Sword Among Us Chapter 349

Chapter 349 - Competition

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Class One Hall acted against Beautiful Robes Faction, it was the third day of Happy’s stay in the crystal mine. The one-hundred-and-fifty-men mining team had already become a gold mining machine for Mu Clan. They gained more than one hundred million taels of silver of revenue per day, and it caused Mu Clan’s accumulation of wealth to reach extraordinary heights.

The miners came from Beautiful Robes Faction, Black Rose Clan, and some were hired locally. When they saw their contribution points continue to rise, they were all in high spirits.

The steady income from the second level of the crystal mine allowed them to earn more than what most players outside could gain. They could basically buy one masterpiece per day, so all of them mined the caves happily.

Happy was not idle either. Once Red Coral and Black Rose left, he bought a few low-tier martial arts from the market and practiced them on Stone King. Their realms increased by leaps and bounds!

But he only managed to push one martial art to the tenth realm.

Since he was still hunted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he did consider it a waste of his time. At the very least, he was another step closer to learning Shifting Stars.

‘So happy right now.’

A messenger pigeon flew into the crystal mine, and Happy happily handed over Stone King to a member of Righteous Sect—it was their turn to lure Stone King around—before moving away from the fight. While he calmed down his surging heart, he opened the letter.

And frowned.

It was One Circle who had sent him the letter. It had a brief description of Beautiful Robes Faction’s predicament along with his anger toward Class One Hall. One Circle and the others from Beautiful Robes Faction had already equipped themselves and were prepared to go, ready to head back to Wengcheng to provide reinforcements, and they asked Happy whether he wanted to join them.

Class One Hall’s outrageous attack caught Happy by surprise!

Besides, Beautiful Robes Faction did indeed lack the power to protect itself at that moment.

Even though Beautiful Robes Faction’s numbers surpassed even Jade Fox Palace, One Circle had led many of their elites to Baokang. Right then, they were certain to not be able to make it back in time for the war.

If Class One Hall truly wanted to attack Beautiful Robes Faction, then even if Beautiful Robes Faction made full preparations, they would not be able to stop the attack. Beautiful Robes Faction, Phoenix Dances, Tea Words, and the others might be in danger.

While Happy pondered about it, he looked up. A group of Beautiful Robes Faction members had stopped mining within the cave and looked at him anxiously. Clearly, they had also received news that Beautiful Robes Faction was in danger.

“Everyone, continue. Beautiful Robes Faction will be fine.”

Once Happy placated the people, he quickly wrote two letters and swiftly sent them out.

Class One Hall should have been doing it as a counterattack to the alliance of the five sects in Baokang. Happy had considered the possibility that Class One Hall would be enraged after he stopped their plans to develop in Baokang County Town. After all, Baokang was one of the few counties that had a vast pool of resources. Yet right then, due to Happy’s interference with the situation, Baokang had turned into an unshakeable military camp.

If Class One Hall’s Dream Clouds could endure something like that, then he would have to admit that he admired her patience!

After all, all of it was happening right under Dream Clouds’ eyes.

Beautiful Robes Faction was swiftly growing stronger, and Mu Clan rose to power as well!

Class One Hall would definitely not wish to see these two factions grow stronger in two different regions and joining together in the end.

Hence…

‘So you want to destroy Beautiful Robes Faction, huh?’

Once he became certain of Class One Hall’s plans, Happy could not help but feel a chill grow in his heart. He could not help but remember a certain person’s figure in his mind.

The attack had a very clear goal. Class One Hall wanted to instantly wipe out all the forces of power in Wengcheng, and they had decided to provoke and attack the hot-tempered students from Beautiful Robes Faction first. If Happy tried to convince himself that there was no one guiding that girl’s actions behind her back, even he himself would not be able to believe in his own words.

‘You attacked me in my previous life, and now you betrayed all of Beautiful Robes Faction…’ When Happy noticed that things had progressed differently from how they did in his previous life, for some unknown reason, he felt a little relieved and relaxed, but also strangely hurt.

At that moment, he was certain that Xu Yao, who had been his girlfriend for more than two years in his previous life, had some form of connection with Class One Hall since the start. Perhaps that connection was even that person.

Happy stood for some time in his original spot in the cave, his gaze gradually growing colder.

Flap, flap!

A snow white messenger pigeon entered the crystal mine. Happy quickly grabbed it, opened the letter, and read One Circle’s reply.

[Got it!]

The answer was short and firm.

Happy’s reply to One Circle had been that they were far away from Wengcheng right now, and even if they went back, they could do nothing. It would be better for them to stay here, and if something really did happen to Beautiful Robes Faction, Happy would go forth to destroy the closest Class One Hall branch to take revenge straight away.

After thinking about it carefully, One Circle forced down his agitation and agreed.

However, he did not know that Happy was worried that Class One Hall was actually trying to lure them away.

Happy had witnessed many of Class One Hall’s methods. There were plenty of powerful sects who had been destroyed by Class One Hall’s subordinate sects.

One Circle and the rest might be safe in Baokang, but once they left, there was a high chance that they would be ambushed by unknown people. Then, while they were weakened, they would be held back and have to fight against that group of unknown people for a long time.

If Beautiful Robes Faction wanted to save them, they would then have to divide their forces.

And Happy would be caught in a difficult situation too. Should he save his people, protect Mu Clan, or take revenge?

Happy did not want to follow in the steps of those sects that were destroyed.

Since Class One Hall had decided to attack, then he might as well fight to his heart’s content and baptize them with blood!

He wanted to see how many people in Class One Hall could stop him while he had Silver Aquatic Dragon Set and Golden Bell Cocoon at great completion.

The second messenger pigeon flew back, but it was not the person Happy had sent his second letter to previously. Instead, it came from Chivalry Sect. When he looked at the hasty words written in a flourish, he instantly imagined Lin Xiao’s anxious face.

[Brother, Beautiful Robes Faction is in danger right now. Class One Hall might be thinking about attacking you. I’ve already contacted some of my friends nearby to help. I hope that Beautiful Robes Faction can get through this disaster. Brother, don’t be hasty. No matter what, Class One Hall has a great enterprise, and they have a lot of people as well. They are also very well organized. Don’t let momentary personal loyalty affect your judgment; you still have Mu Clan! As long as Mu Clan is still around, we will have a chance to turn the tables around!]

Each sentence was written scrupulously. Clearly, Lin Xiao did not think that Beautiful Robes Faction had a good chance to emerge victorious.

But that was to be expected.

After all, Class One Hall was a professional gaming guild, and they were well-organized. Usually, they would only attack when they were certain of their victory.

Regardless of their fight for the tribute in Mount Song, their actions in Fox Cave, or their united attack in Baokang, all of them were planned skillfully and thoroughly. They moved like lightning when they attacked, and Chivalry Sect knew it very well.

If certain unforeseen circumstances that no one had expected had appeared during those attacks, Class One Hall’s operations would have been perfect.

For example, Class One Hall’s sudden appearance in Wengcheng had caught Beautiful Robes Faction off guard. This alone was enough to show that once Class One Hall showed its fangs, the situation was basically set in stone.

Happy replied to Lin Xiao and thanked him for his concern. Then, the messenger pigeon from the person Happy had been waiting for for a long time finally entered his sight and landed on Happy’s shoulders.

Under the messenger pigeon’s beady gaze, Happy opened the letter in his hand. Then, he released a long sigh of relief.

[I’m there!]

It was from Silver Wolf.
