Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Pfft… Pfft… Pfft…

In the main area of the Hive, the sound of iron arrows piercing flesh rose and fell incessantly. The casualties among Zhao Yang's forces increased again. Noticing that the arrow rain from Da Xia in the rear was becoming even denser, their actions of charging towards the Hive became even more desperate.

"Charge! There is only a glimmer of hope if we charge through! Don't stay here and wait to die!"

Hou Ming slashed open the front ranks of the Hive's crowd with a single strike, roaring furiously.

Hou Bing and Hou Ying, one wielding a sword and the other a staff, followed closely behind.

Even though they were missing Lin Ye, the simultaneous charge of the three Yu Han level experts immediately tore a large opening in the Hive's defensive line.

The densely packed Zhao Yang forces, following that opening, finally surged into the main area's building complex. Hundreds of people in the front ranks immediately mixed with the Hive's forces, engaging in close combat.

"Charge faster! Once we're mixed together, it will be harder for Da Xia to shoot arrows!"

Hou Ying smashed over a dozen people in front of him with his staff. Turning his head and seeing the people in the rear continuing to fall under Da Xia's iron arrows, he roared furiously with eyes wide open, directly turning back and charging back, waving his long staff with both hands to block arrows for the people in the rear.

Unfortunately, there were simply too many iron arrows being shot over by Da Xia.

Even if he swung his long staff until it sparked, it was ultimately just a drop in the bucket.

Like the vast majority of camps in the Bing Yuan World, the Da Xia people's archery skills had long been honed to perfection through countless hunting expeditions. Moreover, the thousands of people who came this time were all members of intermediate hunting squads, so their archery skills were even more exceptional.

The moment Hou Ying came out to resist, the crowd aimed their longbows at other locations, avoiding him.

Pfft… Pfft… Pfft… Pfft…

Seeing his subordinates continuing to fall, Hou Ying was anxious and furious. Under the influence of anger, he looked back at the thousands of Da Xia people and directly charged over.

"Hou Ying, come back! Don't go over there!"

Hou Ming, who was at the front, had already charged into the middle of the Hive's forces. Glancing at Hou Ying's actions, he immediately roared, trying to stop him.

"People are almost all dead! We can't let them continue shooting!"

Unfortunately, Hou Ying had already been blinded by anger.

After all, he possessed Yu Han level strength. In addition, the vast majority of the iron arrows shot by Da Xia could not break through his skin. Hou Ying's desperate posture still shocked many people, and he immediately charged to the very front of Da Xia's forces.

Whoosh…

Hou Ying suddenly leaped up, raising his long staff with both hands, splitting down from above. The rising gale actually made the front ranks of Da Xia's forces subconsciously take two steps back.

"What are you panicking about? Keep shooting!"

Seeing the front ranks of his forces retreat, Yuwen Tao frowned and scolded angrily. Then, he raised his broadsword and directly charged towards Hou Ying.

"Meng Yi, stay here and command the army! Hong Guang, go to the front and help Si Cheng!"

Clang…

The broadsword and the long staff collided fiercely. Hou Ying's body, like a cannonball, was blasted backwards, flying out more than ten meters. The anger on his face instantly cleared up. Looking at Yuwen Tao, his eyes were full of horror.

He now realized that Lin Ye had said that Yuwen Tao's base strength was as high as five zong, more than twice his own.

Seeing that Meng Yi, who had not moved, was still behind Yuwen Tao, a chill ran down his back.

Can't fight, must run!

Yuwen Tao watched Hong Guang sweep past the large crowd, charging towards Xia Chuan at the rear of the main area. Only then did he concentrate on looking back at Hou Ying, who was running away frantically, with a cold smile on his face, and said, "It's too late to run now."

The broadsword went ahead, and his body was like an arrow shot from a bow, rushing forward with the broadsword. In less than three breaths, he caught up with Hou Ying.

Whoosh…

The giant broadsword swept out a gust of wind in mid-air. A violent force attacked from behind. Hou Ying looked at the Zhao Yang crowd that was very close. He gritted his teeth and did not turn his head, but simply wrapped his hands around his back and raised his long staff vertically.

Clang!

