Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 777: Chapter 310: The Leader Is Still the Best, The Consequences of Losing the Bet

”You should be very clear about the consequence of losing a gamble, right?”

”It’s nothing but death, just do it!”

Although Li Xuanling’s face was full of calm despair, Xia Hong still noticed that trace of unwillingness hidden deep in her eyes.

Reflecting on the struggle for dominance in Longyou that started in mid-April and ended at this moment, lasting nearly three months, Xia Hong could basically guess what was on Li Xuanling’s mind, what she was unwilling about, eight or nine out of ten.

”Are you very dissatisfied?”

The three thousand Longyou Army, nearly sixty at the Cold Resistance Level, plus fifteen thousand Earth-digging Realm, tens of thousands of people, were defeated by the Great Xia, which was inferior in every respect. If Li Xuanling could be satisfied, that would be strange.

Suddenly, Li Xuanling turned her head to look at Li Xuanyan on her left, speaking in a deep voice, ”In mid-April, if it weren’t for this fool’s indecision, causing Bai Qiucheng, Yu Bin, and Dong Zhong to escape, which led the three families to completely turn to Zhaoyang later, how would your Great Xia have the opportunity to meddle in Longyou?”

Li Xuanyan on the ground heard these words, his face immediately flushed with red, lowered his head and couldn’t say a word, apparently also admitting that Li Xuanling was right.

But Li Xuanling did not look at him, paused for a moment and continued, ”If it weren’t for Li Hu and Yang Zhong leaking information to you, with the power of Long Mountain and Zhaoyang, expelling Great Xia from Longyou would have been just a matter of time.”

Obviously, when Li Xuanling infiltrated the camp last night, she had already learned from others about the process of the camp’s fall, and also knew about Li Yang and the others’ betrayal.

”Two traitors, one from our clan, one from outside, it’s bad enough to have our own people turned against us. I gave that bunch of fools more than two months, not only failed to capture those two, but they even managed to blend into the new army.”

After the battle of Changbai Gully, I repeatedly told the camp to keep a close watch on the dozens of soldiers who escaped back to the camp. If they could have done as I said, where would Li Yang have had the opportunity to persuade Yucheng’s three families in the dungeon?”

Her face was full of hatred, her voice growing lower and angrier, ”Li Xuanping and Li Xuanqiu, those two fools, just a step away from Wushuang, couldn’t resist going back to Long Mountain, leading to the total annihilation of more than two thousand three hundred people...”

Li Xuanling’s words, both inside and out, were accusing the Li family’s children of being useless.

Clap...

Just as she finished speaking, a sound of knees hitting the ground suddenly came from the back of the hall. It turned out that Yuwen Dao, Hou Jing, Yue Feng, and others were escorting Li Xuanping and more than twenty others who had just stormed the first floor.

Li Xuanling turned to look at the Li family members behind her, and finally, with a low voice, voiced her greatest unwillingness in her heart:

”If it weren’t for this bunch of fools messing up, I would never have lost to you!”

”Pathetic!”

The sudden utterance of the word ’pathetic’ from Xia Hong left Li Xuanling stunned.

”Even now, you still don’t understand where you lost!”

Xia Hong raised his hand and pointed to Li Xuanyan beside him, smiling, ”As a leader, you are simply unqualified, at most only a little better than him.”

”What did you say?”

Hearing this, Li Xuanling’s eyebrows shot up, obviously both angered and incredulous at Xia Hong for comparing her to Li Xuanyan.

”Do you really think that last night I was able to lead an army to break through Long Mountain by relying on Li Hu, Yang Zhong, and the three thousand people they turned against?

Even if we exclude the three thousand turned against us, your camp still had at least twelve thousand Earth-digging Realm soldiers. Of the remaining one hundred and twenty thousand people, I roughly looked when I came in last night, and at least one-third were young strong at the Logging Realm, which is more than forty thousand people!

Counting the total, last night the camp had at least fifty-two thousand soldiers, not counting the rest of the population, far more than that;

And in my hands, apart from a force of over six hundred Cloud Dragon Army, there were only the seven thousand or so Earth-digging Realm patched together from Zhaoyang’s four families.

With at least seven times the number difference, if your tens of thousands of people at Long Mountain last night could be of one mind, even without that Iron Stake Wall, let alone the seven thousand or so patched army, even if I brought seven thousand Cloud Dragon Army, they wouldn’t have been able to break through!”

Xia Hong’s voice was ear-splitting, not only did Li Xuanling freeze, but also Li Xuanyan and Li Xuandu who had just awakened, as well as the Li family members including Yuwen Dao and other Cold Resistance level members of Great Xia, all stood dumbfounded.

The only one in the hall, the oldest Hou Jing, remained unchanged in expression, clearly not surprised by Xia Hong’s point.

Li Xuanling’s pupils trembled greatly, her expression suddenly turned painful.

She already realized it!

Putting aside other factors, just the fact that she, with three thousand Longyou Army and fifty-one Cold Resistance levels, couldn’t take down the Beehive guarded by only ten thousand Earth and Digging, was enough to prove Xia Hong’s words.

Tens of thousands of people, if truly united, how could they not hold off Xia Hong’s mere seven thousand-plus force?

”The Longshan Camp was already disunited, in a state of collapse, Li Hu and Yang Zhong were just two of its reflections, the downfall of the Li family wasn’t caused by them, nor by Great Xia, but by the overwhelming majority under your rule at Long Mountain!”

After Xia Hong pointed this out, he looked at Li Xuanling and continued to sneer, ”I didn’t expect to conquer Long Mountain this quickly either.

I said as a leader you’re just a little better than Li Xuanyan, and you still aren’t convinced?

That time at Gourd Valley, you abandoned other Earth-digging troops for the Longyou Army, leading to Li Hu and Yang Zhong’s rebellion, which then resulted in the disaster of the new army’s annihilation at Changbai Gully, I thought you might learn your lesson from that.

Who would’ve expected, last night at the Wushuang Tunnel entrance, for that group of Cold Resistance level soldiers, you would once again abandon over two thousand Longyou Army soldiers.
