Chapter 870: Take the Initiative in Attacking

“Happy, once we leave, those remaining in the plains will be in danger!”

“That’s right. Class One Hall has at least nearly ten thousand people remaining on the plains, but all twenty thousand of us are split up. If we really end up fighting, we’ll definitely suffer a huge loss!”

“Are you really that much at ease with our members fighting against Class One Hall on the plains?”

A cavalier battalion of around five thousand people charged at full speed on the plains, and a few slightly worried voices traveled into Happy’s ears.

Happy was naturally the one leading this group of people, and they were prepared to attack the Mongolian army’s logistics camp as well as burn their supplies! Hence, they circumnavigated the possible locations the Mongolian cavaliers might attack them and headed to the Mongolian camp.

Happy, Silver Wolf, and Red Dust’s horses were extremely eye-catching while they rode in front of the cavalier battalion.

Happy explained without turning his head around, “Don’t worry. With Thunderous Battle, Wind Void, Momo, and Night Rain Follows Wind serving as garrisons, along with thousands of cavaliers as well as more than three thousand people with military titles with them, even if Class One Hall wants to cause trouble, they will need to have the guts to do that.”

There was an underlying meaning in his voice.

Silver Wolf and Red Dust looked at each other, and they could not help themselves but ask for the reason.

After all, this time, they took more than four hundred aces from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect, along with five thousand cavaliers, with them for this quest. While the remaining number made Mu Clan and the other three sects still appear to be strong, in truth, they had at least weakened their strength by at least twenty percent.

If Class One Hall could not hold back from fighting against them and killed all twenty thousand people on the plains, it will not be easy for those twenty thousand people to come out of Aru City.

“Each of the aces from the four sects are now with military ranks, and they’re elites among elites! Even if Class One Hall fights at full strength, they will need to have at least ten or dozens of people face the threat of being hunted down if they want to kill each of those aces, isn’t that right?”

Silence fell.

Silver Wolf and Red Dust nodded. The elites from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect around him also agreed to this silently.

“Those from Class One Hall don’t know who has a military title and who doesn’t. If they want to fight, they can only fight all of us, and that means a major operation. By then, more people will be hunted.”

Happy stopped talking for a while. Then, without changing his tone, he threw a question back at them. “How many Class One Hall members do you think those twenty thousand people can get rid of?”

“At least twenty thousand.”

Before Red Dust’s voice faded away, Silver Wolf spoke, attracting everyone’s attention. “While Class One Hall is good, we brought our aces to the borders at the plains this time. Even if we don’t count in the people from Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance, those from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect can get rid of at least twenty thousand to thirty thousand people.” The figures Silver Wolf gave caused Chivalry Sect to be slightly shocked.

But when they thought about the battle at Yangzhou City and how Mu Clan’s thousands of elites had been able to get rid of ten times the number from Towering Palace under Silver Wolf’s lead, they were immediately enlightened.

Regardless of whether it was Mu Clan’s equipment or morale, Mu Clan’s strength was indeed slightly stronger than Chivalry Sect. They also had a lot of top-class players, and saying that they can kill thirty thousand Class One Hall members should not be an exaggerated number.

If that were the case, even if Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance sacrificed one member for one Class One Hall member, they will absolutely be able to kill at least fifty thousand Class One Hall members.

Happy nodded, smiled, and said, “Silver Wolf’s estimations is about the same as mine.

“Take a guess. If we truly attack each other, who will suffer a greater loss between us? Us, or Class One Hall?”

No one said anything.

Aside from Silver Wolf, Red Dust, and a handful of people, most of them just looked at each other at a loss.

“Boss Happy, we’re definitely the ones who will suffer a greater loss. We’ll be losing everyone, but Class One Hall will have tens of thousands of people left. At that time, even if we go back, we’ll be helpless to change the situation.”

“If you calculate things that way, you won’t come up with an accurate calculation. Even if we die, we will lose just our cavaliers and some points, but it’s different for Class One Hall.

“They’ll be hunted, and if they’re killed during that time, they will be sent to the imperial prison, and their qi realm will also fall,” someone in the crowd said.

“That’s right!” Happy nodded and stared ahead with a calm gaze. “I brought you here and left those twenty thousand people at the back because I want Dream Clouds to attack.”

Those who did not understand the situation were stunned silent.

Still, the entire group held their breaths and perked up their ears.

“There are fewer than one hundred and fifty thousand Class One Hall members located at the plains and the entire northern section of the game.

“Once all one hundred thousand members at the plains join the war and half of them died, we will actually suffer no loss whatsoever.

“There is something that I’ve told the four sect masters a long time ago, and they will also give their orders. Once our people die, they are to stay in Aru City and not leave.

“If we don’t leave the city, Class One Hall can’t do anything to us. Besides, Class One Hall’s losses will be very clear. At the very least, they will have tens of thousands of people who will die in battle.

“There are one hundred and fifty thousand Class One Hall members at the plains, and once one-third of them are gone, Class One Hall will not have the energy to care about the plains or Aru City,” Happy explained with his usual tone.

His words allowed the people to immediately see light.

Silver Wolf and Red Dust also had their eyes light up, and they instantly understood the situation.

“Once they lose control over Aru City, it’ll be the time for us to gather our forces and crush Class One Hall!”

“That’s right, we have plenty of people with military titles, and they don’t. This is a fixed advantage for us. As long as we keep the battlefield at the plains, Class One Hall will have fewer people by their side the more they fight against us, and we won’t lose a single person.”

Some people in the battalion began to get excited, so much so that their faces were flushed red.

“Dream Clouds won’t be so stupid. She won’t let this sort of situation happen.” Silver Wolf’s words were spoken with a scowl, and they were like a basin of cold water that was poured over the burning flames of excitement in the conspirators’ hearts, instantly extinguishing them.

“Urk…”

At that moment, a snow white messenger pigeon descended from the sky with loud flaps of its wings. Happy grabbed it.

When he unfolded the letter, the contents inside made him shocked and delighted.

Silver Wolf noticed the changes in Happy’s emotions, and he made his horse get closer to him. “Did something happen at the back?”

“Yeah.” Happy nodded and revealed a piece of good news that made the people be in high spirits.

“Thunderous Battle sent a letter over. He said that Class One Hall’s act of snatching our points was too disgusting, and just now, he took to himself to wage war against Class One Hall, and they successfully killed more than four thousand people from Class One Hall while suffering only minimal losses. But there are at least half of the people from Class One Hall who should have been sent to the imperial prison. They won’t be able to come out for three to five days.”

“As expected of Big Brother Thunder!” Red Dust was in such high spirits that he slapped his thigh. “Haha! This time, those from Class One Hall will stay put.”

The people at the back were also very excited. They kept on praising just how great of a move Thunderous Battle did.

Silver Wolf was originally all smiles as well, but when he saw the contemplative look on Happy’s face, the smile fell away. “What’s wrong?”

Happy said nothing for a moment. He just narrowed his eyes, sucked in a deep breath, and said, “Looks like Dream Clouds didn’t give the order to separate her people from ours.

“This is a chance.”

“Huh?”

Red Dust also stopped smiling when he heard this, and he had a puzzled look on his face.

Happy gave a thought provoking smile at Red Dust and Silver Wolf. “Didn’t I just say that I’m looking forward to Dream Clouds fighting against us? Since Dream Clouds is so careless this time, why don’t we use the chance to take the initiative and do something major this time?”

Very soon, four messenger pigeons rose to the sky and disappeared into the vast plains.
