Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Caliber is Justice

Long Ming and the others looked up and saw four Vulture attack helicopters speeding toward them.

"Thank god, it’s attack helicopters."

...

Jing Chuan and the others cried out in joy.

The four attack helicopters then deployed their pitch-black cannons.

RAT-A-TAT!

A torrent of bullets, like a fiery serpent, raked across the swarms of Blood Breath Dogs and Blood Corpse Beasts.

Instantly, the monsters were torn into bloody shreds.

Next, the attack helicopters fired volleys of large-caliber rockets at the hillside.

BOOM! RUMBLE~

Violent explosions engulfed one monster after another.

Long Ming watched the scene, marveling at the display. ’Even though the Blood Breath Beasts are incredibly resilient, they’re nothing in the face of absolute firepower. It really proves the old saying: caliber is justice.’

"Impressive, huh?"

Jing Chuan said excitedly to Long Ming.

"Very impressive. I didn’t realize you guys called for air support."

"Uh, these four attack helicopters aren’t ours."

"Huh? Then who do they belong to?"

Long Ming was taken aback.

"They’re from the First Legion."

Jing Chuan replied, embarrassed.

In truth, the four attack helicopters had been sent by Qiansha to reinforce Qian Lan. They had only spotted Luoxue’s group battling monsters en route and decided to provide some fire support along the way.

"Oh, so they belong to the First Legion."

Long Ming gave a slight nod.

Meanwhile, at the fortress on the summit.

The soldiers, seeing the attack helicopters, were all cheering in excitement.

"Thank goodness, air support is here!"

...

Qian Lan let out a small sigh of relief as well.

However, at that very moment, two-meter-long, bird-like Blood Breath Beasts suddenly appeared in the sky. Their bodies were covered in red pustules, and they charged straight for the attack helicopters.

The four attack helicopters sensed the danger immediately, swiveling their cannons to strafe the incoming Blood Breath Beasts.

Luoxue’s expression turned cold as she immediately gave the order.

"Quick, take down those flying monsters!"

Long Ming and the others immediately opened fire to help.

BANG! BANG~

One after another, the flying Blood Breath Beasts were shot down.

The remaining Blood Breath Beasts immediately scattered, assailing the attack helicopters from multiple directions.

"This is bad!"

Long Ming’s stomach dropped as he watched the scene unfold.

Sure enough, a Blood Breath Beast soon broke through the barrage and crashed straight into the rotors of an attack helicopter.

CRUNCH!

The Blood Breath Beast was instantly shredded, but the attack helicopter lost control and plummeted toward the ground.

BOOOOM~

A massive explosion ripped through the air.

The color drained from the faces of Jing Chuan and the others as they watched.

Just then, a Blood Breath Beast struck the rotors of another helicopter, sending the entire aircraft into a death spiral!

Seeing this, the two remaining attack helicopters had no choice but to abort their support mission and flee the battle.

The surviving Blood Breath Beasts in the sky gave chase, refusing to let them escape.

"Damn our luck. There goes the air support."

Jiang Heng and the others felt a massive headache coming on.

"It doesn’t matter. They’ve already cleared out the biggest obstacles. Everyone, with me!"

With a wave of her hand, Luoxue led her people in a charge up the hill.

...

At the fortress on the summit, the soldiers’ celebration was short-lived. The smiles vanished from their faces.

In less than two minutes, two of the four attack helicopters had crashed, and the other two had fled.

"You’ve got to be kidding me."

Everyone’s hearts, which had been soaring, came crashing down.

At that moment, the Blood Breath Beasts regrouped and charged the fortress once more.

The color drained from Qian Lan’s face. She unleashed a continuous stream of fire from her "Fire Serpent" gatling gun and roared at her troops.

"Hold them back!"

The soldiers opened fire in a desperate volley.

But their firepower was dwindling. Many soldiers had already run out of ammunition, and they couldn’t suppress the oncoming horde.

"It’s no use! We can’t hold on much longer!"