The immense force on the broadsword struck fiercely. Hou Ying's long staff successfully blocked the broadsword's horizontal edge, protecting his body.

His body was protected, but the force on the broadsword directly slammed him to the ground, his upper body crashing down with a loud bang.

Hou Ying's forehead, nose, chest, and lower limbs were instantly covered in blood.

"Pfft…"

A mouthful of reversed blood spurted out. Before Hou Ying could even get up, a cold feeling came from the back of his neck. Knowing that Yuwen Tao had placed his broadsword on it, his face froze and he dared not move again.

Yuwen Tao did not kill him, but made a gesture to Meng Yi behind him.

Meng Yi understood and waved his hand. Four people immediately rushed out from the Da Xia crowd.

Each of the four held a thick iron chain with a hook, pulled Hou Ying up from the ground, and directly pierced his pipa bone in front of his chest with the hook.

Pfft…

Hou Ying's entire person instantly wilted, and he was dragged down by the four.

"Zhao Yang only has more than three hundred people left. Is that enough?"

Hearing Meng Yi's words, Yuwen Tao turned his head to look at the battlefield in the main area of the Hive. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head slightly.

"The Hive only lost more than a hundred people in the past two days. The damage isn't great. There are at least six hundred more Digging Earth realm experts in the main area. Si Cheng said that there are too many Digging Earth realm experts in the Hive, and it's not suitable for us to control. So we have to wait a little longer!"

Looking at the two forces still fighting in the main area, Meng Yi raised his head and glanced at Xia Chuan at the very back, and a chill could not help rising in his heart.

"You continue to stay here. If it's not good to shoot arrows, then guard the iron gate well. We've already formed a deadly feud with this group of Zhao Yang people, so we can't let a single one escape."

"Yes, sir!"

Meng Yi nodded in agreement and returned behind him to continue commanding the Da Xia army.

Yuwen Tao then raised his broadsword and continued to charge forward.

…

"Hou Ming, stop for me!"

Hou Ming was frantically slaughtering the Hive's forces when he heard Chen Yingba's roar from behind. He immediately raised his saber and turned to resist.

Clang…

Although both of them used sabers, Hou Ming's was clearly superior in quality.

Chen Yingba's saber was not only chipped, but even a fragment was sent flying. Coincidentally, that fragment happened to hit the center of the eyebrows of a Digging Earth realm expert from the Hive.

That person was fighting head-on with a Digging Earth realm expert from Zhao Yang. The saber fragment hit the center of his eyebrows, and his head directly exploded, without even letting out a scream.

"You bastard, I'll kill you!"

Seeing this, Chen Yingba's anger grew even more intense. Holding the broken saber, he continued to charge towards Hou Ming desperately.

The Hive only had a total of more than seven hundred Digging Earth realm experts. More than a hundred died in the passage in the past two days. Just now, at least four hundred more died. The Digging Earth realm experts who are still alive now only add up to more than two hundred people.

This is only the casualties of the Digging Earth realm. In order to defend the main area, the Hive has almost moved out in full force at this moment. More than two thousand elite Logging Wood realm experts have also come. The group of Zhao Yang people were too stimulated by Da Xia's arrow rain, and they all charged towards the main area desperately. How could these Logging Wood realm experts stop them.

According to his rough estimate, the Hive's more than three thousand guards now only have less than two thousand left.

Moreover, Hou Ming, Hou Bing, and Wu Tianxing are still continuing to kill.

If the three continue to kill, the Hive will be removed from Longyou in the future!

Clang…

Under the circumstances of Chen Yingba's anger and anxiety, he once again collided fiercely with Hou Ming's saber. This time, he didn't have the luck of last time.

The saber broke in response. The previous chipping had already proved that his weapon was not as good as Hou Ming's. This time's breakage was also within reason.

"Xia Chuan, do you have to wait until all of my Hive's people are dead before you take action!"

With his saber broken, realizing that he could not deal with Hou Ming alone, Chen Yingba raised his head and roared, signaling Xia Chuan next to him to help quickly.

"Chief Chen, we've never been idle!"

Whoosh…

While Xia Chuan responded to Chen Yingba with a faint smile, he slashed out a black saber edge, not only forcing Wu Tianxing in front of him to retreat step by step, but also leaving many saber marks on his body.

