Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Penetration

Unfortunately, without the support of the artillery positions, the monster tide advanced rapidly to the edge of the hastily dug moat.

They instantly triggered the pre-buried landmines.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Huge sections of the battlefield erupted, and fierce flames engulfed the monster tide.

"Beautiful!"

Jing Chuan shouted with excitement when he saw the landmines detonate.

"Don’t get ahead of yourself. That was the only wave of landmines. The monsters will be charging over soon, and the artillery positions probably won’t be back online that quickly!"

Long Ming reminded Jing Chuan, his heart heavy.

"It’s fine. We still have the moat. Those monsters won’t get across that fast. At most, only the Elite-level ones will make it over. We just need to concentrate our fire and take them down and..."

Before Jing Chuan could even finish his sentence...

...countless Blood Breath Beasts surged past the minefield and reached the moat.

The beasts leaped into the moat, using their own bodies to fill it to the brim.

The Blood Breath Beasts behind them charged forward, trampling over the bodies of their brethren.

"Holy shit, that works too?"

Jing Chuan’s heart went cold as he watched.

Long Ming’s heart sank to the pit of his stomach. It was obvious a high-level monster was commanding them.

Otherwise, these Blood Breath Beasts would never have overcome their basic survival instincts.

Just then, Qian Wei looked at Qian Wu anxiously.

"Father, the monsters are breaking through!"

"Order the tank divisions to advance! Intercept the monster tide with everything you’ve got!"

Qian Wu ordered, his expression grim.

’I didn’t expect the monster tide to break through so quickly,’ he thought. ’I was hoping we could at least hold out until tomorrow.’

"Yes, sir!"

Qian Wei immediately picked up the wireless communicator and relayed the order.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

Row after row of tanks and spider-tanks fired furiously at the oncoming monster tide, simultaneously accelerating to full speed to meet the charge.

The two forces slammed into each other.

Blood Breath Beast after Blood Breath Beast was ruthlessly crushed under their treads.

The monster tide’s breakthrough was halted.

Seeing the monster tide blocked, the Pilates Streamer breathed a long sigh of relief and reported to her audience.

"Don’t be afraid, everyone! The monster tide that broke through has been intercepted by Mountain City Mountain’s tank division! We just need to buy some time for the artillery to get back online, and everything will be fine!"

"That’s great!"

"That scared me to death."

"I thought we were all goners."

...

Comments flooded the screen.

Just then, a series of roars that shook the heavens echoed across the battlefield.

In the distance, massive silhouettes appeared.

The Pilates Streamer gasped, quickly panning her camera and zooming in to capture the images.

Lord Level Xue Li, Blood Corpse Beasts, Blood Breath Dogs, and more appeared on the battlefield.

"This is bad! The Lord Level monsters are joining the fight!"

Pura cried out in terror.

These Lord Level monsters charged with incredible speed toward the various defensive zones of Mountain City Mountain.

Watching the Lord Level monsters rapidly approach, Qian Wu picked up his wireless communicator and issued a grim command.

"Qiansha! Qian Luobing! Qian Hai! Intercept them! Do not allow them to break through our lines and wreak havoc!"

"Yes, sir!"

Qiansha and the others replied with grim determination.

They each handed command of their sectors over to their adjutants and charged straight for the Lord Level Blood Breath Beasts heading their way.

Zone C11.

"Damn, look at all those Lord Level monsters!"

Jing Chuan did a quick count. There were at least a dozen Lord Level monsters charging in, but about a third of them were headed for Zone B, which was defended by the First Legion.

Long Ming looked toward their own Zone C and immediately saw a ferocious, eight-meter-long Lord Level Blood Breath Beast—Kalu—rapidly approaching. It resembled a crawling lizard, its entire body covered in raised red bumps.

Just then, Qian Luobing charged forward with Bakaen and the others.

Soon, all the Lord Level monsters were intercepted, but General-level Blood Breath Beasts took the opportunity to break through the lines.

One of them, a General-level Blood Breath Dog, rushed toward Zone C11.

At that moment, Luoxue led Fu Fuqing and the others out of the trenches to engage the General-level Blood Breath Dog.

Seeing this, Long Ming gripped his machine gun, aimed, and laid down heavy fire on the General-level Blood Breath Dog, providing long-range fire support for Luoxue and her team.

Zone D6.

Commander Yu Lie of the Second Legion brandished a Gatling gun, mowing down the charging Blood Breath Beasts as he roared to his subordinates.

"Hold the line, brothers! Victory is ours!"

"Sir, yes, sir!"

The soldiers roared in response.

Because Zone D was on the left flank of Mountain City Mountain, the pressure they faced from the monster tide was comparatively lighter.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble slightly.

A lean, powerful man in an infantry-exoskeleton suit, distinguished by a scar on his jaw, sensed something was wrong. He immediately dropped to the ground, pressing his ear to the earth to listen, his expression growing grimmer by the second.

"Captain Sun Gu, what is it?"

one of his subordinates asked in surprise.

"Liu Ye, you’re in command here."

Sun Gu scrambled to his feet and immediately ran toward his commander, Yu Lie.

He reached Yu Lie’s side in moments, panting as he spoke.

"Commander!"

"Sun Gu, what is it?"

Yu Lie asked impatiently.

"Sir, something’s not right. I think something just passed underneath us,"

Sun Gu reported.

"Are you sure?"

Yu Lie was startled by Sun Gu’s words and pressed for confirmation.

"Positive!"

"Which way was it headed?"

"Toward the lower districts of Mountain City Mountain, I think."

Sun Gu said, pointing behind them.

Hearing this, the color drained from Yu Lie’s face.

"Shit. Report it, now!"

"Yes, sir!"

Sun Gu responded at once.

...

「Lower District, North Lake Street」

A dense crowd of refugees sat huddled on the street, their anxious eyes glued to a large outdoor screen broadcasting live footage of the battle. As they watched soldier after soldier fall, an expression of pure terror was etched on every face.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake.

"Is that an earthquake?"

a man asked, scrambling to his feet in a panic.

Hearing his cry, the others also sensed something was wrong and began to stand up.

Just then, the ground exploded upward and then collapsed inward.

Terrified screams filled the air.

A twenty-meter-long Lord Level Blood Breath Beast—Anlev—burst from the ground. It had a serpentine body covered in red, fleshy tumors, and a head like a catfish, its gaping maw lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth. As it emerged, it instantly devoured five refugees.

"A monster!"

...

The crowd scattered, screaming in terror.

Anlev slithered forward, its massive jaws wide open, devouring the fleeing people like a character in a twisted game of Snake.

Then, Anlev smashed violently into the side of an old apartment building.

With a deafening roar, the entire building collapsed.

"AHHH!"

"Help!"

"Mommy!"

...

Cries and screams echoed from all directions.

The garrison soldiers tasked with maintaining order rushed to the scene. They too were frozen with terror at the sight of the enormous Anlev.

Still, they summoned their courage, charged forward, and opened fire.

BANG! BANG!

Bullets ricocheted off Anlev’s body in showers of sparks.

It was useless.

Anlev contorted its body, lunged forward, and swallowed the squad captain in a single gulp.
