Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Thus, his expression naturally became even more solemn.

From the map and various pieces of information provided by Ji Hong, he could practically reconstruct in his mind the pre-Feudal Town situation of the entire Chen Cang, and Xia Hong believed that if he were placed in Chu Longteng’s position, he certainly couldn’t achieve the same level of perfection.

And Great Xia is about to encounter such an opponent…

Looking at Xia Hong’s somber expression, Ji Hong seemed to foresee what he was thinking, showing a hint of hesitation before speaking gravely: “To be honest, during these three years, as I’ve deepened my contact with Chen Cang and learned more, I increasingly feel that our Great Xia, at the moment, compared to Chen Cang, is like the difference between a dragon and a lesser dragon.”

“No need to be so polite, the difference between a dragon and a python is more accurate; even comparing us to an ant against a tree wouldn’t be an exaggeration!”

For Xia Hong to personally say such words as the Lord, is undoubtedly not easy.

But he said it nonetheless, and after expressing it, he released a long breath.

It wasn’t just Ji Hong in the room, upon hearing Xia Hong’s words, Jiang Xinfan, Luo Ming, and several others’ expressions slightly changed.

“Lord need not be like this; Moao River’s four vassals have histories of three hundred years each, while our Great Xia has risen from Mud Slope to the present day, a mere fifteen years, to have such success is already astonishing; hidden dragon in the abyss will surely have its day of ascension; a mere Chen Cang, in front of us, how dare it claim to be the True Dragon?”

“Indeed, even though I am a relative newcomer, I heard the Lord is only thirty-two years old this year; by age alone, Landgrave Chu Longteng of Chen Cang has lived nearly ten times longer than the Lord, if he has slightly greater skills, it’s understandable; the Lord, as a latecomer, only needs time, so why be inferior?”

“Our Great Xia, from those initial hundred people at Mud Slope to now owning vast territories and three million citizens, all achieved in just fifteen years; once you return to Xia City and unify the Southern Slope Territory, our Great Xia’s domain will be able to rival the Four Vassals, and with millions behind us, under your leadership, it won’t take many years before we can compete with them!”

“Not to mention, my father once said, with the Lord’s talent and insight, if not for originating from the Southern Slope Territory, obtaining a Vassal Governor’s position, would be easy; without the Lord, for Great Xia to achieve today’s vision might take another hundred years, accomplishing what you’ve done in fifteen years from a hundred people to millions, who dare say, in another fifteen years, our Great Xia couldn’t surpass the Four Vassals?”

………

“Hahaha, you’re all comforting me now…”

Listening to Luo Ming, Jiang Xinfan, Chen Hua, Hong Yu, and seeing others wanting to speak one after another, Xia Hong suddenly laughed while waving his hand to interrupt them; after laughing, his eyes revealed a gleam of determination and he said: “Great Xia’s journey until today, the one thing I lack the least as the Lord is confidence!

I use dragon and python, ant and tree, to describe Great Xia and Chen Cang, to admonish myself, while also telling you to recognize the reality, accept the differences with others; after all, you are all currently undercover in Chen Cang, if you can’t recognize this, your actions might deviate.

No need to speak of Chen Cang alone, even the entire Moao River’s Four Vassals, I never truly hold them in regard?

Times change, who dares to assert Great Xia will always be a python, and it, Chen Cang, will eternally be a dragon?

Even if that’s the case, I must act to devour the dragon with a python, allowing Great Xia to shed its python skin, transform into the True Dragon, soar to the peak, dominate Moao Mountain, and leap into the Nine Heavens of Ice Abyss!”

Upon hearing these words from Xia Hong, Jiang Xinfan and the ten from Great Xia all showed a sudden jolt in their expressions, and then their demeanor became extraordinarily enthusiastic, directly bowing in unison, speaking in a solemn tone: “Lord, for ten thousand years, Great Xia, for ten thousand years!”
