Chapter 205: Mob, Four Camps Bow

"Alright, you stay here tonight!"

Xu An took Xiang Liang to his Golden Sword team's wooden cabin, arranged a room for him, and turned to leave directly.

"My lord..."

Xu An, who was about to walk out of the room, turned back to see Xiang Liang, who was hesitant to speak. After raising his eyebrows slightly, he said: "Speak directly if you have something to say."

A hint of hesitation appeared on Xiang Liang's face, and then he gritted his teeth and said:

"My lord, the humble one knows that Great Xia's strength is very strong, but Flying Tiger, together with Yang Ping and Yue Ming, plus they likely also coerced the He Feng camp, a total of four families, have at least over a hundred Earth-Digging Realms, and hundreds of Woodcutting Realms.

That Garrison Commander just now, only took two teams. Isn't there too few people? I'm worried..."

Xiang Liang didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already very obvious.

In his view, this Great Xia's strength was very strong, but it was a bit overconfident. Judging from the number of people in Xu An's team, Great Xia's two teams had at most forty or fifty people. With so few people, wanting to deal with four camps was no different from a fool's dream.

"Why, are you afraid we can't beat those four camps of Flying Tiger?"

Xu An looked at Xiang Liang, his tone carrying a hint of ridicule. Thinking of those four camps, a hint of disdain immediately appeared in the depths of his eyes.

However, knowing that Xiang Liang was reminding him, he didn't say much, just looked outside the door and showed a hint of a smile: "Follow me!"

After speaking, he took the lead and walked out. Xiang Liang didn't know why, so he followed behind him, and soon walked to the cave entrance with him.

Outside the cave entrance was the wooden cabin. Xu An walked out first, and Xiang Liang also followed out full of suspicion.

Walking out of the cave entrance, raising his head to see the scene in the wooden cabin clearly, Xiang Liang's expression stalled, and his whole person froze instantly.

His mouth trembled, and after shaking for a long time, he slowly spoke:

"This... gulp..."

In the middle of the wooden cabin, three square formations were standing full at the moment.

Each square formation had five rows, with ten people in each row.

Adding the three square formations together, it was one hundred and fifty people.

Just people alone were certainly not enough to make Xiang Liang have such a reaction.

The problem was that among these one hundred and fifty people before his eyes, nearly one-third were all wearing pale golden armor, exactly the same as the ones on Xu Ning and Lin Kai just now;

The remaining two-thirds were also wearing pure black armor of the same style as the two, and one look told you it was made of iron;

One hundred and fifty people, not only did everyone have an iron-backed bow on their back, and held all kinds of main weapons in their hands, but they also had three or four short weapons tucked at their waists;

These weapons, combined with a suit of iron armor, plus a helmet that almost covered the entire head, these people only revealed half of their faces, almost armed to the teeth.

They just stood in three square formations like this, without saying a word. Just standing there gave people an extremely strong sense of oppression.

"This suit of iron armor is at least two or three thousand jin, plus the bows and arrows on their backs, the main weapons in their hands, and the equipped short weapons, the weight of this equipment alone is at least over four thousand jin, that is to say..."

That is to say, just forging the equipment worn by these one hundred and fifty people before his eyes would consume at least six hundred thousand jin of iron ore.

This didn't even count the loss, as well as the manpower and material resources to be invested!

What he calculated was just iron ore.

The pale golden armor worn by one-third of the people, he couldn't even tell what material it was, and its value was clearly higher than the black armor.

Even without mentioning value.

Just saying that they could move freely while carrying over four thousand jin of heavy equipment, what cultivation realm these one hundred and fifty people were in was already very clear.

Earth-Digging Realm, one hundred and fifty people, all in the Earth-Digging Realm...

No, no, no, not just that.

Xiang Liang followed Xu An and got a little closer, randomly finding a person in the back row wearing black iron armor. After observing carefully, his pupils condensed.

A look of disbelief appeared on his face, and he found another one.

But after watching for a while, his expression froze again.

Randomly picking more than a dozen to observe, Xiang Liang finally withdrew his gaze, cold sweat streaming down his forehead, and his back was wet.

