Chapter 1120 - Chivalry Alliance, Silver Wolf

The inner city of Song House was not far from the port. The walls were tall and sturdy, and it provided a wide field of vision if someone stood on the wall. The entire surface of the sea could be taken in with just one glance.

At that moment, there were thousands of elites who came from various sects everywhere in the game coming and going on the city wall. They stood together with the soldiers of Song House, and there were more than ten thousand of them. They put on an incredibly grand sight, and the air above Song House was filled with a pre-war atmosphere.

The heroes moving around would occasionally run into familiar faces in the crowd, and some might have only met each other for the first time. Either way, they still exchanged pleasantries with each other, and it was incredibly lively.

Only a group of people stationed themselves at a segment of the wall and were quiet. They did not show any intention to talk to others and just quietly observed the bed of reefs appearing and disappearing because of the waves beyond the island. They also kept an eye on the situation beyond the horizon with stern expressions.

Plenty of people on the city walls managed to recognize who this group of people were.

Lin Xiao and Red Dust, the alliance master and vice alliance master of Chivalry Alliance.

A month ago, they were the third strongest sect in the Chinese server who had nearly fallen apart during the operation to fight against Class One Hall.

At that time, a few ten thousand Chivalry Alliance members had crossed Changjiang and were prepared to enter Beijing, but Evil Emperor had reached the Chinese plains at that time, and Dream Clouds also revealed her hidden trump card—the members from the twelve Beijing sects.

At that time, all the Chinese players’ gazes were focused on Wind Assault Tower and Beijing.

Practically no one paid attention to the situation at Chivalry Alliance.

However, Wind Assault Tower was not the only one who suffered the most terrible losses. At the very least, some of the people from Wind Assault Tower managed to break out of the encirclement, but Chivalry Alliance had not known about this situation at all, and to provide reinforcements to Wind Assault Tower, tens of thousands of their members were attacked by the twelve Beijing sects, Blood Alliance, and Class One Hall while they were on their way to Beijing. They were caught off guard, and most of their people died before they were sent to be resurrected in nearby cities. The army of tens of thousands were broken into pieces, and their headquarters was even nearly uprooted later on by Class One Hall.

After all, the foundation of Chivalry Alliance was not as great as Wind Assault Tower.

The army of tens of thousands from Chivalry Alliance was torn to pieces, and they were also fighting in foreign land. At that time, they sank into a situation that was even worse and grim than Wind Assault Tower.

After the people from Wild Wolves appeared, Chivalry Alliance, now fallen apart, simply did not have the ability to gather its forces together in foreign land.

Many people could not see any future for themselves in this battle.

Then, on the next two days, Chivalry Alliance was on the brink of destruction.

However, the swift change in the situation of the Chinese plains caused Chivalry Alliance to be able to see hope, but at the same time, they felt dejected.

Up to this point, Chivalry Alliance could only be considered to have recovered a little of the core of their strength, but their power was far from the time when they were at their greatest. Right now, Lin Xiao and Red Dust were the only ones who retained their titles as top-class elites in Chivalry Alliance. Their sect had already fallen to merely being a large sect.

Lovely Land ruled over the north of the Chinese plains, and Wind Assault Tower had taken over most of the resources in the south. Chivalry Alliance could not recover to its former strength within a short period of time with the resource points remaining.

It was precisely because of this reason and because many people had overlooked Chivalry Alliance because of Lovely Land’s rise to power, Wind Assault Tower’s shift of its battlefield, and how Chivalry Alliance had instantly crumbled during that battle, that Lin Xiao and Red Dust were forced to personally lead their forces to fight at the frontlines so that they could fight for more resources and fortuitous chances for their sect. They had to start from zero now.

“Wandering Know-it-all’s information is very accurate. Look, the ship from the evil cult is here now.”

In the small circle made by the aces from Chivalry Alliance, Red Dust and Lin Xiao faced the raging waves. The vague shadow of ships had already appeared within their field of vision, but their tone was not as excited and nervous as those around them on the wall. They were as indifferent as ever, and they spoke with the tone of an onlooker. They appeared to be incredibly calm.

“I knew that Wandering Know-it-all wouldn’t give up on his reputation just because he joined Lovely Land, but I’m curious. Why did he give us this information? Just because we promised him that we would join Happy’s Imperial Army? Does he wish for Chivalry Alliance to become strong, or does he only wish for both of us to become strong?”

There was a faint, mocking tone in Red Dust’s voice.

This man had gone through years of hardships in World of Martial Arts, and he was now nearly thirty. Even though the lines of his face still allowed others to see his former handsomeness and heroic look, now, after this man who was known as Red Dust Duke in the past went through the dissolution of Chivalry Sect, two dangers of the Chinese server, and two major crises in Chivalry Alliance, he lost the easy smiles he once had. There was an ancient and grave look in his eyes that said he had already seen through the workings of the world.

“Regardless of what he’s thinking, at least his appearance has allowed Chivalry Alliance to avoid destruction. At the same time, he pushed Class One Hall into a corner, and Wild Wolves has also been chased out of the Chinese server.” Compared to Red Dust, Alliance Master Lin Xiao looked much more determined. He stared at the ships riding the waves to approach the island. There were more than one hundred of them. During that time, he simply allowed his hero’s bandana and his robes to flutter in the violent wind.

“Big Brother Lin, do you never regret anything?”

Red Dust turned his head around and cast a deep glance at Lin Xiao. Then, he stared at the sea while he spoke with a calm tone, “While we were at Chivalry Sect, we allowed Wind Void to take over the position of sect master. In the end, Chivalry Sect did not manage to escape from Dream Clouds’ plan to break us up. Right now, because of how we always prioritize chivalry, Chivalry Alliance abandoned everything to provide reinforcements to Wind Assault Tower, and now, we ended up in this state.”

