350 Luring the Snake out of Its Hole (1/2)
When Phoenix Dances and her group logged in, there were more than two thousand people around the headquarters. All of them were geared up and ready to draw their weapons. They were surrounded by a pre-war atmosphere. It was tense, as if a storm was about to arrive!
”What's the situation now?”
Phoenix Dances' expression was stern and grave. She quickly walked out of the door with Tea Words and Glutinous Rice behind her. She could not see the people from Class One Hall. Every single spot was occupied by Beautiful Robes Faction members. Upon seeing it, she released a breath of relief and turned her head around to understand the situation and Class One Hall's actions from someone in the know.
A few people who had fought against Class One Hall squeezed to the front.
”We were originally training, and everything was peaceful between both parties, but those bastards from Class One Hall started chatting and said that Beautiful Robes Faction are a bunch of… They just said something really unpleasant, and at that time, we couldn't stop ourselves from wanting to argue with them.”
”Argue? With your personality? You might have actually attacked them, right?”
A few people who understood them laughed.
The speaker's fearless attitude instantly appeared upon hearing that. ”Yeah. I killed a few of them. It's their fault for talking crap about our faction master. They said that we… Argh! I'm just angry, alright?!”
Just when the group was about to say something, Phoenix Dances raised her hand and interrupted their argument.
”Enough with it! It's clear that Class One Hall has been plotting this for a long time, so we can't blame anyone. Right now, what we need to do is to defend our headquarters well! We have to use our lives to protect our dignity!”
”Yeah!”
The group nodded.
Tea Words took over the conversation with a stern expression. ”Everyone, we know just how great Class One Hall is. Jade Fox Palace's people are not that much inferior compared to us, and their strength is not inferior to ours either. Besides, the most important thing is that we are currently in a more dangerous situation compared to Jade Fox Palace. One Circle and our other friends will not be able to return to provide reinforcements for us within twenty-four hours!”
His loud voice echoed through the headquarters, causing the students from the University of South China to understand just how grim their situation was.
”No matter how strong the enemy is, we cannot lose our headquarters!” Phoenix Dances said while grabbing her Silver-spiked Staff in a heroic manner. She stood at the entrance of the headquarters like a female door god, and her words were firm and resolute.
”That's right!”
”We'll fight to the death!”
”We have thousands of us from the University of South China, and our hearts are as one! I refuse to believe that we can't destroy them when they only have hundreds of people!”
”Faction master, give the order! What should we do?!”
All sorts of cries for war rose and fell. Phoenix Dances and Tea Words' words had not only not made the people feel despair, but had stirred up everyone's unyielding fighting spirit, and they were determined to fight to the death!
”Where are the people from Class One Hall now?”
”They should be around nine miles away. A few friends of ours in the same city as them sent us word. Right now, they're following Class One Hall's squad. I heard that they have around four hundred people with them.”
”Around four hundred people?”
When Phoenix Dances heard this, her expression changed. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly exchanged a glance with Qi Ci.
The latter was stunned for a moment before he quickly registered the situation. A hint of happiness appeared on his face.
Since Happy had been targeting Class One Hall in various forms, the Three Lonely Wolves usually paid attention to Class One Hall's actions. They also had a great understanding of Class One Hall's various formations.
This was something that only a few higher ups in Beautiful Robes Faction were privy to.
Among the information they gathered, they had also learned about the branches Class One Hall had built.
Ever since Five Venoms was destroyed and Fallen Feathers Sect had been forced to retreat from the scramble for power after being heavily damaged, the development of some of their subordinate sects were not so good. A month ago, Class One Hall had began to gradually spread out their branches. They set up the framework for fourteen branches within a short period of time all around the game.
Those branches not only served as a place to rest their bodies and provided them with various benefits, they also served the main function of helping Class One Hall occupy resources.
