Chapter 1036 - Evil Emperor Arrived Earlier

Within just a short half a month, the situation at Wind Assault Tower turned so horrible that it was unbearable to watch.

In the beginning, they had nearly four hundred branches in the Chinese server, and right now, there were fewer than three hundred branches left. But they had not just lost one quarter of their territory, many of the Wind Assault Tower members had also left, because they could not see any hope in rising to power, and their higher ups also did nothing to counterattack. All of them were dispirited as they continued waiting in the city, and in the end, this tragedy happened.

Meanwhile, Class One Hall, which had originally been in a perilous situation and had even been said to be at the brink of destruction was now prospering. Even though One Emperor had destroyed at least ten of their branches, he did not manage to damage their core, and soon, those damaged branches were rebuilt, and their status as the lord of the Chinese server was as stable as ever.

However, what caused the world to be puzzled was that one week ago, war had broken out at the northern part of the Chinese server, and powerful offenses targeted at certain people were launched everywhere in the north. Many people did not think that Wind Assault Tower would come out of it unschated and were certain that Wind Assault Tower would be forced to admit to their mistakes and submit to Class One Hall in the end or that they would do something to change the situation, but Phantasmal Shadow and quite a lot of higher ups never responded to any of the actions outside.

For half a month, all members of Wind Assault Tower trained inside the branches in the cities while they defended their territory. Even though many of the branches in the north had been destroyed, the branches in the other cities did not relax in their guard. Even if they had to sacrifice their training time, they did not admit to defeat, and they firmly believed that the fact that Class One Hall was working with Wild Wolves would be revealed sooner or later.

Just like that, while countless people lamented about the fact that Wind Assault Tower did nothing and paid attention to the situation, the war between Wind Assault Tower never stopped fighting over the past half a month, and they were showing signs that the war between them was going to become even worse.

“Phantasmal Shadow sure can hold on.

“She had one quarter of her territory taken away over the past half a month, and nearly one quarter of her members left as well, but she still refused to surrender.”

“Let the people outside say what they want. Blood Robes, did you actually think that Phantasmal Shadow can surrender with her position? Regardless of whether it is Wandering Know-it-all, whose position has transcended all those in the game, or the pride of the strongest in the Chinese server, neither of them will allow an ally to submit and ask for a compromise.”

“I just think that if you were in that sort of situation, you will definitely not care about what others think. You will temporarily sacrifice yourself for the whole situation.” Blood Robes looked at Dream Clouds with a calm smile.

Dream Clouds did not look displeased. Instead, she just raised her chin slightly and said pridefully, “To me, Class One Hall’s interest and success must be prioritized above everything else. As long as I can make Class One Hall strong, coming to a temporary compromise is nothing. You’re right, this is the greatest difference between me and Phantasmal Shadow, that’s why, right now, the person who is doomed eternally is her, not me!”

When she said this, Dream Clouds suddenly paused for a moment before she said, “But the situation in Wind Assault Tower has been a little strange lately. Send someone to pay attention to them.”

“Right now, all the Wind Assault Tower members are staying in the city like cowards, and they’re using the sect prisons from the sects they’re pretty friendly with to keep their tower afloat. There’s no need for you to tell me what to do. They’re all already within our scrutiny,” Blood Robes said with a relaxed tone while he tapped against the tea table. “Right now, we’re just waiting for Evil Emperor to arrive. Most of their branches in the north have already been destroyed by us. We can’t touch the ones in the south for the time being, but if you give me enough people, I will soon be able to take down a group of Wind Assault Tower’s branches. It’s not impossible for us to completely destroy Wind Assault Tower.”

Dream Clouds quickly interrupted him and said, “You don’t have to pay attention to the branches in the south. It’s clear that Phantasmal Shadow wants to defend her branches with her foundation right now and whittle down our strength. After all, there are too many branches in the south. It’ll take us too much time to destroy them one by one. Without an absolute advantage in numbers, we’ll just be wasting away our own strength.”

“Right now, our elites are all mobilized in the north, and if we mobilize a lot of people once more, Phantasmal Shadow will definitely notice it. At that time, the situation in the north will repeat itself, and it will not be good if we let those people from Wind Assault Tower see hope once more.”

Blood Robes nodded slowly and quietly. He felt that there was logic behind Dream Clouds’ words.

Over the past few days, he had been longing to destroy Wind Assault Tower sooner, but he did not expect that the change in details might give Wind Assault Tower a chance to turn the tables around.

When it came to viewing the whole situation, he admitted with shame that he could not compare to Dream Clouds.

“So, we will still need some time to destroy Wind Assault Tower. But we no longer have a lot of time left. Evil Emperor has already moved into Yellow River Basin from East Ocean. Soon, he will appear in Beijing.

“In truth, there are pros and cons to Evil Emperor’s appearance in the Chinese server. Even if he’s not around, we can still slowly destroy Wind Assault Tower completely.”

Blood Robes’ expression tensed.

Evil Emperor’s arrival in the Chinese server could be said to be a nightmare. To them, who now had absolute advantage, this was not a good thing.

“I know that.” Dream Clouds rubbed her forehead. “But Evil Emperor is adamant in coming to the Chinese server, and it’s impossible for him to go back after he’s already almost here. Besides, Evil Emperor already said that he has come here with two goals in mind this time. One of them is to help us completely destroy Wind Assault Tower, and the other goal is One Emperor.”

“…But One Emperor lost to him.”

“I heard that the Prophet mentioned that One Emperor has understood an even more powerful sword technique, so he wants to witness how much stronger One Emperor has become. After all, One Emperor is the only person in the entire game who can be considered his opponent.”

