LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 587: Chapter 550: In Full Swing Chapter 587: Chapter 550: In Full Swing As Robin led the team to destroy the defensive magic array, Karina also had the Fleet surround the institute in the air, with all the cannon muzzles aiming at the ground, more specifically at the demons surging towards them.

At this time, the demons attracted by the Fleet had already started to approach the institute from all directions.

“Fire!”

As the demons drew closer to the institute, Karina, positioned at the flagship’s bow, waved her hand and issued the command to fire!

At her command, a deafening roar of cannon fire erupted. The numerous muzzles, already aimed at the enemy, burst into flames at that moment, and countless Mana Cannonballs were fired and hit the ground in the blink of an eye, setting off a series of explosions among the ruins.

Under the fierce bombardment of numerous Magic Cannons, the ruins around the institute instantly blossomed with explosions, not only sending countless fragments of rock flying into the air but also the first wave of demons that had approached the institute.

The first batch of demons approaching the institute were almost all spared no mercy under the bombardment; those lucky enough were blown into the air by the explosions, while the less fortunate were struck directly by the Mana Cannonballs and were instantly blasted to pieces.

Afterward, the range of the explosions began to expand outward, clearly targeting the demons that were still attempting to approach the institute.

Meanwhile, as the Fleet began its bombardment, Robin’s Void Magic Squad reappeared in mid-air. Seeing them, Rocky immediately ordered the War Steed and the Hunter to descend, quickly landing on the ground.

“Everyone off the ship! Quick, quick, quick!”

As the two warships landed, Monte and Lin Feng immediately jumped down from the decks of the War Steed and the Hunter and then directed the Guard Corps to quickly disembark.

Since they were well-prepared, the Guard Corps disembarked very quickly, and despite the surrounding gunfire and smoke, their performance was orderly and not at all chaotic.

“Everyone, form up immediately!”

“Chu Dong! Lead the Archer Troops to the institute!”

When all the Guard Corps had landed, Monte immediately took command.

The Guard Corps had very limited time to adjust now because, although the air Fleet was carrying out the bombardment and indeed blocking the demons’ advance, this was only temporary. The reason they could block the demons was simply that there were not enough demons yet.

Don’t forget, most of the demons lurking in these ruins were Black-eyed Demons. These demons had poor eyesight but excellent hearing. Therefore, although the bombardment temporarily halted the demons’ offensive, it wouldn’t be long before all the demons in the city were drawn here, so the Guard Corps had to be ready before that happened!

Under Monte’s command, all the infantry warriors immediately formed a square formation, while the Archer Troops entered the inside of the institute and quickly occupied advantageous terrain on the second floor, third floor, and rooftops.

Actually, not only did the Guard Corps have limited time, but everyone did as well. They could only make all arrangements in this brief time; otherwise, it would be too late when a large number of demons appeared.

So as Monte directed the Guard Corps to their positions, the War Steed and the Hunter had already risen back into the air, making space for the transport troop filled with Magic Stones to land.

As the transport troop slowly landed, the workers on the ship immediately began to transport the cargo downwards, two people carrying a large box filled with Medium Magic Stones, continuously moving them into the institute.

On the other side, while Monte was directing the Guard Corps to form up, and the transport troops began to unload the Magic Stones from the ship, Rocky led one Void Magic Squad from Thunderhawk City and four from Rose City, totaling five squads, appearing mid-air.

“Dadu, you lead the squad to protect the transport ships, don’t let the Demons get close,”

“Yes!”

Responding with a single cry, the squad leader under Karina, Dadu, led his team towards the transport ships.

“Dian, Dolly, Mark, the three of you are responsible for protecting the research facility. We are short on manpower, so we can only focus on defending the front. Try not to let the Demons break in from other directions,”

Since the research facility was the only building still standing among the ruins, more Demons would definitely surge from all around. In such a situation, Rocky had insufficient manpower to encircle the entire facility. All he could do was have his troops hold the front, allowing the transport ships to smoothly move all the Magic Stones underground was already the limit.

That’s why he had deployed the other three squads, tasking these three Void Magic Squads with defending the research facility from other directions. He didn’t expect them to stop the Demons, only to prevent them from demolishing the facility.

“Yes!”

After responding, the three squad leaders immediately turned and led their members towards different directions.

After they had all departed, Rocky then looked towards Robin.

“Robin, you lead the squad and follow me into the frontline battle,”

Clearly, Rocky reserved the most dangerous task of the battle for his own troops, not because of his selflessness, but for a reason.

Firstly, because the other four squads consisted of Karina’s people, Rocky was unfamiliar with their capabilities and completely lacked coordination. Furthermore, since they were not his own men, commanding them felt uncomfortable.

Secondly, among the five squads, only Robin’s squad was the best equipped, all members were fitted with fifth-generation Armor, so it made sense to have them at the front line of the battle.

“Yes!”

Having heard Rocky’s order, Robin and the others, hovering mid-air, immediately responded, showing no signs of fear, even appearing quite excited.

This was not strange, because to these men, Rocky was their hero. Previously just ordinary members of the Guard Corps, they had witnessed Rocky’s elegance on the battlefield more than once. So now, having the chance to fight alongside him excited everyone greatly, nearly feeling as if they were finally sharing the stage with their idol.

However, just at that moment, when Rocky was preparing to lead his squad to join up with the Guard Corps, he realized that the deafening sounds of gunfire and explosions had already stopped…

Until just now, even though he, the Guard Corps, and the transport troops had been busily engaged, the fleet in the sky had been bombing continuously; but now, the bombing had suddenly ceased.

Had there been some accident?

Of course not, the only reason for the cessation of the gunfire was that all the Demons charging towards the mansion had been killed!
