Sword Among Us

The information that Red Coral revealed caused Happy to be stunned, and at the same time, slightly astonished.

Since the start of the event, there were still very few people who gained military titles, but based on the information that Red Coral coincidentally obtained from the forums, it was clear that those who obtained military titles could get certain benefits.

When players obtained military titles, they will obtain the acknowledgement from the military. Becoming a part of the army will make whosoever attacked or harmed the players who obtained military titles will be the same as insulting the emperor. They will be hunted down by the army and the imperial court. At that time, not only will their military achievements be reduced to zero, later on, they might not even be able to participate in any quests.

After all, a player will already need two hundred military points to get even the lowest military title—5-man commander. This already meant that they will need to kill twenty Mongolian cavaliers. Hence, there were already quite a lot of players who had already used the points they obtained in exchange for the title of a 5-man commander, which was the lowest military title available.

Also, since they were still at the first day, many players did not dare cause trouble and played the game together in harmony, which was why those who had the military titles did not manage to trigger the benefits brought by their military titles.

There were also not many people who got to learn the information that had been leaked to the public.

However, there were not many people in Mu Clan who learned about this. As of current, Red Coral was the only one who mentioned this among the higher ups, and this was already something that caused Happy to be wary. They were a large sect, and if they were behind times when it came to information gathering, it will be very fatal to them.

It was just as Red Coral said, if Mu Clan recklessly fought against Class One Hall, since they did not know about the dual existence of the military title system and the quests from Emperor’s Announcement, the situation will be increasingly bad for Mu Clan.

When he thought of this, Happy ordered Red Coral with a stern tone. “Next time, whenever you have any information, remember to share it with Thunderous Battle, Silver Wolf, and Phoenix Dances.”

“Got it.” Red Coral nodded in shock.

Her unintentional words might have allowed her to perform a meritorious deed.

*****

[Those who have war achievement points, immediately exchange them for military titles, even if it’s the lowest title, 5-man commander!

[When you fight against Class One Hall, make sure that there isn’t any NPC around you. If there is, try to avoid fighting at all costs, unless you are certain that your enemy doesn’t have any military title.]

Two pieces of information were swiftly sent to all Mu Clan members, Wind Assault Tower members, Chivalry Sect members, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance members!

“Then are we still going now?” Red Coral asked.

Happy nodded without hesitation. “Of course!”

Red Coral frowned slightly. Happy already knew that this was a scheme Dream Clouds set up, if he continued heading to the spot where the battle broke out, it will be a little too irrational.

If she were in her place, she will definitely return to the camp right now and get a military title. Even if they wanted to fight, they should wait until then.

When he noticed the puzzlement in Red Coral’s eyes, Happy was generous with sharing his thoughts. “Since there must be NPCs around the area for the military title system to provide protection to the players, it means that there are still loopholes to be exploited. As long as we get rid of all the NPCs in the area, we’ll be fine.”

Red Coral was stunned silent. ‘Getting of all the NPCs in the area is not so easy, you know?!’

*****

The corpses of the soldiers from the Chinese and Mongolian armies numbered to more than ten thousand. They were scattered all over the place on the plains, and their corpses spread to several miles of the area. Quite a number of horses who were now deprived of their rides lay on the ground neighing laboriously in pain, and it was a desolate sight that can only be seen after a war.

Thousands of people were still engaged in a bloody fight just miles away! Weapons clashed against each other, and sparks flew everywhere. Along with the blood that will occasionally gush into the air, the battlefield on the plains showed a rarely seen sight of vengeful slaughter in the world of martial artists. Groups of people chased after each other and killed each other. Their attacks were fierce and fatal, and there were thousands of corpses from different factions of power in the area.

The remaining people were all Class One Hall and Mu Clan elites!

Class One Hall was originally at a disadvantage.

But Class One Hall was very quick when it came to providing reinforcements. Barren Murderer led more than one thousand people from the distance to help in the battle, and he took over Dream Clouds to fight against Silver Wolf, who had originally caused her to have a rather hard time. He managed to hold the fort, and also suppressed Mu Clan.

