Sword Among Us Chapter 1125 - Chivalry Alliance

Chapter 1125: Chivalry Alliance

Most of the Chinese players had their gazes fixed on the gains and losses Lovely Land and Wind a.s.sault Tower went through during their fierce war against Wild Wolves and Cla.s.s One Hall.

Few people paid attention to Chivalry Alliance, who also fought with everything they had during the war and were crippled. Even Phantasmal Shadow had to admit that she chose to temporarily overlook Chivalry Alliance’s existence and prioritized restoring Wind a.s.sault Tower as her main goal.

However, right now, Happy had mentioned this in front of multiple heroes earnestly, the seriousness that came from the bottom of his heart caused everyone to feel their hearts jump in fear.

Phantasmal Shadow’s smile faded away into a stern expression. “Brother Happy is right. Brother Lin, Brother Red Dust, today, I, Phantasmal Shadow will also have to use the feast’s wine to toast to you, and on behalf of my members from Wind a.s.sault Tower, I propose a toast to all the people in Chivalry Alliance!”

At that moment, Lin Xiao and Red Dust had finally recovered the shock Happy delivered on them.

“A toast to you, Sect Master Happy.”

“A toast to you, Sect Master Happy!”

The two men looked at each other before they spoke firmly. Their gazes burned as they stared at Happy, and they lifted the wine cup in their hands at the same time before they readily downed everything in one go.

Phantasmal Shadow and the other people around them could tell that the two alliance masters of Chivalry Alliance had clearly been moved by Happy’s words, and their voices quivered a little when they spoke.

The people who were seated sighed.

Some of them knew about Chivalry Alliance’s current situation.

In the past, they were the third strongest faction of power in the Chinese server, but because of that war, they lost hundreds of thousands of members. Right now, they had fallen to the state of being a normal large-sized sect. They had already lost their former glory.

But even though Chivalry Alliance lost so many things, they never complained in the slightest. They just continued developing their sect quietly and, just as quietly, faced the leaders of the two greatest giants in the Chinese server—Happy and Phantasmal Shadow.

It was only at that moment Happy seemed to have truly been able to touch them.

Right now, based on the reactions from Lin Xiao and Red Dust, along with how the Chivalry Alliance members gnashed their teeth while their eyes turned watery with tears, it was not difficult for them to tell that Chivalry Alliance had suffered quite a lot and went through multiple hards.h.i.+ps over this period of time.

Whoos.h.!.+

Thunderous Battle and his group stood up as well. They lifted their wine cups and spoke together, “We propose a toast to the two alliance masters of Chivalry Alliance and to all the members of Chivalry Alliance!”

This scene seemed to have affected many of the people in the feast.

While Song Que, Ningdao Qi, Kuo Zhong, Xu Zhiling, and the rest watched calmly, the virtual martial artists sitting by the tables in the mansion stood up and lifted their cups to the Chivalry Alliance members.

“We propose a toast to the Chivalry Alliance members!”

Loud shouts rang through Song House neatly and clearly, and it also traveled into the ears of quite a number of virtual martial artists who remained outside the mansion but were in the city.

This was originally supposed to be a celebration for Song House’s successful defense, but at that moment, it seemed like the people from Chivalry Alliance had become the main characters of the celebration, and it was all because of Happy’s words.

Lin Xiao, Red Dust, and the Chivalry Alliance members fell silent. With tears in their eyes, they looked at the faces of all the people in the mansion.

“Chivalry Alliance members, are you here?!”

“Aye!”

The group of Chivalry Alliance members shouted in reply.

“Lift your cups!”

Lin Xiao filled in Red Dust and his own cup.

Whoos.h.!.+

Under Lin Xiao and Red Dust’s lead, the group of Chivalry Alliance members lifted their cups, and after they saluted the people around him, they faced Happy. “We drink a toast in return for all of you!”

At that moment, some of the people outside the mansion had either gathered at the entrance because of the strange sounds inside or laid on the walls to look inside.

