Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 296 Squad VS Squad!



Madison, of course, knew his fleet could not contain Rocky, but he also knew he held a trump card far mightier than his fleet – the Void Magic Squad!

So when Rocky entered the pocket formation, he immediately ordered the Void Magic Squad to strike, targeting the escort ships and destroyers directly.

Madison was truly cunning and calculating. From the beginning, he knew that if he wanted to win this battle, he could only rely on the power of the Void Magic Squad. That’s why he initially opted for long-range bombardment, to force Rocky closer to him. After that, he used the pocket formation to trap Rocky, ensuring he couldn’t escape, and finally deployed the Void Magic Squad to annihilate Rocky’s escort fleet.

Once accomplished, Rocky’s battleships and patrol cruisers would no longer be a threat. A single log cannot prop up a failing sky city; without the protection of the escort fleet, could the battleships and patrol cruisers still stand against the entire fleet? Obviously not!

So, at his command, ten Void Magic Warriors from the fully organized squad were deployed!

In an instant, ten Void Magic Warriors soared from the two patrol cruisers. After flying out of the defensive net, they immediately dispersed, pairing off and heading straight for Rocky’s escort fleet.

As a mid-sized sky city, Wild Horse City not only possessed a Void Magic Squad, but the quality of its squad was exceptionally high. For instance, the current squad consisted of ten Void Magic Warriors, with the squad leader wearing Fifth Generation Special Armor, while the rest donned uniform Fifth Generation Mass-Produced Armors.

This armor configuration was considered high-end, capable of inflicting massive damage on any foe on the battlefield. Needless to say, with Special Armor, the squad leader could single-handedly take on any large warship except for a battleship, and although those in Mass-Produced Armor might not be able to destroy a large warship one-on-one, pairing up made it easy to eliminate an escort ship or destroyer.

Such a high-end configured Void Magic Squad was indeed Madison’s ace in the hole!

“Launch smoke grenades, entangle their flagship and patrol cruisers, and buy time for the Void Magic Squad to annihilate the escort fleet.”

After dispatching the Void Magic Squad, Madison issued another order. Immediately, two patrol cruisers fired twice into the sky, but the fired shells were not Magic Energy Bullets; they were physical shells that exploded after flying out of the defensive net, turning into billows of smoke.

As the smoke grenades continued to be fired, the smoke merged into one mass, resembling a thin cloud, enveloping the two patrol cruisers within it!

Furthermore, the two patrol cruisers not only released smoke grenades around themselves but also towards the War Steed and the Hunter, causing all four warships to be engulfed in fog within minutes!

In these layers of fog, the huge silhouettes of the warships flickered in and out of view. Although one could still discern their exact locations, their targeting systems failed because the surrounding fog primarily served to disrupt the warships’ targeting systems. Once the warships’ targeting systems were impaired, they had no choice but to rely on sight for targeting, which naturally significantly reduced their accuracy.

Under this disruption, the roles of the War Steed and the Hunter were undoubtedly greatly reduced. Although Wild Horse City’s two patrol cruisers were also unable to fight at full capacity, Madison didn’t care. In his view, as long as he could impair the enemy’s effectiveness, he had already won the battle, for he still had the Void Magic Squad!

It must be said, Madison’s plan was indeed one loop within another, like a series of connected traps leading Rocky by the nose, ultimately luring him step by step into his own snare.

However, at that moment, Madison received a report from his deputy.

“Sir, the Void Magic Squad has sent a message…” Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire

“What’s the situation?”

“The enemy’s Void Magic Squad has also been deployed!”

Standing before Madison, the aide hurriedly reported the message from their own Void Magic Squad – they had encountered resistance from the enemy!

When Madison deployed his own Void Magic Squad, Rocky naturally didn’t just sit by passively so he immediately took action with Liliya, Monte, Lin Feng, Sandro, and Dusa to intercept the enemy!

“Oh?”

On hearing these words, Madison slightly furrowed his brow and then asked, “How many?”

“It seems there are only six people, not even a full squad, and their commander is among them.”

“In that case…”

Upon hearing the adjutant’s report, Madison pondered for a moment, then immediately said, “Change the squad’s objective, kill the opposing commander!”

“Yes, sir!”

With that, the adjutant hurried into the cabin and conveyed Madison’s orders to their Void Magic Squad through the Magic Energy Communicator.

“All members, be advised, change of combat objective, focus on killing the enemy Void Magic Warrior!”

After receiving the command, the captain of the Wild Horse City Void Magic Squad relayed the orders to all team members, “Herman, Bodhati, Civic, Domiir, the four of you come with me to eliminate the enemy commander, the rest of you are free to choose your targets, remember, we need a swift and decisive victory!”

“Understood!”

“Yes, sir!”

With the change in battle strategy, the Void Magic Squad from Wild Horse City promptly shifted their focus to Rocky and his team, and what’s more, Rocky as the commander received special attention, not only was he targeted by the captain wearing Special Fifth-Generation Armor, but the captain also called four other members to ensure his elimination!

With this, the face-off between the Void Magic Squads had officially begun!

“This little guy is mine, roar!”

Gila, a member of the Void Magic Squad, had initially been nearing an escort ship on Rocky’s side when, after receiving the orders, he turned back only to spot a figure in the distance.

On spotting the enemy, Gila let out an excited shout through the communicator, then immediately kicked his armor into high gear and dashed towards his target!

And the target he had spotted was Dusa!

Dusa, wearing armor in battle for the first time, was excited yet incredibly nervous. After separating from Rocky and the others, she was actually the first to spot Gila. However, due to her excessive nervousness, she hesitated and missed the prime moment to attack. By the time she decided to draw her bow, she had already been spotted by her opponent.

As she saw the enemy charging toward her, Dusa panicked and quickly shot an arrow, then turned to flee without looking back!

Before the battle had begun, Rocky, Liliya, Monte, Lin Feng, and even including Sandro, had all repeatedly instructed her that if she were targeted by an enemy in battle, she shouldn’t think of anything but to turn around and run, and Dusa firmly remembered this, turning to run immediately upon being discovered by the enemy.

“Trying to run? Hmph, you won’t get away!”

However, Gila, who had already caught up, was not about to let her escape. The speed of his Fifth-Generation Mass-Produced Armor was instantly maxed out as he chased after her!
