Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Hope

"What is it?"

Qian Luo noticed the strange look on Qian Ying’s face and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Father, the Abyss Lord of Sinful City and the council of elders from Star Tower wish to have a remote conference with you."

"Coming to me at a time like this... it’s definitely not for anything good."

Qian Luo replied hoarsely after listening to Qian Ying.

"Should we refuse them?"

"No need. Connect the remote conference."

"Yes!"

Qian Ying immediately began the procedure.

Soon, the projection equipment activated, and the blurry figure of the Abyss Lord and the images of Elder Fakam and the others appeared.

City Lord Qian Luo, who had just been a withered figure on the verge of death, instantly underwent a dramatic transformation. His entire aura changed as he spoke with majestic authority.

"You have the nerve to come to me? The agreement we made, you just tore it up whenever you felt like it!"

Seeing City Lord Qian Luo’s accusation, Elder Fakam immediately began to explain.

"City Lord Qian Luo, we never intended to break the tri-city agreement, but you can’t just keep everything for yourself."

"Hmph. If that’s the case, what are you doing here?"

As Qian Luo spoke, he moved to cut the connection.

Seeing this, Fakam hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"City Lord Qian Luo, please, don’t be hasty. We can talk this out."

Just then, the Abyss Lord also spoke up with a cold sneer.

"You old bastard, we may have broken the agreement, but we didn’t attack your people or seize your city. As for the ruins of the Royal City, I’m afraid you can’t handle it alone. Careful you don’t bite off more than you can chew."

"That’s none of your concern!"

Qian Luo looked at the Abyss Lord and replied coldly.

At this point, Romage saw that the talks were about to collapse and quickly chimed in.

"City Lord Qian Luo, we admit that what we did before wasn’t exactly proper, but what’s done is done. Please don’t hold it against us. With something as good as the Royal City ruins, would you believe us if we said we weren’t tempted?"

"Candid enough. Fine, what do you want?"

Qian Luo asked in a cold voice.

"It’s like this. You’ve seen how massive this monster tide is. Our forces can’t hold them back. Once these monsters break through our blockade, we’re all doomed. So, we’re proposing that all three cities use their Nuclear Bombs to level them."

Romage explained to City Lord Qian Luo.

In fact, the reason they had to approach City Lord Qian Luo was that they couldn’t unilaterally use their Nuclear Bombs.

The stockpiles of Nuclear Bombs in the three major cities were actually quite similar. Therefore, they needed Mountain City Mountain to use theirs as well to maintain the balance of power.

There was another point, of course. Without satellite guidance, they needed aerial or ground-based relay signals to guide the long-range ballistic missiles for a precise launch. That was the only way to ensure it went off without a hitch.

However, the paths to the three major economic cities had all been secured by Mountain City Mountain, so only they had set up the necessary relay signal network.

After hearing Elder Romage’s words, Qian Luo fell into thought.

Just then, the Abyss Lord spoke coldly.

"Old man, yes or no? Give us a straight answer. It’s not just our troops getting hammered by this monster tide. If they can’t hold on, your descendants out there will be the first to die."

"Fine."

City Lord Qian Luo said hoarsely.

"Good! Then we will initiate Operation: Dawn’s Light!"

Elder Luogema finalized the matter directly.

...

The inner city of Osmo City.

Long Ming, Luoxue, and the others were continuously firing at the Blood Breath Bats circling in the sky.

BANG! BANG!

Blood Breath Bats fell one after another.

Jing Chuan, gripping a mounted machine gun with both hands and firing wildly, shouted to Luoxue.

"Luoxue, the number of monsters is still increasing! There’s no sign of them letting up!"

Hearing Jing Chuan, Luoxue’s brow furrowed. She glanced down from the city wall.

Below, she saw a dense, writhing mass of Blood Breath Beasts.

These Blood Breath Beasts had completely surrounded the inner city and were desperately trying to climb the walls.

However, the inner city walls were extremely high, so they couldn’t make it up. They could only mill about anxiously below.

Long Ming also scanned the battlefield and said to Luoxue.

"This isn’t good. We’ve become an isolated island. We can’t keep this up. Once we run out of ammo, we’re completely finished."

"Let me think."

Luoxue didn’t know what to do either.

Just then, the inner city’s broadcast system crackled to life again. Qiansha’s solemn voice came through.

"Attention everyone. This is Qiansha, supreme commander of the tri-city defense. I have an official announcement to make!"

Hearing Qiansha’s city-wide broadcast, Long Ming and the others pricked up their ears to listen.

"Mountain City Mountain, Sinful City, and Star Tower have reached an agreement to initiate Operation: Dawn’s Light. The three cities will launch a long-range Nuclear Bomb strike against the monster tide. However, due to preparation and guidance requirements, the earliest launch time will be dawn tomorrow. Therefore, starting now, we must defend our positions with all our might until tomorrow morning!"

"That’s great!"

Hearing Qiansha’s words, Bakaen and the others roared with excitement.

Although the monster tide was still suffocating them, for this one moment, they saw a glimmer of hope.

Long Ming was also very surprised. He turned his head to Luoxue and asked.

"A nuclear strike?"

"Are you surprised?"

Luoxue replied with a smile.

"Pretty surprised. I didn’t think the three cities would actually be willing to play their trump cards. But if this is happening, we should have a chance."

Long Ming nodded.

In truth, for various reasons, the three cities had a very limited number of Nuclear Bombs. They wouldn’t normally bring them out unless it was a situation of absolute last resort.

"Don’t celebrate too early. We need to hold out until tomorrow morning. That’s going to be a long, long time."

Luoxue said, her expression extremely grave.

"It’s definitely going to be tough."

Hearing this, Long Ming raised his wristband to check the time. It was 4:35 PM. That meant at least twelve more hours until dawn.

Just then, a tremendous roar echoed from the distance.

Startled by the sound, Long Ming and the others quickly turned to look. A seven-meter-tall, three-blooded-eyed, ape-like creature covered in red, fleshy lumps had appeared within the monster tide: the Lord Level Blood Breath Beast, Gegaka.

"Damn it, a Lord Level Blood Breath Beast has appeared!"

Seeing it, Jiang Huai and his men tensed up and reported to Qian Luobing.

The fight against that Fakamo fellow had left them with psychological scars.

Just then, Gegaka roared and charged into the outer city, advancing rapidly toward the inner city wall.

Scrapped cars and buildings in its path were all crushed to dust with unstoppable force.

"Order the rocket launchers and artillery positions to concentrate fire!"

Qian Luobing ordered, her eyes turning cold.

"Yes, ma’am!"

Jiang Huai immediately picked up his wireless communicator to relay the order.

BANG! BANG!

Rockets and artillery shells rained down on Gegaka.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

Countless explosions swept over the area.

Gegaka was sent flying by the blasts, slamming heavily into the wall of a large building.

Watching this, Long Ming felt the tension in his heart ease slightly. ’It seems even a Lord Level monster has a tough time under such a barrage of firepower.’

But in the next second, Gegaka climbed back up, grabbed a nearby Blood Breath Dog, and swallowed it in one gulp. Instantly, the mangled wounds all over its body began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"ROAR!"

Gegaka tilted its head back, roared at the sky, and charged toward the inner city once more.