Of course he hadn't been idle. After letting go of Chen Yingba to stop Hou Ming, he took Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, and four others to find Wu Tianxing, Hou Bing, and Lin Ye.

Among the three, Wu Tianxing was the strongest, so he was responsible for him; although Lin Ye also had six zong of strength, he was already seriously injured at this moment, so he was handed over to Hong Tian and Zhao Long; the last one, Hou Bing, was besieged by Luo Yuan and Yuan Cheng.

"Chief Chen, seeking cooperation with a tiger will inevitably lead to harm. You don't think that Da Xia sincerely came to help the Hive, do you?"

Hou Ming forced Chen Yingba back with a saber. Glancing at the three of his own people who were being besieged, a look of anxiety first appeared on his face, and then he sneered at Chen Yingba.

"It's better than you wanting to destroy my Hive!"

Chen Yingba clenched his fists tightly, but gritted his teeth and roared angrily, still charging towards Hou Ming without hesitation.

How could he not understand Hou Ming's words?

Wu Tianxing was fine, after all, he had six zong of strength and was the strongest;

Even Hou Bing could be understood. Luo Yuan and Yuan Cheng, who were besieging him, didn't seem to be strong. From the current performance, they seemed to only have two zong;

The only one was Lin Ye, who was already seriously injured. Under the siege of two Yu Han level experts, he was actually able to persist for so long, which was obviously abnormal.

The only explanation was that Hong Tian and Zhao Long, who were besieging him, were doing it on purpose.

Moreover, the acting skills of Xia Chuan and the other five were really too bad.

They always intentionally or unintentionally forced the three of Hou Ming near the Hive's Digging Earth realm crowd. The intention was simply too obvious.

"Intentionally letting them continue to kill our Digging Earth realm experts, Da Xia…"

Even if Chen Yingba hated it so much that he gritted his teeth, he had to honestly put in effort to deal with Hou Ming. Thinking that he was still helping Da Xia deal with Hou Ming, he felt even more aggrieved.

At the same time, there was also a deep sense of powerlessness.

Even if he saw it, what could he do?

It was too late to cooperate with Hou Ming now.

Hou Ying was captured. The thousands of Digging Earth realm experts from Da Xia, wearing light golden armor, were still guarding the iron gate and shooting arrows. They hadn't taken action from beginning to end.

The Digging Earth realm level was still like this, let alone the Yu Han level aspect.

The Hive only had him left as a single seedling; Zhao Yang only had Hou Ming, Hou Bing, Wu Tianxing left, and a half-dead Lin Ye, which added up to five;

And Da Xia had Xia Chuan, Yuwen Tao, Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, Hong Guang, Zhao Long, Hong Tian, and Meng Yi at the door, a full eight.

Right now, even if he quickly reached a cooperation with Zhaoyang, it would be impossible to defeat Great Xia, and he would suffer even heavier retaliation from Great Xia for being fickle.

“I can only go all the way to the dark!”

Chen Yingba gritted his teeth and roared, venting all his pent-up frustration on Hou Ming.

On the other side, Xia Chuan always had a smile on his face. His attention was not even entirely on Wu Tianxing. He was always using the corner of his eye to observe the situation on the main battlefield between the Hive and Zhaoyang.

“Almost there!”

Wu Tianxing blocked the black knife with his long sword, and his expression froze when he heard Xia Chuan's words.

What was almost there?

Soon, he knew!

Buzz…

The latest novels are first published on 6_9_书_吧!

The black knife, pressing down on the long sword, suddenly emitted a roar. The terrifying force crushed down, and Wu Tianxing's hand holding the sword was directly crushed to the ground, and his body also crashed down.

Bang!

“Ba Zong, how could your strength possibly be…”

Wu Tianxing lay on the ground, his face full of horror.

The strength Xia Chuan had used when fighting him just now was only Six Zong. How could it suddenly increase to Eight Zong? How was that possible?

It couldn't be a deliberate concealment of strength. In close combat, he could clearly see Xia Chuan's Qi muscle movements. He was definitely using his full strength.

Then how did that power suddenly surge?

