Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Pincer Attack

In immense pain, Vigak rammed toward a tank with Qiansha on its back.

Qiansha decisively flipped off Vigak’s body.

BOOM!

Vigak sent the tank flying.

After landing, Qiansha saw his chance and charged again. He locked onto Vigak’s body, stabbed deep, and then ripped his weapon backward!

Vigak’s body was instantly torn open.

It let out a pained howl and turned to flee into the monster horde behind it.

Normally, Qiansha would have chased it down and finished it off, but this time he resisted the impulse. Instead, he roared at his subordinates.

"Charge with me!"

Under the cover of the bombers, the entire army pushed forward to break through.

Blood Breath Beasts continued to pour in from both sides.

The main force still found it incredibly difficult to advance.

「Meanwhile, at the Mountain City Mountain long-range launch site.」

Launch vehicles for long-range missiles were set up, one after another. All missiles were ready.

Qian Wu raised his wristband, viewing the real-time battlefield situation through Civilization Paradise.

When he saw Qiansha leading his troops in a major breakout, he picked up his wireless communication device and issued a simultaneous command to the launch sites of the three cities.

"Fire!"

SWOOSH!

One by one, long-range ballistic missiles soared into the sky, streaking toward the battlefield at incredible speed.

「On the battlefield.」

Qiansha continuously swung his greatsword, slaughtering one Blood Breath Beast after another as he led his men in a desperate attempt to break out.

Just then, the Blood Breath Beasts swarmed in from both sides, using their bodies to physically block the main force’s advance.

Alang said anxiously.

"Commander Qiansha, the number of monsters is rising fast! We can’t break through!"

"If we can’t break through, we break through anyway!"

Qiansha roared, his eyes bloodshot.

At that moment, streaks of light cut across the sky, landing on both flanks of the monster horde up ahead.

RUMBLE~

A massive explosion swept out, engulfing countless Blood Breath Beasts.

The shockwave, thick with dust, washed over them.

Seeing this, Qiansha knew his chance had come. He roared at the top of his lungs.

"Brothers, charge!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers all surged forward to the slaughter.

「Rift Valley’s Edge.」

Swift as the wind, Balud led the charge toward Long Ming, its gaping maw snapping at him.

Long Ming sidestepped the attack and swung his Dark Blade, slashing across Balud’s body.

SCHLICK~

A gash was instantly cut into Balud’s body, revealing the dark red biological tissue within.

At that moment, Luoxue swiftly closed in, leaped into the air, and brought her blade down on Balud’s neck.

CRACK!

A deep cut was instantly carved into Balud’s neck.

Balud was instantly enraged. It opened its mouth wide toward the ground and spewed a terrifying red mist, enveloping Long Ming and Luoxue.

The terrifyingly high temperature instantly caused the surface of their equipment to heat up rapidly.

Long Ming and Luoxue immediately fell back, rushing out of the red mist and regrouping.

Just then, Balud’s entire body turned crimson, and its wounds began to heal rapidly.

It leaped, pouncing toward the two of them.

Long Ming and Luoxue dodged to the left and right, respectively.

After its pounce missed, Balud turned and charged Long Ming, swiping its claws at him.

Seeing that he couldn’t dodge, Long Ming raised his Dark Blade and swung it forward.

CLANG!

The sharp claws and the Dark Blade collided.

An immense Power swept over him.

Long Ming immediately used the force of the blow to retreat and create distance, panting as he watched Balud.

’My Power is fading. If I’m not mistaken, it must be because I’ve been overtaxing the power armor. My body is starting to give out.’

At that moment, smaller Blood Breath Dogs seized the opportunity to pounce on Long Ming.

Long Ming swept his left claw out horizontally.

CRACK!

The small Blood Breath Dogs were instantly torn to shreds.

"AHH!"

A series of agonizing screams rang out.

Long Ming was startled. He glanced around and saw his soldiers being pinned down and devoured by Blood Breath Dogs.

Jing Chuan and the others desperately shot down one Blood Breath Dog after another, but they were simply overwhelmed by the sheer numbers.

The entire battlefield was on the verge of collapse.

Long Ming and Luoxue wanted to help, but Balud was baring its teeth, its eyes fixed on them.

