Sword Among Us Chapter 1107

Unexpectedly, the battle outside Lovely Land's headquarters entered an incredibly devastating cycle right from the start.

Hundreds of thousands of Class One Hall members launched a nearly frenzied offence, and multiple top-class elites tore up a bigger gap at the east of the headquarters. Both armies quickly engaged each other a close-quarters combat and did not use any long-ranged weapons. Shouts and the sounds of weapons clashing against each other filled the air. More people from Class One Hall surged inside, and they quickly gained their footing and gradually gained an advantage over Lovely Land. Once they did, they began contributing further into the war.

But the west showed a different situation right now, and it was a situation that Happy and One Emperor created.

The tens of thousands of people who had been gathered at Ghost's Domain before the battle had charged over quietly and attacked Class One Hall's rear. They caught Class One Hall off guard, and many of them were thrown off their horses.

The encirclement area was large, but in the blink of an eye, the tens of thousands of people at the entire western front were sent scattering.

Under Happy and One Emperor's lead, tens of thousands of people split up into two forces. They were in charge of spreading the flames of war to the south and north.

They showed no intention of providing reinforcements to the headquarters and just fought with the thought of killing their enemies while their enemies killed their people.

Whoosh!

Happy took the lead and charged into the densest area like a phantom. He brandished Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, and not a single person within a circular area of around sixty-five feet was left alive.

“Kill them!”

Most of the group who followed behind Happy were former members of the two Beijing sects or former Wind Assault Tower members who left their sect. Even though they were inferior to Class One Hall members in certain aspects, right now, their morale was high, and while they chased after the terrified Class One Hall members, they actually gained a slight advantage over them.

One Emperor and Happy had similarities and differences in their attack styles.

The similarity between them was that their sword technique was incredibly fatal, and the damage they dealt was matchless.

But the difference was that the attack from One Emperor's sword technique was incredibly concentrated, and he needed to target his attack at a specific person. His attacks were like a thin, sharp glare that no one could block. The area of damage was small, which was why the number of people he could kill each time he attacked was limited, but his advantage was that he was so fast that he could cover this weakness.

When Happy swung his Recondite Steel Heavy Sword around once, One Emperor had already delivered multiple slashes. He moved around freely in the army, and anyone who was watching would be able to see the people charging at him fall to the sides of the path he tread.

His black sword forces were like black lightning bolts in the night sky. Each time he sliced past an area, he could make those Class One Hall members be unable to help themselves but feel a chill rise from the bottom of their hearts, because an unknown number of people would have died because of the slash again.

Happy's attack speed might be slow, but each swing was astonishing.

The effect of him killing multiple people with one swing was stronger compared to One Emperor killing multiple people with multiple slashes. It was also much more intimidating and delivered a more shocking impact to the mind. He gave off the feeling that he was a one-man army.

There were quite a number of top-class elites from Class One Hall in the west, but when they saw Happy and One Emperor killing so many people with each swing of their swords, they could not help but suck in sharp breaths, and they did not dare go up against their aggressive offense head-on.

When Dream Clouds received the news from the west, the tens of thousands of people Happy and One Emperor led had already entered Dream Clouds and her guards' field of vision from the south and north.

Dream Clouds was rendered speechless. With a pale face, she stopped the person behind her from coming up to report the situation to her. Instead, she took two steps forward.

She looked at the chaos quickly spreading toward her from the south and north, and a great chill crawled down Dream Clouds' spine.

Ten minutes ago, she did not understand why Happy had spared her, and she also could not understand why she felt so uneasy, but now, she understood.

Even though Happy had killed Evil Emperor, Happy still used an incredibly conversation and level-headed manner to handle the fight. He did not believe himself to be invincible even after he won against Evil Emperor.

In an instant, Dream Clouds seemed to have understood what Happy meant by those words.

He said those words because he wanted her to stabilize her own heart and also stabilize the hearts of the four hundred thousand people from Class One Hall so that they would stay at Lovely Land's headquarters.

