Chapter 1044 - Wind Assault Tower’s Retreat

Chapter 1044: Wind Assault Tower’s Retreat

Evil Emperor’s appearance quickly caused a stir in Beijing.

This was originally just a fight between Wind Assault Tower and Class One Tower to decide just who was the strongest sect in the Chinese server, but because of Evil Emperor’s appearance, the atmosphere of the war immediately lost its original tone, and at the same time, countless players were filled with unease and rage.

Evil Emperor and Dream Clouds stood together on the roof, and this was very clear evidence to prove Wandering Know-it-all’s guess right. Class One Hall and Wild Wolves did indeed have a close connection that others did not know.

This was not Class One Hall taking revenge, but a scheme that they had been concocting for a long time to get rid of the greatest faction of power and the most powerful alliance in fighting against Wild Wolves in the Chinese server!

“We can’t let Class One Hall and Wild Wolves’ scheme work!”

“Those who don’t want to be enslaved by Wild Wolves and Class One Hall, shout!”

“Damn it, we can’t let Class One Hall hide this fact!”

“What the heck?! Class One Hall wants to use Wild Wolves to conquer the Chinese server? We can’t let them succeed! Immediately send messenger pigeons to other places! We have to spread word about Class One Hall’s ambitions and scheme!”

“I’m going to log off and upload the battle replay of Dream Clouds and Evil Emperor standing together! I refuse to believe that Class One Hall can throw their weight around when the Chinese server is so big and filled with so many people!”

A great commotion burst out in the streets.

Many people had even begun shouting at Class One Hall and the Beijing sects. They drew their weapons, and conflicts erupted everywhere in an endless stream. Class One Hall, who originally controlled the situation, felt anxious, as if their backyard had just burst into flames.

*****

Evil Emperor noticed the change in the situation around him, but he just cast a nonchalant look at it before he said, “As expected of the partner I value. Perhaps you’re the only person in the Chinese server who can still control the current situation.”

“Control the situation? Do you know just how many players there are in the Chinese server?” Dream Clouds did not bother hiding the displeasure in her voice.

“In the hundred millions. I know this very well, but there are fewer than fifty percent of them who have truly reached Moksha Realm, and there are fewer than three million of them in Beijing. One-fifth of the five million people here are your subordinates. I’ve made sure of the numbers when I came here, and I’m certain that you can settle everything.” Evil Emperor did not even bother turning his head around once. He just said with a smile, “But if you continue like this, not only will you not destroy Wind Assault Tower, you might even end up throwing away Class One Hall.”

When Dream Clouds listened to the first half of Evil Emperor’s words, she felt a little smug, because Evil Emperor was right. She had managed to progress to this point because she had already considered everything that could possibly happen in Beijing into her calculations. For the next few hours, no faction of power could possibly interfere and affect the situation at Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters.

However, when she heard the second half of Evil Emperor’s words, her expression sank. “Are you doubting my abilities?”

Evil Emperor waved his finger and turned his head around to stare at Dream Clouds. “No, no. If I didn’t believe in you, there’s no way Wild Wolves would have approached you to work together. I just wanted to remind you that up to this point, Wind Assault Tower hasn’t begun using their strength, and the one attacking has always been Happy alone.”

“They haven’t used their strength?” Dream Clouds’ expression changed.

If those words had come out of someone else’s mouth, Dream Clouds would naturally ignore them, but Evil Emperor was backed by the Prophet, who was nearly omniscient. “What do you know?”

“It’s good that you’re diffident.” Evil Emperor looked away with a smile, schooled his expression, and said, “No matter what, Wind Assault Tower has been occupying the spot of the strongest in the Chinese server for some time. You can’t possibly be thinking that they don’t have even a proper defensive measure, can you? Did you actually think that they could only rely on Wandering Know-it-all’s disciple?”

His words alerted Dream Clouds, and it was only then that Dream Clouds noticed that she had missed certain things because she had been too confident.

The facts that Phantasmal Shadow and One Emperor were both absent and how her two hundred elites had forced their way into the headquarters as well as smoothly launched their offense had lowered her guard, and she had ignored some of the things that she should have been paying attention to.

Phantasmal Shadow might not be in Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, but she definitely had made arrangements!

But up to this current point, their strongest counterattacks were mainly launched by Happy and Wind Chimes, who were both powerhouses. The power Wind Assault Tower only displayed average combat strength.

“If you continue having your people drag out the fight in Wind Assault Tower, the person who will have the last laugh will definitely not be you.”

Dream Clouds said nothing, and she was a little skeptical about Evil Emperor’s words.

Even though Phantasmal Shadow’s hidden strength could create some degree of damage to Class One Hall, Dream Clouds believed with absolute advantage in her hands, the destruction of Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters was inevitable.

“You don’t believe in me?”

Evil Emperor could tell that Dream Clouds did not believe in his words, and he smiled, unbothered. “You’ll soon understand.”

When she saw that Evil Emperor had stopped talking, Dream Clouds finally had a hint of unease flash in her eyes.

*****

“Evil Emperor finally appeared!”

Evil Emperor’s appearance caused Wind Assault Tower to instantly sense endless pressure and fear, but Wu Kuo’s reaction was rather unexpected.

Wu Kuo called out to two elders and had them take his place to block Class One Hall from moving forward before he resolutely removed himself from the front lines. Then, he jumped over countless people’s heads to enter the back hall.

In a wing at the back hall in Wind Assault Tower were more than twenty players dressed in bluish-white warrior clothes. They had been waiting there for a long time.

They heard the door open from outside with a creak, and they saw Wu Kuo enter. The group stood up from their seats at the same time, and they asked with burning gazes, “How is it?”

