thousand people to lure the cavaliers far away! It’ll be enough just to lure those people away from the camp! The rest will focus on taking down Happy.”
Dream Clouds stopped talking for a while. A cold and fierce killing intent flashed briefly in her eyes. “I refuse to before that your qi and body fortification can last that long…
“Wu Xiong, I’ll let you handle this. Search for a chance to kill Happy.”
She handed a snow-white throwing knife to a Class One Hall core member beside her, and Dream Clouds no longer paid attention to the battlefield.
“Understood!”
Wu Xiaong was delighted when he received that Little Li Flying Dagger. He received his orders with pleasure and seeped into the crowd.
Dream Clouds’ plan could be said to be diabolical.
When Little Li Flying Dagger was in the hands of a stranger and was used in such a chaotic and complicated situation, even Happy will have a hard time to escape from this disaster!
She will sacrifice a countless number of her men to lure away the Mongolian cavaliers and clear the battlefield. Once she succeeded in this, the remaining Class One Hall members will only need to stay in the plains. Then, when the people from the four sects logged in, they will all die, and there was no other way about it.
*****
But yet another ten minutes passed.
Class One Hall’s plan did not seem to be working.
Happy remained stirring up trouble in Class One Hall’s army and killed wildly. His sword glare spread all over the place, and no one can stop him.
The Mongolian cavaliers were not lured away at all.
Regardless of where Class One Hall’s firepower was and how the people in the other directions tried to avoid them or create a blank isolation area, the Mongolian cavaliers seemed to have focused their attention in the direction of the camp and where Happy was. They did not fall to Class One Hall’s trap at all.
Class One Hall lost more than ten thousand people because of it, and they received no results whatsoever from it.
*****
At that moment, Dream Clouds managed to find some vague clues about the situation, leading her to come to the conclusion that the Mongolian cavaliers’ target was very clearly Happy.
Happy kept moving around the area where the people from the four sects logged off, and he killed without stop. He also learned something about this, because when he attacked, he will also extinguish the torches around him, making the area nearby be swathed in darkness, thereby causing Wu Xiong to not have the chance to attack.
The people were only able to see a fierce snow white sword glare in the crowd and hear the sounds of bodies being torn and pierced through. In the chaos, not a single torch could remain lit for more than three seconds, and Happy will never stay more than three seconds in the lit either.
But Happy’s actions caught the Mongolian cavaliers’ attention, and they will come charging madly at him to try and oppress him.
They followed behind Happy repeatedly in circles and launch continuous charges at the place where the four sects had stationed themselves.
When she saw this, Dream Clouds clenched her fists.
Right now, she faced a situation where she had to make a difficult choice.
Either she will continue fighting to station herself firmly in the camp and fight in a war of attrition against the Mongolian cavaliers, or immediately retreat and leave this place so that Happy will deal with the Mongolian cavaliers and the Demon General alone.
If she chose the former, while Class One Hall can firmly suppress the four sects and deny them the chance to log in, the remaining seventy thousand people in Class One Hall might not be able to last through the carnage.
With a large group of evil cult elites protecting them, these three thousand Mongolian cavaliers were like a fast-moving human flesh grinder, and wherever they went, not a single blade of grass remained!
But if she chose the latter, the operation this time will end in complete failure…
She will have wasted an entire day’s time and the energy used to mobilize her troops. She will even lose nearly thirty thousand people! If word of this spread out, Class One Hall will be utterly humiliated, and their status as the ruler of the north might be shaken as well!
*****
Time passed bit by bit.
Class One Hall’s morale slid down madly.
Happy’s slaughtered in frenzy in their formation, and no one can stop him.
The Demon General and a group of evil cult elites led three thousand Mongolian cavaliers with them, and they moved as if there was no one in their way!
Corpses were strewn all over the plains!
Class One Hall had already lost more than twenty thousand people.
But even now, not a single trace of the people from the four sects could be seen. Only Happy alone charged forward madly at the spots that will cause the most damage among them. There was also one practically invincible evil cult elite who caused a ruckus with Happy as well.
No one had the mood to continue causing trouble when they were caught in this situation.
Those seventy thousand people began to keep a great distance from the Mongolian cavaliers.
They stared at the Mongolian cavaliers who charged about and killed in the scattered crowd from the distance, and their faces were filled with resignation, defeat, and dejectedness.
*****
“Hall master! Let’s retreat!”
A few of Class One Hall’s higher ups surrounded Dream Clouds and pulled long faces when they tried to persuade Dream Clouds to retreat. “Hall master, if we continue fighting, the morale among our members will be completely depleted.”
“We’ve already lost nearly thirty thousand people…”
“If we continue dragging this out, when the people from the four sects arrive, even if we want to continue fighting, it’ll be impossible.”
“Shut up.”
When she heard the people beside her creating a ruckus, Dream Clouds’ expression turned red with rage. She gritted her teeth and hissed out a sentence that caused everyone to feel their hearts shudder. “Do you actually think that we can retreat right now?! As long as Happy doesn’t give up and the Mongolian cavaliers continue chasing after us tightly from behind us…”
The faces of the group of people turned bloodless. They understood what she was implying.
Originally, when they had not noticed the situation, Happy had already quietly controlled the direction of the fight.
There was no mistaking this.
With the Mongolian cavaliers serving as his trump card, there was no way Happy will give up on the rare chance to strike at Class One Hall.
This time, they will either have to all be killed and return to Aru City, or have to be completely defeated and return to the Chinese camp.
When they thought about this in depth, the group of people’s faces turned incredibly sour.
