Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 805 - 787: Escaping Safely

Chapter 805 -787: Escaping Safely

In just one hour, three massive Sky Cities were sunk in succession, not only breaking Rocky’s seemingly impenetrable encirclement but also shocking everyone present!

The onlookers, especially the spectators without stakes, need not be mentioned—they were astonished beyond words. As for the surrounding City Lords, their jaws had already dropped to the ground. Thunderhawk City sinking Tiger Swallow City had left them dumbfounded, but who would have thought that this was merely the beginning? Just when everyone assumed Rocky would use the gap created by Tiger Swallow City’s destruction to escape, Thunderhawk City suddenly sank two more Sky Cities in the blink of an eye, thoroughly stunning everyone.

Compared to the spectators, those City Lords who had received orders from the Alliance and were rushing toward Thunderhawk City as quickly as possible were far from relaxed. Unlike the former, they weren’t left slack-jawed but were instead trembling with fear!

No one cared anymore about *how* Rocky managed this feat. Every single Sky Alliance member within Eternal City’s airspace now contemplated one singular question: “Am I the next target?”

Under these circumstances, hesitation seeped into everyone’s actions. One by one, the Sky Cities that had initially accelerated toward Thunderhawk unwittingly began to slow down, especially the medium-sized and small Sky Cities. If even large Sky Cities couldn’t survive Thunderhawk City’s two rounds of cannon fire, wouldn’t the mediums and smalls be erased in a single volley? They’d likely cease to exist as soon as Thunderhawk unleashed its guns. Thus, these cities slowed their advance.

Those Sky Cities farther away benefited from this caution—they still had time to retreat. By contrast, the unfortunate ones already close to Thunderhawk City weren’t so lucky, especially the two Sky Cities remaining within the encirclement.

After the fall of the other three Sky Cities, Rocky found himself surrounded by only two remaining opponents: his old acquaintance Sirius City and another unnamed Sky City. The City Lords of these two—especially the latter—were under immense stress due to their proximity to Rocky!

“Quick! Retreat! Pull back immediately!”

The moment the third Sky City plummeted from the skies, the City Lord of the unnamed Sky City issued a retreat command. Now, his Sky City was already pulling away from Thunderhawk as swiftly as possible, looking like a beaten dog running for safety.

On the other hand, Sirius City held its position—not because it couldn’t move, but because Howling Sky had given strict orders from the outset of the battle. His directive was clear: Sirius City and its deployed fleet were to remain motionless. No matter how the other cities fought, he absolutely refused to initiate attacks against Rocky.

Howling Sky truly understood Rocky well. He knew that as long as he refrained from attacking Rocky, the faint bond between them would remain intact. As long as that shred of goodwill existed, Rocky wouldn’t intentionally target him. His gamble paid off.

When the encirclement had dwindled to just the two cities, Rocky simultaneously directed Thunderhawk City to fly toward the borders of Eternal City’s airspace while ordering the Asura Cannon to continue charging. Once fully charged, another round of fire shattered the defensive net of the unnamed Sky City nearby, forcing it to retreat. Only then did Rocky start to leave; as Thunderhawk passed by Sirius City, no attack ensued.

In this way, Howling Sky could only watch Thunderhawk glide past his city helplessly. In a daze, it even seemed as though he saw Rocky aboard Thunderhawk looking back at him. Of course, this was just an illusion—but it was enough to showcase the psychological impact Rocky’s recent actions had inflicted upon Howling Sky. He now lived under the shadow of Rocky’s power.

As Howling Sky watched Thunderhawk’s silhouette disappear into the distance, an enormous fireball suddenly erupted before his eyes!

It turned out that another Sky City, already positioned along Thunderhawk’s escape route, had intercepted its path. Without hesitation, Rocky fired upon it. The unfortunate city—merely a medium-sized Sky City—stood zero chance. A single round of cannon fire shattered its defensive net, and subsequent bombardment obliterated the city entirely in an instant.

But this wasn’t the only victim. Another medium-sized Sky City appeared near Thunderhawk’s flank. Though it began retreating immediately upon noticing Thunderhawk, Rocky showed no mercy. Once the Asura Cannon finished charging again, it unleashed another volley, reducing the city to nothing but fire and wreckage plummeting to the ground.

With this, not a single Sky City under the Sky Alliance dared to pursue Thunderhawk. Everyone had come to realize a stark truth: anyone who ventured into Thunderhawk’s firing range would inevitably be greeted with its merciless firepower—no exceptions.

One single Sky City terrorizing dozens of Alliance-controlled Sky Cities into abandoning pursuit was undeniably yet another miracle Rocky had orchestrated, destined to reverberate across the skies by tomorrow.

While the Sky Alliance’s members had ceased their pursuit, the Alliance itself wasn’t ready to let Rocky and Thunderhawk off the hook. On the contrary, Thunderhawk’s extraordinary display of strength only further galvanized their desire to capture him.

Thus, the Sky Cities halted their chase, but each dispatched massive fleets in an attempt to intercept Thunderhawk with warships instead.

Unfortunately, this plan failed too. Thunderhawk City now boasted not only unmatched offensive power but also impregnable defenses!

The defensive net of Thunderhawk, enhanced through modifications, far exceeded enemy expectations. Ever since Tiger Swallow City fell, thousands of warships had bombarded Thunderhawk relentlessly, yet its defenses remained completely unscathed.

Even so, Rocky dared not grow complacent. The Sky Alliance fleets now numbered far more than mere thousands. Every Sky City that had avoided direct confrontation had deployed its entire fleet—a force that had grown to over tens of thousands of warships!

Faced with such a massive pursuit force, even Thunderhawk’s impenetrable defenses couldn’t guarantee safe passage. Accordingly, Rocky ordered Thunderhawk to retreat at full speed.

As Thunderhawk accelerated, another of its upgraded advantages came to light—its unparalleled speed, far beyond that of any contemporary Sky City!

When Thunderhawk flew at full speed, not only could no Sky City keep up, but even the fleets couldn’t match its pace. It wasn’t that Thunderhawk had outpaced warships entirely; rather, when the fleets were deployed, Thunderhawk had already traveled far ahead. With such an enormous initial gap between them, those slower fleets had no chance of catching up.

Thus, after an entire day and night of pursuit, the few thousand warships closest to Thunderhawk were ultimately forced to retreat. In the end, Thunderhawk succeeded in shaking off all its pursuers completely.
