Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 753: Chapter 305: Twists and Turns, Severed Arm and Head, Forced Withdrawal

”Chen Yingyuan, go, quickly return to the main building!”

Xia Chuan had lost the ability to move and could only walk with the support of Chen Yingyuan. As soon as he spoke, Chen Yingyuan immediately took him and ran towards the main building.

Hiss...

The Rodent was three to four times faster than the two of them. It broke through the ground and transformed into a golden light rushing towards the direction of the main building.

”Big brother, mobilize the army, attack the main building directly, hurry!”

Chen Yingyuan hadn’t gone far with Xia Chuan when he heard Li Xuanling’s furious shout behind him. At the same time, a fierce sword sound came from behind, and Chen Yingyuan’s expression changed dramatically. He immediately took Xia Chuan and fled frantically towards the main building.

”Both of you are severely injured, you were just pretending. You stalled for a long time just to delay time, trying to let people escape, dreaming!”

Fortunately, Xia Chuan always maintained a controlled distance. Although Li Xuanling reacted quickly, she didn’t catch up immediately. The two narrowly escaped into the army’s encirclement outside the main building.

”Xia Chuan, the Longyou Army has already arrived, don’t think about taking people and running away!”

Having pretended for a long time, Xia Chuan finally couldn’t hold it in, turning with a pale face to stare at Li Xuanling. Seeing the Longyou Army behind her quickly approaching, he scolded angrily, ”Li Xuanling, can’t you hear the sounds of those advanced Cold Beasts overhead? They’re about to come in. If you withdraw the Longyou Army now, there’s still hope. If you continue dragging it out like this, everyone from both of our families will die!”

Li Xuanling stood at the periphery of the main building army, expression unmoved, looked at Xia Chuan and said lightly, ”Those advanced Cold Beasts, weren’t they all attracted by that Holy Tripod? If you have a way to deal with them, I won’t let you go!”

After saying this, she paused and continued, ”If the Longyou Army perishes here today, don’t think any of you can escape either. We’ll all perish together. There are plenty of Cold Resistance Level in Long Mountain. If those advanced Cold Beasts come in, at worst I’ll just escape with them. And if all twenty Cold Resistance Levels of the Great Xia die here, in the end, we’ll still drive you out of Longyou!”

Seeing Li Xuanling becoming more and more crazed, Xia Chuan’s expression was also extremely conflicted.

The Longyou Army was already approaching, only three to four hundred meters from the main building. If they engaged in battle now, then truly everyone was on a path to death.

Bang...

The advanced Rodent that had just broken through the ground now climbed to the top level of the main building, obviously wanting to get close to the Cold Ruins Tripod. Several injured Cold Resistance Levels of the Great Xia were already engaging it.

Before he came to Li Xuanling, he had instructed Yue Feng to open up the passage between the top of the main building and the ground. At this point, Yue Feng should have already led people through the passage to escape to the ground, but the Great Xia had about six thousand people in total, making it impossible to get them out quickly.

This was why he deliberately sought out Li Xuanling to stall for time.

Realizing the advanced Cold Beasts had entered, his plan was not to extinguish the fire, so Li Xuanling would definitely lead the Longyou Army out of the underground. When as many people from the Great Xia escaped as possible, he would extinguish the fire at the last moment.

But who knew, Li Xuanling would be so crazy, betting he had a way to handle the advanced Cold Beasts. Not only did she not withdraw, but even pressed forward with the army in advance.

Extinguishing the fire of the Holy Tripod would cause the White Dew Gu to act;

Not extinguishing, and the advanced Cold Beasts would soon enter.

The problem was, whether or not he extinguished it, this madwoman Li Xuanling clearly didn’t intend to let it go, determined to drag them to death here.

At this moment, Xia Chuan wasn’t stuck between a rock and a hard place, but rather that anything he did wouldn’t work.

”Madwoman, madwoman, you madwoman, my big brother has long taken Long Mountain, even if you fight us to the last here, what can you do?”

”Taken Long Mountain? Ridiculous, Xia Hong’s strength may be great, but only with him, with your 1000 Cloud Dragon Army, thinking to take Long Mountain, what a joke...”

