Chapter 804 -786: City-Destroying Machine!
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Tiger Swallow City slowly tilted in mid-air, the angle becoming increasingly pronounced until it finally plummeted to the land!
This scene left everyone wide-eyed and open-mouthed. No one had anticipated such a turn of events; some even doubted it was real, hastily rubbing their eyes—only to find the result unchanged.

Tiger Swallow City had indeed been sunk, not by a fleet, but by another Sky City!
This outcome thoroughly exceeded people’s understanding. In everyone’s fixed perception, how could a Sky City possess such destructive power?
In conventional wisdom, the only roles of a Sky City on the battlefield were resupply and covering retreats. As long as a Sky City remained on the battlefield, troops could return to the city at any time for resupply. If the situation turned unfavorable, they could retreat to the Sky City and rely on its Defensive Net for a final stand.
Though these roles were significant, they were ultimately auxiliary. A Sky City fundamentally lacked the capability to actively engage in combat.
But Thunderhawk City—what was going on? How did this city manage to use its own firepower to sink a Sky City, particularly an ultra-large one like Tiger Swallow City?!
It must be understood that sinking a Sky City of Tiger Swallow City’s caliber required an immense effort. First, countless fleets needed to launch relentless attacks on the Defensive Net until it shattered. Only then could an assault on the city itself commence. The time, resources, and manpower required in this process were staggering. Yet Thunderhawk City had shattered Tiger Swallow City’s Defensive Net with just a single round of bombardment, and sank the city completely with a second. This outcome was utterly beyond comprehension.
The remaining three Sky Cities, however, reacted swiftly, immediately issuing orders to their fleets, commanding them to encircle Thunderhawk City. With Tiger Swallow City’s fall, a breach had opened in the encirclement, creating an opportunity for Rocky to escape.
But these City Lords underestimated Rocky. They assumed that after sinking Tiger Swallow City, Rocky would surely flee, deploying their fleets to block his route. Yet, Rocky had no intention of running!
The Three Great Alliances had long provoked Rocky with their actions. All of Rocky’s preparations over such a long time were never intended for him to flee in disgrace. Therefore, after Tiger Swallow City’s destruction, Rocky issued new orders: one to have Thunderhawk City fly steadily toward the breach, and a second to begin turning the city.
In theory, there is no such concept as “direction” for Sky Cities in the air, but Thunderhawk City was different. The Asura Cannon was mounted in the western armament region of the city, so continuing the assault required turning the city.
This process required some time, but it was just enough for the Asura Cannon to recharge for a new round of firepower. Meanwhile, the surrounding enemies were hardly idle. Among the four remaining Sky Cities, aside from Howling Sky’s Sirius City, the other three quickly began closing in on Thunderhawk City. Their fleets, traveling faster, approached and launched an attack just a few minutes later.
The first wave of forces to engage was Tiger Swallow City’s fleet.
After Tiger Swallow City’s descent, its fleet temporarily lost command, but it was swiftly taken over by the Commanders of other Sky Cities. At the same time, the Sky Alliance issued new orders, commanding all forces to fire upon Thunderhawk City, break its Defensive Net, and seize the city!
Rocky had already infuriated the Sky Alliance beyond measure by capturing its Chief Elder Gandalf, sinking Tiger Swallow City, and refusing communication from beginning to end. Not only did several nearby Sky Cities receive orders, but other Alliance-controlled cities in the Eternal City airspace were also mobilized, racing toward Thunderhawk City at maximum speed!
Undoubtedly, this situation was unprecedented in the history of the Sky Era. Although alliances like the Three Great Alliances had appeared before, no individual had ever dared single-handedly provoke them all. An instance where all major powers of the sky combined their might to target a single city had never occurred.
But today, that moment arrived!
“This Rocky—his audacity is staggering.”
“He’s not just bold; his power is overwhelming. How did he manage to sink Tiger Swallow City?”
“Today will undoubtedly go down in history!”
Many Sky Cities populated the Eternal City airspace, especially today. When Rocky sunk Tiger Swallow City and the Sky Alliance began encircling him, the City Lords observing from other Sky Cities were left dumbfounded.
But for Rocky, he no longer cared. How others viewed him—whether favorable or hostile—was irrelevant. The only thing he cared about now was making the Three Great Alliances feel pain!
Confronting the advancing remnants of Tiger Swallow City’s fleet, Rocky commanded the Defensive Net to open. With the net activated, all incoming firepower was blocked outside. However, the fleets were faster than the Skyships, so it wasn’t long before large numbers of fleets closed in on Thunderhawk City and launched fierce assaults.
Unfortunately, these attacks barely made a ripple against Thunderhawk City’s Defensive Net. Even with thousands of warships firing their main cannons in unison, the result was futile—against Thunderhawk City’s Defensive Net, such attacks were akin to scratching an itch.
After enduring the attacks for some time, all thirty Asura Cannons completed their recharge. Rocky decisively issued the order: all Asura Cannons aimed at another Sky City and fired simultaneously, instantly unleashing their massive payloads.
Within seconds, the targeted Sky City’s Defensive Net was shattered. Ten minutes later, the second round of cannon fire arrived, and this Sky City descended into ruin.
The second Sky City collapsed from the skies, its wreckage crashing beside Tiger Swallow City’s remains on the land below…!
But was this enough?
Of course not!
Thunderhawk City, after modifications, possessed an abundant reserve of Mana, more than sufficient for extended combat. Without hesitation, Rocky had Thunderhawk City change direction again, pointing the Asura Cannons toward a third large Sky City.
Twenty minutes later, yet another two rounds of bombardment smashed the third Sky City, sending it plummeting to the ground!
With the third Sky City’s fall, the previously impenetrable encirclement was now nominal at best. Of the original five large Sky Cities, only two remained, making any effective blockade impossible. Rocky seized this moment to command Thunderhawk City to accelerate fully, charging out of the Eternal City airspace.
