Chapter 888: Dream Clouds’ Ambush Plan
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Just when the group of Mu Clan higher ups from the University of South China were gathered together, the twenty thousand or so people from the four sects gathered together under the night sky in the game.
Their one hundred thousand cavaliers isolated a large part of the area, and no one else was allowed to enter.
There was a small empty s.p.a.ce isolated at the center of the four sects.
Sitting there were Mu Clan’s Happy, Thunderous Battle, Little North, Momo, Chivalry Sect’s Wind Void, Lin Xiao, Red Dust, and Wind a.s.sault Tower’s Phantasmal Shadow, Wu Kuo.
Wind and Rain Alliance’s Night Rain Follows Wind brought his two vice alliance masters with him, and they were the last to arrive because they had been carrying out quests at the back of the line. Before they even sat down, they already noticed the stern expressions and the solemn as well as grave atmosphere among the few people.
“Night Rain, you’re here. Happy, now that the people in charge of the four sects have arrived, you can tell us why you asked us to gather here, right?” Lin Xiao asked with great urgency.
In truth, he had long since lost his patience from asking that question, but he still held back.
When Happy gathered everyone together, he never said the reason for the gathering. He just kept receiving and sending out messenger pigeons.
He never stopped writing and reading letters over the past half an hour, and Lin Xiao did not manage to find a chance where Happy was not writing or reading to ask his question, which was why he waited in great torment for more than half an hour.
Happy had never gathered everyone together with such a stern and serious manner. But no matter how dumb a person was, when he or she thought about how abnormal Happy acted, they will be able to guess more or less certain things at that moment.
Happy will definitely not have called everyone here for something as simple as to drink tea and chat.
And just as Lin Xiao expected, when Happy spoke, he seized the hearts of all the ten people at the center.
“I asked all of you here today because something major happened! You should already know about the International Influential Rank of the Strong.”
Silence fell among them.
Some of them were stunned, some came to a realization, but most of them were surprised.
“It came from an American player who calls himself the Prophet in the game. He’s prepared to create an International Influential Rank of the Strong and an International Great People Rank. I didn’t expect that aside from China, there will be quite a number of amazing players from other countries as well. This is indeed something major.” Lin Xiao stared at Happy’s calm side profile. “But this shouldn’t be great enough to make us uneasy…”
When he said this, everyone put on expressions that said that they agreed with him.
But still, no one showed any sign of impatience. They were certain that Happy will not do something without a goal. He must definitely have summoned them here for more important matters.
Phantasmal Shadow fixed her beautiful eyes on Happy’s face, and she said nothing.
She was also waiting.
Even though she had already guessed the reason why Happy invited the four sects together to discuss this matter and even though she predicted that this meeting will definitely come at the moment the Emperor’s Announcement event came to an end, before Happy made his decision, she cannot be absolutely sure.
To her, Happy was too much of an abnormality!
“Let’s set aside the Prophet and the International Influential Rank of the Strong and not talk about them for the moment.
“Let’s talk about our current situation. The event is about to come to an end, and the protection provided by the military rank system will soon disappear as well. Everyone, do you have a plan to get out of the north back to your bases safely?”
No one said anything.
After Happy finished speaking, the people looked at each other at a loss.
“With Cla.s.s One Hall’s current strength, they should not dare to fight against our sects anymore. Isn’t Dream Clouds afraid of us working together and completely destroying Cla.s.s One Hall?” Red Dust asked in puzzlement.
Night Rain Follows Wind, Lin Xiao, and the rest nodded.
In truth, they thought about this question before, but they thought that the possibility of Cla.s.s One Hall attacking them was not high.
Even though the twenty thousand people from the four sects might be completely swallowed by Cla.s.s One Hall, Dream Clouds should know that once war broke out between them and the four sects worked together, Cla.s.s One Hall will not be able to withstand the flames of war burning at them!
When he heard this, Happy smiled. “If I faced this question more than twenty days ago, I’d be certain that Dream Clouds will not have the courage to cause trouble, but now, Dream Clouds’ intentions is already revealed when she ordered one hundred thousand Cla.s.s One Hall members to attack us. Right now, she’s no longer worried about us working together. She has, in fact, certain that our sects will definitely wage war against her once the Emperor’s Announcement event is over, and she is sure that we already have an agreement between us.”
