"Hall master!"
Dream Clouds was in the headquarters of Class One Hall in Beijing while Blood Robes and the leaders of the twelve sects were discussing the deployment of the defenses in various places. Suddenly, she heard a shout, and she saw Evil Wolf walking in from outside in a hurry. Her expression immediately darkened, and a hint of unease flashed in her eyes.
"What is it?" Evil Wolf was currently in charge of coordinating the various cities outside Beijing. If he came in without notifying her, it would definitely not be good news. But Dream Clouds still suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and pretended to be calm as she asked.
Once Evil Wolf walked in, he looked around and did not bother to hide anything. "We just received news from Stilled Wind City. Happy found the higher ups of our branch in Stilled Wind City, and he captured all of them in one go. Due to the lack of coordination, the branch was surrounded, and more than two hundred of our members died in battle. Our members sent word that in less than half an hour, the people from Lovely Land will be able to take down Class One Hall and Blood Alliance's branches."
Dream Clouds could not help but suck in a sharp breath.
'I knew it!'
Over the past few days, she had not heard any good news from Evil Wolf.
"Stilled Wind City? Is it the one in the north?"
Blood Robes looked up, and he frowned.
"Yes."
Evil Wolf nodded.
"The resources in Stilled Wind City are pretty good. Not only do they have two crystal mines and one metal mine, there's also a high-grade adventurer point that's similar to the royal mausoleum nearby." Blood Robes frowned and looked at Dream Clouds. There was still puzzlement in his voice. "This is already the nineteenth branch! I don't know where this brat learned his tricks, but over the past four days, he and One Emperor have explored all the rather wealthy cities around Beijing. This brat isn't simple. "
"Yeah."
Dream Clouds nodded with a solemn expression.
"Ji Feng is the one who knows the situation around Beijing the best in Lovely Land. He might be the one who gave the idea behind the scenes. But since Happy can listen to his words, it means that Happy never suspects his people —"
Before she could finish speaking, Blood Robes shook his head.
"It shouldn't be Ji Feng."
"…"
"Recently, I've sent a few spies into Lovely Land. Ji Feng might be a little smart, but right now, he's incredibly busy with the branches and headquarters. He has to continuously set up branches in various cities, and he also has to gather the resource points in various cities that are worth the price. At the same time, he has to be in charge of appointing positions in the branches and recruiting people. How could he come up with a plan for Happy within such a short period of time? I doubt it. "Blood Robes immediately expressed his doubt toward Ji Feng's abilities.
"In the past, I never noticed that Ji Feng had such a clear mind and awareness of the overall situation. Besides, it's not as if he doesn't know that Evil Emperor will be released from prison three days later. He'll be setting up branches near Beijing and controlling resource points. All of this will be in vain. With his cautious personality, it's impossible for him to have such courage."
"Are you saying that everything was Happy's idea?"
Dream Clouds looked at Blood Robes.
In the hall, a group of people held their breath and did not interrupt.
After all, the people who understood Happy the most and had the most right to comment on him were Dream Clouds and Blood Robes.
She shook her head at Dream Clouds' guess again.
"That might not be the case. Aside from Ji Feng, Wandering Know-it-all and Phantasmal Shadow are also on his side. It wouldn't be strange for one or two capable people to appear in Lovely Land."
When they heard Blood Robes' answer, Evil Wolf and the leaders nodded.
Over the past few days, Lovely Land had relied on Happy's bold words and One Emperor's alliance to gain the favor of quite a number of martial artists. They had fifty thousand people on the first day to the current two hundred and thirty thousand, and they were already showing signs of surpassing the major sects in Beijing. In fact, they were showing signs of quickly catching up to Wind Assault Tower, Blood Alliance, and Class One Hall.
Blood Robes and Dream Clouds did not think that it was Happy.
After all, to them, Happy's strength was already so strong that it was insanely strong. There was no way that Happy would be the one who came up with all these brainstorming plans.
"Based on our initial estimations, three days later, Lovely Land might have more than three hundred and fifty thousand people! They will have more than forty branches, and their area of coverage will be centered at Beijing. They will extend to all the cities and towns within a radius of one hundred and fifty miles around Beijing. Beijing has already been isolated.
"The situation is a little complicated now.
"Even if Evil Emperor comes out of prison at that time, we will definitely have to face an enemy whose strength will not lose to Wind Assault Tower. In fact, he will be much stronger than the Wind Assault Tower we ran into in Beijing."
Dream Clouds said these words, and quite a number of people in the hall could not help but shift their butts, which had been sitting for a long time. They listened to Dream Clouds' words even more attentively.
Of course, there were also people who were very confident in Wild Wolves.
Yuan Tianxiong could not help but speak up.
"Hall master!
"Even if Happy used Lovely Land's name to gather a group of fanatics, no matter what, they aren't good people, and they won't be able to pose a great threat within a short period of time. Besides, they don't have a lot of top-class elites. I say, if we let them run wild for a few more days, when Evil Emperor comes out and his army leaves Beijing, will they be able to last?"
"…"
When they heard Yuan Tianxiong's words, Blood Robes and a few of the sect masters in the hall could not help but rub their foreheads.
The situation right now was very clear.
