Lord of the Sky City

Baron Wolin had not anticipated that his battle with Rocky would ultimately take this turn.

In his expectations, he should have dispatched Rocky in no time at all, then returned to command the fleet and secure victory in the decisive battle for Thunderhawk City's control!

Unfortunately, though this thought was beautiful, reality veered sharply in the opposite direction.

The fleet he relied on gained no advantage in the battle, leaving the aerial combat unresolved to this day, and he hadn't dispatched Rocky as quickly as he'd planned—instead, Rocky's persistent engagement was keeping him from returning to command the fleet.

Such a turn of events was far beyond Baron Wolin's expectations.

"Damn it!"

Liliya, relying on the advantage of her Armor, persistently consumed one Reconnaissance Ship after another, a movement that naturally did not escape Baron Wolin's notice. As a Void Magic Warrior himself, he knew better than anyone the sheer destructive power an unrestrained Void Magic Warrior could wield in aerial combat, and he knew she must be controlled.

This situation made him anxious to return to the flagship Baron Number, and as long as he could get back, Liliya would surely not dare continue her rampage.

But how could Rocky possibly let him have his way? Baron Wolin had failed to return to his command previously, and this time it was even less likely that Rocky would let him go!

So when Baron Wolin attempted to disengage, Rocky charged at full speed directly towards him!

"Get out of my way!"

Facing the sword strike from behind by Rocky, an infuriated sweep from Baron Wolin sent him flying, but the flung Rocky took advantage of the momentum to fire a series of Magic Bullets in retreat.

The Magic Bullets he fired couldn't injure Baron Wolin in terms of power, but they effectively prevented him from breaking away, because even Baron Wolin couldn't ignore the relentless assault from Rocky at his back.

Indeed, from the start of the battle, Rocky had consistently used this method to tie down Baron Wolin.

Rocky wasn't Liliya; since the first time he donned the Void Magic Armor half a year ago, he had always relied on the Armor in combat and had thus become extremely skilled in its use. Perhaps his techniques and experience still couldn't compare to Baron Wolin's, but managing to entangle the Baron was certainly within his capabilities.

Especially after the mission in Backhill Village, the essence of restraint had become second nature to Rocky, as he had managed to hold back not just one Demon but dozens at a time, all on his own, earning him substantial experience in this aspect.

Although Baron Wolin was strong, compared to the Demons in terms of ferocity and madness, he fell somewhat short, making restraining him not that difficult for Rocky.

Of course, 'not that difficult' is a relative term, and in truth, Rocky was constantly in grave danger while entangled with Baron Wolin, a fact revealed by the long sword scar on his chest.

On Rocky's breastplate, there was a huge sword scar, stretching from the left shoulder to the right waist, nearly cleaving the Blood Pattern Mark II's chestplate in two!

This fierce and terrifying sword scar was the handiwork of Baron Wolin!

"Son of a bitch! This damned guy!"

Seeing Rocky clinging to him as stubbornly as ever, like a cockroach that just won't die, Baron Wolin couldn't help but curse out loud and was forced once again into combat with him.

But the result of this dogfight was no different from before. Rocky could be described as hit-and-run, provoking Baron Wolin before immediately beginning to flee, and his escape techniques were quite skilled. Darting and dodging in the air like an eel, he made it utterly impossible for Baron Wolin to catch him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Just like now, Baron Wolin, relying on the speed advantage of his armor, had finally caught up to him. Just as he was about to land a sword strike, Rocky suddenly changed direction, switching from moving forward to descending, sinking several meters in the air in an instant. Then, after a few harassing shots from his Magic Bullets, he immediately turned tail and fled.

This was the combat style of the Void Magic Armor. Unlike traditional fighting methods, combat in the Void Magic Armor was not flat but three-dimensional, especially in the air, where there is space in every direction.

And faced with Rocky's escape, Baron Wolin naturally wouldn't let him have his way. He quickly changed direction in an even more adept and skilled manner, chasing after him once again.

Your adventure continues at empire

In this way, both sides engaged in a deadly chase in the sky, and before long, time had passed...

When Baron Wolin found himself unwittingly held up by Rocky, the most intense clash of the aerial battle finally began—the flagship of each party, Thunderhawk and Baron Number, finally encountered each other!

These two massive flagships were the strongest firepower in their respective fleets, both spanning over one hundred fifty meters in length. Amidst the many reconnaissance ships, they were behemoths, and now, the two steel giants finally met face to face!

At this very moment, Baron Number finally charged towards Thunderhawk, which had been lying in wait, ready for its opponent's approach.

After previous bouts of warfare, both flagships were left without extra reconnaissance ships for escorts. Most of the older models around Thunderhawk had been sunk, and the few remaining wisely kept their distance. As for the reconnaissance ships that had been with Baron Number, they had all been picked off by Liliya one after another.

So, when the two flagships came face to face, each stood alone, free of any interference. This effectively allowed the two beasts to duke it out, to determine who would be the king of this aerial battle with one decisive fight!

Two hundred meters...

One hundred fifty meters...

One hundred meters...!!

When the distance between them closed in to less than a hundred meters, the two behemoths began to roar simultaneously!

The Thunderhawk's four main cannons and twenty secondary cannons fired at once, and Baron Number's Magic Cannons were not a beat behind, bursting into flames simultaneously!

For a moment, the sound of artillery formed a continuous barrage, especially the deafening boom of the main cannons, which was exceptionally piercing. The simultaneous fire from the main cannons of both flagships caused ear-ringing in the crews on their respective decks.

However, because it was prepared, Thunderhawk gained some advantage in this round of cannonade since it had adjusted the warship's position in advance, presenting its side towards Baron Number. This allowed all gun ports on the ship to aim and attack.

Conversely, Baron Number, coming in with a charge, faced Thunderhawk with its bow, resulting in half of its Magic Cannons being unable to take aim. Even among the five main cannons, only the two located at the bow could fire.

But similarly, because Baron Number was facing the barrage with its bow, the target area was smaller. Whereas Thunderhawk, presenting its broadside to Baron Number, had a larger target area and, in the first exchange, was actually hit first, struck by Baron Number's main cannon!
