Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Won

Command Zone.

Lin Qi anxiously reported to Qian Wu.

"Lord Qian Wu, the situation is dire. The monster tide’s assault is growing fiercer, and the defense line is about to break. We already have monsters leaking through in some areas. A few Blood Breath Beasts have broken into the lower city district."

"I know. Have everyone hold their positions. They need to hang on for a while longer!"

Qian Wu’s expression shifted multiple times before he finally spoke.

"But..."

"No buts!"

"Yes, sir!"

Lin Qi could only nod in acknowledgment.

Sector C11 trenches.

A battle-scarred Blood Breath Dog broke through the heavy curtain of fire and charged straight for Long Ming.

Seeing the charging Blood Breath Dog, Long Ming was just about to turn his gun.

BANG! BANG!

A series of gunshots rang out, and the Blood Breath Dog dropped to the ground.

Long Ming froze for a second.

Just then, Xiaoqi, holding a rifle, jumped into the trench. She ran to Long Ming’s side and said, her voice trembling slightly.

"Long Ming, I’m here to help!"

"Are you crazy? You’re logistics! Get back behind the lines!"

Long Ming immediately snapped at Xiaoqi.

"If the defense line collapses, we’re all dead anyway. It doesn’t matter if we’re logistics or not anymore. That’s why we all came to help."

Xiaoqi said, mustering her courage.

Hearing Xiaoqi’s words, Long Ming turned his head and looked around. He saw Cloud Fish, Johnny, and the other members of the Rat Group had all taken up arms and jumped into the trenches to join the fight.

"I get it. Then let’s fight together until the end."

Long Ming replied, taking a deep breath.

"Okay. I’ll do my best not to drag you down."

Xiaoqi nodded in response.

With the logistics personnel joining the fray, their firepower increased slightly. Even so, the effect was limited and did little to change the overall battle.

The Blood Breath Beasts continued their crazed advance.

Panting for breath, Luoxue swung her blade, cutting down one Blood Breath Beast after another as they broke through.

"This is bad, we can’t hold them back like this!"

Fu Fuqing said to Luoxue, his face ashen.

"Even if we can’t, we have to! We cannot retreat a single step. If the defense line falls, the hundreds of millions of people in the lower city district are all finished!"

Luoxue didn’t dare to imagine the consequences of the line collapsing.

"Understood."

Fu Fuqing replied, gritting his teeth.

At that moment, a massive number of Blood Breath Beasts broke through the tank division and swarmed toward the defense line.

"Look out! A huge wave of Blood Breath Beasts is breaking through!"

Jiang Heng shouted to Luoxue in terror.

Luoxue raised her head to look at the horde of oncoming Blood Breath Beasts. Taking a deep breath, she lifted her blade and yelled.

"No one retreat! Fight to the death!"

"Yes, ma’am!"

Fu Fuqing and the others roared in response.

But just as Luoxue and her team were preparing to make their last stand, a dense volley of fire suddenly erupted from behind them.

The charging Blood Breath Beasts were immediately hit head-on with a devastating barrage.

Luoxue and the others froze, whipping their heads around to look back.

They saw a massive crowd of freelancers, armed with weapons, charging forward from the rear.

"We’re here to help!"

The freelancers poured into the trenches, joining the battle.

Long Ming watched the freelancers around him and let out a sigh of relief before refocusing completely on the fight.

In the command zone.

Lin Qi excitedly said to Qian Wu,

"Lord Qian Wu, the situation has stabilized for now! A large number of freelancers have joined the battle!"

"Excellent. In a time of life and death, we must stand united!"

Qian Wu replied in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the monster tide.

....

-----------------------------------

「Aniska Empire • Inner City of the Royal Capital Ruins.」

When the violent explosion subsided,

Makari had completely lost all signs of life. Its dark red blood stained the entire ground.

"We won!"

Seeing this, the soldiers roared with excitement.

