Sword Among Us

When he received the warning letter from Thunderous Battle, Happy was stunned for a long time before he said something that caused Red Coral to be speechless. “This woman… she caused such a huge ruckus… Could it be that the time of the month for her has arrived?”

Red Coral pretended that she did not hear what he said. She turned her head around and stared at the horizon. As the 10,000-man commander died, the Mongolian cavaliers were also subsequently killed by Happy and the martial artists around them. Red Coral will naturally not leave by pretending that she did not know him. She took the initiative to come over and meet Happy, but she did not expect that she would just be in time to witness this happening.

Class One Hall had destroyed more than five hundred Wind Assault Tower elites in one go, including Phantasmal Shadow. At the same time, they also killed more than one thousand members from Wind and Rain Alliance. They had even engaged in a battle against the Mu Clan members led by Silver Wolf and Phoenix Dances.

Everything happened too suddenly!

While Happy headed to the site of the incident, Happy thought about the meaning behind Dream Clouds’ actions.

In truth, Happy was actually very surprised by Dream Clouds’ act of suddenly fighting against Mu Clan.

But based on the bits and pieces of information he gathered on his way to the battlefield, Happy finally slowly came to understand the cause and effect of the entire incident.

The source of the fight came from Class One Hall’s domineering acts as well as Phantasmal Shadow and Wind and Rain Alliance rising to fight against them.

Then, Mu Clan intervened, and Eleventh Crane had accurately drained Blood Robes of all his points with one accurate headshot.

When he heard the later piece of news, Happy was a little shocked.

‘Eleventh Crane actually snatched away something so awesome?’

But things had obviously not ended just yet.

Not only had Class One Hall members appeared in Aru City and nearby cities, the mobilization of Class One Hall members had also become very frequent in the cities near Mu Clan’s branches.

That was not all.

There was a continuous stream of Class One Hall parties entering the plains, and the Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance members everywhere felt the impact. Very soon, the people from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect were also directly affected by this.

Happy could understand why Mu Clan was attacked. After all, Blood Robes was the vice hall master of Class One Hall.

If any other top-class sect had their vice hall master killed by an unknown member of Mu Clan, it was impossible for them to not fly into a rage.

But Chivalry Sect seemed to be rather innocent in this entire mess.

Due to the fact that they were allies with Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect, when they saw that Mu Clan members were attacked by Class One Hall members, the people from Chivalry Sect also rushed over.

The end result of it was that the Chivalry Sect members on the plains also became a huge target for Class One Hall.

Then, Happy continuously received letters from Thunderous Battle asking for permission to go to war. Phoenix Dances did the same thing, and so did Rampaging Dragon. Then, Wind Assault Tower’s Phantasmal Tower, Wind and Rain Alliance’s Night Rain Follows Wind, and Chivalry Sect’s Wind Void all sent him letters stating that since Dream Clouds has decided to launch a large scale attack this time, they will play along with her and push down Class One Hall in the process!

Right now, Towering Palace had already been destroyed. When they had all their pomp, bravado, and strength stripped off of them, Class One Hall became alone in this entire situation, and it was difficult for them to last. At this moment, fighting against Mu Clan and the rest was the same as jumping into fire.

“Red Coral, you’re the military advisor for Black Rose Clan. Tell me what you think of this.”

Happy suddenly sprung this question on Red Coral while he rode on his horse.

She was clearly stunned for a moment, seemingly surprised by how Happy would actually ask for her opinion at such an important time.

But Red Coral soon adjusted her emotions. She furrowed her eyebrows and thought about this for a moment before she voiced her thoughts after she analyzed the situation a little, “Based on what I remember, Dream Clouds is a very powerful person, and she won’t do something that she isn’t confident with.”

Happy said nothing about that. He just nodded.

This was something many people understood.

