Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 148 On the Verge

The axe fell, and with it tumbled the head!

Baron Wolin's envoy didn't even have a chance to utter his name before Rocky killed him!

After executing the envoy, Rocky immediately ordered the soldiers he'd brought to disembark, and these soldiers, already terrified by the sight of the falling head, feared they might share the same fate of being dismembered, so they obediently left the ship without any resistance.

However, Rocky didn't kill these soldiers afterward. He just confiscated their reconnaissance ship and then put them on an old-fashioned skyship from Thunderhawk City, sending them back with the middle-aged man's head.

By doing this, Rocky intended to send Baron Wolin a message, a message that didn't require any words yet was enough to convey his resolve!

"When do we set out?"

After Baron Wolin's soldiers departed on the old-fashioned reconnaissance ship, Liliya approached Rocky.

"No rush, let's wait for Baron Wolin's fleet to get a bit closer," he replied, glancing at Liliya, and they then boarded the Thunderhawk.

It didn't take long for the soldiers fleeing Thunderhawk City to return to Baron Wolin's fleet, and seeing the skyship return so quickly, and not the same one at that, Baron Wolin, standing on the bow of his flagship, furrowed his brows.

But as soon as he saw the returned head, he was instantly consumed with rage, thunderous and furious! He had never imagined Rocky would be so audacious as to kill his own people!

"Bastard!"

With a curse, Baron Wolin violently slapped the soldier who presented the head, and then bellowed menacingly, "Order the entire fleet to attack, and bring that Rocky back to me! I will personally execute him!"

As his roar echoed, over thirty warships stirred into motion, forming a massive, cloudlike formation that bore down on Thunderhawk City!

Since Baron Wolin's fleet wasn't far from Thunderhawk City, it took only a few minutes for the city's residents to see a dark, dense fleet approaching. At the same time, Rocky's Thunderhawk took off slowly, leading the rest of the warships up into the sky.

An aeronautical battle was on the brink of erupting!

Upon leaving the skyport, Rocky didn't rashly depart from Thunderhawk City's defensive net; instead, he stationed the fleet within it, waiting for Baron Wolin's fleet to draw near.

After a short while, Baron Wolin's fleet approached, facing off against Rocky in the defensive net across the void!

"How does he have... a flagship!?"

As the two sides were now in close proximity, Baron Wolin could clearly see the fleet within the defensive net, and he was immediately shocked to see the Thunderhawk, resplendent in presence!

In his view, the Thunderhawk was strikingly prominent, its more than one hundred fifty meter-long hull resembling a steel monster, fiercely confronting his own Baron Number within the defensive net!

This scene completely exceeded Baron Wolin's expectations.

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect Rocky to actually commission a flagship of his own, how could this be?

However, as Baron Wolin observed the Thunderhawk's surroundings and noted that it was only modestly guarded by a few pitiful reconnaissance ships, his anxiety subsided, for a quick count revealed that there were even fewer than ten warships defending the flagship.

Less than ten warships to guard one's flagship?

Baron Wolin, who had participated in at least two space battles, suddenly found himself amused at how nervous he had been because of Thunderhawk. In his view, Rocky might have just stumbled into acquiring a flagship by some fluke, but he surely didn't know how to use it.

The number of warships he used to protect his flagship was too few, weren't less than ten warships to protect a flagship essentially making it a sitting duck?

While Baron Wolin was easing his worries, Rocky had already led his fleet out of the Defensive Net.

As Rocky led his fleet slowly closer, Baron Wolin demonstrated the demeanor of a great commander. Clad in Void Magic Armor, he leapt up and flew into the air, moving to the very forefront of his fleet alone.

Firstly, he did this to have a discussion with Rocky. As a man who also possessed a flagship, Baron Wolin clearly knew how powerful a flagship's firepower could be. With Rocky having a flagship of his own, warfare would inevitably lead to losses on both sides. It didn't matter to him if Rocky died, but he didn't want his own fleet to suffer any losses.

Secondly, he wanted to seize the opportunity to intimidate Rocky, to let him know that he was facing not only a massive fleet but also himself in his Void Magic Armor!

In any space battle, the combat power that the Void Magic Armor could unleash was enough to rival, or even surpass, warships. Take for instance the fourth-generation Armor Baron Wolin was wearing; its combat power in space battles was certainly no less than that of an Escort Ship, and with his personal strength, he could easily take down a Reconnaissance Ship!

Baron Wolin wanted Rocky to realize the strong opponent he was facing!

However, to his utter shock, Rocky, who he had imagined would timidly approach in a Reconnaissance Ship, trembling at the sight of him in Void Magic Armor, also flew to the forefront of the fleet relying on Void Magic Armor. Not only that, but he was also accompanied by another Void Magic Warrior!

What in the world was going on!

Watching as Rocky approached, flanked by Liliya, Baron Wolin felt utterly disconcerted. How did Rocky not only have a flagship but also Void Magic Armor, and two sets at that!

From the envoy's assassination to the appearance of the flagship and now the Void Magic Armor, everything had taken Baron Wolin completely by surprise, so much so that he suddenly felt a twinge of unease. He began to realize... Had he underestimated Rocky...?

Impossible!

After a brief moment of unease, Baron Wolin immediately adjusted his mindset. He looked coldly toward Rocky, noticing that although Rocky was wearing Void Magic Armor, it was the outdated Blood Pattern Mark II, and the woman beside him was only wearing a third-generation Armor. Baron Wolin's mood gradually stabilized.

Even if Rocky had a flagship, his own fleet was larger, and he would surely prevail in battle; even if Rocky and the woman beside him were both clad in Void Magic Armor, their Armors could not compare to his, and once the battle began, he could even potentially slay them outright!

With such a tremendous advantage, what was there to fear?!

With these thoughts, Baron Wolin slowly regained his confidence and then moved a certain distance closer towards Rocky just like him.

When the two parties were about a hundred meters apart, they stopped simultaneously.

"Baron Wolin, go back,"

Baron Wolin, who had just been about to spew a few harsh words, hadn't even opened his mouth when Rocky spoke up first, stunning him into silence.

How did he know his name?

Looking at Rocky with slight surprise, Baron Wolin was puzzled. He was certain that neither of them had known each other before this, so how did Rocky know him?

While he was still surprised, Rocky continued, "Baron Wolin, I know what you've come for, and I advise you to head back quickly."

"Otherwise, you might not be able to return at all...!"