Qian Xing also let out a long sigh of relief, a slight smile appearing on his face.

"A monarch-level Blood Breath Beast... we actually killed it."

"We won!"

Qian Yun exclaimed excitedly.

"It’s too early to celebrate. It seems there are still some surviving monsters inside the Aniska royal palace."

"We just slaughtered a monarch-level beast. What threat could some leftover small fries possibly pose?"

"That may be so, but we still can’t let our guard down!"

Qian Xing cautiously reminded Qian Yun.

"I know, I know. All units, advance!"

Qian Yun raised his hand and waved, leading the main force in a mighty charge toward the royal palace.

At that moment, the remaining elite-level and commander-level Blood Breath Beasts pounced on Qian Yun and his men, attempting to block their path.

"You’re courting death!"

Qian Yun led the charge, swinging his hammer ferociously at an approaching commander-level Blood Breath Dog.

CRACK~

The Blood Breath Dog’s head exploded on impact, its body sent flying.

BANG! BANG!

Luo Lie and his men opened fire fiercely.

Although this group of Blood Breath Beasts was elite, they were instantly riddled with holes under the overwhelming suppressive fire.

Qian Yun and Qiansha had brought a total of one hundred thousand troops.

While they had lost many soldiers fighting Makari, they still had over seventy thousand elite troops, giving them a significant numerical advantage.

This was one of the reasons for Qian Yun’s confidence.

Soon, Qian Yun and his men had slaughtered their way through the blocking Blood Breath Beasts and arrived outside the magnificent royal palace. But before they could charge in,

RUMBLE!

Entire sections of the royal palace collapsed, and then the main gate was smashed down.

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Qian Yun and Qiansha raised their hands, signaling for everyone to halt.

At that moment, a giant red flesh tumor, with a massive red hand growing from its base, crawled out like a baby.

"Hilic, calm down! Don’t go over there!"

The monarch-level Blood Breath Beast, Xi’om, was holding Hilic back while simultaneously supplying it with nutrients!

Unfortunately, Hilic paid no attention to Xi’om.

"What kind of monster is this flesh tumor? And why is there another monarch-level one?"

Qian Yun and the others were aghast.

Just then, Qian Xing’s expression changed as he noticed tentacles extending from the monarch-level Blood Breath Beast, Xi’om, continuously feeding nutrients to the red flesh tumor. He spoke immediately.

"Qian Yun, this is bad! That monarch-level Blood Breath Beast is nurturing an even stronger monster!"

Hearing Qian Xing’s words, Qian Yun’s gaze fell on the gestating Hilic. He instinctively sensed the danger and decisively gave the order.

"Order all heavy weapons to unload everything they have! Take them down!"

"Yes, sir!"

Luo Lie immediately relayed the order to his subordinates.

The numerous tanks, rocket launchers, and other weapons all concentrated their fire, launching a fierce assault on Hilic.

BANG! BANG!~

Countless artillery shells and rockets screamed through the air toward Hilic.

At that moment, the gestating Hilic pulsed like a heart. The red, tumorous sphere erupted with a brilliant crimson light, instantly deploying a red, bloody membrane to protect itself and Xi’om.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE~

Innumerable explosions swept over the area.

The red, bloody membrane instantly shattered.

"Kill!"

Qian Yun and Qian Xing led their subordinates in a decisive charge toward the gestating Hilic.

Their objective was clear: kill the monster before it could fully form. They couldn’t even imagine how powerful a creature nurtured by a monarch-level Blood Breath Beast would be once it "hatched."

Just then, Hilic’s tumorous body extended numerous tentacles, piercing all the Blood Breath Beast corpses in the vicinity, instantly absorbing and breaking them down.

The entire fleshy sphere pulsed like a heart as arcs of red lightning danced across its surface. A crack opened in its center, revealing a giant red eyeball that began to accumulate a terrifying Power.

"Look out! Scatter!"

Qian Xing was horrified and immediately shouted.
