Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1637: Chapter 516: Encirclement and Disruption, Blood Miasma Plain Unrest and Siege (Part 2)

After a while, there’s now less than an hour until daybreak.

“At your command!”

Xia Chuan and the hundred or more commanders below, upon hearing Xia Hong’s final command, all bowed in unison and responded in chorus.

“Xu Ning, Lu Yang, Mu Longhe, Yue Feng, Liu Yuan, the five of you shall accompany me to Beishuo City, the rest shall each lead your troops, inventory the military supplies, and prepare for the siege!”

Xia Chuan did not waste words, he picked Xu Ning and the other four, and immediately flew up from the front of the military formation, heading towards the sky over Beishuo City.

“Cloud Dragon Army, prepare!”

“Mountain River Army, prepare.”

“Longyuan Army, prepare.”

“Falcon Hunting Army, prepare!”

“Yellow Armor Army, prepare.”

“Dragon Forbidden Captain, prepare!”

……

As Xia Chuan and the six others flew away, the remaining commanders also began to spread out to the front line of the formation, signaling their forces to prepare.

The roars of ten consecutive commanders resounded, and the troops, already fully prepared, had their energy and morale soar, instantly causing a vast surge of bloody heat in the air above the military formation, raising the temperature of the surrounding space significantly once again.

“Cloud Dragon Army, Dragon Forbidden Captain, plus eight numbered armies, totaling twenty-two thousand men, this is almost the strongest lineup that Great Xia can muster right now. The difficulty of the Ice Abyss attack should not be less than the previous times…”

Looking at the mighty formation of the Xia Army, Xia Hong couldn’t help but feel stirred inside.

The Cloud Dragon Army is currently one of the two eighth-level legions of the Xia Army, and the five thousand soldiers within all have power levels above 10 zong; the remaining eight numbered armies are all ninth-level legions, with only two thousand soldiers each, but all have power above 6 zong;

Finally, regarding the Dragon Forbidden Captain, there’s nothing more to say. This army, although only a thousand strong, is almost comprised of the most talented group in Great Xia. He had seen it during the Battle of Baimu City, even the ordinary soldiers had power levels generally above 25 zong, and the number of those whose power exceeded 30 zong was also quite considerable,

Disregarding the scale and battlefield experience, the paper strength of the Dragon Forbidden Captain could already rival the Silver Scale Army of Cai Qiu.

Importantly, Great Xia also has a terrifying Holy Pattern augmentation.

All at the Cold Resistance Level receive a thirty percent increase in strength!

“The Northern Three Towns has connections with Chen Cang and Cai Qiu, allowing for methods of daytime combat for the Earth-Digging Realm, Beishuo probably has such methods, but not many. It’s impossible for all the almost two hundred thousand Earth-Digging Realm individuals in the city to appear during the day; even Great Xia doesn’t have this ability now, let alone Beishuo.

We must siege the city by daybreak; the miasma of the Jiuqu Blood Corridor recedes, supposedly due to intentional withdrawal by the deceitful monsters, meaning the current situation in the Southern Slope Territory is fully known to them. The withdrawal was a deliberate opportunity for the two feudal towns to advance southward, letting Great Xia first draw their attention. Those deceitful monsters in the Blood Miasma Plain are really cunning…”

Xia Hong’s brow slightly furrowed as he recalled the situation discovered two days ago upon returning from the Jiuqu Blood Corridor, his face instantly taking on a tinge of gravity.

He was eager to attack Beishuo City, not without reason. The main reasons being twofold: first, the concern of Chen Cang sending reinforcements, delays could bring unforeseen changes; second, the changes in the Jiuqu Blood Corridor.

The miasma in the Blood Corridor was receding, but what about the Bone-Eroding Path?

He had already known in the Moao River territory that the Black Wind General of the Bone-Eroding Path was allied with the deceitful monsters of the Blood Miasma Plain. If the miasma of the Jiuqu Blood Corridor started to recede deliberately as he suspected, then there would definitely be simultaneous changes in the Bone-Eroding Path as well.

After all, the Blood Miasma Plain is facing pressure from two vassal towns, there’s no reason to let Chen Cang advance southward while still blocking the path for Cai Qiu.

“During the trial in the Blood Miasma Plain, the one who massacred the geniuses of the two feudal towns was called Xuan Bing; the one who ambushed me in the Manluo Flower Sea was called Thousand Face; and the one in Bone-Eroding Path was Black Wind. All three have Tribulation Body Realm strength, it’s almost certain they are just subordinates of the deceitful monster about to awaken in the Blood Miasma Plain.

Crucially, they might only be the tip of the iceberg. The deceitful monster force behind the Blood Miasma Plain, capable of contending with the two vassal towns for so many years, its true strength is likely far beyond imagination, able to arbitrarily alter the flow of time itself. The deceitful monster about to awaken is surely at the Calamity Level, possibly even stronger!

If not dealt with early, I’m afraid…”

Xia Hong’s expression darkened a few shades, as during those few months in Yanling County, through Jiang Xinfan and Ji Hong, he had already uncovered many secret details regarding the Blood Miasma Plain. This understanding allowed him to outline the deceitful monster force behind the Blood Miasma Plain.

The clearer the understanding, the heavier the heart naturally becomes.

There is still an unexploded bomb in Qinghepu, and now a more terrifying entity has emerged from the northern Yanze Lake.

“The more territory one covers, the more powerful unknowns are encountered. Where are these powerful entities coming from? What kind of world is the Ice Abyss…”

Xia Hong took a deep breath. Though his sight was fixed on Beishuo City, his mind had already wandered to other places.

“People of Beishuo City, listen to me. Lord Xia Hong is benevolent, willing to leave you a path to survival…”

Xia Chuan worked quickly, and it wasn’t long after he left with Xu Ning and the others that a loud voice rang out across the sky above Beishuo City.

As all the military commanders descended, there was no one left on the main command platform, only Xia Hong and his family of four remained.

Li Xuanling heard Xia Chuan’s voice coming through, she looked up at the sky, realizing dawn was breaking, she stepped forward a few paces, walked to Xia Hong’s side, and softly asked: “Do you need my help?”
