Lord of the Sky City

The Imperial Knight Order, this was the first time Rocky had heard the name, which was not surprising since he did not know much about the Kafka Empire yet.

However, from what Westwood and the others said, it was clear that the Imperial Knight Order was also one of the most elite Void Magic Corps currently in existence, a formidable presence rivaling the revered Blue Crune. It was uncertain whether the Empire had deployed them this time.

Afterward, everyone excitedly chatted for a while before starting their individual preparations, the most important of which was to adjust their own Armors.

As the most elite Void Magic Squad of the entire Alliance Army, every member of the Fierce Tiger Squad was equipped with the most advanced Fifth Generation Special Armor, which was not only custom-made but also specially modified according to individual needs. Now, with battle imminent, tuning and inspecting the Armor became the essential preparation for everyone, including Rocky.

But unlike the others, when everyone else took out their Armor, Rocky left the tent since the White Demon Armor was not with him but instead was kept safe by Hammerfire.

"This guy must be off to check on the White Demon Armor, huh?"

After Rocky left the tent, everyone who was inspecting their Armor couldn't help but talk about it.

"Have you guys seen the White Demon Armor?"

"No, but I heard it's really powerful."

"Of course it's powerful. After all, it's equipped with the latest technology. Isn't Rocky relying on that technology to join the Alliance?"

"Not necessarily. I heard he shared a new type of Land Combat Armor with the Alliance, but I didn't see any new technologies on it. To me, the White Demon Armor might just be hyped up; it's probably nothing special in reality."

As Void Magic Warriors and the elite among elites, aces amongst the aces, the Fierce Tiger Squad members were all equally curious about the White Demon Armor, and it was precisely because of this that they had all heard of Rocky.

Regrettably, since there had been no battles in the past two weeks, no one had the chance to witness the true appearance of the White Demon Armor, and that's why they were so curious now.

Of course, as to whether the White Demon Armor was strong or weak, everyone had different opinions, some believing it to be as formidable as the rumors, while others were skeptical, suspecting it might be nothing more than bluster. After all, very few had actually seen the White Demon Armor, and ordinary people's standards of judgement were hardly convincing to the eyes of the Fierce Tiger Squad.

Amid the diverse opinions, Rocky had already met with Hammerfire.

"Kid, don't go thinking of yourself as some kind of hero."

When Rocky met Hammerfire, the Dwarf had clearly already heard about his upcoming deployment so he had the Armor ready. While Rocky was inspecting the Armor, the short-statured Dwarf sat beside him and said,

"Hmm?"

Hearing this remark, Rocky turned back, looking puzzled.

"Don't try to be a hero. If you can't beat them on the battlefield, just run, there's no shame in that. Dying here isn't worth it."

With a twinkle in his small eyes, Hammerfire continued.

"Master, I know what I'm doing, don't worry."

Smiling slightly, Rocky nodded at Hammerfire. He knew that Hammerfire was concerned about him and he was also very clear that he was no hero. Therefore, when necessary, he would certainly not care about saving face and would definitely run.

So after this, he didn't say much more and directly donned the Armor. Indeed, having not worn it for quite some time, he really needed to acclimatize himself to it.

Thus, the afternoon passed quickly, and once Rocky had finished adjusting his Armor he returned to the tent. Then everyone rested up, and by the time they awoke, it was already the following day.

Early the next morning, they packed up and followed the main force to the Skyport.

This time Wilton planned to launch a large-scale attack on the Imperial Army, deploying no fewer than fifty Void Magic Squads!

To know that after receiving support from the Alliance, Wilton only had a total of one hundred fifty Void Magic Squads. If you subtract the squads lost in previous battles, now there should only be around one hundred twenty to thirty left. Hence, fifty squads amounted to roughly half of the entire Alliance Army currently in the battle zone. Just this fact alone indicated the magnitude and ambition of the assault he was orchestrating.

Fifty Void Magic Squads, that is, five hundred Void Magic Warriors, and as one of these five hundred warriors, Rocky soon arrived at the Skyport with the main force and quickly boarded a transport vessel. After a half-day's journey, they arrived at Kunlun City.

Three major Sky Cities would be participating in this assault, all the troops gathering in these Sky Cities. Kunlun City was one of them; so when Rocky arrived at the city's Skyport, countless warships had already docked.

Because such a large number of troops were deployed this time, it took a whole day just to coordinate the movements between units. By evening everything was finally ready, and including Kunlun City, the three major Sky Cities activated their flight modes and set off towards the Imperial Army's airspace!

The night quickly passed by.

As the sun rose again, the three Sky Cities had moved beyond the Alliance Army frontline positions and arrived over the airspace of Tulip City.

At this point, although the Imperial Army held a slight advantage in the battle situation, it was still in a stalemate, with the conflict centered over the airspace of Tulip City, nearly every fight breaking out right here.

Also, this resulted in an unwritten norm that whoever occupied the airspace of Tulip City would have a complete advantage within the battle zone. This was the case when the Alliance Army faced off against the Rebel Army, and now that the opponent had become the Imperial Army, the situation remained the same.

Thus, the Tulip Battle Zone became the focal point of contention between the two sides. However, because of the equally balanced forces, aside from a larger skirmish when the Imperial Army first arrived, both armies had since proceeded with caution. Up until now, the airspace of Tulip City remained equally divided: the west belonged to the Alliance Army, and the east to the Imperial Army.

At this moment, when the three major Sky Cities reached this airspace, a grand yet fallen city slowly appeared below, the very Tulip City that had been conquered by the Demons earlier. Opposite the three Sky Cities was the Imperial Army!

The Alliance Army's offensive was tremendously powerful, yet the Imperial Army was also clearly well-prepared. So when the three Sky Cities reached the airspace above Tulip City, the Imperial Army had already dispatched troops in full readiness.

Two major Sky Cities, two medium-sized Sky Cities, four Sky Cities stood against the Alliance Army like a wall!!
