Lord of the Sky City

Before the light from the explosions of two reconnaissance ships had even dissipated, the Thunderhawk, like a ferocious beast accelerating with all its might, completely scattered the blaze in midair.

At the same time, the reconnaissance ships blocking the Thunderhawk's path began to explode one by one into fireballs. Within just a few minutes, five or six reconnaissance ships had successively blown up, becoming stepping stones for the Thunderhawk's breakout!

Such a quick succession of explosions among the reconnaissance ships immediately drew everyone's attention.

As the warring parties saw the Thunderhawk crushing fireballs and breaking through the encirclement, different reactions emerged from each side.

Karina's fleet, upon sighting the Thunderhawk, was instantly morale-boosted, recognizing it as their own reinforcement. Amongst Karina's crew were many veterans who, upon seeing the Thunderhawk, realized the decisive moment in this aerial battle had come. The captains of the escort ships, including the commander of the flagship Code Rose, all began to converge towards the Thunderhawk.

The members of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group also noticed the presence of the Thunderhawk. In contrast to their opponents' soaring morale, the pirates responded equally actively and swiftly, with a large number of warships, including escort ships, heading straight for the Thunderhawk.

This development broke the momentary stalemate that had been maintained in the chaos, and both sides began a decisive battle around the Thunderhawk!

This truly was a case of one stone stirring a thousand waves!

To be honest, Rocky hadn't expected his arrival to trigger a battle between the two sides, but this turned out to be very advantageous for him.

There were no large warships around the Thunderhawk, so when both sides started to approach at the same time, the Thunderhawk's firepower superiority became evident. Before the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group's large warships could arrive, the Thunderhawk was invincible.

In this situation, Felly, who was in charge of commanding, decidedly gave up waiting where he was and instead launched an attack, charging towards the enemy!

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the nearest escort ship of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group had no choice but to accelerate and meet the Thunderhawk head-on.

Both large warships accelerated towards each other, and within minutes they entered each other's firing range. Immediately they opened fire, unleashing the fiercest of artillery barrages on one another!

"Fire! Fire!"

"Lads, aim carefully and hit them hard. It's just an escort ship, take it down!"

"Fire! Fire! Hit them brutally hard, let these bastards know our strength! Take down that flagship!"

"Quick! Quick! Aim and fire!"

As the two warships began to exchange cannon fire, commanders on their respective decks urged their gunners to fire as many rounds as possible in the shortest time.

In the deafening roar of gunfire, the first round of cannon fire quickly ended, followed by the second round, and then the third. And with each round of cannon fire, the two warships drew ever closer.

However, as the distance between them decreased and the rounds of cannon fire increased, the advantage of the Thunderhawk gradually became apparent.

As the flagship, the combat power of the Thunderhawk was inherently stronger than that of an ordinary escort ship, be it the defensive net or the number and firepower of the main and secondary cannons. When you add that all of the Thunderhawk's magic cannons had been rune-enhanced, their power was much greater than other flagships of the same class.

Therefore, as the two sides drew closer and the hit rate increased, the escort ships of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group gradually couldn't withstand the onslaught.

By the time the Thunderhawk completed its third round of cannon fire, an escort ship of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group had already been directly hit by two main cannon shots, blasting two large holes through the hull. Not long after the commencement of the fourth round, that escort ship was directly sunk!

Meanwhile, the fleets of both sides had also gradually approached. The Thunderhawk, having just sunk an enemy escort ship, naturally became the vanguard of its side. With the momentum of a recent victory, it led the many warships behind it into the decisive battle against the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group!

The decisive battle erupted with nonstop cannon fire, the sound of simultaneous salvoes from both fleets' warships even drowning out the thunder of the magical energy storms within the Traceless Battlefield!

"Kilov, your Wild Horse Air Pirate Group is finished!"

As the two fleets engaged in the decisive battle, Karina, who had been constantly entangled with Kilov, deliberately widened the distance between them and then sneered coldly at Kilov.

Yet faced with her words, Kilov, looking exceedingly haggard, was at a loss for words, because what Karina had said was true—his Wild Horse Air Pirate Group was finished... Find exclusive content at empire

Once Rocky's Thunderhawk joined the fray and directly triggered the final engagement of this space battle, the inevitability of defeat had already been looming.

In terms of strength, the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group might have had a slightly larger fleet, but that was mainly due to the additional reconnaissance ships. In the count of large warships, the sides were actually even. However, in the quality of their warships, the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group was at a disadvantage.

Karina's fleet, from the flagship to the escort ships and down to the reconnaissance ships, was uniformly of the fourth generation. The entire fleet was at the fourth-generation standard, a level of power comparable to a medium-sized Sky City; in contrast, the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group's fleet varied greatly in quality, with a mix of fourth, third, and even second generation warships.

It was impressive that they had managed to hold on up to this point.

This was precisely why the participation of the Thunderhawk was extremely important. It disrupted the balance of the battlefield, directly leading to Karina's side gaining a lead in the number of large warships and even leading by an additional flagship. Secondly, it significantly boosted the morale of Karina's side.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have commenced the decisive battle immediately upon the Thunderhawk's arrival on the battlefield.

What's more, the decisive battle had only just begun, and the Thunderhawk had already taken the lead by sinking one of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group's escort ships. This was absolutely pivotal. The Wild Horse Air Pirate Group's large warships were already one ship down with the joining of the Thunderhawk, and before the battle had even formally kicked off, another one had sunk.

With such disparity in the naval quality and also at a disadvantage in numbers, how could they win this decisive battle?

All of this Kilov knew all too well, so he had no way to refute Karina's mockery.

However, after this, Kilov looked at Karina with a ferocious smile, and with madness bellowed:

"You bitch! My air pirate group is finished, but you won't fare any better!"

With a frenzied roar, the shoulders of the Void Magic Armor Kilov was wearing suddenly opened up, revealing two mana launchers hidden within!

"You bitch, go to hell too!"
