Chapter 850: Extinguish the Torches, Fight at Night

Boom! BOOM!

The tens of thousands of people from Class One Hall moved like a great wave . They generated an orderly qi flow that appeared after they activated their qi realms, and it went suppressing the twenty thousand men from the four great sects .

At that moment, Class One Hall had completely occupied three great advantages . The climate was in their favor, they had geographical advantage, and their own army supported this movement greatly!

They had the darkness hiding them . Their enemies were in the light, and they were in the dark, and they can take the initiative to attack .

Their enemies were fearful, and their army were filled with powerful people . They were also several times larger than their enemy army . Hence, their momentum was as great as a tidal wave!

If they clashed into each other and still could not win, it will make absolutely no sense .

However, just when they already treated the army of twenty thousand as targets they will absolutely be able to defeat, something unexpected happened .

Hiss! Hiss!

The hundreds of torches around the large army suddenly began extinguishing starting from the center .

In the beginning, this did not catch many people’s attention . After all, this was a large camp, and it was not strange or eye-catching that a few torches were suddenly extinguished .

But within just a few seconds, the torches in the camp across them started being extinguished from the center, and the other torches by their sides also started being extinguished rapidly .

In an instant, hundreds of torches in the large and bright camp were extinguished . One-third of the camp sank into darkness .

“This is…”

The Class One Hall members who led the charge were the ones who were affected by this sudden wave of darkness the most .

They were originally less than one-third of a mile away from the main camp, and they were about to be able to draw their bows to attack, but they did not expect that the people across them would be so smart as to extinguish the torches straightaway .

And this situation quickly spread to the entire camp .

Just like how a city would fall into darkness when it suddenly experienced a power failure, a large area swiftly became dark .

Even some of the torches situated further away were extinguished by those who had sharp eyes and deft hands, who shot them down so that the flames were extinguished when they fell to the plains .

It was as if a violent wind blew through the area .

In less than ten seconds, the large camp sank into darkness, and silence fell in the area .

To Class One Hall, it was as if they lost their light and their targets .

“What the heck is going on?!”

“Damn it, is Mu Clan prepared to fight in the dark against us?”

Even though they had an advantage in terms of numbers, when they faced this sudden change, the vanguards were still unable to help themselves but slow down .

The large group of enemies ahead of them suddenly vanished .

Without any visibility, if they continued charging forward blindly, they will lose their geographical advantage . After all, charging forward blindly will cause them huge losses!

Besides, when it came to war at night, they will be unable to tell whether the people beside them were friend or foe, and the situation was incredibly troublesome for them .

“Why are you daydreaming?! Continue with the charge! Those at the back, light up your torches!” Blood Robes shouted at the back of the group .

While he spoke, firelight swiftly rose from the crowd .

Ten, twenty, fifty…

Since they had decided to launch an ambush at night, there was no way Class One Hall did not make full preparation . Practically everyone had a torch in their hands .

And now, dense waves of people were gathered around the firelight . They were all people from Class One Hall .

The hundreds of torches swiftly made it seem as if they were about to set the plains ablaze . It illuminated the Class One Hall members around the area, and it also made Class One Hall’s imposing aura reach its peak in an instant!

“Kill them!”

“Charge!”

With the illumination from the firelight, not only could the people across Class One Hall see the situation at their side, it also allowed the Class One Hall members to know just how many people their higher ups mobilized to this place . When they saw that there was a large, black mass of people behind them, and that the group was so large that the end could not be seen, the imposing aura around them instantly became even greater .

“We’ll destroy those bastards from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect!”

“Kill them!”

Their morale increased to the peak!

Their voices shook the skies!

The grass all over the plains swayed under the firelight that numbered to more than one thousand .

The crackling firelight swiftly positioned themselves into streams of firelight while the people carrying the torches charged forward, and if anyone looked down from the sky, it will seem as if the entire plains had begun moving .

Those with keen eyesight might be able to notice that the tens of thousands of people were surrounding the enemy camp from three directions in the form of a giant pocket . With a momentum that could devour everything whole, they went to envelope the darkness at the center .

Right now, the only thing that displeased Class One Hall was that the area lit up by the torches was very limited . It will only light up the area around ninety-eight feet from the torch, and they could not see the area 164 feet ahead of them .

Hence, even though the light on their side shone brightly and they had a fierce momentum with them, they still could not see their enemies after they sank into darkness .

But based on how quiet the area ahead of them was and how there was not a single footstep or the sound of air being pushed, they could somewhat guess that the other side might have already made their preparations for defense and were ready for war . They will not dare to take even half a step away from the place .

But now, half a minute passed .

Class One Hall had already pushed more than one-third of a mile forward .

Even so, there were no signs of the enemy at all .

Even though the momentum of the tens of thousands remained, there were quite a few who noticed that there was something off about the situation .

Based on what they saw previously, the spot where the army of twenty thousand were should be the spot where they were currently standing .

A large number of people, including blood Robes stopped moving and looked around .

Blood Robes was surrounded by Class One Hall elites . He stopped with a frown, and his eyes shone with puzzlement .

“That’s impossible . There’s no way there’s no movements whatsoever when so many people leave . ”

He looked ahead and saw that the bright firelight and swarm of people were still pushing forward .

Class One Hall had decided to surround the area from three directions, so there was no way Mu Clan can vanish from their sight without a sound .

At that moment, thunderous gallops suddenly rose from the distance .

Firelight appeared in the direction of the horizon far away . It seemed like a large cavalier unit was heading to the place .

“Vice Hall Master Blood, what should we do now? Do we continue moving forward or stay here?” The person beside him asked in a tense manner .

After all, there were still a lot of people from the four sects who had not returned after they logged off . If they wanted to completely destroy this group of people, they cannot give up on this camp rashly .

This was something that Blood Robes understood more than anyone else .

Blood Robes gritted his teeth and gave his order, “Have one group of people remain and keep an eye on this place . The others, continue chasing after them!”

*****

The rumbling hooves and the sound of the ground trembling gradually grew clearer . In fact, it drowned out the sound of air being pushed forward when the one hundred thousand people chased after Silver Wolf’s army .

Class One Hall’s people naturally thought that the people from the four sects had decided to head to the direction of the enemy camp after they extinguished the torches .

“After them!”

“We can’t let those from Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect escape!”

“Continue chasing after them!”

If Class One Hall surrounded the area from three directions, Mu Clan’s people can only escape in one direction—the direction where the hundreds of firelight quickly became clearer .

As time passed, Class One Hall finally noticed that those were not Mu Clan’s cavaliers… but Mongolian cavaliers!

What caught them even more by surprise was that as the firelight got nearer, they could clearly see the area ahead of them . There was no sign of a large group of people in front of them, but only one horse that ran ahead alone in front of the Mongolian cavaliers while it swiftly rushed to their side .

The twenty thousand people from the four sects had vanished without a trace .

If Blood Robes were in front of his army right now, he might be able to notice that the situation was bad and come up with an appropriate method to settle this problem .

Unfortunately, he had been held back at the camp for a while, and right then, he did not catch up to the group that charged forward . When Class One Hall saw more than three thousand Mongolian cavaliers rushing over, they were completely unbothered by them .

Since they had already lost the traces of the four sects, the one hundred thousand people already knew that it was now impossible for them to break free from the Mongolian cavaliers charging to them . Hence, they decided to get rid of these cavaliers first before they did anything else .

If the four sects can destroy around ten thousand Mongolian cavaliers with just twenty thousand people, there was no way Class One Hall will be afraid of only thousands of cavaliers when they had one hundred thousand people on their side .

“Kill them!”

Loud cries for murder spread through the plains .
