Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Decapitation
"Then let’s move out!"
Qian Yun said decisively.
"Alright. Yu Feng!"
Qian Xing called out directly.
"Here!"
Just then, a man wearing a cyan second-generation exoskeleton armor, with dark skin, sharp features, and piercing eyes, stepped forward and spoke respectfully.
"Set up all the Nuclear Bomb launchers. Target the royal city ruins and flatten them for me!"
Qian Xing gave the grim command.
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving his orders, Yu Feng left immediately.
Soon, missile launch vehicles drove to an open area behind the troops.
The operators quickly set the attack coordinates, and one by one, missiles loaded with Nuclear Bombs were raised into position.
--------------------
「Inside the Mountain City Mountain region.」
A dark, crushing mass of Blood Breath Beasts swarmed toward the defense line.
Long Ming and the others fired relentlessly.
BANG BANG—
One after another, Blood Breath Beasts fell unwillingly before the defense line, their dark red blood staining the ground.
However, the subsequent monster tide continued to surge forward without end.
Seeing that the time was right, Qian Wu gave the order.
"Unleash the eleventh round of saturation attacks!"
BOOM! BOOM!
A sky full of artillery shells rained down.
RUMBLE—
Instantly engulfing the monster tide.
Long Ming and the others quickly shot down the remaining Blood Breath Beasts. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, having survived another wave of the monster tide.
Mountain City Mountain’s ammunition supply was still adequate. If they just defended methodically like this, perhaps there was real hope of repelling the monster tide.
Just then, another swarm of Blood Breath Beasts attacked from the distance.
Long Ming and his comrades braced themselves again, preparing to continue wearing down the enemy according to plan.
But at that moment, a dark mass of Blood Breath Bats, Blood Breath Butterflies, and other monsters swarmed from the sky, flying toward their defensive positions.
"Watch out! Airstrike!"
Soldiers shouted warnings one after another.
Long Ming and the others were also startled and quickly raised their firearms to shoot at the sky.
"Activate anti-air weaponry!"
Qian Wei immediately issued the command.
CIWS cannons, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-air missile vehicles activated, firing fiercely at the flying monsters descending from the sky.
BANG BANG—
Countless lines of fire weaved a massive net of firepower in the sky.
Innumerable Blood Breath Bats and Blood Breath Butterflies fell like kites with their strings cut.
But a large number of flying Blood Breath Beasts still broke through the anti-aircraft fire, rushing into the defense line to pounce on soldiers and tear them apart.
"AHH!"
Screams of agony rang out.
"Damn it!"
Many soldiers immediately turned their guns to shoot these Blood Breath Beasts.
In an instant, the entire defense line fell into chaos.
At the same time, the ground tide of Blood Breath Beasts frantically accelerated its charge.
"This is bad, Father."
Qian Wei said, his face paling.
"Artillery, fire!"
A cold glint flashed in Qian Wu’s eyes. He decisively ordered another saturation strike to buy the defenders some breathing room.
In an instant, the twelfth round of saturation bombardment fell.
The violent explosions engulfed countless Blood Breath Beasts, blasting open a vacuum zone.
But the next second, the monster tide of Blood Breath Beasts charged in like mad, instantly filling the vacuum.
"Continue the bombardment!"
Qian Wu decisively ordered his subordinates to continue the saturation strikes.
The artillery positions launched the thirteenth and fourteenth rounds of bombardment in succession.
「In the trenches.」
Long Ming was stunned to see Blood Breath Beasts break through the web of fire and charge over. He twisted his head to look at a nearby machine gun emplacement.
He saw two soldiers lying dead next to the machine gun, bitten to death by Blood Breath Bats.
Long Ming immediately rushed over, pushed the soldiers’ bodies aside, and picked up the heavy DWC-01 Vulcan machine gun, strafing fiercely at the incoming Blood Breath Beasts.
BANG BANG—
Blood Breath Beast after Blood Breath Beast was gunned down.
Seeing this, Jing Chuan hurried over to help him reload.
「Half an hour later.」
Long Ming and his men finally, barely, withstood this wave of the monster tide’s assault. But everyone’s morale had hit rock bottom; they could see no hope of victory.
But just then, someone suddenly shouted in joyful surprise.
"Everyone, look at the Civilization Forum!"
...
