Lord of the Sky City

The power of the Tank Type 1 Armor had clearly exceeded Nelson’s expectations, its ability to threaten the city walls from a hundred meters away caused considerable damage.

Although a few rounds of shelling had not caused much damage to the walls themselves, merely blowing off a few battlements, the number of soldiers injured by the explosion was not small. More importantly, with the continued shelling, three Magic Cannons had already been destroyed!

On the newly repaired walls of the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild, a total of twenty close-range Magic Cannons had been installed, each with a power around 800 points, serving as a critical weapon to fend off demon attacks, and simultaneously the strongest barrier to obstruct the Guard Corps’ advance.

Under such circumstances, Nelson naturally couldn’t let the Tank Type 1 Armor continue its bombardment. Although he wasn’t a formal general, he at least knew he shouldn’t just stand there taking hits, so he quickly dispatched Backhill Village’s only two Void Magic Warriors, planning to use their formidable strength to destroy the two Tank Type 1 Armors.

His response was obviously the right one, given the situation at the time, only the Void Magic Warriors had the capability to destroy the Tank Type 1 Armor, otherwise, he would have had to open the gates and send his troops to a sure defeat.

And when the two Void Magic Warriors rapidly closed in on the Tank Type 1 Armor and commenced their attack, Caryus and Raphael indeed quickly withdrew, clearly frightened.

Nelson breathed a sigh of relief at this sight, but then things took a one hundred and eighty degree turn!

Just as the two Void Magic Warriors were preparing to pursue the retreating Tank Type 1 Armors, four more Void Magic Warriors flew out from the direction of the Guard Corps and charged straight at them!

This led to the beginning of the battle between the Void Magic Warriors.

The two Void Magic Warriors of the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild were both wearing Fifth Generation Mass Production Type Armors. Unlike the soldiers stationed in Backhill Village, who were conscripted by the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild itself, these two were not from the Guild. They were akin to mercenaries, employed by the Guild from the Mercenary Guild.

Despite not being formal military, the two Void Magic Warriors were strong and experienced mercenaries. When they saw Monte, Lin Feng, Dusa, and Sandro rushing towards them, they chose not to engage and instead maneuvered dexterously in the air, trying to continue attacking the Tank Type 1 Armor.

Their plan was clear: destroy the Tank Type 1 Armor first, and then immediately retreat.

But how easy would it be to achieve this?

On one hand, there was Monte and his companions’ pursuit and interference in the air, and on the other, the defensive power of the Tank Type 1 Armor greatly surpassed their expectations. No matter how they attacked with their long-range weapons, they were easily deflected by the Defensive Net deployed by the Tank Type 1 Armor.

In this situation, the two Void Magic Warriors did not linger long, and quickly shamefully fled back to Backhill Village.

Once the Void Magic Warriors had gone, all threats from the Tank Type 1 Armor were thoroughly eradicated.

Nelson had only two ways to threaten the Tank Type 1 Armor. The first was with his Fleet—if the fleet took to the air, then with the bombings from the Escort Ships, the Tank Type 1 Armor would inevitably be destroyed; but if he dared let his own fleet take to the air, then Rocky, who was lurking in the skies just outside the city walls, would sink all the airborne warships in an instant. The second way was to deploy Void Magic Warriors, but as seen, with Monte and his companions’ protection, along with the Tank Type 1 Armor’s own defensive power, it was impossible to destroy the Tank Type 1 Armor with just two Void Magic Warriors.

As such, once the two Void Magic Warriors withdrew, Caryus and Raphael once again steered the Tank Type 1 Armor towards the walls, and then, just like before, continued with the distant shelling.

“Not bad, it seems they’ve found a way.”

At the bow of the War Steed, Rocky and Liliya were watching the battle below. Since the fleet led by the War Steed was not too high above the ground, only a few dozen meters, they could clearly see everything happening below.

When Rocky saw Monte and Lin Feng send out the Tank Type 1 for long-range strikes, he knew the two had found the trick, and when he saw the enemy deploy Void Magic Warriors and then retreat after being repelled, he knew he had already won this battle.

As long as they had the Tank Type 1, the magic cannons on the walls were not a problem, and would eventually be blown to pieces one by one. Once there were no more magic cannons to rely on, the tall walls would be just walls. Even if they were filled with archers, they wouldn’t be able to stop the advance of the Guard Corps equipped with magic energy equipment. And let’s not forget that after nearing the walls, the magic energy bullets from the Tank Type 1 could also sweep across them. By then, with the support of his own archers and mages from a distance, the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild simply wouldn’t be able to withstand the walls.

Rocky had said before that it seemed somewhat difficult to recapture Backhill Village without destroying the walls, but in reality, it was not difficult at all. The reason lay in the two Tank Type 1 Armors he had. With these two armors, no matter what the enemy did, they were sure to win!

The actual development of the battle also turned out to be very much as Rocky had imagined. Though there were only two Tank Type 1s, which made the firepower somewhat sparse, after more than half an hour of bombardment, the magic cannons on the walls were ultimately all destroyed.

It was precisely when the magic cannons had been completely destroyed that Monte led the awaiting Guard Corps to advance on Backhill Village!

Over two hundred soldiers in brand-new magic energy equipment formed a formation of fifty men per row, four rows in total, and began heading towards the walls, with the archer and mage troops behind this formation.

“Hurry! Get everyone ready!”

“No one is allowed to retreat! The Chamber of Commerce feeds you for battle! Whoever dares to desert will be killed by me!”

Atop the walls, Nelson shouted loudly, urging them on, and once again had to order the archers to the top of the walls.

With the artillery all destroyed and the warship unable to take off, the archers were the only force in Nelson’s hands capable of stopping the Guard Corps. Even knowing that sending the archer troops to the walls was dangerous, Nelson had no choice but to do so.

Under his command and urging, the archers, who had just recently retreated from the walls, once again climbed up, and though each looked somewhat grim and even fearful, they still took their places as ordered by Nelson.

However, just as the archer troops had just reached the walls and hadn’t even had the time to get into formation, Caryus and Raphael, driving the Tank Type 1s, opened fire again!

But this time, their target wasn’t the archers on the wall tops but the gate of the city walls!

The two Tank Type 1 Armors fired in unison, and after several shots, the sturdy and thick gate of the walls was blown open, creating a path for the Guard Corps to the village.

At the same time, the square formation of the Guard Corps had already pressed forward!
