LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 588: Chapter 551: Hundreds and Thousands! Chapter 588: Chapter 551: Hundreds and Thousands! As the sound of cannons and explosions ceased, the guards, already arranged in formations, immediately looked towards the smoky ruins, especially the new soldiers.

In the sight of these new soldiers, the ruins were clouded with lingering smoke, and within the smoke, one could clearly see numerous demon corpses!

After the bombing had subsided, the demons that were bombed were either crushed under piles of rubble or had become dismembered and thoroughly blown apart, creating an extremely gruesome scene, resembling Hell itself.

And although such a sight was bloody, it brought smiles to the faces of many new soldiers!

Had they won?

Had they already won?

Looking towards the heaps of demon corpses in the smoke, the first reaction of many new soldiers was that they had won, since the demons had been bombed to death!

However, just as some people were beginning to entertain this thought, Monte suddenly shouted out!

“Everyone! Prepare for battle!”

Monte’s shout instantly snapped everyone back to reality, especially those new soldiers who had thought the demons were wiped out. They were initially stunned, but then they all felt the ground suddenly trembling beneath their feet!

All of a sudden, everyone felt a strong vibration from the ground, which startled many, and at that very moment, everyone heard a sound.

A roar.

The roar of demons.

As the ground began to tremble, the sound of demons roaring emerged, and following the direction of the sound, through wafts of smoke, everyone could vaguely see a mass of figures furiously rushing through the smoke, swiftly approaching the Guard Corps!

Demons!

Countless demons!

When the guards saw this mass of figures through the smoke, in just a brief moment, these figures revealed their true forms – numerous Black-eyed Demons and Bull-horned Demons!

All the demons were bombed to death?

Impossible! Demons can never be completely eradicated!

The demons that had been bombed previously were merely the first batch lured by the Fleet, but as soon as this batch was bombed, more demons in the ruins were stirred, and in an instant, hundreds of demons surged towards the direction of the research institute like a tide.

Hundreds of demons…

This scene, not only had the new soldiers never seen such a thing, but even the veteran soldiers had not witnessed it!

Therefore, when the demons appeared before them, every soldier clenched their long swords and shields. Despite this, they still felt their hands trembling uncontrollably, even when they tried to control it.

But just as everyone was petrified by the tide of demons approaching, a massive cannonade burst forth once again!

“Fire the cannons!”

As a large number of demons emerged and surged towards the institute, Karina, stationed with the Fleet, issued the fire command once again, and the recently ceased cannon sounds boomed anew.

However, this time, when the sounds of cannon fire and explosions rang out one after another, the demons’ advance was not halted. When the number of demons reached a certain limit, the bombardment proved ineffective.

The bombardment from the Fleet was just as intense as before, even denser than the previous one. All of the warship’s secondary cannons fired, and even the main cannon aimed at the ground as much as possible. Each main cannon blast created a huge crater on the ground, killing dozens and sometimes even tens of demons effortlessly.

But even then, the demons eventually broke through the bombardment net.

One, two, ten, dozens, hundreds! Despite the Fleet’s intense bombardment killing countless demons, as many were torn apart or killed, hundreds of demons rushed through the smoke towards the Guard Corps in an instant.

The impact of such a scene on the new recruits was unimaginable, as they had never seen what demons look like when driven mad. Because of this, the morale of the recruits plummeted instantly, many of whom were terrified to the point of their legs giving out. If it wasn’t for the armor they wore, some of the trembly-leg recruits would have probably been sitting on the ground already.

However, just at that moment, when many were scared out of their wits by the sight before them, Rocky appeared above the Guard Corps, accompanied by Robin’s Void Magic Squad!

Perhaps having witnessed many grand scenes, when Rocky appeared above the Guard Corps and looked at the approaching demons, he was almost unperturbed.

Also, as the backbone of the Guard Corps, his appearance immediately stabilized everyone’s emotions—it couldn’t be helped, Rocky held too high a status in the Guard Corps. Every member of the Guard, old or new, saw him as a hero, especially those new recruits whose legs had just given out.

The new recruits had heard about Rocky’s heroic deeds more than once from the veterans. Almost every veteran had told them that Rocky would lead the Guard Corps to victory in every battle. Under such influence, the mere sight of Rocky immediately made them noticeably calmer.

Of course, Rocky didn’t let these new recruits down. He glanced at the onrushing demons, then issued a command through the communicator to Robin’s Squad, “Everyone, follow my lead and charge!”

After those words, he instantly accelerated, being the first to rush toward the demons. Robin’s squad then followed closely behind, charging towards the demons in his wake!

In the blink of an eye, Rocky reached near the demons. During this process, he gradually lowered his altitude, descending from mid-air to ground level, almost flying close to the ground. After this, he shouted through the communicator, “Everyone, take off!”

“Yes!”

Upon hearing his voice, Robin, who had also lowered his altitude, immediately led the team to leap up and return to mid-air. It was at the exact moment they ascended that Rocky, approaching the demons, grabbed the Magic Fang Scythe and instantaneously charged it with mana, followed by a sweeping strike!

Whoosh—along with Rocky’s sweeping strike, the mana-charged scythe created a halo around him, its diameter exceeding ten meters, much like a gigantic full moon. All demons caught by the halo were bisected at the waist, instantly killing dozens!

This was why he had Robin lead the team to ascend—the strike’s range was too extensive. Any accidental inclusion of teammates behind him would be troublesome, as the Fifth Generation Mass-Produced Armor had no capability to withstand an attack from the Magic Fang Scythe.

A moment after that strike, Rocky sped up again, diving head-first into a throng of demons. Meanwhile, Robin and the others dispersed themselves, swooping down closer to the demons!
