Sword Among Us

Chapter 773: Ally

The destroyed branch was rebuilt in Yangzhou, and soon, Wind Assault Tower’s branch was also built in Yangzhou!

As the Towering Palace members left, the resource points nearby were naturally taken by the Mu Clan members and Wind Assault Tower members who were shifted to the branch from the areas nearby.

Towering Palace and Class One Hall fell completely silent.

They could only watch as Mu Clan worked together with Wind Assault Tower to occupy the eastern cities of the coastal area and divided Towering Palace’s territory from the middle.

Because of it, not only was Class One Hall unable to mobilize forces to provide reinforcements, the various sects, Mu Clan, and Chivalry Sect, who were all in the southern cities in the coastal area could become part of the cities to the south of Yangzhou.

Towering Palace had their progress hindered by Happy and Phantasmal Shadow as they served as garrisons in Yangzhou. Towering Palace could not provide reinforcements, and they could only watch as most of the cities in the coastal area swiftly landed in other people’s hands.

They lost their territory, rumors traveled nonstop among the people, and they lost their elites. Their allies could do nothing to help them as well. Their enemies also had an overwhelming advantage they could not hope to win over, causing Towering Palace to instantly fall several levels from the prodigious status of a top-class sect. They fell straight to the ranks of a normal, large-sized sect, and they completely lost the right to stand on equal grounds with Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect.

Within less than three days, a chain reaction that was like the domino effect happened in the structure of the Chinese server.

Under Mu Clan’s tacit agreement, some of the sects worked together with Mu Clan and took the initiative to mobilize their forces and attack Towering Palace’s branches as well as occupy the resource points in the nearby cities.

Mu Clan did not even do much, but they still managed to easily obtained half of Towering Palace’s resource points, and they also obtained half of the control as well as absolute authority in the eastern side of the coastal area.

Wind Assault Tower also developed very quickly!

They originally had fewer than five branches, but very soon, they set up eight branches in the eastern side of the coastal area, and their strength increased by one fold. Now, they could legitimately fight against the current Towering Palace.

Class One Hall had once announced in a very flashy manner that they killed Nine-tailed Fox, but Mu Clan’s series of victories and Towering Palace’s retreat caused them to quickly exercise restraint. It was as if they never showed their previous stance in the matter at all.

But many people still remembered Barren Murderer’s arrogant words at Mu Clan’s branch when he returned.

And many people began guessing that once Mu Clan was done with Towering Palace, their next target will be Class One Hall.

Mu Clan and Happy will not overlook Class One Hall anymore!

*****

The situation in Class One Hall’s headquarters in Beijing was different compared to Towering Palace’s dreariness and nearly dying state. At that moment, the main hall of Class One Hall’s headquarters was not filled with a troubled and worried air, which the outer world assumed them to be in.

Dream Clouds, Barren Murderer, Blood Robes, Monk with Thick Eyebrows, Evil Wolf, and other elites were laughing and talking in the main hall while they hosted a group of people.

Sitting in the seats were Dragon Sect’s vice sect master, Dragon Sect’s young master, and thirty-six Dragon Sect elites.

There was also a young man who was less than thirty among them.

He was Drifting Sword, the mysterious masked man in black who had risen to fame during the battle at Yangzhou Port as well as White Robe Sect’s sect master.

“It’s all thanks to your hall that we were able to break out of the encirclement formed by Mu Clan, Vice Hall Master Blood, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to bring these brats out of that troublesome place. This toast is for you.”

Blood Robes waved his hand and smiled before he said, “Thanks. I’ve also received orders from my hall master to do so. Besides, with my compromised strength, I wouldn’t have been able to bring all of you out of Yangzhou. It’s all thanks to my hall master’s great foresight that she asked me to move with all of you, which is how we managed to escape being read by Universe Secrets Inkstone. If you want to thank someone, it’d be best if you thank my hall master.”