As Wind Assault Tower recuperated in the south and developed and became stronger once more, the circle of power belonging to Class One Hall in the north was once again suppressed by Lovely Land to the point that they could not leave the city. The situation in the Chinese server, which had originally been stabilized, was now in a state of great shock and trouble.
If it were not for the fact that their previous operation had caused a large number of people to lose their strength and their core of strength, and if it were not for Wild Wolves helping them control the situation in the region, Class One Hall would have been in a perilous situation a long time ago.
Right now, what Dream Clouds did not want to see the most was a situation where two armies fought against each other.
A large scale war meant a high number of casualties.
Class One Hall might seem to have an absolute advantage, but once they started fighting, they might attract a large number of Chinese players who smelled blood and rushed over.
Aside from not wanting to fight head-on, Class One Hall was also in a very awkward situation right now.
As the cities around them were controlled by Lovely Land, every single action in Beijing was monitored by Lovely Land. If Class One Hall did anything, Happy would notice it, and he would be able to take precautions beforehand.
The third problem was Evil Emperor.
And that was Evil Emperor.
Even though the battle replay on the official website had swiftly shot to the top spot in the pay-to-view channel at an astonishing speed and the victor between the two of them was instantly decided, causing many people to still be confident in Evil Emperor, there were even more people who felt unfathomable fear and respect toward Happy's strength.
If Evil Emperor came out, he could at most hold Happy back. Lovely Land still had another god!
"…"
Yuan Tianxiong soon realized that he might have said something stupid based on the people's reactions, and he quickly shut his mouth.
"Evil Wolf, leave for the time being. I have something to discuss with the sect masters. If Lovely Land does anything new, remember to report it to me in time."
"Got it."
Evil Wolf left the meeting hall.
Right after Evil Wolf left, a snow-white messenger pigeon flew in from outside and landed in Blood Robes' arms, who had a dumbfounded look on his face.
Blood Robes grabbed the messenger pigeon, removed the letter, and quickly cast a glance at it before he quickly sat up straight.
Dream Clouds and the group of sect masters noticed Blood Robes' abnormality, and they looked over.
They observed the letter for a total of nearly ten seconds.
Blood Robes slowly raised his head, and his expression turned incredibly solemn. He sucked in a deep breath and looked at Dream Clouds, who was seated above him.
"My people came to report that just now, Lovely Land sent a general order to all the sects in the cities where their branches are located."
Lovely Land!
It was Lovely Land again!
Dream Clouds frowned.
"What did they say?"
"They opened up the resource points they just seized from us to all sects, and they announced that all sects can send players to mine ores, including the second level."
Dream Clouds could still remain calm. She sucked in a deep breath and continued asking questions.
"What else did they say?"
"All sects who enter the first level only need to hand over a certain amount of money, and it can be considered as funding for Lovely Land to fight against Class One Hall, Blood Alliance, and Wild Wolves." Blood Robes stopped talking for a moment. Then, with a dark expression, he said something that shocked all the people in the room. "But the sects who want to send people to mine ores in the second level will have to share the resources and benefits with Lovely Land. While Lovely Land protects the mines, they will only get one-third of the benefits. Once the mines are lost, the contract will automatically become invalid."
Right when he finished speaking, Dream Clouds became excited, and with a loud slap, she crushed the handle on the right side of her steed.
"Happy, what a man!"
She stood up with a hateful expression.
The dozen or so sect masters in the room had troubled expressions appear on their faces.
In truth …
Even if Lovely Land instantly swelled to a certain extent, they would not be afraid or worried, because if a sect did not have a stable source of income, it would be very difficult for them to stabilize their morale and morale later on.
It was especially so for a sect like Lovely Land that had suddenly risen to power. They only had fighters, and they did not have players who specialized in occupations to provide them with an endless stream of wealth.
With just one battle, this sort of sect could be crippled!
But if Happy wanted to develop a group of players who specialized in occupations to support a large sect within a short period of time, it was just a pipe dream.
But this move had truly struck Dream Clouds' sore spot!
They gave up their valuable resource points to other sects so that the sects who did not dare to openly fight against Class One Hall or did not have the strength to fight against Class One Hall would provide money and manpower to support Lovely Land. This was undoubtedly a brilliant move that surpassed nature itself.
There were more than one hundred resource points in dozens of cities, and there were more than five hundred sects of various sizes within a circular area of three hundred miles in Beijing.
With more than five hundred sects providing support, Lovely Land could more or less gain some confidence!
As for the valuable resources in the second level of the one hundred or so resource points, they were like treasure vaults, and they would definitely attract the interest of many sects.
The benefits they brought were even more astonishing.
Even though the benefits they gained were much smaller compared to the benefits Lovely Land monopolized, when they gathered them together, the benefits they gained would not lose to any one of the twelve Beijing sects.
But right now, Class One Hall and Wild Wolves had stirred up the hearts of countless heroes in the Chinese server to fight against them. There was a high possibility that Happy's move would gain a lot of people's support within a short period of time.
At that time, even if Class One Hall was prepared to take back the resource points, they would have to face the combined resistance from Lovely Land and countless other sects. It would be incredibly difficult for them to take back the resource points!
Because of that …
It was a shell with a large number of people, and it had its own foundation. It was gradually showing signs of stabilizing itself.
