Chapter 739: Devour, Emergency Measure

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The strong firepower and great equipment turned Mu Clan’s branch into a steel fortress. The people who charged at its walls were continuously shot down and beaten back.

Blood Robes watched from above, and he could tell that the casualties on the other three sides were rather high. In less than half a minute, at least two hundred people had been thrown off the wall. There were nearly one thousand people who were injured to various degrees.

The frown on Blood Robes’ face gradually grew deeper.

While Class One Hall had an equal number of injured, few people died on their side.

After all, those who rushed up the wall were all rather good players with shields. Once they deceived Mu Clan in firing at them, they turned back and left.

Hence, even though they suffered the same amount of firepower, they managed to maximize the number of people they managed to keep alive. Those people returned to the back and spread Jinchuang Ointment over their wounds, meditated for a while, and recovered!

“That woman doesn’t have any abilities in commanding her forces. If they continue dying like this, Towering Palace will be crippled.” Blood Robes frowned, turned around, and whispered an order to a person beside him. “Send a reminder to Towering Palace.”

Even though Towering Palace was Class One Hall’s competitor, their greatest enemy right then was Mu Clan. Blood Robes was more concerned about whether they had the strength to completely destroy Mu Clan’s branch even when they worked together.

Towering Palace was suffering too many casualties, but Clear Music had not noticed it.

Soon, a messenger brought Blood Robes’ message to Towering Palace’s camp!

In a few moments, they released a few orders one after another, and their offense paused for a moment. Then, a small change happened.

Clear Music fell silent after she gave the orders and noticed that her soldiers’ morale had risen a little. Their sacrifices also decreased. Immediately, she cast a glance at Class One Hall’s camp with an incredibly complicated gaze.

“This is bad, palace master!”

The clanging sounds signalling weapons cutting into people suddenly rose from across them. The noise rose and fell, but came in a continuous stream. The archers of Mu Clan seemed to have been stimulated, for their arrows suddenly came at Class One Hall and Towering Palace at a much fiercer pace than before.

The people who rushed to the wall froze for a moment when they heard zither sounds.

Thud! Thud!

The sounds of bodies being pierced could be heard from a distance.

Right before everyone’s eyes, arrows pierced the members of Towering Palace and Class One Hall. When they froze for a moment, their bodies were struck with numerous arrows!

Thud!

The people shot down from the high walls crashed into those behind them so fiercely that their offense stopped for a moment.

In just a short moment, a large group of people with great equipment was killed. In that round of attacks, the casualties surpassed the total of all the casualties the two sects had suffered previously!

Blood Robes could not help but suck in a sharp breath.

‘What a well-planned trap.’

Mu Clan had waited for Towering Palace and Class One Hall to send their best elites to attract the archer’s firepower. Once they did so, Wind Chimes suddenly executed Sky Demon Demonic Sound and easily devoured many of the elites.

The commander of Mu Clan’s branch was not any normal person!

‘Silver Wolf, what a man you are…’

A strong refusal to admit defeat rose in Blood Robes’ heart, and he ordered with a growl, “We can’t delay! Immediately tear down Mu Clan’s outer walls!”

The Class One Hall members nearby looked over in shock.

The outer walls of the branch were not normal houses. They were made using unique materials and developed painstakingly. Even Inaction Realm elites could not damage them unless they used their full power.

Besides, once a gap was created, the vanguards who tore down the walls were the first to enter enemy sights. It was a suicide mission.

On top of that, it had not been long since they attacked Mu Clan, so Mu Clan’s strength was still at its best. If they took action then, the level of danger would be very high.

“But the hall master ordered—”

“I know what she ordered,” Blood Robes interrupted brusquely. “There’s someone very good at giving out commands in Mu Clan’s branch. If we don’t change our strategy right now, our losses will be even greater. By then, when we want to use this method, we might not have the chance or strength to do it anymore.”

Blood Robes had always been wary of Mu Clan’s strength.

This time, even though Towering Palace mobilized all their men, Class One Hall had only sent one elite, and that was him. Dream Clouds remained at their headquarters in the north to receive Barren Murderer and kept a close watch over Mu Clan’s reaction.

However, there were plenty of Mu Clan’s best elites gathered in the branch!

Towering Palace and Class One Hall only had a fifty percent chance of destroying them. Even if Towering Palace brought in Dragon Sect elites, their success rate would only be slightly over seventy percent.

If they continued to have Mu Clan deplete their elite forces and stall for time, once Mu Clan launched more counterattacks, the chances of success for Class One Hall and Towering Palace would just keep getting lower.

They could not place all their hopes on a group of foreign elites whose strength they were not certain of and whom they could not completely trust!

“Contact Clear Music immediately! Tell her that if she doesn’t want this operation to fail, she should bring out her full strength and rush into the branch to scatter Mu Clan’s forces! Class One Hall will bring out our sacrificial pawns and forcibly break Mu Clan’s outer wall!” Blood Robes said firmly.

“Understood!”

The person who answered to the order jumped up from the crowd and headed to Towering Palace.

*****

Silver Wolf and a group of people stood at the highest building in the branch looking over the situation. They stared at the charge from the elites of the top-class sects without letting down their guard. They also watched the changes in formation within the two groups.

“Big Brother Silver Wolf, thank goodness you summoned our friends back in time and set up a formation, or else, it’d have been very difficult for us to block Class One Hall and Towering Palace’s offense. Heh heh, this time, it’s Blood Robes and Clear Music’s turn to have a headache.”

“Big Brother Silver Wolf, whose letter did you receive?”

“Happy’s.”

Silver Wolf stood at the tower and watched how the two top sects had become much more dejected after they lost a group of elites. A hint of gentleness appeared on his callous face, and he looked at Wind Chimes, who placed her hands on her zither but did not play it.

“Wind Chimes, I’m afraid they won’t stop attacking so easily. Later on, we’ll have to trouble you.”

“Big Brother Silver Wolf, you can just order me as you please.” Wind Chimes took two Dew Pills with a faint smile on her lips.

Even though it was a little difficult to circulate the amount of true qi required to affect so many people, she could do it for a short time.

“Haha! With Big Brother Silver Wolf and Wind Chimes working together, it’ll be weird if Towering Palace and Class One Hall can rush inside. You might not even need us to attack,” Little North said.

Silver Wolf shook his head. “It’s still too early for us to be happy.”

Those people had been listed as Happy’s top enemy for a long period of time, and they had come from far away. Silver Wolf did not believe that Class One Hall would be defeated by such a simple strategy.

Right when they finished speaking, a strange sight suddenly appeared in Class One Hall’s camp!

More than a hundred people with great physical strength rushed to the foot of the wall, but they just stood there and did not choose to jump over.

The group hid quietly behind the wall.

Silver Wolf said nothing, but he instantly became alert. He took a step forward with a frown on his face and took out a bow that was as tall as a person from his Universe Bag. He stared at the shadows behind the wall and slowly brought out a special arrow shining with a metallic light.

He nocked it and drew the bow fully.

An astonishing presence that could mow down all resistances rose from Silver Wolf’s body.
