Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1395 - 450: Out of Control, Intimidation and Naivety, The Battle Becomes Clear, Beautiful Woman and Cai Shiqing

Mu Qinghe let out a roar, leading Zhu Ziying and four junior disciples, along with the surrounding soldiers, and instantly launched a counterattack towards the southern side of the camp. They formed a pincer attack with the Defensive Army charging from the perimeter, trapping Duan Mian, Duan Xian, and their soldiers in the middle.

"Mu Longhe, since your arms have healed, why don’t you return to Chui Mountain?"

Yang Fa was momentarily stunned upon seeing Mu Longhe, but quickly realized something. He rapidly sensed the situation around the Inner City and, upon not detecting any anomalies, looked up at Mu Longhe and issued a challenge.

"Return to Chui Mountain and continue being your Yang Family’s dog like Duan Hong?"

Mu Longhe retorted and did not continue to bicker with Yang Fa. Instead, his body suddenly shot downward, almost instantly arriving before Duan Mian.

"Old Army Chief, spare..."

Clang!

No matter how old one is, death is always feared. Seeing Mu Longhe appear suddenly before him, terror climbed rapidly over Duan Mian’s face. He did not even make any resistant moves, only instinctively begging for mercy.

However, before he finished pleading, a silver long spear descended from the sky, blocking Mu Longhe’s sword edge.

"Mu Longhe, it seems you are determined to align with the Great Xia. The issue of Chui Mountain is far more complex than you think. I advise you not to act recklessly, lest you bring disaster upon yourself!"

The twin swords pressed down upon the long spear as Mu Longhe applied slight force, noticing Yang Fa’s strained expression. He sneered and said, "Isn’t it just Chen Cang and Cai Qiu’s two feudal town juniors squabbling here? Do you think I don’t know? Beishuo colludes with Chen Cang’s foreign fief, cutting ties with the Nine Towns. Catastrophe is coming, and you are unaware. I assert that Beishuo will inevitably follow Bashang into ruin and become the second town-level camp to collapse in the Southern Slope Territory!"

"Nonsense, you’re courting death!"

Even knowing Mu Longhe’s seven-jun prowess, surpassing himself, Yang Fa was still infuriated by Mu Longhe’s curse on Beishuo. The long spear suddenly retreated, and then swept forward.

But alas, anger cannot make up for the gap in strength.

Boom.....

In the face of Yang Fa’s five-jun prowess, Mu Longhe easily dodged by slightly sidestepping. Dodging was just the first step; simultaneously, his swords sliced one above, one below, toward Yang Fa’s neck and side waist. The sharp sword edge brought forth heat waves, instantly blowing away more than ten surrounding soldiers.

"Can the difference of slightly over one-jun be this vast!"

Realizing that he could not withstand the force of Mu Longhe’s two strikes, Yang Fa’s face turned pale with dread. He made a risky retreat to barely evade the neck strike, but his side waist wasn’t so lucky.

Whoosh.....

Mu Longhe’s left-hand sword slit through the skin and flesh of Yang Fa’s waist side, though it did not reach the inner bones, the burst of blood dyed Yang Fa’s waist red, making a visually impactful scene.

Of course, Xianyang Level understood that without bone injury, such an injury wasn’t serious.

But to those Cold Resistance Level soldiers below, it was a different story.

"Army Chief is invincible, Beishuo’s Yang Fa is no match for our Army Chief, hahaha!"

"Brothers, with Army Chief here, we’re sure to win!"

"Kill, keep killing! We’re the true Chu Mountain People. The Duan Family not only colludes with Beishuo but contacts foreign fiefs; they are the real traitors!"

"Indeed, the Beishuo Army is hiding in the Duan Clan Land. The Duan Family is already convicted of colluding with Beishuo. It’s undeniable in the eyes of everyone, kill!"

