Chapter 409: Chapter 377: The Sparrow Stalks Behind

“Ascend! Ascend immediately!”

Realizing they had fallen into an ambush, Lapaton issued the command urgently, ordering all the warships to ascend immediately.

This command seemed simple, but it was the only command Lapaton could give.

It’s an old saying, only a Void Magic Warrior can stop another Void Magic Warrior. With their own Void Magic Warriors ambushed and annihilated, facing the enemy swooping toward the fleet, what could Lapaton do but order the warships to ascend?

He could do nothing else.

In fact, he couldn’t even manage to get the warships to ascend!

...

Because the fleet was too close to the cargo ship…

Previously mentioned, Lapaton had led the fleet there at midnight. So, to facilitate the investigation by the Void Magic Warriors, he had ordered the fleet to descend very low and had the ships surround the cargo ship for illumination.

In such circumstances, Karina and her companions, bursting out from the cargo ship, were merely a stone’s throw away from the warships, almost instantly within striking distance.

In an instant, Lin Feng leaped up and appeared above the deck of a destroyer, raising his hand and firing a series of Magic Energy Bullets, immediately making the crew scurry for cover.

Just when the crew thought he was about to land on the deck, Lin Feng stopped his attack and turned away.

As they watched him appear and suddenly leave, the crew was baffled. But it wasn’t long before someone shouted, “He’s attacking the hull!”

Upon hearing this, the crew near the ship’s side immediately looked outward and then saw Lin Feng had already flown to the side of the warship.

At that moment, he was holding aloft a giant sword specially made by Hammerfire and chopped down towards the hull!

With a loud clang, the thick armor of the hull was struck, emitting a huge noise.

Any large warship, aside from having a Defensive Net, is also equipped with heavy armor to withstand attacks when the Defensive Net is breached. Thus, for a single Void Magic Warrior to take on a large warship, considerable skill is required.

Lin Feng’s method seemed clumsy as he aimed at the thick armor, but in reality, this was the quickest way for him since his Armor’s long-range capabilities were not strong. The advantage of his armor was almost entirely concentrated in the giant sword in his hands, which had powerful attack capability even against thick armor.

As long as he breached the armor, he could directly enter the ship’s cabin, aiming precisely for the location of the Magic Stone that powered the warship!

Thus, after four or five strikes, Lin Feng had forcefully hacked a large hole in the hull of the destroyer, quickly charging in; less than half a minute later, he flew out swiftly, but before he had gotten far, the destroyer behind him exploded!

Under the impact of the explosion, Lin Feng was blown several meters away before stopping and then rushed towards another warship.

While he was flying toward another warship, nearby, another warship heavily crashed straight down to the ground. Since the crash site was close to him, Lin Feng took a glance and saw Karina flying out from the fallen warship.

“This woman… really powerful…”

When Lin Feng discovered that the person who had sunk the warship was Karina, he was secretly surprised. He remembered clearly that Karina had just been blocking the leader of the enemy’s Void Magic Squad, hadn’t she?

Indeed, Karina had been blocking the enemy Void Magic Squad’s leader just moments ago, but now, she had already killed him!

Both being Void Magic Warriors and wearing Special Armor of the Fifth Generation, the leader of the Void Magic Squad could not withstand more than five minutes in front of Karina and was cut down within a few exchanges.

After killing her opponent, Karina immediately joined the ranks attacking the warships, and, with the utmost speed, destroyed two warships — the warship that fell in front of Lin Feng was actually the second one she had brought down.

As more and more Void Magic Warriors from Rocky’s side rushed out from the cargo ship and joined the offensive against the warships, the pressure on Lapaton surged suddenly. One warship after another disintegrated or fell under the onslaught of the Void Magic Warriors, and the situation became perilously critical.

However, Lapaton still had at least one advantage, that was the quantity and quality. Although the complete annihilation of his Void Magic Warriors put him at a significant disadvantage, let’s not forget that he commanded a fleet of more than fifty warships, all of which were large battleships.

Such a number and scale of fleet, even if it let the Void Magic Warriors attack without moving, was not so easily defeated.@@novelbin@@

The situation was just like this.

There were only four squads of Void Magic Warriors on Rocky’s side, among which Karina was the strongest. Only Karina wore the Special Armor of the Fifth Generation, hence apart from her, it often took two or three or even three to four Void Magic Warriors to sink a warship. Even though there were some individuals, like Lin Feng, who could independently sink warships, it took them quite a lot of time.

This gave Lapaton a chance. Under his command, all warships ascended with full force. Although the loss continued to increase in this process, compared to the entire fleet, the sunk warships were still few — seven or eight? A dozen? That was the most, and the majority of the warships still managed to arrive above the forest smoothly.

For Lapaton, once his troops successfully ascended to high altitude, they had the chance to retreat. Losing a few more warships then was nothing compared to the annihilation of the entire army.

Regrettably, although his calculations were good, they had already been anticipated by Rocky and others!

When Lapaton led the vast majority of his warships to successfully fly above the forest, before they could rejoice, they saw one after another warship rising from the forest in the distance!

“This is…”

As warships continued to rise from all directions, Lapaton was initially stunned, then quickly realized what was happening!

Clearly, besides the Void Magic Warriors, Rocky and his team had set an ambush — their fleet!

Why was this ambush called the Sparrowhawk Plan?

It was because Rocky and his team intended to be both the mantis stalking the cicada and the sparrowhawk waiting behind!

And seeing Rocky’s fleet emerge, Lapaton’s heart completely sank. He knew, this time, he was truly finished…

No, he still had a chance!

Looking at the distant fleet, Lapaton keenly realized he still had a glimmer of hope!
