Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1684: Chapter 533: Blinding Technique and Divine Wind, Qin Feng’s Unease

Great Xia, Year 13, the first day of the first month, just after nightfall

“Cai Qianshan refuses to back down and wants to continue supporting Jin Mountain and Wuchuan Town to fight against us. According to Cai Qiuhu just now, there should be more to come regarding Qin Feng’s fifty thousand troops. The Minister has already arrived at Wuchuan Town to personally oversee the situation. The Lord sent me to remind you to keep an eye on Qin Feng’s fifty thousand troops. Of course, if possible, it would be best to take care of them!”

High above East Valley City, Xu Ning, who had just arrived, quickly recounted everything that happened during the day at Aikou City to Luo Yuan before conveying Xia Hong’s final instructions.

Although Luo Yuan was listening to him, his gaze was always fixed on the Wuchuan Army Tent that was two to three kilometers north of East Valley City. It was only after Xu Ning finished speaking that he nodded with a smile and said, “Qin Feng’s fifty thousand troops no longer have a chance. Last night, they pulled all their supplies out of East Valley City with the army. Now, apart from retreating to the town for reinforcements, there’s nowhere they can go.”

Before he had taken East Valley City, he had already thought about it. Dragon Valley and Beishuo had changed hands, and Yangqu’s Cao Qianyang was leading people to evacuate. Currently, in the northern battlefield, only Jin Mountain and Wuchuan Town remain. Qin Feng and his fifty thousand troops with supplies cannot move far in a short time. Apart from heading north to reinforce the town, there is no road left for them.

“Last night, as soon as I captured East Valley City, I sent people to Wuchuan Town to notify the two thousand elites under the Minister’s command. Now, there are scouts everywhere. As soon as Qin Feng’s fifty thousand troops move, news will come immediately.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning’s face instantly revealed a smile.

East Valley City is just over 20 kilometers from Wuchuan City. The fifty thousand troops can arrive in two hours at the fastest. By all means, once East Valley City was lost last night, Qin Feng should have immediately led his fifty thousand troops north to rush to the aid of Wuchuan City.

But in fact, six hours have passed since East Valley City changed hands, and Qin Feng’s fifty thousand troops have remained stationed three kilometers north of the city without moving at all.

“As soon as Qin Feng moves north, the two thousand elites of the Minister will head south. At that time, our forty thousand troops will emerge from the city in full force, and with a pincer attack from the north and south, he will only meet a worse fate. Continuing to stay here, keeping an eye on us while waiting for changes in the Jin Mountain battle, barely leaves him a slim chance of survival. After all, Qin Feng has been a lord for so many years; he’s not completely foolish…”

Before Luo Yuan finished his sentence, a biting cold wind suddenly gusted from the north, causing him to pause mid-sentence, his expression slightly stunned.

“Wind?”

Xu Ning also noticed it and remarked after realizing the cold wind was coming from the direction of the Wuchuan military camp to the north, his expression immediately changing as well.

“There’s something suspicious about this wind!”

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Yuan had already leaped forward.

Xu Ning realized what was happening and quickly followed behind him, heading towards the location of the Wuchuan Army Tent to the north.

The Wuchuan Army Tent was just two to three kilometers north of East Valley City. Although both were in Sky Control mode, fearing Qin Feng’s deceit, they dared not approach too quickly, taking over twenty pauses to cautiously get within three to four hundred meters of the tent.

“The tent seems fine; the bonfire is burning, and soldiers are present…”

However, upon approaching, the two were immediately stunned.

The Wuchuan Army Tent appeared perfectly normal, at least visually, but the tent was continuously emitting cold gusts of wind outward. Moreover, the wind speed was increasing, gradually sweeping up the snow on the ground, forming a snow fog that covered the tent while continuing to spread outward.

“Covering the tent, what are they trying to conceal?”

Upon hearing Xu Ning’s words, Luo Yuan furrowed his brow, then directly led the way down to the ground, locating the Xia Army’s outpost.

Upon reaching the ground, their expressions suddenly changed.

The reason was simple: from high above, they clearly saw the tent with cold wind blowing out, covering the sky and almost obscuring the tent below from view.

But after landing, they found the tent before them had no abnormal airflow whatsoever, seemingly calm as ever.

The Wuchuan Army Tent’s location was almost three kilometers from East Valley City. An environment like Ice Abyss, so frigid and cold, was already not a short distance. Normally, the Xianyang Level’s perceptual range wouldn’t extend so far, luckily because of the sheer number of fifty thousand troops and the tent seemingly covering the sky, the Xianyang Level could roughly observe the tent’s outline from above.

However, this was wartime, and just seeing the rough outline wasn’t enough. Therefore, Luo Yuan had already set up eight outpost stations around the Wuchuan Army Tent to keep Xia soldiers constantly watching for any movement from the Wuchuan Army.

“Who is it… Greetings, Commander!”

The two soldiers on duty at the southern outpost, obviously still competent, immediately raised an alert upon noticing someone approaching. Seeing it was Luo Yuan and Xu Ning, they quickly bowed their heads in salute.

Luo Yuan didn’t waste words, waving to indicate they didn’t need to stand on ceremony, and directly asked, “Watching for so long, have you discovered anything?”

The two shook their heads at this, with the soldier on the left speaking, “An hour ago, a large plume of smoke rose from within the Wuchuan Army Tent, presumably for them lighting fires to cook. I’ve sent word of this back to the city, and aside from that, there hasn’t been any movement in the Wuchuan Army Tent, not even any sounds from within have become fainter.”

Becoming fainter?

Luo Yuan sharply picked up on the scout’s words, turned to look towards the northern Wuchuan Army Tent, his expression slightly frowning. Suddenly thinking of something, he pulled a Yellow Candle from his chest and lit it.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle……

The moment the Yellow Candle was lit, a faint sound immediately arose within three meters, in what was previously a windless and peaceful environment, suddenly gusts of chilling wind began to blow, and a small but dense snow fog also started to manifest.
