Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Skyfall
"And this young man is?"
City Lord Qian Luo looked at Long Ming and asked, a hint of confusion in his voice.
Just then, Qian Ying respectfully reported to City Lord Qian Luo.
"His name is Long Ming. He’s from the Third Legion’s Fifth Battle Group and a top expert under Luoxue’s command. He was the one who killed the Lord Level Blood Breath Beast that broke into the lower district of Mountain City Mountain."
"Oh. Tell me, why do you object?"
City Lord Qian Luo said amiably.
"Your plan cannot succeed. The Blood Breath Beasts won’t make the same mistake twice. Our forces won’t be able to break through their encirclement; we’ll just be surrounded and slaughtered. Even if we did manage to break through, we can’t defeat the monster inside the royal city. Remember, Lord Qian Yun and his one hundred thousand elite troops couldn’t defeat it!"
Long Ming explained rationally.
After hearing Long Ming’s words, the expressions of the others grew even grimmer. But they had to admit, he was right.
"Sigh. Do you think I don’t know that? But we have no other choice right now. Unless... you have a better idea?"
City Lord Qian Luo looked at Long Ming and said with a sigh.
For a moment, everyone stared intently at Long Ming.
At this, Long Ming spoke with a very firm expression.
"City Lord, I have a plan that might offer us a sliver of hope!"
Everyone present was surprised to hear Long Ming’s words.
City Lord Qian Luo’s clouded eyes twitched slightly, and he then spoke.
"Tell us your plan."
"Yes. I have a top-secret file here, obtained from a laboratory of the Aniska Empire. Through their research, the Aniska Empire discovered that Blood Breath Beasts are extremely afraid of the cold. Extreme cold weather reduces their biological activity, and ordinary Blood Breath Beasts can even be frozen to death! To eliminate the Blood Breath Beasts, they implemented the SSS-Class ’Absolute Freeze’ plan. They built a special climate device behind the royal city, but unfortunately, the Aniska Empire was destroyed before it could be completed and activated. If we can repair and activate this climate device now, we’ll have a chance to defeat the Blood Breath Beasts."
Long Ming said to City Lord Qian Luo and the others.
"What are the chances of success?"
Hearing this, City Lord Qian Luo looked at Long Ming and asked.
"One in a thousand."
Long Ming said in a low voice.
The moment he said this, the hall erupted in an uproar.
"You’re kidding, right? Just one in a thousand?"
"Then what’s the fucking point!"
"How is that any different from suicide?"
...
At this moment, Qian Wei also stood up and directly objected.
"I have an objection. In my opinion, this plan is completely unfeasible. First of all, we have no idea how close to completion the device is. What if it’s not finished? Even if it’s just shy of being done, it’s useless. We don’t have the relevant schematics, so we wouldn’t know how to repair it. Besides, if this device was so useful, why was the Aniska Empire destroyed?"
Long Ming didn’t refute Qian Wei after hearing him out, because what he said wasn’t entirely without reason.
Just then, Luoxue also stood up. She took out a data file from her bracelet and said.
"City Lord, I don’t think Long Ming’s plan is completely hopeless. I have a file here on a climate control device from the Srika World. Their functions are very similar, so it might be possible to use it to repair that device."
Long Ming looked at Luoxue with some surprise. He hadn’t expected her to back him so strongly.
City Lord Qian Luo was silent for a moment, then said.
"Notify Dr. Xu Rui to come here."
"Yes!"
Qian Ying replied respectfully, then took out her phone and sent a message.
Everyone waited in silence.
The Abyss Lord and Elder Fakam watched quietly. After all, they didn’t have any better ideas either.
Soon, an old man with graying hair, age spots on his face, and wearing a white lab coat rushed over with a group of researchers.
"City Lord Qian Luo, you were looking for us?"
Xu Rui asked.
"Yes. Long Ming, Luoxue, give them the data and brief them on the situation."
City Lord Qian Luo said with a slight nod.
"Yes!"
Long Ming and Luoxue walked over to Dr. Xu Rui and his team, handed them the files, and briefly explained the situation.
After taking the files, Dr. Xu Rui and his team immediately began to study them.
More than half an hour later, Xu Rui wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead. Under immense psychological pressure, he spoke to City Lord Qian Luo and the others.
"Theoretically, this plan of the Aniska Empire’s is sound. The technical data provided by Luoxue is highly similar to the device built by the Aniska Empire. With this information, we can attempt to repair and activate it. But this is all on the condition that the device is nearly complete. Otherwise, we won’t have enough time to repair it."
"So you’re saying there’s a small chance of success."
City Lord Qian Luo said hoarsely.
"Correct."
Xu Rui nodded.
At that, Qian Wu asked with a furrowed brow.
"The problem is, how do we get there? The tide of Blood Breath Beasts has retreated, but they still have us surrounded."
"We fly in and airdrop."
Long Ming replied grimly.
Hearing this, everyone’s expression changed slightly. Flying in for an airdrop was burning the boats behind them.
Regardless of success or failure, death was the most likely outcome.
Hearing this, City Lord Qian Luo’s clouded eyes twitched slightly. He spoke in a low voice.
"Do you all think this plan is feasible?"
BANG!
Just then, Qiansha slammed his palm on the conference table, then stood up and said.
"Fuck it! I’d rather take a gamble than sit here waiting to die!"
"I agree!"
Qian Luobing said in a cold voice.
"If there’s a chance, no matter how small, it’s worth a shot. I agree too!"
Qian Hai also voiced his opinion.
"Agreed!"
Qian Wei, Qian Lan, and the others all echoed their agreement.
"Very well. Since you all agree, then that’s what we’ll do! Abyss Lord, Elder Fakam, don’t say that we at Mountain City Mountain are being selfish and not consulting you. I’m asking you right now: are you in or out?"
City Lord Qian Luo turned to look at them, his expression imperious as he asked.
"Out. Are you kidding me? This course of action is pure suicide. To sacrifice all of our elites for such a faint, illusory hope is the height of foolishness."
Fakam replied directly with a cold sneer.
City Lord Qian Luo turned his head to look at the Abyss Lord and asked.
"And you?"
The Abyss Lord’s brow furrowed tightly. He spoke in a low voice.
"Allow me to discuss this matter with my subordinates."
"Hmph. If you want to go die, then go. We have no desire to join you in your madness."
After speaking, Fakam cut the remote communication link.
The Abyss Lord was silent for several seconds before finally cutting his communication link as well.
Only the people from Mountain City Mountain were left in the conference room.
However, Qiansha, Qian Luobing, and the others didn’t seem to care in the slightest that the other two cities were unwilling to join them. They hadn’t been counting on them anyway.
City Lord Qian Luo’s clouded eyes swept over everyone present as he spoke.
"Since Sinful City and Star Tower will not join us, then this plan will be carried out by us, Mountain City Mountain, alone. I now formally announce that the ultimate battle plan, ’Operation Heavenly Descent,’ is officially underway!"
"Yes, sir!"
Qiansha and the others replied grimly.
"Hear my command! Qiansha is appointed Commander-in-Chief of this operation. Qian Luobing is appointed Deputy Commander. All existing resources of Mountain City Mountain are to be supplied to them unconditionally!"
"Yes, sir!"
Qiansha and Qian Luobing replied in unison.
"Go and prepare!"
City Lord Qian Luo waved his hand at the crowd.
Long Ming and the others turned and left.