"Every one, every one gives me the feeling that they are stronger than my father. Not only stronger than my father, the ones in the front row wearing pale golden armor are not just a little bit stronger than my father. This... this... how is this possible!"

Xiang Liang's father, Xiang Ping, was the leader of the He Feng camp. He had broken through to the Earth-Digging Realm for four or five years, and his basic strength reached as high as fourteen thousand. Although he was not the first among the four camps north of the mountain, he was still a top-tier powerhouse.

Among these one hundred and fifty people before his eyes, not one was weaker than his father.

Only at this moment did Xiang Liang truly realize that the people he saw when he first entered the wooden cabin were just the tip of the iceberg of Great Xia.

"Among your four camps north of the mountain, the strongest should be Wang Lie of the Flying Tiger camp, with a basic strength of seventeen thousand; followed by He Feng of Yang Ping, with a basic strength of fifteen thousand; then your father Xiang Ping with fourteen thousand; Liu Qing of Yue Ming has only thirteen thousand;

Flying Tiger 38, Yang Ping 32, Yue Ming 30, your He Feng 29, the Earth-Digging Realms of the four camps add up to a total of 129 people;

Each camp has about two hundred Woodcutting Realms, adding up to a total of 942 people;

The Flying Tiger station is two miles west of the mountain wall on the northern foothills, Yang Ping station is at..."

As Xu An beside him spoke slowly, listing the strength of the strongest, the number of Earth-Digging Realms and Woodcutting Realms, the overall population situation, and even the accurate locations of the four camp stations, including He Feng, one by one.

From the initial shock of raising his head to the numbness later, Xiang Liang was already numb.

"Worried that we can't beat the four camps north of the mountain..."

Xu An didn't wait for Xiang Liang to speak. After finishing, he paused, a hint of arrogance appeared on his face, and he continued: "Seventeen thousand jin of basic strength, in our Great Xia camp, doesn't even have the qualification to create a hunting team, let alone your four families combined. Even if forty families, a hundred families came, to our Great Xia, they would be nothing more than a mob that can be wiped out with a wave of a hand!"

If it were before, Xu An saying this, Xiang Liang certainly wouldn't believe it.

But at this moment, looking at these one hundred and fifty people wearing iron armor and fully armed, even if Xu An's words were already a bit unbelievable, he couldn't help but believe it.

Coincidentally at this time, Xu Ning took Lin Kai and Lu Yang and happened to walk in front of those one hundred and fifty people.

Just now in the cave hall, only Xu Ning and Lin Kai were wearing gold armor, and Lu Yang was wearing casual clothes. At this moment, he also put on gold armor, holding a thin and narrow long saber in his hand.

Xu Ning walked in front of the square formation in the middle, turned back to look at Lu Yang and Lin Kai, and seeing the two shrug slightly to signal, he nodded. Facing the crowd below, he first grinned and laughed a few times.

"Hehe..."

Xu Ning's right eye was blind, and a grin and laugh was actually very ferocious.

But the crowd below clearly also knew what they were going to do later, and seeing him grin and laugh, they also laughed one after another.

"Hahahaha, my lord, your mouth is split like a flower."

"Over five thousand people, just the contribution value is enough to make a big profit."

"And there are so many Earth-Digging Realms. It was them who took the initiative to attack, it's not us bullying people. Over a hundred Earth-Digging Realm captives, they can help me dig mines for a long time."

"Don't fight with me, I only need to get one."

"You think quite beautifully. With our one hundred and fifty people, plus the lord and two captains, the Earth-Digging Realms of those four camps north of the mountain aren't enough for one each. Whether you can capture them alive depends on your ability."

"Is my strength worse than yours? Bet 100 contribution points, I will capture at least one alive this time, do you believe it?"

"100 is called a bet? At least bet 500."

"500? No bet, no bet. If my wife knows I bet so big, she won't scold me to death."

"Hahahaha..."

Below, you say a word and I say a word, and the atmosphere suddenly became happy.

