Chapter 1104: Happy’s Carelessness?

The wretched sight of Flame Wolf having his arms torn off and his body stuck full of hidden weapons while he convulsed on the ground caused all the people from Class One Hall to suck in sharp breaths. They moved back, and when they looked at Happy again, not only were their eyes filled with respect and wariness, there was also a hint of indescribable fear.

Thud! Thud!

Happy slowly walked past Flame Wolf’s body, which no longer looked like it even belonged to a human.

Deafening shouts for murder still filled the area around the headquarters of Lovely Land. Four hundred thousand people went up against one hundred and twenty thousand people, but Happy remained relaxed and composed. His gaze was calm, and he did not look as if he intended to immediately take action to kill these Class One Hall elites or seize time to disrupt the rear end of Class One Hall’s forces.

“Dream Clouds.”

Happy suddenly came to a swift halt in the crowd.

His voice clearly traveled into the ears of all those within a circular area of 328 feet. His thick qi made his voice even louder, and it drowned out the sounds of the galloping horses and shouts around him. Everyone looked in the direction of Happy’s gaze, and they stared at Class One Hall’s master, Dream Clouds. At that moment, she was quietly retreating while a group of top-class elites surrounded her.

When she noticed everyone’s gazes gathering on her, Dream Clouds cautiously stopped withdrawing. She sat up straight on her horse and replied in a manner that was befitting of her grand status. “Our armies are fighting, and you are not defending Lovely Land within its headquarters… What do you want to say to me?”

While she spoke, she showed no trace of her being affected by Evil Emperor’s death. Her voice was firm, powerful, and clear.

Happy smiled coldly. “Hall Master Dream, truly, the more you setbacks, the more courageous you become. But I’ve long since predicted that Class One Hall and Evil Emperor will not easily give up on the dream to conquer the Chinese server.”

Dream Clouds said nothing, but a change finally appeared on her prideful and fearless face. She could not help but frown a little.

Happy’s clear voice continued traveling into her ears. “I will continue playing with you and Evil Emperor. As long as you remain in the Chinese server, Lovely Land will fight against you to the end!”

Dream Clouds’ expression sank. Those words were practically a declaration from Happy and Lovely Land!

However, things had already progressed to this stage. Dream Clouds could no longer turn back to achieve her goal. She could only fight with everything she had and work together with Wolf Wolves to engage Lovely Land in a full war of attrition to see just who could last to the end.

Even though Evil Emperor had already died, Evil Emperor replied very quickly and stated that he would rush over within the shortest time possible to hold Happy back.

The mighty Evil Emperor had agreed to hold back one single person, and this was already an equivalent to him lowering his status.

But with Evil Emperor guarding them, if they could hold back One Emperor, the motley crew that was Lovely Land will not be able to stand against the army from Class One Hall.

If Lovely Land was the first to crumble, Class One Hall would still have a chance to split its forces and regain the hundreds of cities in the north.

If Happy managed to defend the place, then not only will all their forces in the other cities in the north not dare to do anything to provide reinforcements, Wandering Know-it-all and the group of people he instigated to join the war in Beijing will also rush over to cause trouble.

Class One Hall’s army of four hundred thousand would be reduced to people without a home, and they would all die at the headquarters of Lovely Land.

The situation forced her hand.

Dream Clouds gritted her teeth and stared at Happy. She forced these words out of her mouth stiffly. “We’ll let our weapons show our true skills.”

“Well said!” Happy laughed.

He raised his face pridefully before he cast a cold glance behind Dream Clouds. Then, he vanished from the spot. A few seconds later, his voice came from another direction in the distance. “My fight against Evil Emperor has ended. Now, I will fight against you, Dream Clouds, as the sect master of Lovely Land. With the one hundred and twenty thousand ragtag bunch, I will force away the four hundred thousand elites you are so proud of.”

At the moment his bold words traveled into Dream Clouds’ ears from the distance, she squashed down the thought of retreating to a region no one would pay attention to once more. When she turned around, her gaze was fixed at the direction where Happy’s voice came from. Her chest heaved slightly.

A nameless fire burned fiercely in Dream Clouds’ heart, and it burned more intensely with each moment.

She was underestimated… but Dream Clouds was no longer bothered by it.

Because Happy’s strength was there in the open. Even the great and formerly most powerful player, Evil Emperor had died twice in Happy’s hands, and Dream Clouds did not have the thought of fighting against Happy personally.

However, on the battlefield, if they wanted to defeat the enemy, they had to first strike the leader!

This was an iron-clad rule!

But now, Happy had easily given up on that chance. He had even stated that he wanted to use the one hundred and twenty thousand ragtag army he spontaneously created to defeat the elite army she amassed over the years. He had even given her a safe environment to command her army.

Happy had clearly not treated Dream Clouds’ abilities as anything in his eyes.

This shall not stand!

“To the frontlines!”

A cold glare shone in her eyes, and Dream Clouds ordered.

The guards beside her did not remain idle. They quickly escorted Dream Clouds while opening up a path to arrive in front of the crowd that had not begun their charge. They stopped outside the shooting range of those Lovely Land members.

Dream Clouds cast a glance at the devastating battle going on in front of her, and she gave her orders quickly, just like a general.

“Have the people at Guanlin Temple immediately report the number of casualties at the branches!

“Send word to First Squad Captain Blood Robes. Have him immediately split his group into echelons. Shi Huasheng will be the captain of the first echelon, and his team will be in charge of holding back One Emperor. The others will increase their offense at the gaps at the southeast, north, and northwest!”