Happy knew right from the start that the defense line from Lovely Land's headquarters could not possibly stop Class One Hall and Wild Wolves from progressing at full force. Hence, he never intended to use Lovely Land's headquarters as the battlefield for them to fight to the death.

Before the battle, Happy was focused on creating and waiting for a chance. He waited for her to lower her guard and for Class One Hall to reveal an opening on their own. At the same time, he waited for a chance for him to be able to largely reduce Class One Hall's surviving fighting force.

They might seem to have stormed Lovely Land's headquarters and the situation might appear to be dire for them in this battle, but just as Happy predicted, no matter how fierce Class One Hall attacked them, it was impossible for them to destroy the headquarters within a short amount of time, since there were seventy to eighty thousand people guarding the headquarters, and there were also tall walls and top-class elites positioned all over the place to protect it.

But Happy had used the place where Evil Emperor died to reveal an opening in his defense. Then, he intentionally let her live in apparent high spirits, revealing his second opening in the process.

But he did this so that Dream Clouds and all the elite Wild Wolves would stay at the east of the headquarters, and Dream Clouds' attention was also focused on the eastern gap. Then, Happy spared no pains in using all the people in Lovely Land's headquarters as bait.

Happy did all this with the sole purpose of creating a chance for him to launch a large-scale massacre.

He managed to kill tens of thousands of Class One Hall members in one go with the tens of thousands of elites who hid themselves in the dark and approached them from the back to ambush them.

Right now, Dream Clouds was in a predicament.

One of them was to continue bracing herself and forcing herself to continue taking down Lovely Land.

But if she did this, there would be no one who could stop the threat posed by Happy, One Emperor, and the tens of thousands of Lovely Land members posed to the large group of people outside the headquarters.

Class One Hall would suffer an increasingly great loss.

With its headquarters serving as their support, the speed in which they suffered losses would obviously be smaller compared to the fierce fighting on the plains. The losses Class One Hall suffered would be greater than their losses.

Her second choice was to have all her attacking forces retreat so that they could focus on attacking the tens of thousands of people Happy and One Emperor led.

However, right now, there were at least more than twenty thousand elites who had rushed into Lovely Land's headquarters.

Forget about whether she could send her orders to the frontlines inside, even if her orders did manage to reach them, this group of people would definitely suffer devastating losses while they were retreating, because the tens of thousands of people in Lovely Land's headquarters were not a decoration! They would not allow their enemies to flee from their hands so easily.

Regardless of how the situation ended, Class One Hall would still face an incredibly grim and dangerous situation.

What agonized Dream Clouds and the others even more was that twenty thousand people had received orders and left just now to head to Beijing to intercept the ragtag group coming from the capital.

Right now, there were fewer than two hundred thousand people who were left on the plains.

Regardless of what Dream Clouds chose, when the battle, not many of the four hundred thousand Class Hall forces would be left.

Dream Clouds said nothing. While she did her best to control her emotions so that she would not lose her composure too much, her hands trembled nonstop as she clenched and unclenched her fists repeatedly.

A large number of players heard news about the battle and rushed over. They stood at a high spot far away from the battle and discussed it under the night sky. They did not dare to readily approach the greatest battle in the Chinese server.

But when they saw such a strange situation, many people still could not quite understand what was going on.

“How exactly are they fighting this battle?”

“There's smoke rising from Lovely Land's headquarters, but why is there a group of people who attacked Class One Hall's rear from outside? I don't see them attempting a break out at all.”

“Who knows? I'm just confused by this entire thing.”

While they discussed this battle, no one noticed a black shadow charge into the battlefield as quickly as lightning.

Evil Emperor!

After he went through the cycle of reinforcement, the former strongest player in the game reappeared swiftly in the battlefield with a grim, cold, and chilling air around him.

But when he saw the scene in front of them, he was slightly stunned.

When Dream Clouds sent word to him just now, the situation had been good. She mentioned that she had managed to invade the headquarters of Lovely Land, and there were nearly three hundred thousand people left of her army of four hundred thousand.

But now, by the looks of it, only half of the grand and magnificent army of four hundred thousand was left.