“Evil Emperor has already showed up, and he’s currently beside Dream Clouds.”

The Tang Sect member in the lead spoke with a loud voice. His voice was firm. “We already know. We have friends from Tang Sect who are taking care of the situation outside, and they’ve sent us messenger pigeons beforehand. We’ve promised Master Wandering Know-it-all before this that if Evil Emperor shows up, we will take action. Since Wild Wolves and Class One Hall are really working together, we will take action in case that woman really thinks that there is no one in the Chinese server who can stand up against her!”

“Alright!” Wu Kuo was delighted.

These people were all the best of the best in Tang Sect. Even though they belonged to different sects and their sects did not dare offend Class One Hall, they were indebted to Wandering Know-it-all in the past, and they valued the code of chivalry the most. When Evil Emperor first entered the Chinese server, they contacted Wandering Know-it-all and told him that they wanted to help. Now, with these people helping, the pressure they suffered at the frontlines will be decreased by a large margin.

This group of people followed behind Wu Kuo and walked out of the wing in a mighty manner. Under countless Wind Assault Tower members’ gazes, they entered the hall, which served as the frontline for the war.

“Hiss…”

They then went straight to the roof, and when the group saw the dangerous situation in the hall, the Tang Sect elites could not help but suck in sharp breaths.

Even though they already knew that Wind Assault Tower was in a rather worrisome state while they were inside the back hall, they did not expect that the situation would have worsened to this state soon after war began. Besides, the group of elites down there were clearly not ordinary people. When they observed them carefully, they noticed that they were all famous people in Beijing.

“We’ll have to leave things to you!” Wu Kuo pointed at the crumbling defense lines by the sides. “Please help protect those places. Once those two sides crumble, Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters might end up as a relic in history.”

“Don’t worry, as long as we’re around, no one can pass through us.

“Brothers and sisters, use your strongest moves and kill those traitors, chase all those bastards out of this place!”

As the leader of the Tang Sect elites gave that order, the twenty or so Tang Sect elites behind him responded to him.

“Senior brother, don’t worry!”

“If I spare even one, I’ll use a Grieving Needle and stab myself…”

“Defense isn’t my style. I’ll just kill them all and force them out of Wind Assault Tower!”

“Stop boasting and get to work!”

The leader of Tang Sect shouted fiercely, and the group no longer remained idle. They put on deerskin gloves and moved to the left and right with fierce, murderous intent.

*****

The two corridors to the left and right of the hall were the main focus for the Class One Hall elites. Those were important spots for them to break out of the encirclement, because the roof of the hall had already been destroyed, and not many people could stand on it. Wind Assault Tower lost the advantage of suppressing from above, and they could only rely on their tanks as well as the archers at the back to stop them.

But the archers also had to focus on the Class One Hall army outside from marching inward, and if they paid too much focus on the people inside the hall, the shield wielders outside will get closer and threaten the entire defense line.

Hence, this battle inside the hall gradually turned into close quarters combat.

More than ten Tang Sect members stood on the beam, and they were immediately noticed by the people from Class One Hall.

“There’s someone up there!”

“Bring them down!”

Before their voices faded away, someone had already taken the initiative to attack.

Hundreds of hidden weapons shot at them from below.

“Look at those toys! They actually dared to throw hidden weapons at me!”

“Is this what you call, ‘teaching a fish how to swim?’”

The group chuckled coldly. Some of them simultaneously brought out a cloak that seemed to be made of silver and gold from their Universe Bags. They quickly spun it in the air before them, and the hidden weapons from below were all instantly dragged into the cloak.

“Abstruse Gold Cloak!”

Quite a number of people below immediately had their expressions change drastically, and they could not help but cry out in surprise.

This was to be expected. Abstruse Gold Cloak was very famous in the game. It was made using wild silk and unique metal threads. It was soft but tenacious, making it hard to cut. Not only could it serve as a defensive equipment, it could also be used as a weapon to capture all hidden weapons. They were incredibly powerful.

However, Abstruse Gold Cloaks were very rare in the game. It was rumored that only a few top-class elites in Tang Sect were fortunate enough to clear the clan quest that would reward them with an Abstruse Gold Cloak, and with them, they became grandmaster-level assassins.

Right now, a few of these grandmaster-level assassins had appeared in one go at Wind Assault Tower, and the shock they brought was naturally indescribable.

“It’d be impolite for us not to return your gift, you know?!”

Those Tang Sect elites laughed loudly. They spun the Abstruse Gold Cloak in their hands, and many of the hidden weapons they captured in the cloak split into different directions because of a profound method they used, and with different whistles, they charged at the enemies below them at even faster speeds.

“What the heck?!”

“Careful!”

It was as if dozens of hidden weapons elites had attacked at the same time. Hundreds of hidden weapons shot out fiercely.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The other Tang Sect elites continuously brought out throwing knives that were as thin as a cicada’s wings from their Universe Bags. Their hands moved like springs.

Those throwing knives moved like leaves that fell from a willow. They scattered downward in an incredibly messy fashion.

The people down below could clearly sense that there was not much power contained in those throwing knives based on how limp and powerless they moved, but when they cut them, it was incredibly painful.

Pained screams rose nonstop!

In just the blink of an eye, the Class One Hall members below were thrown off their feet.

It was the same on the other side.

“How could this be?!”

“Just who are they?!”

Dream Clouds soon received news that the flanks were attacked, and their advance stopped.

Evil Emperor looked into the distance without batting an eyelid. “Did you really think that Wandering Know-it-all has just cultivated one disciple who will need to come forth and do his bidding at any moment over the past five years, despite the fact that his strength can compare to the Prophet? You’re not the only person in the world who knows how to cultivate your strength.”
