Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1106: Chapter 382: Fate and Timing, Amassing Troops at Bashang, Fame Spreads Across Nine Towns, Shock and Dismay (Part 5)

Yuwen Dao immediately bowed his head, looked up, and realized Xia Hong had already left. Not delaying, he quickly summoned Vice Commander Hou Quan to notify the Dragon Martial Army soldiers to pack their things and prepare to depart south.

After Hou Quan left, he pondered for a moment, took out a Suppression Talisman from his bosom, and with a small dagger, gently carved two words on the front of the jade. Then, he called Yuwen Yong.

"Brother, please help me deliver this jade to Miss Murong!"

Yuwen Yong was initially taken aback, but soon a smile appeared on his face. After receiving the jade, he promptly dashed outside.

The Dragon Martial Army’s march wasn’t hindered by the weather. Upon Yuwen Dao’s notification, the soldiers quickly packed their equipment.

It seemed Murong Chui was informed in advance. Just as the soldiers were packing, he delivered a large batch of provisions.

Perfect for the march, Yuwen Dao didn’t reject and agreed with Murong Chui that once the prisoners from Muyin and Jinshan Wuchuan were returned, he would personally send the silver from the two towns to Hongmen.

With everything arranged, Yuwen Dao took his leave from Murong Chui, leading the grand Dragon Martial Army out of Muyin City, heading directly south.

As he stepped out through Muyin City’s gates, Yuwen Dao seemed to sense something. He suddenly turned to glance up at the city wall, only to see a red silhouette standing atop it, waving distantly at him.

Yuwen Dao gazed at the graceful figure atop the city wall, mouthed two words, and finally turned to catch up with the grand army heading south.

On the city wall, Murong Yan’s face was tearful, looking down at the silver-black jade in her palm, her eyes softened.

"Brother Yuwen, Yan’er will certainly wait for you."

On the front of the jade, the deeply carved small characters read:

[Ten Years]

.........

Great Xia essentially declared its position among the Eight Towns with a Hongmen Banquet, officially replacing Bashang Town and becoming a new member of Moao Nine Towns.

Though the participants in the banquet were mainly the Eight Town Lords, additionally, the Xianyang-level Army Chiefs or Town Chiefs from various towns.

But don’t forget, Jiangxia had sent a total of four people.

Moreover, there were more people on the Great Xia side hosting the banquet.

Thus, inevitably, the influence of the Hongmen Banquet expanded incredibly quickly in both the upper and lower levels of the Eight Towns.

Great Xia Town Lord Xia Hong fought against five, defeating three grand masters consecutively. The swift downfall of Dajue Temple was mainly due to him;

Xia Hong’s strength is unfathomable. At the Hongmen Banquet, Chui Mountain Lord Duan Hong and Army Chief Mu Longhe joined forces but couldn’t withstand a casual strike from him;

Xia Army’s terrifying power surpasses the Northern Three Towns. The Cloud Jiao and Long Wu armies possess all Cold Resistance Level Cultivation, and the Defensive Army of the Eight Towns is no match, only crushed. Don’t believe it? The outcomes of Yumen, Fushan, and Peak Mountain battles can’t lie;

Jin Mountain and Wuchuan were consecutively defeated by the Dragon Martial Army. Both fear Great Xia, trying to ransom their people with millions of silver taels in Great Xia’s hands;

The Six Towns split Bashang’s territory among themselves, but Great Xia Lord Xia Hong compelled them to reallocate at the Hongmen Banquet, taking the prime Bashang City and Jiuchu Camp;

Great Xia Town’s army numbers in the tens of thousands, with eight thousand stationed just at Hongmen. The other Eight Towns simply cannot compete;

Chui Mountain offended Great Xia, prompting Xia Hong to personally demand from Chui Mountain Lord Duan Hong to deliver everything obtained from Bashang Prefecture intact to Hongmen within a month;

............

A multitude of news regarding Great Xia spread, causing an uproar through the Moao Mountain’s Eight Towns.

This uproar wasn’t confined to the town alone. Many village-level camps joined in the discussions upon receiving the news.

In truth, discerning individuals could see the rapid spread of information likely had the encouragement from Jiangxia and Muyin, perhaps even Great Xia Town itself.

But one can’t deny, all matters are genuine!

Especially when Jiangxia Lord Xiahou Zhang and Muyin Lord Murong Chui repeatedly confirmed in various settings, without opposition, making the credibility even higher.

On June second, Chui Mountain Town Lord Duan Hong indeed delivered all the items allocated from Bashang City to Hongmen.

The news spread instantly, igniting excitement throughout the Nine Towns.

Bashang Town was annihilated, Dajue Temple obliterated, now came Great Xia, wielding terrifying power.

As these events continuously spread and ferment, Great Xia Town’s prestige grew, overshadowing the Northern Three Towns, even hinting at becoming Moao’s top town.

Beishuo Town City, on a main road near the Lord’s Hall.

Yang Ning had just rushed back from the military camp, his face full of surprise, the Thousand Forged Iron Armor still not removed, he hurriedly proceeded, quickly arriving at a house’s door, he immediately knocked.

"Who?"

"Hu Zi, it’s me!"

The person inside, upon hearing the voice, immediately opened the door.

Yang Ning rushed into the house, saw Li Hu in casual wear, and without regard for whether he was asleep, asked in a deeply serious tone, "Have you heard about Great Xia Town’s situation?"

Great Xia Town?

Li Hu drowsily reacted upon hearing the voice, then nodded, "Of course I’ve heard. You’ve been in the military camp, right? This matter has already spread for half a month."
