Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 399: Chapter 367 Rebel Army

While Rocky was carrying out his stealth attack plan, the battles in the Tulip Battle Zone were raging fiercely.

Now, Tulip City had turned into ruins, with no living humans left inside; the only beings that remained were the Demons.

In the past half month or so, the ruins of Tulip City had frequently erupted with roars that reverberated through the sky, sending shivers down one’s spine, just like now.

At this moment, the Demons gathered within the city were simultaneously howling at the sky, their deafening screams piercing the heavens, but soon these sounds were suppressed by the sound of cannon fire.

However, it was tragic that the thunderous cannon fire was not directed at these Demons but at the opposite side, at their fellow humans.

At this time, above Tulip City, the Alliance Army and the Rebel Army were engaged in fierce combat.

Yes, the Rebel Army—those forces and families that had declared war on the Sky Alliance, naming themselves the Rebel Army, resisting the oppression of the Sky Alliance, a frank explanation.

The Rebel Army positioned above Tulip City consisted of over six hundred warships, forming three massive fleets that were now launching a fierce attack on the Alliance Army from three directions. The roar of gunfire once it commenced, drowned out all other sounds, becoming the main melody of the entire battlefield.

Compared to them, the Alliance Army had significantly fewer troops; with only over four hundred warships in the sky, they were at least one-third fewer than the enemy.

Even so, the Alliance Army fought tenaciously. Facing the enemy forces composed of three fleets, the Alliance Army divided their troops into two massive fronts, their powerful strikes firmly blocking the enemy’s onslaught.

Since it was an exchange of cannon fire between warships and both sides had commanders directing the battle, despite more than a thousand warships being involved in the combat, the battlefield was not chaotic at all. Both sides maintained good formations and were well-organized.

If one were to look at the entire battlefield from a distance, they would see the buffer zone between the fighting sides continuously flashing with light, resembling the twinkling stars under the night sky.

In such large-scale battles, both sides would avoid melee combat unless absolutely necessary. After all, with more than a thousand warships deployed, initiating melee combat would result in a true free-for-all, which would, regardless of victory or defeat, result in tremendous losses for either side.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, facing such a level of battle, both sides would engage in cannon fire within range, using artillery to weaken the enemy’s troops. Only when the number of enemy warships was reduced and their side held an absolute advantage would they choose to launch a major assault, and at that time, whether it was melee or otherwise, their side would have an absolute advantage.

The process of both sides bombarding each other, that area in the middle is called the buffer zone.

Now, if one were to look closely at the battlefield, they would find that the artillery’s buffer zone was also a battlefield of fierce fighting, with the Alliance and Rebel Void Magic Warriors engaged in life-and-death struggles within the buffer zone.

In this level of combat, Void Magic Warriors were indispensable and in vast numbers, but in this area, the Alliance was at a disadvantage. Observing the battlefield closely, it was often seen that two Rebel Void Magic Warriors were attacking one from the Alliance side, sometimes even three at a time.@@novelbin@@

In this way, it seemed that the Alliance Army was at a disadvantage in every aspect, and under these circumstances, the battle should not last long before a victor emerged.

Is that so?

Of course not!

Although the Alliance Army might have fewer troops than the enemy, do not forget that the main force in the Tulip City War Zone is not a hodgepodge of miscellaneous troops but is personally led by Wilton from the Alliance Army!

As the only unit directly under the Sky Alliance, the Alliance Army is considered elite in every aspect throughout the entire sky.

Take warships, for example. The warships equipped by the Alliance Army are not merely Fifth Generation warships. All the warships equipped by this unit are independently developed by the Alliance, and can’t even be purchased on the market. Though they are also Fifth Generation, their overall performance is much stronger than that of the Fifth Generation warships available on the market.

Then take the Void Magic Warriors. Every Void Magic Warrior in the Alliance Army is among the elite of the elite. Even the most ordinary warrior among them would be a squad leader level in any other alliance or family. The Armor each of these Void Magic Warriors wears is also worth mentioning. Each piece of Armor is independently researched and produced by the Alliance, and is simply not comparable to the standard Armor out there.

More importantly, the quality of soldiers in the Alliance Army is also extremely high.

The Alliance Army is not an idle force. With the vast size of the Sky Alliance and so many members, battles are nearly constant with Demons, enemies, and other Sky Cities, and all these fights related to the Alliance are the responsibility of the Alliance Army. This has turned every soldier and officer into a veteran, whose overall quality is unimaginably high.

In contrast, the quality of the Rebel Army forces is much inferior.

Although the Rebel Army, composed of various families and forces, has more troops in total than the Alliance Army, their equipment quality and personnel capabilities are much lower compared to the Alliance Army. Therefore, during this period, battles like today’s have erupted many times, yet every time the numerically superior Rebel Army could hardly gain an advantage, managing at best a draw, and sometimes even getting bitten back by the numerically inferior Alliance Army.

Therefore, today’s battle lasted from morning until the afternoon before it ended, and the result was the same as previous fights – a draw with losses on both sides.

“Sir, if this continues… it might not work…”

After the battle ended, Wilton, who personally led the Fleet, returned to the City Lord’s Mansion. While someone was helping him change his Armor, a nearby Think Tank couldn’t help but say, “Sir, if we keep fighting like this, our forces will eventually be exhausted; it’s time for the Alliance to send reinforcements.”

“Wait a bit longer.”

After taking a hot towel handed by a servant, Wilton wiped his face and then said, “The Empire allows these families and forces to attack first to test the depth of the Alliance, so the later we show our hand, the better for us.”

“But sir, it’s clear they came prepared. If we let them keep attacking, eventually we won’t be able to hold them off.”

“……”

Casually tossing the towel aside, Wilton did not refute the Think Tank’s words but took a while to think before he finally spoke again, “Don’t worry, there will be a turning point…”
