Rumble!
Rumble!
Deafening horse hooves thundering against the ground even caused the clouds in the sky to be torn.
More than twenty thousand Chinese cavaliers rode on their horses in frenzy on the plains, and they clashed against twenty thousand Mongolian cavaliers who came charging at them with wind and dust in their wake.
Almost at the moment they clashed weapons, a dent was created among the vanguards of the Mongolian cavaliers. The Chinese cavaliers bulldozed their way into the enemy fray and began killing the Mongolian cavaliers in a single sided slaughter.
This sort of situation was completely unimaginable ten days away on the plains.
The quality and combat strength within the Mongolian cavaliers was much greater than the Chinese cavaliers, and when they met in a direct assault, their ratio in which the Chinese cavaliers died compared to them was always 2:1 or 3:1. This sort of situation where the cavaliers suffered a huge blow in their formation right when they engaged in battle had always only been reflected on the Chinese cavaliers.
But the scene happening right now completely overturned the current situation in the war.
Because there was a large group of heavy-armored cavaliers right in front of the Chinese cavaliers, and there was also a group of extraordinarily skilled Mu Clan elites mixed among the cavaliers.
Once they handed over the weapons that provided the greatest firepower to the heavy-armored cavaliers, the fiercest charges exploded forth, and their ability to kill was completely brought forward. Even the Mongolian cavaliers had a hard time withstanding this violence from the heavy-armored cavaliers and the Mu Clan elites.
“Haha! You can withstand the encirclement by one major and two evil cult elders? Not bad, Little North! Has your Yellowish-blue Brocade Blue reached the fourth echelon?”
Right when Silver Wolf’s boisterous laughter rose to the air, Little North cried out like a woman who was spied on while she was bathing by a pervert. “Don’t come over! Boss Silver Wolf, please don’t come over! Show some mercy! You’ve already obtained four Excellent Refinement Chances, and I need thirty thousand more points to get my third Excellent Refinement Chance, please don’t come over!”
“What the heck? There’re only three majors in this quest and ten evil cult elites. Thunderous Battle only killed one major, and you got your third… You’ve gone overboard…”
“That’s right! Little North, you’re so unfair!”
Before the voices even faded away, Rampaging Dragon, Knife, Momo, and Phoenix Dances charged over like phantoms from the crowd at the back!
They squeezed into Little North’s battlefield and male and female bandits.
“Why waste your breath so much?! Whoever kills them gets those points!”
“Stupid Little North, you’re the one who keeps stealing my points all the time! There’s no need to be polite with him!”
While they stole his points, they caused a ruckus like rascals.
In just the blink of an eye, the group of bastards killed the major and evil cult elites Little North found after a hard time. He could only cry fake tears while the group blocked him from the battlefield. In the end, they took away everything without even leaving behind a single piece of gold for him.
“You’re… so shameless!”
Once that group left like birds fleeing, they left behind Little North to be dumbfounded for a long time while he was filled with sorrow.
Silver Wolf rode on a huge horse and shrugged, giving off an expression that said that he could not help Little North even if he wanted to.
Right now, Class One Hall refused to enter the plains, and this place had practically turned into Mu Clan’s backyard. It was incredibly easy for them to get the best places for points.
Their only competitors now were their own members.
However, Happy made a rule: While they can fight for points, the branch masters and vice branch masters must first kill the majors, 10,000-man commanders, evil cult elders, or any other elites at their level. Once they got rid of all the threats on the battlefield, only then were they able to turn around and fight for those normal Mongolian cavaliers from their friends.
When they received the points, they can exchange them for items they wanted.
Happy’s decision was naturally made in consideration for everyone, so no one objected to it.
But it was truly executed, some problems still occurred.
Because everyone noticed that the high-end evil cult elites and majors will not only provide so many points that they will give points equivalent to killing tens or even hundreds of normal Mongolian cavaliers, there was even a certain chance for them to drop demon vessels, weapons, and martial art manuals. These generals and evil cult elites then instantly became popular targets.
