Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Despair

"Rest assured, we have a plan."

Having made her choice, Luoxue spoke decisively.

"That’s wonderful! We’re saved!"

The Pomide Clan Leader and the others said excitedly.

Just then, Luoxue turned to Mira and asked.

"Mira, can we contact Mountain City Mountain right now?"

"No problem. I placed signal repeaters along the way."

Mira said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, Long Ming couldn’t help but look at Mira. ’I never expected her to be so meticulous, even thinking to leave signal repeaters along the way.’

"Hand me the communication device."

Luoxue said crisply.

Mira immediately handed a backpack to Luoxue.

Luoxue opened the backpack, revealing a square communication device inside.

She pulled out the antenna and began to operate it.

SSSHHH~

A burst of static erupted, but a voice soon came through.

"This is the Third Legion General Headquarters."

"This is Commander Luoxue of the Fifth Battle Group. Get me the Legion Commander!"

Luoxue said curtly.

"Yes!"

The operator on the other end of the communication device replied immediately.

Luoxue waited quietly. After a few minutes, a commanding voice sounded.

"Speaking."

"Legion Commander, sir. We’ve found a large group of natives, but they’re under attack by a tide of Blood Breath Dogs and are in urgent need of support."

"Location."

"Deep in the Bukeao Mountain Range. Using Mountain City Mountain as the origin point, the approximate coordinates are (1526, 3123)."

"Protect them at all costs. Await reinforcements!"

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing this, Luoxue disconnected the communication.

Long Ming let out a sigh of relief. ’Just as I guessed.’

Just then, Luoxue turned to Long Ming and said.

"We’re going to provide support."

"Alright. Pomide Clan Leader, please have someone lead us there to provide initial support. Our main reinforcements will arrive soon."

Long Ming said to the Pomide Clan Leader.

"No problem. Kariid, you will take them."

The Pomide Clan Leader immediately instructed Kariid.

"Yes."

Kariid quickly led Long Ming and the others away.

「Katti Peak Fortress Defense Line.」

The entire defense line was constructed from twelve metal fortresses on the mountainside.

Pitch-black cannon barrels extended from these metal fortresses. On top of each was a spherical magnetic storm weapon. Between the fortresses stood soldiers in gray exo-armor, holding automatic rifles.

Below, a sea of red Blood Breath Dogs, covering the mountainside, surged upward like a mad tide.

"Wipe them out!"

A large man in a three-meter-tall exo-armor suit—made entirely of black metal with a triangular halo of light on its chest and wielding a heavy, double-bladed metal axe—furiously roared at his subordinates.

"Yes, sir!"

The soldiers unleashed a frantic barrage.

BANG! BANG!

Cannon shells and dense curtains of bullets rained down on the monster horde.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

The intense firepower consumed one Blood Breath Dog after another.

But even so, many monsters still broke through the line of fire and swarmed up the mountain.

Just then, the magnetic storm weapons on the fortresses began to flicker with violent arcs of electricity.

But in the next second, nearly half of the twelve magnetic storm weapons dimmed.

ZAP~

The remaining magnetic storm weapons fired terrifying bolts of lightning, sweeping across the charging Blood Breath Dogs.

"AWOOOO!"

Swarms of Blood Breath Dogs were pierced by the lightning, their bodies falling, scorched black and deader than dead.

CRACK!

Then, a web of lightning spread out in all directions.

The pressure on the defending soldiers immediately eased.

Unfortunately, this respite didn’t last long, as swarms of Blood Breath Dogs began climbing up again.

Just then, up in the sky, flocks of falcon-shaped Blood Breath Beasts—Bloodhawks, with red wings and bodies covered in red bumps—dived down.

BANG! BANG!~

The anti-aircraft machine guns on the fortresses strafed wildly!

One Bloodhawk after another was shot down.

But some still slipped through the net.

These Bloodhawks dove at high speed, grabbed soldiers, and flew straight back into the sky, only to hurl them toward the bottom of the mountain.

"AHHH!"

A series of miserable screams rang out.

Defense Sector 7.

"AWOOOO~"

Following a furious roar, a five-meter-tall Blood Breath Dog covered in huge red bumps charged violently toward the defense sector.

The squad leader in charge roared anxiously.

"Take that monster down, quick!"

Everyone opened fire on it.

The elite-grade Blood Breath Dog was riddled with holes, but it still managed to reach the defense line before its body suddenly swelled and exploded.

Red flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

"AHH!"

Unprotected soldiers were spattered by the flesh, and corrosive smoke rose from their bodies as they let out agonized wails and fell to the ground, one by one.

Instantly, swarms of Blood Breath Dogs seized the opportunity and charged forward.

The reserve soldiers rushed up, resisting and firing with all their might.

BANG! BANG!

The Blood Breath Dogs were pierced with bloody holes by the bullets, but they still pounced madly.

One soldier after another was tackled to the ground.

Seeing they wouldn’t survive, the soldiers desperately twisted the activators on their last grenades!

BOOM~

A huge explosion tore through flesh and blood.

Just then, a soldier rushed up to the lead captain and reported anxiously.

"Legion Commander Rein! Defense Sector 7 has been breached!"

"Dammit! Ikaga, you’re in charge here."

Captain Rein roared in fury.

"Yes, sir!"

Ikaga immediately responded.

Defense Sector 7.

Swarms of Blood Breath Dogs charged through the breach, and soldiers gave their lives to intercept them.

But it was no use. The Blood Breath Dogs broke through the hail of fire, pounced on soldiers, and bared their sharp fangs to bite down on their necks.

CRUNCH!

The sharp teeth pierced the weaker areas of the exo-armor, snapping the soldiers’ necks as fresh blood gushed out.

Getting a taste of blood, the Blood Breath Dogs began to crazily devour the corpses.

THUD~

Just then, a massive figure jumped down, directly crushing the head of a Blood Breath Dog.

The surrounding Blood Breath Dogs, their eyes red, all turned to look.

The one who had landed was none other than Legion Commander Rein!

"Legion Commander!"

Seeing Legion Commander Rein, the surviving soldiers shouted out, a glimmer of hope reignited.

"Brothers, fight with me! We cannot let these bastards break through our line! Our families are all behind us!"

Legion Commander Rein led the charge, swinging his double-bladed axe and savagely cleaving an oncoming Blood Breath Dog in two.

"Kill!"

The other soldiers also strafed desperately.

But more and more monsters charged up. One by one they broke through the attack, and one by one, the soldiers fell.

In the blink of an eye, only Captain Rein and a handful of soldiers were left in Defense Sector 7.

The Blood Breath Dogs that had broken through surrounded Legion Commander Rein, like hyenas hunting a tiger.

Legion Commander Rein scanned the circle of Blood Breath Dogs surrounding him, his eyes shot with blood. Gripping his double-bladed axe, he threw his head back and roared in defiance.

"The heavens themselves wish for our doom!"

At that moment, the Blood Breath Dogs began to close in on Legion Commander Rein.

After venting his frustration, Rein lowered his head to look at the approaching Blood Breath Dogs and spoke with a savage grin.

"You think a bunch of mongrels like you can kill me? Come on!"
