354 Counterattack!

By paying the price of more than one thousand and five hundred faction members, Beautiful Robes Faction won against Class One Hall, who was considered to be superior to everyone. All four hundred or so of Class One Hall members had died, and not a single one escaped.

Once the battle ended and she received the figures, even Phoenix Dances could not believe that it was real.

She remembered hearing that Class One Hall could not be defeated so easily.

Even though Beautiful Robes Faction had indeed brought out an unprecedented fighting spirit and a determination to fight to the death, their rationality told them that Class One Hall's ambush should not have been so simple. There had to have been something else as well.

But all four hundred or so members from Class One Hall had really died in the forest.

Even though Beautiful Robes Faction's sacrifices were not small, they were much lower than what Phoenix Dances estimated. Also, they had managed to retrieve all their weapons, and no one lost anything. They had actually gained more than one hundred masterpieces from the people from Class One Hall. There were even a few first-echelon masterpieces among them, which could be considered to make up for some of the losses Beautiful Robes Faction had suffered.

But Phoenix Dances still did not feel at ease.

Even though all the people from Class One Hall had died, she felt that there was something off. She thus sent a letter to her comrades guarding the headquarters.

[What's the situation at the headquarters?]

Soon, a messenger pigeon returned with the news that everything was peaceful there!

Phoenix Dances said nothing. She released a breath of relief, but the puzzlement in her heart only grew.

Class One Hall's ambush, which had seemed very powerful, showed up to be very weak. There was also the problem that a member had just reminded her of that the leader of the branch in Wengcheng, Promise Clouds, and his elites had never showed their faces.

"Search for their location!"

Phoenix Dances did not dare to be careless and sent a message for everyone to search for Promise Clouds' location.

Their location ten minutes ago should have been around the spot where they had been fighting furiously.

Soon, a messenger pigeon flew back.

Phoenix Dances cast a glance at the coordinates on the paper. Her heart sank, and she cast a glance at the forest in the distance. She summoned her steed and jumped on it.

"Puffy, lead our people and escort the injured back to the city! Our comrades who died will have priority over the contribution points from our loot!"

"Got it!"

Then, Phoenix Dances looked around and said loudly, "Tea Words, Glutinous Rice, Rampaging Dragon, Flying Dragon, choose four hundred members and come with me to the other side of the forest. I suspect that someone helped us block off the people from Class One Hall."

"Alright!"

Regardless of whether it was Phoenix Dances' orders or her act of leading the members in the attack, it convinced many Beautiful Robes Faction members to be under her rule. The seniors and juniors completely accepted Phoenix Dances' status as the faction master, especially after they won. Once they heard her, they answered her call, and thousands of people jumped on their horses.

Rumble!

When they charged into the other side of the forest in a mighty manner, the group saw from the distance that there were five corpses laying strewn outside the forest. Their equipment seemed to be pretty good as well.

"They're from Class One Hall!"

The people who charged ahead of the others jumped down from their horses and checked the corpses. They then looked up with pleasantly surprised expressions and shouted at the crowd. "Promise Clouds is also here."

The group had shocked but pleased and relieved expressions.

The slight unease that remained in their hearts completely disappeared at the moment Promise Clouds and the others' corpses were found.

When everyone looked at Phoenix Dances, their gazes filled with even more admiration.

"Faction master, how did you know that someone helped us?"

"Happy told me."

When Phoenix Dances answered, there was a faint, blissful smile on her face.

The group was stunned speechless.

Qi Ci rode forward with his horse and sized up Phoenix Dances with a strange expression while he mumbled something under his breath. "That brat… How could he put his hoes so far ahead of his bros? I sent him a letter, and he never mentioned that he sent reinforcements. Did he actually just tell you alone?"

The people around wore subtle looks that showed that they understood what was going on.

Phoenix Dances did not turn her head around. She only sat on her horse quietly with a smile.

Happy did not send her a message though.

In fact, he had not given her any instructions, and it was precisely because of his ease with the situation that Phoenix Dances was able to tell certain things.

If Happy had not prepared anything, he would have definitely sent her a message to provide her with some help, but he had been at ease and showed no reaction, which meant that he had to have known that someone would them in his stead.

Phoenix Dances did not provide any explanation. She only ordered her faction members to enter the forest and investigate the area to see whether there were any remnants of Class One Hall there.

Soon, twenty or so corpses were found.

The Beautiful Robes Faction members were stunned.

Based on the people's injuries and the condition of the surroundings, the battle should not have lasted for long.

But based on the fading equipment of the corpses, those people were definitely stronger than the four hundred they had handled.

If the elites with such great equipment had appeared in their battlefield, they would have been a destructive force! Beautiful Robes Faction would have had a hard time resisting them.

When they thought of it, the Beautiful Robes Faction members were shocked and fearful. In the end, they could not help but begin to make guesses: just what sort of power could allow whoever did it to ambush a group of elites from Class One Hall and kill them all within a short amount of time? The elites who had been hiding had not even had the chance to fight back or rush into the main battlefield, which made Class One Hall lose completely with their whole army destroyed.

Only a few elites in the game could do such a thing!

Even knowing all that, Beautiful Robes Faction could not figure out who could have done it for them!

In their eyes, only Happy had such power!

But Happy was clearly far away right then! To avoid being hunted down by Embroidered Uniform Guards, he was forced to hide in the second level of a crystal mine. It was impossible for him to appear in their fight.

"Who is that person?"

"Could he be Happy's friend?"

Even though Happy had not revealed Silver Wolf's information to anyone, the people from Beautiful Robes Faction was still pretty accurate in their guess.

"Brothers and sisters!" Phoenix Dances' expression had changed multiple times earlier, and she lifted her Silver-spiked Staff high in the air before shouting with a firm tone, "Class One Hall killed our brothers and sisters, shall we forgive them?!"

"NO!" the group answered in a voice that shook the heavens.

"Good! Hold your weapons and recover to your peak! We will now march to Wengcheng and completely eradicate Class One Hall from Wengcheng!"

When they heard Phoenix Dances' firm words, everyone's eyes lit up!

Sweep through Wengcheng and destroy Class One Hall's branch?! "Alright!"

Tea Words, Glutinous Rice, and the others became excited.

To them, being able to strike down Class One Hall and protect Beautiful Robes Faction's headquarters was already something had to believe, much less destroying all those from Class One Hall.

So none of them had even thought about taking the initiative to attack and demolish Class One Hall's branch.

Phoenix Dances' words enlightened them, and everyone's blood boiled again!

Butt Shaker even started howling madly and fearlessly. "Kill them! I'll kill those bastards again and take revenge for Rascal!"

"We can't delay this matter, faction master!"

Everyone was incredibly worked up.

When Phoenix Dances saw that everyone's enthusiasm had been stirred, she no longer wasted her breath!

"Let's go!"

More than one thousand people changed direction and headed to Wengcheng.

Rumble!

The ground roared.