Even Happy could not escape from this temptation. He threw himself into battle, and during this period of time, he obtained four demon vessel armor that were of rather good quality.
In this game, the drop rate for demon vessel armor was rather low, and their defense as well as attributes were always much higher than grade one armor.
As of current, fourth-echelon grade one equipment were not rare items to Mu Clan elites, and only armor at the level of demon vessels can make their blood burn with excitement.
But Mu Clan currently did not have that much money to refine all these items to the fourth echelon.
Even though they had enough Phantasmal Crystals and had no problem in terms of the materials needed to refine them to the fourth echelon, the success rate for the process for demon vessels was much lower than grade one masterpieces, and the risks were also much higher. Each time they refined demon vessels, they must be incredibly careful, because the slightest mistake will cause them to lose a treasure that was worth more than ten million taels of silver.
Practically every single one of the group of aces in Mu Clan had one or two demon vessels in their hands. Aces at the level of Silver Wolf and Little North had more than three pieces, which was more than the rest.
But if they wanted to refine all of them to the fourth echelon, even they will face pressure.
After all, while they had some Fire Qilin Scales with them, they cannot provide them to the clan members en masse, and this was a face that Happy cannot ignore.
Hence, after Silver Wolf, Thunderous Battle, and Happy discussed this, they decided that their members will first prioritize getting points to get at least one Excellent Refinement Chance that will guarantee a one hundred percent success rate in refinement from the officer in charge of exchanging points for rewards.
One chance required one hundred thousand points.
Heartless Iron was in charge of pushing their demon vessels to the third echelon, and when it came to the fourth echelon, which carried the highest risk, they will hand over the refinement of their demon vessels to the army.
As for those without enough points, they can use their points to exchange for items that Mu Clan needed and put them into the storage for contribution points instead. Then, with the contribution points provided by the clan, they can get Fire Qilin Scales.
Silver Wolf was rather lucky over this period of time. He did not run into any of the monsters from the evil cult, and every day, he can get quite a lot of points for himself.
The points he accumulated had already surpassed four hundred thousand, and he had four pieces of fourth echelon demon vessel armor now, allowing him to give off an imposing presence. Right now, even if he fought against people at the level of the Priest, he will not die right when they exchanged blows. Now, he already had the basic requirement for a fight against those monsters down—the ability to protect himself.
“Silver Wolf.” When he heard the familiar voice calling out to him, Silver Wolf turned his head around and looked.
Happy had appeared at some point of time behind him, and he stared at him with a faint smile on his face. “Did you get enough points?”
But without waiting for Silver Wolf to speak, Happy had his gaze wander about Silver Wolf’s body, and he smiled even further. Your armor, shin guards, boots, and gauntlets are all at the fourth echelon. Now, even Life and Death Realm martial artists will have a hard time breaking through your defense. You’re only lacking a helmet right now. Not bad. If you have the last piece, perhaps you will be able to fight against a normal Myth Realm martial artist.”
“I’m not in a hurry about that. I’m actually thinking that since one month has passed since that accident, Wind Chimes should have already reached Mystical Realm. I’m planning to give her a zither as a gift.”
Happy had his smile fade away slightly. “In the end, she still chose to continue practicing the skills from Six-fingered Demonic Zither?”
“Yes, she said that she’s used to it, and she doesn’t want to practice other ultimate techniques.” Silver Wolf’s answer caused Happy to sigh.
“Wind Chimes is not in a hurry for her zither for the time being. In fact, with her current qi realm, it’s not suitable for her to join the next battle. When she truly needs it, it won’t be too late for us to get her a zither.” Happy stopped talking for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone changed, and he spoke gravely. “Silver Wolf, focus on getting your last demon vessel to the fourth echelon. Once this event ends, it’ll be time to end the grudge between us and Class One Hall.”
