Chapter 828: The Martial Artists’ Discipline

Hidden weapons and arrows danced about like a swarm of locusts. They came with a great momentum and covered the entire sky.

To the Mongolian cavaliers, this was a datal dance of death. They swung their weapons madly and tried to parry the arrows and hidden weapons that came flying everywhere at them.

Fortunately, at that moment, they rarely had to face Life and Death Realm bow techniques, and they had to face even fewer hidden weapons. Those were even more valuable than national treasures, and each manual in the market cost more than ten million. Most of the people in the crowd used Mystical Realm of Blessed Realm hidden weapons techniques. To the Mongolian cavaliers, the most dangerous thing to them was the number of weapons they had to face, not the weapons themselves.

Hence, even though they were drenched in blood and were reduced to incredibly pathetic states, in truth, most of attacks were intercepted before they could touch fatal spots, and they completely ignored the attacks that struck the areas protected by the metal scale armor.

Even so, they were still in a perilous situation. There was a continuous stream of cavaliers who were stuck full of arrows and fell to the ground while covered in blood.

The group of Mongolian cavaliers gradually became smaller.

Happy originally thought that he will not be able to get a lot of points when he competed with thousands of other players, but after a few times, his Joined Finger continued getting points for him. Aside from a few people who died before his finger-generated wind could get to their faces, most of his attacks were successful in taking away one Mongolian cavalier each.

After a few minutes, he was able to quietly earn hundreds of points, and the process was so relaxing that it did not lose to the time when he chased after Mongolian cavaliers.

“Lucky.”

Slowly, Happy understood the effect of the attacks that might seem astonishing but actually contained no attack and that it was actually very difficult for it to deal a fatal blow. He immediately attacked at full strength and struck with both hands by repeatedly executing Joined Finger.

Under the sound waves of the attacks that filled the air, Joined Finger traveled forward soundlessly, and it was difficult to fend against it!

And as he attacked, Happy started focusing his attacks on the 10-man commanders and 100-man commanders who were slightly stronger than the rest.

With Joined Finger’s damage, he could kill those Mongolian officers at one blow, and soon, he gained two thousand points.

“Damn it!”

“I’ve been shooting arrows for so long, but I didn’t even get a single point. Isn’t that too strange?”

“My Funeral Needle is at Mystical Realm, and I’ve even pushed it to Grandmaster Realm, but I didn’t manage to get any kills either. The damage in your Chain Arrow Shower is too low. It’ll be weird if you managed to get any kills.”

There were people who were delighted in the crowd, and there were also some who were frustrated.

But when thousands of people surrounded one thousand Mongolian cavaliers to fight against them, most of these thousands of people who unable to get any points.

In fact, some of the people at the periphery tried to push forward, and they fought against those they shoved and offended once they ended up getting into an argument. The situation was incredibly intense.

However, no one in the crowd noticed Happy, who did not have any arrows or hidden weapons in hand, but had already gotten himself more than three thousand points as he concentrated on his attacks.

‘Before I ran into this large army, my points have already reached seven thousand two hundred points. The quest to protect the general got me another one thousand points. On the way here, I also obtained around one thousand points. Now, I have three thousand. When I add them together, I’ll get around thirteen thousand points. I can get a middle-rank captain’s title now! But if I want to get a full medium sized cavalier unit, I’ll still need around five thousand points.’

While Happy continued earning points with a steady hand, with burning eyes, he searched for signs of the 10,000-man commander and 1,000-man commanders among the Mongolian cavaliers.

Right now, there were not many 100-man commanders left. But the 1,000-man commanders and the man with the alloy staff were protected the most carefully. They were now gathered together, just like the Chinese general who had been encircled just now.

There were a total of five 1,000-man commanders and one 10,000-man commander. That was a total of three thousand five hundred points, which was equivalent to one-third of the remaining four hundred or so Mongolian cavaliers. If he can kill all six of them and returned to hand in his scouting quest, he should be able to get himself a medium-sized unit of cavaliers.

“Charge!”

“Kill them!”

Iron hooves thundered!

The ground trembled fiercely once more.

