Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1063: Chapter 373: Muyin’s Dead End, Only We Can Help You, Green and Yellow Elixir Pills, Battle of Bashang (Part 6)

“It’s a pity only the bhikkhus are allowed near the central army tent, otherwise we could know how many masters have arrived!”

Xiang Liang turned his head to look at the core area of the army tents, his expression flickering incessantly.

The reason Dajue Temple had been able to advance with unstoppable momentum to Bashang City relied on the skills of those masters; three of whom he had witnessed personally: Yan Long Master’s Fire Melting Pills and Lengyan Divine Spell; Vajra Master’s Zen Gold Powder and Six Paths Vajra Mantra; and Hei Ming Master’s Cold Clearing Bead and Pure Water Divine Spell.

Hei Ming Master’s Pure Water Divine Spell was used during the attack on Binjiang Camp.

The Cold Clearing Bead was about the same size as the Fire Melting Pills with a similar usage method. After consumption and chanting the Pure Water Divine Spell with official bhikkhus, the soldiers from the Dajue Temple side went into battle seemingly immune to pain, achieving an extreme level of perversion.

In Xiang Liang’s observation, all three attacks on the Binjiang Camp in January by Dajue Temple did not yield satisfactory results.

Not to mention the Xianyang Level, in January the Three Towns of Jiangxia, Yangqu, and Dragon Valley combined had amassed ten thousand Defensive Army troops plus fifteen thousand Earth-digging Realm soldiers; whereas Dajue Temple had a total of fifteen thousand Earth-digging Realm soldiers and just over four thousand Zen Temple Bhikkhus. Even with the later addition of two hundred official bhikkhus, the overall power was still at quite a disadvantage compared to the Three Towns.

The primary issue for Dajue Temple was their inability to guarantee a victory during the day; both daytime battles ended in defeat, culminating in the last nighttime battle where Hei Ming Master hurried from Dajue Temple to use the Cold Clearing Bead and Pure Water Divine Spell. The army indeed displayed unimaginable combat power, with the three great masters continuously suppressing the four Xianyang Levels of Jiang Yinglong, Xiahou Zhang, Long Mingyuan, and Cao Qianyang from the Three Towns, but ultimately they still failed to break through Binjiang Camp.

“Fortunately, Dajue Temple’s divine spells can only be used one at a time. If they could stack them, forget about Jiangxia and Bashang, even if Nine Towns were combined, it would be difficult to fight them.”

Following the army for nearly half a year since last October, Xiang Liang naturally had gathered much understanding of those three divine spells.

What intrigued him most now were the effects of the spells from the remaining two masters who had yet to appear.

“The Fire Melting Pills, Zen Gold Powder, and Cold Clearing Beads were all sent back to Xia City by spies. I wonder if the Craftsmen Department has figured out what materials they are made of. If Great Xia could use these three divine spells in the future, my achievements this time could be tremendous…”

Xiang Liang took a slight breath, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

He pinned his hopes on gaining merit through his year-long infiltration of Dajue Temple; earning Contribution Value or military merit was all about enhancing his own strength and status. So far, the covert mission for him and Bai Shanqiu seemed extremely fruitful.

“Just one last battle left. All eight towns are watching this place. Dajue Temple seems obsessed with destroying Bashang Town to the point of self-destruction; once this battle concludes, Old Bai and I should both be able to return to Xia City.”

Xiang Liang exhaled lightly and exchanged glances with Bai Shanqiu, both understanding each other instantly and sharing a subtle smile.

“Xiang Liang, Bai Shanqiu, come in, there’s something to announce!”

A sudden shout came from behind them, prompting the two men to turn around and find Wang Yu’an waving them over.

The two quickly exchanged glances, invigorated, and hurried towards the army tent.

Upon entering the tent, Xiang Liang and Bai Shanqiu’s pupils contracted abruptly.

For Wang Yu’an, who had entered before them, was currently distributing the contents of two cloth bags to everyone inside the tent.

One bag contained green pills, the other yellow ones.

The Fire Melting Pills were red, Zen Gold Powder was gold, and Cold Clearing Beads were blue.

The colors before them were unseen up to this point.

Both received two pills each, and as Xiang Liang squeezed them, he noted their texture was similar to the earlier three, his eyes gleaming with understanding.

“These are the methods of the last two masters; the battle is about to commence!”

Xiang Liang’s conjecture was quickly confirmed.

On the morning of the first day, the two pills were distributed.

Come nightfall, the army began moving.

“Army units, gather at the southern position, quickly, quickly, quickly!”

“Army units, gather at the southern position, quickly, quickly, quickly!”

“Army units, gather at the southern position, quickly, quickly, quickly!”

Three successive high calls resounded from within the tent, prompting Xiang Liang and Bai Shanqiu to leap up and hurry to urge everyone out of the tent.

Thanks to Wang Yuxiu’s reminder, Wang Yu’an treated the two quite well; never restraining them on the battlefield and even promoting them to camp managers, which explained their continued association with the Dajue Temple’s army over half a year.

Under their urgent urging, over a thousand people swiftly collected themselves and exited the tent in no time.

Buzz……

Upon leaving the tent, a wave of heat surged forward at once.

Xiang Liang and Bai Shanqiu raised their heads to see countless troops swiftly gathering southward, a slight chill running down their spines.

This was no special heatwave; having accompanied Dajue Temple in war for half a year, they knew it was simply the result of too many Earth-digging Realm soldiers, their blood fused together emitting this aura.

“The siege is beginning so soon?”

“The final two methods have been distributed; has everyone arrived?”

“I wonder how many of the Five Great Masters have come!”

The crowd grew exceedingly loud, and Xiang Liang and Bai Shanqiu, no longer fearing eavesdroppers, conversed in low tones while moving towards the southern gathering point.

The two swiftly arrived at the southern assembly area, eyeing the Bashang City Gate two kilometers away with slight solemnity.

The final battle was here!