"Brothers from the Yellow Armor First and Second Army, some of you aren’t from the Duan Family. The old man knows you are just coerced by the Duan Family, not intentionally betraying Chu Mountain. Just drop your weapons, tie a white ribbon on your left arm, and join us in exterminating the rebels. The old man promises not to hold you accountable afterward!"

"Right, drop your weapons, and join us in exterminating the rebels!"

......

By this stage in the rebellion, control had long been lost. Now the competition lay in morale and numbers, both of which Mu Family had an absolute upper hand.

Mu Qinghe noticed that non-Duan Family members in the Yellow Armor First and Second Army were already showing signs of retreat. He immediately shouted angrily, joined quickly by Zhu Ziying and others in a loud chorus.

A dramatic scene unfolded.

Just an hour ago, the Mu Family was considered rebels, but now, they smoothly planted the label of rebels upon the Duan Family.

And the Duan Family had no one who could refute it.

Because the Beishuo Army did indeed come out of the Duan Clan Land.

Whereas the Mu Family was indeed comprised of Chu Mountain people.

It was clear who was defending Chu Mountain and who was colluding with foreign fiefs!

Mu Longhe was driving Yang Fa into continuous retreat, while Mu Longhe and others continued disrupting the minds and emotions of the Duan Family. Mu Family’s morale soared, fighting fiercer and fiercer, while Duan Family’s casualties increased, even the three thousand Beishuo Army began to suffer losses.

Under this ebb and flow, the balance of the battle already tipped entirely to one side.

Until a voice angrily shouted towards the Lord’s Hall:

"Stop, all of you stop at once!"

..........

Approximately a quarter-hour before Mu Longhe’s arrival.

In the outer regions of the Inner City, atop a tall tavern.

A middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion sat in a window seat, occasionally sipping from the wine cup in his hand, eyes fixed on the battle around the camp.

Five others of similar age were also seated by his side, sipping wine and watching the camp battle.

This high-built tavern stood at least thirty meters tall; the view from the top floor window allowed for a comprehensive view of the camp, making it an excellent vantage point.

"Mu Qinghe really kept this card hidden!"

The middle-aged man, Cai Shiqing, first made a playful comment.

The crowd immediately echoed in agreement.

"Mu Longhe, he’s the one, they say last year during the Hongmen battle, the Great Xia Lord Xia Hong crippled his arms, that Xianyang Level guy who was taken for forced labor."

"His arms are grafted back now!"

"Having that card is good! The Princely Heir’s four Burning Sun Pills can be saved, they can be asked back after the battle."

"The Sunlight Pill allows Earth Digging Realm to operate in daylight. It should be similar to our Cai Qiu’s Cold Prevention Pill; who knew Nine Towns had such a good item."

"I just captured someone who said it was unique to Great Xia."

......

After the crowd echoed, Cai Shiqing nodded slightly, observed the battle’s victory balance tipping towards the Mu Family, a smile surfaced on his face, and he turned to deliver orders: "Quickly go report the battlefield situation to the Princely Heir in the Lord’s Hall."

"At your command!"

A person at the table stood up, cupped his hands in acknowledgement, and departed, evidently heading to report the situation to Cai Shiqi, who had trapped Duan Hong.

Cai Shiqing took another look at the camp situation, feeling bored, turned his gaze away. In this small corner, such battles hardly piqued his interest.

But as soon as he turned his head, he immediately noticed something, his expression froze, his eyes instantly lit up, and his cheeks, ruddy from the wine, turned redder.

For about ten meters ahead, at another window seat he hadn’t noticed initially, sat someone.

A woman!

A woman in white palace attire, with a silk mask covering her face.

Even across the silk mask, Cai Shiqing could sense there was an extraordinarily beautiful face, suffocating in its allure concealed behind it.

Because Cai Shiqing, throughout his life, held the utmost love for beauties!

This was an innate talent.

Intently staring at the beauty before him, Cai Shiqing’s eyes filled with an undeniable wicked glint!
