Sword Among Us

Chapter 830: War Achievements Increase By Leaps and Bounds

In truth, when the Mongolian cavaliers launched their charge, the ground of martial artists who were right at the back of the army were actually the most relaxed bunch. They stared at the Mongolian cavaliers who left into the distance, and that group of people stayed where they were while they marveled at how lucky they were. Only some of the people who were quick witted chose to follow the army. They summoned their steeds and chased after the Mongolian cavaliers.

But when dozens of those players who were shot down by an arrow shower at the rear of the Mongolian cavalier battalion, these people no longer dared act recklessly.

However, a change appeared in the situation right then.

More than two hundred Mongolian cavaliers suddenly left the main battalion.

These people instantly became restless!

“Hurry, throw your hidden weapons!”

Many players gathered together in great excitement.

But when their arrows and hidden weapons were thrown in a manner that filled the air, they noticed that their hidden weapons, and arrows left the trajectory they originally set for them.

Even though all of them struck the Mongolian cavaliers and more than half of the two hundred or so Mongolian cavaliers instantly fell from their steeds and died, the feeling they gave to the players was incredibly strange. The arrows and hidden weapons gathered together in the air, as if they were controlled by an invisible hand before they reset their target, and those weapons acted as if they had relation to them and were never fired from their hands.

The group of people looked at each other at a loss and stopped.

At that moment, someone finally noticed the sword glares that moved freely among the Mongolian cavaliers that had now spread out and had become scattered from each other. It was as if those sword glares were actually flowers of death that had bloomed, and they were continuously killing the remaining Mongolian cavaliers.

“That person...”

“He killed the 10,000-man commander.”

“Whew... Do you think what happened just now is related to him?”

“What else do you think? You can’t possibly think that this is something the Mongolian cavaliers did, right? Did you get your points?”

The group fell silent. They shook their heads.

At that moment. Someone in the group finally recognized Happy’s sword technique from the rapidly reducing number of Mongolian cavaliers.

“What a fast sword technique... Look, doesn’t that guy look like Happy?”

Boom!

That one sentence caused the crowd to burst into commotion. Many people put on shocked expressions.

“That should be him. Aside from a Moksha Realm player, who else will dare to rush into the Mongolian cavalry battalion alone?”

“The technique he used just now should be Shifting Stars... He actually managed to shift all our attacks to other places, that’s so amazing... I think all the points have been given to him.”

“If it’s him, then there’s no way we can play in the area anymore.”

The players who originally wondered whether they should go up and fight also had their restlessness die away, and they no longer decided to act rashly.

*****

On another battlefield in the plains were thousands of Class One Hall players, and they had monopolized the entire area!

They also fought with the Chinese army against the Mongolian cavaliers. Even though Mongolian cavaliers did not number more than two thousand, the battle had gained a different atmosphere.

Barren Murderer had his skin turn entirely black, and there was no shine on his skin. He moved around fearlessly among the Mongolian cavaliers while there were all sorts of poisonous creatures crawling about in a dense fashion on the ground. Almost every horse was bitten to death, and the Mongolian cavaliers were forced to get down from their horses to fight. Just like this, Barren Murderer went up against the Mongolian cavaliers who wielded hatchets. He collided into those Mongolian cavaliers recklessly and did not care about the weapons that hit him.

Even if those weapons hit fatal areas, as long as they did not go for his head, he did not dodge them.

Heaven and Earth Great Shift could easily move the important positions in his body elsewhere, and it could also weaken enemy attacks or shift enemy attacks elsewhere. Even though he had to use quite a lot of qi for it, Class One Hall was not stingy when they gave their high-class medicinal pills to Barren Murderer...

With each attack, he could kill a few Mongolian cavaliers.

“Be prepared to set up an isolation zone, and don’t let the Chinese army come and bother us.”

Evil Wolf rode on his horse with a ghastly look in his eyes. While a group of Class One Hall elites surrounded him, he paid close attention to the situation in the battlefield, and he will occasionally give some commands.

