Chapter 240: Chapter 240: A New Round

「On the walls of Osmo City.」

Qian Luobing, Luoxue, Long Ming, and the others quietly gazed at the remaining Blood Breath Beasts in the distance.

Just then, Jiang Huai picked up a communication device, handed it to Qian Luobing, and said,

"Miss, Qiansha and Qian Hai have initiated a long-range communication. They likely want to discuss the next phase of our battle strategy."

Qian Luobing took the device, connected to the long-range communication, and spoke coolly.

"This is Qian Luobing."

"Everyone’s here. Let’s start the strategy meeting."

Qiansha’s deep voice rang out.

"I’m telling you, Brother, the situation here isn’t looking good! I don’t know what it’s like on your end, but the remaining monsters on my side have all undergone various degrees of evolution. And these evolved Blood Breath Beasts are starting to gather. They’re about to launch a second wave of attacks on us."

Qian Hai spoke directly to Qiansha.

Hearing Qian Hai’s words, Qian Luobing looked up and gazed into the distance.

She saw that the evolved Blood Breath Beasts were indeed starting to gather.

"What’s there to be afraid of? The Nuclear Bombs might not have wiped them all out, but they eliminated at least ninety percent. Even if the rest have evolved, their numbers are limited. With our current forces, wiping them out will be a piece of cake."

Qiansha said to the other two with great confidence.

"So you’re saying we should continue to hold our ground?"

"Obviously. We’ve fought this hard to get to this point. If we retreat now, wouldn’t all our previous efforts be for nothing?"

"Fine, I have no objections."

Qian Hai said nothing more.

"I have no objections either."

Qian Luobing stated impassively.

"Then prepare for the next battle. Once we finish off the remaining Blood Breath Beasts, we’ll have won!"

Qiansha settled the matter with commanding authority.

Qian Luobing disconnected the call, turned to everyone present, and announced,

"Everyone, rest and regroup! Prepare to face the next wave of battle!"

"Yes, ma’am!"

Bakaen and the others responded in unison.

The defending soldiers immediately sprang back into action. They began gathering weapons and ammunition from their fallen comrades, quickly preparing for the coming fight.

The anchor, Nansi, turned her camera toward the soldiers moving on the wall and reported live.

"Everyone, the soldiers of the Second and Third Legions are now quickly regrouping to face a new assault from the monsters. Although the number of monsters in this wave isn’t very large, they have undergone various degrees of evolution due to the radiation. Therefore, the battle ahead will be extremely fierce."

...

「At the ruins of Mandi City, on the border of the Aniska Empire.」

Many of the personnel left behind and unaffiliated fighters were watching the live broadcast from the three economic strongholds.

"Sigh, I really thought we had won. Turns out there’s a second round!"

"What in the world are these Blood Breath Beasts? They can even absorb radiation to evolve."

"That’s just insane."

"Yeah, something feels really off!"

"What do we do now? We fought so hard to get this far."

...

Just as everyone was anxiously discussing the situation,

sudden, intense gunfire and explosions erupted from outside the city.

"What’s going on? Is a fight breaking out outside the city?"

"I don’t know!"

...

The people inside the city were stunned by the sudden noise.

At that moment, someone rushed in and shouted to everyone,

"This is bad! A large number of Blood Breath Beasts have appeared outside the city!"

"What? How can there be Blood Breath Beasts here?"

"Could they have slipped past the main forces?"

"Probably. The three economic strongholds intercepted the majority of the monster tide, but a lot of Blood Breath Beasts still got around them."

"Shit, what do we do then?"

"What’s there to be scared of? How many monsters could have slipped through?"

"Let’s take them out!"

...

The unaffiliated fighters grabbed their weapons and rushed outside the city.

「On the walls of Osmo City.」

Long Ming, Luoxue, and the others stared into the distance as a new monster tide, formed by elite-class Blood Breath Beasts, slowly advanced toward them.

Jing Chuan and the others had sweaty palms. He said nervously,

"This is going to be a tough fight. We don’t have much ammunition left, and our aerial resupply has been cut off."

"All we can do now is fight to the bitter end. There’s no other way."

Long Ming said with a grim expression.

At this time, Jiang Huai stared at the approaching tide of elite monsters, took a deep breath, and said to Qian Luobing,

"Miss, the monsters have entered maximum firing range!"

"Attack!"

Qian Luobing gave the command with a wave of her hand.

WHOOSH!

A sparse volley of rockets and artillery shells rained down on the tide of elite monsters.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

Violent explosions erupted one after another.

When the smoke from the explosions cleared,

the monster tide composed of elites had not been broken by the barrage. Instead, it charged forward even faster.

"It’s no use. Our covering fire is too ineffective."

Bakaen and the others also frowned deeply.

"Prepare for close-quarters combat and melee."

Qian Luobing was not at all surprised by this result.

Just then, the distant horizon was suddenly stained red.

Jiang Huai rubbed his eyes and said in utter disbelief,

"Am I seeing things?"

"Seeing what?"

Bakaen and the others felt their hearts tighten and immediately looked at Jiang Huai.

"Look! The horizon!"

Jiang Huai quickly pointed into the distance.

Qian Luobing and the others all looked up toward the distance, only to see swarms of Blood Breath Beasts appearing on the horizon.

"My God, is that another monster tide?"

Bakaen and the others were dumbfounded.

Qian Luobing immediately said to Jiang Huai,

"Send a drone over there to check it out!"

"Yes, ma’am!"

Jiang Huai immediately piloted a drone over, and soon he had captured video footage.

Human-faced Blood Breath Spiders, Blood-Hunt Beasts, Blood-Calamity Pythons, and other high-level Blood Breath Beasts filled the screen.

"Holy shit, it really is a Blood Breath Beast tide, and they’re all high-level variants!"

Cold sweat instantly beaded on Jiang Huai’s back.

Qian Luobing’s expression also darkened. It was obvious now that the Blood Breath Beasts they had killed before were nothing but cannon fodder.

At that moment, Jing Chuan and the others also noticed the emerging monster tide and cried out in shock.

"Holy crap, a monster tide!"

"We’re done for!"

...

Long Ming’s heart sank. He immediately turned to look at Luoxue.

Luoxue understood immediately and led them to find Qian Luobing.

...

「Right flank outside Uzika City · Star Tower forces’ defensive line.」

Lair stared at the monster tide appearing in the distance and said to Farina and Gefens in terror,

"This is bad! A new monster tide has appeared on the distant horizon!"

"How is there another tide?"

Hearing Lair’s words, Gefens flew into a rage. So many of their people had died holding back the last tide, and now another one was suddenly appearing.

Hearing this, Farina spoke softly to Gefens.

"Gefens, we should retreat!"

"Retreat? Then wouldn’t the people we sacrificed have died in vain?"

"We don’t have much ammunition left; we can’t possibly hold against another monster tide. If we retreat now, we can still make it. But if we wait until the people from Mountain City Mountain also pull back, it’ll be too difficult for us to get out."

"Commander Gefens, Commander Farina is right. If we don’t retreat now, it’ll be too late."

Lair chimed in, trying to persuade him.

"Retreat!"

Gefens made a swift decision, then agreed through gritted teeth.
