Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1095: Chapter 380: What Is Chui Mountain Anyway? Crushing Defeat, Bad News One After Another, Panic in 8 Towns_6

Although the two sides have not formally signed an alliance, Jiangxia has just taken over the Peak Mountain Camp from our hands, which can be regarded as an actual alliance. Xia Chuan is naturally willing to show more goodwill to Jiangxia and others.

Moreover, it’s just to probe the strength of the camp.

The contact between Great Xia and the Nine Towns is inevitable. As these interactions deepen, the leakage of camp strength is inevitable. It’s best to tell Xiahou Zhang and others beforehand to gain favor while reassuring Jiangxia Town to keep them cooperating steadfastly with Great Xia.

Moao Calendar 132, May 3rd, shortly after nightfall

Bashang City, Lord’s Hall.

On the hall floor were valuable Dan Medicines for cultivation, special spiritual materials for weapon-forging, strange spiritual materials for alchemy, and dozens of precious Ten Thousand Forging Level weapons—various precious resources lay in abundance...

This vast array of precious resources was divided into six portions, allocated in front of the six tables in the hall, where naturally sat the twelve Xianyang Level representatives from the Six Towns: Beishuo, Jin Mountain, Wuchuan, Yangqu, Chui Mountain, and Dragon Valley.

Through the resources on the floor, it was clear that the largest shares belonged to Jin Mountain and Wuchuan Towns, while the resources for Beishuo, Yangqu, and Dragon Valley were equivalent. Chui Mountain Town alone received the least.

"Gentlemen, after a night of plundering, a long discussion, and prolonged disputes, we finally have a result. The precious resources from Bashang’s treasury, including 13,000 tons of silver reserves and four unexploited silver mines within Bashang Territory, have all been allocated!"

As Soon as Jinshan Lord Shangguan Yang spoke, the other five town lords nodded.

"From today, Bashang City and Baisong Camp belong to Chui Mountain Town, Jiuqu belongs to Beishuo Town, Zouyang belongs to Dragon Valley Town, Qing Valley belongs to Yangqu Town. Henceforth, all territories within Bashang belong to someone. Let me be clear: since this division was jointly decided by the six parties, once we leave this hall, regardless of future circumstances, none of us can go back on this decision. Does anyone disagree?"

The division of Bashang’s treasury was evidently orchestrated by Shangguan Yang. The five town lords all lightly nodded their approval upon hearing his words.

"Good, it is rare for everyone to agree, and everyone is happy about this. The matter of Bashang City concludes here, and I should also return to Jinshan Town."

Shangguan Yang promptly stood up, a slight excitement on his face, and eagerly left the hall with Jinshan Town Army Chief Bai Hongwu.

The remaining five town lords also exited the hall with their subordinates, their faces showing various degrees of annoyance.

The Six Towns brought many Cold Resistance Level individuals, so the Bashang divided resources did not need these lords, army chiefs, and town chiefs to move them personally.

The harvest at Bashang City was significant, and the six lords were in excellent spirits. They engaged in conversations until Shangguan Yang was the first to propose returning to Jinshan Town, at which point everyone ceased their talks and started to bid farewell, preparing to leave Bashang.

But just at that moment, a person hurriedly rushed toward the Lord’s Hall from outside the city, his face clearly anxious, his steps incredibly hurried. Upon seeing the six town lords, he first rushed toward Chui Mountain’s side.

"Duan Xing, why the rush?"

Chui Mountain Lord Duan Hong frowned, and the town chief Mu Longhe couldn’t help but scold the approaching person.

"Forgive me, Lord, forgive me, Town Chief, it is indeed an emergency that prompted my rashness..."

The person was Chui Mountain Town Vice Institute Chief Duan Xing. He first apologized to the lord and the town chief and, seeing the five other town lords around, a difficult expression crossed his face, making him unable to speak further.

Mu Longhe immediately deduced why Duan Xing was acting this way, continuously shaking his head, losing even the strength to rebuke him further.

With ten Xianyang Levels present, Duan Xing should know, as long as these ten individuals remain, anything he says cannot be hidden from them. His hesitant gestures merely invite ridicule.

Duan Hong, seeing his junior perform so feebly, shook his head and spoke in a deep tone, "Whatever the situation, just say it. The sky isn’t falling!"

Duan Xing held back for a while, clenching his fists, and finally leaned closer to whisper to Duan Hong, "Lord, Jiangxia has already dispatched troops to reclaim the Xuyang and Longzhou camps. Hongguan has been occupied by a camp called Great Xia. Last night, Deputy Army Chief Duan Chang seized Peak Mountain, but just moments ago, a Golden Armor Army sent by Great Xia massacred the Peak Mountain Camp. Two thousand Defensive Army troops were entirely wiped out, with over four hundred Cold Resistance Levels lost. Only a dozen Cold Resistance Levels escaped. I knew the situation was urgent, so I came to Bashang to notify the lord and the town chief!"

After these words, Duan Hong and Mu Longhe’s expressions suddenly changed.

"What?"

"Great Xia, where did this Great Xia come from?"

The words of Duan Xing were, of course, clearly heard by the other five lords.

Yangqu Lord Cao Qianyang and Dragon Valley Lord Long Mingyuan were stunned after listening, while Shangguan Yang, Yang Zhun, and Qin Feng, in contrast, quickly realized something, their expressions suddenly changing.

Duan Xing hadn’t even had time to answer Duan Hong and Mu Longhe’s questions when another person swiftly charged from outside the city, directly toward Shangguan Yang.

This person also appeared extremely anxious but was much cleverer than Duan Xing. After rushing over, he saluted Shangguan Yang directly, "Lord, Lord Shangguan Ning led five thousand Defensive Army troops to attack Yumen Camp last night. Everything was initially smooth, but unbeknownst to us, Muyin Town had ambushed a Golden Armor Army within the camp. The soldiers of this army all had Cold Resistance Level Cultivation. They were not only well-equipped but also highly combat-skilled, which we could not resist at all. Over forty percent of our five thousand troops were killed, and Lord Shangguan Ning was also captured."

Shaa......

Not only Duan Hong and Mu Longhe, but Shangguan Yang and Bai Hongwu’s faces also changed drastically, turning exceedingly grim.

Misfortunes indeed appear to come in battalions.

Just as with Chui Mountain and Jin Mountain, there came another person flying from outside the city. The four remaining town lords’ hearts skipped a beat, fearing it was someone looking for them.

Soon, the person rushed hurriedly toward Qin Feng, and Yang Zhun, Cao Qianyang, and Long Mingyuan’s expressions immediately relaxed significantly.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng’s expression naturally grew increasingly grim.

"Reporting to the lord, Deputy Army Chief Qin Yuan Yi occupied Fushan with his forces last night. Early this morning, Muyin’s Golden Armor Army launched an attack. The Deputy Army Chief could only surrender his weapons; currently, the entire army is detained by Muyin Town."

Great Xia, a Golden Armor Army...

Even if Cao Qianyang and Long Mingyuan were slower to comprehend, they understood by now.

Yang Zhun also pieced together the entire scenario and instantly his expression turned solemn.
