Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 981: Chapter 358: The Rapidly Growing Army—Unmatched Among Beast King Level

The two people came over just in time to witness the fierce battle of the four forces with their own eyes. Rarely exposed to military affairs, they were naturally deeply shocked by the scene before them.

Remembering what Li Yuankun mentioned earlier on the way here, Yue Feng softly asked, ”You just said that this is already the fourth silver mine that the Lord has dealt with personally, right?”

Li Yuankun nodded and said, ”Not only is it the fourth, but among the five silver mines found in Long Mountain so far, this is the largest one. Director Mu personally led a team to survey it the year before, and conservatively estimated, it’s a medium-sized vein at least, or possibly even large.”

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng’s expression immediately turned a bit excited.

A reserve of less than 100,000 tons is a micro-sized; 100,000 to 500,000 tons is small; 500,000 to 3,000,000 tons is medium-sized; and large is 3,000,000 to 10,000,000 tons.

If it really is a large silver mine, Great Xia won’t lack silver for a long time, and with this silver mine located within the Long Mountain territory, the earnings of the Long Mountain station will likely rank first year after year, filling his heart with excitement as the Longshan Guardian.

”Because this is the largest silver mine, the Cold Beast Clan that occupies it is also the strongest, boasting a full four Beast King Level Thunder Kui, which is truly terrifying. If it weren’t for the Lord, relying on the army alone probably wouldn’t be enough.”

Hearing Li Yuankun’s gasp of admiration, Yue Feng’s expression slightly lifted, he nodded deeply, then looked up towards the west direction, his eyes full of fervor.

To the west, there is a snow peak about three to four hundred meters high.

Above the snow peak, there were five beams of strong light, one red and four gold, fiercely clashing.

Being too far away, Yue Feng couldn’t see very clearly, but from the trajectory of the five beams of strong light, it was evident that the four golden beams on the outskirts were attacking the red beam in the middle.

”I heard that on the ninth day of the ninth month, when the Lord completed his retreat, he single-handedly faced three Beast Kings in Mirror Valley, killing two and chasing off the third. When I heard about it, I already found it incredible. Judging by the current situation, that wasn’t even his full strength. Sir, how strong do you think the Lord really is now?”

Yue Feng’s expression was fervent, and Li Yuankun was not to be outdone.

Watching the red light not only growing more and more intense but also frequently pushing back the four golden lights, breaking through the encirclement, with two of the golden lights apparently beginning to flag, his face was full of admiration, his pupils full of fervor, no less than Yue Feng’s.

This clearly showed Xia Hong gaining the upper hand, naturally visible to Yue Feng, who took a slight breath and replied quietly, ”Unclear, but I can try to deduce a bit. Logging Realm corresponds to low-level Cold Beasts; Earth-digging Realm to intermediate Cold Beasts; Cold Resistance Level to advanced Cold Beasts, so it seems, Beast King Level Cold Beasts correspond to our human Xianyang Level.

At corresponding levels, humans must team up to face Cold Beasts, which is almost customary, allowing the deduction that a normal Xianyang Level breakthrough would be weaker than a Beast King Level Cold Beast.

Like the Lord who breaks through to Xianyang Level and can easily overpower them, and also can fight against numbers, is definitely few and far between, perhaps there aren’t any at all.

Based on this deduction, even being also Xianyang Level, the Lord’s strength is much greater than others, possibly even several times or dozens of times stronger...”

Yue Feng paused slightly here and finally said solemnly, ”I think the Lord of Nine Towns is probably not even a match for the Lord!”

Speaking of which, Yue Feng made a rather hasty conclusion, considering he had never even encountered the Nine Towns, let alone the Lord of Nine Towns, it was a judgment based solely on his instincts, without any factual evidence.

”Certainly not!”

However, Li Yuankun did not oppose at all upon hearing it, indeed nodded vigorously, giving an even more affirmative answer than him.

Yue Feng smiled upon hearing this, not saying anything more.

”All troops, hear my command, release the arrows!”

Suddenly, a female voice came from the battlefield below, interrupting the conversation between Yue Feng and Li Yuankai.

”It’s Madam’s voice.”

”It’s from the west side!”

Yue Feng immediately recognized the voice as belonging to Madam Li Xuanling, and looked towards the west side along with Li Yuankun, their expressions suddenly shaken.

The Thunder Kui Clan forced into a dead end by the four forces, unsurprisingly, finally chose to escape to the west side, towards that peak.

However, as soon as they turned their heads facing west, having run barely two to three hundred meters, a sudden shower of silver arrows flew out from the snow forest ahead of the mountain.

This wave of arrows, unlike anything the two of them had seen before, the silver light brought by thousands of arrows directly lit up the snowy night, almost forming a silver screen, pouring entirely onto the first wave of Thunder Kui at the forefront.

Moreover, over half of the arrows penetrated directly through their bodies, firmly embedded into the second wave of Thunder Kui behind them.

”Silver-made Bone-piercing Arrows, it’s the Cloud Dragon Army and Dragon Martial Army!”

Seeing the power of the arrow rain, Li Yuankun immediately identified it as the Bone-piercing Arrows forged by the Craftsmen Department using silver.

As Great Xia’s resources became more abundant, the specifications of the arrows were also divided into many categories.

The ordinary Ten Forged Iron Arrow is generally used by ordinary Earth-digging Realm, enough for hunting low-level Cold Beasts; the Earth-digging Realm Limit uses Hundred Forged Iron Arrows, if hunting Cold Beasts with stronger defenses, it requires Thousand Forged Iron Arrows; as for Cold Resistance Level, it requires at least Thousand Forged Iron Arrows, if teaming up to hunt advanced Cold Beasts, Ten Thousand Forged Iron Arrows should also be prepared.

The Ten Thousand Forged Iron Arrow requires 500,000 jin of iron ore for each one forged, and the difficulty of forging is high, consuming massive manpower and resources, thus the Camp Supply Department reserves are limited, and unless there’s a special task, they’re generally not available for exchange.
