Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1701: Chapter 538: Panic and Mutiny, Hedge Betting, Sky-Banning Pill_3

The speaker’s strength is evidently uncommon, and this voice was earth-shattering, instantly causing thousands of soldiers in the front row to stop.

Once the front row stopped, naturally, those behind also halted.

The soldiers were dazed for a moment but quickly snapped back to reality.

“That’s right, my close relatives are all in Wuchuan. We should have gone to aid Wuchuan last night with our tens of thousands but were tricked into Aikou by Cai Qiu. As a result, not only was the Xia Army unharmed, but the Jinshan Army was also duped into going to Jinyang with Cai Qiu. What about my family?”

With a second voice, there emerged a third, a fourth…

“If the family dies, it won’t matter if Cai Qiu’s army comes!”

“But the Lord said…”

“What did the Lord say? It’s all at Cai Qiu’s discretion anyway. The Lord hasn’t come down since just now; he’s already being controlled by Cai Qiu’s people.”

“That’s right, Cai Qiu’s men follow the Lord closely, clearly coercing him. Great Xia is a tiger and wolf, and Cai Qiu isn’t any better. Brothers, come back with me to Wuchuan!”

“Returning to Wuchuan, at least we can still protect our families.”

“At worst, dying with family is fine too!”

“That’s right, we’re not going to Jinyang, back to Wuchuan!”

……

“Bold ones, shut your mouths, you are causing a mutiny!”

“Anyone who dares to move, will be executed!”

“Marching to Wuchuan is the Lord’s order, defying the Lord is a capital crime, anyone who dares move, I will kill them!”

Within the Wuchuan Army, the sound of suppression quickly rang out.

However, these voices had not yet formed a scale when they were overwhelmed by a ground-shaking roar from the soldiers.

Countless soldiers roared in anger, then directly ignored the order and marched west. Not to mention those suppressing generals, even the rapidly approaching Xianyang Level above them was ignored.

Since Lord Qin Feng is controlled, there is nothing left to say about the remaining Xianyang Level; they must also be controlled.

They believe no one now, only wishing to return to Wuchuan, to the side of their loved ones.

The first wave of soldiers marching west quickly caused a chain reaction, with many emotionally charged soldiers following behind, and some of the still hesitating soldiers also joined.

Wuchuan has rebelled!

“Wuchuan Army has left?”

“I just said, instead of folding back to attack Aikou, we follow Cai Qiu and his folks to Jinyang. If the town is lost, what good is staying in Jinyang? Will Cai Qiu’s army care about the lives of our families?”

“I want to return to Jinshan City, not going to Jinyang.”

“I’m not going to Jinyang; I want to return to Jinshan City. Even if I die, I’ll die with my family.”

……

What’s even worse is that when Wuchuan rebelled, the Jinshan Army hadn’t gone far.

Seeing Wuchuan Army rebelling, the Jinshan soldiers in the rear who hadn’t moved far were instantly infected. Many who had been hesitant suddenly made up their minds, roared out, and directly broke away from the ranks, returning to the eastern side towards Aikou City.

“All of you stop, all of you stop, Qin He Qin Shan, how are you leading the army, quickly stop them…”

“Jinshan Army, all of you stop, do not move…”

The mutiny on the ground, naturally, the Robbery Body and Manifestation Yang in the sky could not sit idly by.

At the beginning of the rebellion, Qin Feng and Shangguan Yang immediately shouted to stop it, but the soldiers below have already decided they are held by Cai Qiu’s people, and their angry shout to stop, unexpectedly, had no effect whatsoever.

“Indeed, a rabble crowd, no wonder earlier eleven thousand failed to defeat forty thousand Xia Army, the enemy hasn’t hit yet, and they rebel first!”

“Indeed the borderland barbarians, not fit for the hall, hum!”

……

Halfway to the sky, Qin Feng and Shangguan Yang were interrupted with a cold voice by those Circling Cai Qiu nearby.

Hearing the contempt in Cai Qiu’s people’s tone, though Qin Feng and Shangguan Yang’s faces have shown embarrassment, they dared not show any anger and simply cast their eyes toward Cai Qiuhu and the nine others at the front.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Feng cupped his hands and spoke to Cai Qiuhu: “Little Landgrave Cai, I shall go down to stop them!”

Shangguan Yang hurriedly followed behind, opening his mouth as well: “Kill a batch should resolve it, I will go down now and can surely stop the rebellion.”

Upon hearing the request of both, Cai Qiuhu gave no response but continued to look downward. After three to four breaths, he turned to look at Qin Feng and Shangguan Yang, his face showing some inexplicable expression.

“No need, many have already fled along the way, and you failed to stop them just now. Don’t try now, notify your subordinate generals, let them lead the remnants willing to follow us, continue toward Yinhe Valley!”

The rebellion now is merely the explosion of anger soldiers accumulated during the westward withdrawal, not some sudden impulse.

When the Jinshan Army had deserters earlier, Shangguan Yang notified the Jinshan high command to execute a batch, that time couldn’t suppress it, now don’t even mention it.

This isn’t a matter of hundreds or thousands of people’s mutiny but tens of thousands. Killing a batch earlier, soldiers’ hearts already have grievances, at this point executing anyone for suppression ensures not a single person will go to Jinyang.

“Two Lords, do not worry, I said, as soon as my Cai Qiu Army comes through Bone-Eroding Path, to help you recover the Town, it will be a piece of cake, Great Xia’s rampage is merely a matter of days…”

Cai Qiuhu’s tone unmistakably carried some hint of threat.

“Little Landgrave, I have no dissent, my family remains in Wuchuan City, now relying on your mighty troops to descend south, to rescue them.”
