Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 404: Chapter 372: Surprise Attack! (Part 2)

Facing an overwhelming enemy, the commander of the escort fleet had no choice but to surrender. Since the commander also thought the enemy was the Air Pirate Group, in his view, as long as they surrendered and handed over the merchant convoy’s cargo to the opponent, the matter would be settled. And as long as they could safely return to the battle zone, wouldn’t there be plenty of opportunities to reclaim their factories?

Therefore, upon realizing that victory was impossible, especially after seeing the Void Magic Warriors dispatched by Rocky’s side, the commander of the escort fleet decisively chose to surrender.

However, Rocky did not give him that opportunity!

Under his command, the fleet continued to advance, bombarding constantly during the process, clearly not intending to accept any surrender.

This approach was something he, Karina, and Berg had already discussed. If their actions were to be put in the context of the Land Era, it was equivalent to a lone army deeply infiltrating the enemy’s rear, causing chaos. Therefore, the later the enemy knew the reality of their strength, the more advantageous for them. In this situation, Rocky and his comrades simply couldn’t afford to leave any survivors!

So, after this, the massive fleet commanded by Rocky closed in on the escort fleet. However, when the two forces got close enough for a melee, there were but a few enemy warships left. Yet, even so, Rocky did not show the slightest mercy, ordering Karina to lead the Void Magic Warriors to sink all the escort fleet’s ships!

And with the last escort warship disintegrating in midair, only more than twenty merchant ships of the Jindafu Commerce Guild remained on the battlefield, apart from Rocky’s troops.

In the fierce crossfire that just took place, more than ten merchant ships were sunk due to misdirected shots, but even so, the remaining ships still carried large quantities of cargo—enough for Rocky and his comrades to make a hefty profit.

However, Rocky and his team did not rush to divide the loot, for their attack on the supply-running merchant convoy for Chenxiu City meant they had fully joined the fight in the Tulip Battle Zone. All their next moves had to be flawless, otherwise they would inevitably be pursued to their deaths.

Thus, after surrounding the entire Chamber of Commerce, Karina led two Void Magic Warriors to board the lead merchant ship first.

“Where’s the captain! Come out!”

Having descended onto the deck in her Void Magic Armor, Karina looked around at the gathered crew members and asked without a hint of emotion.

By this time, she was no longer wearing the fourth generation Armor. Instead, she had switched to the fifth generation Special Armor. Just her presence was enough to subdue the entire merchant ship, preventing any crew member from daring to misbehave.

“I, I am the captain…”

As Karina’s voice trailed off, a man in his forties, trembling, walked out from among the crew.

“Where’s the Commerce Association Manager! Come out!”

After glancing at the captain who had stepped forward, Karina asked again.

Unfortunately, this time no one responded to her.

“Where is the Manager!”

Seeing that no one answered her, Karina raised her voice, but still, no one came forward.

After asking twice and still not seeing the Commerce Association Manager appear, Karina’s expression darkened bit by bit. Then she randomly turned to a crew member. “You, tell me, who is the Commerce Association Manager.”

“I, I…”

“Kill him.”

As the crew member hesitated, not knowing how to respond, Karina wasted no further words and coldly issued the command.

With her command, the Void Magic Warrior by her side took a large step forward, grabbed the crew member with one hand as if picking up a small chicken, then brought the crew member back beside Karina. In front of all the people on the ship, he pressed the crew member down and with one swordstroke, chopped off his head!

Gurgle…

The severed head rolled twice on the deck, and finally stopped between Karina and the crew, at which point Karina pointed her finger at another crew member.

“You, tell me…”

“It’s him! He’s the Manager!”

This time, without waiting for Karina to finish asking, the crew member she had called out to pointed in terror towards a side. With his accusation, all crew members around immediately stepped aside, revealing a man clad in crew’s attire with his face deeply hidden beneath a hat.

This man was the Commerce Association Manager who had just been having tea with the Captain. Only now, the Manager had changed his clothes and donned a large hat, disguising himself among the numerous crew members as if to slip by unnoticed, but alas, he was recognized and pointed out.

After being identified, the Void Magic Warrior who had just beheaded a crew member stepped forward and seized him in front of Karina.

“Your mercy, my lord! I am the Manager of the Jindafu Commerce Guild, you can contact our Chamber of Commerce, they will surely redeem me, please don’t kill me!”@@novelbin@@

Kneeling before Karina, the Manager began to plead for his life without a second thought.

After giving him a cold glance, Karina sneered and slowly said, “Kill them both.”

“Yes!”

The Void Magic Warrior beside her, without a second thought, raised his longsword. In the blink of an eye, the sword with its chilling glimmer came down, and two thuds were heard as the heads of the Captain and the Manager were chopped off, rolling across the deck!

Less than five minutes after alighting on the deck, three men had already lost their heads. With this, the legs of the other crew members turned to jelly. Faced with Karina in her Armor, they dared not even make a sound, let alone breathe heavily.

“Everyone, listen well, I will only say this once.”

As the heads of the Captain and Manager fell simultaneously, Karina slowly turned to the crew members and began to speak, “Helmsman, immediately lower the merchant ship to the land, everyone else follow orders and go to the cabin.”

“To the land…?”

Hearing this, many crew members were stunned. Whether it was the Air Pirate Group or the Alliance Army, after capturing a merchant ship, shouldn’t they be heading straight back? Why would they descend to land instead—no one expected Karina to issue such a command.

Could it be that over thirty cargo ships were descending to the land together?

What exactly were these people planning to do?

“Are you waiting for me to repeat myself…”

Seeing that most of the crew members were still in a daze, Karina’s brows arched coldly. As soon as she finished speaking, the Void Magic Warrior beside her immediately raised his bloodstained longsword, and the crew members hastily nodded in agreement, completely adopting a “your wish is my command” demeanor.

Following this, the cargo ship began to slowly descend, and at the same time, the other cargo ships did the same. Having been taken over by the Void Magic Warriors, all the cargo ships began their descent to the ground at this moment.

Seeing these merchant ships decreasing their altitude, Rocky, who was in command of the entire Allied Forces, also issued the same order, letting the main forces descend, slowly approaching the land…
