Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 715 - 678 The Third Party Appears
Chapter 715: Chapter 678: The Third Party Appears Chapter 715: Chapter 678: The Third Party Appears “Continue the bombardment and deploy the Void Magic Corps!”
After having the entire fleet take off, Rocky ordered the warships in the sky to continue the ground bombardment, while also deploying the previously escorting Void Magic Corps to join the fight.
Of course, he didn’t send the Void Magic Corps directly to combat the Blood Image Demons, as that would be too dangerous. Apart from Rocky himself, only Liliya and Monte among the Void Magic Corps of Thunderhawk City could possibly handle high-level demons. As for the others, they lacked the ability, so Rocky’s deployment of the Void Magic Corps was mainly to protect the warships.
The stone attacks thrown by the Blood Image Demons were indeed powerful, but after all, a stone is just a stone. It’s frightening when used for a sneak attack, but if taken seriously, it’s easy to defend against. Besides, although there are quite a few Bloody Demons in the Stone Forest, there are only about a dozen of them; even if they threw stones continuously, they wouldn’t be able to throw many.
Under Rocky’s strategy, the fleet quickly resumed bombing. During the bombing process, although the Blood Image Demons continuously threw stones into the sky, with the Void Magic Corps present, ten squads of Void Magic Warriors formed a defensive net, knocking every stone aimed at the fleet out of the sky. Even if a few stones got through, because the fleet had risen higher, it was difficult for the stones to hit the warships.
This significantly reduced the threat of the Blood Image Demons, or rather, eliminated the threat altogether.
However, even though the fleet was out of reach of the Blood Image Demons attacks after ascending higher, this greatly reduced the accuracy of the bombardment. Moreover, since the bodies of the Blood Image Demons were made of stone and mud, even if directly hit by a Magic Energy Cannon and shattered, they would regenerate in not much time unless their Demon Cores were completely shattered. Therefore, it was virtually impossible to eliminate these demons in the short term.
In this situation, the only thing Rocky could do was to slowly attrite these Blood Image Demons through cannon fire.
These high-level demons absolutely must not be left unchecked, as they would pose a significant threat once Thunderhawk City landed here. Yet, it was also impossible to confront these high-level demons directly, as even sacrificing ten squads might not be enough to kill them. Thus, Rocky’s only choice was to wear them down slowly, using the superior firepower and aerial advantage of the Rune Battleships.
Although this method was slower and even a bit boring, Rocky could fully accept it, because he had plenty of time before Thunderhawk City arrived to clear out these demons.
Thus, time slowly moved from noon to afternoon, and from the afternoon to evening. During this process, Rocky continued to direct the fleet to bombard the Stone Forest, effectively turning the entire area into a giant crater, and as time passed, the number of Blood Image Demons steadily decreased, with more than half already bombed to death.
What pleased Rocky even more was that as the noise from the bombardment grew louder, it began to attract other demons from the surroundings. This was excellent for him, as his original task was to cleanse West Lake Shore of demons. Now that these demons were being drawn in, it saved him time.
Under these circumstances, despite the continuous bombardment lasting an entire day, the quantity of demons in the Stone Forest had not decreased at all. In fact, as more and more demons were drawn in, their numbers were actually increasing.
As time passed and night fell, Rocky ordered the fleet to continue the bombardment, then he returned to the War Steed.
“Give me the map.”

Upon returning to the War Steed, Rocky took the map from Uncle Wil and, after looking at it for a while, he contacted Felly.
“Felly, reassign a portion of the warships to directly bomb the positions at three, six, nine, eleven, twelve, and fourteen o’clock and draw all the demons there to the Stone Forest.”
While looking at the map in his hand, Rocky spoke to Felly on the other end of the communicator.
At this moment, deep within the Hunter, Felly also held a map identical to Rocky’s, listening to Rocky’s orders and examining the map, quickly grasping his intention.
The points mentioned by Rocky were all demon gathering locations marked on the map by numbers due to their abundance, and these sites were precisely near Stone Forest. These points almost circled around Stone Forest, clearly revealing Rocky’s intention, he hoped to use the warship’s bombardment to attract the demons from these gathering points to Stone Forest, thus saving them the trouble of having to clear them out one by one later on.
Upon understanding this, Felly immediately issued orders, quickly reallocating twelve warships from the fleet. Two warships per group headed to the six gathering points mentioned by Rocky to lure the demons there.
Late at night, the originally calm earth was ablaze with fire, and the thunderous sound of cannons rhythmically shattered the night sky. When the twelve warships broke away from the main force, they dispersed in six different directions, soon followed by the sound of new cannon fire.
Standing at the bow of War Steed, Rocky used his binoculars to look into the distance, seeing the warships in the midst of bombardment and the fires they caused. He could even imagine how the demons must have gone mad by now, and in this frenzy, they would surely follow the closest noise and hence inevitably head towards Stone Forest, where he could then catch them all in one fell swoop.
Thinking this, Rocky slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
However, at that moment, while observing his surroundings with his binoculars, he suddenly saw a figure in the sky above a small grove in the distance…
“This…”
Seeing the figure above the grove, Rocky was momentarily startled and quickly looked more closely, only to find that it was a Void Magic Warrior!
How could this be possible?
Discovering that the figure above the forest was a Void Magic Warrior, Rocky was astonished and his eyes widened, then he looked again carefully.
Although they were still quite far apart, when he looked again carefully, he noticed that he had not been mistaken, the person really was wearing Void Magic Armor hovering above the grove, and definitely was not one of his own warriors.
What was happening, could there be other Sky Cities around?
Seeing an unknown Void Magic Warrior appearing near his fleet, Rocky immediately furrowed his brows, then with a leap, he flew out of the War Steed.
“Liliya, Sandro, Dusa, follow me! Monte, command the Void Magic Corps to be on alert!”
Having said this, Rocky, without another word, took Liliya and the others and flew toward the nearby grove immediately.
