Chapter 880: Mobilization of Troops, Noticed an Elite Squad
No messenger pigeon can be sent out. All messages cannot be sent in time.
When the Mongolian army chased after Happy and his group into the patrolling area of the Chinese cavaliers, it was only then that the Chinese camp finally reacted to the situation.
Aside from having their main force charge straight into the Chinese camp, the Mongolian army also had two teams numbering to the one hundred thousand quickly block the charges from the Chinese cavaliers attacking them from the flanks. They destroyed the plans of the Chinese cavaliers, who thought that they could intercept the Mongolian army. Then, the Mongolian army drove straight into the Chinese camp, and the entire plains descended into a chaotic battle.
It was a fierce battle, and the martial artists could not interfere with it at all.
Many people were killed within less than a minute when they entered the battlefield, and they did not even know where those weapons came from.
Some of them were pushed down to the ground by an injured Mongolian cavalier who came flying at their faces. Then, they will have their faces by countless hooves.
The battlefield turned into a grave for many people!
There were Mongolian players and evil cult elites mixed among the Mongolian army.
They followed behind the army and pounced at the Chinese crowd madly to harvest their lives.
The Chinese side was struck by tragedy after tragedy.
More than four hundred thousand people from the Chinese army died in the first charge.
They lost most of their two hundred thousand cavaliers, and their logistics camp was forcefully invaded by a group of people, which led to their supplies being destroyed.
The exchange for points was put to a temporary halt.
At the same time, everyone received a dignified system notification telling them that they received a quest.
“Chase away the Tatars and protect your country!
“The players who kill at least five Mongolian cavaliers will either be promoted to a 5-man commander or receive one hundred points!
“This is a special period of the quest. You will gain double points during the quest.
“With each normal Mongolian cavalier you kill, you will gain twenty points. You will gain double points for all the other enemies listed in the event as well.”
As a large number of Chinese elites went up against the Mongolian army, the Chinese side finally gained their foothold in the battle, but they only managed to do so at a gradual pace. Once the Chinese side launched a counterattack, both sides descended into a stalemate.
*****
“Immediately mobilize forces into the plains!
“Hurry up! Do it immediately!”
Even though Dream Clouds was among the group of people who managed to escape from the flames of war in time, when she returned to the Chinese camp, she heard the system announce a group quest, and her burned instantly burned with great excitement. She quickly released her orders.
“All those who can come, hurry up and come back!
“As for you lot, you will fight with me immediately.
“Remember this, prioritize protecting yourselves. Set your first goal as killing at least five Mongolian cavaliers.”
At the same time Dream Clouds released her orders, Blood Robes, Barren Murderer, and the group of people who followed her had their blood burn with excitement.
They did not expect that when they made the decision to completely give up on the Emperor’s Announcement event, the system would launch such a large-scale group quest.
This was basically the system handing over military titles to the players.
The Mongolian cavaliers were only worth ten points at any other moment, but now, they were worth double. Those without military titles will even get four times those points.
Class One Hall could use this rare chance to get a large group of their people promoted, and from there, they can achieve their goal of being able to fight against Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance on equal grounds.
“Did you hear?! Immediately send word! Mobilize your forces!”
“We’re all entering the plains!”
Blood Robes and Barren Murderer’s shouts practically drowned out the thunderous hooves and the rumbling sounds from the ground.
The Mongolian army had launched a full frontal assault that was basically similar to a final battle, and they threw the entire battlefield into chaos.
The players who received the news rushed into the battlefield as if they had gone mad.
This was a group quest that gave them double points!
Everyone began having dreams of grandeur and prosperity.
However, Happy was the exception.
From the moment the system announced the double point event, his heart let out an uneasy thump.
There were a large number of evil cult elites and Mongolian players mixed among the Mongolian army.
Even though the Chinese side had a lot of players with them, if they chose to fight against the Mongolian army when they were at their most intimidating and when two armies launched a charge against each other, it will be the same as them marching to their own deaths.
