Lord of the Sky City

"Sir! Sir! Please, take a look at this..."

The second Guard who burst into the study couldn't even finish his sentence before he handed a letter to Karlo. As Karlo took the letter with a puzzled look, he was completely dumbfounded.

"A Declaration of War from Thunderhawk City against Wild Horse City!"

Looking down at the letter in his hand, Karlo immediately saw the bold words—it was indeed a declaration of war handed to him by Rocky!

Seeing this declaration, Karlo's mind buzzed and exploded. What was going on?

Just three days ago, he had purchased intelligence from the Shadow Alliance, which clearly stated that Rocky had not joined any alliance or organization. Therefore, although Karlo was worried, he felt that he at least had time to think things through. After all, before joining an alliance, Rocky wouldn't have the strength to provoke him.

But what was happening now?

How had Rocky suddenly declared war on him? Could it be that he had joined some alliance within these three days?

Impossible, Karlo quickly dismissed the possibility. He had already made arrangements with the Shadow Alliance and even paid them. If Rocky had joined an alliance, the Shadow Alliance would have informed him at once. Since there was no news from them, it meant that Rocky had not joined any alliance.

This only made the situation more puzzling for Karlo. Just then, a distant, deep sound came from the far horizon...

Boom...

Boom...

Boom, boom...

The sound of cannon fire!

The thunderous sound of the cannons appeared unexpectedly, the noise flowing through the study's window and directly into Karlo's ears...

It was at that moment that the third Guard rushed into the study!

"Sir! The Thunderhawk City Fleet is firing at us!"

"Shut up! Head to the Skyport at once!"

Kicking the Guard blocking his path, Karlo rushed out of the study and headed straight for the carriage to the Wild Horse City Skyport!

...

...

Time rewinds to this morning.

This morning, having stayed within the airspace of Eternal City for half a year, Thunderhawk City suddenly activated its flight mode and then slowly flew out of Eternal City's airspace, heading straight for the airspace above Wild Horse City, which was stationed outside.

Meanwhile, inside the Skyport of Thunderhawk City, the entire First Fleet of Thunderhawk City was ready. Following Rocky's command, ten large warships ascended one after another.

After a long preparation, Rocky had finally readied everything, which meant that the war between Thunderhawk City and Wild Horse City was set to commence today!

"Pass my orders, maintain formation, and advance at full speed towards Wild Horse City!"

Standing on the deck of War Steed, clad in White Demon Armor, Rocky waved his hand and issued the command to advance at full speed. With his order, the fleet slowly flew out of the Defensive Net and headed towards the nearby Wild Horse City.

After more than a month of training, the sailors of Thunderhawk City had become fully familiar with the new warships. With Rocky's consent, they also had christened new names for the new warships.

With the approval of Thunderhawk City's fleet, sanctioned by Rocky, the Dominator Type 2 battleship was named War Steed, the Fire God Type 3 Air Cruiser was named Hunter, and the four destroyers were named Guardians No. 1 to No. 4. Along with the already-named Thunderhawk and other escort ships, each of the large warships of Thunderhawk City now had its own name.

After being reorganized, the First Fleet of Thunderhawk City appeared to comprise only ten warships—a seemingly small number. Yet, when this fleet actually took to the skies and left the Defensive Net, it was immensely formidable.

This was not surprising, because just one battleship was over three hundred meters long, air cruisers were over two hundred meters, and even the smallest destroyers and escort ships were around one hundred meters each. A fleet consisting of such numerous large warships flying in the sky looked like a terrifying black cloud!

And with such a massive fleet soaring majestically, Wild Horse City could not have missed it. As a medium-sized Sky City, constantly engaged in battles, it naturally had early warning systems. So, as soon as Rocky led the fleet into the visual range of Wild Horse City, they were spotted, and the duty fleet immediately took to the skies—which was when the first Guard rushed to report to Karlo.

However, due to the suddenness of the event, the fleet sent out from Wild Horse City was not very large, comprising only five escort ships and twenty reconnaissance ships, which certainly was not the full strength of Wild Horse City; this was just an emergency airborne alert force.

Thus, the two fleets soon encountered each other, and then Rocky had Lin Feng deliver a declaration of war to them, which was immediately sent into the city by their personnel as well.

But after delivering the declaration of war, and before Wild Horse City could react, Rocky unhesitatingly ordered to fire! Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire

"Fire!!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!!!"

At Rocky's command, all warships received the order through the magic energy communicator, and then the muzzles of over a hundred magic cannons simultaneously burst into flames, sounding the horn of war.

The deafening sound of cannons erupted at that moment, and a net of firepower composed of mana cannonballs instantly enveloped the fleet of Wild Horse City, sinking more than ten reconnaissance ships and one escort ship in an instant!

You should know that Wild Horse City's fleet was no pushover; the quality of their warships was high, including the reconnaissance ships. Their main fleet was even composed entirely of fifth-generation warships.

Moreover, Wild Horse City's fleet could be said to be battle-hardened; they had constant disputes with Fire Elf City, and in those ongoing battles, from commander to soldier, their experience was extremely rich. In fact, they were already in tight formation and prepared for combat even before Rocky ordered to fire.

But unfortunately, the gap between the two sides was too great...

Due to the hasty ascent, the warships dispatched by Wild Horse City did not even make up a complete fleet; though numerous, most were reconnaissance ships. But in the face of a combat group led by battleships, what could reconnaissance ships do besides scout?

Therefore, just after one round of cannon fire, more than half of the reconnaissance ships were decimated!

In the process, the only five escort ships that Wild Horse City had tried to deploy their defensive nets immediately, but Rocky's side had overwhelming firepower. Under such powerful firepower, the defensive nets of the escort ships were just not up to the task and were immediately sunk.

After just one exchange of fire, they lost over ten reconnaissance ships and one escort ship, which made the opposing commander dare not linger and immediately ordered to turn the ships around to retreat toward Wild Horse City. But how could Rocky give them a chance?

When the enemy was preparing to retreat, an earth-shattering boom suddenly echoed from the War Steed, followed by an immensely huge column of light!

The Sky-piercing Cannon, boasting ten thousand points of power—fired!

Under Rocky's command, the main cannon of the War Steed fired!

The noise from the cannon was so loud that even Rocky, protected by his armor, felt his ears buzzing. The tremendous impact knocked down a group of guards on deck, and after the shot, when they looked toward the enemy again, they saw two escort ships simultaneously disintegrating in the air!

One shot split two!

With just one shot, the Sky-piercing Cannon proved its unmatched power by sinking two escort ships!

Although it was anticipated, when Rocky personally witnessed two escort ships disintegrate in the air at the same time, he still couldn't help but gasp—it was simply too powerful.

And with that, there was nothing more to say about the battle. With just two rounds of firing, three of Wild Horse City's five escort ships were sunk, and all twenty reconnaissance ships were destroyed. As for the remaining two escort ships, they didn't last a few minutes before they exploded under intense firepower.

Thus, the alert force sent from Wild Horse City was completely annihilated!

But although the opponent's forces were wiped out instantly, Rocky didn't relax at all. He immediately ordered the fleet to adjust formation and commanded Liliya and Monte with their Void Magic Armors to get ready for combat!

Rocky was well aware that what had just been destroyed was only a small detachment of Wild Horse City. The enemy's truly formidable fleet had not shown itself yet, which meant the battle was far from over; in fact, it had hardly even begun!

He was not wrong, because soon after, from the direction of Wild Horse City came a fleet comparable to theirs in strength, also composed entirely of large warships and similarly immense!

Wild Horse City's main force had finally appeared!