There was a group of people who was following Dream Clouds around. These people were in charge of contacting the other people in charge and sending messages to them in time.

When Dream Clouds sent her orders, these people immediately wrote their letters.

Once her voice faded away, many messenger pigeons were released one after another into the sky.

She turned her head around, and Dream Clouds stared at Peach Blossom as well as a group of Wild Wolves. After Happy left, they drew close to Dream Clouds from another direction.

“Everyone, since Happy has underestimated my ability in commanding my army, I will make him regret his decision right now! But I will need your help!”

“Hall master, you’re being too polite. Our leader has sent us a letter just now and told us to listen to your commands over this period of time. Your orders are his orders.”

The look in Peach Blossom’s eyes was incredibly chilly. Of course, that chill was not directed at Dream Clouds, but at a certain someone who just left into the distance.

“Good!” Dream Clouds readily nodded and ordered them. “Now, we have a ready made gap right in front of our eyes. I need you to help me tear another gap over here!”

She knew that right now, Class One Hall and Wild Wolves were facing their greatest danger. One careless mistake, and they would be destroyed at the Chinese server, and they would not be able to make a comeback. Hence, the coordination between these two great organizations reached its peak. Even the prideful aces of Wild Wolves were willing to receive all tasks to destroy Lovely Land. In fact, they would carry out their tasks meticulously. They would not even mind being sacrificed.

Peach Blossom looked in Dream Clouds’ direction, and she quickly understood where the read-made gap Dream Clouds spoke of was.

It was the path where Evil Emperor’s blood was spilled.

Since Happy was over there just now, the arrow shower from Lovely Land never enveloped this direction. It was the only clear vulnerability in the entire sphere shaped net of arrows.

Even though the people nearby could immediately provide support if they attempted to attack from this side, with the top-class elites’ abilities, they could directly threaten the archers outside the headquarters of Lovely Land before they could perfect the defense over there and strengthen the lockdown. In fact, they could tear a real gap in their defense line.

“No problem.” Peach Blossom only cast a glance at it before she nodded confidently. “When are we attacking?”

Dream Clouds did not answer immediately, because she had coincidentally received a letter from the members who were in the Guanlin Temple in a nearby city. The number she saw up there caused her face to turn slightly pale.

Peach Blossom had an instinctive feeling that the information was not very optimistic, which was why she asked that last question.

It was only at that moment that Dream Clouds snapped out of her gloom, and her eyes focused.

“We shan’t delay matters anymore! We attack immediately!”

The numbers sent to her from Guanlin Temple caused her to not want to waste even a single second.

The battle line at Lovely Land was too long.

It was so long that Dream Clouds did not expect that in just a few minutes, Class One Hall would suffer such severe casualties.

Eighty thousand!

Based on the records of those who died and were resurrected in Guanlin Temple. In just a few minutes just now, Class One Hall had more than eighty thousand people who died at the headquarters of Lovely Land.

And there were fewer than two thousand sacrifices from Lovely Land!

It was also at that moment that Dream Clouds finally realized just how long the battle line of Lovely Land’s headquarters was. Since it was built outside the city, it caused the number of people coming into contact with it at the same moment in one single instant to rise to a terrifying number!

And this was just the first defense line at the perimeter of Lovely Land. Class One Hall had not even touched the walls of Lovely Land’s headquarters, and they had already lost eighty thousand people when they were 328 feet away from it.

She could finally understand why Happy had so confidently stated that with just a ragtag army of one hundred and twenty thousand people, he could fight against Class One Hall’s army of four hundred thousand!

When they surrounded Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, they had sent an army that was twice or three times the army they deployed against Lovely Land. Even though they also paid quite a huge price during the attack, the number could not begin to compare to the number of casualties they suffered this time.

The area Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters occupied in the city was not big.

Since the area was small, even if only tens of thousands of people kept it under watch, there was a limit as to how many people could come into contact with it in one go. No more than five hundred people would attack it at once, but now, the battle line stretched out to miles, and when they came into contact with the defense line, they would have to send one thousand to two thousand people at it. If she continued losing people like this, even if the commander for Lovely Land did not have superior commanding tactics, with the unusual battle line and sufficient firepower, Lovely Land could still easily take away a corresponding number of enemy heads.

Dream Clouds immediately became nervous.

If she could not tear down the defense line swiftly and break the balance Lovely Land currently had, Class One Hall’s sacrifices will soon surpass the number of people stationed in Lovely Land’s headquarters.

This was also why she impatiently gave her order to Lovely Land and asked her to immediately launch her attack.

Peach Blossom did not disappoint her.

The ability within international mercenaries to execute every order without fail was much higher than normal players. They could also divide themselves into finer divisions of labor, and their teamwork was great. With just a few words, they were done making preparations for their offense.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before the people at Lovely Land could react, Peach Blossom and her group had already shot out 164 feet to 196 feet like a black bolt of lightning.

Before the group across them could cry out in surprise and before a small handful of arrows could fly at them, the sound of horse hooves thundering on the ground rose, and Class One Hall members, who had been accumulating strength for a long period of time, attracted even more attention for Wild Wolves.

Many of the Lovely Land members’ gazes were instantly attracted by the large group of Class One Hall members, and their firepower went toward them.

Peach Blossom led her elite Wild Wolves and quietly went up against a group of normal Lovely Land members. Their weapons flashed with a chilling light thirsting for blood.
