LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 435: Chapter 400: The Final Counterattack

Andy wasn’t much of a fighter, but he was fast at fleeing.

Once he had dispatched all the Void Magic Squads he had brought with him, he took a few warships and fled without looking back. He escaped early and quickly enough that when the Alliance Army completely shattered the enemy, he had already left the battlefield, and even the blocking forces led by Felly couldn’t stop him.

Upon returning to Hongshou City, he immediately activated the flight mode of Sky City, planning to escape.

But Andy was clearly confused, for if he truly could have escaped like this, shouldn’t he have run away much earlier? Why would the Rebel Army have him hold the position for five days waiting for reinforcements if it weren’t for the fact that escape was impossible!

Sky City, though capable of flight, had a known speed that, while enduring, could not possibly outpace a warship.

So, even though Hongshou City kept flying, when Rocky led a large army there, it didn’t take long for them to catch up and quickly arrive at the defensive net of Hongshou City.

…

The prior battle saw losses for the Alliance Army as well, but due to proficient command, and the intrinsic combat strength of the warships being strong enough, these losses were practically negligible; thus, when Rocky led his troops forward, over three hundred warships appeared before Hongshou City virtually at full combat capacity.

Afterward, Rocky did something similar to what Andy had done, which was to disperse the fleet of more than three hundred warships to form a fan shape, thus completely encircling Hongshou City!

Over three hundred warships encircling a small Sky City allowed the spread-out warships to completely form a ring around the entire city!

“Siege.”

As the fleet surrounded Hongshou City completely, Rocky, standing at the bow of the War Steed, spoke just two words, issuing the order to besiege the city!

A massive siege battle then began!

Upon receiving the order to besiege, the Alliance Army, which had already surrounded Hongshou City, opened fire together. Both the main and secondary guns aimed at Sky City started firing, instantly causing the defensive net to flare up with light ripples.

How similar was this scene to one not long ago?

Previously, when Andy led a large army to surround Thunderhawk City, it was also encircled like half a Sky City before the attack commenced. What Rocky was doing now was exactly like what Andy had done initially.

There was just one difference between the two situations: when Andy initially encircled Thunderhawk City, there were over three hundred warships inside, fully prepared; but now, when Rocky used the same formation and even stronger troops to surround Hongshou City, there wasn’t even a single troop that could be dispatched from inside…

So when the Alliance Army began their fierce attack on Sky City, there was no movement at all within Hongshou City, and not a single warship was deployed.

……

……

At this moment, Andy was slumped inside the City Lord’s Mansion, deafened by the thunderous cannon fire coming in through the window and reaching his ears, rendering him utterly stunned…

Andy had never imagined that this would be his fate.

Although he was just the City Lord of a small Sky City, he was a member of the Mairente Family, and securing a Sky City, even a small one, was enough to demonstrate Andy’s status within the family. Hence, he had never imagined someone would dare to launch a siege against him!

At this moment, Andy was not just panicked but had completely broken down because he was well aware that, after losing most of his major troops, he had no capacity to resist Rocky’s attack, not even to defend.

In Hongshou City now, there were fewer than ten warships that could be deployed, and there were just over one squad of Void Magic Warriors, but with no squad leader. How could such meager forces withstand Rocky’s vast army?

The only thing Andy could do was wait.

He sat alone in the City Lord’s Hall, staring blankly at the empty hall, not knowing what he was thinking, or perhaps he was thinking of nothing at all…

As time ticked by, the relentless sound of cannon fire continued outside.

There wasn’t much to say about this siege because it was entirely a one-sided attack. The disparity between the two sides was so vast that there wasn’t even a need for command, as Hongshou City could do nothing to resist the ongoing assault. All Rocky had to do was give the order to attack the city, and then he had nothing else to do, with no adjustments and commands necessary.

As a result, time quickly passed from noon to the afternoon, and after half a day of continuous attack, Hongshou City’s Defensive Net was clearly reaching its limit. The once thick, tangible net, thinned like a cicada’s wing after relentless bombardment, light from the Magic Energy Cannons grew increasingly weak, but the ripples it cast became more pronounced.

All signs were showing that Hongshou City’s Defensive Net was about to give in!

Surely by tomorrow nightfall, the Defensive Net would be completely breached, and once the defenses fell, it would mean the fall of Hongshou City!

At this time, Rocky became somewhat tense, since this was his first real siege. When he had confronted Baron Wolin before, he had attacked Matu City, but that was only a threat; later, during the battle with Wild Horse City, Thunderhawk City had been besieged, but Rocky was on the defense. So, this battle was his first real siege.

Thus, as the Defensive Net of Hongshou City gradually failed, Rocky also became increasingly tense, yet there was an undeniable excitement mixed with his anxiety.

However, just at this moment, just as Hongshou City was on the verge of being breached, Andy, who had been slumped in the City Lord’s Hall all day, seemed to remember something. He suddenly jumped from his seat, screaming and running out of the hall like a madman.

“Activate the City-Destroyer Cannon! Activate the City-Destroyer Cannon!”

“Hahaha! Use the City-Destroyer Cannon! Hahaha!”

Andy shouted and laughed hysterically while running out of the City Lord’s Hall, clamoring to fire the City-Destroyer Cannon!

Unfortunately, by then there was hardly anyone left in the City Lord’s Hall, as everyone from senior officials to servants had hidden in their homes, because each of them knew that Hongshou City was doomed.

In such a situation, Andy yelled for a long while but saw no one answer him, so he decided to run off on his own to activate the City-Destroyer Cannon!

Undoubtedly, Andy had completely lost his sanity. Judging from his actions at this moment, his mental state was definitely unstable.

The more deranged a person is, the more dangerous he is, especially now that Andy had clearly gone mad. He was actually planning to activate the City-Destroyer Cannon and self-destruct along with Rocky!
