Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1028: Chapter 367: Evasion and Surprise Attack, Jiangxia’s Complete Victory, Secret Letter, Counteroffensive_6

"You’re treating Dajue Temple like a person!"

Lu Yang turned back to look at Wang Tao and gently reminded him.

Wang Tao was momentarily stunned by the words, but quickly reacted.

Right!

Dajue Temple is a force controlled by deceitful monsters, it cannot be judged by common logic; to them, human life is worthless.

"Dajue Temple wants six-year-old children. To expand their territory, control more villages, and gather more population, they could achieve this goal. Using these ten thousand people to lure Jiang Yuanlong into leading his troops to counterattack Hongguan, if they could indeed crush the coalition of the Nine Towns in one blow, it would be a deal with no loss!"

As Zhu Shun finished speaking, everyone in the room had a simultaneous change in expression.

"If that’s the case, then the Nine Towns will suffer greatly this time."

After Lu Yang whispered, he turned to look at everyone and said, "When counterattacking Hongguan at night, stay away from those bhikkhus at Dajue Temple. I suspect they have other strange methods. Be careful not to fall into their trap."

"Understood, sir!"

After advising everyone, Lu Yang shook his head and spoke coldly, "Dajue Temple really has a big heart. I originally thought the war would drag on for a long time. They actually used over ten thousand people as bait. Jiang Yuanlong and his people are now overwhelmed by the prospect of victory and are already planning a night-time counterattack. If they lose tonight, not to mention Hongguan, but the vast territory east of Hongguan will be in jeopardy. Do you think the other Seven Towns will still be willing to send troops to support Jiangxia then?"

Almost everyone did not think twice and shook their heads immediately.

Of course not!

This was naturally the answer in Lu Yang’s heart as well.

His expression suddenly became excited.

"The Lord should have been watching the war here all along; if the Seven Towns abandon Jiangxia, wouldn’t this be a perfect opportunity for our Great Xia to intervene on the North Shore?"

He pondered for a moment and quickly shook his head again.

"No, no, the Lord has more information than I do. Guessing blindly here is useless. Continuing my tasks, gathering more details on the Nine Towns is my most important assignment."

Putting aside his thoughts, Lu Yang looked at the increasingly bright sky outside and, along with everyone else, closed his eyes for a nap, quietly waiting for nightfall.

There are only two hours during the day, without any occurrence, they pass by in the blink of an eye.

The sky darkened quickly, yet outside the barracks, no sound was heard, leaving Lu Yang leisurely content, continuing to rest and recharge with the others, after all, there was a battle that night.

After nightfall, about two hours later, noise gradually emerged from outside the barracks. Lu Yang sprang from his bed at once, opened the window, and looked out.

"They’re back. All 180,000 Earth-digging Realm troops have returned. They should be calling for assembly soon, get ready!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stood up and donned their armor.

"People from the Seven Towns, quickly gather at the main tent."

"People from the Seven Towns, quickly gather at the main tent."

......

The shouts of the messengers came through, and Lu Yang, along with the prepared group, left the barracks and headed toward the main tent.

The previously empty military camp was now filled with people; evidently, the 180,000 Earth-digging Realm troops who left here before dawn had all returned.

"They should have some rest, but it won’t be long. Jiang Yuanlong intends not only to reclaim Hongguan tonight but also to seize Jinbi Dragon River. The counterattack will commence in less than an hour!"

Lu Yang devised a plan in his mind and quickly arrived at the main tent.

"Those two thousand, are they Jiangxia’s Defensive Army! Quite powerful."

Unlike the slightly empty appearance at the main tent yesterday, tonight the entrance was guarded by two thousand soldiers. These soldiers were equipped with bows, donned Thousand Forged Iron Armor, and their minimum cultivation was at the Earth-digging Realm Limit, with many at the Cold Resistance Level. Their expressions were solemn, standing motionless, exuding a murderous aura that even surpassed their own team composed of Cold Resistance Level troops.

"My East Sun Team should be nearing the qualifications for an official army, once this is over at East Ridge, I must suggest it to Xia Chuan."

Looking at the army, Lu Yang couldn’t help but feel a tinge of envy in his eyes.

Great Xia now had eleven armies, theoretically, his East Sun Team should also be close, but he had been busy with East Ridge affairs over the years and hadn’t gotten around to mentioning it to Xia Chuan. Seeing Jiangxia’s Defensive Army naturally sparked his interest.

"Truly an authentic army, pleasing to the eye!"

"Jiangxia Town finally showed something worthy, not in vain did we come all the way from the Seven Towns to support them."

"The Hongguan Pass is worth the investment."

..........

Listening to the discussions around, Lu Yang’s eyes flickered as he looked toward the main tent.

The counterattack was about to begin!
