Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Clown

The outer defense line of Star Tower.

Countless Blood Breath Beasts surged forward like a crimson tide, wave after relentless wave.

BOOM! BOOM!

Countless rockets and artillery shells rained down.

RUMBLE...

Hordes of Blood Breath Beasts broke through the barrage and charged straight for the defense line.

"Damn it! Kill them all! Don’t let a single monster get through!"

Gefens roared in fury at the subordinates defending the line.

"Yes, sir!"

The soldiers fought desperately to hold them back.

The fighting was fierce and grueling.

Inside the main hall of Star Tower.

Elder Fakam and the other elders sat in mechanical chairs. Before them was a holographic communication screen displaying the Abyss Lord of Sinful City.

At the same time, a projector played footage of Qian Xing and Qian Yun’s assault on the ruins of the Aniska Royal City.

"Damn it, we’ve all been tricked!"

"Those bastards from Mountain City Mountain played us all for fools! They got us to stir up this Blood Breath Beast hornet’s nest with them, making us share the fallout, only to sneak off and attack the royal city ruins themselves!"

...

Elder Fakam and the others were livid.

And it was no wonder they were so furious. After all, they were currently being swarmed by a tide of monsters and facing a battle for their very survival, while those bastards from Mountain City Mountain had gone off to raid the royal city.

If Mountain City Mountain succeeded, they would reap all the rewards, while everyone else would just be their stepping stones.

"Hmph. You were outplayed. What’s the use of complaining about it now?"

the Abyss Lord said coldly.

"Abyss Lord, are you just going to let this slide?"

Elder Fakam demanded, his face dark.

"Let it slide? How foolish. You still don’t grasp the situation. You’d better pray that Mountain City Mountain’s beheading operation succeeds. Otherwise, this won’t be a matter of profit and loss. We’ll all just die."

The Abyss Lord reminded Elder Fakam and the others with a sinister smirk.

Hearing the Abyss Lord’s words, Elder Fakam and the others exchanged glances, their expressions growing even more grim.

They felt an immense sense of resentment, but their rational minds told them the Abyss Lord was right.

If Mountain City Mountain’s beheading operation were to fail, they would all be doomed.

"Then what should we do now?"

Elder Fakam asked, taking a deep breath.

"We do nothing. Defend to the death and wait for their beheading operation to succeed. And don’t be stupid enough to try and sabotage them, unless you have a death wish!"

the Abyss Lord warned Elder Fakam and the others.

"We’re not that stupid!"

Elder Fakam and the others snapped back.

"That’s for the best."

With that, the Abyss Lord cut the transmission.

Mountain City Mountain, C11 Defense Line.

"Aaargh!"

Gripping a Vulcan heavy machine gun, Long Ming unleashed a furious barrage at the Blood Breath Beasts that had broken through.

Blood Breath Beasts were riddled with holes and collapsed, but more surged forward endlessly to take their place, as if the tide would never end.

"Shit, have these monsters gone insane? Their assault just got way more intense!"

Jing Chuan cursed as he moved up next to Long Ming and began reloading.

"They must be getting desperate! Someone probably kicked their nest."

Long Ming replied calmly.

"Makes sense. It’s about time these bastards started to panic."

An excited look spread across Jing Chuan’s face after he heard Long Ming’s words.

"Don’t celebrate too soon. Now it’s a question of which side breaks first."

Long Ming warned, his expression grave.

"Then let’s waste ’em!"

With that, Jing Chuan ran to the rear to grab more ammo.

Meanwhile, at the A3 defensive position.

The Pomide Clan Leader and Legion Commander Rein were watching the footage of Qian Xing and Qian Yun using a Nuclear Bomb to level the ruins of the Aniska Royal City.

The two were so shocked they were at a loss for words.

"Clan Leader, these people from Mountain City Mountain... their cunning is terrifying, isn’t it? I never imagined they were capable of going this far."

