Chapter 849: Extinguish the Torches! Log Off!

“What do you mean, you can’t find Happy?”

At the depths of the plains was a dark place. Dream Clouds and Blood Robes looked down from above, and they saw a layer of firelight from the distance. Those ghastly words came out from Dream Clouds’ mouth.

Blood Robes also stared at the two Cla.s.s One Hall members in behind him with a solemn expression.

Those two were core Cla.s.s One Hall members. They were pretty strong, but their main job was to gather information, and getting stronger was only their secondary task in the game.

Those two Cla.s.s One Hall members looked at each other before the person on the left spoke up, “We don’t understand the specific situation either, but based on the spies we allocated in Wind and Rain Alliance as well as Mu Clan, they did see Happy log off, but for some reason, he soon returned to the game and left with someone. They don’t know where they went to, because no one dared follow them. They were afraid of exposing themselves.”

The other person took one step forward and answered softly, “Hall master, based on the trajectory they left, they might have gone to the enemy camp—”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Blood Robes.

“Impossible! Happy won’t be so rash. It doesn’t make sense for him to do that either. Getting points from the enemy camp isn’t something so urgent. Since he immediately came back after he logged off, there’s definitely something urgent, but based on the report from the spies, Silver Wolf came back first, and once he logged in, he arranged people to be on guard around the area. He also expanded the guard area, which means that they have definitely noticed that we want to attack their camp,” Blood Robes retorted firmly.

Then, Blood Robes made a suggestion with an urgent tone. For some reason, Happy and Silver Wolf’s actions gave him a bad feeling. “Hall master, the enemy might have already noticed what we’re trying to do. We can’t delay this any further. Let’s just attack before their entire army returns!”

That was what Dream Clouds was thinking about as well.

Right now, there were only around ten thousand people in the camp, which meant that the army was around half of their original strength. If Cla.s.s One Hall attacked forcefully, they will be able to easily take down this group of people.

But Happy’s act of leaving the camp at this moment caused her to be a little fearful, and she could not quite understand what he was trying to do.

She made an a.s.sumption that Happy should not have noticed Cla.s.s One Hall’s actions.

But now that the enemy cat had expanded their guard circle by several miles, it made the possibility of Cla.s.s One Hall quietly launching an ambush to become zero. Also, she had other concerns.

Once they fought, they will be fighting on the plains where the moon was dim and the wind was strong. There was no light, and darkness surrounded them. Cla.s.s One Hall might not be able to exploit their advantage in numbers.

“Hall master, there’s no need to think about this any further! Time is gold, and if we drag this out, it’ll not be beneficial for us! The difficulty for us to defeat them will also become greater. It’s better that we take down their camp in one go and station ourselves in the area. Langye and his people have already surrounded Aru City, and we’ll serve as garrisons over here. Once they log in, all of them will die! We’ll completely push all four sects out of the limelight.

“Give the orders, hall master!”

The other two people nodded at the same time with burning eyes.

Dream Clouds sucked in a slight breath and stared at the camp in the distance. She nodded slowly. “Alright.

“Blood Robes, lead twenty thousand people to circ.u.mnavigate them and attack from the right. Monk, take twenty thousand people to circ.u.mnavigate them and attack from the left. We’ll launch a three-p.r.o.ng attack, and we’ll leave only the direction to the Mongolian camp open. Amazingly Poor, when the battle starts, keep yourself stationed in their camp, and kill all those who log in!”

While she gave her orders, the killing intent in Dream Clouds’ eyes grew even stronger.

The black ma.s.s of people at the back quickly became restless. They moved without a sound, and under the protection of the night, they spread out like an aggressive tidal wave, moving into the formation of a huge pocket to surround the brightly lit camp.

But against their expectations, the camp began to move about in frenzy.

Weapons were drawn, and the army moved into formation to wait for them!

*****

In truth, Silver Wolf had long since noticed where the Cla.s.s One Hall members gathered.