The group of Mongolian cavaliers who were intercepted by the Chinese cavaliers finally broke out of the encirclement at the back and launched a charge once more. With a lightning fast speed that formed a momentum with the force of an avalanche, they swept toward the Chinese army with a force that can barrel through everything.

The Mongolians had fierce gazes, and they dashed forth like the wind. Their hatchets cut through the air, and their arrows were like swarms of locusts. They were similar to a group of tigers who had just ran out of their cages, and they tore up a huge gap at the back of the Chinese martial artists who had never been united in the first place. Then, they charged forward without any obstacles standing in their way!

When they saw that the Chinese martial artists who surrounded the 10,000-man commander was increasing by the moment, the Mongolian cavaliers’ attacks grew more rapid and fiercer. But the subordinates around the 10,000-man commander continued dwindling rapidly. Still, the hundreds of cavaliers who came from the back released an astonishing fighting power and sent the back of the group scattering with the force of a tornado.

“Cavaliers charging forward!”

“Damn it!”

“Run!”

These martial artists might have been terrifically fierce just now, but when they heard the sounds of the cavaliers charging forward from the back, they ran faster than rabbits.

Happy was dumbfounded.

‘We have tens of thousands of players here, and you’re all so scared by just hundreds of Mongolian cavaliers that you just turned around and fled?

‘Isn’t this too much of an exaggeration?

‘The plots on TV aren’t written this way, you know?

‘The martial artists are supposed to be people who can fight against multiple enemies alone, be it one against ten, one against one hundred, or one against one thousand!

‘You guys… None of you have the disciple of martial artists. Ah… you’re so embarrassing. Seriously.’

Happy criticized them without knowing whether he should laugh or cry while he joined in the crowd who fled.

The battlefield was chaotic, and the people moved around rapidly. If anyone was careless, they might end up knocking into other people, and the situation will turn incredibly chaotic.

Since a large number of martial artists decided to “work together” in fleeing, they did not manage to block the Mongolian cavaliers’ charge, and soon, these cavaliers managed to unite with the 10,000-man commander who had the alloy staff.

Boom!

The man with the alloy staff lifted his weapon up high and gnashed his teeth.

“Slaughter our way out!”

The 10,000-man commander had been boiling in rage for a long time. He clamped his legs around his horse’s stomach, and hundreds of his subordinates let out sky-shaking roars. Then, as the two flanks moved, they launched a charge out of the encirclement.

Galloping sounds became even more frequent, and the situation changed!

Countless martial artists began retreating, and the Mongolian cavaliers became the masters of the battlefield once more!

The hidden weapons and arrows that flew in the air instantly dwindled in number until they were rarely seen, and when the remaining number of weapons faced that Mongolian cavalier that numbered more than one thousand men, they were completely harmless!

The Mongolian cavaliers chased after the Chinese martial artists with their horses releasing thunderous sounds in their wake. They were like arrows that traveled forward in waves, and their momentum cannot be stopped.

The Chinese martial artists had their spirits crushed, and they retreated. Not only was their fighting spirit completely destroyed, their morale also diminished. They also ended up creating chaos to the formation nearly ten thousand Chinese soldiers set up in order to fight against their enemies.

“Fire arrows!”

The man with the alloy staff at the back saw that he could not lose this chance, and he quickly gave his orders.

More than one thousand longbows were brought forward, and as the sounds of bow strings being pulled rose in a manner that caused souls to tremble, the Chinese martial artists felt the light above their heads dim. They turned their heads around, and they saw a dense wave of arrows crashing down at them in a manner that blotted out the sky.

The martial artists fared better, since they had body fortifications with them. Aside from some of the unlucky ones and those whose mental fortitudes were not good being killed, the others who were killed were basically all Chinese soldiers.

The sounds of flesh being pierced through rose and fell, and screams could be heard nonstop.

They fell in waves like harvested wheat.

When the Mongolian cavaliers who chased after them saw that their attacks were effective, they became even more excited, and they drew their bows again to chase after the Chinese.

But they did not notice that while the crowd fled, someone calmly slowed down and lingered at the back of the group.
