Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely Chapter 1740 - 552: Chu Tianming’s Strategies for Breaking the Deadlock, Vertical and Horizontal Alliances_3

Everyone trembled suddenly upon hearing these words.

It seemed as if some epiphany unlocked in their minds, their eyes shining ever more brightly, and they gazed at Xia Chuan with immense reverence.

Xia Chuan never missed any opportunity to establish Xia Hong’s prestige. Seeing everyone’s gaze, he immediately said, "Don’t look at me like that; it’s what the Lord said. Keep these words firmly in your mind; they will be useful sooner or later!"

"Enlightening! The Lord is truly a Heavenly Person. If our Great Xia can follow this principle in its dealings with foreign fiefs, not just the Southern Slope Territory, but even the entire Moao River will be ours!"

Among the generals present, Mu Longhe probably felt the most deeply, as Chui Mountain had previously perished slowly in the crevice of the Nine Towns. Reflecting now, if Duan Hong had acted according to Xia Chuan’s words, Chui Mountain wouldn’t have fallen so quickly.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, continually repeating Xia Chuan’s words in their minds, secretly resolving to strictly adhere to this principle in future dealings with foreign fiefs.

"All right, that’s enough; it’s time to leave!"

Xia Chuan didn’t say much more. Since it was already daylight and he’d agreed to withdraw, he wouldn’t linger.

Although Chu Tianming’s words sounded nice, if he truly had the chance to strike at Great Xia, he probably wouldn’t hesitate. The Chen Cang army of a hundred thousand is formidable enough to crush the Xia Army of a hundred forty thousand on paper, not to mention the mysterious and unpredictable deceit techniques of Chen Cang.

Chu Tianming was ultimately deterred from attacking Cai Qiu because he was intimidated by Great Xia’s fourteen Beast Emperor-level puppets.

Others might not understand, but Xia Chuan knew clearly.

The fourteen Beast Emperor-level puppets have a usage restriction — they must be within the illumination range of the Holy Tripod.

Only he and Li Xuanling from the entire Great Xia knew about this matter.

Chen Cang and Cai Qiu had just recently come into contact with Great Xia, and in a short time, they certainly couldn’t see through this point, so for now, the situation wasn’t too concerning.

"It’s enough to bluff Chen Cang; next, we just need to wait for elder brother to defeat Cai Qiu’s forces. The backup plans in Evergreen Valley should also be in motion. Cai Qiu will suffer a major defeat this time, and should be more compliant in the future!"

Xia Chuan watched as all the generals in the hall left, contemplatively uttered a sentence in his heart, then got up and walked outside the hall, preparing to withdraw with the army.

However, as soon as he stepped outside, a figure swiftly approached the main building from the southeast sky.

"It’s me, no need to be alarmed!"

The generals who had just walked out of the hall immediately became vigilant, intending to fly up and stop the newcomer. But before they could take to the air, the person spoke.

"It’s Xu Ning!"

"Returned from Jinyang, could it be good news?"

"Seeing his expression, it must be good news!"

..........

Seeing Xu Ning indeed wearing a smile, Xia Chuan felt much more at ease.

Last night, after discussing matters with Fang Tianqing, he immediately sent Xu Ning to Jinyang to report to his elder brother Xia Hong. Xu Ning returned so quickly and with a smile, so it must be good news.

"Minister, just now, Cai Qiu’s army of two hundred thousand arrived, and Cai Qianshan personally broke through the exit of Bone-Eroding Path, expanding it by a full three times. Despite all the masters of Cai Qiu’s fief striking out together, they couldn’t break through. The Lord displayed great prowess, consecutively slaying over twenty masters of Cai Qiu, including even one at the Tribulation Body Realm. When the Lord sent me to report, Cai Qiu’s army had already started retreating!"

As expected, Bone-Eroding Path, the Xia Army won.

And it was a big victory!

"Hahahahaha, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful..."

Xia Chuan laughed heartily, saying the word "wonderful" three times in a row.

Below, all the generals with Yue Feng were also extremely elated.
