The road was filled with swirling dust, and the sound of horse hooves was constant.
Wave after wave of reinforcements arrived at Qingyu Ridge, and the main force of the Northern Territory finally took over the battle line.
The soldiers pitched tents and began to build defenses around the valley entrance: watchtowers, trenches, arrow towers, and even catapults and heavy crossbows were brought up.
In just a few days, Qingyu Ridge transformed from a simple Snow Swearer outpost into a veritable barrier of the Northern Territory.
Of course, the Snow Swearers had no intention of retreating just like that.
They mobilized small elite units from the direction of Ice Sea County, attempting night raids, arson, and supply cut-offs, and even some launched curse bullets at the outpost.
But all failed.
They were either discovered in advance or ambushed and annihilated.
Gibson commanded seamlessly, his maneuvers and battle formations were impeccable.
