Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1667: Chapter 526: Beneath Aikou City, Good News from East Valley City (3)

“Originally the only thing we were worried about was Cai Qiu’s Xianyang Level experts, but now that the Lord is here…”

“No need to worry, just follow your plan…”

Xia Hong directly waved his hand to cut off Yuwen Dao, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes as he said, “Cai Qiuhu should have brought quite a few Xianyang Level cultivators with him, but no matter how many come, it’s useless. Even if he brings every Xianyang Level expert Cai Qiu has, Jinshan Town still must fall!”

Everyone present, including Xia Chuan, could hear the domineering intent behind Xia Hong’s words, and their expressions all lifted slightly.

“Two Beast Emperor-level Puppets… it seems this still isn’t the Lord’s limit!”

Yuwen Dao had already learned from Xia Chuan what happened in Beishuo City. Hearing Xia Hong now, he immediately grasped the key point, and his heart settled a lot.

Beast Emperor strength corresponds to the human Tribulation Body Realm. Judging from the intelligence Jiang Xinfan sent back this year, two Beast Emperor-level Puppets are clearly still not enough for Great Xia to be unafraid of the Feudal Towns.

So for Xia Hong to dare say this now could only mean he still had stronger cards in hand.

“I just don’t know how strong the Lord’s own strength really is…”

What Yuwen Dao was most curious about at this moment was Xia Hong’s strength.

Knowing that Xia Chuan had personally witnessed Xia Hong’s two moves in Baimu City and Beishuo City, Yuwen Dao had already asked him just now, and Xia Chuan’s answer was that he couldn’t see through it—not only couldn’t see through it, he couldn’t even make a rough estimate.

That answer was already quite convincing in itself.

“The illusion rules of the Cold Beast Stake—the Minister once told me about them. So the Lord must now have the strength to slay a Beast Emperor. Otherwise, where did two Beast Emperor-level Puppets come from? No, it might not just be two…”

Thinking of this, Yuwen Dao felt both shaken and a bit frustrated inside.

He knew his talent was inferior to Xia Hong’s, but after joining Great Xia for so many years, Yuwen Dao had always been trying to narrow the gap between them—especially in these three years when Xia Hong was absent and Great Xia’s development skyrocketed. Naturally, Yuwen Dao’s cultivation progress had risen accordingly; his Basic Strength was now over 9 Jun, even a little higher than Xia Chuan’s.

He’d originally thought that when Xia Hong returned this time, the gap between their strengths would be smaller than before. Who would’ve thought that not only did it not shrink, it actually grew wider.

“With two Beast Emperor-level Puppets and the Lord personally here, breaking Aikou City is no longer much of a problem. What we need to consider now is merely how to minimize casualties in the assault, and how to deal with the Cai Qiu Feudal Town behind Jin Mountain…”

Once Yuwen Dao sorted this out, his mood relaxed considerably.

He had known for some time that people from Cai Qiu were coming, but the arrival of a Tribulation Body Realm expert was completely beyond his expectations.

The matter of Little Landgrave Cai Qiuhu had just been explained to him by Xia Hong.

“Alright, come with me…”

Xia Hong had finished surveying the battlefield and was about to call everyone back to the main tent, but he halted just after opening his mouth, then turned his head to look toward the west.

The others, not knowing why, immediately turned and followed his gaze.

Only then did they discover that someone in the distance was flying toward them.

“Lord, good news, good news—Lord Luo has led the central army and already taken East Valley City. Qin Feng’s fifty thousand troops have been shut out of the city; right now they can’t return to reinforce the Town, and they can’t go back to East Valley City either. Wuchuan has collapsed without a fight!”

The newcomer was Xu Ning, his face full of smiles; before he even got close he had already shouted out the situation at East Valley City.

Everyone’s faces lit up with smiles at this news.

Luo Yuan really hadn’t let them down.

After muttering this to himself, Xia Hong gave a quiet laugh. “Come back to the main tent with me and tell us properly how Luo Yuan took East Valley City.”

“Qin Feng led fifty thousand troops and pretended to withdraw…”

Xu Ning was clearly impatient to share; as he followed behind Xia Hong, flying toward the main tent, he recounted everything that had just happened in East Valley City.
