Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 424 - 392: Make a Name, Earn a Fortune!
Andy had no idea how Rocky had managed to hide Thunderhawk City within the war zone, but he was certain that he could defend against any attack from Thunderhawk City. After all, he commanded a huge force, one that was many times mightier than Thunderhawk City’s!
As a member of the Mairente family, Andy naturally knew Rocky very well. He even admired Rocky’s skills and if he were to set aside his family’s influence, he would give Rocky a thumbs up. Although Andy was also a City Lord of a small Sky City, he admitted that he could not develop his city to the level Rocky had achieved in Thunderhawk City, nor could he stir up as much trouble as Rocky did.
In fact, when Andy discovered Thunderhawk City, a quick connection of events made him realize who the mastermind behind those vicious attacks half a month ago was—it was undoubtedly Rocky.
While secretly admiring Rocky’s daring audacity, Andy felt reassured because he had heard from his contacts in Chenxiu City that the Reconnaissance Ships had accurately determined the number of Rocky’s forces, ranging from fifty to eighty warships. This made Andy even more confident; such a force could never breach Hongshou City’s defenses.
So, when he learned that frontline reinforcement would take five days to arrive, he muttered complaints to himself, but his confidence did not wane in the slightest.
"All forces, set sail!"
Standing on the flagship’s deck, clad in Void Magic Armor, Andy waved his hand and led the entire fleet into the sky!
A hundred and fifty warships took off from the Skyport at his command—a spectacle so impressive that it defied description. Not even Andy himself had ever witnessed such an awe-inspiring sight. Being a City Lord of just a small Sky City, he had never commanded over a hundred warships, not even reconnaissance ships.
It was clear to anyone who saw it, Andy’s current setup—immediately deploying a hundred and fifty warships, along with all three squads of Void Magic Warriors—was not aimed at defense. Clearly, he intended to launch a major offensive!
Indeed!
After learning that reinforcements would take five days, Andy’s first thought had indeed been to defend for those five days. But immediately, a second thought emerged: why must he solely play defense? Could he not also go on the offensive?
Andy felt that this idea was not overambitious.
He was a City Lord of a small Sky City, and so was Rocky. If Rocky could cause such uproar in the war zone, why couldn’t he?
He had everything at his disposal now, more ships than Rocky and more Void Magic Warriors. Why should he only defend against the enemy’s attacks and not launch his own?
As a City Lord himself, Andy also yearned to perform on a grander stage. And let’s not forget his status as a member of the Mairente family; their stance on Rocky was clear without saying. Therefore, if he could defeat Rocky, it would not only benefit the Rebel Army but also his own family. Surely, that would bring him various rewards and might even elevate him to the family’s management tier!

Driven by the lure of wealth and power, every City Lord harbors ambitions, and Andy was no exception.
Thus, when he left Hongshou City, he took all the forces of the city with him!
The grand army, made up of a hundred and fifty warships, majestically left the defenses of Sky City and headed straight for distant Thunderhawk City.
However, when Andy had already deployed his forces in battle formation and was advancing mightily towards Thunderhawk City, there was absolutely no response from Thunderhawk City.
They must be petrified, undoubtedly shocked by the sight of his formidable army!
Seeing no movement from Thunderhawk City, Andy couldn’t help but smirk to himself, feeling a secret thrill.
He was extremely excited and nervous, partly because he had never commanded so many forces before, and partly because the lack of response from Thunderhawk City gave him a glimmer of hope.
Andy never imagined that Rocky, the very one who troubled his entire family, could possibly fall into his hands this time!
The mere thought thrilled him and made him nervous because he knew today might just be the best opportunity of his lifetime to make a name for himself. He must not blow it. If he squandered this opportunity, he might never encounter such a fortune again in his life.
So, after steadying his spirit, Andy issued the command, and the massive force, already halted mid-air, began to advance towards Thunderhawk City!
Andy believed that Rocky could never have anticipated he would have such a large force; otherwise, judging by Rocky’s usual reputation, he would have already launched an attack. However, Rocky had not done so, and Andy believed that Rocky might already be panicking, unsure of what to do next.
Thinking this, Andy could barely suppress a laugh. The idea of making such a significant figure falter in front of him was incredibly satisfying!
Shortly thereafter, the vast fleet of over a hundred warships approached the Defensive Net of Thunderhawk City, but still, no fleet was raised from within the city.
"Fire!"
Seeing that Rocky still hadn’t made a move, Andy completely let down his guard and then issued the order to fire to the entire army!
At his command, an army of one hundred and fifty warships began to spread out, quickly surrounding half of Thunderhawk City and then began firing simultaneously!
The ear-splitting roar of the cannons erupted in an instant; it was at that same moment that Thunderhawk City’s Defensive Net lit up and started to emit wave after wave of ripples, clearly sustaining tremendous damage.
No wonder, with one hundred and fifty warships, all of them the most advanced fifth-generation large warships, the scale of firepower and the consequent destructive power generated by this fleet attacking together was unimaginable; thus, even the Defensive Net of the Sky City was under great pressure.
If this momentum continued and allowed Andy’s troops to attack without restraint, the Thunderhawk City Defensive Net might not even hold up for a day before breaking!
Perhaps feeling the pressure, after the cannon fire, warships finally began launching from within Thunderhawk City!
Amid the blazing cannon fire, a massive warship slowly flew out from within the city, quickly reaching the forefront of the Defensive Net. It was Rocky’s flagship, the War Steed!
"One ship? Hahaha!"
Watching the War Steed slowly emerging from within the city, Andy was initially a bit nervous, but when he saw that only one warship came out, he could no longer control himself and burst out laughing!
One warship?
What was Rocky planning to do; did he intend to contend with his vast army using just this one warship?
Or did he actually plan to come out to surrender!?
Thinking this, Andy couldn’t help but laugh heartily. He knew he had this battle in the bag!
But just as he was laughing heartily, a fleet appeared behind the War Steed!
This time, ten warships emerged.

"Hmph!"
Seeing the fleet slowly emerging from Thunderhawk City, Andy simply scoffed. He knew very well how many troops Rocky had; at most around eighty warships. Even if there were more, they couldn’t escape the gaze of one hundred warships; and even if he had one hundred warships, they wouldn’t be a match for his force of one hundred fifty warships and three squads of Void Magic Warriors!
Just as Andy thought this, the warships behind the War Steed had already increased from the original ten to thirty—in the short span of time, more warships had flown out from the city.
Following this, a new batch of warships appeared, but this time the number significantly increased to more than fifty. Adding these fifty or so warships, the fleet behind the War Steed had already grown to more than eighty!
"That’s enough, that’s all they have."
Seeing that the warships behind the War Steed had reached more than eighty, Andy knew this was the limit for Rocky; he could not send any more troops.
However, just as he had that thought, a new batch of warships appeared behind the War Steed, and the number of these warships still reached more than fifty!
And before Andy could even react, another batch of warships appeared; this time the number was even greater, well over a hundred!
Then, another hundred warships appeared from Thunderhawk City!
"This, this... how is this..."
"How is this possible!"
Watching batch after batch of warships continuously appearing from Thunderhawk City, Andy was utterly flabbergasted. When he finally gathered his senses and looked again behind the War Steed, he saw that the number of warships had become a dense mass, already exceeding three hundred!!
