Lord of the Sky City

Watching Rocky use a smoke grenade to hide himself, the sniper, who had been ready to strike, sneered. To him, such a reaction was decent, but the tactic was too elementary, because what he was wearing wasn't mass-produced armor---it was the Fifth Generation Special Armor, and all Special Armors of the Fifth Generation came equipped with magic energy detectors!

So he immediately activated the magic energy detector and looked toward the smoke.

However, he didn't see Rocky's figure!

As the magic energy detector was turned on, everything before the sniper's eyes changed. The smoke that had enveloped Rocky had disappeared, and the surrounding Void Magic Warriors turned into jumping red dots, but among those red dots, especially within the smoke, there was no Rocky!

How was that possible?!

Seeing no strong magic energy reaction before him, the sniper was momentarily stunned. In his mind, it was simply impossible that the White Demon Armor—of such a high caliber—whose contained mana couldn't possibly go undetected by the magic energy detector!

Oh no!

After a moment of shock, the sniper immediately realized what was happening and cursed inwardly.

It's the blocking coating!

Realizing that Rocky had disappeared in front of the magic energy detector, the sniper quickly understood that the White Demon Armor must have been coated with an invisibility coating!

The so-called invisibility coating was a special layer added to the outer surface of the armor. Its only function was to block the magic energy detector, making any armor with this coating invisible to it, as the detector couldn't sense the armor's magic energy signature!

Realizing this, the sniper immediately shut down the magic energy detector, and when his vision returned to normal, he saw the White Demon Armor already charging at him, with the Magic Fang Scythe raised in hand!

With one smooth motion, Rocky didn't hesitate to bring the scythe down. The sharp blade sliced along the sniper's head and within the blink of an eye, cleaved him in two!

In that instant, as the cold flash crossed, Rocky and the sniper were as if frozen in midair. This still image resumed motion after a few breaths, and then the sniper burst apart like an explosion; his body split in two, blood spraying out in a mist, and his remains, together with the shattered armor, fell through the blood cloud.

Watching the sniper fall with his own eyes, Rocky immediately changed direction, paying no heed to the surrounding combat, and headed straight toward Clara and Westwood.

Although his engagement with the sniper was brief and there weren't many exchanges, Rocky had already deeply felt the strength of the Imperial Knight Order. The battle before was a one-on-one duel with an enemy! Remember, during the duel, the sniper barely had any melee capabilities, the White Demon Armor excelled in mobility and speed and was superior to the enemy in almost every aspect, but it still took him an enormous effort to defeat his foe. Just imagine, what if the battle hadn't been a duel, but instead, there were others assisting the sniper? What would the result have been?

If that had been the case, Rocky couldn't even guarantee his own victory!

This couldn't help but make him worry about Clara and Westwood's situation.

Although there were two of them, their condition was very poor. Even in a two-against-one, they might not stand a chance against the Black Armored Warrior. He needed to go assist them right away.

So after that, Rocky accelerated at full power and flew back to his previous position within a few minutes, then he let out a sigh of relief.

When Rocky saw Clara and Westwood, he found them battling with the surrounding ordinary Void Magic Warriors, with no sign of the Black Armored Warriors from before.

Had they been killed?

Or had they been defeated?

Neither, the Black Armored Warriors had fled.

Although Rocky had hastened to join Clara and Westwood immediately after killing the Sniper, at the very moment the Sniper was killed, the Black Armored Warrior knew what had happened, so he immediately disengaged from the battle.

His choice was undoubtedly the right one, because although Clara and Westwood weren't in good shape, they were nonetheless members of the Blue Crune, not the kind of characters one could easily defeat, even if they were not at their best. If Rocky were to join them, the Black Armored Warrior was sure he would be slain, so he made a decisive decision to flee, heading for the Armored Ship Troops that weren't far off.

"Rocky, don't worry about us,"

Clara, who was fighting other enemies, immediately said to Rocky when she saw him arrive, "Go support the captain!"

There was no need for further explanation; the moment the Black Armored Warrior fled, Clara and Westwood knew Rocky had been successful, for otherwise the enemy would not have retreated in such a hurry.

Once the Black Armored Warrior had gone, Clara and Westwood were essentially no longer in danger. Despite facing so many enemies at the moment, their ability to defend themselves was still there. The priority wasn't about them but about reaching the Armored Ship Troops ahead of the Fierce Tiger Squad to launch an attack.

Since the Imperial Knight Order had already been deployed, Kyle and his team's hopes of threatening the Armored Ship Troops on their own were dashed. Both the Blue Crune and the Imperial Knight Order were among the finest Void Magic Corps, thus Kyle and his team would not be able to wreak havoc unimpeded by the Knight Order.

Therefore, Rocky's foremost mission now was to reinforce the squad, as his addition in the midst of evenly matched forces could prove critical in determining the victor!

"Alright!"

Hearing this, Rocky didn't hesitate, agreed with a shout, and immediately flew towards the distant fleet!

In fact, Rocky was even more anxious than Clara because, given the previous situation, the Imperial Knight Order's style was extremely ruthless, even to the point of being unscrupulous. The enemy might very well be planning to ambush Kyle and the others just as they had Clara and Westwood. If that were the case, the other members of the Fierce Tiger Squad were in danger; after all, they were up against the Imperial Knight Order!

In such a situation, he unhesitatingly sped up and flew toward the Armored Ship Troops that were now not far away.

And at this time, as Rocky and the others fought with all their might, the entire battlefield, in fact, was ablaze with intense fighting.

As the respective Void Magic Squads began to engage and clash violently, their main forces were also exchanging heavy fire. Indeed, during this process, the Imperial Army's heavy armored fleet formation was still advancing at the highest speed towards the Alliance Army, and under Wilton's command, the Alliance Army was making continuous formation changes. Therefore, the battlefield had long since changed from its initial state.
