LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 434: Chapter 399: Marching Towards the Hong Beast!

With a single slash, the mana emanating from the top of the Scythe turned into a huge crescent as it was swung, crossing a distance of more than ten meters and landing directly on the last captain!

The last captain was thus cleaved in two!

His death also signaled that all three captains had fallen in battle!

From the moment Rocky engaged with the three captains to their total extermination, it took merely a few exchanges. If one were to time it, it might have lasted less than two minutes before the victor was decided, but those two minutes were filled with spectacular combat!

Judging by the outcome, the three captains were successively killed, seemingly as if Rocky had crushed his opponents, but only Rocky himself knew the truth was not so simple. To swiftly decide the battle and kill the three captains, he had even activated the new “White Demon” burst state, which instantly determined the victor; thus, the victory was far from as straightforward as it appeared.

Following the death of the last captain, Rocky, barely having time to catch his breath, quickly ceased the operation of some runes on his Armor and deactivated the “White Demon” burst mode. Although powerful, the burst mode was too brief and, if not carefully managed, could lead to Rocky’s own demise.

…

After this, he urgently looked around, for while he was fiercely battling with the three members of the Void Magic Squad, their fleets had already been engaged in combat.

When Rocky looked around, he found that although there were many warships surrounding him, upon closer inspection, they were all from the Alliance Army; the enemy’s warships were now few and far between, signifying that as he claimed victory, the battle among the fleets was also nearing its end.

Indeed, that was the case. While Rocky was entangled with the opposing Void Magic Squad, the Alliance Army was likewise expanding their triumph in a sweeping fashion.

It had already been said that since the Alliance Army was equipped with warships uniquely developed and manufactured by the Sky Alliance, their combat power was generally superior to contemporary warships. With the advantage in quality and also leading in quantity, the battle was one-sided right from the start.

When Rocky personally joined the battle, he handed over the command of the entire force to Claudy, one of the generals sent by Wilton. Aged over fifty and with more than thirty years of military service, Claudy excelled in commanding large-scale battles. The larger the number of troops involved, the more adept he was. He was recognized as one of the famed generals within the Sky Alliance.

It was because of this ability that standards like managing over 300 warships seemed too few for Claudy. Under his command, the Fleet seemed to possess a spirit of its own, forming small groups interspersed all over the battlefield, continuously maneuvering and supporting each other, reducing the already scattered enemy to shreds, disintegrating them in a short period and establishing an early victory.

Therefore, by the time Rocky finished his battle, the aerial combat was essentially over as well, except for a small number of enemies who broke through and escaped at the start; the large majority of the enemy forces had been annihilated!

“Lord Claudy, how is the situation?”

Although he saw that the battle was essentially over, Rocky, after returning to War Steed, immediately asked since he was unaware of the specific details.

“My lord, it’s basically over. Only a few scattered enemy warships are fleeing; the main force has been destroyed,”

“What about our losses?”

“Rest assured, my lord, they are not significant.”

Standing before Rocky, Claudy seemed very gentlemanly, his face adorned with only a perfunctory smile, showing no joy from the recent battle victory; such a level of combat seemed too trivial to him; the total forces involved didn’t even exceed five hundred warships, and the Void Magic Squad was less than ten squads, hardly a major battle, and nothing to be pleased about in winning.

But Rocky didn’t think that way; upon knowing that victory was almost assured and their losses were not severe, he finally felt a long sigh of relief inside because that meant Hongshou City couldn’t escape now!

The real target of Rocky’s attack had always been one thing from the beginning to end, to eliminate Hongshou City, or to say, his sole purpose coming to the Tulip Battle Zone was to eradicate the enemy’s small Sky City—it had always been like this.

Rocky already knew from the starting point of all his plans—the moment when Wilton had told him—that a large army was stationed inside Hongshou City, which is why he specifically lured Andy out; otherwise, if Andy stayed hidden in the city with more than a hundred warships, then even if Rocky’s forces initiated a total assault on Hongshou City, the outcome would’ve been different.

With a Defensive Net as the barrier and over a hundred warships for defense, the defensive capabilities of Hongshou City were not to be underestimated at all; it would take potentially days of continuous fighting to bring down Hongshou City, a scenario Rocky absolutely did not wish to see. He needed a quick, decisive battle.

Otherwise, if the battle dragged on too long, the reinforcements from the Rebel Army would have arrived, and that would pose a real problem for Rocky.

Fortunately, Andy was overly confident; his ego boost at a critical moment perfectly played into Rocky’s plans. Although Andy had fled shortly after the battle started, according to Claudy, his escape was not a concern—Hongshou City’s fleet and Void Magic Squad were annihilated in the recent battle. Hence, even if Andy returned to Hongshou City, all he would have was an empty fortress.

An empty fortress—even shielded by a Defensive Net, how could it possibly withstand an onslaught from Rocky’s large forces?

So, following that, Rocky immediately issued the command:

“Reorganize the troops immediately and advance towards Hongshou City!”

“Yes!”

With that, Claudy immediately went to convey his order, and as the command was relayed to all the warships, the Alliance Army swiftly reorganized their formation, then majestically advanced towards Hongshou City not far away.

“So fast…”

As the fleet began to close in on Hongshou City, Rocky couldn’t help but inwardly marvel at the high quality of the Alliance Army.

The previous battle needs no mention, but merely in the matter of minutes it took, following his command to regroup, for the Alliance Army’s fleet to reset its previously scattered formation to its original state—this alone was testament to the high quality of this troop, probably the only sort of quality that could hold off the Rebel Army’s advances despite being at a complete disadvantage.

This made Rocky think of the fleet of Thunderhawk City; clearly, in this aspect, Thunderhawk City’s fleet was no match for the Alliance Army. It seems that after the battle, he would need to seriously learn from Claudy and other Alliance officers.

With that thought, he looked towards the distance, then noticed that Hongshou City was already before him!