Seeing that everyone was joking with each other, Xu Ning also smiled and continued:

"Cough, cough, alright, alright, I know you are excited at this moment, all shut up for me first, listen to my arrangement..."

As the Wuyuan Garrison Commander of Great Xia, Xu Ning naturally possessed a certain prestige. As soon as he spoke, everyone immediately stopped joking, all stood still, and looked up at him with solemn expressions.

"Whether Wang Lie has gathered the Earth-Digging Realms of the three camps together is still unclear. Tomorrow is the year-end, time is tight. In order not to delay everyone's return for the New Year, I'm too lazy to send people to scout first. Our three teams will split up and pick one each..."

Speaking of this, Xu Ning paused and continued: "I will take the Black Arrow team to the Flying Tiger camp, Lin Kai, you lead the Green Flood Dragon team to Yang Ping, Lu Yang, you lead the Dongyang team to Yue Ming. Solve the three camps at the fastest speed, then bring the three families to the He Feng camp to gather, and finally migrate everyone here.

I have already arranged for people to clear the snow barriers along the way from the northern foothills back to Zhongyuan Peak. The return trip should be much faster.

There are still about four hours in the second half of the night. Try to finish it before dawn, and then take these five thousand people back to the station tomorrow night!"

Hearing about returning to the station for the New Year, everyone's expressions shook slightly.

"Yes, my lord!" Lin Kai and Lu Yang were the first to bow and nod. Although they were both captains of intermediate teams, when discussing official business, the two naturally still needed to lower their posture to Xu Ning, who was the Wuyuan Garrison Commander.

"We obey!"

The one hundred and fifty people of the three teams below all nodded and shouted in unison.

Instantly, the sound shook the sky, and the entire wooden cabin trembled non-stop.

"Set off!"

Xu Ning gave a deep shout, and the one hundred and fifty people moved at the sound, turning and walking toward the wooden cabin gate in an orderly manner.

At the cave entrance on the north side of the wooden cabin, watching Xu Ning arrange everything in a few words and take one hundred and fifty people directly out of the wooden cabin, heading straight for the northern foothills.

Xiang Liang did not recover for a long time.

This is... setting off directly?

Not even scouting the enemy situation in advance; not thinking about concentrating superior forces to break one point; no pre-war mobilization at all; and even from the moment they learned the news just now, there was no preparation time...

Not a single error in the content at a glance!

This was simply not putting the four camps north of the mountain in their eyes at all.

"Alright, you go back and wait first. As long as your father hasn't suffered Wang Lie's poison hand, before dawn, the three lords should bring him, and everyone in your He Feng camp, here."

Hearing Xu An's words, a look of worry appeared on Xiang Liang's face.

It stands to reason that since Wang Lie wanted to coerce the He Feng camp to unite with them to attack the Great Xia camp, he shouldn't have done anything to his father Xiang Ping.

But this kind of thing is hard to say. If his father refused to be hypocritical and insisted on not uniting with their three families, it was not impossible for Wang Lie to kill him.

In such a worried mood, Xiang Liang waited for three hours. Realizing that there was only one hour left before dawn, he couldn't hold back his temper and walked out of the cave directly, coming to the wooden cabin outside to wait.

Walking out of the wooden cabin, he discovered that the people inside the wooden cabin didn't seem to be worried about the one hundred and fifty people who had just gone out. Many people were concentrating on doing their own things, as if they didn't care at all.

"Finally can go back tomorrow night. I've been in Wuyuan for over a month."

"I picked quite a lot of Chen fruits and Xianghan fruits this time. I should be able to exchange for quite a lot of contribution points when I go back. I have to buy new clothes for my son, add a set of furniture for the family, and my wife..."

"I'm not far from the Earth-Digging Realm. This time when I go back, the quota for the Martial Arts Hall just happens to be my turn. If I stay in for a day, I should be able to break through smoothly."

"Amazing. Once you break through, it will be comfortable to enter the hunting department in the future."

"Just now Garrison Commander and Captain Lin were chatting, I heard it, it seems the leader is coming out of seclusion tomorrow night. We haven't seen the leader for several months, have we?"

