Chapter 846: Chapter 846 – Defend Tenaciously
Chapter 846: Defend Tenaciously
Xu Yao’s words caused Happy to be stunned .
He did not even know what Xu Yao said later on . Once he hung up, he scowled and slowly placed his phone on the table . He took a shallow breath before he put his hands away . While his emotions surged, he sank into deep thought .
Xu Xin sat across Happy . She, too, put down her chopsticks and stared at him curiously .
Happy had acted strangely ever since he received Xu Yao’s call . His expression was stern and serious, but he also seemed to be immersed in some sort of complicated memory of the past .
“What’s wrong?” Xu Xin asked tentatively .
“It’s nothing . ” Happy shook his head while his thoughts were still a mess .
Xu Yao’s actions made him puzzled .
This woman betrayed him in his previous life, and at this time in his current life, it was the perfect chance for her to strike a blow at him and help his enemies in attacking him . Did she have a guilty conscience, or did she have an even deeper plot hiding behind her?
Once he sucked in a sharp breath, Happy suddenly remembered that Silver Wolf had helped him obtain some information that he never knew about his previous life .
And they were regarding Xu Yao’s family .
There were certain things that he did indeed not know in his previous life, such as where her house was and what her family background was like .
Xu Yao had never mentioned it in his previous life, and there were certain holidays where she will never leave the university . She will practically spend it all in the game .
But based on Silver Wolf’s understanding, Xu Yao’s family lacked the ability to do any sort of labor and could not bring food to the table as well . Xu Yao could only continue with her studies by working part time and by relying on the support from certain kind-hearted people .
Happy naturally understood the situation of her studies, but when it came to work, since Happy had always been together with Xu Yao, he was familiar with her daily life over three years, and it was impossible for her to have the chance of searching for work outside . Hence, by work, it might possibly mean working for Blood Robes and Class One Hall .

If that were the case, what was going on with Xu Yao speaking up to remind him that most of the people in the game were in danger right now?
Even when he faced the hot food on the table, Happy suddenly found himself having no appetite to eat .
“Xin, eat first . I’ll go into the game to take a look . ”
Happy took a few bites, grabbed his phone, and with a somber expression, returned to his bedroom .
*****
“Go to the highest point to the east . If you find anyone getting close, immediately fire a signal flare as a warning .
“You, go to the west . Search for the highest point there . ”
When Happy returned to the game, night had already arrived, and Silver Wolf was arranging scouting tasks to various Mu Clan members .
While Happy moved over, he looked around .
There were a few torches scattered around the one-third of a mile from the camp . Those burning torches were spaced out and positioned in such a way that they coincidentally lit up the slopes of several high places, allowing the camp to see everything in the distance .
At the same time, a few squads dressed themselves in night-traveling clothes and entered deep into the plains in the distance .
It had to be said that Silver Wolf was much more experienced in this area compared to him .
Happy approved of this in his heart . At the very least, he will not be able to make such detailed arrangements in such a short amount of time, and definitely not, in succession, form two layers of sentry lines around the place where the army was stationed .
“Happy?” Silver Wolf noticed Happy from the crowd . He immediately gave a few more orders quickly and walked out of the crowd to him . “You’re back so soon?”
“I felt uneasy . ”
The simple conversation between them allowed the people around them to understand how urgent was their situation at hand .
Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance became vigilant .
If Silver Wolf were the only one making such arrangements, they would not think much about it . But now, Happy, who had logged off for only a few minutes, had returned to the game quickly, causing them to instantly sense a grave and tense atmosphere that was mixed with a faint hint of unease .

