Chapter 746: Happy Attacked!

Happy attacked.

As war in Yangzhou City broke out, most of the regions in the Chinese server quickly descended into an incredibly tense calmness, as if signalling the beginning of a storm.

But war also broke out in two other places!

As the local forces as well as Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect’s forces in the south worked together to interfere with the cities in the coastal areas to the south in the Chinese server, more than thirty Towering Palace branches were attacked fiercely on the same day.

They did not have the strength to fight back at all. They were forced to retreat repeatedly, and they were mowed down like they were nothing.

Most of the Towering Palace members howled in endless suffering while they were killed or had to log off to avoid the disaster. Some of them just hid in the restaurant to observe the situation.

The people from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect moved through the streets inside and outside the cities like the wind with their weapons brandished. Occasionally, they can even see quite a number of people from local sects continuously mobilizing forces.

And among the local sects, the people from Wind and Rain Alliance were the ones who appeared the most frequently.

Wind and Rain Alliance had once lost quite a lot of resource points. Once Towering Palace and Mu Clan turned completely hostile against each other, Night Rain Follows Wind had personally led his troops to charge to the front without hesitation and controlled quite a lot of resource points that once belonged to Towering Palace.

Within less than half a day, aside from a few cities where the Towering Palace members resisted incredibly strongly, the other Towering Palace branches in other cities did not escape from their disaster. In an instant, they were destroyed under Mu Clan’s fiercest counterattack.

*****

As time passed, Clear Music’s expression gradually turned sour.

The situation at the backyard of Mu Clan’s branch was still very tense, but they had not completely taken it down yet.

Even though Mu Clan continuously had its members reduced and they were now beginning to be engaged in a war of attrition, Mu Clan’s depletion of members was not great. Instead, Towering Palace had already sacrificed thousands of their own, and among them were quite a number of branch masters and elders. Nearly half of the elites from Dragon Sect also died, and it was still very difficult for them to break the situation.

The backyard of Mu Clan’s branch was like a huge human meat grinder that harvested the lives of those from Towering Palace in frenzy.

Within less than half an hour, they had already lost thousands of elites, and the defense in the other three directions were still so sturdy that it brought chills to her heart.

No matter how slow-witted she was, Clear Music could sense that if this continued, even if they managed to take down Mu Clan, Towering Palace might end up have their core largely damaged.

Perhaps all the Towering Palace members in Yangzhou will end up dying!

She fell into silence.

At the same time, bad news occasionally came out from the headquarters.

During the time Musical Note served as garrison inside Towering Palace’s headquarters, she received numerous pleas for help from the branch masters in the cities to the south, along with the system notification that her branches had been attacked.

Dozens of branches in the cities in the coastal area were under heavy fire, and it will be very difficult for her people to defend them for long.

When she heard this news, Clear Music’s heart instantly turned cold.

This was practically the same as the entire south of the coastal area reporting an emergency!

The Music sisters were dumbfounded.

They originally thought that Mu Clan will definitely send forces to aid Yangzhou’s branch, and they did not expect that Happy’s first reaction would be to push down all the resource points Towering Palace had in the cities to the south in the coastal area and control the entire region in the south in his hands.

*****

“As expected of Happy. By doing so, the entire south will be in his control.” Dream Clouds and Barren Murderer did not remain idle in Beijing, they also received the latest news from the spies from various regions.

When they declared war, Class One Hall and Towering Palace were already in the same train as each other, and there was no way they could remain idle or negligent of the situation. They had been focusing on collecting information of Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect’s mobilization of forces!

Unfortunately for them, they had never heard of Mu Clan’s headquarters sending any forces to Yangzhou City.

Instead, Mu Clan’s branches in the cities near the intersection points between Mu Clan and Class One Hall as well as Towering Palace had been abnormally active. Their level of caution had become much higher, and Class One Hall was forced to suppress their plan of marching south!

“Looks like Happy is prepared to give up on Yangzhou,” Barren Murderer said with a frown.

Ever since he came back, Class One Hall’s might had indeed increased by leaps and bounds. Being the successor of Heaven and Earth Great Shift had allowed him to take up the mantle of Class One Hall’s vice hall master again. In fact, he was even confident that he could fight Happy head on.

“That’s not necessary,” Dream Clouds said, “Based on reliable sources, Happy is heading to Yangzhou, and he did not bring a lot of people with him.”

“Does he think that the people in Yangzhou City will be able to last for one day and a night while Towering Palace and Blood Robes are dealing with them?” Barren Murderer smiled coldly.

“That’s impossible,” Dream Clouds said with a shake of her head, “But Happy’s act of attacking calmly even in the face of danger is indeed very good. He devoured all the cities in the south in the coastal area in one go, and from now on, the south will be Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect’s world. It’ll be impossible for us to use this chance to restrict their actions.”

When she said this, the crease in between Dream Clouds’ eyebrows became deeper. “Even if we manage to take down the branch in Yangzhou City and Mu Clan’s core is shaken, Towering Palace might have already lost the ability to provide us with help or continue pushing forward. This battle will end up with Towering Palace and Mu Clan being heavily damaged. But with the resources from the south in the coastal area replenishing them, Mu Clan’s losses will be much lower.”

Barren Murderer said nothing when he heard this, and he could not help but frown. “This person is indeed Class One Hall’s greatest enemy. He has never made a mistake when he fights against us. Oh, no, I should say that he has never suffered any losses when he fought against us.”

Right when he finished speaking, Dream Clouds smiled coldly. “That’s not necessarily true.”

Barren Murderer was shocked speechless. When he saw how confident Dream Clouds was, Barren Murderer looked curious. “Hall master, do you have another part to your plan?”

“Of course, if I just relied on Dragon Sect’s elites and the information Blood Robes’ informant gave me, there is no way I will be so reckless as to turn against Mu Clan completely.”

Dream Clouds smiled.

Even though her main reason for attacking this time was because she knew that Happy wanted to attack Towering Palace, and she was worried that the balance of the four top-class sects controlling the game will be broken, but some new changes had appeared, and with a few forces of power pushing her to act, she made this incredibly perfect plan.

Not only did she set up a plan to destroy all of Mu Clan’s elites in Yangzhou, her plan was also made to target Happy himself!

“This time, I will make him understand what it means to suffer in silence.”

When he saw the familiar confident smile that said she was bound for victory appear on Dream Clouds’ lips, Barren Murderer felt slightly confident.

Because whenever Dream Clouds had that smile appear, the situation will usually already be set in stone!

But when he thought about the times Dream Clouds fought against Happy, he still could not help but frown, and he pushed down that surge of confidence in him a little. He subconsciously asked Dream Clouds just what she had prepared for Happy.

“Judging by the time, that side should have made ample preparations! You will soon learn of the details of the situation through the shift in ranks for Famous People Rank.” Dream Clouds smiled and shifted the topic. “At that time, Barren Murderer, you will be the final part of my plan. Once Happy, Silver Wolf, and the other Mu Clan higher-ups die and the news of their deaths spread through the game, Towering Palace will definitely not let go of the chance to expand their territory. At that time, you will suppress Happy for Class One Hall and completely break their defense line to the south! Today, I, Dream Clouds, will break the shackles Happy has placed on Class One Hall for half a year!”
