Sword Among Us

“I intend to build an organization.”

When Happy said these words, One Emperor soon looked surprised and dumbfounded. “Do you intend to give up on Lovely Land?”

Happy was rendered speechless, and he rolled his eyes.

Then, he began explaining things to One Emperor.

“Dream Clouds is currently in the Chinese server, and she’s not too far away from Beijing. It’s also impossible for her to leave, but the people from Class One Hall have already fled to the small countries in the southwest. In fact, they have already built their branch over there. This should be something Wild Wolves did for them.”

One Emperor said nothing about it.

“The foundation Class One Hall has built over the years is no trivial matter. It’s not practical for us to think about destroying Class One Hall with just one battle. By the looks of it, it’s also clear that Dream Clouds has not given up on Class One Hall and the Chinese server. Wild Wolves hasn’t given up on this place either.”

One Emperor nodded in silence.

Happy said, “Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art is, after all, one of the four amazing books of the Chinese server. The further the user trains it, the more powerful it becomes. This time, we might have chased Evil Emperor and the other Wild Wolves away from the Chinese plains, but their threat remains. They haven’t truly disappeared. This is something you know, and Phantasmal Shadow also knows this.”

One Emperor nodded again, and his tone became grave. “That’s why Phantasmal Shadow thought of everything she could to send word to you through me. She wants to remind us that we are not to lower our guard just because Lovely Land and Wind Assault Tower are temporarily enjoying peace and safety, and we are not to be in conflict with each other just because of some resources. After Evil Emperor lost and left the Chinese server, Class One Hall resolutely gave up on all its branches and also gave up struggling. Phantasmal Shadow had been puzzled at that time, because she thinks that Dream Cloud admitted to defeat so resolutely and quickly that it’s abnormal. But by the looks of it now, this is just one of Dream Clouds’ methods. She wants to use the great benefits in front of us to pitch Lovely Land and Wind Assault Tower against each other before Lovely Land has truly stabilized its forces. But she’s going to be disappointed, because neither of you have fallen for the bait.”

“Even though we didn’t give Dream Clouds and Evil Emperor a chance, we’re really still just delaying the time Wild Wolves and Class One Hall makes a comeback. With my understanding toward Evil Emperor and Dream Clouds, they will definitely continue searching for a chance to attack us. Dream Clouds is skilled in cultivating her forces in the dark, and Wild Wolves is skilled in assassinations. If we lower our guard right now and become careless, we’ll have a hard time in the future.”

One Emperor agreed to Happy’s words, and he said, “You’re right. Evil Emperor and Dream Clouds will not stop, but I believe that as long as Lovely Land and Wind Assault Tower doesn’t intrude into each other’s spaces and govern the Chinese server together so that other forces of power will not have a chance, I believe that Wild Wolves will not have the chance to invade the Chinese server again.”

“Dream Clouds has outstanding methods, and she won’t let us be at peace for too long. After all, she has a lot of tricks up her sleeves. Right now, she doesn’t need to cover up her shameful act of working with Wild Wolves anymore, and she can attack us without qualms. I’m not used to this feeling. If the enemy remains hidden while I’m exposed, I will end up suffering a setback at the end.”

“Are you saying…?”

Happy smiled in an unfathomable manner and said firmly, “We will form an organization that is like Wild Wolves and gather elites with us to leave the plains and attack our prey!”

One Emperor was so shocked by this that his jaw fell open. But soon, he frowned and began thinking about this. “You intend to take the initiative to attack.”

“That’s right.” Happy’s expression became stern, and he nodded seriously. “I’ve been thinking about this for a period of time. If we truly want to completely get rid of the threat brought to us by Wild Wolves, we can only attack Wild Wolves from its roots, or else, with the resources from so many countries pouring into them, no matter how many times we kill Evil Emperor, it’s useless. We can’t damage Wild Wolves’ core, and if we want to get rid of them once and for all, we can only attack Wild Wolves’ source of power.”

When One Emperor heard this, he had a troubled look appear on his face. He stared into Happy’s eyes and said, “But you must know that Wild Wolves have already been in control of most of the resources in the world for a long time, and I heard that Wild Wolves have more than two thousand top-class elites. They also have locals in those countries working together with them. Forget about how we’re completely unable to gather together a force to fight against Wild Wolves in the Chinese server, even if we do, are we supposed to leave the Chinese server to fight against those Wild Wolves? They don’t have a base, and they never settle down at one place. We can’t find them even if we try.”

“Since we’re imitating Wild Wolves, we’ll be learning their methods. We won’t be going up to them on our own, we’ll just be forcing them to reveal themselves.”

Once he explained this, One Emperor instantly understood Happy’s intentions. “Are you saying that you want to attack the sects working together with them?”

“That’s right.” Happy smiled. “Since the sects of those countries have to hand over their resources every month, they will definitely have to protect the interests of the sects in those countries and make sure no one can threaten them. If those Wild Wolves don’t appear, do you think that these sects will continue handing money to Wild Wolves?”

One Emperor was tempted.

Based on Happy’s plan, Evil Emperor must make a decision. He must either protect Wild Wolves’ reputation and appear to fight against them, or cast aside his reputation and not appear, thereby abandoning their prestige in that country, but the possibility of the latter happening was not great, because this would cause the partners in other countries working with them to not believe them.

“But you should know about the current situation in the Chinese server. We have just dealt with Class One Hall, and our core has been largely damaged. We’re split into the south and north, and Lovely Land doesn’t even have a complete managing system yet. The north is in chaos, and Wind Assault Tower is badly injured in the south. It will still need sometime before it can recover and reorganize its forces. Also, Class One Hall has more than two million members when you count in all of its affiliated forces. If we leave the plains, these people might use the chance to cause trouble in the plains and overturn the peace we finally gained for ourselves.”