But Mu Clan was not slow in providing reinforcements either. Rampaging Dragon and the others led another group of Mu Clan members to charge over to the place, and both sides entered a tense stalemate once more.

While Barren Murderer was strong and could make a person find it hard to adapt to his Heaven and Earth Great Shift, Silver Wolf had long since perfected his Red Flame Palm.

The requirement of qi for Heaven and Earth Great Shift was great, and it drained such a large amount of qi with each usage that it always surpassed the qi recovery speed for Barren Murderer.

If Silver Wolf circulated his Red Flame Palm well, he can cause his enemy’s qi to drain rapidly. Silver Wolf did not ask anyone to help him. In fact, he did not even need to fight head on with Barren Murderer. He just needed to move around and stall for time, and he did not even bother with Barren Murderer’s Heaven and Earth Great Shift as well as his Undying King of Abyss Art. He could easily cause Barren Murderer to repeatedly be in a state where he ran low on qi and had to take medicinal pills nonstop to quickly restore the qi he quickly lost.

However, as long as Barren Murderer’s Undying King of Abyss Art was not broken and he still had some qi in him, it was impossible for Silver Wolf to pose as a threat to Barren Murderer’s life. This was something that made him troubled, and it was also the reason why Silver Wolf did not manage to win against Barren Murderer even after a long time had passed.

Class One Hall and Mu Clan fought to equal grounds on the other sides of the battlefield.

Besides, since they were the elites from two top-class sects, if they really could not win the fight, they will run.

During the process where one party fled and the other gave chase, no one could do anything to the other, and that included Dream Clouds and Phoenix Dances.

Once Barren Murderer lured away Silver Wolf, who was the most difficult person to deal with, Dream Clouds instantly had her pressure reduced by a large degree, and she immediately cast her gaze on the second strongest person in Mu Clan in this place, the former faction master of Beautiful Robes Faction, Phoenix Dances.

Dream Clouds instantaneously revealed her strength!

She relied on Divine Flames Art, which she obtained from West Region, to fight against Phoenix Dances. It was a palm technique that also had the effect of evaporating qi, but she was not as nimble and ruthless as Silver Wolf in her attacks. However, when her Divine Flames Art reached the later stages, her dazzling Rolling Palm Flame Saber will be as fast as lighting. The damage was incredibly domineering, and right when they exchanged hits, Phoenix Dances nearly suffered a great setback. If it were not because her fourth-echelon demon vessel had an astonishing defense, allowing Phoenix Dances’ defense to be great, she might have long since lost in the fight.

“Hmph, your equipment is pretty decent.”

Even though Dream Clouds did not manage to kill Phoenix Dances in one hit, she was very confident in winning.

After all, although Phoenix Dances had a very fierce staff technique, the Flame Clouds Saber Dream Clouds inherited from Jiu Mozhi was considered a pseudo ultimate technique, and with Divine Flames Art supporting it, its damage had even surpassed a normal ultimate technique. She will have no problem in fighting against Phoenix Dances.

But right when Phoenix Dances heard Dream Clouds’ mocking snort, she seemed to have her anger stirred up. She arrogantly put away her Phoenix Wings Trident into her Universe Bag and brought out very heavy golden broadsaber…

Whoosh!

Right when the golden saber was brought out, Phoenix Dances flung it casually, and a faint sound of air being sliced unintentionally dug a trench on the plains.

She did not release any saber glare or pour her qi inside. It was just a normal slash, but it managed to create such an effect, and Dream Clouds instantly had a solemn look in her eyes while she furrowed her eyebrows.

Dream Clouds said nothing. Naturally, she did not know that this was a divine weapon stolen from the Myth Realm elite, Jin Jiu, who was a forgemaster. However, based on the shine on the blade itself, she could guess that while the ferocity of the saber might not compare to Dragon Saber, it was still a saber where the slashes were difficult to parry, and it was not a normal high-grade divine weapon.

Phoenix Dances turned her body to the side and lifted the saber with both hands. She stared at Dream Clouds, and the qi from her body instantly changed! A dangerous presence with its aggression restrained slowly spread out as she lifted the saber.
