Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Turning Point

The Northern Wilds, south of the Aniska Empire’s royal city.

RUMBLE~

The ground suddenly began to tremble, sending loose stones rolling.

In the distance, the land and the horizon gradually turned red.

Then, an innumerable tide of Blood Breath Beasts swarmed toward the three major cities.

WHIR~

It was a high-altitude reconnaissance drone. The camera on its underside swiveled to face the red tide of monsters, transmitting the captured video feed back to base.

Aimengka City.

Inside an unassuming house.

A rather short man in a Mountain City Mountain uniform and glasses stared at the live video feed on his control equipment. Terrified, he snatched the wireless communication device beside him and shouted anxiously.

"Calling Commander Qiansha."

...

On a suburban road.

Qiansha and Modick’s men were in a standoff, neither side willing to yield.

KSHHH~

An anxious shout suddenly crackled from Qiansha’s wireless communication device.

His expression immediately darkened. He stepped aside and spoke in a cold voice.

"This is Qiansha. What is it?"

"Commander Qiansha, Aerial Scorpion 3 has spotted a massive monster tide two hundred kilometers to the north! They’re heading toward us, and their numbers are impossible to count!"

Zhang Le immediately reported.

"Acknowledged."

As Qiansha listened to Zhang Le, a muscle in his face twitched. Then, he ended the call.

His expression shifted, and he walked back to the standoff.

Modick watched Qiansha walk over, his face grim.

"Qiansha, our patience is limited. I’m counting to three, and that’s the only chance you’ll get. Three."

"Hmph. If you want to pass, then go ahead. Remove all the roadblocks."

Qiansha directly issued the order to Blake and the others.

"Yes, sir!"

Though Blake and the others were confused, they immediately carried out the order.

Modick and his men were stunned. They looked at Qiansha, their expressions uncertain.

"Qiansha, what the hell are you up to?"

"You wanted to pass, didn’t you? So go on. What’s the matter, too scared?"

"Bullshit! You think I’m scared?"

"Then go on."

Qiansha sneered at Modick.

This completely threw Modick for a loop.

But in the end, needing to save face, Modick simply waved his hand and led his troops forward.

"Move out!"

After watching the Sinful City troops pass, Qiansha snorted coldly and issued a command.

"Return to the city."

"Yes, sir!"

Blake and the others then followed Qiansha back to the city.

...

Among the Sinful City troops.

Padoka and a few others looked uneasily at Modick.

"Modick, I have a bad feeling about this."

"What could be wrong? We got through, didn’t we?"

"You think that bastard Qiansha would be kind enough to just let us pass? He isn’t planning to stab us in the back while we’re attacking the royal city, is he?"

"He wouldn’t dare!"

Modick said, his face dark.

"I don’t think Qiansha has the guts to do that. That would be tantamount to declaring war on us, Sinful City. But there’s definitely something wrong."

Dorak analyzed rationally.

"So what do we do?"

Padoka and the others looked to Dorak.

"Better safe than sorry. Send some scouts and a recon drone up ahead to check the path."

Dorak suggested.

"Alright!"

Modick wasn’t an idiot; he immediately agreed.

「A little over three hours later.」

Irafu hurried before Modick and the others and reported quickly.

"Sirs, bad news! A massive monster tide has been spotted in the area ahead!"

"I knew that bastard Qiansha was up to no good! He clearly wants us to take the brunt of the monster tide."

Padoka cursed, infuriated.

"Modick, what do we do now?"

"Maybe we should retreat?"

...

Dorak and the others looked to Modick, the situation now thorny.

"Retreat? Over what? It’s just a monster tide! Order all troops to form a defensive line and crush those bastards! Then we’ll see what excuse Mountain City Mountain has to stop us from attacking the royal city."

Modick said with a cold snort.

"Makes sense!"

Padoka and the others all nodded.

...

------------------------------------------

Osmo City.

Long Ming, Luoxue, Qian Luobing, and the others were gathered together, listening to Jiang Huai report on the latest developments.

"We’ve located the Blood Breath Spiders’ hidden nest via the underground lab. We then used a large number of incendiary bombs to wipe out all the smaller ones inside. The security threat is now resolved."

"Good."

Qian Luobing nodded slightly.

Just then, a communications officer ran over, saluted Qian Luobing, and reported.

"Ma’am."

"What is it?"

"Latest intelligence: Sinful City and Star Tower have dispatched troops, bypassed the cities on our flanks, and are heading straight for the royal city!"

"Damn it! Isn’t this just blatant robbery?"

"Those bastards from those two cities are shameless!"

"Damn it, why would Qiansha and Qian Hai let them pass?"

...

Bakaen and the others immediately started cursing furiously.

They had worked their asses off to capture the three cities, all to set up a three-pronged pincer attack on the royal city. For Sinful City and Star Tower to just swoop in and steal the prize—no one could stomach such an insult.

Long Ming was also very confused and asked Luoxue in a low voice.

"What do you make of this?"

"The actions of Sinful City and Star Tower are not surprising, but Qiansha and Qian Hai letting them pass is very unexpected."

Luoxue was also very puzzled.

Hearing this, Long Ming also looked at Qian Luobing, only to find that her expression hadn’t changed at all.

Just then, another communications officer rushed over.

"Commander Qian Luobing!"

"Speak."

Qian Luobing replied in a cold voice.

"Latest military intelligence: a monster tide is heading toward us from the direction of the royal city. Commander Qiansha requests your presence at a remote conference."

The communications officer reported, panting.

Bakaen and the others were also startled, and they all shut their mouths.

The corner of Long Ming’s mouth twitched. He finally understood why Qiansha and Qian Hai had let the others pass. But now the situation was dire. ’We barely managed to capture three cities, and now a monster tide is already here.’

"Let’s go!"

Qian Luobing directly led Long Ming and the others to the command vehicle.

...

「A short while later.」

Long Ming and the others all climbed into the command vehicle.

Qian Luobing then said to Jiang Huai.

"Patch them through."

"Yes, Ma’am!"

Jiang Huai walked to the console and entered the commands.

SHIMMER~

Holographic projections of Qiansha and Qian Hai instantly appeared.

"Everyone’s here. Let’s begin this joint conference."

Qiansha said, glancing at Qian Hai and Qian Luobing.

"Go ahead. What’s the situation?"

Qian Luobing looked at Qiansha and asked directly.

"The situation is this: a massive tide of Blood Breath Beasts is heading toward us from the direction of the royal city. Most likely, our capture of the three cities stirred up the monsters there."

Qiansha explained briefly.

"So what’s our next move?"

Qian Hai asked, looking at Qiansha.

"I’ve already consulted with Father. His orders are for us to use the three great economic cities as a bulwark to intercept the monster tide!"

Qiansha stated plainly.

"No problem. How long until the monster tide arrives?"

Wasting no words, Qian Luobing got straight to the point.
