Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1024: Chapter 367: Evasion and Surprise Attack, Jiangxia’s Total Victory, Secret Letter, Counterattack_2

”May I ask Dean Gu, how many Earth-digging Realm are there in Dajue Temple?”

Lu Yang, at this moment, couldn’t care less about being noticed and directly asked.

Three thousand Cold Resistance Level, facing five thousand unarmored Zen Temple Bhikkhu, indeed have chances of victory, but that’s without considering the Earth-digging Realm.

If the number of Earth-digging Realm is large, it can completely change the tide of the battle.

With Lu Yang’s question, everyone instantly reacted, looking at Gu Tianxiong, waiting for his response.

”Noisy, all of you shut up. You’ll naturally know the situation when you’re on the battlefield. Asking more now is pointless. If you’re unwilling to stay here, then go back to Beishuo now.”

Unfortunately, before Gu Tianxiong could speak, Huang Tianxing beside him directly rebuked Lu Yang and the circle of Cold Resistance Level around him.

Everyone was reprimanded by Huang Tianxing, and instantly lowered their heads.

The responsibility of the Vice Institute Chief is inherently to oversee the seven districts within Beishuo. The Cold Resistance Level who came this time are all from village-level camps within the districts. Naturally, they are intimidated by Huang Tianxing and dare not talk back.

As for returning to Beishuo, that’s even more daunting.

Supporting Jiangxia is Zhenyu, which means orders personally issued by the Town Chief and Lord. Defying them carries severe consequences.

The first to be directly rebuked by Huang Tianxing, Lu Yang, also lowered his head, displaying an extremely fearful demeanor.

”Humph!”

Seeing everyone conceding, Huang Tianxing snorted coldly before walking towards Jiang Yuanlong.

Gu Tianxiong looked at the bowed heads of everyone, slightly furrowed his brow, and quickly followed Huang Tianxing, whispering, ”Sir, supporting Jiangxia, Town did not offer any benefits, these people can’t help but feel uncomfortable. With the battle imminent, why bother being angry with them?”

”A bunch of ignorant country bumpkins who fear death, their minds are only filled with such trivial matters. I’m already weary from dealing with Jiang Yuanlong all day, where do I have the patience to handle them? Humph!”

.........

”Brother Lu, get up, the Town’s approach is becoming more oppressive.”

”What’s the attitude? We didn’t gain anything from the Town, yet foolishly accepted Zhenyu, rushed over eight hundred kilometers, and now at the eve of battle, we can’t even inquire about the military situation. Humph!”

”I see not just Jiangxia Town, but those above the Town, don’t value our lives. I certainly won’t die foolishly here.”

”Say no more!”

After Chen Yiqing helped Lu Yang up and heard the words from those around him, his eyes flickered but he didn’t respond, just withdrew to the East Ridge team.

”Stop thinking about it, whatever Jiang Yuanlong does will result in defeat. Pass my words down, let the brothers protect their lives when they go into battle later!”

Wang Tao, Zhu Shun, and Lin Fan immediately nodded and passed the words down.

The gathering of eighteen thousand Earth-digging Realm alone took an hour, Jiang Yuanlong discussing with the commanders of seven towns, then gathering all Cold Resistance Level at the western gate, took another half an hour. This calculation leaves only one and a half hours until dawn.

”Follow me, let’s go!”

Jiang Yuanlong also knew the urgency of time, with all the Cold Resistance Levels in place, he didn’t waste any more words, leading everyone to swiftly head towards Hongguan.

With all three thousand Cold Resistance Level cultivation, the speed was obviously fast, passing Hongguan Pass into the North Bank of Heng River, they sped west along the way, traveling about ten kilometers, quickly reaching a narrow Snow Forest area on the North Shore.

Calling it a Snow Forest is actually a bit exaggerated. The area here is extremely narrow, no more than three kilometers from north to south, visually only two to three hundred trees of not very good growth.

”Stop marching, wait in place!”

Jiang Yuanlong waved his hand to halt the army, looking thoughtfully at the Snow Forest.

Suddenly, a figure dashed from the west, directly arriving in front of Jiang Yuanlong, bowing with clasped hands, ”Reporting to the Army Chief, eighty thousand from Dajue Temple have reached eight kilometers east of Dragon River, only two kilometers remain to this place. Their vanguard just stopped, waiting for the rear army, should be spies discovering us.”

Three thousand people were still arrayed by town units, naturally with Jiangxia at the forefront, followed by the Northern Three Towns, and lastly, the remaining four towns.

Lu Yang’s position was fairly forward, so he could hear the scout’s voice.

Eighty thousand Earth-digging Realm!

Upon hearing the enemy numbers, not just Lu Yang, many people’s pupils slightly contracted.

Dajue Temple not only converted all the Earth-digging Realm from Two of Villages of Jinbi Dragon River, but even recruited some from Qinghepu, assembling a full eighty thousand.

”Only less than two kilometers left, everyone, follow our Army Chief to attack!”

Jiang Yuanlong, after listening to the scout, only pondered for a moment before directly raising his sword and issuing orders to the people behind.

He and the commanders of seven towns had evidently reached some agreement, and with his order, no one raised any objection, Huang Tianxing and others signaled their people to follow without hesitation.

As usual, Jiangxia’s eight hundred heads the charge, followed by two thousand one hundred from the remaining seven towns, and over three thousand fully armed Cold Resistance Levels directly crossed the Snow Forest, swiftly heading towards the west side of the North Shore.

The further east on the North Bank of Heng River, the narrower it becomes from north to south, reaching only about four kilometers at Dragon River Village, and just under four kilometers in the area eight kilometers east of Dragon River Village.

In an area less than four kilometers, it’s impossible for eighty thousand to fully deploy.

Dajue Temple wisely stopped the vanguard to wait for the rear army upon knowing there were enemies ahead. It’s a prudent move.

Jiang Yuanlong’s intent isn’t hard to discern either. He clearly wants to take advantage of the enemy’s incomplete formation before attacking them proactively. While a complete rout is unlikely, disrupting Dajue Temple’s normal marching rhythm and demoralizing the opposition is no problem.