Ever since Knife, Thunder, and Bar logged in, the trio were sent into different directions to scout the area, and before Thunder even got close to where Cla.s.s One Hall was, he already sensed an abnormal presence gathering over there.

There was no way an army of tens of thousands of people could hide their footsteps, breathing, and voices. Besides, that army will occasionally send messenger pigeons to each other to chat, and while the messenger pigeons flapped their wings, the sound will be incredibly clear in the silent night.

As for Thunder, since he was dressed in night-traveling clothes and scouted the path ahead, no one noticed him. He just quietly moved to their borders.

If Silver Wolf was not concerned about the enemy spies in their own camp as well as the large number of people who had yet to return to the game, making it so that he cannot leave the camp readily, he would have gathered the people to leave a long time ago.

But now, Silver Wolf can only pretend that he did not know about them while he made a series of preparations in the dark. At the same time, he sent a message to Happy and the rest, and even had some people log off to tell their members to return to the game as soon as possible.

Fortunately, those from Cla.s.s One Hall had only just arrived, and the tens of thousands of people will require quite a lot of time before they can be completely gathered together.

More than ten thousand people logged in one after another, and the number gradually grew near twenty thousand.

Flap flap!

A messenger pigeon flew over.

Silver Wolf opened the letter, and his pupils shrank. “They can’t hold back anymore, huh?”

Unhesitatingly, he gave orders to fight, and in a flash, those twenty thousand people in the camp quickly moved. The leaders of the four sects also gathered to Silver Wolf.

When tens of thousands of people dashed on the plains, they will cause quite the ruckus. Even if they had lightness skills, the violent wind that came charging at Silver Wolf and his army’s faces caused everyone to have their breathing freeze. They did not dare to underestimate this force, and they quickly moved into battle position.

“Those with s.h.i.+elds, come forward. Archers, stay at the back. Those with military t.i.tles, come and block the charge.

“Protect the cavaliers.”

Silver Wolf, who had been prepared a long time ago, was naturally prepared for war since a long time ago. Before the army from Cla.s.s One Hall appeared in the area illuminated by torches stationed at the outer sentry ring, he had already swiftly set up a defense line at the outer ring.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

At that moment, the people from Cla.s.s One Hall finally took action.

A dense wave of arrows shot out from the dark.

The torches set up at the highest points in the area were all extinguished. Darkness quickly devoured the region, and visibility at the camp quickly narrowed down.

The enemy army moved like the wind, and their footsteps were as loud as thunder.

Those tens of thousands of people began speeding up.

But the people from the four sects were like blindmen who moved around with their eyes open. They could not see at all, and their hearts thundered against their chests. They could only wait quietly as the people from Cla.s.s One Hall approached the area.

“Cla.s.s One Hall, you sure are sinister!”

A number of people clenched their teeth at the back. They activated their body fortifications and qi realms, and a crazed qi wave swiftly rose from the camp.

Even Silver Wolf’s expression turned sour.

Even though he already expected that Cla.s.s One Hall will not grant them any visibility in the area, when he truly faced this, he knew that being in the dark to everything their enemy did will still cause many people to feel uneasy.

“Brothers and sisters, be prepared for a b.l.o.o.d.y fight!

“Archers, get ready to fire!”

He can only shout his commands to calm them down and increase their morale.

During that critical moment, clear gallops could be heard coming from the back of the army, and whoever the rider was quickly rushed into the crowd. “I’m back!”

It was Little North, and while he made a ruckus, he was recognized by the members at the outer ring. They made way and said, “Big Brother Little North! Where’s Happy?”

Little North did not stop moving. He rushed straight to the frontlines.

At that moment, the people from Cla.s.s One Hall had just moved over the sentry line, but they were not at the area sixth-tenths of a mile away from the army just yet.

Silver Wolf hastily went to meet him. “Where’s Happy?”

“At the back!” Little North panted while he placed his hands on Silver Wolf’s body. He began rambling, “Quick! Extinguish the torches! Log off! The Mongolian cavaliers are coming!”
