Chapter 1598: Chapter 502: A Hundred Xianyangs, Zhongyang Battle Situation
Just as Jinshan Town knows the strategic importance of Aikou Camp, it purposely built a city there to guard the town and resist foreign invaders;
Wuchuan is the same, with East Valley Camp connected to Jinshan West Yuan Camp to the east and stretching south to Muyin Fushan Camp. It is like a nail embedded between the two towns, and it is the essential path for the southern towns heading north. Naturally, a city was established there long ago due to its importance.
Although East Valley City’s scale cannot match the Town, it spans five kilometers in length and breadth. On the southwest side of the main city gate, a moat has been dug, twenty meters wide.
In a climate as frigid as Ice Abyss, it’s naturally difficult to have flowing water, but humans are intelligent beings capable of devising means to withstand the climate.
“This trench remains untouched during peacetime, with the ice on top conveniently used for entering the city; and during wartime, we will dispatch people to burn coal stones in the iron troughs prepared below the trench, melting the ice…”
Above the main gate of East Valley City, over twenty people were floating in the air, led by an elder dressed in a blue brocade robe, with Qin Feng, the Wuchuan Lord, humbly explaining to him.
Although Qin Feng was speaking continuously, the excitement in his pupils couldn’t be concealed when he thought of the elder’s identity and the news he had just brought.
The elder before him was Cai Yunhe, a third-generation disciple from the Landgrave Cai Qiu’s lineage, and also the third-ranking figure among the Xianyang Level heading to the Southern Slope for reinforcement from Cai Qiu.
“Little Landgrave Cai Qiuhu personally leads a hundred Xianyang Levels and has garrisoned Jinshan City. I have been ordered by Little Landgrave to lead ten people to assist Wuchuan!”
This was what Cai Yunhe said when he led the group out of the hall to welcome them.
The plan for Great Xia to unify the Southern Slope is destined to fail!
At that moment, this sentence quickly surfaced in Qin Feng’s mind.
A hundred Xianyang Levels are already enough to reverse the current predicament.
The key is that this is only from Cai Qiu; the people from Chen Cang have not yet arrived.
After Qin Feng finished explaining all the city defenses of East Valley City, seeing Cai Yunhe’s lack of response, he couldn’t suppress his confusion and respectfully asked:
“Lord Cai, since Little Landgrave is already personally present in the Southern Slope Territory, why not take direct action to intimidate? Great Xia’s strength is only enough to act aggressively in the Southern Slope, but before your Feudal Town, they’re like fireflies before the bright moon. If Little Landgrave could personally visit Xia City and intimidate a bit, Xia Hong would certainly be wary…”
“Humph! Easier said than done. Great Xia has at least 15 Beast King Level puppets that haven’t shown up in the battle yet, likely staying in Xia City. Why should a person as noble as Little Landgrave risk himself for this minor issue of yours in the Southern Slope?”
“I was foolish; I beg your forgiveness, my lord!”
Interrupted, Qin Feng’s expression slightly stiffened, and although apologizing verbally, his heart grew increasingly puzzled.
He didn’t know much about Caiqiu Feudal Town, but he had heard of Little Landgrave Cai Qiuhu’s reputation.
The Landgrave Cai Qiu has four sons: the eldest, Linchu County Governor Cai Qiuyang; the second, Qingcang County Governor Cai Qiuning; the third, Baishui County Governor Cai Qiuhong; and lastly, the youngest, Cai Qiuhu.
Little Landgrave isn’t just an honorary title but an actual feudal town position, as is evident from this role, indicating Cai Qiuhu is the future successor to Cai Qianshan as the Landgrave.
Being Little Landgrave, Cai Qiuhu’s strength is, of course, remarkable. Qin Feng had heard that although Cai Qiuhu is the youngest son, his talent far surpasses his three elder brothers. He broke through to the Tribulation Body Realm at just over sixty and is now barely over eighty, making him relatively young among the Tribulation Body Realm in Moao River.
Moreover, Cai Qiuhu is heavily valued by the Landgrave, not only residing in Caiqiu City year-round but also having the authority to freely command the Landgrave’s Silver Scale Army.
Putting aside Cai Qiuhu’s background, just his cultivation level in the Tribulation Body Realm ensures no one in the Southern Slope Territory can threaten him.
Four years ago, Great Xia deployed 12 Beast King Level puppets in the Battle of Hongmen. Two days ago, during Yang Jian and Chu Xuan Kong’s raid to abduct Xia Yusheng, they released 3 Beast King Level Teng Jiao, bringing the current number to 15.
According to the Ice Abyss Law, beasts of the same level usually have far superior strength to humans.
15 Beast Kings are, indeed, terrifying!
Among the Northern Three Towns, the strongest fortifications are probably in Jinshan, but if 15 Beast King Level puppets jointly help the Xia Army attack the city, even Jinshan would likely not hold out for long.
Great Xia declared war two days ago, and those Beast King Level puppets have not been used yet, which gives Qin Feng some peace of mind and adds credence to Yang Jian’s words.
Those Beast King Level puppets surely have usage restrictions; otherwise, Great Xia wouldn’t delay using them until now.
Of course, those Beast King Level puppets aren’t invincible!
Especially when facing a strong Tribulation Body Realm master.
Cai Qiuhu is undoubtedly a formidable Tribulation Body Realm master; even if he cannot contend with the combined force of 15 Beast King Level puppets, personally visiting Xia City for intimidation isn’t risking his life, is it?
Moreover, he has brought many Xianyang Levels. Even if Great Xia really goes mad or has some hidden tactics to target him, couldn’t he simply flee?
To describe a trip to Xia City as risking life is certainly an exaggeration.
“Not wanting to stop this war is the real reason!”
The two vassal towns are helping them fend off Great Xia because they have their sights set on the Southern Slope Territory. But the problem is that they cannot deploy a large army southward now, so instead of intimidating Great Xia to halt this great war, it’s better to leverage the forces from the Northern Four Towns to deplete Great Xia’s strength first.
