Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1604: Chapter 504: What Are We Waiting For? Soul Fragrance, War Begins (Part 2)

The newcomer was none other than the former Commander of the Xiao Mountain Army, Xiao Kangcheng.

Xiao Kangcheng landed directly in front of everyone, motioned to the others with a wave of his hand, and then with a smile, cupped his hands towards Mu Longhe.

“Lord Xiao, it’s good that you’ve arrived. If you hadn’t, I, the old man, could still wait, but they are almost pressing me to order an attack…”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kangcheng was taken aback, and then seeing Mu Qinghe and Xiahou Cen among the generals behind him, he immediately laughed and said, “It seems all the generals are eager for battle! No rush, let me first scout a bit!”

After joking, his expression suddenly turned serious. He turned to look towards the Central Yang Camp, raised his hands slightly, and dozens of strands of glowing green aura started emanating from his hands.

These green strands of aura rapidly danced in his palms, seemingly trying to escape control but unable to do so. After several attempts, they began crashing towards different directions.

There were 36 strands of spiritual light in total, 33 of which were breaking through towards the east and south; only 3 strands crashed towards the west.

At the moment, to everyone’s west was the Central Yang Camp.

“Three of them, Beishuo sure hid a hand!”

Seeing the state of the green aura strands, Mu Longhe immediately reacted, with his spirit slightly lifting, confirming his suspicions.

Xiao Kangcheng’s power wasn’t strong. Last year, he broke through to the Xianyang Level, and now his strongest power was less than 4 jun.

But he had a formidable technique, which was tracking.

Thanks to the Soul Fragrance Green Jade he fused last year, Xiao Kangcheng could mark all Xianyang Levels, and this mark from the green aura strands was virtually lifelong. At least so far, apart from Yellow Candle and individuals with extremely strong soul bodies like Xu Ning, who could clear the marks themselves, Great Xia hadn’t found any other method to remove them.

With such means, how could Great Xia not plan in advance?

Xiao Kangcheng organized the Xiao Mountain Army the year before last, broke through to the Xianyang Level last year, and after fusing the Soul Fragrance Green Jade, Xia Chuan directly made him relinquish the position of Commander of the Xiao Mountain Army and appointed him as the Vice Building Master of the Treasure Tower, just to allow him easy access to the Xianyang Levels of the Northern Five Towns and to mark them in advance.

“Lord Xiao, you came from Yangqu, right? How’s the situation there?”

Mu Longhe already knew about the change of ownership of Dragon Valley Town. He was well aware that the main target of Great Xia’s northern expedition this time was the five big towns. After the change of ownership of Dragon Valley, the next step was inevitably to resolve the isolated Yangqu, which was why he asked.

Xiao Kangcheng did indeed come from Yangqu. He frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, “Director Yuan has already led the army to completely encircle Yangqu. Cao Qianyang is stubborn, unyielding to coercion or persuasion, refusing to surrender. Director Yuan speculates that aid from Cai Qiu and Chen Cang must have arrived, so he hasn’t rushed to attack the city, only sending messages to the other three armies.”

Aid from the feudal towns has arrived!

Mu Longhe frowned and shook his head instinctively, saying, “That can’t be right, can it? If help from Chen Cang and Cai Qiu arrived, why are there only three Xianyang here? By the way, just now you detected Yang Qin and Yang Ping, who’s the third Xianyang level?”

“Duan Heyang, with only 2 jun of power!”

Upon hearing that the third Xianyang Level’s power was only 2 jun, Mu Longhe’s expression immediately relaxed. Then he turned to look at the Central Yang Camp, his face slightly lifted, clearly starting to calculate in his mind.

Meanwhile, Xiao Kangcheng appeared confused, pondering over Mu Longhe’s earlier words about the two vassal towns’ aids arriving yet finding only three Xianyangs here at the Central Yang Camp.

“Since the other side has three Xianyang levels, we should ensure stability. The Xiao Mountain Army is conveniently stationed in the Allies’ Five Camps—since Lord Xiao is here, unless there’s other urgent business, why not stay and help us take the city? As Commander, I guarantee it’ll be over in less than three hours, before dawn.”
