Chapter 813 - Night Falls, War Achievement Points Rank (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When night fell on the plains, the main Chinese camp had already been reorganized. The soldiers were on full alert, and most of the players who had been wandering outside to carry out quests had returned to the back of the army when the war drum was beaten as a signal for them to return.

“Everyone, you had a pretty good haul, right?”

Some people said nothing.

“I’ve been killing for an entire day, but I only obtained seventy points.”

“Darn it… At least you were able to get some points. I’ve only been serving as a nobody. I ran around the area outside the camp, but everywhere I go outside the camp, I was surrounded by disadvantages. There’s fights everywhere… I ran into a few of those who went astray from their squads after a lot of effort, but those were all lured by other sects. After a day, I didn’t even get a single point.”

“It’s already good that you didn’t die. Those Mongolian cavaliers are too strong. You don’t know the situation by our side. There were tens of thousands of people who followed the infantries to stop the Mongolian cavaliers, but in the end, we were sent into disarray by just a few thousand cavaliers. We couldn’t stop them at all, and a few hundreds of us died with just one arrow shower. Tsk… Fortunately, I saw that the situation was bad, and I avoided the carnage, otherwise, I would have died there, just like them.”

“Huh? How many of your people died?”

“We were doing the quest to intercept cavaliers, and at least five thousand people at our area died!”

“…What the heck.”

“Thank goodness I was smart and chose the Logistics Quest right from the start to protect the food and hay.”

“Same. I wandered about the camp for a long time before I went to the bow camp to fire some arrows. Over the day, I managed to get fifty points.”

Hundreds of players gathered together in a dense group at the back of the Chinese camp, and their group occupied an area that was several miles wide. They were like a huge beast that sat at the back of the Chinese camp.

However, this was a large, restless beast.

All sorts of discussion had been going on nonstop since night fell.

“This is the first day we’ve been carrying out our quests, and I heard that there are a few groups of Mongolian cavaliers who did not suffer much damage at all. Meanwhile, we lost quite a lot of our infantrymen and cavaliers.”

“Yes, we lost hundreds of our soldiers. There aren’t many who obtained points in an admirable manner on the battlefield either. Instead, those who feared death managed to get a few points at the army rear.”

“The world just doesn’t make sense!”

*****

“We had quite a lot of players die, and I heard that many of us left as well.”

“There’s no helping it. The Mongolian cavaliers are much stronger than the ones we ran into in the plains. As expected of an army constantly fighting at the borders, and as expected of Hu Bilie’s soldiers.”

“Fortunately, we won’t have our statuses fall when we die at the battlefield. It’s just that the points we gathered will fall to zero.”

“Of course, or else, I would have left with those people.”

*****

“Calculate the number of people who died today.”

“We should already know about the data regarding the Mongolian cavaliers. We’ll have to change our strategy tomorrow. When the Mongolian cavaliers gather together for a charge, we must absolutely not face them head on. Even if someone takes a gun and points it at your head, do not face them head on. When they split up into smaller squads, those with higher defense will seize the chance to send their formation into disarray. Kill their horses and eat them up one by one.”

“Tomorrow, we must rack up those points!”

A bleak, faint breeze blew through the grass on the plains during the night, and it also caused the loud and lively plains to quiet down slightly.

In a place very close to the main camp was Mu Clan, Class One Hall, and Chivalry Sect. The three top-class sects’ people gathered at the closest place to the eight logistics camps. They formed defense lines that formed circles as well as claimed areas as their own territories. They formed the shape of a pair of horns that flanked three directions of the logistics camp and surrounded the area.

The other sects did not dare get too close to them. Other players also circumnavigated them. They were sensible enough to not go over to harass these sects. Perhaps this was a form of acknowledgement and respect from the elites of the Chinese world of martial artists toward the three top-class sects.

At that moment, a group of elites with lavish equipment and varying presences gathered around the camp that announced the quests.

“Silver Wolf.”
