More than five thousand cavaliers traveled about the plains. Very soon, they approached the area that was three miles away from the Mongolian camp, as stated on the map.
From the distance, they can see squads of patrolling cavaliers standing tall and looking over in their direction with great tenseness. Behind them, faint clouds of dust left into the distance. It was clear that their comrades had gone over to make a report.
"That's the Mongolian camp up ahead." Silver Wolf held a map in his hands and stared into the distance with a stern expression."Based on the map, the place where the logistics camp stores their supplies should be about six miles away from the back of the back. There should be around ten thousand cavaliers defending them.
Red Dust cast a glance at the Mongolian army's scouts on the slopes in the distance and frowned."If we go over like this, the Mongolian camp will immediately react to the situation. They will send a large army to intercept us, and they will even mobilize a large group of soldiers to provide reinforcements and protect the supplies.
"We only have this bit of people, it won't be enough for us to even serve as their snacks."
His tone was slightly tense.
Even though this was not the first they drew close to the Mongolian camp, but this time, they had too few people with them, and he could not help but feel diffident.
If the Mongolian camp sent more than ten thousand cavaliers just like yesterday, how were their five thousand cavaliers supposed to be able to block their charge?
Happy did not appear to be nervous at all. He asked with a calm tone, "Do you remember how we managed to fight yesterday?"
Red Dust was a little stunned, but he nodded."Of course."
Happy then said without turning his head around, "We have twenty thousand people yesterday, and plenty of us did not get any points. That means that they did not throw themselves into battle at all."
"We have twenty thousand people, but the enemy only had ten thousand people. When we distribute the number of enemy soldiers among us, it's normal that more than half of us did not get any points."
"That's not called normal. That's what I call having too much battle power." Happy's words attracted the attention of the four hundred people around him."We had more than ten thousand people who did not get any points yesterday. To us, that is already a great failure.
"With the strength of the four great sects, each elite will have no problem in killing eight to ten Mongolian cavaliers, but each of you have full sets of grade one masterpieces at the fourth echelon. Some of you even have demon vessels, and your body fortifications are practically all high-tier body fortifications above Mystical Realm.
"I have greater hopes for all of you!"
His words instantly made those four hundred people around him have their blood race, and their morale was high.
"Boss Happy is right! We have four hundred people here and five thousand cavaliers protecting us. Even if we truly lure the same number of enemies over as yesterday, when we distribute that number among us, each person will just need to kill around twenty cavaliers!" The person who spoke was from Chivalry Sect.
"The boss took tens of thousands of points alone yesterday. At the very least, we should get around thousands of points, don't you think?!"
"Haha! That's right! When we run behind the boss later, don't be sad! Because today, we can fight freely and get all the points we want!"
The people in the crowd spoke to each other, and in a moment, their morale and confidence was completely stirred up.
When they examined the situation, they found that what Happy said was true.
The intimidating force from the first charge from the ten thousand cavaliers was terrifying when they attacked from the distance, and it also posed as the greatest threat during that time, but once they descended into chaotic warfare, those Mongolian cavaliers will indeed be unable to harm them.
"Boss Happy, just tell us how you want us to fight, and we'll do it!" Red Dust had also completely cast away the thought of not having enough manpower and tightened his grip around his sword.
"That's right!"
"We'll fight!"
"AAAAHHHH!"
"Even when we distribute those points, one person can only get hundreds of points. Why don't we lure in a few batches of those cavaliers and fight to our hearts' content?!"
"YES!"
The group made a ruckus, and when Happy saw that the situation was gradually spiralling out of control, he can tell that if they continued to become fuller of themselves, they might have the thought of charging into the Mongolian main camp in a group, and he quickly raised his hand before he brought it down.
"Alright, enough with the racket. If we don't take action, perhaps the Mongolian camp will get the news that we're here and make preparations beforehand.
"Silver Wolf, lead a group of cavaliers and get ready to be the vanguards.
"Red Dust, lead a group of people and get ready to bother them from the side and intercept their formation in their charge.
"Others, just charge at full strength!"
"ALRIGHT!"
"What about you, Happy?"
"I have another quest to attend to." Happy quickly cast a glance to the cavaliers."Once war breaks out, I'll have to leave this side to you, Young Master Ling, Young Master Zhong."
When they heard Happy calling out those names, the group turned their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of Happy's gaze.
Just as they expected, two men dressed in the armor issued to cavaliers moved out of the battalion of cavaliers, who cleared out a path for them. Even though they were dressed in the armor issued for cavaliers, it was still difficult for the armor to hide their heroic presences.
Under the four hundred people's dumbfounded and stunned gazes, Kuo Zhong removed his heavy helmet, ruffled his hair, and said impatiently, "Mingling into the enemy camp while following a cavalier battalion? I can't believe you actually thought of something like this."
Xu Zhiling did not remove his helmet. He guided his horse out of the cavalier battalion and smiled wanly at Happy in resignation."Brother Happy, are you actually thinking about having the three of us burn the supplies during the day?"
"Attacking the logistics camp?"
"Burning the supplies?"
Silver Wolf, Red Dust, and the rest widened their eyes as they looked at each other speechless.
"Of course." Happy nodded without hesitation."I've thought about it. There are way too many reconnoiterers at night on the plains. There're sentries every three steps, and scouts every five steps. It's very difficult for us to sneak around and approach the logistics camp at that time, so it's better if we go over now. While the Mongolian camp's attention is on these people's attack, the patrolling cavaliers won't pay too much attention to us three."
Although it was a risky move, instead of having all five thousand cavaliers die at the enemy rear, it was better to have the three of them make the gamble.
Happy knew just how strong were Yangzhou's Twin Dragons. Even if elites at the level of Empress Yin and Evil King were lured over, it will be very easy for them to flee. Happy himself also had Shifting Stars, so he will have no problem in protecting himself.
Besides, over this period of time, he fought against Demon General, the Priest, Wan Wan, and sparred with Kuo Zhong. His Arhat Body had finally moved from Silver Light Arhat—the tenth realm—to Golden Body Arhat, which was the peak of Arhat Body. He obtained the profound secret of Golden Body Arhat as well.
Once he reached the eleventh realm for Arhat Body, his defense increased by one thousand points.
If he activated the profound secret for Golden Body Arhat, not only will he withstand a fatal blow from a Myth Realm enemy once, if he attacked his enemy at close distance, he will be able to completely rebound the attack back to the enemy.
With this move, even if he fought against Demon General, Happy can be slightly more confident that he can injure the latter.
Also, if things really did not work out, all three of them had the skill to fuse with the horse, and when they fled, no one can catch up to them.
Hence, if they did not act with Silver Wolf and the others, they will actually be able to move about at ease.
"Alright, since you have such heroic aspirations, Young Master Ling and I will risk my life to work with you. We will follow you!"
As expected of Kuo Zhong, a young marshal in the army. He had already gone through various dangerous situations with Xu Zhiling, and he was doing this sort of thing was as easy as breathing to him.
Once the duo agreed to it, Happy no longer hesitated. He nodded at Silver Wolf and Red Dust.
Both nodded at each other and quickly mobilized the cavaliers to head to different directions.
Rumble!
The cavaliers moved like a tidal wave on the plains, and dust flew behind them!
Just when a cavalier battalion launched a charge, Happy led Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling to quietly leave the team using the deafening hooves and the dust flying all over the sky as their cover.