“Oh? Then, I, Teacher, will have to use your wine to give you a toast, Hall Master Dream. I give a toast to the greatest heroine in the Chinese server!” Teacher turned to Dream Clouds.

“You praise me too much.” But Dream Clouds drank readily. She lifted the cup and downed everything in one go.

“This time, it’s already certain that Towering Palace will fall into decline. What are your plans, Teacher and my friends from Dragon Sect?” Dream Clouds asked with a smile once she put down her wine cup.

Teacher turned his head around and cast a glance at his young master.

The young master had not said anything since the start.

There was a hint of graveness on his face since the start. While he sat among the Dragon Sect members, he just continued drinking.

Dragon Sect’s young master did feel some shred of regret to the Music sisters.

After all, the attack on Mu Clan’s branch was his decision, and his thoughts just happened to coincide with Class One Hall’s, but he had once promised Musical Note that he will definitely kill Happy. Yet in the end, when Happy appeared, he killed quite a few of their people, and they could not do anything about it.

Right now, Towering Palace was in such a miserable state...

Even though they managed to break out of the encirclement and were safe, he could not become happy, causing him to not be in the mood to listen to whatever Dream Clouds said.

He said, and Teacher shook his head before he said to Dream Clouds, “We haven’t received detailed news just yet, and we want to observe for a few more days. But we’re regretful for Towering Palace’s fall this time as well. In the future, Mu Clan might want to declare themselves king in the Chinese server, and we’ve helped Towering Palace in killing quite a number of their elites. Next time, it’ll be very hard for us to find our footing here.”

“That’s true. Happy is someone who will definitely take revenge for any slight against him. Last time, it was Three Dragons Guild. Then, it was Towering Palace. Right now, his only thorn in the flesh might be the Class One Hall I built.”

Teacher said nothing about that.

No matter what, Class One Hall was a professional gaming guild, and their foundation in strength in the game was much greater than Chivalry Sect and Towering Palace! Their management over their organization was strict, and they had plenty of elites! They were the only organization whose strength in their middle management could fight against Mu Clan.

“I heard that your elites came over to the Chinese server this time because you want to research what our occupation-based players have done. At the same time, you’re also looking for martial art manuals, is that true?”

“Yes.”

“I wonder if my hall can work together with your sect.”

“Oh?” Teacher’s act of lifting his cup into the air paused for a moment, and he stared at Dream Clouds in shock. “Hall Master Dream, you’re willing to sponsor our activities in the Chinese server?”

“I can’t say that we’re sponsoring. After all, we’re also tight on funds right now. We have a few hundred thousand people we need to look after, and we don’t have enough equipment to provide for them. If you’re willing, we can work together.”

“When you say work together, do you mean...?” Teacher stared at Dream Clouds hesitantly.

Dream Clouds watched the man who had been drinking quietly all this while. “Allow me to introduce to you this man. He is Drifting Sword, the sect master of White Robe Sect, and he appeared in Yangzhou just the day before yesterday. I remember the possibility that there might be very few people in the game in the future who can fight against Mu Clan, and it fills me with worry. To prevent Mu Clan from monopolizing the entire game, we’re prepared to set up an alliance.”

“An alliance?” Teacher was puzzled. “But we’re from America—”

“It’s fine, all our friends from America can join our Chinese sects. As long as you agree to send hundreds of elites into the Chinese server and join Class One Hall, I will take charge and give a city’s worth of resources to provide you with the best environment to increase your strength.”

Right when she finished speaking, Teacher’s eyebrows twitched, and he was tempted!

“Hundreds?”

“That’s right. We need elites with your skills.” Dream Clouds was full of smiles.

Even though these people could not win against Drifting Sword in a one on one fight, and they could not even win against Evil Wolf, once they switched all their equipment to masterpieces at the fourth echelon, their strength will increase by leaps and bounds, and the situation will be different.

With this group of amazing soldiers in hand, given time, she was confident that she could destroy Mu Clan!
