"Little North, when I lure away this group of cavaliers, immediately return to the camp. Have Silver Wolf tell everyone that they are to be ready to leave at any moment."
Happy's words caused Little North to be utterly confused when he had been prepared to fight to the death. He blinked and asked hesitantly, "Boss, didn't you call me here to get points with you?"
"... Could you cut it with the nonsense? What time do you think it is? Why would I have the mood to get points with you? Aren't we going to fight Class One Hall anymore?"
Happy rolled his eyes and kicked Little North away before he said, "I prepared these guys for Class One Hall."
"What?" Little North immediately started causing a ruckus. He could not accept this."Hey, boss! Even if we can't win against those Class One Hall bastards tonight, there's no reason for us to give them so many points! If there's really a need for it, we can just lead them around in circles on the plains until daybreak. Let's see how long they can last."
When he thought about how they will be handing over tens of thousands of points to Class One Hall, Little North felt so annoyed and disgusted that he was frustrated.
"Stop talking and go do what I said! There's a guy among the cavaliers that even I can't kill! Did you actually think that I'd be willing to give Class One Hall something so good? They won't be able to swallow this."
When he heard this, Little North's eyes lit up. He shuddered and quickly summoned his steed."Then, I'll be leaving first. Boss, you take care."
Before his voice even faded away, he had already dashed madly away. He will even occasionally take some time to look at the large cavalier battalion behind him, and there was a profound look in his eyes.
His boss mentioned that the enemy in the Mongolian army was not someone he cannot handle, but cannot kill, and Little North immediately knew that there was a great meaning behind it! Without another word, he whipped his horse and made it gallop forth so that he can go back and report the news.
While Happy watched Little North leave, he turned around slowly.
In the blink of an eye, the three groups of cavaliers were already 656 feet away from him. The light from their torches reached the sky, and they were about to surround him.
At that moment, Demon General Zhao Deyan finally spoke up."Hmph! You led your forces during the day to attack my camp, and I knew that you will definitely not give up but choose to continue scouting out the Mongolian camp. I've long since prepared an ambush waiting for you here! I'd like to see just how you will escape from my hands tonight!
"Attack him!"
When he gave his orders, thousands of cavaliers rushed to Happy with a thunderous rumble.
At the same time, the Mongolian cavaliers on the other two sides also sped up in their charge.
Happy could see some eye-catching presences among the three other groups.
Aside from Demon General Zhao Deyan, each cavalier battalion contained one evil cult with a fierce, cold, and emotionless gaze. Happy immediately furrowed his eyebrows.
'This Zhao Deyan sure mobilized a huge force for something so small!'
But this also verified his previous guess.
Just as he expected, the battle at the borders during the day was hosted by Hu Bilie, and the main ones who appeared were Mongolian cavaliers and various generals in their army, but when night arrived, the main characters turned into the evil cult. The evil cult elites who walked between light and darkness will be in control of everything, and even if the one who organized these attacks was not the Demon General in front of him, that someone will surely be someone whose rank was not that much higher from Demon General.
"I originally thought that you're a heroic person, Demon General, since you're a wandering martial artist as well. I didn't expect that you brought such a large group of people with you... Hmph! I won't be entertaining you tonight!"
"Do you think that you can still leave?"
Zhao Deyan's voice rose from among the crowd in a mighty and loud manner. Horse hooves thundered against the ground. The people from the sides had already went to Happy's retreat, and they were prepared to form an encirclement.
He summoned his steed and jumped on his horse.
Then, he activated the skill to become one with his horse.
"Giddy-up!"
The entire process was done in one go.
The man and horse traveled like an arrow fired from its bow. With an astonishing speed, he quickly widened the distance between him and the large group of Mongolian cavaliers who tried to close the distance between them.
Thud thud! Thud thud!
His horse moved like the wind. The man and horse quickly broke out of the partial encirclement from the center before the Mongolian cavaliers at his sides could complete their encirclement.
But the Mongolian cavaliers reacted very quickly.
While they got closer, they slowly adjusted the direction in which they chased after Happy and stuck close to him. Some of them brought out bows.
Whoosh! WHOOSH!
More than one hundred arrows chased after him like the rain.
Usually, Happy will naturally be very happy about this. He will think that these Mongolian cavaliers were giving him points, but now, since this group of people were prepared for Class One Hall, he will absolutely not use Shifting Stars to weaken the fighting power in these Mongolian cavalier battalion.
If Zhao Deyan saw that the Mongolian cavaliers were not a threat to him and redirected the forces back, then everything that happened tonight will be in vain.
But while he did activate Shifting Stars, he did not send those arrows back. Instead, he just affected the attack trajectory for the arrows and made them divert from their trajectory. All of them landed behind his Hoof Shadow or at its sides.
The fletchings shuddered madly while the arrows were stuck in the ground.
The galloping sounds were as loud as thunder.
The cavaliers chasing after him gradually gathered together successfully.
But Happy did not use his fastest speed to leave the place.
To make sure that the Mongolian cavaliers behind him did not lose their confidence, he only made sure that he was slightly away from the shooting range of the arrows. Then, he slowed down a little and made sure that the Mongolian cavaliers were in a constant state where they will be able to catch up to him if they just sped up a little bit. Happy was now absolutely in their attack area.
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of horse hooves could be heard nonstop. They gradually gathered together behind Happy to end up sounding like a flood, and it was deafening to the ears.
Happy rode ahead of them. Behind him was a large group of Mongolians crying out in their language, and he seemed as if he was in a perilous situation.
At that moment...
Bang!
A dazzling purple-red signal flare exploded above the plains, and it was so bright that it illuminated Happy's back to the point that it was the same color as the flares.
'... A signal flare?'
Once Happy turned his head around to take a look, he turned his gaze away, and he soon understood the meaning behind why the Mongolian cavaliers fired the signal flare.
He spread out his spiritual sense, and Happy suddenly noticed that there were a few reconnoiterers hidden in the ground ahead of him.
Based on their actions, they were already ready with their weapons and hidden weapons to appear and ambush him.
Torches and patrolling cavaliers also quickly appeared at the dark horizon in the distance.
This signal flare from the Mongolian cavaliers meant that everyone in the area was to encircle the enemy and stop them from moving anywhere else.
Once he understood Zhao Deyan's plan, Happy released a breath of relief. Right when his Hoof Shadow shot past the place where the three reconnoiterers laid in ambush, before he waited for the earth to be turned over, a dazzling white sword force shot through their disguise on the ground and violently tore open their bodies.
A pool of red blood sprayed all over the false patch of grass that looked very real.
Clang!
When he finished doing all this, Happy sheathed his Noble Sword without changing his expression in the slightest. He charged forward nonstop.
Thousands of horses charged over the ground, and they did not bother any of the other reconnoiterers in their wake.
Patrolling cavaliers came charging toward Happy from the distance.
The two charging forces faced each other, and the distance between both forces rapidly shortened.
At the moment he entered the attack range for long-range weapons, dozens of hatchets came charging at him. Among them, two of the hatchets cut diabolically into Happy's steed.
If Happy lost his steed, Happy had to rely on his legs, and it was impossible for him to escape from the thousands of cavaliers under him.
"Get lost!"
Shifting Star immediately caused the hatchets to divert from their trajectory, and they landed on the ground.
Happy and his horse charged out at lightning speed! The patrolling cavaliers were pushed off their horses simultaneously like fallen leaves.
