Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1407 - 452: Crowds Converge, Chui Mountain Resolved, Alliance of Nine Towns, Pact Finalized_5

In mid-air, Li Xuanling directly signaled to Mu Longhe.

Mu Longhe understood and immediately pointed towards the direction of the Chui Mountain Lord’s Hall, smiling as he invited, "Everyone, please follow me to the hall! My son Mu Qinghe has already led people to prepare in advance."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that Mu Qinghe who had just led the troops below, along with the direct senior members of the Mu Family of Chui Mountain, had already disappeared.

This undoubtedly further confirmed that everything today was within Great Xia’s calculations.

Shangguan Yang and Qin Feng exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other’s eyes, yet ultimately could only clasp their hands, nod, and follow Mu Longhe towards the Lord’s Hall.

After Li Xuanling and the eight Lords left, the expressions of Great Xia’s group immediately relaxed, and following that, their faces were filled with excitement and exhilaration.

"The Nine Towns Alliance is formed just like that!"

Yuan Cheng led soldiers to escort the people from the feudal towns away, leaving only Qiu Peng, Xu Ning, and others on site. Upon hearing Liu Yuan’s enthusiastic words, everyone’s faces naturally lit up with a few smiles.

"Great Xia now holds the prestige of four towns, regardless of others, Yangqu and Dragon Valley are caught in the middle and have no choice. Once they lean towards us, the alliance already has six towns, and the Northern Three Towns can’t do anything even if they are unwilling..."

Upon hearing Xu Ning’s words, Qiu Peng immediately shook his head and laughed, "The Northern Three Towns are not necessarily unwilling, at least Jin Mountain and Wuchuan are likely willing to ally against the feudal towns. Cai Shiqi went to Jin Mountain at the end of August last year, stayed in Jinshan Wuchuan for such a long time, and the two Lords didn’t relent, showing that neither family wants to bow to the feudal towns.

They don’t want to bow but don’t dare to turn against them. Now that Great Xia dares to be the frontrunner, they are naturally happy to see it succeed. After all, it’s just an alliance, and they don’t need to directly offend the feudal towns, only a fool would refuse!"

Liu Yuan frowned slightly and asked quietly, "Director, are you saying they still intend to use us?"

"Of course!"

Qiu Peng nodded directly and said, "They are all people who don’t act without benefit. If they don’t see any advantage, how could they agree to ally with us? However..."

He paused, his eyes flashing slightly, and continued laughing, "The feudal town crisis is still early, and with time, who uses whom might become uncertain!"

Liu Yuan, along with Xu Ning and others, upon hearing this, immediately recalled the alliance conditions outlined by Xia Chuan before closing. Their faces immediately lit up with smiles.

With two years of integration, Muyin and Jiangxia towns are getting closer and closer to being truly merged into Great Xia; now Chui Mountain has changed hands, and Mu Longhe is merely someone they temporarily pushed out to stabilize people’s hearts. It’s not an exaggeration to say Great Xia has practically annexed Chui Mountain.

So essentially, Great Xia already holds the territory of four towns!

At this Chui Mountain council, as long as the Five Towns agree to the alliance conditions proposed by Great Xia, it’s not an exaggeration to say that the outcome of the Southern Slope Territory’s future is already very clear.

"The relationship between Beishuo and Chen Cang is likely deeper than we imagined. Now, the only ones to guard against are them. Isn’t there a clause in the conditions set by the Minister, asking Jin Mountain and Beishuo to hand over the areas connecting the feudal towns to be governed by the alliance?

If we can physically cut off the connection between Beishuo and Chen Cang, then even if Yang Zhun and his brother are unwilling, they can only obediently follow along with us down this path."

As Xu Ning continued speaking, he became more and more excited, his face full of enthusiasm, "Two years ago, the Lord defeated Yang Zhun at Hongmen, and the people of the Nine Towns crowned the Lord as the Nine Towns Dominator. It seems this title should be changed..."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Ning looked up excitedly and said, "Now that the alliance is formed, it should be the Nine Towns Sovereign instead. From now on, anything concerning the feudal towns and external enemies, the Northern Five Towns must follow Great Xia’s orders!"

"Achieving this step is not so simple, the next task is to prevent Yangqu and Dragon Valley from defecting, the Northern Three Towns from colluding, and the Five Towns secretly approaching the feudal towns. The push for public opinion in the Nine Towns Territory can’t stop, spreading the news of this Chui Mountain coup to let everyone in the Nine Towns know that the Chen Cang and Cai Qiu families have always been eyeing our Nine Towns Territory and could attack at any time!"

First, use public opinion to coerce the Five Towns Lords, achieve resource sharing mechanisms, and as long as Treasure Tower smoothly opens in the Five Towns, it can continuously weaken the influence of the Five Towns Lord Families on the Town. In the coming years, as the average strength of the Nine Towns people rapidly rises, how much their words will still matter is hard to say.

When that time comes, even if they want to unite to oppose the alliance, they won’t be able to do it. Colluding with the feudal towns would truly sever themselves from the Nine Towns and plunge themselves into doom."

Qiu Peng seemed to have seen through things more clearly, and after speaking, Xu Ning, Liu Yuan, and the others immediately fell into contemplation.

After a long time, they finally understood the key points of this alliance and nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, everyone go and busy yourselves with your tasks!"

Qiu Peng ceased further discussion with everyone and directly indicated for them to get busy.

Of course, the busiest one was him.

The Chui Mountain Town, including the vast territory of Chui Mountain, starting today, all would be incorporated into Great Xia’s territory, with its expansive territory, massive mineral and resource areas, needing him as the Camp Supply Department Director to lead people to inventory.

Fortunately, with the cooperation of the Mu Family people, it shouldn’t be too troublesome!

Thinking of this, a trace of excitement flashed in Qiu Peng’s eyes, and he quickly walked towards the treasury of Chui Mountain Town.

......

The Chui Mountain coup began on May 16th during the day, lasting for less than two hours in total, meaning it was settled before nightfall.
