Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1206: Chapter 406: Great Xia’s True Strength, Intimidation and Coercion, Postwar Reckoning

The entire Hongmen City was instantly plunged into a deadly silence.

Before the outcome was decided, the Cold Resistance Level crowd in the South City was chatting enthusiastically, speculating on who would win or lose.

But once the result was clear, no one dared to speak.

Everyone had clearly seen the battle between the two figures in the sky.

The Beishuo Lord, Yang Zhun, was defeated!

"How is that possible?"

"The Lord was defeated?"

"How could the Lord possibly lose?"

Over ten thousand people in the South City all looked up at Xia Hong, their faces full of shock. Some Cold Resistance Level individuals from Beishuo had dilated pupils and horrified expressions. A few even started trembling, muttering "impossible," clearly unable to accept Yang Zhun’s defeat.

Before everyone could recover from their disbelief,

the situation in the sky changed dramatically again.

No one expected Qin Feng and Shangguan Yang to act so unruly, attacking Xia Chuan and Yuwen Dao, the two Cold Resistance Levels.

"They’re not planning to concede!"

"Before Xia Hong showed up, the Six Towns had already lost one match; with Yang Zhun losing to Xia Hong, that’s the second loss for the Six Towns. If they don’t do something, the Six Towns will be a complete laughingstock today."

"Attacking two Cold Resistance Levels, isn’t that a bit excessive?"

"Excessive? As long as they gain some advantage, it’s fine."

"A Great Xia Minister, Xia Hong’s brother, and a Director of the Military Department in charge of the army—Xia Chuan and Yuwen Dao are currently the two most talented in Great Xia, rumored to have Top-grade Battle Body qualifications, and are the future Xianyang Level of Great Xia. Qin Feng and Shangguan Yang, they really are ruthless!"

"Capturing the two, what’s the point? At most, it’s just venting their frustration. Didn’t you hear what Yang Zhun just said? No matter how strong Great Xia is, it’s just one town. Xia Hong isn’t strong enough to act recklessly on the Moao South Slope. They plan to use the strength of the Six Towns to completely break relations with Great Xia!"

"Will Lord Xia Hong compromise?"

"Very likely!"

......

"Losing strength is not important, but don’t lose face and dignity as well. Do you think the disgrace the Six Towns has suffered today is not enough? Acting against our own is crossing the line. Can you bear the consequences?"

Xia Hong did not answer Yang Zhun’s question or look at the controlled Xia Chuan and Yuwen Dao. Instead, he looked directly at Qin Feng, Shangguan Yang, and the other ten Xianyang Level, his tone slow and grave, culminating in an ominous inquiry about bearing the consequences.

Everyone could hear the threat in Xia Hong’s tone. Even Qin Feng and Shangguan Yang, who had acted, and the other ten Xianyang Level who hadn’t, had their expressions slightly stiffen.

"The Shangguan Family of Jin Mountain, the Qin and Ye Families of Wuchuan, the Yang Family of Beishuo, the Duan Family of Chui Mountain, the Cao Family of Yangqu, the Long Family of Dragon Valley—out of the seven, the Shangguan Family has the most descendants, currently with seven generations alive, followed by the Qin Family with six generations. The other five have at least four generations together. Great Xia’s rise has only been ten years; how many relatives do you think I have for you to hunt down?"

As Xia Hong asked the last question, not only was his tone sinister, he even inadvertently glanced at the people in South City, the implication clear.

Among the nearly two hundred thousand gathered in South City, a small portion were from the Eight Towns, definitely including the direct descendants of the Six Towns.

As Xia Hong finished speaking, the expressions of the twelve Xianyang Level were already frozen.

Especially Qin Feng and Shangguan Yang were completely cornered. When they acted, they only thought about getting back on track today, without considering more. Now calming down, they realized capturing Xia Chuan and Yuwen Dao would not threaten Xia Hong, but instead bring trouble to themselves. They were like two hot potatoes!

"Qin Feng, Shangguan Yang..."

Xia Hong suddenly called their names in a calm tone, and then in an instant, he adjusted his blood to his throat and shouted angrily: "Release them!"

The shout instantly dissipated the snow fog above Hongmen, startling nearly everyone in South City.

Critically, Xia Hong’s body seemed to have undergone some change.

After his shout, everyone in Hongmen City could clearly feel the temperature rising rapidly.

Mind you, it was daytime!

The Cold Resistance Level in South City could sense the cold, and even the tens of thousands in the Earth-digging Realm needed coal stoves to keep warm indoors.

But after Xia Hong’s shout, they suddenly felt no hint of cold, and those Earth-digging Realm hiding inside found it hot near the coal stove.

"Lord Xia Hong, didn’t use full strength just now?"

"That’s definitely the case. When the Xianyang Levels showed up, only the temperature around the Ministry Building rose. Now it’s the entire Hongmen City!"

"This... how is it possible?"

"Was Xia Hong just playing with the Lords of the Six Towns?"

"But Lord Xia Hong had a wound on his back for real!"

"To a Xianyang Level, what’s that injury? Moreover, however severe Lord Xia Hong’s injuries, are they worse than Yang Zhun’s? Yang Zhun was stabbed in the left chest, and his abdomen was pierced. He’s still bleeding!"

......

Around the Ministry Building, the over thirty thousand troops of Great Xia, including those dispersed across the city, clearly sensed something and became extremely excited, all following Xia Hong and shouting.

"Release them... release them... release them..."