When they looked, they noticed that the originally incredibly normal celebratory feast had seemed to have gained another air at that moment. Everyone stood sternly in the hall, and a fervent atmosphere flowed among the crowd.

“What’s going on?”

Someone on the wall looked puzzled. The development of the feast in the mansion had clearly exceeded their expectations, and they noticed that they might have missed something.

*****

“That Happy sure is good.”

“Yeah, he’s the only one who came from Lovely Land, but he managed to push Wind a.s.sault Tower out of the limelight. With just a few words, he managed to stir up all the people and showed huge respect to Chivalry Alliance.”

While Silver Wolf, Knife, Thunder, and Bar toasted to Chivalry Alliance, they also discussed this matter among themselves in secret.

“You don’t say. Judging by Lin Xiao and Red Dust’s current appearance, they must be treating Happy as their bosom buddy by now. Even though Phantasmal Shadow is sharing the world with Happy right now, they never cared about Chivalry Alliance because they are currently busy with obtaining all the resources in the south. In terms of magnanimity, they have already lost.”

“Big Brother Silver Wolf, why did Happy suddenly mention this matter? What goal does he possibly have? Is he just trying to draw Lin Xiao and Red Dust to his side?” Knife asked.

Silver Wolf shook his head slightly. “If that were really the case, I will look down on him, and Lin Xiao as well as Red Dust will definitely feel irritated and unnerved by it. Let’s watch how things go first. This time, Wandering Know-it-all definitely has his own plans to invite us to Song House, and this is also the reason why we haven’t immediately left.”

“Yeah.”

Compared to Silver Wolf’s callous and skeptical personality, Thunderous Battle and the other groups were clearly much more accepting when it came to this.

As Song s.h.i.+dao came out to calm down the situation, everyone sat down once more, and the stern atmosphere turned into a celebratory one. But there were still people who would occasionally propose a toast to Chivalry Alliance’s Lin Xiao and the others.

Lin Xiao, Red Dust, and the others seemed to have their dejectedness and grievances over this period of time instantly fade away because of Happy’s words, and they did not reject anyone who proposed a toast to them. They just let themselves loose and drank to their heart’s content!

“Haha, youngsters are indeed full of life…”

Song Que and Ningdao Qi sat together and watched them with smiles on their faces. They gave off an aloof air, as if they were completely removed from the situation.

*****

At a corner was a young man who was followed by three mysterious people covered with black hoods. Once he sat down, he just kept staring at Happy’s table. When he saw that the other people in the mansion had proposed a toast to Chivalry Alliance in groups one after another, he actually wanted to get up and go over, but when he remembered the fact that he was alone, he would always hesitate.

And he continued hesitating for a long time before he finally overcame this obstacle in his heart.

“Alliance Master Lin, Vice Alliance Master Red Dust, I propose a toast to you.”

Lin Xiao and Red Dust might not reject anyone who came to propose a toast to them, but as of current, Happy was the only one who came forth alone to propose a toast to the both of them. Right now, a youngster who was not well-known had suddenly run over, and they could not help but be rendered speechless.

The other people in the mansion could not help but snicker.

“Where did he come from? He doesn’t understand the ways of the world of martial artists, does he?”

Silver Wolf, Knife, Bar, Thunder, and even the people from Wind a.s.sault Tower, including Phantasmal Shadow, and the others stared at the unfamiliar face with slight puzzlement on their faces. They seemed to remember that this boy had controlled a few mysterious people in black to shamelessly join the fight in the mansion, and he exchanged a few blows with Wan Wan while she fought against Xu Zhiling.

Happy had been engaging in a quiet conversation with Phantasmal Shadow during the feast, and he noticed this scene as well. He was first stunned before he smiled in his heart.

‘Little North!’

The one who descended into an awkward situation during the toast was, indeed, Little North.

Just as usual, his friend was rather unconventional.

At that moment, his face was flushed red while holding his winecup in his hand. The words, “I’m a noob” were practically written on his face as he hesitantly looked at Lin Xiao and Red Dust while he was under everyone’s gazes.

