Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 678: Chapter 282: Humiliation and the Formation of the New Army (Part 3)

The structure of the Longyou Army is one Capital Commandant and four Colonels;

The Capital Commandant commands the entire army; the two Commanding Captains, each leading a group of five hundred men, are responsible for the actual command; each group is then assigned a Commanding Officer, who controls military discipline and battlefield discipline, including post-battle merit evaluations and rewards.

When they break through the Earth-digging Realm Limit at this time, they will inevitably be assigned to the new army. With only two groups of five hundred men, it is not difficult for Li Yuanqing to clandestinely arrange for the two of them to be incorporated under his command.

Therefore, escaping from his grasp is truly not just an empty statement.

”I’ll give you one last chance to tell me the secret of your accelerated cultivation progress...”

Li Yuanqing asked again, unwilling to give up, but seeing Li Hu and Yang Zhong remain silent, he finally lost patience and, with anger turning into laughter, said:

”Fine, fine, refuse the toast and take the penalty wine. In that case, I will ensure you don’t have a single chance to hunt every night. Without the income from Beast Meat, I want to see how you will exchange for Beast Blood and continue to break through!”

As soon as Li Yuanqing finished speaking, he turned around and left with Yang Gan.

The others followed the two of them out.

Inside the house, the two people lying on the ground remained motionless for a long time.

Only from the increasingly heavy breathing could it be sensed that their hearts were evidently not calm.

After a long while, the less injured Li Hu stood up first. Seeing the mess in the house, although his heart was full of rage, he still calmed down and went over to Yang Zhong, helping him up.

”Hu Zi, maybe we should first go to Great Xia and...”

”Don’t be foolish, I know what you want to say!”

Li Hu interrupted Yang Zhong directly, quietly picking up the things from the ground.

His tone became unusually calm as he continued: ”If we go to Great Xia now, we are nothing more than two homeless dogs. Not only would we let down the Minister who provided us with those cultivation materials, but it would also be difficult for us to make a name there in the future.”

After finishing, he paused for a moment and continued: ”This humiliation is more severe than before. Perhaps our increasing cultivation speed recently has made them apprehensive. It’s a good thing, there’s no need to be discouraged.”

Yang Zhong’s expression slightly solidified, still looking somewhat hesitant.

”But if we actually join that new army, Li Yuanqing...”

”Li Yuanqing isn’t that capable. If he were so strong, he wouldn’t just be a Commanding Officer. He merely uses his authority to withhold our cultivation materials when evaluating and rewarding merits, but we are different...”

Li Hu paused here, then looked up with eyes full of hatred and continued solemnly: ”Once we’re in the new army, we can reach the higher echelons of the camp and know all the movements of the Longyou Army. You tell me, is such information important to Great Xia and the Minister?”

Yang Zhong’s expression solidified, his eyes immediately lighting up.

”From what I know, the current number of Earth-digging Realm Limits in the camp is insufficient. The resources for establishing a new army are extremely vast, and Long Mountain would not form a new army for no reason. It is most likely that there are movements in the camp, and we must quickly relay this information to the Minister.”

Hearing Li Hu’s words, Yang Zhong nodded immediately but soon looked troubled.

”They’ve been watching too closely lately, even within the station. We have no opportunity to go out alone, so how can we send the message?”

”We’ll need to develop a reliable new person, one who’s unnoticed by Li Yuanqing and Yang Gan, to help us send the message.”

Xue Ping!

In an almost instant, this name appeared in Yang Zhong’s mind.
