Lord of the Sky City

Hearing Rocky's words, Baron Wolin's face turned from red to green, becoming extremely ugly!

Even a fool could sense the implicit meaning in Rocky's words. Obviously, Rocky had already known about the family's decision and had prepared for it!

Damn it!

Who the hell was feeding information to Rocky!

Thinking that someone must have been giving Rocky information, Baron Wolin felt an itch in his teeth with anger. In his view, taking over Thunderhawk City was supposed to be a matter that could be resolved without any battle, but now, Rocky was prepared, and what should have been a peaceful resolution now required action.

However, because he figured this out, Baron Wolin's mindset had become better than before. Initially, he had always hoped to drive Rocky out of Thunderhawk City without resorting to violence.

He'd sent people to notify him and even met him in person before the battle, but now, he would rely on the simplest and most brutal means, which he was best at, to drive Rocky away, and this made Baron Wolin much more relaxed.

So, moments later, Baron Wolin smirked viciously at Rocky and began to speak:

"Rocky, since you're seeking death..."

He had only just started speaking when suddenly, a barrage of fierce artillery fire interrupted him!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The artillery fire, roaring as if in anger, erupted without any warning, not only cutting off Baron Wolin's words but also startling him greatly!

His first reaction was that Rocky's fleet was firing at him, but when he looked behind Rocky, he saw that Rocky's fleet, especially the flagship he was wary of, hadn't fired.

Was it his own side that fired?

Thinking this, Baron Wolin turned his head to look back, only to find that his own fleet hadn't fired either. This was odd...

But Baron Wolin didn't remain puzzled for long, because just as he turned his head back, he spotted the source of the gunfire.

Moments after the gunfire erupted, another fleet burst out from the thick clouds on the left side of Baron Wolin's fleet!

This fleet was considerably large, not only sporting fifteen Airship Model 6 Reconnaissance Ships but also a Scavenger Type 1 Escort Ship, and it began bombarding Baron Wolin's fleet fiercely as soon as it appeared!

The sudden appearance of this fleet shocked Baron Wolin, but anyone who understood Rocky's real strength could see that this fleet was made up of other warships from Thunderhawk City!

It was only then that the true purpose of Rocky positioning Thunderhawk City in such a cloudy area became clear. He intended to use the thick clouds in this area to launch an ambush and stealth attack!

Since the reconnaissance ships had discovered Matu City earlier, Rocky had plenty of time to prepare. Therefore, before the envoy arrived, he had ordered Felly to lead an escort ship and fifteen Airship Model 6 Reconnaissance Ships away from Thunderhawk City and hide them in the thick clouds surrounding it.

It was precisely because the main force was lying in ambush that Rocky and Baron Wolin only brought the Thunderhawk and a few old reconnaissance ships when they met. Additionally, Rocky's goal during this meeting was not truly to persuade the Baron or deliver threats but to capture Wolin's attention!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The end result was a complete success: Baron Wolin and his fleet were caught utterly off guard!

The warships bursting from the clouds unleashed their furious volleys at this moment, each blast resembling a roar toward the sky, not only deafening but also sending chills down the spine.

It's well-known that in any air battle, the side that fires first usually gains some advantage, and that's exactly what happened here. The main force, led by the escort ships, suddenly emerged from the flank, not only catching Baron Wolin's fleet unprepared but also sinking three reconnaissance ships after the first round of fire!

One escort ship along with fifteen reconnaissance ships opened fire simultaneously, delivering a ferocious barrage. Under such fierce firepower, the outermost two reconnaissance ships in Baron Wolin's fleet took several hits, and their defensive net failed quickly, getting sunk within moments.

Another reconnaissance ship was even less fortunate, as it was hit directly by the main cannon of the escort ship and disintegrated in mid-air before anyone could blink!

The main cannon of the Scavenger Type 1 Escort Ship had only two barrels, but its mana energy power reached 1300 points. After Orton's rune enhancement, the mana energy power of these two main cannons soared to an impressive 1700 points!

In Baron Wolin's fleet, the reconnaissance ships were all of the Cheetah Type 2, which performed fairly well in both offense and defense. However, they stood no chance against a main cannon attack with 1700 mana energy power, as their defensive net was as fragile as paper mache, instantly shattered and causing the reconnaissance ships themselves to explode upon impact.

So when Baron Wolin turned his head, he just happened to witness the three reconnaissance ships exploding one after another, and he also saw the fleet led by the escort ship, like a wild beast, charging out of the clouds, attacking from the side of his own fleet.

This revelation made him realize he had walked into an ambush! He had been sneak attacked!

However, Baron Wolin was a battle-hardened veteran. Upon realizing he had fallen into an ambush, he promptly turned to leave without hesitation.

He knew very well that the situation was extremely unfavorable for his fleet. Rocky had split his forces into two, with the Thunderhawk at the forefront drawing attention, while the other, led by the escort ship, emerged suddenly from the flank; this pincer movement by the two fleets encircled Baron Wolin's ships.

In such circumstances, Wolin had no time to ponder why Rocky had such a massive fleet. He knew that if he did not react immediately, his fleet would certainly suffer heavy damage, and as the fleet's commander, he had to return immediately.

Unfortunately, his thoughts were not mistaken, but how could Rocky and Liliya let it go so easily?

As Baron Wolin decisively turned to leave, Rocky and Liliya suddenly launched their attack, clad in Void Magic Armor. They streaked through the sky, resembling two arrows shot from a bow, one from the left and one from the right, charging towards Baron Wolin!

Rocky was well aware of what the enemy intended to do, and naturally, he could not let Baron Wolin return so easily. Not only that, he had an even bolder idea!

When Wolin first saw Rocky in Void Magic Armor, he had contemplated decapitating him as soon as the battle began, but he had to abandon this thought and retreat to his fleet because he realized they were ambushed. However, what he did not know was that, as soon as he appeared before Rocky, Rocky had the same idea!

Together with Liliya, he also aimed to execute Baron Wolin on the spot!

So, moments later, Rocky and Liliya caught up with Baron Wolin. From the left and right, both brandished their swords, one targeting the Baron's neck and the other striking at his waist, with such ferocity that it was unimaginable and clearly showing no intent to spare Baron Wolin's life!
