Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Encirclement

A short while later, the troops finally managed to retreat from Osmo City.

"Fuck, we finally broke out of the city."

Jing Chuan let out a sigh of relief.

"Don’t celebrate too soon. Look behind you."

Long Ming said to Jing Chuan.

Jing Chuan turned his head to look back and saw swarms of elite Blood Breath Beasts pouring out of Osmo City in pursuit.

"Holy shit, they’re catching up!"

"Are these Blood Breath Beasts part dog or something?"

...

The faces of Jing Chuan and the others turned pale.

"This is to be expected. Now we just have to see if we can outrun them."

Long Ming was also extremely worried.

"At our vehicles’ speed, as long as we don’t run into any major obstacles, outrunning these regular Blood Breath Beasts shouldn’t be a problem."

Luoxue could only try to think positively at this point.

"Let’s hope so."

Long Ming nodded.

Just then, flying monsters like Blood Breath Bats and Blood Breath Butterflies swooped down from the sky.

"Watch the sky!"

Fu Boqing raised the Assaulter in his hands and sprayed a volley of shots into the sky.

Startled, Long Ming and the others also raised their automatic rifles towards the sky.

BANG! BANG!

Blood Breath Bats and Blood Breath Butterflies were shot down one by one.

But many elite-level monsters broke through, swooping down and snatching away the retreating soldiers.

"Ah, save me!"

...

"Zhang Chao!"

Furious roars echoed one after another.

"Abandon the rescue! Retreat!"

Deputy Legion Commander Lu Cang saw this and shouted, his eyes bloodshot.

’We can’t stop now, or we’re all dead.’

The soldiers could only swallow their grief and continue the breakout and retreat.

At that moment, swarms of elite-level Blood Breath Dogs suddenly appeared on both flanks of the retreating column. The Blood Breath Dogs had circled around through the wilderness to attack the retreating troops.

Seeing this, a terrified Jiang Huai shouted to Qian Luobing.

"Miss, this is bad! The elite monsters have caught up! They’re flanking us from both sides!"

Qian Luobing glanced over her shoulder, then issued an order.

"Full speed ahead!"

"Yes, ma’am!"

Everyone responded in unison.

The fleeing troops accelerated, trying to break through before the elite monsters could complete their pincer movement.

Unfortunately, they were a step too slow.

The elite monsters brutally smashed into the rear of the column. They overturned transport vehicles one after another, forcefully cutting off a small section of the convoy.

Instantly, the vehicles behind crashed into the disabled ones in front.

BOOM—

A massive explosion swept through the area, blocking the entire road in an instant.

SCREECH—

The armored transport vehicle carrying Long Ming and the others slammed to a halt.

They were nearly thrown off.

"Dammit, we’ve been cut off."

Jing Chuan said, his face paling.

"Take out those monsters!"

Luoxue immediately charged forward with Long Ming and the others.

They grabbed their few remaining cryo-grenades and threw them at the charging elite Blood Breath Dogs.

BANG—

The cryo-grenades detonated one after another.

BANG! BANG!

Long Ming quickly opened fire.

HOWL!

Elite Blood Breath Dogs were shot down one by one.

But just then, more and more elite Blood Breath Dogs arrived. The more they killed, the more monsters appeared.

Meanwhile, in the main force up ahead, a frantic Bakaen spoke to Qian Luobing.

"Miss, Luoxue and her group have been cut off by the monsters! I’ll go rescue them."

Qian Luobing glanced back. The cut-off section of the troops was small, only about ten thousand soldiers, but the next wave of monsters was already charging. If they stayed to attempt a rescue, they would almost certainly get bogged down.

She issued a chilling order.

"Relay my command! Abandon the cut-off troops! Break out!"

"But... Luoxue is still back there!"

"Miss, please give us some time!"

...

Jiang Huai and the others were shocked and hurriedly tried to persuade her.

Although they didn’t usually get along with Luoxue, she was still the Miss’s younger sister.

"I said abandon them and break out. Even if I were the one back there, the order would be the same."

Qian Luobing gave the command with absolute finality.

Hearing Qian Luobing’s words, Jiang Huai and the others could only grab their wireless communicators and roar at their subordinates.

"Withdraw! Abandon the cut-off troops!"

"Sir, we can’t retreat!"

...

A series of frantic voices cried out.

"This is an order! Execute it!"

Jiang Huai roared at everyone.

"Yes, sir!"

The officers gritted their teeth and complied.

With the order given, the main force continued its breakout.

Jing Chuan and the others watched this, dumbfounded, and turned to Luoxue and Long Ming.

"Luoxue, the main force is breaking through without us! We can’t keep up."

"Let me think."

Luoxue replied calmly.

She wasn’t angry about Qian Luobing’s decision. ’It was the most rational choice.’

Just then, Qian Luobing’s voice came through the wireless communicator on Luoxue’s belt.

"Luoxue, break out on your own!"

"Understood."

Luoxue picked up her communicator and replied to Qian Luobing.

Hearing this, Jing Chuan and the others anxiously asked Luoxue,

"Luoxue, where are we supposed to break out to?

Long Ming glanced around. The road ahead was blocked, a massive horde of Blood Breath Beasts was pursuing them from the city, and the roadsides were nothing but pitted, rugged wilderness where vehicles could barely travel.

He spoke decisively to Luoxue.

"Get everyone out of the vehicles! We’ll break out on foot to the left and flee towards the Bukeao Mountain Range."

"Alright! Everyone, dismount! We’re breaking out to the left!"

Hearing Long Ming, Luoxue gave the order without any hesitation.

"Get out of the vehicles! Everyone, break out to the left!"

Jing Chuan and the others started shouting at the surrounding soldiers.

Soldiers scrambled to abandon their vehicles and jump out.

"Go!"

Long Ming and his group provided covering fire as everyone broke out to the left, continuously shooting at the attacking Blood Breath Dogs.

HOWL!

Blood Breath Dogs were killed one after another.

Nevertheless, Blood Breath Dogs kept charging forward, pouncing on and taking down soldiers.

"AHH—Save me!"

A continuous stream of horrific screams rang out.

"Fall back! We can’t save them!"

Jing Chuan roared repeatedly as he witnessed the scene.

’If we don’t get out of here now, we’re all going to die.’

Long Ming scanned the area, watching as soldier after soldier was taken down by the Blood Breath Dogs. He forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart and kept shooting the pursuing beasts.

Time ticked by.

Long Ming and the others desperately tried to break out to the left, but on two legs, they simply couldn’t outrun the Blood Breath Dogs.

More and more Blood Breath Dogs caught up from behind.

"AHH!"

Soldiers were pounced upon and torn to shreds one by one.

"It’s no use! The monsters are catching up!"

Jing Chuan shrieked while gunning down the pursuing Blood Breath Dogs.

Long Ming’s expression flickered, and he then said to Luoxue and the others,

"This isn’t working, we’ll never escape! Someone has to stay behind to draw the monsters’ attention."

"Dammit, I’ll stay and hold them off! You guys go!"

Jing Chuan said fiercely.

"No need. Since this plan was my idea, I’ll be the one to stay behind with a team to draw them away."

Long Ming volunteered.

"Both of you, stop arguing. As the commander, I’ll be the one to lead the team and stay behind."

Luoxue said with firm resolve.

"No. You’re the commander, which is all the more reason you can’t stay. Let me do it."

Long Ming immediately shut her down.
