Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1092: Chapter 380: What the Hell Is Chui Mountain? Crushing All Before Them, Bad News After Bad News, Panic in 8 Towns_3

"What, has the gentleman run out of words?"

Xia Chuan looked at Duan Chang with a mocking expression, his face full of ridicule.

Duan Chang’s face instantly flushed red, primarily because Xia Chuan was too young, appearing to be less than thirty, while he was already over sixty. Being mocked by a young junior in such a condescending manner, especially in front of more than seven hundred Cold Resistance Level soldiers, made it hard for him, the Deputy Army Chief of Chui Mountain Town, to maintain his dignity.

In his anger and embarrassment, he shouted in a deep voice, "Enough with the nonsense. The Nine Towns established an alliance long ago, and no forces from the Outer Domain are allowed to touch an inch of the Nine Towns’ territory. Whether you Great Xia can hold Hongguan is still in question. If you dare attack my Peak Mountain Camp today, it would mean a full declaration of war against my Chui Mountain Town..."

"What the heck is Chui Mountain?"

Duan Chang’s words were interrupted by Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan deliberately turned his head to speak to Liu Yuan beside him.

Understanding immediately, Liu Yuan burst into laughter, "Hahaha, it’s that fool at Jiangxia Town who kept retreating from Dajue Temple and even watched Bashang Town get destroyed without helping. Now, they want to use the Nine Towns’ authority to intimidate our Great Xia, hahahaha..."

"Hahahahaha..."

"Hahahaha..."

All the soldiers of the Cloud Dragon Army, being Cold Resistance Level, equated cultivation with authority to some degree. They had been aware of everything about Dajue Temple and the Nine Towns while stationed in Wuyuan. So, as soon as Liu Yuan spoke, the entire Cloud Dragon Army burst into laughter, their voices naturally full of mockery and contempt.

Now it wasn’t just Duan Chang alone; the faces of all seven hundred-plus Cold Resistance Level soldiers behind him also flushed red.

Duan Chang’s chest rose and fell erratically, clearly on the brink of rage, repeatedly pointing at the Xia Army with a finger, his pupils almost igniting with fire.

"Silence!"

When the laughter died down, Xia Chuan raised his hand to signal, and the soldiers instantly fell silent at the order.

Xia Chuan looked up at the enraged Duan Chang, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, no longer interested in wasting words. He said with a cold smile, "Enough of this nonsense. I, the Minister, am here with the army to reclaim Jiangxia’s homeland. Peak Mountain does not belong to your Chui Mountain Town. I give you a hundred breaths to take these seven hundred men behind you and leave Peak Mountain Camp. As long as the soldiers in the camp hand over their weapons and war armor, I will let them leave after dark. Remember, only a hundred breaths!"

After speaking, Xia Chuan swung his hand fiercely toward the troops behind him.

"One... two... three..."

The entire Cloud Dragon Army behind him gathered their energy and, facing the direction of the Peak Mountain Camp, began shouting in unison.

They intended to count aloud to a hundred right in front of them.

"Xia Chuan, how dare you show such contempt for this old man!"

Duan Chang looked at Xia Chuan, now completely livid.

"Twenty-one... twenty-two... twenty-three..."

But Xia Chuan paid him no further mind, only the thousand men of the Cloud Dragon Army continued to roar together, their anger growing with each increasing number, further intensifying the rage in Duan Chang and the more than seven hundred people behind him.

"Fire the arrows!"

Being so disdained by Great Xia, Duan Chang’s overwhelming fury finally erupted, and he was now thoroughly cornered. Choosing to retreat at this point would leave him with no dignity left to uphold.

"It will be an hour and a half until nightfall, with seven hundred Cold Resistance Level troops and over sixteen hundred more inside the camp to shoot arrows. Delaying for a while won’t be a problem. If we can hold out until night, there’s no issue, and the Lord and Town Chief will arrive to support us. I refuse to believe these wretched scoundrels can bring me down in an hour and a half!"

Whiz, whiz, whiz...

"Reconnaissance Camp, raise shields! Nine Camps, release arrows!"

The moment Duan Chang ordered to fire, a flicker of joy appeared in Xia Chuan’s eyes. Before the other side’s arrows even flew, he had already given his command.

The Reconnaissance Camp was in the front row, and at Xia Chuan’s command, they immediately put down their weapons and raised the golden round shields on their backs to cover their heads.

The nine hundred men of the Nine Camps at the back quickly drew their longbows, pulling out silver sharp arrows one after another from their arrow quivers, fastening them onto the bowstrings, and shot furiously at Duan Chang’s side of over seven hundred people.

Whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz...

Both sides had about seven hundred and nine hundred men respectively, with little difference in the scale of the two barrages of arrows, and their colors were also similar, all in silver.

But after they clashed in the air, the expressions on Duan Chang’s side instantly changed.

The airflow driven by the Xia Army’s arrow barrage directly caused the opposing arrows to veer wildly off course to the sides.

Thud...

As their arrow barrage was destroyed, the Great Xia’s arrow rain continuously struck in, and someone from Duan Chang’s side was finally hit.

The person grunted, pulled the arrow from his war armor, glanced at it momentarily, then his pupils contracted suddenly, exclaiming, "Silver-made, all their arrows are silver-made!"

Silver-made arrows?

Duan Chang’s face changed dramatically as he shouted, "Retreat to the barracks!"

Initially seeing both sides’ arrows were silver, he subconsciously thought Great Xia was using Thousand Forged Iron Arrows.

Arrows made of silver, how could they possibly fight against those?

"Now you think of retreating, the entire army advance, approach the camp!"

At Xia Chuan’s order, the front row Reconnaissance Camp slung their round shields on their backs, also taking out longbows to join the volley.

While the whole army advanced, they did not stop shooting arrows, continuously pushing Duan Chang and others back into the barracks, allowing the Cloud Dragon Army to successfully enter the camp through the north gate.

Whiz, whiz...

Once inside the camp, many arrows were fired from the barracks on both sides.
