Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Saturation Strike

"Once you enter the drop zone, commence the attack. Return to base immediately after the bombing run is complete. Do not linger for any reason!"

"Understood!"

A series of confirmations echoed through the comms channel.

Soon, under the cover of fighter jets, the bombers reached the skies above the monster tide. Captain Xu Can gave the order without a moment’s hesitation.

"Begin the drop!"

WHOOSH!

One by one, the bombers opened their bomb bays.

Countless heavy-duty aerial bombs, incendiary bombs, and thermobaric bombs rained down.

BOOOOOM—

Countless explosions, accompanied by raging flames, swept out, engulfing swaths of Blood Breath Beasts.

"Beautiful!"

Seeing this, Jing Chuan and the others shouted in excitement.

Just then, however, things took a sudden turn. Countless bat-like Blood Breath Bats spread their wings and rose from the rear of the monster tide, swarming towards the bombers and blotting out the sky.

Seeing the shrieking swarm approach, Captain Xu Can’s face paled, and he immediately shouted.

"This is bad! It’s an aerial swarm! Fighters, provide cover! All bombers, abort the attack mission and return to base immediately!"

"Damn it, where did so many aerial monsters suddenly come from?"

Shocked and enraged, the pilots maneuvered their bombers into a wide turn.

The fighter jets intercepted the approaching aerial swarm, firing missiles while unleashing a fierce barrage from their autocannons.

BOOOOOM—

Vast numbers of Blood Breath Bats were shot out of the sky.

The next second, however, the Blood Breath Bats simply crashed straight into the fighter jets in a great wave.

They required no combat skills, only the most basic ramming maneuvers.

CRASH—

Instantly, fighter jet after fighter jet was damaged, plummeting from the sky and crashing to the ground.

BOOOOOM—

Massive explosions erupted, reaching for the sky.

Grave voices began to fill the comms channel.

"Fighter 36, airframe severely damaged. Farewell, everyone."

"Fighter 13, I’ve lost control. Going on ahead!"

...

Listening to one last message after another, Xu Can gritted his teeth and roared.

"Retreat, retreat now!"

The remaining fighters and bombers began a rapid ascent.

Just then, however, their radar picked up a large number of red dots behind the Blood Breath Bats, closing in fast. Among them, one massive red dot blinked, its speed unbelievably high.

"My God, what is that thing?"

The pilots cried out in terror.

Xu Can looked up at the sky. In an instant, a creature with a fifty-meter wingspan broke through the clouds, hurtling toward them. Its entire body was covered in red, fleshy tumors. It had an eagle-like head with eight blood-red eyes, and it radiated a terrifying aura. It was the Lord Level Blood Breath Beast, Argoslo.

"No!"

Xu Can let out a defiant roar.

BOOOOOM—

In an instant, the entire bomber detonated in a massive explosion, its wreckage plummeting to the ground below.

...

「Atop the city wall.」

Long Ming watched the distant fighter jets fall from the sky one after another, his expression growing increasingly grim.

With bloodshot eyes, Bakaen and the others cursed.

"Damn it, where did all these flying monsters come from!"

"Sigh. We miscalculated."

The loss was a sharp sting for Jiang Huai as well.

Those bombers belonged to the Third Legion. They were their comrades. But a situation like this was unavoidable.

They had conducted reconnaissance as thoroughly as possible beforehand but hadn’t detected any large formations of flying monsters.

Just then, Qian Luobing spoke, her voice cold.

"There’s no such thing as a war without setbacks. It’s our turn now. Order all artillery positions to prepare!"

"Yes, ma’am!"

Jiang Huai and the others answered grimly.

Time passed, second by second. In the blink of an eye, the monster tide rushed to the edge of Osmo City.

"Fire!"

Just then, Qian Luobing gave the grim order.

WHOOSH!

Rockets and artillery shells poured down like rain.

BOOOOOM—

The suburbs outside Osmo City were instantly blanketed by the barrage.

Countless Blood Breath Beasts were engulfed in the explosions.

Seeing how fierce Mountain City Mountain’s firepower was, Long Ming’s unease subsided slightly. It looked like Qian Luobing and her forces were indeed well-prepared.

The first artillery barrage soon ended. Of the vast monster tide that had charged them, only a few scattered Blood Breath Beasts remained.

But before anyone could celebrate.

A dark, crushing wave of Blood Breath Beasts surged forward once more.

Watching this, Jiang Huai and the others tensed and looked to Qian Luobing.

Qian Luobing’s eyes flickered. Then, with a wave of her hand, she issued the command once more.

"Fire!"

WHOOSH!

A second saturation barrage rained down on the monster tide.

Long Ming and the others stood on the city wall, watching quietly.

Time flew by.

Qian Luobing and her forces unleashed six rounds of saturation fire, scouring the suburban landscape again and again.

Even so, the monster tide’s numbers showed no signs of dwindling; on the contrary, they continued to surge forward.

Watching the scene unfold, the streamer Nansi couldn’t suppress the fear in her voice as she spoke.

"Everyone, despite the continuous bombardment from Mountain City Mountain, the monster tide is showing absolutely no sign of breaking."

"My God, just how many monsters are there?"

"Don’t tell me they’re endless??"

"Can we hold them back?"

"Pah! Don’t you fucking jinx it! We’re screwed if we can’t hold them back."

"What’s there to be afraid of? This is a golden opportunity to wipe out the Blood Breath Beasts. As long as our ammunition holds, we have nothing to fear."

...

The livestream chat was filled with discussion from the viewers.

As the monster tide once again neared the edge of Osmo City, the seventh artillery barrage arrived right on cue.

BOOOOOM—

Fierce explosions erupted one after another.

Long Ming’s brow furrowed. The coverage area and firepower of this barrage were significantly weaker than before.

After the explosions ended, a large number of Blood Breath Beasts remained.

They swarmed into the outer city.

"What’s going on? Why has our firepower gotten so weak? Did something go wrong?"

Jing Chuan and the others asked anxiously.

"Nothing’s wrong. Our ammunition is just running low. We can’t maintain the large-scale barrages."

Luoxue replied, her expression grave.

"Ah, so what do we do now?"

Jing Chuan and the others turned pale upon hearing this.

"Just follow orders!"

Luoxue had no better answer.

Just then, Qian Luobing watched the rapidly approaching Blood Breath Beasts. She slowly drew the blade at her waist and gave a cold command to all the soldiers.

"For Mountain City Mountain, kill!"

"Kill!"

Soldiers began firing from their fixed machine gun emplacements.

RAT-A-TAT-TAT—

A dense hail of bullets peppered the advancing Blood Breath Beasts.

Swarms of Blood Breath Beasts fell to the ground. Their life force was tenacious, but even they couldn’t withstand a hail of large-caliber rounds.

Still, some Blood Breath Beasts managed to break through the bullet storm, only to be stopped by the thirty-meter-high inner city wall.

They were gunned down before they could even begin to climb.

The geography of their city gave them a much greater advantage than the other two.

Just then, however, swarms of Blood Breath Bats, Blood Breath Butterflies, and other aerial units descended from the sky.

Qian Luobing was the first to sense the danger and immediately commanded the troops.

"Engage anti-air defenses!"

Anti-aircraft guns swiveled, unleashing a fierce barrage at the aerial monsters descending from the sky.
