Lord of the Sky City - Chapter 190 189 Breakout!

She made a move to intercept Kilov and raised her left hand towards him…

Oh no!

Realizing Liliya was aiming her arm at him, Kilov was instantly horrified and dodged without a second thought, completely forgetting about Rocky.

When he had hastily retreated several dozen meters, he realized Liliya hadn’t actually done anything to him; she was merely feinting.

I’ve been tricked!

Upon realizing he’d been duped, Kilov quickly looked towards Rocky and noticed that the Thunderhawk had already moved away…

“Damn it!”

As he watched the Thunderhawk slowly get away, Kilov was not willing to let it go but he didn’t have a way to pursue. He and Liliya had clashed before, and he was well aware of her tactics. Therefore, when he saw Liliya aiming her hand at him, he had to dodge even though he knew she was just trying to scare him; it was her most lethal move, capable of killing him in one strike!

So after cursing reluctantly, Kilov once again faced Liliya. As Rocky led the Thunderhawk into the fray, the situation began to tilt against the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group. Kilov had to keep Liliya occupied and prevent her from joining the battle as well.

Some might wonder, in such a large-scale aerial battle with nearly a hundred ships from both fleets combined, could the involvement of just Rocky, Liliya, and the Thunderhawk influence the outcome of the battle?

Indeed, it could.

When the forces were evenly matched, any small addition of external force could break the balance and influence the outcome of the great battle, even if that force was just two people and a single ship. This demonstrates the last-straw principle.

“Full speed ahead!”

Having moved away from the group of Void Magic Warriors, Rocky ordered the Thunderhawk to charge at full speed into the battlefield!

Under his command, the Thunderhawk charged like a ferocious tiger straight towards the heart of the battle.

However, as soon as the Thunderhawk violently entered the fray, the fleet of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group also immediately reacted. Numerous reconnaissance ships began to surround it.

In the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group, there were many commanders with extensive experience. Noticing the flagship joining the battle, they immediately realized the severity of the situation and quickly responded.

To the Thunderhawk, the threat posed by reconnaissance ships was virtually nil, because even the magic cannons of fifth-generation reconnaissance ships couldn’t penetrate the Thunderhawk’s defensive net, let alone those of the Pirates’ fleet, which were only fourth generation at best, and many even third and second generation. Facing these ships, the Thunderhawk didn’t feel threatened at all.

But don’t forget, the reconnaissance ships had a numerical advantage.

One-on-one, they were no match for the Thunderhawk, but what about ten against one? If there were ten, or even twenty reconnaissance ships surrounding the Thunderhawk, even if they couldn’t damage it, trapping it within their midst was certainly feasible!

So, within a few breaths’ time, numerous reconnaissance ships had surrounded the Thunderhawk, encircling it completely.

“Fire! Fire!”

“Fire with all your might! Dammit, not the main cannon! You’re using a sledgehammer to crack a nut; use the secondary guns, hit them hard with the secondary guns!”

When a large number of reconnaissance ships began encircling the Thunderhawk, the magic cannons on the Thunderhawk also started to fire fiercely.

As the flagship, the firepower of the Thunderhawk was unquestionable. Being a flagship, its firepower configuration was already higher than that of similar types of escort ships, and after Orton’s rune enhancement, the firepower of the Thunderhawk had already surpassed most third-generation flagships.

However, the enemy ships surrounding them were simply too many. The Wild Horse Air Pirate Group had clearly gone all out, sending over twenty reconnaissance ships to completely surround the Thunderhawk.

Looking around, the number of reconnaissance ships even exceeded the number of magic cannons on the Thunderhawk, and with problems like hit rates, the Thunderhawk simply had no way to break out in a short time.

“My Lord! We are trapped!”

As more and more reconnaissance ships gathered around, Felly quickly ran to Rocky’s side, indicating that they were surrounded and could not move.

“Ignore these reconnaissance ships, break through directly!”

Frowning, Rocky glanced at Felly and repeated his order.

“But, but my lord… If we force a breakout, we will collide…”

Stared at by Rocky, Felly was somewhat afraid, but still insisted.

He was not wrong. The Thunderhawk was already surrounded; the only result of forcing a breakout would be colliding with the reconnaissance ships blocking the path!

Although the Thunderhawk was a large warship and a flagship, colliding with one or two reconnaissance ships would not be an issue, but this time there weren’t just one or two ships blocking their progress! If the Thunderhawk forced a breakthrough and collided with several reconnaissance ships in succession, the consequences would be unimaginable!

“Pass my order, full speed ahead!”

However, despite Felly’s objections, Rocky was still issuing the same command, ordering the Thunderhawk to forcefully break through the encirclement!

After issuing this order, Rocky and Liliya exchanged a glance next to him, and then both of them leapt from the bow and flew into the air, splitting in two directions, rushing towards the reconnaissance ships blocking the way of the Thunderhawk!

Watching Rocky and Liliya fly from the bow into the air, Felly was momentarily stunned but then caught on, immediately yelling to the sailors behind him, “Full speed ahead, break through the encirclement!”

Following Felly’s order, the previously halted Thunderhawk began moving forward again, while Rocky, who had flown into the air, had already accelerated towards a reconnaissance ship, which was exactly blocking the Thunderhawk’s path.

With a full-power sprint, Rocky instantly shattered the defensive net of the reconnaissance ship, landed heavily on the deck after a blink, and facing him, the pirates on deck were stunned on the spot, completely unable to react.

Rocky ignored these pirates. After landing, he stretched out his hand and released a series of Magic Bullets at the deck beneath his feet, blasting a hole in the deck, and then jumped down.

By the time he jumped into the cabin, only a moment had passed when suddenly, with a loud bang, Rocky burst through the hull and flew away.

Until he gradually flew away, the pirates on the reconnaissance ship still did not understand what had happened, all still dazed. But just at that moment, when these people were staring blankly, not understanding the situation, a loud shout suddenly came from inside the ship: “The mana drive is going to explode! Run! Quic…”

Before the pirates in the cabin could finish shouting, the reconnaissance ship exploded, directly turning into a fireball in the air.

Shortly thereafter, another nearby reconnaissance ship also made a loud noise and similarly exploded into a fireball…
