Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 861 - 843: The Arrival of the Doom Star!

Upon hearing that a Sky City had appeared, Cyril, who had been utterly hopeless, rekindled a glimmer of hope and quickly looked towards the east of Qingyuan City.

Sure enough, in her line of sight, a Sky City indeed appeared. Judging from its size, it seemed to be a medium-sized Sky City. However, when Cyril used her armor’s system to take a closer look, she froze completely...

"Clan Leader, is it reinforcements from the Allied Forces?"

"Clan Leader?"

While Cyril was stunned, Bernardo, who was fighting below, anxiously asked her. Since he was battling on the city walls, he couldn’t see the east side and could only inquire from Cyril.

Bernardo’s voice snapped Cyril back to reality. She then muttered in a somewhat dazed tone, "It’s not the Allied Forces... it’s Thunderhawk City..."

"What?" freeweɓnøvel.com

This response clearly left Bernardo stunned for a moment as well, since he, like Cyril, hadn’t anticipated Rocky’s appearance at this moment.

Rocky, for the entire Mairente Family, was nothing short of a nightmare. The family’s downfall could almost entirely be attributed to him. However, aside from a small portion of the family members who despised Rocky to the core, the majority harbored very complicated feelings towards him. They hated him, but feared him more. Especially after the recent rumors about Rocky spread throughout the family, their fear of him grew even more pronounced.

Rocky, a mere City Lord with only two Sky Cities and a single land base to his name, had managed to eradicate the leaders of two major corporations within the Three Great Alliances. Moreover, to send a warning, he even killed the Young Master of the Heavenly Ancestor Church. Such a ruthless figure was simply not someone the Mairente Family could afford to provoke. As such, the entire family now refrained from complaining about him and instead avoided mentioning him altogether.

In these circumstances, Rocky’s sudden appearance on the battlefield puzzled Bernardo greatly. His first thought was that Rocky might want to kick them when they were down. But this idea was quickly dismissed, as given Rocky’s current strength, he could annihilate the family in mere moments. After all, the miracle of him destroying six Sky Cities in the airspace of Eternal City was widely known. The few Sky Cities the Mairente Family had left wouldn’t even be enough to pose a challenge to him.

Could it be that he came to help?

At this thought, Bernardo seemed to understand something. To his knowledge, Cyril had a good relationship with Athena, Rocky’s chief strategist. Moreover, Rocky himself had decent ties with Cyril and even owed her a favor from years ago. Could it be due to this connection that he came to assist?

Because the relationship between Rocky and the Mairente Family was so immensely complex, even on the battlefield of this counterattack campaign, Rocky’s sudden appearance left Bernardo completely confused. If it had been anyone else showing up, he would have naturally assumed they were here to save them. But with Rocky, he wasn’t sure.

Compared to Bernardo’s uncertainty, Cyril was much more clear on the situation. Since she had been in regular contact with Athena and had done her best to help Athena gather battlefield intelligence, she quickly understood the reason for Rocky’s presence.

But looking at Thunderhawk City in the distance, Cyril’s feelings were indescribably complex—something that only she herself could comprehend.

Soon after, whether it was the family members fighting fiercely on the city walls, the crew aboard the fleet, or the Void Magic Warriors, they all noticed the presence of Thunderhawk City. Among them, many easily recognized the city.

Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Thunderhawk City’s fleet arrived!

As Thunderhawk City drew closer to the battlefield, the flying demons that had sealed off the skies immediately changed their trajectory, lunging fiercely toward Thunderhawk City. At the same time, Thunderhawk City’s fleet gradually departed from the defensive net.

Rune battleships appeared in the skies in perfect formation!

A hundred ships.

Two hundred ships.

Three hundred ships.

Four hundred ships.

Five hundred ships!

Five hundred warships formed a dense formation in the air after exiting the defensive net, and then they charged towards the flying demons, whose numbers vastly outnumbered their own.

"Don’t let them move forward!"

Standing atop the city wall and looking into the sky, Bernardo, upon realizing that Rocky had sent only five hundred warships, immediately contacted his fleet commander on their side, instructing them to contact Rocky’s fleet and advise them against such recklessness.

Although Bernardo had heard of the might of Rune battleships, five hundred ships seemed far too few. Even if they were the most advanced ships reputed in legend, they couldn’t possibly hold their ground against an enemy several times—no, tens of times—their numbers!

Upon receiving this order, the Mairente Family’s fleet commander immediately reached out to Felly, urging them not to engage the flying demons head-on. Regrettably, the response was a rejection...

After that, the people of the Mairente Family could only watch as Thunderhawk City’s fleet moved closer to the boundless swarms of flying demons. Meanwhile, large numbers of Void Magic Warriors equipped with Thunderhawk Armor began appearing on the battlefield too—forming a total of fifty squads.

Fifty squads of Void Magic Warriors may not seem significant in terms of quantity, but given that these warriors were all wearing Thunderhawk Armor specifically designed to combat flying demons, their combat strength was undoubtedly exceptional.

Indeed, that was the case. Facing thousands of flying demons rushing towards them, the Void Magic Corps led by Monte immediately established a defensive line in mid-air and launched a fierce counterattack against the demons.

At this moment, the Thunderhawk Armor had already upgraded from the first generation’s magic energy machine guns to the newly developed beam machine guns, considerably enhancing both range and firepower. The resulting firepower net was extraordinarily powerful, causing flying demons to fall from the sky like flies.

This scene left the Mairente Family’s Void Magic Corps utterly astonished. As the primary force fighting flying demons for the family, they were well aware of how formidable flying demons were and how challenging it was to kill even one. Thus, witnessing Rocky’s Void Magic Corps shooting down flying demons as if it were target practice shocked them immensely.

However, despite the formidable firepower of the Thunderhawk Armor, the sheer number of flying demons was overwhelming. It wasn’t long before the demons broke through the firepower net and engaged the armored units in close combat. Yet, even in this melee, the Thunderhawk Armor demonstrated its exceptional prowess. With external wing attachments, the armor was incredibly agile, often allowing a warrior to skillfully fend off attacks from multiple flying demons at once.

Nevertheless, as the Void Magic Corps’ formation was scattered, more and more flying demons began slipping through the gaps in the battlefield and heading directly for the fleet composed of Rune battleships!

"This is bad!"

Seeing the flying demons closing in on the fleet’s main formation, the Mairente Family’s fleet commander couldn’t help but sigh in despair. As someone who commanded the family fleet, he was acutely aware of the catastrophic consequences if the fleet were infiltrated by flying demons...