Besides, this time, Dream Clouds had resolutely declared war on four great factions of power. This was a major operation, and she could do it at ease. In just the blink of an eye, she seemed to be able to mobilize all tens of thousands of members from her hall in one night. There was no way a person who had her emotions control her thoughts will be able to deploy her troops so carefully and in such a well thought out manner in anger.

“The Emperor’s Announcement event will provide protection to all sects and their branches during the month of the event, and it’s effective to all sects in the Chinese server. To Dream Clouds, this is a favorable opportunity. The war happened at the Mongolian border, and to Class One Hall, it’s as if the war happened at their backyard, and this is a geographical advantage. Right now, Dream Clouds used the reason of Blood Robes’ death to attack us and managed to gather everyone from Class One Hall so that they can be focused on attacking us, and this is because she has the support from her people. Dream Clouds has a favorable opportunity, geographical advantage, and support from her people. By the looks of it, she might be serious this time.”

“…A brilliant analysis.”

Happy’s eyes lit up, and he immediately viewed Red Coral at a greater light.

Even though he realized that Dream Clouds might have a scheme for her becoming aggressive at this moment, after Red Coral’s explanation, he instantly found everything to be presented clearly to him, and everything that Dream Clouds did also became much clearer.

It was no wonder why Black Rose Clan, a gaming guild who only took in female players, had been able to last until now. Red Coral’s views were indeed extraordinary.

Sometimes, when she viewed certain things, she was indeed much more attentive and sensitive to details!

Happy could not help but ask, “When you say that Class One Hall has favorable opportunities, geographical advantage, and support from their own people, are you saying that we will definitely lose if we fight against Class One Hall?”

“If you do it now, you will definitely lose!”

Red Coral’s firm tone caused Happy to frown a little.

She seemed to be able to see that Happy could not accept her answer, and she was unable to control herself from adding, “What I mean is that if we attack with our full strength against Class One Hall right now, we will definitely lose.”

“What do you mean?” Happy could tell that she had an underlying meaning in her words.

Red Clouds spoke freely and boldly as she went straight to the point, “Even if Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, along with Wind and Rain Alliance add all their members together, we don’t even have forty thousand people on our side. Aside from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect’s strength being slightly up to standard, Wind Assault Tower doesn’t have enough elites, and they have only a few members. Wind and Rain Alliance has more than twenty sects under them, and while they have a lot of members, they have too few elites, and their members are not united. We can’t guarantee that they’re willing to give up everything to fight to the death. At the end of the day, the ones who can truly fight in a war of attrition against Class One Hall is really only Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect.”

Happy had nothing to say about that. He could only nod.

This was something he had to admit.

“Our forces of power are at the south, and we’ll need at least five days to gather them and send them to the north. But that’s only to the north, and they’ll only be able to enter Class One Hall’s territory by then, not to the borders.”

Happy nodded again. The data Red Coral gave him was still rather on the reserved side, because the mobilization of forces from different cities was very troublesome, and it cannot be settled with just one sentence. Class One Hall’s branches were stationed everywhere in the north, and it will be very easy for them to set up obstacles for Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect on the paths that they must take. It was basically impossible for the forces at the south to make it to the borders within five days.

“Five days is enough to shave off our patience, and it’s also enough for the people from Class One Hall to completely control the War Achievement Point Rank at the borders!”

Red Coral’s words caused Happy to regard her with a new light once again.

Once they controlled the Guanlin Temples, Class One Hall had already won half the fight.

In truth, this was precisely what Class One Hall was doing right now, and they had already caused the people from Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance to not dare come out.

The more Red Coral spoke, the graver her expression became. “We only have so few people. The situation is better for us if we stay at the event area at the borders, but if we left the event area and die, we can forget about escaping from Class One Hall’s hands. Five days is enough for Class One Hall to control the war achievement system, and as long as Dream Clouds orders a certain group of people to fight for war titles, we’ll no longer be able to attack them in front of any NPCs! That includes the time when we are in the event area and outside the event area…”