Long Ming and the others were taken aback. They raised their wristbands and tapped on the Civilization Forum, where they saw a pinned post: Operation Decapitation.
Embedded in the post was a video.
Qian Yun and Qian Xing appeared in the recording.
"To all our dear comrades, I know you are arduously defending Mountain City Mountain! I want to tell you that you are not fighting alone. At this very moment, we are preparing to launch a decapitation strike against the Aniska royal city ruins—the lair of the Blood Breath Beasts. You must hold on! Victory will be ours!"
Long Ming was stunned when he saw the video.
「In the command area.」
After watching the video Qian Xing had sent, a flicker of excitement flashed in Qian Wu’s eyes. He immediately shouted to Qian Wei.
"Give me the amplifier!"
"Yes, sir."
Qian Wei immediately handed the wireless amplifier to Qian Wu.
Qian Wu took it and spoke directly into it.
"Listen up, everyone! This is your Commander-in-Chief, Qian Wu! I have some exciting news for you. Qian Yun and Qian Xing are leading a secret unit and are currently launching a surprise decapitation strike on the Aniska royal city ruins! As long as we hold on, victory will be ours!"
"Is it true?"
"That’s great!"
...
All the soldiers on the field were stunned at first, but then expressions of ecstasy appeared on their faces.
---------------
「In the wilderness.」
Yu Feng ran up to Qian Yun and Qian Xing and saluted.
"Reporting! We are ready!"
"Launch!"
Qian Xing gave the order without a hint of hesitation.
Yu Feng raised the wireless communication device in his hand and relayed the command.
"Launch!"
WHOOSH— WHOOSH—
One by one, the missiles ignited. Carrying the hopes of humanity, they rose slowly into the air, then shot toward the sky at high speed.
The missiles quickly pierced the clouds and disappeared.
「Aniska Royal City Ruins - Royal Palace Central Plaza.」
The King Level Blood Breath Beast, Makari, and the King Level Blood Breath Beast, Xi’om, were continuously channeling nutrients into a fleshy sphere through their blood tentacles.
Just then, streaks of light broke through the clouds, falling like a meteor shower toward various locations in the Aniska royal city.
"ROAR!"
The King Level Blood Breath Beast, Makari, abruptly raised its head and let out an enraged roar at the sky above.
The blood tentacles all over its body extended, piercing into the blood membrane that enveloped the royal palace.
Then, five Lord Level Blood Breath Beasts—with large red eyeballs and bodies covered in red tentacles—emerged from the blood membrane and shot beams of red light at the sky.
RUMBLE—
Of the twenty Nuclear Bombs falling toward the center of the royal palace, twelve were immediately blown up in mid-air.
Then, dazzling suns burst into existence, directly engulfing the entire blood membrane.
The remaining Nuclear Bombs landed in various parts of the royal city. Blinding lights bloomed, and a destructive shockwave swept out.
「On the distant wilderness.」
Qian Xing watched this scene with his hands behind his back, his brow furrowed.
’Incredible. The Nuclear Bombs aimed at the central area were actually intercepted. I didn’t expect them to have high-level anti-air Blood Breath Beasts hidden in the city.’
"It doesn’t matter. They’ll be blown to bits all the same. And even if they get lucky and survive, I’ll go up there and finish them myself!"
Qian Yun said domineeringly.
"Alright."
Qian Xing nodded.
The explosions soon ended, and the entire Aniska Empire royal city ruins were flattened.
"All units, advance!"
Qian Yun gave the order directly to all troops.
RUMBLE!
Spider tanks, heavy tanks, and a dark mass of soldiers advanced rapidly toward the Aniska royal city ruins.
「Aniska Royal City Ruins - Royal Palace Central Plaza.」
The red blood membrane that had originally enveloped the royal palace had been blown to smithereens.
The one hundred thousand Blood Breath Beasts maintaining the blood membrane were instantly vaporized.
The King Level Blood Breath Beast, Makari, lay collapsed on the ground. Its jellyfish-like body was limp, and the dark red light flowing within it had grown extremely dim.
"Foolish ants! How dare they harm you! I will make sure not even their bones remain!"
The King Level Blood Breath Beast, Xi’om, let out a furious roar.
"Xi’om, don’t lose your head. We absolutely cannot interrupt the nutrient supply to Hilic. Leave the enemies outside to me."
Makari struggled to its feet and flew outward, dragging its injured body.