Crack…

A sound of bones cracking was heard, and Xia Chuan stepped on Wu Tianxing's shoulder, using the black knife to hold it against his neck.

Wu Tianxing endured the severe pain and looked up, instantly stunned.

Three vertical blood-colored cloud patterns actually appeared between Xia Chuan's eyebrows;

“Bang…”

At this moment, Lin Ye on the other side was also directly knocked to the ground by Zhao Long and Hong Tian, with a broadsword and a long sword respectively placed on Lin Ye's neck.

Crack… Crack…

Hou Bing was even more miserable. First, his shoulder was pierced by Luo Yuan's barrier blade, and then he was smashed more than a hundred meters away by Yuan Cheng's giant axe, with countless bones broken, unable to even crawl.

Yuwen Tao, who arrived last, picked up Hou Bing from the ground and walked directly to this side, standing together with Xia Chuan and the others.

Not only Wu Tianxing, but the others also noticed.

Three blood-colored cloud patterns appeared between the eyebrows of Xia Chuan, Yuwen Tao, Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, Zhao Long, Hong Tian, Hong Guang, including Meng Yi at the iron gate, all eight of Great Xia.

“That… that is… what…”

Hearing Wu Tianxing's question from below, Xia Chuan's face showed a hint of pride, and he said with a faint smile: “Great Xia Sacred Mark!”

Hearing these four words, the nearby Yuwen Tao and the other six looked slightly stern, with a hint of pride between their eyebrows.

Wu Tianxing, Lin Ye, Hou Bing, the three captured, all had expressions of frustration on their faces. If they still couldn't react now, they would have lived in vain.

The five of Xia Chuan who fought against them just now clearly didn't use their full strength.

“Hou Ming, don't struggle anymore, just surrender.”

“You're dreaming!”

Hou Ming, who was fighting Chen Yingba in the distance, roared back after hearing Xia Chuan's voice, and ran directly towards the iron gate.

He saw the capture of Wu Tianxing and the other four. Zhaoyang's Digging Realm experts had only two or three hundred left, unable to resist at all. It was futile for him to stay here, he could only run first.

However, at the iron gate, Meng Yi led thousands of people and had already blocked the passage. Seeing Hou Ming running towards him, Meng Yi, including everyone from Great Xia, all raised their longbows and aimed at him.

“From the moment you brought people in two days ago, the outcome was doomed!”

Xia Chuan chased after Hou Ming, and the black knife drew a cold edge in the air. The power of Eight Zong swept out a gust of wind, crushing towards Hou Ming's body.

Hou Ming was still unwilling to surrender, and even seeing Xia Chuan rushing towards him, he seemed to have a new idea, turned around directly, and brazenly fought against him with his broadsword.

Crack…

The sound of the broadsword's edge chipping was heard, and a hint of joy appeared on Hou Ming's face.

The main material of the broadsword in his hand, like Hou Ying's long staff, was iron, but the surface was plated with a layer of silver, which was much stronger in toughness and sharpness than iron. This was also why he was able to cut off Chen Yingba's broadsword just now.

Now that this sound was heard again, he naturally thought that Xia Chuan's black knife had chipped. Although he felt that Xia Chuan's strength was comparable to his own, the advantage in weapons still made him decide to pursue the victory.

He exerted force with both arms again, and the broadsword crushed towards Xia Chuan, trying to force him back, and then he could…

However, his expression froze when he looked up at the broadsword.

It wasn't Xia Chuan's black knife that had chipped just now, but his own knife.

This… how is this possible?

Hou Ming's face was full of disbelief, and finally solidified on his face.

Bang…

Xia Chuan blocked his broadsword, and with a slight flick of his left hand, a white silk thread directly pierced through Hou Ming's pipa bone, and then quickly wrapped around his entire body.

“Hou Ming, Wu Tianxing, Lin Ye, Hou Bing, and Hou Ying have all been captured. Those from Zhaoyang who don't want to die, obediently put down your weapons and surrender!”

As early as the moment Hou Ming ran away, the remaining two hundred or so people from Zhaoyang didn't want to resist anymore. Xia Chuan's words naturally became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Zhaoyang people who had already stopped, dropped the weapons in their hands one after another, and bowed down to Great Xia.

“You want to surrender now? No way, I must kill you.”

