Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Retreat

Aimengka City – Sinful City Defense Line.

Modick held a pair of optical binoculars, gazing at the monster tide surging in the distance. The muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.

"Modick, what do we do now?"

Padoka and the others looked anxiously at Modick.

"What else can we do? Retreat!"

Modick gave the order without a moment’s hesitation.

"Right!"

Padoka and the others didn’t hesitate for a second.

...

On the walls of Osmo City.

Luoxue led Long Ming and the others to Qian Luobing’s side and called out.

"Sister."

"What is it?"

Qian Luobing shot Luoxue a cold glance.

"The situation’s bad. Another massive monster tide has appeared. Our ammunition is limited; we can’t possibly hold them off. We have to retreat."

"Do you think retreating is that simple? And do you think this is a situation where you can just retreat whenever you feel like it? Even if we were to retreat, all three parties would have to do it together. If we pull out on our own and cause problems for Qiansha and Qian Hai on the flanks, we’ll be branded as deserters!"

"Then what do we do?"

Luoxue knew, of course, that Qian Luobing was right.

"Jiang Huai, contact Qiansha and Qian Hai!"

Qian Luobing said, turning her head to Jiang Huai.

"Yes, ma’am!"

Jiang Huai immediately picked up the communication device and tried to establish a long-range connection with the two of them.

Soon, the connection was successfully established.

"Miss, I’ve got them!"

Jiang Huai quickly handed the communication device to Qian Luobing.

After taking it, Qian Luobing bluntly asked Qiansha and Qian Hai,

"Have you seen the new monster tide?"

"Damn it, yes!"

"What’s the plan?"

"Just wait. I’ll contact Grandfather right now!"

Qiansha said, annoyed.

"Hurry up! Those bastards from Star Tower City saw things were going south and have already started pulling out!"

Qian Hai urged Qiansha.

"Like I need you to tell me! The guys from Sinful City have pulled out too. Both groups are completely unreliable, a bunch of spineless cowards."

Qiansha cursed irritably.

...

「Mountain City Mountain, City Lord’s Mansion Conference Room.」

On the live broadcast feeds from the three cities, panicked reports from streamers like Pilates could be seen.

"Oh my god, a new wave of monsters is attacking!"

"It’s over! We’re dead for sure this time!"

"No way... We just barely won."

"What do we do now?"

"What else can we do? Evacuate! We can’t just wait here to die, can we?"

...

Countless scrolling comments flooded the screen.

City Lord Qian Luo’s expression was grim as he watched the footage of the new monster tide.

BZZT—

Qian Ying’s wristband suddenly vibrated, and a message popped up.

He glanced at the message, his expression shifting slightly as he spoke to City Lord Qian Luo.

"Father, this is bad. A large number of Blood Breath Beasts have been spotted on the border of the Aniska Empire. They’re forming an encirclement."

Hearing Qian Ying’s words, City Lord Qian Luo was seized by a violent coughing fit.

"What about Qian Yun?"

"Still no contact."

Qian Ying replied, shaking his head.

After listening to Qian Ying, City Lord Qian Luo’s expression shifted rapidly before he spoke.

"A new monster tide to the front, and an encirclement from the rear... There’s no hope. Order Qiansha and the others to retreat immediately. They must break through before the monsters close the gap, or everyone will be wiped out!"

"Understood!"

Qian Ying responded at once.

...

On the walls of Osmo City.

Jiang Huai and the others watched the approaching monster tide, anxiously awaiting a decision from Qiansha’s side.

Although the newly emerged monster tide was still some distance away, the elite monster tide from before had already entered the outer city. Now, it was charging straight for the inner city.

Just then, Qiansha’s furious voice came through the communicator.

"Qian Luobing! Qian Hai! I just received an order from the City Lord. He’s ordering an immediate retreat! Our rear is about to be surrounded by a monster tide."

"What did you say? We’re being flanked by monsters from the rear?"

Qian Hai was stunned.

"That’s right. There’s no point talking about it now. We retreat immediately! We’ll regroup behind our lines and break out!"

Qiansha told them both.

"Understood."

Hearing this, Qian Luobing cut the connection.

Luoxue and the others all turned to look at Qian Luobing.

"Sister, we need to retreat now."

"It won’t be that easy. When we were defending, Osmo City’s terrain was an advantage. Now, it’s become an obstacle."

Qian Luobing said in a cold voice.

Hearing Qian Luobing’s words, Long Ming and the others looked down from the city wall.

They saw that the area below the inner city was completely swarmed by Blood Breath Beasts, layer upon layer.

These Blood Breath Beasts simply couldn’t climb up; it wasn’t that they had all been eliminated.

"Then what should we do?"

The expressions on Luoxue and the others’ faces turned grim.

"Order all troops to abandon heavy weapons with no ammunition! Everyone is to fall back to the inner city’s southern exit and prepare for a breakout!"

Qian Luobing gave the order decisively.

"Yes, ma’am!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Instantly, the Second and Third Legions inside the inner city sprang into action.

Tanks, spider tanks, and rocket launchers all began moving toward the southern exit.

"Quick, fall back to the exit!"

"Abandon all heavy artillery that’s out of ammunition!"

...

Numerous officers relentlessly urged their subordinates onward.

Soon, the forces of the two legions had gathered at the southern exit of the inner city.

Soldiers were now dismantling the debris blocking the exit.

When Qian Luobing saw that it was almost clear, she turned her head and gave an order to Jiang Huai and the others.

"Move out!"

"Clear the monsters outside!"

Jiang Huai immediately relayed the command.

The numerous soldiers on the southern city wall hurled a massive number of bombs down at the besieging monster tide below.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

The massive explosions blew the Blood Breath Beasts blocking the gate to smithereens.

"Open it!"

Bakaen roared.

The sealed gate of the southern inner city was slowly pulled open.

RUMBLE~

The city walls on both sides of the gate were also blasted open.

Tanks and spider tanks fired first, blasting apart the piles of corpses, then charged through the gate.

RUSH!

Swarms of Blood Breath Beasts charged at them.

The groups of tanks and spider tanks fired continuously as they crushed their way forward, pulverizing the attacking monsters to clear a path for everyone.

"Go!"

With a wave of her hand, Qian Luobing led the troops out of the inner city.

When they had first attacked this city, they had parked some of their transport vehicles on the streets of the southern outer city.

Now they needed to retrieve those vehicles to break out and escape.

Long Ming and the others ran alongside the armored transport vehicles, firing continuously at the monsters attacking from the sides as they broke through.

BANG! BANG!

Blood Breath Beasts were shot down one by one.

However, some Blood Breath Beasts still charged through the hail of fire, rushing into the retreating formation and pouncing on soldiers.

"AHH!"

...

Screams of pain rang out continuously.

"Bastards!"

Their comrades nearby angrily gunned down the Blood Breath Beasts that had broken through. Some, their eyes red with bloodlust, even stopped in their tracks to fight.

"Don’t get bogged down in the fight! Keep moving!"

Vice-Legion Commander Lu Cang shouted anxiously when he saw this.

"Yes, sir!"

Several officers rushed forward to drag away their comrades who had stopped.

At the same time, Bakaen was also roaring at the top of his lungs.

"Get on the vehicles!"

The escorting soldiers scrambled onto the transport vehicles.

But because there weren’t enough vehicles, many of them had to cling directly to the exteriors.

Long Ming, Luoxue, and a few others climbed onto the roof of an armored transport vehicle, providing covering fire for the retreating troops.
