Once the trio from Kongtong Mountain Sect was killed, the people on the ship’s deck died or fled when Happy joined the fight. After cleaning up, he performed his previous trick and rushed off the ship to kill a few people on Common Reed Bank. Once he left behind nearly one hundred martial artists’ corpses, he sent them into chaos.

Most of the players from small towns were just in Blessed Realm. When they realized that it was not easy to kill the armed escorts, but very easy for them to die in the chaos and have their possessions stolen by despicable people, they began to think about retreating. They moved to the back and watched the fight from a distance.

The twenty or so armed escorts on the ship went to support the ships nearby!

With the help provided by Xu Hong who served as the garrison on the leading ship, most of the ships in the circle formation began to regain their calm.

Even though it sounded unbelievable, the fleet managed to protect itself with just hundreds of people despite facing the charge from more than ten thousand militia.

The militia which died seemed to have their right to join the fight canceled, so no reinforcements arrived.

Quite a few newbies from the towns came over to join the fun. They stood among the onlookers as bystanders who would cheer while waving flags.

There were also some elites who relied on their strength during the chaotic battle to kill and steal wantonly. They did not show any mercy to the players who had also received the same quest as them, so every person who boarded the ships felt insecure. They did not dare to come into close contact with the others. The lineup of more than ten thousand people was really like scattered sand. They could not bring out their advantage of numbers, which they should have.

As time passed, Happy caused even more people to be wary. They were no longer tempted by the rewards of killing the people on the ships!

Once the initial passion from receiving the quest faded away, there were not many who were willing to continue.

Instead, as Happy appeared more frequently and more people died on the ships, the twelve ships regained complete calm.

The people standing by the two sides of Common Reed Bank stared at the fleet that was badly damaged but still remained standing tall. The ships had shifted into their repeating crossbow formation, and the players who saw it could not help but sigh in amazement.

“As expected of the top ranked on Famous People Rank. He’s indeed powerful…”

“After this battle, there might not be anyone who can surpass Happy’s fame!”

“The quest hasn’t ended yet.”

The woman with the white veil looked into the distance with a slightly pleased look while standing far away from the ships.

Warriors dressed in exquisite armor had appeared at some unknown point in time. They surrounded a general who was tall, built, and covered in silver armor.

The general stared at the battlefield coldly while surrounded and protected by twenty-four armored warriors!

When he saw that the militia could not even kill the measly hundreds of people from the Murong Clan even though it had so many people on their side, the general in silver armor snorted in displeasure. “A bunch of misfits!”

“General, what should we do now? Why don’t we personally mobilize our forces…”

The general in silver armor looked away with a grave expression. “No! If we mobilize our forces, we will send those old men of the Murong Clan fleeing in fear. Right now, they still have the will to fight!”

“But these people’s combat abilities are too weak…”

“When there is great rewards offered, someone of courage will definitely appear!” The general in the silver armor smiled coldly. “Send my orders! Double the rewards! For each one of those old coots in Life and Death Realm killed, the killer will receive fifty thousand taels of silver!”

*****

“Ding!”

All the players who accepted the quest heard the system notification at Common Reed Bank.

“The imperial court’s navy has given their orders! Those who kill a normal armed escort on the ship fleet will receive six thousand taels of silver crumbs, and those who kill one Life and Death Realm elite will get fifty thousand taels of silver!”

Boom!

The countless players who had been watching the fight by the side instantly became restless.

Six thousand taels of silver was basically the same as 300RMB! If they killed more, they could earn more! Quite a number of people were tempted.

*****

However, when Common Reed Bank burst into commotion again, Xu Hong found Happy, who had sat down cross-legged to quickly restore his qi and stamina.

“Officer Happy! The situation has changed!”

“What is it?”

“An armed escort of ours put on a disguise and got down from the ship, where he obtained a piece of news from the militia!” Xu Hong’s gaze was complicated. “There’s good news and bad news.”

When he noticed that the atmosphere outside the fleet seemed to have changed, Happy quickly asked for more information. “Do tell.”

“The bad news is that the bastard Yang used the name of the imperial court to place a great bounty over our heads. Right now, our bounty has risen to six thousand taels of silver per head, and the seniors among us are worth fifty thousand taels of silver each…”

“What’s the good news?”

Happy did not care about the rewards. If there were no benefits, the people outside would have left a long time ago.

“The good news is that the announcement for the bounty has just been released. This means that the bastard Yang might be near us.” When he said that, a slightly ruthless look appeared on Xu Hong’s face. “As long as we kill him, we might be able to escape from this disaster.”

Happy said nothing, but when he heard Xu Hong’s final sentence, his eyes lit up, and delight appeared on his face.

‘As expected, every cloud has a silver lining! This is indeed good news!’

“Do you know where he is?” Happy asked.

Right when Xu Hong shook his head, an armed escort cried out loudly from above them. “Boss Xu! I found him! That bastard Yang is over there! He’s dressed in silver armor and has a longspear. There’s a group of guards around him. That’s definitely him!”

The information the armed escort provided on the mast lifted Happy’s spirit. He stood up resolutely and looked over from the railing. Soon, he noticed the silver-armored General Yang based on what the armed escort had said.

‘This is great! At least the system didn’t ask me to search for a person among an army of ten thousand!’

“We should not delay this matter! I’ll go and retrieve his head right now!”

Once Happy made his decision, he left the ship without hesitation.

Whoosh!

Under countless fearful and wary gazes, Happy landed on the common reeds. They swayed slightly, and he left behind an afterimage on the spot where he originally stood before he appeared dozens of feet away.

He used his Phantasm Body Movement Skill to its utmost, and in an instant, he appeared dozens of feet further away.

“He’s out!”

“So fast!”

“What is he doing?”

Many players watched Happy leave further and further away from Common Reed Bank. Their curiosity and wariness was soon replaced by restlessness and desire, however. They looked at each other and smiled, certain that their chance had arrived. Without another word, they quietly approached the ship.

But they had forgotten that even without Happy, the fleet’s defenses were still around. With just one round of bolts, quite a number of people were killed.

Right when more people were prepared to join the second wave of “fighting for kills so that they could get rewards”, an emergency system notification filled everyone’s ears.

“Protect General Yang! He is located at XXX, XXX. Protect General Yang and ensure that he is not killed. If you succeed in your quest, you will obtain the rewards for your kills. If General Yang dies, you will fail in your quest, and all your rewards will be nullified!”

The sudden system notification had stunned the people who were charging at the ships. They got rooted to the ground.

Then, they looked in the direction in which the system’s notification directed them!