One Emperor stopped talking for a moment before he said, “If we want to stabilize the situation at the Chinese server, we will need at least one month to do so. Also, we need to recruit top-class elites to form an organization that can stabilize the situation at the Chinese plains but also has a certain degree of power to go beyond the plains to attack, and this might take some time… Even if we’re fast, it will take up to a few months, and if we’re slow, it’ll take one year…”

“I’ve thought about these before. We can deal with recruitment slowly. As of right now, Class One Hall is resting and recuperating at Vietnam and Thailand. I don’t want to give them too much time to gasp for breath… Three days! We must take action in three days…”

One Emperor was rendered speechless. He thought that Happy was mad.

“Even though it might seem like we’re in a hurry, if we just attack the smaller countries near the Chinese plains, it’ll be fine. Even with the current situation in the Chinese server, we should still be able to provide reinforcements quickly if anything happens. There will be no problem with the safety in the Chinese server, unless Dream Clouds intends to waste another batch of Illusion Life and Death Pills. Besides, we won’t need too many top-class elites if we want to take down those two countries. One of us just needs to lead a team and head over there. After all, there are still too many top-class elites who remain in the Chinese server, and Blood Robes has also taken a group of elites with him. The remaining hostile elites won’t be able to stop us.”

When he heard Happy’s detailed explanation, a blueprint was slowly revealed before One Emperor.

The more One Emperor thought about it, the more feasible he found this plan to be!

But suddenly, One Emperor frowned and scrutinized Happy before he said, “You still have five days before you are cleared of your crimes. Let me handle the first battle, and you focus on using the next few days to level up to Inaction Realm. That should be what you should be doing… Even though we cannot lower our guard against Wild Wolves and Class One Hall, you cannot stop improving.”

Against One Emperor’s expectations, when he heard One Emperor’s suggestion, Happy agreed to it without hesitation.

Originally, Happy was a little worried about One Emperor leaving the Chinese plains alone, but the fight just now had allowed him to be completely at ease.

With One Emperor’s current strength, as long as he did not run into Evil Emperor, no one could hope to stand up against One Emperor for even a short moment!

“Before you reach Vietnam, I will help you understand the details of the situation over there and help you search for some reliable locals you can trust over there.”

When he said this, Happy saw One Emperor looking at him with a puzzled gaze. “…Are you familiar with Vietnam?”

“…No,” Happy answered truthfully.

One Emperor could not help but roll his eyes. “Then why are you tooting your horn when you aren’t familiar with it? I thought that you had a way to get information. Even Wandering Know-it-all isn’t too familiar with the information outside the Chinese plains.

“And don’t even think about asking random people online.”

“Don’t worry. I have my own way to help you settle the situation. I assure you, you won’t be running around in circles like a headless chicken when you reach Vietnam.”

Happy smiled in an unfathomable manner and did not go into a detailed explanation.

Even though Happy did not believe that Happy would be able to get information about the situation in Vietnam and find contacts within such a short amount of time, Happy’s confident smile caused him to be unable to help himself but to believe in him.

He naturally did not know that while Happy might not have a way to get information over here, but in the world three years ago, he was publicly acknowledged as the strongest player in the world, and there were plenty of foreign forces of power who remained in contact with Happy, because Happy helped them break free from Wild Wolves.

Vietnam and Thailand were one of them…

Besides, due to Mu Clan’s reputation in the Chinese server, the relationship between forces of power set up at the borders between their countries and the Chinese server had become much more amiable, and it would be incredibly easy for him to have someone over there help him understand the situation in Vietnam.

*****

At Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion…

Wind Chimes got out of the branch prison in Lovely Land’s branch and was prepared to have Wandering Know-it-all witness how much she had grown after training hard for half a month, but she saw him sitting in the pavilion in plain clothes while he had his mind wander. He had a frown that was basically etched on his face as he held a letter, and his eyes were fixed on it for a long time. She could not help but ask out of curiosity, “Master, what’s going on? What do you have in your hands?”

This was the first time she saw her master hesitating and being so troubled after Class One Hall and Wild Wolves were chased out of the Chinese server.

“Don’t even mention it. Happy, that bastard…” Wandering Know-it-all placed the letter on the table and said in a resentful tone, “Ever since I entered Lovely Land, he just keeps on giving me work. I’ve never had a moment where I can relax…”

When Wind Chimes heard that this was about Happy, she could only stick her tongue out discreetly because of her blunder. Over the past few days, her master had complained about this quite a number of times.

Once Wandering Know-it-all saw his disciple’s expression, he knew that he had lost his composure, but when he cast a glance at the details in the letter, he instantly flew into a rage. “I wouldn’t work hard if I’m asked to take care of Class One Hall and Wild Wolves, but this brat is just asking me to do some strange tasks…

“He just asked me to check the information of these nameless nobodies.”

“What?”

Wind Chimes walked into the pavilion, and when she saw the dense rows of names in the letter, she found that there were more than one hundred of them in the letter. She was unfamiliar with most of them, but she seemed to have heard of some of them before.

“Who are these people? What connection do they have with Wild Wolves?”

“They have nothing to do with Wild Wolves. Most of them are normal players, and they don’t have anything worth catching my attention.” Wandering Know-it-all rolled his eyes so much he might have sprained a muscle. “I don’t even know where he got the names of these nobodies. He just kept making ambiguous statements and refused to tell me the truth…”
