Lord of the Sky City

Compared to the Void Magic Corps, the fleets of the Alliance Army and the Imperial Army suffered even heavier losses after the demons appeared!

After the Void Magic Corps was entangled by a multiple number of demons, another part of the demons flew towards the fleets of both sides, and without the escort of Void Magic Warriors, the fleets immediately fell into a dire situation.

Because to some extent, these flying demons were almost the same as the Void Magic Warriors, and most importantly, just as the Defensive Net of the warships couldn't block the Void Magic Warriors, it also couldn't stop the demons!

Although the warships immediately opened fire on the approaching demons, cannons were completely ineffective against these flying entities, and even relying on a barrage to hit some demons was like a drop in the ocean, given the pitiful hit rate compared to the overwhelming number of demons.

Under these circumstances, it didn't take long before the demons got close to the warships and directly landed on the decks. After landing, these demons stuck their flesh wings to their backs, instantly becoming indistinguishable from those demons on land!

This was bad news!

The deck was full of crew members who, when it came to operating warships, were certainly experts; but when it came to fighting, especially fighting demons, the crew members were completely outmatched, having neither armor nor weapons. How could they possibly stand a chance against the demons?

Consequently, the demons that landed on the deck started a massacre. As soon as they landed, they charged towards the crew members. Sometimes, they didn't even need to swing their claws; merely the impact generated by their bodies was enough to kill the crew members by crashing into them, and when they did swing their claws, it was even more terrifying. A swipe of their claws either shattered skulls or tore the crew members into pieces, creating a gruesome scene.

Facing this situation, the commanders from both sides reacted quickly and issued several orders immediately.

On one hand, they ordered the warships to immediately retreat back to Sky City, because the Defensive Net of Sky City was different from that of the warships. Due to the powerful mana, Sky City's Defensive Net could block everything, including Void Magic Warriors. Since it could block Void Magic Warriors, it definitely could prevent demons from entering, thus ensuring temporary safety for the fleet once it withdrew into the city.

On the other hand, the commanders issued orders to the Void Magic Corps engaged in combat to immediately return and escort the fleet. If escorted by Void Magic Warriors, the safety of the fleet could be somewhat assured.

These orders were undoubtedly sound, but actually implementing them was easier said than done.

As for the fleet, upon receiving the orders, all the warships that had not yet encountered demon attacks immediately turned around and flew at full speed towards Sky City.

However, compared to the fleet, the Void Magic Corps had already been entangled by groups of demons. To say nothing of returning to escort the fleet, it was questionable whether they could even protect themselves in the face of so many demons.

At this moment, the Void Magic Corps on the battlefield encountered an unprecedented crisis!

Given the overwhelming number of demons, along with the soldiers' lack of experience in battling such numerous foes, the formation of the troops was disrupted as soon as the combat started. The Void Magic Warriors, who were originally organized into squads, were separated by the demons, resulting in every warrior fighting for themselves.

This situation, where they were already at a numerical disadvantage and their strength was not much higher than that of the demons, was clearly not favorable for the Void Magic Corps. No, it should be called a disaster because, numerically, the demons were about twice the number of Void Magic Warriors, but in reality, the warriors faced demons from all directions. Facing demons attacking from all sides, the warriors were often torn to shreds after just a few exchanges...

As a result, casualties appeared immediately on the battlefield and quickly escalated, causing dozens of Void Magic Squads to vanish.

What should we do?

What exactly should we do?

At such a critical moment, Rocky, the entire Fierce Tiger Squad, and even members of the Imperial Knight Order were all pondering the same question: What should they do?!

They were the elite of the Void Magic Corps, the only ones who could stand a chance against hordes of Demons, but they were also tasked with saving others, and as time passed, even they began to find themselves in peril.

Demons lack the concept of life and death and do not know what fear is. Thus, elite units like the Fierce Tiger Squad and the Imperial Knight Order attracted more Demons the more enemies they killed on the battlefield. Once the number of Demons they faced reached a critical point, they were in danger.

And that moment was now!

Having chosen to disperse at the start, the Fierce Tiger Squad and the Imperial Knight Order, like the other warriors, were each fighting their battles alone, surrounded by more Demons than they could count. So even if they wanted to assist or command their troops, they simply couldn't.

"Captain!"

"Have everyone regroup on me!"

Just as Kyle was tackled by two Demons, he heard Rocky's voice through the communicator.

"What did you say?"

After violently shaking off the two Demons clinging to him and slicing them with two swift cuts, Kyle flew rapidly while firing several magic energy cannons, blasting the approaching Demons dead before he could finally respond.

"Have everyone come to me; I'll lead us out!"

With a horizontal sweep of his scythe, Rocky cut two Demons in half at the waist, then he leaped up into the air, speaking to Kyle through the communicator as he did so.

He was going to lead them out!

On this battlefield, there might be individuals stronger than Rocky, but none could rival his status and position; he was the only City Lord on the battlefield!

As a City Lord, he had led his troops to victory more than once. On land, he had led his Guard Corps to numerous victories over Demons; in the air, his fleet had repelled formidable foes more than once, and each time, he had charged to the forefront, leading his troops to victory with his own strength.

It was precisely because of this that Rocky knew very well when he should take responsibility, and now was the moment when someone needed to step forward and lead the Void Magic Corps. So, if no one else was capable, he would not hesitate to take on this responsibility and lead everyone out of the encirclement, just like always, just like a City Lord!