“Order our hall members to not touch even a single Mongolian cavalier!”

*****

Quite a number of sects left behind a group of people at the back of the main camp to be in charge of checking the points on the ranking board.

However, ever since morning came and the army set out, a fluctuation of points soon appeared on War Achievement Points Rank, and the changes were very frequent. The elites who were in charge of observing the points felt their hearts tremble in shock, and they could hardly contain their astonishment.

Aside from a few people whose points increased rather slowly, the other people on the entire War Achievement Points Rank seemed to be seizing war achievements at a maddening pace, especially for the group of top-class elites who were close to the top. The speed in which they accumulated their war achievements could be described at lightning speed. In fact, the top ten players looked as if they were competing in a 100-meter dash.

In less than half an hour, even the person with the least amount of points had increased nearly two thousand points.

With yesterday’s expression, the top-class sects came up with more effective strategies. They attacked at full strength, and Class One Hall’s Barren Murderer pushed his points rapidly to eight thousand from his initial four thousand, and now, he was nearly in the nine thousand.

Silver Wolf and Lu Mingyue were slightly slower in accumulating points, but their progress was just as staggering. They had already reached eight thousand, and the speed in which they increased their points was gradually increasing.

Dream Clouds, Blood Robes, Phoenix Dances, Rampaging Dragon, Momo, Thunderous Battle, Little North, Red Dust, and Phantasmal Shadow swiftly reached the six thousand mark and soon touched the border of seven thousand points.

Meanwhile, Langye and Violent Wind and Bloody Rain, who had already been rewarded publicly by the system, had their points exchanged with cavaliers, and they could be considered to have only appeared briefly in public eye for an instant before they fell out of the ranking board once more.

Those who were ranked at the back and did not have their sects fully backing them naturally cannot compete with the people ranked at the top. However, their strategies were not to be underestimated either. Based on how quickly they obtained their points, they will definitely be able to get the title of a medium-rank captain within three to five days.

As for the person ranked at the top...

Everyone knew who it would be, and there was absolutely no suspense in who that person would be.

Class One Hall had originally wanted to overtake Happy once day arrived, but when they saw the five figured points on the ranking board and the points that rose at a continuous as well as crazed speed, they could not help but feel a great sense of helplessness.

Happy only had a little more than seven thousand points in the morning, and he was not too far ahead of Barren Murderer. At that time, he was only around three thousand points ahead of him.

But now, he already had more than eighteen thousand points in hand, and based on the rate in which he increased his points, he was about to break the twenty thousand point mark. He had managed to widen the gap between them by five figures, and there was no way they will not be able to feel helpless about it.

*****

The Mu Clan members in charge of staying back to observe the data were the Three Lonely Wolves, and they had volunteered themselves to do so.

Ever since the trio turned South China Martial Arts Ranking Board into a ranking board that encompassed all universities in the south, their fame shot up by leaps and bounds, and many brands contacted them to work together with them. Right now, they could already be considered to be young billionaires in the university. It was very difficult for them to find time to train in a day, but they did not want to be too out of touch with the others, which was why they decided to take turns in observing the points.

[What’s the situation now?]

When he received Glutinous Rice’s messenger pigeon, Bai Lang, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the ranking board, and he quickly wrote down a few lines of data from the ranking board.

The people dozens of miles away received the information in time.

Silver Wolf had already completed killing his first group of Mongolian cavaliers, and this news soon entered his ears.

“Excellent!” He stopped for a moment, and a hint of gentleness appeared under Silver Wolf’s resolute and cold silver mask. “A medium-rank captain only needs seventeen thousand points. Happy has already completed his quest beforehand. We’ll need to work harder and get rid of this group of Mongolian cavaliers. Phoenix Dances and I should be able to reach the requirements.”

There were about two thousand Mongolian cavaliers in one battalion, and that was a total of twenty thousand points.

“That’s right! As long as Langye as well as Violent Wind and Bloody Rain has yet to gather the full number of cavaliers, the first to trigger the large-scale quest will still be us!”

Phoenix Dances was also extremely confident.