Liu Hui said, his face pale.

"Shut your mouth, you idiot!"

Hearing Liu Hui’s words, Qian Lan was so furious she wanted to slap him.

’Of course I know we’re about to be overrun,’ she thought, ’but now is not the time to show fear.’

Scolded by Qian Lan, Liu Hui instinctively shut his mouth.

But just then, Luoxue, Long Ming, and their group arrived, launching a fierce assault on the rear of the Blood Breath Beasts that were besieging the fortress.

Caught completely by surprise, nearly half of the Blood Breath Beasts turned and charged toward Luoxue’s group.

Qian Lan saw that Luoxue’s group had broken through and immediately shouted.

"Listen up! Our reinforcements are here! Open fire!"

"Yes, ma’am!"

Their morale soaring, the soldiers launched a fierce counterattack.

...

「Over half an hour later.」

Caught in a pincer attack between Luoxue’s and Qian Lan’s forces, the Blood Breath Beasts were finally exterminated.

But the cost was steep. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, with many killed and even more wounded.

"AGH!"

The battlefield was filled with cries of pain.

"Medic!"

Soldiers cried out in desperation.

Medics rushed forward, cleaning soldiers’ wounds and injecting them with rapid-recovery stimulants.

Following beside Luoxue, Long Ming quietly observed the brutal scene and sighed softly.

Just then, Zhihan walked over to Luoxue, her eyes red, and reported.

"The casualties are in. We have 42 dead, 23 seriously wounded, and 13 with minor injuries."

"Understood. Have the bodies of the fallen and the seriously wounded sent back."

Luoxue replied after a few moments of silence.

"Right."

Zhihan replied, forcing back her grief.

Just then, Qian Lan approached Luoxue with Liu Hui and her other subordinates. She sighed and spoke.

"I never thought it would be you coming to my aid. Thank you."

"Don’t thank me. Just compensate us for our losses."

Luoxue said calmly to Qian Lan.

Hearing this, Qian Lan nodded.

"Of course. I’ll transfer you the funds once I’m back."

"I don’t want Mountain Coins. I want One-Dimensional Coins!"

Luoxue stated unequivocally.

Qian Lan was taken aback and shook her head.

"I don’t have any. I didn’t get a single thing from exploring these ruins, and on top of that, I lost so many people. Where am I supposed to get One-Dimensional Coins for you?"

"I still want One-Dimensional Coins!"

Luoxue retorted, her brow furrowed.

"I don’t have any, and that’s final. I only have Mountain Coins. Take them or leave them."

Qian Lan was getting angry herself.

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Long Ming turned to Jing Chuan in confusion.

"Why is she so set against Mountain Coins?"

"Do you know the current exchange rate between Mountain Coins and One-Dimensional Coins?"

Jing Chuan replied in a hushed voice.

"1 to 150?"

"It’s 1 to 100 now, and the value of One-Dimensional Coins is still rising. You’d lose your shirt taking Mountain Coins. Besides, you can’t exchange large quantities of Mountain Coins for One-Dimensional Coins right now. Forcing a trade like that would crash the market."

"I see."

Hearing this, Long Ming began to understand. ’So One-Dimensional Coins must have some special purpose.’

Seeing that Qian Lan truly didn’t have any One-Dimensional Coins, Luoxue finally had no choice but to concede.

"Fine."

"Good. I’ll take my troops back to rest and regroup."

Qian Lan prepared to lead her troops away.

"Alright."

Luoxue said nothing more.

Qian Lan then departed with her remaining forces.

Just then, Fu Fuqing, Jing Chuan, Zhihan, and the others gathered around Luoxue, their expressions full of worry.

"Luoxue, what do we do now?"

"Yeah, we already took heavy losses exploring the ruins and found nothing. Now, after helping Qian Lan, we’re in an even worse state."

...

"Let me think."

Luoxue sighed. At this point, she didn’t know how they were going to get out of this mess either.
