Liu Yuan had captured a young man in white clothing.
He probably witnessed the Cloud Dragon Army slaughtering the Cold Beast and was still in a daze, his pupils full of shock.
"Commander, he must be soone from Long Mountain!"
Xia Chuan waved his hand. From the young man’s clothing, he already knew, the color and style were evidently from Long Mountain.
anwhile, the young man in white revived, especially as he looked up to see Xia Chuan’s murderous gaze. He imdiately shivered and quickly said:
"Spare , my lord. I am Xue Ping. I was specially instructed to deliver a ssage to Great Xia. I stumbled into this place by accident, and did not an to spy."
Xia Chuan’s expression froze for a mont, then he turned and looked three or four kiloters away. After a mont’s thought, he asked, "Who sent you with the ssage?"
"Li Hu, Yang Zhong."
As expected!
A hint of realization flashed in Xia Chuan’s eyes. This was the closest branch of Long Mountain to Wushuang. Their current position was about eight kiloters in depth. From Long Mountain to Wushuang, not taking the plains ant passing the outer periter four kiloters away.
"I was just about to head to Wushuang when I noticed the commotion here. I guessed it was the people of Great Xia hunting, so I ca over. I did not intentionally spy on Great Xia’s training. I hope you will forgive , my lord!"
Upon hearing this explanation, Xia Chuan still did not lower his guard. He rely gestured for Liu Yuan to release Xue Ping, and continued to ask:
"What ssages were you asked to convey to ?"
Once Xue Ping was released, he hesitated for a mont but quickly responded:
"Two ssages in total. First, a newly ford thousand-strong army has recently been added to Long Mountain. Second, Long Mountain plans to send a large batch of supplies to White Abyss. Brother Hu is ninety percent certain that it consists of complete sets of Hundred Forged Level weapons and war armor, estimated to be around eight hundred sets."
On hearing these two ssages, Xia Chuan’s expression suddenly changed.
Standing behind Xue Ping, Liu Yuan was likewise affected.
Long Mountain already had three thousand Longyou Army, and it was nearly invincible across Longyou. To add another thousand troops was clearly preparation for sothing.
White Abyss had long since pledged loyalty to Hou Hu. The thousand-strong Blood Guard Army from Zhaoyang was currently stationed at Baiyuan Camp. Sending complete sets of Hundred Forged Level weapons and war armor to White Abyss signifies what...
A trade?
Impossible. Hundred Forged Level war armor and weapons are strategic resources, highly valuable to any camp. A single set or a limited number might be traded, but not in large quantities as a trade.
sets could nearly arm a thousand-strong army.
Xia Chuan had been worrying about equipnt for the Cloud Dragon Army recently, so he had every reason to believe that 800 sets of Hundred Forged weapons and war armor would not be sold by either Great Xia, Zhaoyang, or Long Mountain to the opposing side.
Considering the past relationship between Long Mountain and Zhaoyang, Li Xuanling selling 800 sets to Zhaoyang was out of the question.
Xia Chuan’s eye twitched sharply, and a bold speculation suddenly flashed through his mind.
No, it was no longer a re speculation; he was almost certain of it.
The relations between the two parties must have undergone a dramatic change!
Xia Chuan hurried to calm himself before continuing to question Xue Ping:
"Why didn’t Li Hu and Yang Zhong co themselves? What is your relationship with the two of them?"
Xue Ping did not say much more. He simply pulled a token from his bosom and handed it to Xia Chuan, bowing: "This is Brother Hu’s token. Brother Hu and Brother Zhong both joined the new army and cannot leave the camp for long, so they entrusted to deliver the ssage to you, my lord."
Xia Chuan looked down at the token in his hand, and his suspicion of Xue Ping vanished.
This was his Hunting Team’s token, which he personally handed to Li Hu last month on the 20th when Li Hu ca to Wushuang to deliver a ssage.
Xue Ping then continued, "That batch of supplies was originally planned by Long Mountain to be sent to White Abyss after nightfall on the 10th, but for so unknown reason, the date was postponed to the 20th."
Xia Chuan’s face brightened. The date Xue Ping ntioned should be according to the Longyou Calendar, which was ten days ahead of the Daxia Calendar. Delivering on the 20th, in Daxia Calendar terms, ant the 30th of this month, in five days at nightfall.
"Liu Yuan, continue to keep the main force here, training at night as usual. Return to the camp at daybreak. I will co to find you before daybreak on the 30th."
"Understood!"
After giving instructions to Liu Yuan, Xia Chuan then said to Xue Ping, "You follow . For the foreseeable future, you’ll stay at Wushuang. I will let you return to Long Mountain when the ti is right."
Xue Ping was montarily surprised but quickly thought through it, nodding as he followed Xia Chuan toward Wushuang.
The Wushuang Camp was surrounded by more than eight hundred giant stones, each over ten ters high, three to five ters wide, and nearly ten ters thick.
The inside of the camp was a circular space with a diater of about one kiloter, filled with buildings centered around a main tower.
Great Xia had occupied Wushuang for two months now, and the original giant stone array camp had naturally undergone so changes.
The gaps between the outer giant stones had all been filled with molten iron, and the tops of the stones were lined with iron spikes, obviously to prevent anyone from climbing over;
The only exit, the eastern gate, had also been replaced with a thicker and heavier iron gate, which opened and closed in the sa way as the gate of Xia City, suspended by chains in mid-air.
Just these two points were enough to show that, after being modified by Great Xia, the defensive capabilities of the Wushuang Camp had greatly increased over what it was before.
The interior of the camp had also undergone significant changes.
