Game: Civilization Paradise

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Final Offensive

Soon, only City Lord Qian Luo and Qian Ying remained in the conference room.

Qian Ying looked at City Lord Qian Luo with some hesitation and spoke.

"Father, isn’t this too risky? We could lose all of our elite forces."

"Do you have a better idea?"

City Lord Qian Luo asked, looking up at Qian Ying.

"No."

Qian Ying shook his head in reply.

"Since you don’t, then rather than wait here to die, we should seize this one-in-a-thousand chance and take the gamble. Even if we lose, we will not die cowering in a corner!"

City Lord Qian Luo said to Qian Ying, his expression resolute.

"I understand."

Qian Ying nodded.

...

「At the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion.」

Long Ming and the others walked out of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Just then, Qiansha gave Long Ming a thumbs-up.

Long Ming was taken aback when he saw it.

However, Qiansha didn’t say much. He turned and spoke to Captain Alang beside him.

"Alang, go and immediately commandeer all civilian and military aircraft in Mountain City Mountain. Get as many as you can!"

"Yes, sir!"

Captain Alang replied immediately.

Then, Qiansha turned his head to look at Qian Luobing and the others and said,

"Everyone, back to the defense line for a strategy meeting!"

"Yes, sir!"

Long Ming and the others responded at once.

...

「A short while later.」

Long Ming and his group arrived at the B0 defense line.

After getting out of the vehicle, Qiansha gestured with his hand and led everyone into a tent on the defense line.

They soon entered the green tent.

Qiansha turned on the projector, displaying a map, and then said to Long Ming,

"Mark the target location."

"Alright!"

Long Ming stepped forward and pointed to the mountain range behind the Royal City.

Qiansha made a mark, his brow furrowed as he spoke.

"I’ve already sent Alang to assemble all the aircraft, but it’s unclear exactly how many we can gather. Overall, the number probably won’t be high, so our forces will be extremely limited!"

"Understood!"

Luoxue and the others nodded in response.

"There’s a problem now. We’ve lost air superiority. How are we going to get there?"

Qiansha said, highlighting the difficult issue.

"I think we can take a roundabout route."

Long Ming said after thinking for a few seconds.

"A roundabout route?"

Qiansha and the others were taken aback.

"That’s right. These Blood Breath Beasts aren’t mindless; they’re clearly being controlled by someone. If I’m not mistaken, most of the flying-type Blood Breath Beasts should be gathered near the monster tide. As long as we travel along the coast from the east, there’s a high probability we can bypass them."

Long Ming stated his hypothesis.

After all, they didn’t know if this world was round or how big it was, so they didn’t dare risk taking a path from the rear.

"Your method is good, but taking a detour will consume a massive amount of fuel. In that case, this really will be a one-way trip."

Qian Hai said after a few seconds of thought.

"Does it make a difference? We never planned on coming back from this trip alive anyway!"

Qian Luobing cut in coldly.

"Qian Luobing is right. Don’t even think about the return trip. If this mission fails, we won’t be coming back anyway. It makes no difference where we die!"

Qiansha replied in agreement.

"Fine, let’s take the detour."

Qian Hai didn’t object further.

"Then when are we setting off?"

Luoxue asked, looking at Qiansha.

"We have no time to waste. Those damned Blood Breath Beasts could return to attack Mountain City Mountain at any moment. So, the departure time is set for three in the morning tomorrow. Everyone go back and get ready!"

Qiansha said to everyone.

"Yes, sir!"

Qian Hai and the others all stood up and left.

Long Ming followed Luoxue out of the tent.

Just then, Jing Chuan excitedly nudged Long Ming with his elbow and said,

"Long Ming, you’ve really got guts. I can’t believe you dared to talk back to the City Lord and even managed to get his battle plan rejected. That was seriously awesome."

"Come on, I really had no other choice. And to be honest, I’m not confident about this plan myself."

Long Ming’s head was starting to ache a little.

"Long Ming, remember my words. Don’t carry too much of a psychological burden. Having hope is always better than having none. Even if this mission fails and we all die out there, it won’t be your fault. You just gave us another path. We were already standing on the edge of a cliff with nowhere else to go."

Luoxue said to Long Ming calmly.

"I understand."

Long Ming nodded.

He understood Luoxue’s words perfectly. She was trying to brace him, so he would feel a little better if they failed.

"Luoxue’s right. Everyone has their own fate; it’s up to heaven. It has nothing to do with you."

Jing Chuan and the others chimed in, feigning a relaxed tone.

"Alright, the mission hasn’t even started. Don’t go spouting all this unlucky talk."

Looking at them, Long Ming couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile.

"Alright!"

Jing Chuan and the others replied with a laugh.

...

「In a bedroom of the Mountain City Mountain’s City Lord’s Mansion.」

City Lord Qian Luo sat at his desk, a virtual screen projected before him, displaying the list of all participants in the "Skyfall" plan.

He scrolled through the list, his gaze landing on Long Ming’s name.

Lost in thought, Qian Luo reached out and opened Long Ming’s personnel file.

As he looked at all the background information and service records displayed, a look of surprise appeared on his aged face.

Just then, Qian Ying walked in. Seeing that Qian Luo hadn’t rested yet, he walked to his side and spoke respectfully.

"Father, you still haven’t rested."

"I can’t sleep."

"At this rate, your body won’t be able to take it."

"It’s fine. If this mission fails, then even if my body recovers, it’ll be meaningless. Have they set a departure time?"

"They have. Three in the morning tomorrow."

"Before they leave, call Qiansha and the others over. I want to say goodbye. After they go, we may never see each other again."

City Lord Qian Luo said in a hoarse voice.

"Of course."

Qian Ying replied with a heavy heart.

...

「Twelve o’clock, midnight.」

「The bedroom in the City Lord’s Mansion.」

Qiansha, Qian Hai, Qian Wei, Qian Luobing, and Qian Luoxue, all clad in armor, walked in.

"Grandfather!"

They all called out.

"Children, you’ve all come."

City Lord Qian Luo looked at them with a benevolent smile.

"Yes. Grandfather, do you have any orders for us?"

Qiansha asked respectfully.

"I have no orders. I just wanted to look at you all one more time. You are all my good grandsons and granddaughters! You have not disappointed me. I am proud of you!"

City Lord Qian Luo looked at Qiansha and the others, full of reluctance to part.

"Grandfather, don’t worry. We will not fail to live up to your expectations."

Qiansha and the others all spoke up.

"I believe in you. I hope you can all come back alive."

Supported by Qian Ying, City Lord Qian Luo shakily walked forward. He reached out a withered hand and patted the shoulders of Qiansha and the others.

"Yes."

They all nodded heavily.

Just then, Qian Ying lifted his wristband to check the time and said quietly to City Lord Qian Luo,

"It’s almost time."

City Lord Qian Luo’s eyes grew slightly moist as he spoke.

"Go. I wish you a safe journey!"

"Yes, sir!"

Qiansha and the others all saluted Qian Luo and turned to leave.

Just then, City Lord Qian Luo spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Luoxue, you stay behind."

"Yes, sir!"

Luoxue was slightly taken aback, but she stopped in her tracks.

Qiansha and the others didn’t pause, leaving directly.