”A joke, 1000 Cloud Dragon Army of course can’t take Long Mountain, but what if with the Earth-digging Realms of the seven families of Zhaoyang, Changning, Song Yuan, White Abyss, Dongyuan, Xiling, and Yucheng?”

Suddenly, a voice that everyone was extremely familiar with came from the top of the main building.

”Yuwen Dao is back!”

”It’s the voice of Yuwen Sizheng.”

......

Xia Chuan, Chen Yingyuan, Yuan Cheng, Qiu Peng, Lin Kai, and others, all the Cold Resistance Levels of the Great Xia, including all the Earth-digging Realm below, instantly recognized who it was.

Wearing black, bearing a broad sword, Yuwen Dao held a strong bow. He first shot and knocked away the advanced Rodent entangled with Yuan Cheng and the others, then took out a bundle from behind and tossed it into the air, pulling out an Iron Arrow and aiming it at a building directly in front of the Longyou Army, shooting it directly.

Thud......

The bundle opened in the air, a human head and a severed arm falling from it, the Iron Arrow hitting two targets accurately, nailing the head and severed arm to the top of that building.

”That head is... Li Xuankong?”

”Lord Xuankong? Wasn’t he stationed at Long Mountain?”

”Didn’t you hear? The Great Xia Leader led 1000 Cloud Dragon Army to attack Long Mountain!”

”Whose severed arm is that?”

......

The severed arm and the head entered the vision of all the soldiers of the Longyou Army, and everyone immediately recognized the owner of that head.

Many smarter soldiers had already noted what Yuwen Dao had just said, and most soldiers focused their eyes on the severed arm.

The severed arm was covered with a white sleeve with silver lines woven on it, clearly precious. Although stained with blood, the wrinkled skin still showed the owner was clearly very old.

”That’s father’s...”

”Fool, shut up!”

Before Li Xuanping could finish speaking, Li Xuanling interrupted angrily.

However, the soldiers of Longyou were not foolish either. Even without Li Xuanping’s words, many had identified the owner of the severed arm through the white sleeve.

”That arm belongs to the Heavenly Ancestor!”

”Heavenly Ancestor, his arm was cut off, something happened at Long Mountain.”

”Long Mountain was taken by Xia Hong and his men?”

”How could 1000 Cloud Dragon Army possibly take Long Mountain?”

”Didn’t you hear? That man just said, the Earth-digging Realms of the seven families of Zhaoyang, Changning, Song Yuan, White Abyss, Dongyuan, Xiling, and Yucheng are all supporting them.”

......

”The Iron Stake Wall of Long Mountain is indeed formidable, but it’s a pity that the hearts of the people of Long Mountain aren’t united. With the betrayal of the families of Changning, Song Yuan, and Yucheng, and with internal assistance, the Iron Stake Wall was breached in just one night.

Li Tiancheng has already had an arm cut off by my leader. Of the five Cold Resistance Levels left at your base, one has been beheaded, and three severely injured.

Right now, Li Tiancheng is using the lives of more than ten thousand people here to block my leader. Li Xuanling, surrender. Long Mountain has already been defeated. From now on, Longyou will be territory of the Great Xia.”

As the discussions among the Longyou soldiers spread, Yuwen Dao’s voice timely echoed again from above the main building.

Yuwen Dao’s words, together with Li Tiancheng’s severed arm and Li Xuankong’s head on the wall, instantly broke the morale of the Longyou Army soldiers.

”Our base was breached, why are we still fighting here?”

”Go back, hurry and return to Long Mountain, my family is still there.”

”The families of Changning, Song Yuan, and Yucheng were forcibly annexed after the leader’s assassination. The Earth-digging Realms of these families already harbored resentment. With external support, rebellion is indeed possible.”

”Return to Long Mountain, we can’t stay here any longer!”

”There are still four hours until dawn, there’s still a chance to return, leader.”

”Leader, the base must not be lost, retreat!”

......

Not only did the soldiers start requesting a retreat and to return to aid Long Mountain, even several Cold Resistance Levels nearby couldn’t help but speak up.

Li Xuanling clenched her fists tightly, turning to look at the Great Xia’s main building so close to the south side. Despite her face being full of struggle and reluctance, she finally released her fists and slowly spoke, ”Retreat!”

After speaking, her expression immediately turned listless, as if saying those two words had already drained all the energy from her body.