Just as everyone was beginning to despair,

A sudden, explosive shout echoed out.

"Brothers, hold on! We’re here!"

Hearing the roar, Luoxue and the others froze, all looking up.

They saw Legion Commander Rein leading a swarm of soldiers down from the mountain peak, firing fiercely at the Blood Breath Dogs from the rear.

BANG! BANG!

One Blood Breath Dog after another was shot down before it could even react.

"It’s reinforcements! Kill them!"

Jing Chuan and the others launched an overjoyed counterattack.

Luoxue looked at Long Ming in astonishment.

"You called for them?"

"Yeah."

A faint smile touched the corner of Long Ming’s mouth.

In fact, when he’d decided to break out, he had left a message for Xiaopang on the Civilization Paradise forums, asking him to get help from Rein. But he’d had no idea if Rein would actually come to his rescue.

"AWOO!"

At that moment, Balud turned toward the charging Rein and let out an angry roar.

Legion Commander Rein didn’t indulge it, charging over with savage force.

The Blood Breath Dogs in his path were sent flying.

Long Ming was shocked by this display of power. The heavy armor Eric had worn was the same model as Rein’s, but their presence was completely different.

Balud charged straight for Legion Commander Rein, slashing at him with a claw.

Rein swung the double-bladed axe in his hands, bringing it down in a vicious chop.

The two attacks collided.

The air seemed to shudder for a moment.

Balud let out a pained howl, its massive body stumbling backward. A bloody gash had been split open on its claw.

"Luoxue, let’s go!"

Long Ming immediately charged forward.

Luoxue followed without hesitation.

They attacked Balud from behind simultaneously, swinging their weapons at its hind legs.

CRACK!

A terrifying wound was hacked into Balud’s left leg, while its right leg was severed completely.

Balud collapsed, letting out a roar of agony.

Rein seized the opportunity, leaped high into the air, and brought his double-bladed axe down.

"Die!"

CRACK!

Balud’s head was split in two.

Seeing this, Long Ming’s eyelids twitched.

He knew Rein was strong, but he never thought he was *this* strong.

In fact, the first time Long Ming had met Rein, the man had already been fighting for a full day and night and was not in his peak condition.

"Brother, are you okay?"

After finishing off Balud, Rein asked Long Ming with concern.

"I’m fine. Good thing you all came when you did, otherwise we’d have really been done for."

Long Ming said gratefully.

"Don’t mention it. We’ll cover your retreat!"

Rein said to Long Ming and the others.

"Alright!"

Long Ming immediately led his people to retreat with Rein and his men.

「Battlefield outside Mandi City.」

Qiansha led his main force, desperately killing Blood Breath Beasts in an attempt to break out.

But these Blood Breath Beasts were all acting as if they were possessed, throwing themselves at the soldiers in wave after suicidal wave, successfully bogging down the main force.

"Qiansha, we can’t go on like this! The Blood Breath Beast hordes flanking us will arrive soon, and then we’ll be trapped!"

Just then, Qian Hai rushed to Qiansha’s side and reminded him in a cold tone.

"Dammit!"

Qiansha gritted his teeth in frustration.

But there was nothing he could do. After all, everyone was already giving it their all.

The main reason they couldn’t break through was that they were low on ammunition; their firepower was nowhere near as intense as it had been at the start.

And just when they were at their wits’ end,

BANG! BANG!

Suddenly, countless gunshots rang out, followed by a chorus of roars.

"Kill them!"

Qiansha and his men were stunned. They looked past the monster horde and saw countless freelancers charging toward them.

"We’re here to back you up!"

"Hold on!"

...

"Freelancers?"

Qian Hai’s expression went blank when he saw them.

Even Qiansha was shocked.

He never expected that at this critical moment, the very freelancers he looked down on the most would spontaneously organize a rescue effort.

Qiansha took a deep breath and roared to everyone.

"Our reinforcements are here! Charge!"

"Kill!"

The morale of the soldiers on the field skyrocketed, and they charged forward with renewed vigor.

In the blink of an eye, the remaining Blood Breath Beasts were gradually crushed in the pincer attack.

The two forces successfully linked up.

"Retreat! Quickly!"

Qian Hai immediately yelled to everyone.

Escorted by the freelancers, the main force began a rapid withdrawal.