Lin Xiao sighed.

Over this period of time, Wind Assault Tower had occupied a large amount of resource points in the south and did not take care of Chivalry Alliance’s development. In the end, it brought about large discontent in Red Dust.

Lin Xiao thought about this for a moment before he sighed deeply. “Everyone has different principles when it comes to how they conduct themselves in society. Dream Clouds can resort to every means for her benefits. She can even work together with Wild Wolves, but I have my own principles as well. I prioritize chivalry, and I am willing to sacrifice myself for my friends without regrets. Red Dust, you also have certain qualities in you that you refuse to chance, and that is why we’re together. It’s also why we have a group of people who have the same ideals with us gathered beside us. It’s why Chivalry Alliance exists.”

He stopped talking for a moment. Then, Lin Xiao cast a glance at the people whose eyes burned with passion. He smiled and said, “If you ask me for an answer about whether I have ever regretted my decisions, then I will tell you that I have never regretted my decisions. Chivalry Alliance will prioritize chivalry, always. We never did anything wrong. I just want to know whether our comrades beside us have regretted their decision of following me.”

When he finished speaking, Red Dust did not continue with the conversation. His originally mocking look directed at himself gradually faded away. It seemed as if he had become slightly absent-minded because of Lin Xiao wondering whether their alliance members had ever regretted their decision of following him.

At that moment…

“The evil cult has arrived!”

“Everyone, prepare for battle!”

Shouts rose and fell on the wall, and many people picked up their bows and arrows.

On the other side of the wall were a few men with presences which were completely different from the other people. Their expressions were incredibly calm, and their gazes were like torches as they stared at the fleet of ships nearing the port and the bed of reefs.

“I don’t see Evil King and Empress Yin… The ships have stopped, but they’re not disembarking. What’s going on?”

“Silver Wolf, what should we do?” When they noticed the abnormal actions from the evil cult, Thunder, Knife, and Bar cast their gazes on a man who stood straight and had a sharp gaze.

The man had eyes that were as profound as an eagle’s while he surveyed the closely packed fleet of ships that stopped near the port from the wall. He spoke slowly, “We act according to the situation.”

Silver Wolf’s face had not changed much over the years. However, his stony face appeared to be incredibly cold and merciless. His voice was also very callous. “Evil King and Empress Yin brought a lot of evil cult elites with them this time, but Song House still came from Song Clan, and they have a great foundation of strength. Their experience in attacking cities and seizing territory is greater than the evil cult! If they really start fighting, Song House will not necessarily be the ones who will suffer loss. Evil King will definitely enter the inner city of Song House before the others to look for Song Que and fight against him. Once he damages Song House’s morale, he will begin attacking the city. We do not need to attack now.”

Silver Wolf stopped talking for a moment before he continued. His tone changed. “Basically, anyone who is currently at Song House can take up the quests to fight against the evil cult. But I’m curious, what goal does Wandering Know-it-all have to suggest we come here?”

“Didn’t he ask us whether we want to join this Imperial Army or something some time ago? I went about asking just now. I think aside from us, there are also other people who received Wandering Know-it-all and Happy’s invitation.”

Silver Wolf’s eyes flashed, and he said warily, “But we refused the offer. We entered the game too late, and now, we haven’t even entered Inaction Realm. We don’t even have decent equipment. We didn’t do anything astonishing either, so we shouldn’t have caught Happy’s attention. Why did he choose us?”

“Of course the three of us are nameless nobodies, but boss, don’t you forget that you were pretty famous for a period of time before you reentered the game…” Knife reminded him.

Silver Wolf sighed dejectedly. “Impossible… My sister has passed away for almost three years, and three years is enough for the people in the game to have long forgotten who I am. Besides, I’m not even wearing my mask now.”

When he remembered the fact that he did not manage to save his younger sister because it was too late, the strong-looking man instantly became much more dejected.

The three other people looked at each other and sighed.

After more than ten seconds, Thunder suddenly said, “Others might have forgotten about you, Big Brother Silver Wolf, but Happy might remember you…”

Silver Wolf was stunned, but he said nothing.

Bar and Knife was stunned for a moment before they quickly registered what he meant. They nodded together.

“That’s right.”

“Thunder is right. Wasn’t Happy in coma for one and a half years? Big Brother Silver Wolf, you just left the game before that accident happened to him. It might be because of this reason that he still remembers you, which is why he contacted Wandering Know-it-all to contact us.”

“What’s the point in it? Wandering Know-it-all has already mentioned that while Imperial Army is a free organization, it’s main purpose is to go out of the Chinese plains to fight against Wild Wolves. With our current strength, we already have a hard time fighting against the normal top-class elites in the Chinese server, and he wants us to fight against those cunning mercenaries?”

“That’s true…”

When Silver Wolf said this, the trio nodded.

They knew very well that this time, Wild Wolves and Class One Hall were defeated by Lovely Land because Evil Emperor and Wild Wolves had underestimated their enemies, and Happy had also pumped out that revenge fund worth one hundred billion to the people, which was like a huge shot of adrenaline to them. There were also the two ingenious ambushes Lovely Land launched near their headquarters, which they had done by deciding to stake everything in those attacks.

Wild Wolves’ strength was undoubtedly the strongest and best in the world.

If they gathered all their strength and fought with every means in their disposal, the Chinese server would definitely have to use all of its top-class elites to fight. It was basically a pipe dream to fight against Wild Wolves with just the Imperial Army Happy built, and they consisted of just normal first-class elites in the Chinese server!

This was the exact reason behind why Silver Wolf tactfully rejected Wandering Know-it-all’s offer.
