Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 812 - 794: Cooking Without Rice

Chapter 812 -794: Cooking Without Rice

With Felly’s command, the fully charged Sky-piercing Cannon adjusted its barrel. Immediately following, a deafening boom echoed, as a massive shell was launched!

The enormous sound instantly spread across the entire battlefield, making the crew aboard thousands of warships feel as if they had heard a thunderous rumble. Even though the crew on the War Steed had been thoroughly prepared, they were still shaken and thrown about by the blast. The recoil it generated pushed the entire War Steed back tens of meters.

Before Rune Battleships had truly become widespread, the Sky-piercing Cannon aboard the War Steed was always the Thunderhawk City Fleet’s most formidable main cannon. With a staggering power level of over 10,000 points, it had played a pivotal role in many critical battles.

But now, with the widespread use of Rune Battleships, the Sky-piercing Cannon’s impact was no longer as remarkable. Even the main cannon of the Martial God-class Escort Ship already surpassed 10,000 power points, reaching 15,000 points. The firepower of other Rune Battleships’ main cannons was even greater, putting the Sky-piercing Cannon at risk of obsolescence.

Fortunately, Orton and his team had performed a comprehensive upgrade of the cannon, particularly over the past two months. Following the installation of the Asura Cannon, Orton had applied the latest modifications to the Sky-piercing Cannon, elevating it to the same tier as the Asura Cannon.

It’s important to note that the Asura Cannon is a siege weapon capable of shattering Sky City’s Defensive Net within just tens of shots. If the Sky-piercing Cannon achieved such power, its impact on the battlefield would be self-evident.

And indeed, as the Sky-piercing Cannon roared, an enormous fireball hurtled straight toward the fleet commanded by Goodley, targeting the most densely packed area of warships. This scene mimicked one that had previously occurred in Eternal City. Against the incoming massive shell, while all warships along its path activated their Defensive Nets immediately, the nets were like paper before the colossal shell—easily torn apart. The shell continued its relentless path, obliterating countless warships along the way.

It was nearly impossible to estimate how many warships were destroyed in this shot. All one could say was that every ship along the straight line was gone—at least thirty to forty vessels!

The forces commanded by Goodley had never seen such devastation. It wasn’t just the ordinary crew members; even Goodley himself had never encountered a weapon of such ferocity. As they stood in stunned silence, the War Steed advanced rapidly, closing within a range of over a thousand meters, where all its secondary cannons opened fire simultaneously!

Firing secondary cannons at a distance of over a thousand meters was undoubtedly a testament to their modified range. Without such modifications, it would have been impossible to achieve such a feat. In fact, every secondary cannon aboard the War Steed had been runified into Magic Energy Cannons. Their range now matched traditional warships’ primary cannons, and their firepower was equally comparable. Each secondary cannon boasted a power level exceeding 5,000 points.

Under the aggressive barrage of these numerous secondary cannons, two battleships quickly succumbed. As their Defensive Nets shattered, they sank almost instantly.

However, the aggressive charge of the War Steed also resulted in it attracting an overwhelming amount of enemy firepower. Despite its possession of a Defense Barrier—a top-tier protective measure—Felly was forced to reduce its speed significantly, allowing the following fleet to catch up before pressing forward again.

After this, the main forces of both sides began a full-scale confrontation!

The Backhill Village forces, led by the War Steed, showed no intention of employing any flanking tactics. Given their numerical inferiority, maneuvering around their opponents was unrealistic. Thus, upon closing in, they charged head-on into the fray, engaging the enemy in the fiercest exchange of fire.

As for their tactics, Goodley had little room to maneuver and could only respond with direct confrontation. Leveraging his numerical superiority, he attempted to completely encircle the enemy.

In truth, Goodley could already see through Felly’s strategy. It seemed as though Felly intentionally sought such close-quarters combat. He had planned to rely on the superior individual capabilities of his warships to engage in this chaotic battle. Under Felly’s command, the entire fleet had the ferocity of a rampaging beast, throwing itself at the enemy with reckless abandon, forcing Goodley to play along with his tempo, whether or not he wished to.

“Then let’s see who can hold out until the end!”

Realizing Felly’s strategy, Goodley, despite his overwhelming numerical advantage, refused to retreat. He not only met the enemy head-on but also dispatched the Void Magic Corps!

Two hundred Void Magic Warriors flew out in formation from the warships, entering the battlefield.

Some might wonder why Goodley only deployed two hundred Void Magic Warriors—such a scale for the Void Magic Corps was hardly impressive. But this wasn’t Goodley holding back; with the battle already at this stage, there was no more reason for concealment. The simple truth was that he had no more forces to deploy. Rick had only provided him with two hundred Void Magic Warriors.

The strength of the Heavenly Ancestor Church was undoubtedly immense, but no matter how great an organization, it could not withstand endless attrition!

Consider all that the Heavenly Ancestor Church had endured over the past year. A year ago, they committed two Sky Cities in an attempt to surround Backhill Village, only for Rocky to completely annihilate both cities along with all their troops. This devastating loss had already severely weakened the Heavenly Ancestor Church.

Following that, Rick, in a bid for revenge, rallied not only his own forces but also ten additional Sky Cities to mount a united offensive against Backhill Village. Yet, by sheer misfortune, they encountered an attack by Demons. Under the fierce assault of the Demons, they suffered yet another heavy loss, forcing Rick into half a year of silence.

During those six months, while the Heavenly Ancestor Church’s forces gradually recovered, these recovery efforts paled compared to their prior incessant losses. Thus, even though Rick had deployed the Heaven’s Commencement and Heaven’s Grace Sky Cities along with considerable forces this time, he didn’t send many Void Magic Warriors. Warships are replaceable, but fallen Void Magic Warriors cannot be regenerated by simply acquiring a new set of armor. Cultivating a qualified Void Magic Warrior requires time, and with the Third Counter-Offensive War looming, Rick simply couldn’t afford the loss of his Void Magic Corps; otherwise, he’d be sidelined for the upcoming offensive!

This was precisely why Goodley had only sent out two hundred Void Magic Warriors—he simply couldn’t field more.

As soon as Felly realized the enemy had dispatched the Void Magic Corps, he immediately issued a command. His own Void Magic Corps, already primed aboard the floating mothership, took to the skies.

With both sides deploying their Void Magic Warriors, the battlefield reached peak chaos, and predicting the outcome became nearly impossible.
