LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 438: Chapter 403: City Annihilation…!

Under the oppressive crackdown, many residents of Hongshou City were reluctant, but they found it difficult to resist. Soon, a significant stream of people appeared on the streets, marching toward the Skyport under the watchful eyes of the Void Magic Warriors.

Resistance was not strong, so when Felly’s team reached the Skyport of Hongshou City, they easily took control and discovered a large amount of goods inside the Skyport.

These goods were war supplies from Chenxiu City, all packed up and ready to be shipped to the frontline.

Consequently, before the residents even reached the Skyport, Felly hurriedly loaded these goods onto the warships in batches.

On the other hand, as the city districts fell under control, a mass of residents began heading to the Skyport in large numbers. Rocky dispatched many warships to go along with them, partly responsible for transporting the goods and partly for taking the residents to Thunderhawk City.

At the same time, the City Lord’s Mansion was also overtaken, and City Lord Andy was captured without incident. Immediately after securing the mansion, the troops turned back and headed straight for the treasury of Hongshou City.

…

In a short time, several squads, operating separately, began plundering the entire city relentlessly.

As time ticked by, the night fell quickly, but the darkness did not impede the actions of Rocky and his people; instead, it made them work even harder, as they knew they did not have the luxury of time.

Although Rocky had conquered Hongshou City, it also meant that he had thoroughly angered the Rebel Army, undoubtedly hastening the arrival of the reinforcements.

In such a situation, Rocky simply didn’t have enough time to remove everything from Hongshou City; all he could do was pick out the important and valuable items to plunder, and he only had one night for this task.

One night.

Three hundred warships.

Take as much as possible, for by the next day, even if there were things left in Hongshou City, Rocky wouldn’t be able to take them; he would have to leave.

It was precisely because he knew time was of the essence that Rocky did not waste any time from the start; one could describe his actions as non-stop.

Fortunately, he had brought enough warships this time. Over three hundred warships turned into cargo ships for the night, with each one making at least two trips between Hongshou City and Thunderhawk City. Despite this, when the sun slowly rose in the east the next day, there were still a great number of residents in the city, and even more goods that had not been transported away.

There was no helping it; after all, warships were warships. Though they could carry goods and people on their decks and in their hulls, their capacity was ultimately limited. So in one night, they probably transported less than half of the residents and only a third of the goods.

“Order all warships to ascend.”

As the sun gradually rose, Rocky, who had been standing at the bow of the War Steed all night, gave the command for all warships in the Skyport to stop loading and take off immediately!

After his order was conveyed, he looked down at the Skyport below.

Following Rocky’s gaze, one could see the Skyport was filled to capacity. A large number of goods that had not been loaded in time were scattered on both sides of the port, and at the center of the Skyport, a large group of residents had gathered, who hadn’t managed to board the ships in time.

A few of these residents truly wished to be taken away by Rocky and his men, as the vast majority had been born and raised in Hongshou City and nobody wanted to leave the land that had nurtured them.

But as Rocky watched these people, his heart was filled with a different flavor.

“After I die, I’ll definitely go to Hell and join the Demons…”

Turning to glance at Liliya, Rocky’s face revealed a complexity never seen before, but that expression flashed by in an instant and was concealed or perhaps suppressed. Then he said to Claudy next to him, “Send the order down, destroy the city’s Super Crystal.”

“Yes, sir!”

Looking at Rocky, Claudy nodded and then passed the command on.

Following that order, the War Steed, where Rocky was stationed, began to ascend, leading the vast majority of the troops away from the Skyport of Hongshou City. At the same time, a small squadron made up of ten warships flew toward the center of the city, where the Super Crystal was located.

As the residents who were gathered at the port watched Rocky lead the Fleet away, they were at first stunned, then suddenly burst into cheers!

But just then, at the very moment the cheers of these residents erupted, a loud boom overshadowed all the cheers, followed by a series of loud explosions within the city!

The warships headed to the city center to bomb had already opened fire, and the Super Crystal they targeted was quickly blasted into pieces. The explosion of the crystal, and the Mana it contained, immediately caused a chain of explosions, destroying half the district in an instant.

But this was just the beginning…

The Super Crystal was the heart of Sky City; the entire city’s ability to fly was solely dependent on the Mana the crystal provided. With the Super Crystal destroyed, the entire Sky City would lose all power.

In other words, with Rocky’s order to destroy Hongshou City’s Super Crystal, there was only one outcome left for this Sky City—annihilation.

This had always been part of the plan. To Rocky, whether it was Hongshou City or any other Sky City he conquered, he would ultimately demolish it completely. If after taking over the city he only took the people and things and left, the Rebel Army would suffer no real loss, as they could simply reintegrate Hongshou City back into the fight. So Rocky had to destroy the city, even if there were still many things he hadn’t taken with him, even if there were still thousands of people inside, he had to do it.

This is war.

Cruel and merciless.

At this moment, as Rocky, who had already led the Fleet far away, looked back at Hongshou City, he could no longer see the cheering residents in the Skyport. The Skyport itself had vanished from sight; all he could see was a huge pillar of fire rising into the sky from the grand city.

The explosion of the Super Crystal was inherently destructive, and following its complete destruction, the floating Hongshou City began to tilt slowly. The entire city seemed to lose its support and gradually toppled to one side while continuing to fall.

Initially, the city’s descent was slow, but as the seconds ticked by and the angle of the city’s tilt increased, the fall’s speed also accelerated exponentially. In the blink of an eye, the massive Sky City spiraled uncontrollably toward the land and then there was a tremendous crash!

Standing at the bow of the ship, Rocky clearly saw the entire land shake for a moment as Hongshou City crashed into the ground. Right after, the ground turned to smoke and fire, enveloped by an immense cloud of dust.

Hongshou City was obliterated!
