Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1082: Chapter 378: Shocking News, Deployment, Excitement and Encounter—the Importance of Seizing the Initiative (3)

”The others stay put, Zichuan, Duan Xu, you two come with me to check out the situation.”

Duan Chang is the Deputy Army Chief of Chui Mountain Town, responsible for the defense of Jiangyan Camp. He commands two divisions of the Defensive Army, with Mu Zichuan and Duan Xu being the Commanders of these two divisions. Both have a cultivation level of over twenty, coupled with his own strength of thirty-four, just going to scout should pose no problem.

The three men first shed their Thousand Forged Armor, revealing the black attire beneath, moving stealthily towards Hongguan Camp in unison.

When they were over three hundred meters away from the camp, they could basically see the situation inside, but once they saw clearly, their expressions froze in shock.

”Golden armor? Does Jiangxia have such armor?”

”Neither Jiangxia nor Bashang have it, only a bit more than a hundred people!”

”Can’t see through it, get closer, check their cultivation level!”

It was completely nightfall, they could only see the golden armor, unable to discern the cultivation levels of the soldiers. Duan Chang whispered to keep moving closer, swiftly reaching the boundary limit of three hundred meters.

The trio was of Peak Cold Resistance cultivation, and three hundred meters was essentially the extent of their sensing range, so upon entering that limit, they immediately discerned the cultivation of the more than a hundred golden armored soldiers.

Upon realizing it, the trio’s pupils instantly contracted sharply.

”Cold Resistance Level!”

”All are at Cold Resistance Level.”

”Something’s wrong, retreat quickly!”

Duan Chang suddenly sensed something, exclaimed softly with alarm, turning to flee first, followed swiftly by the other two without understanding but amid haste.

Yet, they had scarcely retreated ten meters.

Whoosh......

A Double-edged Giant Axe abruptly came threateningly to Duan Chang’s face, his expression shifted dramatically as he dodged swiftly to the side.

He dodged quickly, but Mu Zichuan and Duan Xu behind weren’t as fortunate.

Fortunately, both were quite tense already, quickly realizing an ambush; one raised a giant hammer, the other lifted a long saber, blocking instinctively.

Clang......

The silver giant axe struck both of their weapons, erupting a thunderous clamor.

”His strength exceeds ours!”

The instant they received the giant axe, their expressions transformed drastically, both recoiling several meters back to the camp’s scouting position.

”Who goes there!”

Duan Chang pulled out a big saber, coming beside Duan Xu and Mu Zichuan.

The three stared ahead, expressions fraught with tension.

A sturdy young man over two meters tall, clad in pale golden armor, wielding a Double-edged Giant Axe, stood where they had just been, smirking coldly at them.

”Such sneaky spying upon our Great Xia Military Camp, you’ve crossed the line!”

Great Xia?

Upon hearing Great Xia abruptly, Duan Chang and his cohorts were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

”No need for idle talk, they’re Chui Mountain’s, capture them first!”

At this, a voice sounded from behind, causing Duan Chang, Mu Zichuan, and Duan Xu to turn sharply, revealing three more figures appearing simultaneously on their left, right, and back.

The one on the left matched the stature of the previous axe-wielding youth, over two meters tall, similarly clad in golden armor, with a composed face, holding a noticeably non-standard long, slim saber.

The one on the right was slightly shorter, appearing older than the first two but likely not over forty, wielding an oddly shaped saber about a meter long.

”Twenty-four cultivation level, both left and right over twenty levels too, and the one behind is unfathomable; Great Xia, where did they emerge from?”

Duan Chang assessed Yuan Cheng and the others surreptitiously, discerning their strengths before showing grave concern, focusing intently on the lone white-robed youth behind them who was without armor, instinctively feeling immense apprehension.

Despite possessing merely Intermediate Battle Body Talent, Duan Chang had enhanced his strength to thirty-two cultivation levels over years, proving formidable across Nine Towns, yet the white-robed youth behind was totally elusive to him.

This could only signify superior strength on the adversary’s part.

”They identified us as Chui Mountain’s and spoke of capture...”
