Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1515 - 475: Reunion and Bitter Regret, Gathering at the Mufu and Reproach

”Take off your masks!”

Jiang Xinfan turned his head to look at the thirteen newcomers and was the first to remove the mask from his face, then gestured for everyone to do the same.

The people below were stunned at first, but quickly, as Xia Hong next to Jiang Xinfan removed his mask, most people instantly showed excitement.

”Lord!”

”It is indeed the lord. I felt such a strong Holy Pattern Bloodline sensation in Hekou Village, only the lord could have it.”

”It’s the lord, we found the lord.”

......

Seeing Xia Hong’s true face, the thirteen people below became too excited, exclaiming repeatedly, and then they also removed their masks in unison, bowing deeply to Xia Hong with utmost respect:

”Greetings to the lord.”

”Greetings, master!”

”Greetings, sir.”

The thirteen people shouted out three different titles, causing everyone to be taken aback.

”Hahaha...”

Xia Hong chuckled, first casting his gaze towards the eight people in front, and spoke: ”Chen Hua, Kong Xiu, Luo Ming, Hong Yu, Meng Ao, Zhu Kang, Chen Yingba, Wu Ningyuan, I mustn’t have remembered wrong?”

The eight people from Great Xia who were lurking in Chen Cang, Xia Hong not only remembered all of them but even accurately called out each person’s name.

It’s not surprising because these eight people were not unfamiliar to him.

Chen Hua and Kong Xiu were considered old Hidden Guards of Great Xia. A few years ago, they had lurked in Muyin Town and made great contributions to Great Xia by alleviating its plight there. If Xia Hong remembered correctly, these two had both become heads of Hongmen Eight Departments, and yet willingly came to lurk in Chen Cang. Now both are at 42 manes in strength;

Luo Ming needs no introduction. During the time when Rogel, the old leader of Twin Dragon Valley, relinquished it, he had a strength of 49 manes; Chen Yingba is the younger brother of the former head of Beehive Plain, Chen Yingyuan, who was personally taught a lesson by Xia Hong, now having 52 manes; Wu Ningyuan was originally the third leader of Baiyuan Camp in Longyou, who surrendered to Great Xia during the Longyou battle, now holding a strength of 51 manes.

These five people are mostly in their forties or older, whether in terms of age or strength, they should be considered as the backbone of Great Xia;

The remaining three, Hong Yu, Meng Ao, and Zhu Kang, appear to be much younger, probably no more than thirty at most. Xia Hong remembered clearly, the fathers of these three were Hong Guang, Meng Yi, and Zhu Ling, who died in the defense of Beehive.

These three, in terms of generation, naturally belong to the second generation, but they are too old, there is a consensus within Great Xia that one is considered a second-generation offspring only if born after the first year of Great Xia, demarcated by Yue Yuan. These three clearly do not meet this criterion.

However, those who do not meet the criterion are not just them three; there is also a large batch including Luo An, Lu Dong, Zou Ping, Luo Cheng, Liu Peng, Hong Ye, Zhao Yuanwu, Zhao Yuanshan, Zhao Yuankang, and many others, all born before the first year, now aged between 20 to 30.

This age demographic is designated as the New Generation within Great Xia.

Currently, the most active in Great Xia and already beginning to emerge are indeed the New Generation, evident from the Martial Arts Competition of Nine Towns from several years ago, and notably among those in Chen Cang is Ji Hong, who is also a member of the New Generation.

Even though the strength of Hong Yu, Meng Ao, and Zhu Kang can’t compare to Ji Hong, they are still rather notable, with Zhu Kang being strongest at 35 manes, followed by Hong Yu at 33 manes, with Meng Ao relatively weakest at 32 manes.

Great Xia’s New Generation is not only increasingly powerful but is also able to carry out such dangerous covert operations, clearly demonstrating their growing role in the camp.

”Zhu Kang, you’ve already inherited Zhu Ling’s noble title, haven’t you?”

The lord remembers me!

The eight whom Xia Hong named were internally filled with excitement at this moment. Seeing that the lord even remembered Zhu Ling, Zhu Kang was deeply moved, expressing gratitude with a voice tinged with choking emotion: ”Thank you, lord, for keeping me in mind. Three years ago, I successfully inherited my father’s ninth-rank Xuanling Marquis title.”

”That’s good!”

Zhu Ling was counted as among the first batch of Cold Resistance Level to die for Great Xia, coupled with Zhu Kang’s uncle, Zhu Yuan, being the Director of the Civil Affairs Department, Xia Hong naturally had a deep impression of this family.

After looking at the eight from Great Xia, he shifted his gaze to the rear.

The latter five were four men and one woman, among them were the two protectors in charge of the uprising in Qingwu Village, Zhang Yuchuan and Liu Wang. As for the remaining young man and woman, they were none other than Su Jing and Su Xing’er.

Unlike the confusion on Zhang Yuchuan and the other three’s faces, Su Xing’er and Su Jing, the brother and sister duo, were unable to hold back tears as they looked at Xia Hong. Seeing Xia Hong’s gaze fall on them, they couldn’t help but step forward, falling to their knees.

”Master, Xing’er knew that you would be alright.”

The reason Xia Hong felt coincidental seeing the thirteen was exactly this; Su Xing’er and her brother had mingled with Ji Hong.

It was only then that he recalled Jiang Xinfan had previously said a lot, yet he never asked how Ji Hong knew about his disappearance in Blood Miasma Plain.

Ji Hong could deduce his identity through the name Heavenly List Hong Yu, and reach the conclusion of his presence in Moao River, but the incident of his disappearance in Blood Miasma Plain was only known to the high-ranking officials in Cai Qiu, and he was not an important figure to Cai Qiu, so those officials would surely not publicize it extensively.

Thus, most people in Chen Cang were surely unaware, making it even harder for Ji Hong to know.

Now seeing Su Xing’er and her brother, he instantly understood.

”Did you cross paths with Ji Hong during your trial in Blood Miasma Plain?”
