Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1398 - 451: Blinded by Lust, Ignorant and Arrogant, Chui Mountain’s Lord Replaced, Cai Shiqi Breaks Down, Intimidation_3

But now, even with just a rough estimate of those standing and those fallen in the military camp, it’s clear there are nearly twenty thousand people.

Twenty thousand!

How did Chui Mountain Town muster so many with the Cold Resistance Level?

Seeing the Defensive Army soldiers, he immediately realized that these people had used some special means, but he had no mood to ponder what exactly those means were.

Because right now, the number of people fallen in the camp is just too many!

A rough glance shows at least six or seven thousand people lying on the ground.

Among the remaining ten thousand people still fighting, the combined forces of the Duan Family and Beishuo Army barely reach five thousand, whereas the Mu Family side has at least seven to eight thousand.

”Mu Longhe’s injuries had healed long ago, so in this mutiny, Mu Qinghe’s greatest reliance wasn’t on Cai Shiqi, but Mu Longhe; Mu Qinghe had recalled a part of the Defensive Army from outside the town, and used special means to enable them to act during the day; the Beishuo Army didn’t appear immediately to stop the mutiny, but only showed up after the camp started fighting...”

Duan Hong’s expression changed repeatedly, quickly deducing the whole story in his mind. Finally, looking at Mu Longhe, his expression suddenly froze, and a hint of horror appeared on his face.

Even the Great Xia was involved in this mutiny!

After all, having the status of Chui Mountain’s lord, Duan Hong’s words carried significant weight. Because of his recent powerful shout, the slaughter in the camp had actually paused, and everyone, after disengaging from battle, looked up towards him.

Only the battle between Yang Fa and Mu Longhe in mid-air continued.

”For the sake of power, creating internal strife, causing countless deaths and injuries, Mu Longhe, are you really intent on destroying our Chui Mountain’s hundred-year foundation?”

Duan Hong, seeing the army below halted, directly targeted Mu Longhe in mid-air, questioning angrily. Before Mu Longhe could respond, he continued, ”Betraying your lord and defecting, so utterly insane, what exactly did the Great Xia offer you...”

”Ptooey!”

Mu Longhe, having the upper hand in the battle with Yang Fa, suddenly withdrew from the fight, standing in mid-air glaring angrily at Duan Hong, said, ”Rascal, when the old man and your father collaborated to establish the foundation of Chui Mountain, you were nowhere to be found. Is it your place to talk about the hundred-year foundation?

The old man hasn’t left the town for two years, yet you eliminate dissidents, suppress the loyal line of the Mu Family, rashly altering military organization, promoting based on favoritism, causing discontent throughout Chui Mountain, and you even allowed the Beishuo Soldiers to secretly infiltrate the town, hiding within your Duan Clan Land. If your brother Duan Zhao had a spirit in heaven, knowing you’ve done so many foolish things, he’d probably strike you down with lightning right now, you unfilial son!

I thought your marriage ties with the Yang Family was merely to leverage Beishuo’s strength for Chui Mountain’s development, but now it seems, you foolish man, you didn’t have the foresight at all, all you think about is groveling at the master’s feet for favor!

The old man really misjudged you, should never have agreed to the former lord, to support you to the great position back then; you’re utterly unworthy of being the lord of Chui Mountain!”

......

After Mu Longhe’s tirade, Duan Hong’s entire face had flushed entirely to a livid red, like a pig liver. Especially the final words of being unworthy to be the lord of Chui Mountain, it was practically rubbing his face into the ground.

When he questioned what benefits the Great Xia had given Mu Longhe, he aimed to smear the opponent. But he forgot, from the moment the Beishuo Army showed themselves, he as the lord, along with the entire Duan Family, were already thoroughly disgraced.

Adding to that, the past nearly two years of Duan Hong and the Duan Family’s string of reactionary deeds, Mu Longhe’s words just now, thoroughly ignited the long-repressed anger in all the people of Chui Mountain.

Being the dominant side in the first place, from the moment Mu Longhe emerged, they no longer regarded their actions as a heinous mutiny, but as a legitimate defense of Chui Mountain.