When Happy worded things this way, the people pondered over his words, and they, too, thought that it was logical.
Indeed, Cla.s.s One Hall had long since become complete enemies against the four sects.
There was no longer any possibility for both sides to coexist harmoniously.
Seizing all chances of beating down the enemy and destroying them was a way to protect herself and her hall. This was indeed a way to survival.
Silence.
When Happy saw the group becoming quiet, he brought out two letters from his Universe Bag.
“Everyone, do you know what Cla.s.s One Hall has been doing over the period of time they laid low?”
Lin Xiao first took over the letter Happy handed to him in surprise. When he opened it and read it, his expression instantly became much more solemn.
“What’s wrong?”
Red Dust and Wind Void leaned in from the sides, and when they read the contents in the letter, their expressions changed drastically.
“That woman has the heart of a snake!”
“What’s wrong?”
Night Rain Follows Wind, Phantasmal Shadow, and the others did not know the contents of the letter, and they felt as curious as a cat.
“This is something I asked Wandering Know-it-all help me check,” Happy said with a solemn tone, “Ever since they suffered a setback at the plains, Dream Clouds is certain that our sects are prepared to work together to destroy Cla.s.s One Hall, and she has been making a lot of arrangements. Over this period of time, she contacted a lot of foreign elites, and among them are America’s Dragon Sect, j.a.pan’s Three Dragons Guild, Korea’s Tristar Sword Sect, Persia’s Eight Heavenly Dragons, Life and Death Fist Asura, who is ranked at the fifth on the International Great People Rank, along with the third on that same rank, Snake King Gupta.”
No one said nothing.
Later on, Happy even mentioned a lot of the names belonging to foreign factions of power. There were so many of them that they caused the leaders of the three sects suck in sharp breaths, look at each other, and cry out in surprise.
“Just what is Dream Clouds thinking about?!”
“Dragon Sect has been eyeing the resources in China with hunger, and they have been restless since a long time ago. Three Dragons Guild and Tristar Sword Sect failed in their plot and went back to their country. Is she planning to bring back all these foreign factions of power to serve as her backup?”
“I don’t think they’re going to be necessarily backup,” Happy said in a thought provoking tone, “Dragon Sect is still very strong. Even though they suffered quite a lot of losses last time, one month has pa.s.sed since then, and they should have recovered. Besides, we have been busy doing quests over the past month, and the progress of our training has clearly fallen back.”
“Happy, are you saying that they will actually still dare to enter the plains?”
Happy said, “It’s not impossible. Dream Clouds knows very well that with Cla.s.s One Hall’s current strength, it’s impossible for her to fight against us anymore. That’s why she intends to use foreign powers to throw the Chinese server into chaos so that we won’t have time to bother about her.”
Once he finished speaking, Phantasmal Shadow continued with a solemn expression, “But how did she get into contact with these people?”
Perhaps Phantasmal Shadow was the only person who had the greatest knowledge about what sort of situation the Chinese server will be in after the diverse and complicated foreign factions of power entered, and she also knew how harmful it will be for them. The advantage the four sects had was not very great. Once foreign powers came in and interfered with them, there was a great chance that Cla.s.s One Hall will get the chance to get themselves back on their feet.
“Look at this.” Happy handed over his second letter.
“It’s actually related to him?”
“I didn’t expect this as well… Divination requires the player to pay quite the high price. This is something Wandering Know-it-all told me. His Universe Secrets Inkstone can somewhat allow him to read the information of all the elites in China, but when it comes to the entire world, if the diviner doesn’t have quite the fortune acc.u.mulated over generations in a family and a whole load of resources, it’s impossible for it to work. This is something that Wandering Know-it-all only managed to know after two days.
“Dream Clouds already contacted the Prophet before the International Influential Rank of the Strong was uploaded.”
“Since Dream Clouds has already made her plans, let’s not dilly-dally anymore. Before she can begin causing trouble all over the Chinese server, we have to destroy her.” Lin Xiao swung his arm. “What say you?”
Happy exchanged a glance with the other ten people and nodded.