No matter what, the two alliance masters of Chivalry Alliance were famous people in the Chinese plains, and when the others proposed a toast to them, they would always do it in groups to toast to the two alliance masters or proposed a toast to them separately to show their respect.

Of course, with Lin Xiao and Red Dust’s personality, they would not reject Little North when he came forward to propose a toast to them, and they were perfectly alright with him proposing a toast to them, but he was proposing a toast to two leaders at once, and he did not even state his own name, because of it, he was not quite following the etiquette in this sort of situations.

Besides, based on how Little North had been frequently looking over at Happy, Happy could guess that the boy was probably thinking about looking for him, which was why he had carelessly overlooked certain things.

When he thought of this, Happy apologized to Phantasmal Shadow, picked up his winecup from the table, and walked over to Little North.

Once Happy got up, he quickly attracted the attention of all the people in the hall.

Lin Xiao and Red Dust were still wondering about whether they should accept the toast from this boy who had just made a fool of himself when they heard Happy walking over to them.

“My young friend, you reminded me of something.”

When he said this, all the people in the mansion put on surprised expressions, especially when they saw that Happy had naturally slung an arm over the shoulder of the boy whose name they could not even place. Their eyes nearly popped out of their eye sockets when they saw this.

Only Little North had his face instantly flush red. He looked at Happy in fear, surprise, and delight before he looked at the winecup he could not even hold properly. Then, he looked even more terrified.

“Hmm?”

The people sitting at Silver Wolf and Phantasmal Shadow’s tables had their curiosity piqued. They looked over.

Their focus, naturally, was not on Little North, because they could tell that Little North should actually not know Happy.

“I proposed a toast to the both of you with just one cup of wine, and I was feeling incredibly apologetic. I didn’t expect that you’d do the same thing as I did.”

His words nearly caused Little North to release his hold over his winecup. It was only then that he realized just how crude and rash he had been.

“Brother, what’s your name?”

Little North looked up like a lost sheep.

He looked around him.

“Me?”

When he faced Happy’s gaze and the countless envious gazes around him, Little North pointed at his own nose dumbly, and gradually, a spark of intelligence flashed in his eyes.

“L-Little North.”

“Alright, let’s drink together as punishment. We’ll first propose a toast to Alliance Master Lin!”

“Haha!”

When Lin Xiao faced Little North, it was normal for him to hesitate, but now, when Happy and Little North decided to drink with them in the name of punishment because of how they had not followed the etiquette rules just now, he quickly drank the wine in his cup.

He was followed by Red Dust.

Happy’s action might appear to be sudden, but he had managed to get Little North out of his awkward predicament, and this affected Thunderous Battle, Silver Wolf, and the others by a huge degree.

Silver Wolf calmly watched as Happy naturally poured wine for himself and Little North, and also watched him as he knocked his cup against Little North’s, producing a clear sound despite the fact that Little North had been incredibly stiff when he knocked his cup against Happy’s because of how terrified he was. Silver Wolf’s gaze gradually turned incredibly strange.

Silver Wolf was not the only one who reacted this way.

Phantasmal Shadow, too, found it strange.

This sort of normal elite whose shadow could not even be found when they were thrown into a crowd could be found everywhere in the Chinese server, and there was no need for Happy to take care of him!

But Happy’s action was much to Lin Xiao and Red Dust’s liking.

“You’re a righteous man.”

Even though they could not understand why Happy had done what he did just now, when they sat down and thought about it, they could understand Happy’s goal, and they had faint, understanding smiles appear on their faces.

Lin Xiao exchanged a glance with Red Dust. ‘At least Happy is much more tolerable compared to those sect masters who like to put on airs and display their wealth.’

They picked up their wine cups, and both of them led a group of Chivalry Alliance members to begin moving around the tables in the mansion.

For a period of time, they proposed toasts to the people in the mansion, and the place was incredibly lively.

Little North’s straightforward and carefree personality allowed him to finally slowly recover to a state where he could withstand this sort of major shock, and he found a chance to speak to Happy.

“Boss Happy, I… I’d like to join Lovely Land!”