When he heard this, Blood Robes frowned slightly.

Dream Clouds saw this, but she said nothing as well.

He might be a veteran professional gamer, but he did not even have the right to become the rival of a top-class player, and this was indeed quite the shock for him.

Dream Clouds’ tone changed as she gave her next order. “In the next twenty-four hours, Wandering Know-it-all will definitely do everything he can to look for Evil Emperor and spread news about it. At that time, a rather huge ruckus might appear in the Chinese server. Blood Robes, I need Blood Alliance to create chaos over the next two days.”

“How should I create chaos?” Blood Robes’ expression returned to normal.

“Evil Emperor’s first stop will definitely be Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters. With Evil Emperor serving as our garrison, we don’t need to worry about One Emperor and Wind Assault Tower’s elites. We can easily charge into Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, and I don’t want anyone to help Wind Assault Tower during that time!

“Your task is to create as much chaos as you can in the north, and the more chaos you create, the better. It’ll be the best if you can make all the factions of power in the north not have the time to be nosy fools.” Two fierce and cold glares shone in Dream Clouds’ eyes. “With just half a day, and at most one day, I will be able to kill all the Wind Assault Tower members in Beijing in one fell swoop!”

Blood Robes sucked in faint breath. “With the twelve sects in Beijing helping us, creating havoc in the north isn’t a problem, but I can only guarantee creating chaos within a circular area of sixty-two miles from Beijing. I can’t guarantee being able to succeed in areas that are further away.”

Dream Clouds said confidently, “It’s fine. By then, I will personally notify the leader of Head Hunters and make sure that they won’t send their information in time to the leaders of the other sects. Once they lose connection with him, they will be delayed by at least half a day if these normal sects want to summon enough people into Beijing. By then, Wind Assault Tower will no longer exist in the north, and all of Wind Assault Tower’s allies will be destroyed.”

Blood Robes had a smile bloom on his face. “I know what I should do now.”

When she saw Blood Robes turning around to leave, Dream Clouds suddenly remembered something. “Wait. We’ve been paying attention to Wind Assault Tower and One Emperor over the past half a month, and we seem to have missed one person.”

“Are you talking about Happy?”

Dream Clouds’ gaze was cold. “That’s right. Ever since the battle at Dragon’s Gate, that brat disappeared without a trace. I’ve asked the Prophet to search for him during this period of time, but even if I handed a portrait to him, he can’t find him. He should have used a human skin mask to hide in a place no one knows.”

“I think he’s terrified by the strength we revealed.”

Even though Happy had indeed brought endless trouble to Blood Robes, when compared to One Emperor and Phantasmal Shadow, he still seemed too weak. Over this period of time, Blood Robes never even thought about Happy. Right now, when he heard Dream Clouds mention him, he could not help but have disdain and derision appear in his eyes.

“Are you really going to be the same as the others and think that Happy has been intimidated by Class One Hall?” Dream Clouds asked faintly.

Blood Robes’ expression did not change. “There’s no doubt about it. “When he was a normal player at Life and Death Realm, he fought against Class One Hall and Blood Alliance without hesitation. He even dared to provoke Wild Wolves. Even if we revealed our trump card in Beijing, I don’t think all of that is enough to make him afraid. You have to understand that compared to a few months ago, he is already much stronger, and there is no need for him to be afraid of us at all.”

“That’s because last time, Wind Assault Tower supported—”

“You’re wrong.” Dream Clouds interrupted Blood Robes and said, “We have spies in Wind Assault Tower, and they’ve stated clearly that Happy rejected Phantasmal Shadow’s offer to join them. Besides, Happy seems to intend to rebuild Beautiful Robes Faction, which means that his ambitions have already turned him into a Happy who is different from the Happy you know. It also means that Happy is not just an elite who is close to One Emperor’s level, but is also not a player who does not care about fame and wealth, unlike One Emperor.”

“What are you trying to tell me?”

“Don’t underestimate him. I have a feeling that he might be doing something we don’t know when he suddenly vanished and refused to appear even when many players mock him and apply pressure on him.”

She stopped talking for a while before Dream Clouds said in an uncertain tone, “I can control all information about One Emperor, Phantasmal Shadow, and Wandering Know-it-all, and make preparations to fend against him, but I couldn’t find even a single bit of information about Happy.”

“Are you saying…?”

“This time, when Evil Emperor arrives in the Chinese server, Wind Assault Tower and One Emperor will be trapped, and it’ll be difficult for them to cause too much of a splash. If any accident might occur, then it will come from Happy.”

Blood Robes said nothing, but his expression instantly turned dark.

Dream Clouds’ words made it clear that her evaluation for Happy was really high.

Evil Emperor was about to arrive, and they needed to discuss many things.

Aside from Wind Assault Tower, One Emperor, and many of the sects who had a good relationship with Wind Assault Tower, they also had to prevent the extreme reaction from countless players in the Chinese server after Evil Emperor appeared.

This battle might concern Wind Assault Tower’s survival, but at the same time, it also concerned Class One Hall’s survival.

They had to consider many details to make sure that they could control the Chinese server and suppress all the people here in the future.

While they discussed things among them, the duo would occasionally send out a messenger pigeon.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Then, Dream Clouds suddenly cast Blood Robes a glance with a strange expression, once she gave him a few orders, she logged off.

A few minutes later, Dream Clouds returned to the hall in the headquarters, and her expression was incredibly stern.

“Evil Emperor has already arrived in Beijing one day ahead of schedule! We’ll be bringing all our plans forward!”

Blood Robes was stunned silent.

“Summon all our people and surround Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters!”