The people from Class One Hall might be dozens of miles away, but when they rushed here, they will benefit from the situation because all they needed to do was to kill off the Mongolians weakened by the previous attacks from the other soldiers and players.
That meant that while their morale was high, they will go up against the Mongolian cavaliers, whose morale will begin to diminish.
This battle might be the battle that will allow Class One Hall to turn the tides on the plains.
When he thought of this, Happy’s heart tensed up, and he shouted, “Silver Wolf, immediately notify all our members and tell them not to be involved in the battle for ten minutes!”
“Doing it.” Silver Wolf was from the military. Even though he did not have a huge understanding about the charges from the ancient Mongolian cavaliers, he knew the implications of war more so than the layman, and he knew that no one can block the Mongolian army’s charge right now.
Happy drove his horse to Red Dust’s side.
“Brother Red Dust, please notify your sect members and our friends from Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance. Have them all leave the battlefield and gather at the back!”
“Got it!”
When Red Dust saw the somber expression on Happy’s face, he knew that something major must have happened. He did not even ask for the reason, but just quickly nodded and called for his sect members around him to help him contact those who needed to be informed.
Happy never stopped moving. He quickly released a messenger pigeon and contacted All-powerful Medicinal Stone, who was in Aru City.
[Old man, did Class One Hall do anything?]
[I was just about to write a letter to you!
[Yeah, all the people Class One Hall left behind in Aru City have been mobilized, and none of them remain. There should be around one hundred and thirty thousand of them who moved out. There are also quite a lot of people who went along with them.
[I’m currently moving in the crowd with them.
[Be careful on your side!]
All-powerful Medicinal Stone replied very quickly.
‘I knew it!’
Happy sucked in a deep breath, and he handed the letter in his hands to Red Dust.
Once Red Dust took a glance at it, his expression immediately changed.
“Class One Hall is about to throw everything they have into this battle and fight for points and military titles!”
Before he even finished speaking, Silver Wolf had already taken the letter from his hands.
He scowled. Then, he looked at Happy. “Happy, are you implying…?”
There was a murderous look in his eyes that was rather similar to Happy’s.
Happy’s tone was firm, and he spoke clearly, “No matter what, we can’t let them have the chance to regain their position on the plains. Even if we give up on this group quest, we must not let Class One Hall succeed!”
“That’s right!”
His suggestion quickly gained Red Dust’s support, who gritted his teeth and said, “Class One Hall already has a lot of people to begin with. We’ve finally gained the upper hand over them. That’s why we can’t let them enter the plains and regain their title as the lords here. At that time, we’ll have a difficult time when we try to leave.”
“Right now, everyone is busy with the war. No one will pay attention to us.
“Red Dust, Silver Wolf, immediately contact our friends from the four sects and tell them to gather here. We’ll make preparations to intercept all those Class One Hall members who want to enter the plains from Aru City!”
While he spoke, Happy did not bother hiding the killing intent from his voice.
“Got it!”
At that moment, Red Dust received a messenger pigeon, and when he opened it, he cast a glance at it, and he quickly widened his eyes. “Happy!”
“What is it?”
“Our men noticed a group led by Dream Clouds and Blood Robes. There are about three hundred of them there, and the higher ups seem to all be in that group! There are nearly two thousand cavaliers among them.”
When Red Dust blurted out the sudden news, not only did he stun Happy and Silver Wolf, even the elites from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect all placed their attention on him.
Silence fell among the group for a while.
Then, Happy spoke a little slower than before. “Where did they notice the group?”
“They’re not too far away from here, and they’re slaughtering the cavaliers at the edge of the Mongolian army.
“The ones who discovered them are my clan master and Big Brother Lin. They also received the quest to harass the flanks, and they rushed over here while they were half way through their quest. Dream Clouds doesn’t seem to have noticed them.
“Happy, why don’t we…?”
“We’ll do it!” Happy’s heart instantly began burning with anticipation. “Silver Wolf, I’ll let you be in charge of gathering all the people here.
“Have all our cavaliers stay in this place!
“Red Dust, lead the way!”
