Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 776: Chapter 309: Gamblers at the End of the Road, Li Family’s Swan Song

Bang bang bang……

However, their reaction was clearly a bit slow.

To be precise, their strength was lacking.

The sound came from the back of the first floor. Xiao Kangcheng and his two companions had just reached the corridor, planning to head to that location. Looking up, they suddenly noticed a group of twenty-seven people charging toward them from the end of the corridor.

“Li Xuanping, Li Xuanqiu, Li Xuanhong, all are members of the Li Family. It’s them, quickly notify the Director and others, to come down to help!”

Tong Xinglong and Xiao Kangcheng were involved in the Beehive Encirclement Battle and instantly recognized that the twenty-seven people in front of them were the Cold Resistance Levels from Long Mountain.

“Twenty-seven people on the first floor, if there’s nothing on the second and third floors, come down to help.”

The main building was only so big, so the three of them naturally didn’t need to go up to call people specifically. They just drew their weapons and charged toward Li Xuanping and the others while shouting upstairs a few times.

Thump thump thump…

The Cloud Dragon Army soldiers on the first floor had already charged toward Li Xuanping and his group. It was obvious from the sound that there was nothing happening on the second and third floors as a large number of Cloud Dragon Army soldiers were quickly coming down the stairs.

Bam!

On the first floor, rather than charging forward immediately, the twenty-seven Cold Resistance Levels like Li Xuanping first drew their weapons, split into several directions, broke all the nearby windows, and then massively destroyed the surrounding walls.

“It’s all premeditated, stop them quickly.”

Once the walls are destroyed, the cold light streams in, and the Cloud Dragon Army soldiers won’t be able to perform effectively. Seeing how organized Li Xuanping and his group were, with no verbal exchanges throughout, Xiao Kangcheng immediately realized their actions were premeditated. Without waiting for the people from the second and third floors to come down, the three of them pounced on Li Xuanping and the others.

“Block them, keep destroying the walls!”

Bam…

At Li Xuanping’s order, several people immediately rushed out to block Xiao Kangcheng and the other two, while the rest accelerated the wall demolition, soon creating large holes in the walls.

Speaking of this, one has to mention the wealth of Long Mountain.

This main building was entirely made of iron materials, and the ground stakes appeared to be driven very deep, so despite Li Xuanping and the others creating one large hole after another in the walls, the main building didn’t shake much.

As for collapsing, that was clearly impossible.

“A bunch of stray dogs, still dare to come and die!”

Suddenly, Yue Feng’s voice came from the corridor.

Not only Yue Feng, but Bai Wuting, Ying Yi, Lu He, Chen Ying, Li Yuankun, Liu Yuan, apart from Yuwen Dao, the other ten people who came last night, all arrived.

“Everyone else”

Seeing so many Cold Resistance Levels arriving, not only did Li Xuanping not show fear, but a trace of excitement emerged in his pupils. First, he signaled the others to continue destroying the walls while he led Li Xuanqiu and Li Xuanhong to charge toward the Great Xia and others.

By now, not only were the windows, but many of the walls had already been destroyed, and as sunlight seeped in, the temperature inside the building quickly dropped, causing the Cloud Dragon Army soldiers to shrink back into the shadows.

“Brothers, these people are here to assassinate the leader. If we can’t get out, use bows to assist the adults. Even in death, we cannot let them get upstairs!”

“That’s right, stop them, don’t let them go upstairs.”

“If they want to kill the leader, they must get past me first!”

“Brothers, don’t retreat. Just like when the Minister led us to defend against the beast tide in the main building before, rotate in shifts, we won’t freeze to death.”

“Exactly, protect the leader, never retreat!”

“Never retreat.”

“We already failed once in the assassination attempt near the dungeon. This time, we must not mess up. We must protect the leader!”

……….

Even as the cold air caused them to start shivering, the Cloud Dragon Army soldiers at this moment burst with astonishing fighting spirit. After roaring, they all raised their strong bows, enduring the cold, and aimed at the Cold Resistance Levels who were destroying the walls, firing relentlessly.

And as more and more soldiers came down from upstairs, the pressure on Li Xuanping and the others grew, having to deal with ten people like Yue Feng, while also defending against the iron arrows shot by the Cloud Dragon Army.

Squirt…

Li Xuanping swept away Yue Feng in front of him with a slash and turned to find a fellow clan member who was breaking the walls hit in the left leg by an iron arrow. He hurried over to support him, seeing fear in his eyes, and sternly said in a whisper:

“Hold on a little longer, the leader will succeed soon!”

Hearing his words, that person’s expression became revitalized and he nodded.

The battle on the first floor seemed intense but interestingly, after several minutes, no casualties appeared.

The reason is simple enough. Although Li Xuanping had twenty-seven people, out of fear that the Cloud Dragon Army was numerous, he allocated at least twenty people specifically for destroying the walls. Only he, Li Xuanqiu, Li Xuanhong, and another four, seven people in total, were actually fighting against the ten Yue Feng people.

The seven of them were overpowering the ten Yue Fengs, clearly stronger in ability, but the problem was, with a large group of Cloud Dragon Army soldiers shooting arrows at them from the sides, they got constantly interrupted by countless iron arrows whenever they almost reached the killing blow, which was immensely frustrating.

As a result, they didn’t dare allow the twenty people to stop. If no one continued destroying the walls, letting the cold air in would give more room for the Cloud Dragon Army soldiers to maneuver, escalating their troubles.

Just as the entanglement on the first floor intensified, suddenly…

Bam!

A loud noise came down from the rooftop.

Regardless of whether it was Li Xuanping and the Long Mountain group or Yue Feng and the Great Xia group, everyone was momentarily stunned before suddenly looking up at the top floor.

The faces of the Long Mountain people were filled with anticipation and excitement;

While the Great Xia people clearly realized something, their faces showcased anxiety and unease.

But the next sound from upstairs immediately swapped the expressions on both sides.

“Hou Jing, take those eight downstairs to assist, Yuwen Dao, Peng Bo, Liu Yuan, you also go down, capture them all, don’t let anyone escape!”

It was Xia Hong’s voice!

Not only that, more importantly, Xia Hong’s voice was full of vigor, without a hint of the weakness from the previous assassination attempt.

“So that’s it, so that’s it.”

“The leader was pretending, hahahahaha.”

“I knew it, this rabble, attempting to assassinate the leader, what a dream.”

“How could the leader be gravely injured, hahaha.”

“Capture the assassins, the leader said, let no one escape.”

In stark contrast to the excited Great Xia people, the faces of the Long Mountain crowd turned ashen, their expressions resembling mourning relatives.

……….

“Cough… cough… you actually dared to gamble…”

On the rooftop, Xia Hong stood up from the main seat, coughed lightly twice, waved off Liu Yuan who wanted to assist him, full of jest and teasing in his tone before slowly walking down.

In the center of the hall, Li Xuanling was pinned to the Cold Ruins Tripod by her own Heavenly Transformation Sword, pierced through the scapula;

On the left side, Li Xuanyan had his big saber cut off, and he himself was pinned into a beam column by a long spear, struggling to lift his head, panting heavily, gazing fearfully at Xia Hong, his face filled with horror and fright;

Li Xuandu on the right suffered the worst, with a large portion of his chest collapsed, lying motionless on the ground, it was unclear whether he was dead or alive.

A pierced scapula was not necessarily a fatal wound.

Thus Li Xuanling was still conscious at this moment.

But even as Xia Hong walked up to her, she made no move, only gazing blankly at the upper part of the hall, her face showing a serene despair.

“You should be well aware of the consequences of losing a bet, right?”