A chill ran down Legion Commander Rein’s back.

"Yes, it’s incredible. To use an entire race as bait for a chance at a beheading strike... If only we’d had that kind of audacity, our people might not have been wiped out."

An expression filled with deep emotion crossed the Pomide Clan Leader’s face.

Even though he had taken refuge with Mountain City Mountain, in his eyes, the people of Mountain City Mountain and the other two cities had always seemed like people from a bygone era.

"Clan Leader, I think they actually have a chance of defeating the Blood Breath Beasts!"

Legion Commander Rein said to the Pomide Clan Leader.

"You’re right. Defend our position with everything we’ve got!"

the Pomide Clan Leader immediately commanded Rein.

"Yes, sir!"

Rein replied, his voice firm.

...

Time trickled by.

「At dusk.」

The Blood Breath Beast assault grew ever more ferocious.

Watching the scene unfold, Qian Wu waved his hand and issued another order.

"Begin the sixteenth round of saturation strikes!"

"Yes, sir!"

Qian Wei responded immediately.

WHOOSH—

A torrent of artillery shells and rockets filled the sky.

But just then, countless Blood Breath Bats and Blood Breath Butterflies suddenly swarmed over the defense line, making a beeline for the artillery positions in the rear.

Seeing this, Qian Wei’s face paled as he reported to Qian Wu in alarm.

"This is bad, Father! The flying monsters are attacking the artillery positions!"

"Hmph. What is there to panic about?"

Qian Wu was completely unfazed.

And just as the Blood Breath Bats and Blood Breath Butterflies neared the artillery positions...

The ground of the artillery positions split open, and cylindrical close-in weapon systems rose to the surface.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The CIWS cannons unleashed a furious barrage.

A curtain of flak tore through the sky.

POP! POP! POP!

The Blood Breath Bats and Blood Breath Butterflies were riddled with holes, and a gruesome rain of flesh and blood fell from the sky.

Qian Wei breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the attack had been repelled.

But just at that moment, the situation took an unexpected turn.

High in the sky, flocks of Blood Breath Birds suddenly appeared. They were shaped like peregrine falcons, about a meter in size, and their bodies were covered in dark red growths.

The Blood Breath Birds spread their wings and dove toward the artillery positions at high speed, like a meteor shower.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The CIWS turrets swiveled rapidly, laying down intense intercepting fire.

Blood Breath Birds were blasted out of the sky one after another.

But more broke through the barrage, slamming squarely into rocket launchers, self-propelled artillery, and other weapon systems.

KABOOM!

Rocket launchers and self-propelled cannons were damaged one after another.

At the same time, the flesh from the exploding Blood Breath Birds splattered onto the soldiers operating the weapons.

"Aaargh!"

The soldiers screamed in agony, as if they had been doused in sulfuric acid, and collapsed to the ground.

Immediately after, massive Elite and Commander-grade Blood Breath Birds forced their way through the defenses and sprayed a red mist at the ammunition crates.

RUMBLE!

A colossal explosion erupted toward the heavens.

Fortunately, Qian Wu had prepared for this contingency, and all the ammunition crates had been separated by a safe distance.

Thus, a tragic chain reaction was avoided. Even so, the losses were severe, and the artillery positions’ saturation bombardment came to an abrupt halt.

Qian Wu’s expression flickered, and he immediately issued an order.

"Order the first reserve unit to reinforce the artillery positions! Clear out those Blood Breath Beasts, quickly!"

"Yes, sir!"

Qian Wei immediately relayed the command.

With the artillery positions compromised, the tide of Blood Breath Beasts immediately swarmed forward with renewed vigor.

"What’s going on? Why did the artillery support stop?"

a number of soldiers shouted anxiously as they continued to fire.

Just then, Qiansha and the other commanders roared.

"Hold the line! Don’t lose your nerve!"

"Sir!"

The soldiers steadied themselves.
