Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely Chapter 1655 - 522: Public Execution, Wuchuan’s Last Stand (Part 2)

"Subordinate obeys!"

Upon hearing Xia Hong’s unemotional words, everyone’s spine felt slightly chilled.

However, Xia Chuan, who had spoken up, showed no change in expression, directly bowed and replied, then turned and instructed, "Hou Tong, Meng Yi, and Mu Qinghe, you three take care of this. Anyone related to the Yang Family must be rooted out, one by one. If there are any more issues caused by the Yang Family, I will hold you three accountable."

"Subordinates obey!"

The three who were named, Hou Tong, Meng Yi, and Mu Qinghe, immediately stood and bowed in response. Hearing Xia Chuan’s last words made them realize this task was not an easy one, and their expressions immediately became much more solemn.

As the three left, the affairs of Beishuo City were finally considered concluded.

"When I’m not here, you dare to instigate such a large battle. It seems the strength of Great Xia is indeed no longer what it used to be. While there’s time, give me the details!"

Although Xia Hong said this with a smile, everyone present could still discern the underlying criticism in his words, and instinctively glanced at Li Xuanling standing next to him.

Li Xuanling clearly also understood her husband’s implication. Though a slight dissatisfaction appeared on her face, in this setting, she certainly wouldn’t say anything.

Xia Chuan’s expression didn’t change much, he simply pondered briefly and then responded directly: "Cold Resistance Level over 278,000, Xianyang Level 49."

Upon hearing this, Xia Hong’s pupils slightly trembled, and an uncontrollable joy appeared on his face. Before returning to the Southern Slope Territory, he had already discussed this with Jiang Xinfan, so he had a general sense of the camp’s strength growth.

But such terrifying growth still far exceeded his expectations.

Jiang Xinfan went to Chen Cang this March. According to what he said, by March, Great Xia had added a total of 19 Xianyang Level, and the total number of Cold Resistance Level was about over 170,000.

This means that in the past nine months, Great Xia had added a full 24 Xianyang Level, while Jiang Xinfan, not being Xia Chuan and unaware of the entire camp’s situation, made Xia Hong consider that the number of 170,000 was bound to have some error, but the actual number quickly reaching 280,000 was completely unexpected.

This error was indeed too great!

"No wonder you dared to launch this large-scale battle..."

Xia Hong sighed slightly, then calmed his excitement after thinking for a moment: "Since Beishuo has been taken, East River City can start deploying defenses. Chu Tianxu lost face on my account, so there will definitely be follow-up actions. The miasma in the Jiuqu Blood Corridor has already contracted, be wary of Chen Cang raising an army to the south..."

Xia Chuan and others knew about the Jiuqu Blood Corridor and the blood-colored miasma that filled the corridor, but they were not aware of the miasma’s contraction.

Xia Hong went to great lengths to elaborate on the miasma in the Blood Corridor and the deceitful monster forces at Blood Miasma Plain, including the Black Wind General of the Bone-Eroding Path, to give everyone an early warning.

At first, everyone was listening in a fog, but as Xia Hong explained in more detail, they gradually understood everything.

"The deceitful monster deliberately contracted it to give Chen Cang and Cai Qiu a path, intending to make us three fight amongst ourselves. This suggests that the deceitful monster at Blood Miasma Plain is in a crucial stage of revival..."

Xia Chuan, being in a high position for many years, naturally had a remarkable ability to comprehend and, after listening to Xia Hong, he immediately reached the same conclusion as before.

Xia Hong nodded, saying, "The deceitful monster at Blood Miasma Plain is a bit impatient. With such a small trick, Chen Cang and Cai Qiu are unlikely to be unaware. Now it depends on whether these two feudal towns are willing to step into the trap set by the deceitful monster..."

As he spoke to the end, Xia Hong’s brow slightly furrowed.

It’s impossible that there are fewer smart people in the feudal towns than in Great Xia. Seeing the miasma contraction, someone would surely recognize it as a trap set by the deceitful monster. The issue is, if Chen Cang and Cai Qiu perceive Great Xia as a greater threat than the deceitful monster in Blood Miasma Plain, they would choose to raise an army to the south even if they knew it was a trap.

From Xia Hong’s perspective, the deceitful monster at Blood Miasma Plain, who can even alter the flow of time, is undoubtedly a greater threat than Great Xia. However, how Chu Longteng and Cai Qianshan see it is something he doesn’t know.

"The 50,000 troops in Beishuo City suffered minimal casualties. Leave 10,000 here under the town chief, send 20,000 prisoners of war back to East River City, and after the remaining 20,000 elite Numbered Army units have been reorganized, launch an attack directly on Wuchuan Town!"

Hearing Xia Hong’s order, Xia Chuan immediately realized that his elder brother had a thorough grasp of the current battle situation.

Wuchuan has a total of 60,000 troops. Qin Feng previously believed that Great Xia intended to take the East Valley Camp and open up the supply line, so he stationed 50,000 heavy troops in East Valley. At the moment, they are facing off with Luo Yuan’s central army.

Luo Yuan’s central army originally had only 30,000 troops, but Yuwen Dao transferred 10,000 troops from Xiang Fuhai Division on his right flank to him, making it a total of 40,000 soldiers. They were originally stationed at the Fushan Camp in Muyin Town. Last night, when the battle began at Baimu City, Luo Yuan, worried about any movements from Wuchuan Town, had already marched north, positioning his troops outside the East Valley Camp.

If 20,000 elite troops of the Xia Army charge directly at Wuchuan Town, should Qin Feng save them or not?

After clearing his thoughts, Xia Chuan’s pupils slightly trembled as he said: "Lord, time is of the essence. The news of us taking Beishuo Town will definitely reach Qin Feng via Cai Qiuhu, and if the 50,000 troops in East Valley start returning to town now, they will be much quicker than us. Shouldn’t I just..."

Before Xia Chuan could finish, Xia Hong waved his hand directly, shaking his head, "You are underestimating Luo Yuan too much. He is watching right there at the gates of East Valley Camp. If Qin Feng dares to lead 50,000 troops to abandon East Valley and return to town at this critical moment, that would be suicide. If he really is that foolish, it would save us a lot of trouble."
