Lord of the Sky City

“Quick! Aim at everything outside the city walls!”

Seeing that Rocky’s fleet only lingered in the sky but did not launch an attack on the city walls, Nelson guessed his intent and understood that Rocky did not wish to destroy the walls of Backhill Village. Although this infuriated Nelson, as it seemed as though Backhill Village was already in Rocky’s pocket, it also presented him with a rare opportunity!

In Nelson’s view, as long as Rocky had reservations, his fleet was effectively decoration. If Rocky wanted to capture Backhill Village intact, he would have to rely on the ground forces, which played right into Nelson’s hands!

After all, the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild had fortified the walls of Backhill Village so robustly not just for show but to withstand Demons. It had been almost half a year since the Guild occupied Backhill Village, and during that time, they had relied on the thick walls to repel Demons time and again, solidly proving the defensive power of the walls.

In this situation, Nelson did not believe the troops several hundred meters away had the capacity to breach the walls. As long as the walls stayed intact, their chance would come, for Nelson had already made contact with the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce was to send reinforcements as soon as possible, and Nelson believed that their arrival would turn the tide.

Hence, as Monte and others were discussing their attack strategy, the soldiers of the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild stationed at Backhill Village were summoned to the city walls. They neatly organized into three rows on the walls, each soldier armed with a bow and arrows.

Apart from the Archers, all of the Magic Energy Cannons on the city walls were also activated. Nelson’s plan was simple: if the enemy troops dared to come close to the walls, the Magic Cannons and Archers would launch an attack together, annihilating the enemy on the spot!

“It seems they are planning to hold out to the last,”

Liliya said, putting down her binoculars on the deck of War Steed.

“He’s planning on waiting for reinforcements, stubbornly so.”

Every one of Nelson’s maneuvers was observed by Rocky from the sky, who simply scoffed coldly at such actions, hardly considering them significant.

Monte and his group, stationed a hundred meters away from Backhill Village, also noticed Nelson’s movements.

“A direct assault seems impossible. They have a substantial defensive force, and most importantly, there are Magic Cannons on the walls; our troop wouldn’t be able to break through,”

Monte muttered after observing the wall’s setup through a telescope.

“Captain, don’t forget they also have warships,”

“The warships needn’t worry us,” said Lin Feng, glancing at Robin who reminded Monte, and before Monte could explain, he added, “Our Fleet is in the air, they definitely wouldn’t dare to let their warships take off. If they dare to bring their warships into the air, our lord will surely sink them, so we need not fear the threat of their warships.”

“The real issue is how to breach the city walls.”

While speaking, Lin Feng glanced at Monte and saw that his brow was furrowed.

Rocky had said earlier that to preserve the sturdy walls of Backhill Village, he would not bombard them with the fleet, so how to infiltrate the village was left to the Guard Corps to figure out.

But now the Guard Corps faced a dilemma, as Monte said. With the threat of Archers and Magic Cannons, a direct assault was impossible. The enemy’s firepower was too fierce, and even if the Guard Corps were equipped with new gears and weapons, they could not withstand the bombardment and volley of Arrow Feathers and Magic Cannons. And if they couldn’t even approach the walls, how could they break through?

“Let Dusa and me do it,”

At that moment, Sandro spoke up, glancing at Dusa, then said to Monte, “Captain, Dusa and I can fly over and destroy the Magic Cannons on the walls. Then the troops can storm the walls.”

As a Void Magic Warrior, Sandro naturally wanted to use the advantages of Void Magic Warriors to aid the Guard Corps, and his idea was not without merit. As top-tier elite forces, Void Magic Warriors indeed had the capability to destroy the city’s Magic Cannons. Once the Magic Cannons were out of commission, the threat to the Guard Corps would be greatly reduced.

Consequently, after he finished speaking, Dusa nodded vehemently at his side, seemingly very much in agreement with the plan.

However, Monte simply waved his hand dismissively and then turned his gaze to Caryus and Raphael.

Although Monte had called Caryus and Raphael when summoning everyone for the meeting, the two of them remained silent throughout the discussion. This wasn’t surprising, after all, they were newly minted Void Magic Warriors, having been just ordinary Guards before. With neither the experience nor the abilities to match those of Monte and the others, neither of the men, both over thirty years old, attempted to show off at this time.

Looking at the two men, Monte asked, “Caryus, Raphael, what is the maximum range of the shoulder-fired Mana Cannons on the Tank Type 1 Armor?”

“Captain, the maximum range is 230 meters.”

Facing Monte’s question, the two men first looked startled but then simultaneously gave the answer.

Void Magic Warriors not only need to operate Armor, but they must also know their Armor inside out. Otherwise, how could they use Armor to fight?

So, even though Caryus and Raphael had become Void Magic Warriors just half a month ago, during that time they not only learned how to operate the Tank Type 1 Armor but also had committed all its parameters to memory. Hence, when faced with Monte’s question, they had no issues providing the answer.

“What about the range for mid-range burst beams?”

“110 meters.”

“Very good.”

Having received the answers, Monte nodded and then said, “The two of you will now use the Armor to start bombarding the village wall. Try not to hit the wall itself; aim for the Magic Cannons on the wall, and flatten all the Magic Cannons on the wall for me.”

“Yes, sir!”

After Monte issued the command, Caryus and Raphael first stood dumbfounded, unable to believe their ears. After snapping back to reality, they promptly saluted him military-style and then turned to run toward the two Tank Type 1 Armors parked behind the troop.

After a moment, both men had climbed into the cockpits, and the two Tank Type 1 Armors began to move, soon passing through the path that had been cleared by the main force and heading towards the walls of Backhill Village! Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

“Chief! Something is coming over here!”

As the two Tank Type 1 Armors slowly approached the walls of Backhill Village, everyone who had been ready and waiting on the wall saw them approaching, including Nelson and the officer beside him.

“What… what are those things?”

Looking at the approaching Tank Type 1 Armors, everyone on the wall, including Nelson, exchanged glances of confusion. None of them had ever seen Tank Type 1 Armors before and had no idea what they were.

“Never mind that, as soon as those things get close, bombard them with the Magic Cannon!”

After staring for a long time without understanding what the Tank Type 1 Armors were, Nelson decided not to delve further and simply ordered the officer beside him.

No sooner had he finished speaking, the officer beside him pointed outside the wall, “Sir, they’ve stopped!”

“They’ve stopped?”

Turning quickly to look, Nelson indeed saw, as the officer had said, that the two Tank Type 1 Armors had come to a halt.

“Fire the cannons already! Why aren’t you firing?”

Seeing the enemy stop outside the wall but the Magic Cannons on the wall showing no sign of firing, Nelson was very dissatisfied.

However, faced with his questioning, the officer beside him could only shake his head in frustration, “Sir, our Magic Cannons are short-range. They can’t reach that far…”
