Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 661 - 623 Winning Back a Round

Chapter 661: Chapter 623: Winning Back a Round Chapter 661: Chapter 623: Winning Back a Round Over seventy warships lined up in front of City of Fury, a formation small enough to be deemed futile against a large Sky City capable of housing a hundred thousand people. To the immense Sky City, the array of over seventy warships appeared pitifully small.

However, precisely because of the immense disparity between the two, Rocky’s fleet looked all the more formidable. Especially since the troops of City of Fury dared not confront them face to face, it further highlighted the imposing presence of Rocky’s side.

The seventy-plus warships fired simultaneously, aiming all their main guns at City of Fury. Beam after beam slammed into the Defensive Net, and as expected, they were all blocked by the net. But when the Defensive Net intercepted all the attacks, the light it emitted became much brighter than before, causing a stir of fear among the people behind it.

The brightness of the Defensive Net typically corresponded directly to the strength of the attack: the stronger the attack, the brighter the light. Conversely, very weak attacks on the Defensive Net might not even provoke a response. In theory, an attack launched by over seventy warships—even if all the attacks came from the main guns, even if all the main guns fired simultaneously, and even if all the shells hit the same point—should not cause such a reaction from the Defensive Net of a large Sky City.

But now, the brightness of the Defensive Net after the attack clearly exceeded the normal standards, especially when the main gun from Rocky’s War Steed hit the net, the impact point not only shone more brightly but even produced a visible ripple!

What did this mean?

It meant the main gun of the War Steed had the power to shake the Defensive Net of City of Fury!

“How is this possible…”

“How powerful is this main gun…”

“It’s terrifying…”

This scene had Erwin and others extremely anxious. Although they were quite certain that City of Fury’s Defensive Net could not possibly be pierced by the War Steed’s main gun—in this world, no weapon other than the City-Destroyer Cannon could break through the Defensive Net of a Sky City—still, watching the War Steed fire shot after shot, Erwin and the others were nonetheless deeply alarmed. Just how formidable was Rocky’s fleet?

How advanced was the technological power he wielded?

“My Lord, what… what should we do?”

While Erwin was silently terror-stricken, someone suddenly spoke up beside him.

Turning toward the voice, Erwin saw it was the Commander of their fleet.

Su De, the Commander of City of Fury’s Third Fleet. He was now the highest-ranking Commander, as both Kexif, the Commander of the First Fleet, and Tawa, the Commander of the Second Fleet, had fallen in battle. Their fleets had been wiped out successively, making Su De, the man standing beside Erwin and the Commander of the Third Fleet, the most senior Commander in City of Fury at that moment.

Hearing Su De’s reminder, Erwin turned his head to look outside, at the enemy bombarding City of Fury.

Rocky had been bombarding them for half an hour by then, and he seemed to have no intention of leaving; Erwin guessed that if he did not send out his troops, Rocky might bombard them all night. Therefore, after sighing, Erwin finally issued the order, “Lead the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Fleets to strike… Just drive the enemy away, and do not pursue too deepy.”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing Erwin’s command, Su De secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Erwin had given him three fleets and only asked him to drive away the enemy. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know what to do.

With this command, Su De departed, and anyone paying close attention would notice that this time, unlike before, he didn’t charge ahead in his flagship. After two Fleet Commanders had already died in succession, Su De, even if he were a fool, wouldn’t charge out ahead anymore. He had no doubt that Rocky’s fleet, or even Rocky himself, might personally see to his demise.

When he led the three fleets, with over six hundred warships, out of the Defensive Net of City of Fury, Rocky ceased his bombardment and began to slowly retreat from the battlefield, clearly not wanting to engage directly with so many fleets.

This outcome was naturally to Su De’s liking. Although his fleet kept firing under his command, appearing mighty in force, in reality, the more than six hundred warships had no intention of pursuit. They were basically firing from their original positions, almost as though they were seeing Rocky off. And even then, five or six warships were sunk, because as Rocky’s forces retreated, they fired while withdrawing. With over seventy warships shooting, even blind firing could hit a few enemy vessels.

Thus, City of Fury finally managed to gain some ground in their protracted battle with Rocky, and they won! With no less than three fully organized fleets, over six hundred warships, they had repelled Rocky’s fleet of over seventy vessels, achieving a resounding victory!

The victorious Rocky, leading his troops back to Thunderhawk City, ordered all fleets to immediately repair and replenish Mana immediately after. The battle was not over; the real fight would commence from tomorrow.

Based on Rocky’s judgment, after today’s direct and shocking confrontations, Erwin must have been stunned. Rocky anticipated no significant moves from him tonight. However, being the City Lord of a large Sky City, Erwin couldn’t be underestimated. He might well recover by tomorrow and realize that he should use his numerical advantage against Rocky. That’s when the real battle would begin.

In light of this, Rocky made all the necessary arrangements and then went directly to Howling Sky. He couldn’t wait any longer; he had to get Howling Sky’s support immediately!

“Brother Howling Sky, you must agree to my request, no matter what. Name your price for the warships; I won’t bargain…”

Upon meeting him on Howling Sky’s warship, Rocky got straight to the point as he truly needed Howling Sky’s support.

But before he could finish his sentence, Howling Sky laughingly waved a hand and said, “Brother Rocky, what are you talking about? If you’re in trouble, would your elder brother abandon you?”

“Rest assured, I’ve already given the order. One hundred warships are ready and will be arriving tonight. Moreover, don’t mention any price now; we can talk about that later. I believe you won’t forget.”

As he spoke, Howling Sky patted Rocky on the shoulder, his face no longer showing the usual difficulties but instead exuded enormous enthusiasm, clearly having made up his mind.
