Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1096: Chapter 381: Hongmen, Taking the Opportunity to Show Strength, Allies and the New Nine Towns, Dominant Great Xia, Shamelessness

The eighth year of Great Xia, April 29

Similarly, it was shortly after nightfall.

Xia Hong, clad in black, stood on the northern mountain wall of the Hongguan Pass, his hand resting on the long blade of the Dragon Sparrow Saber at his waist, with a domineering gaze overlooking the entirety of Hongguan Pass below.

Behind him stood seven figures: Yuan Cheng, Luo Yuan, Hong Guang, Hong Tian, Zhou Yuan, Yue Feng, and Hou Tong. Although silent, their eyes clearly showed a strong excitement as they looked at Hongguan Pass below.

Last night, more than an hour before dawn, the seven large armies, including Dragon Slayer, reached the Hongguan Camp. It was precisely because of these seven armies stationed at Hongguan that Xia Chuan could confidently lead the Cloud Dragon Army eastward to attack the Peak Mountain Camp.

Xia Hong turned to look at the seven and said in a deep voice, ”Your seven armies will be stationed here for a long time to come. Starting today, not only Hongguan, but you must also become thoroughly familiar with the exact locations and surrounding environments of all the camps in the Nine Towns to the east of Hongguan. One day, it will prove useful.

Also, over the past six months, all the major battles between Jiangxia and Bashang Towns against Dajue Temple should have been compiled by the Military Department; these are paths paved with the lives of those who came before. You must study them carefully.”

Hearing Xia Hong’s words, the seven’s expressions became slightly solemn, and they replied in unison, ”We will follow your orders!”

The ambition revealed in Xia Hong’s words was so obvious that the seven, who understood the implications, naturally became increasingly excited, and their eyes were filled with even more fervor as they looked at Xia Hong’s back.

Each of them commanded an army, making them undoubtedly senior members of Great Xia. Xia Hong’s ambitious plans clearly allowed them to see a broader future for both themselves and Great Xia.

To follow such a leader was undoubtedly the greatest fortune in the lives of those eager to achieve fame and success.

”The Six Towns people took an entire day and night to divide it up, and they still haven’t finished. It seems the Bashang Town treasury is indeed quite full...”

Upon hearing Xia Hong’s words, the seven turned their heads to look at Bashang City in the southeast, each with different expressions.

Suddenly thinking of something, Yuan Cheng cupped his hands and said, ”Lord, since Bashang is located on the east bank of the Xing River, at the south end of the Nine Towns, and the treasury has already been divided by the Six Towns, shouldn’t the territory belong to our Great Xia?”

The remaining six nodded slightly at this.

Luo Yuan, after nodding, directly stated, ”The Northern Three Towns are out of reach; even if they wanted to take it, they couldn’t. As for the Central South Three Towns, unless Jiangxia Town gives way, as long as our Great Xia is in the middle, no one can lay a finger on Bashang!”

The special geographic location of Bashang determined that as long as Jiangxia and Great Xia did not give way, the Northern Six Towns could not touch it.

It was naturally impossible for Jiangxia to give way to Chui Mountain. The only concern was Yangqu and Dragon Valley Towns. After all, during the previous chaos caused by Dajue Temple, these two towns aided Jiangxia, and the relationships among the three towns were quite extraordinary.

Xia Hong’s eyes flashed briefly, and he chuckled lightly, ”I assume the Six Town Lords divided the Bashang territory yesterday, but all to no avail. Tonight’s grand banquet is when the true ownership of Bashang will be decided.”

Upon hearing about tonight’s grand banquet, Yuan Cheng and the others were slightly uplifted.

They all knew about Xia Hong’s plan to simultaneously invite the Eight Town Lords to a banquet tonight.

Great Xia’s first public appearance on the southern slope of Moao Mountain and simultaneously inviting the Eight Town Lords—what an audacity!

Only their lord, Xia Hong, would have such confidence.

Gazing at the Hongguan Pass below, Xia Hong suddenly laughed and said, ”Hongguan doesn’t sound good. I’ll rename this place to Hongmen!”

Thus, tonight’s grand banquet was indeed a Hongmen Banquet.
