Lord of the Sky City

Kyle's idea was simple, he planned to charge ahead with the Fierce Tiger Squad and completely break through the Imperial Army's Void Magic Corps, then go straight for the Armored Ship Troops.

The idea seemed somewhat reckless but was actually quite correct.

Because Kyle and the Fierce Tiger Squad he led were, after all, just a squad, and on such a level of the battlefield, there weren't many tactics available for them to choose from.

At the same time, once he really achieved this, the Alliance Army would immediately establish a tremendous advantage.

First of all, it was about striking the Armored Ship Troops.

Perhaps some would think it impossible, that a mere Void Magic Squad, even if placed within the Imperial Heavy Armored Ship Troops, could do anything? The Imperial Army had deployed a whole four hundred of those Heavy Armored Ships this time!

Indeed, if it were an ordinary Void Magic Squad, even if they infiltrated the Heavy Armored ships' phalanx, the threat they could pose would be very limited. After all, it was only a squad; even if they destroyed one or two warships, the impact on the overall battle situation would not be significant.

However, the situation was different with the Fierce Tiger Squad.

The combative strength of this squad was so great that it could not be measured by ordinary standards. So despite also having only ten people, to say that each of them possessed the fighting power equivalent to an entire squad was by no means an exaggeration. Once they got close to the phalanx, each had the ability to sink a Heavy Armored Ship within minutes. If given enough time, even just a few minutes, the Armored Ship Troops would be severely damaged!

Secondly, precisely because the Fierce Tiger Squad posed such a great threat, as long as they got close to the enemy's phalanx, the Imperial Army's Void Magic Corps would inevitably be drawn in. This would then give the Alliance Army's Void Magic Corps a greater advantage, and wouldn't their chances of winning be higher? And once victory over the Void Magic Corps was achieved, couldn't the main forces of the Alliance Army confront the Heavy Armored Ships directly?

This was the chain reaction that a Void Magic Squad could cause!

It was precisely because he was very clear about the kind of chain reaction the squad would cause after getting close to the Heavy Armored Ships that Kyle seemed to be charging forward recklessly. In fact, his actions were not born of a spur-of-the-moment decision; they had a clear purpose.

And in fact, after such a prolonged assault, Kyle had almost led the squad through the Imperial Army's Void Magic Corps' defense line!

Yes, after a series of battles and advances, the Fierce Tiger Squad had almost penetrated the entire defense line of the Imperial Army's Void Magic Squad and seemed on the verge of breaking through the encirclement!

But it was at this moment that they were still stopped...

Seeing that they were about to break through the encirclement, the Imperial Army's Void Magic Warriors immediately stopped minding the battle in front and swarmed over, surrounding Kyle and his comrades inside and out, making it impossible for the whole squad to move an inch.

In such a situation, the squad practically came to a halt, and the number of surrounding enemies only increased, immediately making Kyle, as the leader, feel the danger!

"Clara, Westwood, you two stay and cover our retreat, everyone else follow me and push forward!"

Realizing that there were too many enemies around, Kyle knew they couldn't continue like this any longer; otherwise, it would be a waste of time. The squad's sole objective was the Heavy Armored Ships, and staying here to kill more enemies was pointless, so he immediately adjusted the strategy. He had Clara and Westwood stay to cover the rear while the others focused all their energy on breaking through the last of the encirclement!

"Yes!"

"Leave it to us, Captain!"

Upon hearing Kyle's command, Clara and Westwood, who were originally engaged with the enemy, simultaneously took to the air and instantly flew above the squad.

As previously mentioned, every member of the Fierce Tiger Squad was equipped with the Fifth Generation Special Armor, all of which were modified to be far stronger in combat than the standard Fifth Generation Special Armor.

Among these, the Armor that Westwood was equipped with, was the only Heavy Battle Armor in the squad.

The so-called Heavy Battle Armor was characterized by its potent long-range firepower and strong defensive power. This type of Armor typically had extremely thick plating and was fitted with various weapons all over, weak in melee combat but exceptionally formidable in ranged firepower.

Moreover, Westwood's Armor wasn't just any Heavy Battle Armor, but had also undergone special modifications. The most apparent change was the complete abandonment of its melee capabilities, instead, it was retrofitted with two Magic Energy Cannon barrels on its arms to be able to fire powerful Magic Energy Bullets at any time and place.

Therefore, as Westwood ascended, he engaged full barrage mode, opening up the chest, shoulders, and arms of his Armor to reveal the plethora of hidden weapons.

In the blink of an eye, he unleashed countless rounds of fire; Magic Energy Bullets, Magic Energy Cannons, Magic Energy Beams, and various bombs hidden within the Armor were all fired at once!

In an instant, fire rained down, covering the small battlefield below. Both the Fierce Tiger Squad, who were currently engaged in combat, and the Imperial Army's Void Magic Warriors were enveloped in his firepower.

Yet, don't forget, the entire Fierce Tiger Squad was clad in Fifth Generation Special Armor, and they all knew what Westwood was planning. As soon as Westwood leapt high, they had deployed their Defensive Net, thus blocking all incoming attacks.

In contrast, the Imperial Army's Void Magic Warriors weren't so fortunate. Faced with the sudden barrage, only a few reacted quickly enough to deploy their Defensive Nets. The vast majority couldn't respond in time and were directly hit by the fire, either killed or knocked out of the sky, causing massive casualties in an instant.

And when the smoke from the artillery eventually began to clear, if one looked towards Kyle and the others, they would find they had long since vanished...!

By the time Westwood used his indiscriminate attack to clear the battlefield, Kyle and his comrades had already broken through the last defense line with the cover of the artillery smoke and were heading unobstructed towards the Imperial Heavy Armored Ship formation!

Realizing that Kyle and the others were no longer visible amidst the lingering smoke, the Imperial Army's response was rapid, with several squads instantly changing direction to pursue them.

But at that moment, Clara, who was also in the high altitude alongside Westwood, suddenly dived down. Following swiftly, she flicked her Mana Whip, and with a snap, a streak over ten meters long was whipped out, blocking the pursuit of the Void Magic Squad that was chasing Kyle and the others!

Like Westwood's, Clara's Armor had also undergone modifications. Originally, her Armor was named Combat Dancer, a model specially crafted for female warriors of the Fifth Generation Special Armor, outstanding in both speed and agility. After Westwood's modifications, the Combat Dancer Armor retained its speed and maneuverability but had its offensive power greatly enhanced, particularly its weapon, the whip she was now wielding.

Initially, the Combat Dancer's weapon was a physical whip, over two meters long, but Clara had modified it. The solid whip was replaced with the current Mana Whip. With the powerful support of the Fifth Generation Special Armor's Mana, the Mana Whip was immensely potent and could extend over ten meters, creating an area of lethal effect when swung around.

At that moment, Clara was doing just that, having extended the Mana Whip to its maximum length. In her wild swings, none of the surrounding enemies could get close to her, and the squad pursuing Kyle and the others was thus stopped in their tracks!