“My father was killed by them, I want revenge!”

“Keep killing, brothers, we can't let them live.”

…

The Zhaoyang people stopped, but the Hive people were not happy now!

Not to mention the previous two days, in the battle just now, the Hive had more than a thousand people killed. The remaining people had already been blinded by the killing, how could they be willing to stop.

Seeing more and more people from Zhaoyang surrendering, they continued to attack with their knives relentlessly. In just three or four breaths, five or six unprepared Zhaoyang people were killed.

A Hive Digging Realm expert rushed behind a Zhaoyang person who had already surrendered, raised the butcher knife in his hand, and was about to chop off his head.

Puchi…

However, as the butcher knife fell, an iron arrow suddenly shot from the outside, directly piercing the person's eyebrows, nailing his body to the ground.

Meng Yi at the iron gate, holding the iron tire bow in his hand, put another iron arrow on it, while aiming at the remaining Hive people, he said coldly:

“Anyone who dares to move again will be killed without mercy!”

Those Hive people who had been blinded by the killing, saw the corpse nailed to the ground, their bodies jolted, and they immediately sobered up a lot, all maintaining their previous posture, standing motionless in place.

The Zhaoyang people kneeling on the ground suddenly felt at ease; those Zhaoyang people who had not yet surrendered, although they remained motionless in place, dropped their weapons one after another, obviously also planning to surrender.

“Okay, the Hive people clean up, the rest of you come with me to the main building, Chen Yingba, lead the way!”

Xia Chuan, the leader, gave Meng Yi an approving look, then gave an order and directly ordered Chen Yingba.

A flush of red crept onto Chen Yingba's face, and he subconsciously wanted to retort, but seeing the Great Xia troops at the iron gate, all began to enter the main area buildings one after another, he immediately closed his mouth and led Xia Chuan and the others to the main building.

“Tch! This Great Xia isn't a good thing either…”

“Hush… don't talk nonsense.”

…

Even if the Hive people were stupid, they could react at this moment.

Some with big tempers couldn't help but curse directly, but they were stopped by the people around them before they finished cursing.

Meng Yi led thousands of Great Xia people, escorting five Cold Resistance level and more than two hundred Digging Realm prisoners from Zhaoyang, walking through the main area buildings in a crowd, pretending not to hear the whispers of the Hive people around, and followed Xia Chuan and the others all the way to the Hive's main building.

After arriving, Meng Yi quickly deployed troops and surrounded the main building, and then directly opened his mouth to the Hive people:

“Who is Cheng Ping, stand up.”

Cheng Ping, whose name was called in the crowd, showed a hint of excitement on his face, quickly stood up, and bowed to Meng Yi: “Greetings, Lord!”

“You will temporarily be in charge of these Hive people. Take them to clean up the battlefield, count the casualties, and report any situation to me.”

“I obey!”

Cheng Ping realized that he was likely to rise to the top in one step, his expression was immediately excited, he nodded and bowed, and quickly bossed around the Hive people, directing them to work.

Cheng Ping's petty success under the main building will not be mentioned for the time being.

Top floor of the main building, inside the Hive's council hall.

At this moment, the Great Xia people were sitting on both sides, their expressions extremely excited.

At this moment, the Hive was completely taken down!

Next, we need to consider the prisoners and the next step.

Xia Chuan directly took out a map from his arms, which was the distribution map of the Hive's surrounding camps that Xia Hong had sent back through Luo Ming. Looking at Yanglu and Yucheng on the west side of the Hive, and Wushuang, Zhaoyang, and Hanqiong on the north side, he began to brew the next plan.

Looking at Xia Chuan sitting in his elder brother Chen Yingyuan's position, and the seven Great Xia Cold Resistance level experts who treated him as their master, Chen Yingba's face flushed red, obviously extremely angry.

But looking back at the five Cold Resistance level experts from Hou Ming kneeling on the ground, he opened his mouth but still held back, not daring to speak.

As things stood, the only difference between him and Hou Ming and the other five was probably that he wasn't injured.

In essence, he was also one of Great Xia's prisoners.

“The Hive is finished!”

A trace of sadness flashed in Chen Yingba's heart, and he directly closed his eyes.
