Chapter 428: Chapter 202: Worthless as Chickens and Dogs, Four Clans Bow Their Heads

“Alright, you can stay here tonight!”

Xu An led Xiang Liang to the wooden house of his Golden Sword Team, arranged a room for him, and then turned around ready to leave.

“Sir…”

Just about to step out of the room, Xu An turned back to see Xiang Liang hesitating to speak, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said, “If there’s something to say, just say it.”

Xiang Liang showed a hint of hesitation on his face, but still gritted his teeth and spoke:

“Sir, I know Great Xia is powerful, but Flying Tiger has allied with Yang Ping and the Moon Ming families, and they might even have coerced the Hefeng Camp, in total four camps, with at least over a hundred in the Earth-digging Realm, and several hundred in the Logging Realm.

That defense officer just now took only two small teams, isn’t that too few people? I’m worried…”

Xiang Liang didn’t finish his words, but the meaning was obvious.

In his view, although Great Xia is strong, it is somewhat overly confident. Judging by the numbers in Xu An’s team, Great Xia’s two squads could at most comprise forty or fifty people. To take on four camps with just these many people is nothing short of a pipe dream.

“What, are you afraid we can’t handle those four camps of the Flying Tigers?”

Xu An looked at Xiang Liang with a slight teasing tone. Thinking of those four camps, a hint of disdain immediately appeared deep in his eyes.

Nevertheless, knowing Xiang Liang was just reminding him, he didn’t say much. He merely looked outside the door, showing a hint of a smile, and said, “Follow me!”

After saying this, he led the way out, Xiang Liang following behind him without understanding, and soon they both reached the cave entrance.

Outside the cave was the wooden house. Xu An went out first, and Xiang Liang, full of suspicion, followed.

Upon stepping out of the cave, Xiang Liang looked up to see the scene inside the wooden house, and his expression froze, the person himself was instantly stunned.

His mouth trembled for quite a while before he slowly spoke:

“This… gulp…”

In the middle of the wooden house stood three full formations.

Each formation had five rows, ten people per row.

Combined, the three formations totaled one hundred and fifty people.

Just people alone were of course not enough to cause such a reaction from Xiang Liang.

The issue was that among these one hundred and fifty people, nearly one-third were clad in pale golden armor, identical to what Xu Ning and Lin Kai were wearing just now;

The remaining two-thirds were dressed in the same style pure black armor, which at a glance was clearly iron-made;

The one hundred and fifty people, not only did each have an Iron Core Bow on their back, they held all sorts of main weapons in their hands, and there were three to four short weapons hanging around their waists;

These weapons, combined with the iron armor covering almost their entire heads, exposed only half of their faces, almost armed to the teeth.

Standing in three formations without a word, just standing there gave an incredibly strong sense of pressure.

“This suit of iron armor alone weighs two to three thousand pounds. Adding the bows on their backs, the main weapons in their hands, and the short weapons equipped, this set of equipment weighs no less than four thousand pounds, which means…”

Meaning, just forging the equipment worn by these one hundred and fifty people alone would consume at least six hundred thousand pounds of iron ore.

That’s not even counting the wastage, nor the manpower and resources needed!

What I calculated was just the iron ore alone.

The pale golden armor worn by that third of them, he couldn’t even discern the material, and the value was clearly higher than the black armor.

Even without mentioning the value.

Just the fact that they can move with ease while carrying over four thousand pounds of equipment makes it very clear what cultivation realm these one hundred and fifty people are in.

Earth-digging Realm, one hundred and fifty people, all in the Earth-digging Realm…

No, no, that’s not all.

Xiang Liang followed Xu An and moved a bit closer, casually picking a person in the rear wearing black iron armor for observation, and his pupils contracted.

A hint of disbelief appeared on his face, so he chose another person.

Yet after watching for a while, his expression was once again frozen.

After randomly observing over ten people, Xiang Liang finally looked away, sweat streaming down his forehead, and a large patch of his back was soaked.

“Each and every one of them gives me a feeling of being stronger than my father, not just stronger, but those in the front row clad in pale golden armor are even significantly stronger than my father, this… this… how is that possible!”

Xiang Liang’s father, Xiang Ping, is the leader of Hefeng Camp and had broken through to the Earth-digging Realm four or five years ago, with a basic strength of fourteen thousand. Although not the top among the four camps of the Northern Mountain, he is still a strong contender.

Yet among these one hundred and fifty people before him, there wasn’t a single one weaker than his father.

Only now did Xiang Liang truly realize that those he saw when he first entered the wooden house earlier were just the tip of the iceberg of Great Xia.

“Among the four camps of the Northern Mountain, the strongest should be the Flying Tiger Camp’s Wang Lie, with a basic strength of seventeen thousand; followed by Yang Ping’s He Feng, with a basic strength of fifteen thousand; then your father Xiang Ping with fourteen thousand; and Moon Ming’s Liu Qing only has thirteen thousand;

Flying Tiger has 38, Yang Ping has 32, Moon Ming has 30, your Hefeng has 29, and the four camps together have a total of 129 in the Earth-digging Realm;

The Logging Realm in each camp is around two hundred, adding up to a total of 942;

The Flying Tiger Camp is located two miles west of Beilu Mountain Wall, Yang Ping Camp is at…”

As he listened to Xu An next to him slowly describe, including the strongest in the Northern Mountain’s four camps, the number of people in the Earth-digging Realm and Logging Realm, the overall population situation, and even the precise locations of the four camps, one by one.