A fight had also broken out at their rear, and the situation of them being suppressed had already appeared.

However, there was also a fight waging in Lovely Land's headquarters. Shouts for murder and the sounds of weapons clashing rose to the sky.

The situation was already incredibly bad.

He looked around. Evil Emperor scowled, and he immediately found the figure that caused his expression to turn dark.

Almost at the same time, Happy felt fear strike his heart. He instinctively turned his head around, and their gazes met under the dark sky.

Sizzle!

There seemed to be nothing that could block their gazes in the world. Intense sparks shone in their eyes.

Happy stopped. Evil Emperor, too, stopped.

Happy moved and left the battlefield. He arrived sixty-five feet away from Evil Emperor and spoke coldly, “Second round?”

Evil Emperor did not answer. He placed his hands behind his back and slowly faded away when he fused with the world.

He used his actions as an answer to Happy's question.

Happy frowned.

Judging by Evil Emperor's actions, he might have already recovered to a state of calmness and rationality. He intended to use his pseudo One with the World Realm to slowly whittle down Happy's strength.

When he was in this state, Evil Emperor was indeed invincible.

At the very least, Happy knew that it was impossible for him to win against Evil Emperor in terms of speed. There might be no one in the current World of Martial Arts who could win against him when it came to speed.

Happy focused his gaze and put Recondite Steel Heavy Sword back into his Universe Bag. Under Evil Emperor's burning gaze, he brought out Golden Scale Divine Sword.

“Second round!”

Right when Evil Emperor's voice rose, he swiftly vanished from Happy's sight.

“Evil Emperor is here.”

When she saw that the chaos at the south had gradually been snuffed out, Dream Clouds could not help but suck in a deep breath. She used her slightly trembling hands to clench the longsword in her hands, and with a firm tone, she gave her orders.

“Counterattack!

“You don't have to protect me. Lingyun, Huasheng, lead a group to the north and lure One Emperor away. Others, use the shortest amount of time to kill all the Lovely Land members outside!”

Evil Emperor's timely appearance finally caused Dream Clouds to have a spark of hope rise in her heart.

As long as she could kill all the people outside Lovely Land, she would more or less have some hope in winning. At the very least, the situation had not turned entirely bad. Even if she lost Beijing, she could use the branches the elite Wild Wolves had secured to continue maintaining a firm grip over the Chinese server. And she would still have hope in turning the tables around.

This was what Dream Clouds thought.

The Guanlin Temple in a city nearby was already stuffed full of people.

In the beginning, it was occupied by the people from Class One Hall. Nearly one hundred thousand people had filled this Guanlin Temple, and they looked incredibly miserable. Up to now, half of the people from Class One Hall and Lovely Land had died, and Lovely Land members began to appear frequently in Guanlin Temple.

West Biscuit was a person's in-game name. He was twenty-six years old, and he was a rather famous spy in Class One Hall. Due to his ability in taking in multiple things in a glance, he was stationed at Guanlin Temple by Dream Clouds to observe the number of dead.

In the past, Dream Clouds used this method to judge whether the situation was disadvantageous or advantageous to her and also to judge how grim her current situation was.

West Biscuit had his own method to quickly figure out which sect the people who were resurrected in Guanlin Temple belonged to.

During the ten minutes he was stationed at Guanlin Temple, West Biscuit thought that Class One Hall had launched a suicide mission.

One hundred thousand people died during those ten minutes, and this death rate was the most terrifying he had ever seen ever since he joined the game.

However, a few minutes ago, the situation finally started turning around.

Even though another jump in the number of deaths appeared once more during those few minutes in the past and Class One Hall lost nearly forty thousand people, but the line connecting them to victory had still not snapped.

The line was two hundred thousand people.

The number of deaths had not surpassed two hundred thousand people yet. If it went over, that line would snap.

As for Lovely Land, they had lost more than seventy thousand people by now.

This meant that Class One Hall still had an overwhelming advantage when it came to the number of people they had.

But at that moment, a group of people appeared in Guanlin Temple, and immediately after, all of Guanlin Temple descended into chaos.
