Chapter 526: Chapter 233: Army Sets Out, Yang Lu’s Transformation, Mid-stage Cold Resistance
Great Xia Valley, Main Hall on the Top Floor
As usual, the main seat was still empty.
But an hour ago, Xia Chuan was still at Yangyuan Peak, now he was standing right in the center of the main hall, somewhat entranced by the patterns on the Cold Ruins Tripod.
On either side of the hall, Zhu Yuan, Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao, Lin Kai, and Lu Yang stood divided, their expressions somewhat excited.
"Greetings, Minister!"
Huang Yong and Hong Gang, who arrived late, found six people already standing in the hall. They immediately quickened their steps, paid their respects to Xia Chuan, and stood at the back.
"Sir, only Qiu Sizheng is missing!"
Zhu Yuan walked to the side of the Cold Ruins Tripod, gently reminding Xia Chuan.
Xia Chuan withdrew his thoughts, turned to look at the seven people in the hall, and his expression slightly braced:
"I just rushed back from Pingxi Plain, hardly resting along the way, time is of the essence, so I won’t waste words with you, I’ll be brief!"
From Yang Lu to the Beehive, then through Jing Valley, crossing the Arrow Bamboo Forest, and finally reaching Xia City, this distance is roughly about a hundred kilometers. Being familiar with the terrain and having Cold Resistance Level cultivation, Xia Chuan ran all the way, but even so, it still took more than half an hour.
"Qiu Peng is still notifying all the members of the Hunting Team one by one, he can’t come for now, so I’ll lay it out for you first..."
The seven in the hall were just awakened from their dreams by Qiu Peng, and they had learned some information about Pingxi Plain from his mouth, knowing that what Xia Chuan was going to say next was important, they immediately got in the spirit and listened carefully.
"On the night of April 25th, we successfully took the Beehive. A large number of prisoners have already been sent to Jing Valley, more than two hundred Earth-digging Realm, and four Cold Resistance Levels, all detained in Jing Valley, personally guarded by Yue Feng.
The entire Beehive area of over 700 square kilometers, and more than 29,000 people, now all belong to our Great Xia. Because there are too many people, large-scale migration is not very convenient, so only a portion of the important ones were screened and sent to Jing Valley first. Subsequently, if nothing unexpected happens, people should be sent back to the garrison side one after another."
Wow......
As Xia Chuan’s words fell, the eyes of the seven people suddenly froze, and the expressions that were already excited instantly added a few more intense touches of joy.
When Qiu Peng notified them just now, he only said that the Minister had won the victory, but he did not say it so specifically.
Over 700 square kilometers, more than 29,000 people, and four Cold Resistance Levels, two hundred plus Earth-digging Realm prisoners......
The key is, this is still a rough harvest. As a giant camp, the iron mines, coal mines under the Beehive, and other resources and materials, would definitely not be scarce.
"Big harvest, big harvest!"
"Congratulations to the Minister, flag high and victorious."
"The twenty Intermediate Hunting Teams did not go in vain, haha!"
.........
"Alright, no need to flatter me, the victory this time is first because the leader sent word in advance, giving us the advantage, and second, there were many coincidental factors that night, not much to do with the strength of our Great Xia!"
Xia Chuan raised his hand to suppress the cheers of the crowd, then lifted his expression and continued:
"As for the Longyou Alliance, you probably all know, Pingxi Plain is currently in internal strife, twelve camps are surrounding Long Mountain and Zhaoyang, attacking and annexing each other. Our successful capture of the Beehive amidst the chaos was based on this point.
Because we took the Beehive very quickly, and the subsequent information blockade was very tight, so right now, the entire remaining eleven of Longyou still do not know the existence of Great Xia, therefore, grasping this golden opportunity to take more territory is Great Xia’s most pressing task!"
The seven present were not only at Cold Resistance Level, but each led an Intermediate Hunting Team, normally leading hunting, and coordinating team members’ relationships, all of which were extremely mentally demanding tasks. Compared to the other people in the camp, their communication skills were already well practiced.
Therefore, they could extract the key information from Xia Chuan’s words instantly.
Internal strife in Pingxi Plain!
Moreover, the remaining eleven of Longyou do not know the existence of Great Xia.
This is not just an excellent opportunity, it is clearly a golden time!
In an instant, they realized why Xia Chuan was so urgent to rush back from Pingxi Plain, and why even before the night fell completely, he had Qiu Peng go door-to-door to notify people.
"There is no threat near Xia City, and the camp’s current stock of supplies is enough for us to use for a long time, so I only left Zhu Ling here to watch; Xu Ning is stationed at Wuyuan, and Yue Feng is in Jing Valley.
Currently, Yuwen Dao, Yuan Cheng, Luo Yuan, Hong Guang, Hong Tian, Meng Yi, Zhao Long, seven are all on the Pingxi Plain side, you seven, plus Qiu Peng, a total of eight, including me, a total of sixteen Cold Resistance Levels, the camp’s Cold Resistance Levels have almost all been deployed;
The twenty Intermediate Squads already sent over, and an additional twelve this time, plus another fifty elite low-level squads, making a total of 2600 people, is considered the strongest force we can currently muster in Great Xia;
The leader is also in Pingxi Plain, but he won’t appear for the time being, most likely he will only help in secret, so everything depends on us.
This time, whether or not Great Xia can firmly establish a foothold on Pingxi Plain and participate in the subsequent competition for the hegemon position of Longyou will depend on you!"
The seven present, all of their expressions suddenly shook.
Especially hearing the expectation contained in Xia Chuan’s last words, Lu Yang was particularly moved, clasping his hands in salute to Xia Chuan, excitedly saying:
"Minister, rest assured, to open up territory for Great Xia, Lu Yang will not shirk!"
