LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 597: Chapter 560: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada Chapter 597: Chapter 560: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada As the Moving Fortress began to move, all the Demons in its path were ground into a bloody pulp!

The agile Black-eyed Demons tried to climb up the side of the fortress, and indeed they managed to do so, but let’s not forget that the fortress was made of steel and iron, indestructible to its core. Even if the Black-eyed Demons climbed up, their claws had no effect on the thick steel plates, and because it was made of steel, it was hard for the Black-eyed Demons to find a hold, causing them to fall as they couldn’t climb high.

The imposing Bull-horned Demons lost their temper in front of the fortress, their strong bodies might overturn Tank Armor, but they couldn’t shake the fortress at all. All the Bull-horned Demons blocking the fortress’s path were mercilessly crushed into bloody mush!

It was like trying to stop a car with one’s arm!

In the face of the advancing fortress, any attempts by the Demons to stop it were futile, a mere act of trying to stop a car with one’s arm. There was no second outcome other than being crushed!

After that, the Moving Fortress continued its way beyond the ruins, leaving behind a long trail of blood, countless Demons crushed into bloody mush, their flesh and blood painting a red carpet upon the ruins!

In the sky above, Rocky watched this scene, growing more and more fond and pleased, and at the same time, more and more incredulous.

Although he had read about the Moving Fortress in the diary he had found and the last words of the head of the research institute, both sources insisted that once the fortress was launched, it would have an unmatched effect in the battle against Demons. Yet, Rocky didn’t believe such talk, because humanity had been battling Demons for a century, inventing countless weapons, but he had never seen any that could be described as unmatched.

However, when he truly witnessed the Moving Fortress and saw the astonishing scene of the fortress crushing the Demons along its path, he had to admit that, at least against these Normal Demons, the Moving Fortress was indeed peerless!

This forced him to admire the researchers who had come up with this plan, they were truly ingenious.

Fortresses were a common sight, especially in the Land Era, but everyone knew that fortresses couldn’t stop Demons because even fortresses armed to the teeth would eventually be worn down and fall to the endless swarm of Demons surrounding them.

However, a fortress with the capability to move was a completely different story!

For instance, if the fortress at this moment couldn’t move, then even if it bristled with cannons and was made of steel, it would eventually be overwhelmed by the endless Demons in the ruins. But that was impossible, because this fortress could move!

As the fortress continued moving towards the outskirts of the ruins, the surrounding Demons couldn’t encircle it. Instead, the Demons in its way were crushed into pulp, and as long as the Demons couldn’t completely surround it, they posed no threat at all. Moreover, Karina’s Fleet was in the air!

So after watching from above for a while and seeing the Moving Fortress nearing the outskirts of the ruins, Rocky contacted Karina. She immediately ordered the Fleet to follow the fortress and began bombing the Demons around it.

Rocky also commanded the other Void Magic Warriors by his side to provide support. After all, this was a fortress built a hundred years ago, and while it was made of steel, what if there were some weak spots? It was better to be cautious.

And after arranging everything, he and Karina flew toward the fortress together.

They quickly reached the top of the fortress, and before they could land, they saw a door on the uppermost level of the fortress open, and then they flew inside.

Upon entering the fortress, Rocky’s first sight was of Monte, and he quickly asked, “Where’s the Guard Corps?”

“Sir, they’re all inside the fortress, rest assured,” Monte assured him.

Though his body was covered in bloodstains left after the battle, a smile blossomed across Monte’s face, clearly overjoyed by his first experience riding in the Moving Fortress.

Afterward, the two went to meet with Orton under Monte’s lead.

Contrary to expectation, despite the Moving Fortress’s immense size, the space inside was quite cramped, with corridors leading to each level being the only places one could move about, and the control room was situated in the middle level.

“Everyone focus, remember what I just taught you, and don’t mind anything else.”

Upon entering the control room, right as they stepped in, Rocky and Karina heard Orton’s voice and looked around to find several people including Caryus and Raphael, each nervously seated at their own control console, following Orton’s commands.

Orton stood in the very center of the control room, clearly leading the operation, and in front of him was a huge window that allowed him to see the conditions outside the fortress.

Seeing this, Rocky and Karina immediately understood why it took so long for the Moving Fortress to emerge from the ground.

Obviously, this behemoth couldn’t be operated by just one or two people; it required many operators working together, and the earlier delays were most likely due to this.

Indeed, the reason Orton hadn’t driven the fortress out earlier was because he had to teach others to coordinate with him in piloting the massive vehicle, which was quite the task. Thankfully, among those who had retreated underground were Caryus and Raphael, both of whom had experience driving Tank Armor. Their experience greatly assisted Orton, or else the Moving Fortress wouldn’t have possibly been able to move out so swiftly.

Seeing Rocky and Karina arrive, Orton gave them a glance and his face revealed his usual smile, “How about that, this big guy isn’t too bad, right?”

“It’s absolutely fantastic!”

Rocky quickly walked up to the large window of the cockpit, looking out at everything, he couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. This thing was incredibly satisfying to him, and although Karina didn’t speak, from her expression it was clear she was quite pleased with the Moving Fortress as well.

However, while the two were all smiles, Orton interjected, “Kiddos, now’s not the time to be happy.”

“What’s wrong?”

Hearing this, Rocky and Karina hastily turned towards Orton, who then said, “In a rush for time, I didn’t fully charge the Moving Fortress, so this big guy can only make it to the outskirts of the ruins before it stops moving. You all should think about how to get this big guy going afterward.”
