Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1393 - 450: Out of Control, Intimidation and Naivety, The Battle Clarified, Cai Shiqing the Beautiful

Thinking back to last year when he first arrived at the Nine Towns Territory, the lords of Jin Mountain and Wuchuan were vague in their recruitment of Cai Qiu, refusing to give a clear stance. A flash of shadow flickered in the depths of Cai Shiqi’s pupils.

However, he quickly concealed that shadow, continued to look directly at Duan Hong in front of him, waiting for him to give the final answer.

Seeing Duan Hong remain silent, the anger in his heart surged ever higher. Unable to resist, he continued with a threatening tone: "Lord Duan, perhaps you’re unaware of just how strong my Cai Qiu truly is. Let me be frank, as long as my Cai Qiu army marches south, your Nine Towns in the Southern Slope Territory combined are nothing to worry about. Someone like you at the Xianyang Level, in my Cai Qiu..."

"Cai Prince, you’re still too naive!"

Duan Hong suddenly interrupted Cai Shiqi, letting out a low laugh. He then sat back down at his seat, leisurely pouring himself a drink. After taking a small sip, he slowly shook his head and said, "Prince, I know far more than you imagine. I am fully aware of Cai Qiu’s strength, how many Xianyang Level powerhouses you potentially possess; but I know even more clearly that your army can’t march south in the short term, not even freeing up a few Xianyang Level individuals!"

Having heard this, Cai Shiqi immediately realized that Duan Hong had already had prior contact with someone from Chen Cang, his expression suddenly darkened.

"Prince, there’s no need for such expressions. As a lord, I know that both Chen Cang and Cai Qiu have rules, prohibiting Xianyang Level from meddling in Nine Towns’ affairs. Prince, you’ve adhered to the rules thus far, so naturally, Chen Cang won’t make an exception. As for whether this rebellion will ultimately play out as Prince wishes, that remains..."

"Prince!"

Suddenly, a person rushed in urgently from outside the hall, and before getting close, knelt directly in front of Cai Shiqi, quickly reporting, "Reporting to the Prince, a large group of Beishuo elites has suddenly appeared in the Duan Clan Land, totaling around three thousand and has already surged towards the military camp area to support Lady Duan."

"Hahaha..."

"Lord Duan, don’t be too pleased just yet!"

Duan Hong had just burst into laughter when Cai Shiqi harshly interrupted him.

After interrupting Duan Hong, Cai Shiqi’s pupils emitted a chilly hue, continuing, "If I managed to persuade Mu Qinghe to initiate a rebellion, how could I not have a backup plan? If you think relying on these three thousand Beishuo elites is enough to suppress this rebellion, then you’re certainly underestimating this Prince, huh!"

Duan Hong, hearing this, furrowed his brows and his pupils flashed with gloom, but recalling the Little Princess from Chen Cang’s advice a few days ago, the gloomy look immediately relaxed, revealing a light smile, "We’ll see, Prince, just how much confidence you’ve given Mu Qinghe!"

......

"Beishuo Army? Where did they come from? How can so many Beishuo Army appear!"

"All the Beishuo People were hidden within the Duan Clan Land, the Duan Family truly intends to hand over our Chui Mountain to Beishuo."

"The lord has yet to appear, don’t you understand? So many Cold Resistance Level Beishuo hidden within the Duan Clan Land, how could the lord not know?"

"The lord also wishes to surrender to Beishuo, Heaven is ending Chui Mountain, Heaven is ending Chui Mountain!"

......

In the Inner City Military Camp, the battle-hardened Mu Family forces had already secured their victory, but the sudden emergence of Beishuo Army completely reversed the situation.

The appearance of Beishuo Army also thoroughly confirmed what Mu Qinghe claimed just before the battle, that the Duan Family indulged Beishuo infiltrating the city to curry favor and gain the Yang Family’s allegiance.

Mu Qinghe, Zhu Ziying, Helian Shan, and Qiu Sanming gleamed with joy upon seeing the appearance of the Beishuo Army;

In contrast, among the soldiers participating in the rebellion, after half-an-hour of fierce battle, only a little over three thousand remained, and upon seeing the Beishuo Army, their faces climbed with despair.

At this moment, their defeat was assured.

"Brothers, we haven’t lost yet!"

Seeing his troops’ morale further dwindle, Mu Qinghe couldn’t spare more time to pursue Duan Mian and Duan Xian. He sought a moment to retreat, jumping atop a high building and angrily shouted to remind everyone.

"Senior brother, should we use the Burning Sun Pill given by the Prince?"

The four, Zhu Ziying and others, jumped up behind him, each retrieving a pill from their bosom. Zhu Ziying whispered to Mu Qinghe in front.

The pill in the four’s hand was milky white inside, with a faint lava-like pattern surrounding the outer layer, if Xia Hong were here, he’d surely recognize that this pill closely resembles the Bone Burning Pill he bought in Qinghua City, except for the color intensity of the lava pattern.

"That’s reckless, consuming a pill given by others so blindly? Such a pill that enhances strength, it definitely has significant side effects. Before figuring it out, we can’t consume it recklessly, besides, we have no need to eat such pills!"

Mu Qinghe stopped Zhu Ziying and the others, then pointed towards the military camp perimeter, loudly shouting to his own soldiers, "Brothers, don’t be afraid, Beishuo merely has this over three thousand people, our reinforcements have arrived!"

Reinforcements?

The military camp at this moment comprised three groups: Mu Family’s over three thousand; Duan Family’s over two thousand; and the last to join the battle, three thousand Beishuo soldiers, the latter two were jointly suppressing the former.

Upon hearing that reinforcements had arrived, all three groups were momentarily stunned, while continuing to fight, they also turned their heads to look towards the perimeter of the military camp.

This glance made the two opposing sides pause dramatically for a moment, their expressions then changed to one of extreme wonder.
