Chapter 890: Final Madness on the Plains!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
More than twenty days ago, if night fell on the plains, an entire circular area of three hundred miles of the plains will be swathed in silence. In the silence, both camps will be like two large beasts that caused everyone to feel a great sense of pressure. They will always feel that there was danger lurking all over the plains, and there was trouble brewing right underneath their feet.
More than twenty days later, which was today, the players were already used to the presence of reconnoiterers on the plains, and they were also used to the dangers and fortuitous events they might encounter in every inch of the land. Once night fell, even though it will be much more quiet, there will still be cavaliers and player groups riding about the plains.
Thud thud thud thud!
Regardless of whether it was one single rider or an entire squad of cavaliers, they were already a unique scene on the plains.
This was especially so when the Emperor’s Announcement event was about to come to an end. Many people seized every second they had and went in and out of the camp to take or hand in quests, no matter whether it was night or day.
*****
Rumble! Rumble!
A large group of cavaliers charged through the players’ region, which was to the left of the logistics camp. The region to the left of the camp was a region for the players who were not part of the four sects to reorganize and rest. Anyone can station themselves there.
As for the right, those entire three miles of that stretch of land to the right of the logistics camp belonged to the four sects.
It was also used to store the one hundred thousand cavaliers.
That large group of cavaliers charged through the area like the wind with rolling dust behind them, but no one was displeased with this.
Points signified everything on the plains.
The more cavaliers a person had, the more it will show just how great he or she had been on the battlefield. A person will need more than one hundred thousand points to get one large battalion of cavaliers. To most players, this will already be a very good achievement.
“Fifth Maniac!”
“It’s Fifth Maniac!”
“Look!”
Hundreds of cavaliers tugged at their reins in an orderly fashion near a bonfire. The youngster leading them was in high spirits. He jumped down from his horse. The cavaliers behind him remained still like unmoving mountains, and they were very cool.
The people surrounding the bonfire stood up, went up to the person and asked questions while they looked around him. “Not bad, Maniac, you actually managed to get yourself a large cavalier unit. Tell us, where did you borrow them from?”
“…Look at what you’re saying.” The young man known as Maniac cast that person who spoke a glance while there was a smug look on his own face. “What do you mean, borrow? I got them all with points I obtained one step at a time! What do you think?!”
“Not bad, that’s one hundred thousand points…”
“Are you really a senior-rank captain now?”
“Whew, and there are a lot of the sect masters who can’t bear to exchange those points for these cavaliers! Awesome!”
Some of the people in the crowd admired what he had, but some were jealous as well.
“What a spendthrift person. With that many points, it would have been enough for you to get one refinement chance.”
“That’s right, it’s the final two days. At that time, we don’t know where these cavaliers will go either. The system will definitely take all of them back.”
“Why are you bothering with the details so much? As long as I think it’s worth it, it’s enough!” Fifth Maniac clearly did not care about that. He cleared open a path and walked to a girl with a slight hint of shyness as well as delight on her face. “Come, Heavenly Fragrance, you said that you wanted to take photos with a large cavalier unit before the event ended, I’ll take you there!”
Some of the people were rendered speechless.
“That brat, you wasted so many points to pick up a girl? Aren’t you a ruthless one?!”
Just when Lady Heavenly Fragrance got on the horse with Fifth Maniac while also seemingly a little reserved about it, flames raged, the ground trembled a little, and the tremors grew faster and faster.
“Something’s happening! Get on the horses!”
“It’s the final two days, and they still refuse to stay down. What do they want? Does the Mongolian camp still want to attack our camp?”
While they might be surprised, the group of people acted in a very orderly fashion. They summoned their own steeds and cautiously stared into the distance.
Within just a short few minutes, the faint tremors on the ground turned into thunderous gallops that seemed to be coming at them with the force of an avalanche. The ground trembled, and the tremors went to the camp like a tidal wave.
A few hundred players in the region to the left snapped out of their daze and put on expectant looks.
Such a huge stir can only be created by large scale cavalier battalions when they launched a charge. The players in the camp had already experienced a very painful lesson last time. Hence, when they heard this sound this time, many people immediately drew a wide distance from the camp and the logistics camp.
But it was very strange, this huge stir did not affect the camp at all.
The few hundred thousand people in the Chinese army did not move whatsoever.
When they noticed this sight, many players realized what was going on.
“They aren’t Mongolians. They’re our own men.”
“Damn it, and here I was, expecting something, but all in vain.”
Maniac had actually been very nervous. He held Lady Heavenly Fragrance’s hand, and his hand was practically sweating. While he exhaled, he also patted his own chest.
‘I thought that the large cavalier unit I just gathered was about to be destroyed. Thank goodness it’s just the people from Mu Clan.’
The deafening sounds headed to another direction of the camp. Under the night sky, the players can vaguely see a black mass of cavaliers surging to the western camp and filling it up.
Even though they were disappointed, such a majestic and astonishing cavalier battalion was still enough to make the players stay where they were and watch for a long time.
It was an army of one hundred thousand cavaliers, and they were all controlled by players!
On the vast plains, the people who controlled this large battalion could move to wherever they wanted, and that included attacking the Mongolian army. Even when they did attack the Mongolian army, they can also create an effect that no one can ignore.
“Strange, why are the cavaliers from the four sects all gathered together?”
“That’s right…”
“Usually, the four sects will do their own quests and not mingle with each other. Why are they causing such a huge stir this time? Is there a major operation?”
When they noticed the group charge from the four sects, which had come at them with a huge momentum, and their subsequent return to the camp, quite a number of people stood far in the distance to watch while they discussed this.
Someone analyzed the situation. “Can’t say. In two more days, the Emperor’s Announcement event will come to a complete end. Perhaps the four sects are prepared for a final major play.”
Fifth Maniac nodded with a solemn expression. “There aren’t many remaining forces in the Mongolian camp. The one hundred thousand cavaliers do indeed have the strength to charge at their camp!”
“That’s right!”
Lady Heavenly Fragrance and the people around them nodded.
“But there are quite a number of Myth Realm martial artists over there, and there’s a possibility that they’ve also come into contact with the Myth Realm martial artists on our side. There are also a lot of aces among the four sects, so they might not actually lose if they charge at the marshal’s camp.”
“Whew…”
“There’s no way it can be that outrageous, right?”
“Outrageous?”
“Didn’t you see Hu Bilie’s points? That’s one hundred thousand points on his head alone!”
“Besides, aside from the marshal’s camp, what other quest on the plains will require one hundred thousand cavaliers together?”
“Tsk tsk…”
The group of people instantly fell silent.
They worked their endless imagination, and the large number of players at the periphery of the camp had already decided that the four sect’s operation this time was definitely going to be the final strike against the Mongolian army!
This was going to be their most ambitious operation…
Everyone cast their gazes on the Mongolian army.
“Let’s go!”
“Brothers and sisters, there’s no reason for us to not get involved in such a lively event!”
“That’s right! It’s the final two days, we can’t let the four sects take away all the benefits in the event!”
“Look! The people from the four sects have already entered…”
Some of the observant people noticed that the members from the four sects all headed to the cavalier camp, and this caused a commotion that refused to die down.
“Mobilize your forces!”
“Hurry up! Why are you still standing around foolishly! Have our members log in, pronto! Hurry up!”
The solo players and sect masters started shouting.
Once the one hundred thousand cavaliers from the four sects caused such a ruckus with their great momentum, the quiet night on the plains was completely destroyed.