“Even though there are fifty thousand people who disappeared from Class One Hall, the plains is huge, and it’ll be very easy to discover . But based on my understanding toward Dream Clouds, when she has to face more than twenty thousand people, she will definitely mobilize more than three times the number of people to ensure success . It’ll be safe to estimate we’ll be facing an army of eighty thousand . ”
A brief silence fell among them .
Silver looked at the sky . “With Class One Hall’s strength, they won’t have a problem with mobilizing one hundred thousand or eighty thousand people . It’s a pity that the plains has been dark and the wind great over the past few nights . We can’t even see many stars either . Our vision is limited, and we’re exposed while they’re hidden . The situation is very bad for us . If divinations were effective now, it’ll be good . ”
Happy nodded quietly .
If they had a diviner on their side, they will definitely gain the absolute advantage .
In fact, they will not even need twenty thousand people to attack . Happy alone can scare away the Class One Hall members on the plains, but that was only if Dream Clouds did not want her own members to be chased around and killed .
“Right now, we can only defend our position . ”
Happy sighed, and he could not help but ask, “How many of our members are on the plains?”
“We have around three thousand members on our side, and we’ve already notified the others . They’ll try to log in as soon as possible . Along with the people from Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance, we’ll have around half of our army here . I’m guessing that we’ll have around twelve thousand members, but that’s still too few members . If we run into Class One Hall’s main force, we won’t be able to fight against them at all . ”
“Have you positioned the remaining cavaliers?” Happy’s tone changed .
Silver Wolf nodded . “The cavaliers are protected at the center . Once war breaks out, those with military titles will go up and fight first . There are people at the back who specialize in protecting these cavaliers’ safety . ”
“We can afford to lose the war, but we must make sure to protect those people . The longer we last, the greater the loss Class One Hall will have to suffer . ” A cold glare shone in Happy’s eyes .
“I’ll pay attention to that . ”
When Silver Wolf finished speaking, he noticed that Happy suddenly wore a human skin mask . He was immediately stunned, and he noticed that Happy was watching a girl in green who just returned to the game . She was someone from Mu Clan .
Right when Silver Wolf was prepared to say something, he noticed Happy turning around to cast a glance at Little North, who came over from the distance . He said, “I’ll let you be in charge of this place . I’m heading out for a bit .
“Little North, come with me . ”
“Boss?” Little North was stunned for a while before he managed to recognize Happy’s voice . He jogged over .
“When Knife and Thunder log in, have them scout the area ahead on the plains . Instead of waiting around passively for Class One Hall to attack us, it’s better for us to take the initiative a little . After all, it’s dark now . The Mongolian cavaliers won’t readily attack, so we might as well fight to our heart’s content against Class One Hall!”
“Got it . ” Silver nodded and agreed to it . Then, he watched Happy and Little North blend into the crowd before they headed into the darkness in the plains in the distance .
Right when they left, Xu Yao came over hastily while trailing behind Thunderous Battle .
“Silver Wolf, where’s Happy?” Thunderous Battle spoke up while he was far away . He seemed to be very tense . “I wonder which bastard leaked our location . Class One Hall might come causing . Tell everyone to log in as soon as possible . We can’t stay here for long . ”
When he heard this, Silver Wolf cast Xu Yao a quiet and discreet glance .
“He already knows . It’s fine . Nothing big will happen . ”
“I know that nothing big will happen, of course . But you saw just how many people we have on our side right now . If Class One Hall surrounds us—”
“Then we fight,” Silver Wolf replied indifferently .
“By the way, Miss Yao, since you’re here, please help me . Lead another team and protect those cavaliers . When Class One Hall arrives, their first goal will definitely be those cavaliers!”

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.

(DEMO) Colorless vol.1- Phantamoire Enigmata
This is a demo volume consisting only seven chapters. The sole reason of this publication is to show the world a glimpse of the project. Therefore, the final quality of the product will be lot more refined and polished. This demo might get deleted from RoyalRoad after the actual publication. Synopsis: "Knights wearing their shining armor serving righteous justice riding their glorious horses." We all have heard that story- Heroes who do the right in the purest way without any tampering. But, is it really that easy? Is the world and it's heroes really that pure? After all... fairytale is just a lie. I might be the first author in the world who despises writing. I haven't read any story books or novel in my entire life but children's story book (not even ten of them). So, why do I write? Simple answer- the story. Inexperienced I may be but I believe my project and it's quality. The actual story will be posted somewhere in 2019. The story will be devided into 7/8 volumes and 90 (approx.) chapters. I have been working on this project for 1 year now. It took me 5 months to finalize the concept and plot, 7 months for the story and it's already been 6 months in writing along with 2 times of total revamp.
