Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 645 - 607 Annihilation

Chapter 645: Chapter 607: Annihilation! Chapter 645: Chapter 607: Annihilation! Years of research exploded at this moment!

After being modified with runes, Rocky’s fleet had become immeasurable by any current standards, because these standards were no longer valid in the face of rune technology.

Now, watching helplessly as the enemy remained unharmed after two rounds of cannon fire, Kexif was completely dumbfounded. The result totally subverted his common sense and nearly robbed him of the ability to think.

Similarly, after withstanding two rounds of cannon fire, the fleet led by Rocky finally closed in on the enemy!

In fact, as soon as the first round of cannon fire came, Rocky could have ordered a counterattack, as the range of the main guns on the War Steed and the dozens of modified escort ships was enough to strike the enemy. However, Rocky did not do so because he was afraid—afraid that once he launched an attack, the troops of the City of Fury would be so frightened that they would flee.

Therefore, he had not returned fire, withstanding the enemy’s attacks while continuously closing in, planning to launch his offensive when close enough that the enemy had no chance to escape. Now, that distance was sufficient.

Under these circumstances, he finally gave the order.

“Spread out the formation, fire at will.”

Standing at the bow of the War Steed, clad in White Demon Armor, he issued the command in a calm and composed manner, and the order was immediately transmitted throughout the entire fleet via the bridge.

“Fire!”

“Fire!”

“Fire!!”

At this command, the fleet that was originally concentrated began to spread out. At the same time, the main guns on the warships adjusted their barrels, ultimately locking onto Kexif’s fleet as the target.

Soon after, the sound of cannon fire, reminiscent of muffled thunder, resounded!

Because the number of warships was not very large, the sound of gunfire was not overly dense. However, the effect of the bombardment was staggering.

When Rocky ordered to fire, the main guns of the warships under his command did not discharge Mana Cannonballs, but rather issued one dazzling Magic Energy Beam after another, each as thick as a large tree. These brilliant beams wielded immense power because as they streaked across the sky, the air around them visibly distorted, clearly indicating that the Mana content within the beams was so high that even the surrounding air was affected.

This was the modified main gun!

To bring about a qualitative change in the warships’ striking power, Orton and others had inscribed a large number of runes on the Magic Cannons. These runes weren’t simply providing Mana. With the aid of Pelaya’s transmission technology, these Mana Runes not only supplied more sufficient Mana to the Magic Cannons but also significantly increased the firepower, especially of the primary cannons on the warships.

Orton and his team had completely revamped the fleet’s main guns. Using the new rune technology, they fundamentally altered the nature of the main guns, so that the modified ones no longer fired Mana Cannonballs, but rather discharged Magic Energy Beams of much greater power.

Of course, Kexif on the opposite side certainly wouldn’t know any of this. However, Kexif was indeed very experienced. When he saw the enemy begin their attack and that all the shots were extremely terrifying Magic Energy Beams, he immediately realized something was wrong and promptly issued the command, “Evade! Evade immediately!”

In the face of an attack of this level, Kexif realized that it could absolutely not be withstood head-on, so, before he could even ponder why Rocky’s fleet was so powerful, he hurriedly shouted at his executive officer.

Before he could finish his words, Kexif suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his eyes, prompting him to swiftly turn and look. What he saw was a Magic Energy Beam barreling straight towards his flagship!

In an instant, he noticed that everything around him slowed down, a sensation that baffled him, and when he turned to look around, he saw his executive officer crazily flinging himself towards him. In the following moment, he was tackled down to the deck by the executive officer, just in time to see the Magic Energy Beam strike the Defensive Net of the flagship.

Perhaps because time seemed to slow, Kexif was able to clearly see the moment the Defensive Net shattered—it was as if fragile glass had been harshly struck by an iron ball. The Defensive Net first showed a web of cracks, then broke into fragments, which then turned into mana and vanished from his sight.

Then, Kexif saw a flash of white.

With a thunderous roar, the flagship he was on was hit directly by a Magic Energy Beam. The beam pierced through the Defensive Net, striking the deck with force, and in the next moment, completely perforated it. In less than a second, the First Fleet’s flagship of the City of Fury, a Fifth-Generation Battleship, disintegrated…

Meanwhile, at the same moment Kexif’s flagship was sinking, dozens of other warships in the fleet were hit. All, without exception, exploded and fell apart upon impact!

This entire scene happened too quickly, so fast that everyone was unable to react. Thus, when the round of cannon fire ceased, the forces of the City of Fury barely moved.

It wasn’t their fault, for who could have imagined that the warships under Rocky’s command were so formidable? That they could sink so many warships with a single round of cannon fire? Even Kexif’s own flagship was destroyed!

Keep in mind that the main force of Rocky’s fleet was made up of Escort Ships!

Escort Ships, the weakest and least powerful type of large warship, how could they possess such devastating firepower that a flagship battleship was sunk with just one shot!

It was precisely because the flagship was destroyed, added to the astonishing sight before them, that the remaining fleet of the City of Fury plunged into panic at that moment. No one knew what to do next, and all the Captains were at a loss about what commands to issue. They were all stunned.

Rocky, naturally, would not give the enemy a chance to recover. He immediately gave the order, directing the fleet to accelerate towards the enemy and open fire for a second round.

Under this command, led by War Steed, the fleet immediately moved forward at full speed. At the same time, the cannons on each warship—both main and secondary—were all aimed at the forces of the City of Fury.

After several rounds of cannon fire, the distance between the two sides had now become very close. Not only were they within the range of each other’s main cannons, but the secondary cannons could also fire.

Consequently, a firefight broke out that left everyone staggered. Rocky’s fleet consisted of just over eighty warships, while the City of Fury had nearly twice that number. Yet, even with such a disparity in numbers, the battlefield was completely lopsided.

It wasn’t in favor of the City of Fury, but rather Rocky’s side!

When both sides began their close-range firefight, the City of Fury’s fleet found the gap between them and the enemy to be unimaginably vast. Their own shells had no effect on the enemy’s Defensive Net. If the main cannons were so ineffective, the secondary ones were even more so. The enemy seemed as if they had mastered both the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt, impervious to attack; on the other hand, they could not block the enemy’s shots at all. If the enemy’s main cannons hit, they would surely sink one of their warships, and even if the secondary cannons hit the Defensive Net, it would be shattered after just a few shots.

In such an uneven firefight, the City of Fury’s warships were being sunk one after another, with their numbers steadily decreasing. After about fifteen minutes, their numbers had dwindled to nearly the size of Rocky’s forces. Another fifteen minutes passed, and the fleet of the City of Fury had noticeably fewer ships than Rocky’s side and then… total annihilation!
