Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Confrontation

Wei Sheng spoke up at this point.

"Young Master, surely they’re not coming for us, are they?"

"No. Although I’ve never trusted that bunch from Star Tower, we at Mountain City Mountain are no pushovers. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t dare tear up the agreement so easily."

"Then what are they up to?"

"If I’m not mistaken, they’re just jealous. They want to bypass us and get their hands on the Royal City."

Qian Hai instantly understood their motives.

"Then what do we do? We just captured the three major economic cities. If they use this opportunity to attack the Royal City, doesn’t that mean we just did all the work for them?"

Wei Sheng asked, his expression turning grim.

"Heh. Getting past us won’t be so easy. Let’s go!"

A slight smile appeared on Qian Hai’s lips, and he promptly led Wei Sheng and the others away.

....

「Osmo City – Castle Great Hall」

Zhihan and the others excitedly showed Luoxue the things they had scavenged.

"Sister Luoxue, look! I found the production blueprints for the Spider-Tanks."

"This is a map I found of the air force base ruins.

...

"Good work."

Luoxue nodded slightly.

Just then, Qian Wei rushed down the stairs, looking as if he were about to leave the castle.

"Brother Qian Wei."

Luoxue called out to him, her voice tinged with confusion.

"Sister Luoxue, is there something you need?"

Qian Wei stopped and asked Luoxue calmly.

"Where are you off to?"

"I’ve decided to head back for a bit."

"Aren’t you going to search anymore?"

A flicker of surprise, almost imperceptible, crossed Luoxue’s face.

"Gao Feng died. I just don’t have the heart to search anymore. I want to take his body back to Mountain City Mountain for burial first. As for the search, I’ll leave it to my subordinates. It makes no difference whether I’m here or not."

Qian Wei said dejectedly.

"My condolences."

Luoxue replied in a low voice.

"It’s nothing. I’m leaving now."

With that, Qian Wei left without a backward glance.

Luoxue watched his retreating figure, her eyes flickering thoughtfully, but she said nothing.

At that moment, Long Ming came down the stairs.

Luoxue looked at Long Ming and asked,

"How is the search going?"

"It’s been so-so."

Long Ming said with a sigh.

"Didn’t find what you were looking for?"

"Yeah."

"It’s okay. We’ll get there."

"Yeah. Oh, right, I just saw Qian Wei leaving. Is he done searching?"

"Correct. He’s escorting Gao Feng’s body back to Mountain City Mountain."

Luoxue explained with a slight nod.

"Back to Mountain City Mountain?"

Long Ming’s brow furrowed slightly when he heard that.

’Who would believe such a flimsy excuse? It’s obvious the guy found something, but there’s no use speculating. Qian Wei would never tell us anyway.’

"That’s right."

Luoxue replied meaningfully.

Hearing this, Long Ming didn’t press Luoxue any further.

Just then, Qian Luobing emerged from inside the castle, followed by Jiang Huai and her people.

"Sister, are you finished searching?"

Luoxue went to greet her and asked.

"Yes."

Qian Luobing replied curtly.

"Did you find any Genetic Potions or anything of the sort?"

Luoxue deliberately asked Qian Luobing in front of Long Ming.

Qian Luobing glanced at Long Ming before replying coldly.

"No."

"What a shame. So none of us found any."

Luoxue replied, feigning disappointment.

"There’s nothing to be ashamed of. We’ll find them eventually. Instead of wasting time here, you should be out finding more resources to strengthen your troops."

Qian Luobing told Luoxue.

"You’re right, Sister."

Luoxue nodded.

「Western Suburbs, Outside Aimengka City」

Qiansha and his troops had sealed off the main highway, setting up numerous roadblocks.

RUMBLE RUMBLE~

In the distance, a column of heavy tanks and armored vehicles rumbled toward them.

"Here they come."

Blake reported to Qiansha.

"Hmph. Relay the order! No one lets them pass without my command. If they dare to force their way through, don’t hold back!"

Qiansha issued the command with brutal authority.

"Yes, sir!"

Blake and the others chorused in affirmation.

Soon enough, the forces of Sinful City ground to a halt.

Just then, the Pilates Streamer, sniffing out a story like a bloodhound, rushed to the scene.

He held up his streaming device, his voice filled with shock as he spoke.

"Alright everyone, look! Whose army is that?!"

"Holy crap, isn’t that the army from Sinful City!"

"What are they doing here?"

"Are you stupid? With a formation like that, they’re obviously here to steal a piece of the pie."

"Thieves will be thieves. So shameless!"

"Who are you calling shameless? You think you own the road?!"

...

The live stream’s chat immediately exploded as viewers began to argue fiercely.

At this moment, Modick, Padoka, and Dorak emerged from their ranks.

"Qiansha, what’s the meaning of this?"

Modick demanded, his tone hostile as he faced Qiansha.

"I should be asking you the same thing. What are you doing here?"

"Nothing. We’re not here to take your city, we just want to pass through. Now move and clear the road!"

"Hmph. You really think I don’t know what you’re plotting? You just want to attack the Royal City ruins."

Qiansha bluntly exposed their intentions.

"So what if we are? Whether we attack the Royal City is none of your business, is it?"

"Bullshit! The three cities have an agreement. Are you trying to break it?"

"Hold on. We’re not breaking any agreement. You’re just too slow. We finished up on our end, and our campaign just... led us here. Besides, the Royal City doesn’t belong to you. Anyone can attack it!"

Modick retorted with a sneer.

"You think playing games with me is going to work?"

A vicious smile spread across Qiansha’s face.

"A good dog knows not to block the path. Don’t make us force you!"

Modick was starting to get annoyed.

"You’re welcome to try."

Qiansha raised his hand and gave a sharp wave.

In an instant, all the soldiers behind Qiansha raised their weapons and aimed them at Modick and his men.

The faces of Modick and his men instantly darkened. They hadn’t expected Qiansha to be so unyielding. ’Is he actually planning to go to war with us?’

But they didn’t back down. The soldiers of Sinful City raised their weapons in response.

The two sides were now in a standoff, the atmosphere thick with tension.

Seeing this, Pilates exclaimed in shock.

"This is bad. It looks like the negotiations between Lord Qiansha and Modick from Sinful City have broken down. If they start fighting, we’re in big trouble."

"Lord Qiansha is a badass!"

"Don’t like it? Then fight!"

"Yeah!"

...

The viewers from Mountain City Mountain, their blood boiling with excitement, spammed the chat nonstop.

Just then, a comment appeared in the chat.

"Everyone, quick, go watch Sun Zhou’s stream! The Star Tower army is here too, and Lord Qian Hai has them blocked!"

"Holy shit, don’t tell me that’s a coincidence."

"Damn, those two cities are obviously jealous. They’re in cahoots, working together to break the agreement."

"Totally!"

...

The people of Mountain City Mountain were instantly united in furious condemnation.

With events having developed this far, anyone who wasn’t a complete idiot could see what was going on.