"The leader is coming out of seclusion? No wonder the Garrison Commander is so anxious. It is estimated that he wants to migrate the people of those four camps north of the mountain back to make the leader happy."

Contribution points, Martial Arts Hall, hunting department... The content of the crowd's conversation was filled with a lot of terms that Xiang Liang couldn't understand, but among them, there were some he could understand.

The Great Xia camp, like them, also called the leader.

Garrison Commander, should be the one-eyed Xu Ning just now.

Combined with Xu Ning's posture of lecturing the crowd just now, Wuyuan Garrison Commander should mean the person in charge of the Great Xia camp in Wuyuan Mountain.

While Xiang Liang inferred the situation of Great Xia from all aspects by listening to other people's conversations, he observed the movement of the wooden door at all times.

When there was only half an hour left before dawn, finally...

"The wind and rain from all directions cannot compare to the rain in our Seeing Hong Mu Ridge."

A voice came from outside the wooden door, and someone walked over to the side immediately.

"There is rain on Mount Longmen, and the snowfield tiger goes down the mountain."

After matching the code, that person opened the door directly.

"Everyone come over for a bit, detain the captives inside first, the rest go to the back to help. There are over five thousand people in total, settle them outside the wooden cabin first, hurry, hurry, hurry..."

Xu An's urgent voice sounded outside the wooden door. Everyone in the wooden cabin started to act immediately, and as someone went in to notify, people from the cave on the north side also kept coming over to help.

"All roll in for me, hurry!"

"Don't drag your feet, hurry in."

Xiang Liang just wanted to go up to help, but several sharp shouts came from outside the wooden door.

After the sharp shouts subsided, a person with disheveled hair and a dirty face, hands tied, and scars all over his body, walked in first.

"Wang... Wang Lie..."

Seeing that person's face clearly, Xiang Liang's expression stalled instantly.

Afterward, two more people walked in.

"He Feng, Liu Qing."

The four camps north of the mountain would also trade with each other, which was also the reason why Wang Lie had ideas and instigated the three families to attack Great Xia with him.

Xiang Liang had seen the leaders of these three camps before, so he could recognize them.

Seeing these three leaders who were usually arrogant and domineering, now covered in scars and dejected, being escorted in one by one by the people of Great Xia, Xiang Liang felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart.

Of course, he didn't forget to hurry and look for his family in the crowd.

"Father!"

Finally, in the group of captives at the very front, he saw his father Xiang Ping.

He shouted loudly, and Xiang Ping was stunned for a moment. After stopping, he turned his head and saw Xiang Liang in the wooden cabin, his face full of surprise.

"Don't stop, hurry forward, it's almost dawn!"

Xiang Ping was about to speak, but hearing the urging sound from behind, he still closed his mouth and followed the guidance of the crowd to continue walking inside.

Father was also captured!

Not only his father Xiang Ping, seeing that there were many Earth-Digging Realms from the He Feng camp in the group of captives in front, Xiang Liang's expression suddenly became ugly.

Father also led people to fight with the people who went over from Great Xia.

He was coerced by Wang Lie and had no choice but to agree.

He had just told Xu Ning about these situations, he should know everything, why did he still tie up his father and the others, this...

Seeing Xu Ning outside the wooden cabin still directing and guiding the crowd, Xiang Liang knew it was not the time to go up to find him, so he walked to his father's side first.

"Father, didn't you explain to Lord Xu Ning that our He Feng camp was coerced by Wang Lie? Why did they still tie you up?"

Hearing his son's words, Xiang Ping showed a hint of helplessness and spoke while walking:

"On the way here just now, I asked to see that lord several times, but I couldn't speak at all. They kept urging us to hurry up."

Xiang Liang looked at the sky outside and immediately understood.

"Don't worry, Father, I have already told Lord Xu Ning, he already knows the details. He will definitely release you all later."

Xiang Ping nodded and continued to chat with his son.

Xiang Ping learned a lot about Great Xia from his son;

Xiang Liang also heard from his father about the battle process between the three Great Xia teams and them just now.

As the two talked, their eyes shone with brilliance.
