Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 685 - 647 Attacking the Whole World

Chapter 685: Chapter 647: Attacking the Whole World! Chapter 685: Chapter 647: Attacking the Whole World! “Demons! Flying Demons!”

“Quick, report to…”

Discovering a large swarm of flying demons over the land, the captain of the reconnaissance ship immediately started shouting and ran towards the cabin, clearly intending to report back the intelligence here. At the same time, the reconnaissance ship quickly ascended and began to return at top speed.

However, it was all in vain.

Groups of flying demons had already reached the sky at that time and almost in the blink of an eye, they overwhelmed the poor reconnaissance ship.

Hundreds, perhaps thousands of demons swarming around the reconnaissance ship were like a whirlwind, and by the time these demons flew off into the distance, the reconnaissance ship had vanished without a trace. Only on closer inspection would one notice some wreckage falling from the sky, among which were a few bodies.

Having easily destroyed a reconnaissance ship, the swarms of demons flew off toward the distance like locusts. Looking in the direction they were flying, one could soon see a Sky City through the clouds, then two, then three, four, five… Thirteen Sky Cities quickly appeared in the sky.

Clearly, these Sky Cities were the flying demons’ target!

This time, over a thousand flying demons appeared, and such a large group could not be ignored. Thus, they were quickly spotted by other reconnaissance ships and immediately reported back to Rick, who, upon receiving the news, arrived at the Skyport at once.

“Send the orders down, have the specially formed First and Second Fleets attack.”

Having looked at the swarm of demons through his telescope, Rick issued the command.

“Sir, is there really a need to deploy the specially formed troops?”

The so-called specially formed troops were composed of the newly assembled force with warships from the Magic Energy Research Institute and armors from two major Armor companies. Naturally, this force’s combat strength was extremely significant, as the troops were equipped with the most advanced warships and armors of the day. Hence, the adjutant thought it was somewhat overkill to deploy this force against a thousand or so flying demons.

“No matter, let’s see the real combat capability of this new equipment. Follow my orders,” said Rick.

But Rick obviously had his own ideas. In his view, although the new equipment was very powerful, that power was merely based on data on paper. He had not yet seen the real combat capability of the new warships and armors, so this was a good opportunity for an inspection.

Consequently, after that, the two specially formed fleets immediately took off from the Skyport and then flew out from Heavenly Ancestor City.

Climbing up to the watchtower at the Skyport, Rick, holding his telescope, watched carefully and soon saw the fleet engaging the flying demons in battle.

“Indeed not bad…”

“Very good.”

“Very impressive.”

Observing through the telescope, Rick kept nodding, obviously very satisfied with the performance of the specially formed troops. Indeed, they proved their worth. When the specially formed troops engaged the flying demons, in just a short ten or so minutes, the thousands of flying demons were slaughtered to near extinction, fully demonstrating that the new equipment was genuinely strong and not just hyped.

“Order the troops to return to base.”

Having personally witnessed the last demon being slain by a Void Magic Warrior, Rick turned to his aide and said they could order the special task force to return to base.

But just as he finished speaking and was about to put down his binoculars, the unforeseen happened—more flying demons appeared!

In an instant, a large swarm of flying demons burst out from the clouds, their numbers far surpassing the thousands. At a rough glance, it was apparent there were several thousand. Under these circumstances, the two special task force fleets, which were just about to return to base, could not react in time and were once again engaged in combat with the demons.

However, as the process unfolded, more and more flying demons appeared, swarming from all directions. Mere minutes passed, and the demon numbers skyrocketed from a few thousand to tens of thousands, then to several tens of thousands!

Tens of thousands of flying demons filled the skies, surrounding each and every Sky City. It felt as if the cities were enveloped by dark clouds, and what was even more terrifying was that the number of demons was still increasing exponentially. The few tens of thousands were clearly not their upper limit; many more demons were taking to the skies from the land!

“Quick! Notify all City Lords to immediately deploy the Defensive Net, reposition the Sky Cities, and consolidate all the Sky Cities together. Let the Fleet defend within the Defensive Net!”

“Hurry and order the special task force fleets to return to base—do not engage the enemy!”

From the first batch of demons being annihilated to tens of thousands occupying the sky, this process took only a few minutes, so swift that everyone was caught off guard. Ultimately, it was Rick who first came to his senses.

It was then Rick’s abilities shone through; faced with this sudden calamity, his reaction was faster than anyone’s, and he was extremely alert and composed. He immediately issued the most correct commands.

With so many demons suddenly surrounding the Sky Cities, it was absolutely imperative to prevent them from entering the cities, or else the Sky Cities were doomed. Hence, Rick had all the Sky Cities activate their Defensive Nets, blocking all the demons outside.

At the same time, he consolidated all the Sky Cities together, readying them for a united battle.

Finally, he didn’t rashly send the troops into combat. Against such a multitude of demons, it would be certain death for the warships to venture out; thus, the best strategy was to hide behind the Defensive Net and fire at them from safety. This way, as long as the demons couldn’t break through the Defensive Net, they couldn’t harm the Fleet.

In the end, he ordered the two special task force fleets outside to return to base immediately. They were already meaningless to leave outside in the face of so many demons, and minimizing losses was the best course of action.

However, good as Rick’s intentions might have been, let’s not forget the sheer number of demons outdoors! The cities with their Defensive Nets deployed might withstand the tens of thousands of flying demons for a while, but out there, the two fleets became easy prey. Countless demons had already pounced on the two fleets.

In such a situation, within a matter of minutes, the two fleets had lost contact with Sky City…

“Damn it! How could this happen?!”

After losing contact with the special task force fleets, Rick knew the two fleets had been annihilated by the demons, which naturally caused him immense grief. After all, these were two newly equipped task forces established using brand new gear! They were the main forces to contend with Rocky, and now they were wiped out by the demons.

Frustrated by this outcome, Rick couldn’t help but curse. Why was he so unlucky? Just as they were about to reach Backhill Village, why were they ambushed by demons?

What Rick didn’t know was that he was not unlucky at all because at the very moment he was attacked by demons, similar situations were happening all around the world. Dozens, even hundreds of Sky Cities were attacked by flying demons in various locations, including Backhill Village!

So, it wasn’t just Rick being attacked by demons; it was the whole world!
