Lord of the Sky City

When Rocky and the Black Armored Warriors were entangled in a fight, another member of the Imperial Knight Order hidden in the shadows wasn't idle either. This person had been waiting for the right moment and decisively shot a lethal arrow when the opportunity arose!

However, as if the arrow had been expected all along, it not only failed to kill Westwood, but it even caused Rocky to chase in the direction from which the Arrow Feather had come!

Rocky and his team had indeed been prepared for this arrow. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that they had been waiting for it all along, including their engagement with the Black Armored Warriors, which was all for the sake of drawing out this arrow.

If one thought about it carefully, they would see the problem—for instance, why was Rocky taking the lead when they fought with the Black Armored Warriors?

This might seem normal at first glance. Clara and Westwood were both injured, and Rocky was in the best condition. Among the three, the White Demon Armor was also the strongest, so it made sense for him to be the main attacker.

But that wasn't really the case, because in such a situation, the White Demon Armor wasn't suitable for entanglement with the enemy. This became apparent from the outcome—once the Black Armored Warriors got close, the Magic Fang Scythe's power was greatly reduced, unable to exhibit its overwhelming effect.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it should have been Clara who entangled with the enemy. Although she could hardly exert herself when approached closely with her Mana Whip, as long as Rocky was nearby, even the slightest opportunity would allow the Magic Fang Scythe to strike lethally and eliminate the Black Armored Warrior completely.

Yet they didn't do so. Such a mistake could be understood if it were just Rocky alone, but if it occurred among all three of them, it appeared very odd. After all, both Clara and Westwood were not only strong, but also highly tactical; they wouldn't make such tactical errors. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire

The reason for such actions was to create a vulnerability for another enemy!

Clara and Westwood understood that for the two members of the Imperial Knight Order, they were no longer considered a threat. The real danger was only Rocky. If Rocky was looking for an opportunity on the side, then the enemy hidden in the shadows would absolutely not make a move unless absolutely necessary. So they made Rocky take the lead and acted as bait themselves to lure the enemy into attacking. As soon as the enemy attacked, they would inevitably expose themselves momentarily, and then it would be up to Rocky's ability.

In achieving this, Clara and Westwood could be said to have been risking their own lives. The hidden Sniper was already strong, and with both in such poor condition, the slightest mistake could mean not just serving as bait but sending themselves to death.

And looking at the final result, Westwood, who was targeted, indeed came very close to death. Although he had been vigilant all along and had a premonition just before the surprise attack, he still couldn't dodge it. He only managed to turn at the last moment, using the heavily armored front to block the arrow, yet he was still blown away.

But likewise, as he was blown away, Rocky shot up into the sky and flew toward the direction the Arrow Feather had come from.

His takeoff also showed everyone a thing or two, stunning everyone present.

When Westwood was hit by the arrow, Rocky was in combat with a Black Armored Warrior. But at the exact moment Westwood was shot, he suddenly accelerated, instantly pushing the Armor's speed to its limit and soaring into the sky, his speed so fast that the Black Armored Warrior he was fighting couldn't react.

And after soaring into the sky, right in front of everyone, Rocky suddenly changed direction at a right angle, then disappeared in an instant...

This scene left Clara, Westwood, and the Black Armored Warrior dumbfounded and in disbelief.

The three of them were all wearing Fifth-Generation Armor and had undergone special modifications. Even so, they had to admit that they were utterly incapable of performing such a maneuver.

First, they couldn't possibly increase the speed of their Armor to maximum in an instant from a stationary state like Rocky did. This type of instant acceleration had surpassed the limits of Fifth Generation Armor, and no matter how much they modified it, it was impossible to achieve.

Second, it was impossible for them to perform a right-angle change in direction while maintaining their speed, just like Rocky did.

Just think about it, maintaining speed and then suddenly making a right-angle turn, such a maneuver didn't even need to be seen firsthand; just thinking about it was enough to realize it only existed in theory. In reality, it was simply unachievable, but Rocky managed it effortlessly, as if it were normal flight.

This left everyone stunned, leading to one question in everyone's mind: What on earth was Rocky wearing?

Oh no!

However, after a moment of shock, the Black Armored Warrior cursed inwardly and immediately followed in Rocky's direction!

He now understood the intentions of Rocky and his two companions, knowing that Rocky must be going to find his teammate. This realization sent a shock through him.

As a member of the Imperial Knight Order, the Black Armored Warrior knew the capabilities of his comrades all too well. Just as Clara understood that Westwood's Armor lacked close-combat capability, the Black Armored Warrior was acutely aware that his teammate, concealed in the shadows, would not be able to withstand Rocky's assault!

His teammate was a skilled Sniper, of that there was no doubt, but everyone has their specialties. In the Fierce Tiger Squad, Westwood was responsible for firepower. The Black Armored Warrior's teammate was only adept in long-range sniping. If an enemy, especially one with the mobility of Rocky, got close, it was all over.

So as soon as Rocky charged out, the Black Armored Warrior followed suit.

But just as he started to move, Clara's whip arrived!

With a flick of Clara's arm, the Mana Whip cracked out, forcing the Black Armored Warrior to dodge and then getting tangled up in it.

Charging at the enemy, Clara waved her Mana Whip continuously. In her hands, the Mana Whip seemed to come alive, changing length and moving with extreme agility, more like a spirited snake than a whip.

Observing the Black Armored Warrior faced with Clara's attack, his response was quite good, but he inevitably got caught up in it. More importantly, as Clara made her move, Westwood, who had no close-combat ability, also charged in and unexpectedly joined the battle. This made it virtually impossible for the Black Armored Warrior to pursue Rocky.

It was exactly because of this that Rocky was completely freed. Of course, his burden was not light, for he had to find the enemy who kept taking potshots at them in the shortest possible time.

But how easy could that be?

In such a chaotic and turbulent battlefield, finding one person was like looking for a needle in a haystack...!
