Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

The Nine Towns control their territories not by setting up outposts throughout and sending people to guard, as in Great Xia, but rather by appointing Inspectors to oversee all village-level camps within their borders, who then control all large and giant camps below.

Under the constraints of the inspection system, no camps within Beishuo’s territory are allowed to merge unless there is a directive issued by an Inspector. Unauthorized mergers violate Beishuo’s laws, leading to the leader’s execution in minor cases. In more serious situations, not only does the leader have to die, but all Cold Resistance Level Earth-digging Realm individuals in the camp must become mining slaves.

It was only then that Lu Dong realized he had been tricked by Bai Pingshan!

Bai Pingshan definitely knew about this regulation and clearly set him up on purpose.

It took until three months ago, when the other seven families of Beining Mountain knew about it, and an Inspector from Beishuo Town, who had been residing at Zhu Ling Camp, approached him, that Lu Dong finally realized the trouble he was in.

Because Beining Mountain was at the western edge of Beishuo Town’s territory, and the resources around it were not abundant with mediocre camp strength, the Inspector from Beishuo Town named He Wuyang was not very powerful, having only Twelve-maned.

The power of Twelve-maned was sufficient to rule over the entire Beining Mountain.

But the five hundred people Lu Yang took with him this time were not weak at all.

His East Sun Team, counting himself, had 5 Cold Resistance Levels; Zhao Hu’s Steel Mane Team had 6; adding the Five Department Directors, and the leaders of the eight Intermediate Hunting Teams, there were a total of 24 Cold Resistance Levels.

Putting the numbers aside, while Lu Yang himself only had a Mid-stage Cold Resistance Cultivation, with an Eight-maned power, Zhao Hu had already reached a Late-stage Cold Resistance, with a full Fourteen-maned power.

Even though He Wuyang noticed the strength at East Ridge, his arrogance did not change, and he even boasted under the impetus of Zhu Ling’s seven families, demanding Lu Yang tie himself up and go to Beishuo Town for execution.

Lu Yang considered directly killing He Wuyang at the time, but remembering Xia Hong’s instructions and the crucial nature of the East Ridge outpost, he suppressed his anger, lowered his stance to the lowest, acting as if he were someone from the Outer Domain who had just arrived and was completely unfamiliar with Beishuo’s rules, displaying a façade of panic and uneasiness.
