Xu Yao's words stunned Happy on the spot.
No one knew what Xu Yao said after that, but after she hung up, she frowned and slowly placed her phone on the table. She took a deep breath and retracted her hands. Her emotions fluctuated as she fell into deep thought.
She also put down her bowl and chopsticks and stared at him curiously.
His expression was very stern and serious, but he also seemed to be immersed in some complicated memories.
"What happened?"
Xu Xin asked carefully.
"It's nothing."
Happy's thoughts were a little chaotic, and he shook his head.
Xu Yao's actions puzzled him.
The woman who had betrayed him in his previous life, at this very moment, wasn't it the perfect opportunity to strike him down and help the evildoer once more? Was it because she had found her conscience, or was there a deeper conspiracy hidden behind her?
Once he sucked in a deep breath, he suddenly remembered that Silver Wolf had once told him some of the information he did not know in his previous life.
Xu Yao's family.
There were some things that he didn't know in his previous life.
He had never heard Xu Yao mention where she lived or what her family background was like. She never left school during the holidays in his past life, spending most of her time in the game.
But based on Silver Wolf's understanding, Xu Yao's parents lacked the ability to work and did not have any source of income. Xu Yao had to balance her studies with work and some kind-hearted people to support her.
He naturally knew about his studies, but he had always been with Xu Yao when it came to work, and he knew her daily routine for the past three years. It was impossible for Xu Yao to have the chance to look for a job outside, so …
There was a high possibility that he would be working for Blood Robes and Class One Hall.
If that was the case …
Why was Xu Yao reminding them that the majority of the team was in danger?
When he faced the hot food on the table, he suddenly lost his appetite.
"Xin, you eat first, I have to go in and take a look."
He ate two mouthfuls of rice before he grabbed his phone and returned to his bedroom with a solemn expression.
…
"Go to the high ground on the east side. Once you see someone approaching, immediately fire a signal flare to warn us."
"… You guys go to the west and look for a high vantage point."
When he returned to the game, the sky was already completely dark, and Silver Wolf was assigning scouting and patrolling missions to the Mu Clan members.
While Happy walked over, he looked around.
Sparse torches were set up half a mile away from the main camp. The blazing flames were arranged in an orderly fashion, and they illuminated a few high and small slopes, allowing them to see the situation in the distance.
At the same time, a few squads dressed in night clothes entered the grassland in the distance.
It had to be said that Silver Wolf was more experienced in this area than he was.
Happy nodded in his heart. At the very least, within such a short period of time, he would not have been able to think of something so meticulous as to consecutively set up two layers of warning lines at the place where everyone set up camp.
"Happy?"
Silver Wolf noticed Happy's figure in the crowd, and he immediately gave a few orders before he walked out of the crowd. "You're so fast?"
"I'm worried."
It was a simple exchange, but it allowed everyone around to understand the urgency of the situation.
Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, and Wind and Rain Alliance all became wary.
If Silver Wolf were the only one who appeared and made arrangements, they would not think much of it, but now, even Happy, who had just logged off a few minutes ago, quickly returned to the game. They instantly sensed a heavy and tense atmosphere, and it was mixed with a faint hint of unease.
"Even though there are fifty thousand people missing from Class One Hall and the plains are huge, it's very easy for them to discover them, based on my understanding of Dream Clouds, when she faces more than twenty thousand of us, she will send at least three times the number of people to ensure that nothing will go wrong. A conservative estimate is that she will send more than eighty thousand people."
"…"
Silver Wolf looked up at the sky.
"With Class One Hall's strength, it won't be a problem for them to mobilize eighty to one hundred thousand people. It's a pity that the plains has been dark and windy over the past few nights. We can't see many stars, and our field of vision is very small. We're in the light, and they're in the dark.
Happy nodded quietly.
If he could perform divination, his side would definitely have the upper hand.
In fact, he did not even need twenty thousand people. He alone could scare away the Class One Hall members on the plains, but that was if Dream Clouds did not want her own people to be kited.
"Right now, we can only defend."
Happy sighed and could not help but ask, "How many of us are there on the plains?"
"We have around three thousand people on our side. I've already notified the others, and they'll log in as soon as possible." While Silver Wolf answered, he swept his gaze over the area not too far into the distance. "If we add in the people from Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, and Wind and Rain Alliance, we should have around half of them. We have around twelve thousand people, but we're still too few. If we run into Class One Hall's main force, we won't be able to fight at all."
"Have the remaining cavaliers settled down?"
Happy's tone changed.
Silver Wolf nodded.
"The cavaliers are all protected at the center. Once war breaks out, those with military titles will go up first. There are also people specifically assigned to protect these cavaliers at the back."
"We can lose the war, but we must try our best to protect these people." A cold glare shone in Happy's eyes. "The longer we last, the more losses Class One Hall will suffer."
"I'll pay attention."
Once Silver Wolf finished speaking, he noticed that Happy had suddenly put on a human skin mask. He was immediately stunned, and when he looked in the direction of his gaze, he noticed that Happy was looking at a woman in green who had just returned to the game. She was from Mu Clan.
"…"
Right when Silver Wolf was about to say something, he saw Happy turn his head around and cast a glance at Little North, who was walking over from the distance. He said, "I'll leave this place to you. I'm going out for a while. Little North, come with me."
"Boss?" Little North was stunned for a moment before he finally recognized Happy's voice. He jogged over with a jolt.
"When Knife and Thunder come up, have them scout the path on the plains. Instead of being in a passive position and waiting for Class One Hall to attack us, it's better for us to take the initiative. In any case, it's dark now, and the Mongolian cavaliers won't easily move out. We might as well fight against Class One Hall at night!"
"I understand."
Silver Wolf nodded and agreed to it. He watched Happy and Little North mix into the crowd and head to the depths of the dark plains in the distance.
Right after the group of people left, Xu Yao hurriedly chased after Thunderous Battle.
"Silver Wolf, where's Happy?" Thunderous Battle started speaking from the distance, and he seemed to be in a hurry. "I wonder which bastard actually leaked our coordinates. Class One Hall might come and cause trouble for us. Tell everyone to hurry up and log in. We can't stay here for long." Thunderous Battle spoke from the distance.
When he heard this, Silver Wolf cast Xu Yao a glance without batting an eyelid.
"He already knows. It's fine. Nothing will go wrong."
"Of course I know that nothing will go wrong, but you saw how few people we have right now. If Class One Hall comes to surround us …"
"Then let's fight. "By the way, Miss Yao, since you're here, help me with something. Bring another small squad and help me defend those cavaliers. If the people from Class One Hall come, their first target will definitely be this group of cavaliers!" Silver Wolf replied indifferently.
