Lord of the Sky City Chapter 655 - 655 617 Ten Minutes

Chapter 655: Chapter 617: Ten Minutes…… Chapter 655: Chapter 617: Ten Minutes…… To the adjutant, Tawa’s order seed overly cautious. The adjutant felt that even if the enemy caught up, they were fully capable of annihilating them, considering that despite Rocky’s continuous interference and the consequent loss of quite a few warships, they still had over three hundred warships at their disposal.

With such force, almost four tis that of the enemy, why would they need reinforcents from behind?

It must be said, an adjutant is just an adjutant, and there’s a reason why he cannot assu the role of a supre commander overseeing the entire army. For instance, in this matter, the adjutant’s thoughts were too one-sided. He only considered the current situation and forgot a very important fact: just before this great battle, Rocky had just wiped out an entire Fleet of the City of Fury!

At that ti, Rocky faced an enemy force two to three tis larger than his own. And what was the outco?

The result was that the First Fleet of the City of Fury was annihilated in an instant. The adjutant might have forgotten this, but Tawa rembered it clearly. In fact, if the First Fleet hadn’t been wiped out, Tawa wouldn’t have needed to lead troops into battle against Rocky.

It was precisely because he rembered the previous events that he took Rocky’s pursuers seriously and requested support without any hesitation.

And his actions were undoubtedly correct. After receiving his request for support, reinforcents led personally by Erwin set out imdiately, rushing towards the battlefield at high speed.

“Quick! Advance at maximum velocity!”

Eyer, as the City Lord, stood at the prow, his face visibly fraught with urgency.

Eyer trusted the fleet commanders he had appointed, not only in their loyalty but also in their capabilities. That’s why, as soon as he heard Tawa’s call for support, he knew sothing bad had happened; Tawa would never make such a request without cause.

Under such circumstances, Eyer urged the Fleet to enter the battlefield imdiately, without stopping for a mont.

However, he was still one step too late…

As ntioned earlier, although Eyer personally led the reinforcents to support Tawa, there was quite a distance to the front line, and the two were not closely adhered. In theory, the reinforcents he led should still arrive on the battlefield in ti, considering that Tawa requested support early and Eyer’s response was swift enough; there was definitely enough ti.

If they were facing just an ordinary enemy, it would indeed be so. Unfortunately for them, the enemy they were confronting this ti was not ordinary but a terrifying opponent like none they had ever seen before!

When Eyer led the Fleet towards the battlefield at top speed, they had only completed half the journey when the front line had already engaged in combat!

Boom…

Boom…

Boom…

Since they were now quite close to the battlefield, when Rocky’s Fleet and Tawa’s Fleet began to exchange fire, Eyer, who was rushing to the battlefield at maximum speed, could already hear the sound of the cannons. When he picked up his telescope to look towards the battlefield alongside the sound of cannons, he was utterly stunned!

Through his telescope, Eyer could clearly see the situation on the battlefield: with every cannon blast, one warship after another was rapidly being sunk, and without exception, all of the warships that were hit belonged to his own forces!

“How is this possible… How can this… be possible…”

As Erwin watched his warships being sunk one after another in the skirmish, he was sowhat stupefied. As the City Lord of the City of Fury, he hadn’t lacked experience in battle, quite the opposite; he had fought in many battles, and not just once had he personally led the Fleet to the frontline. Thus, Erwin was no stranger to the sight of his own warships being destroyed.

But this ti it was different, first, it was too fast. The speed at which his warships were being sunk was simply too fast, each following the other in quick succession—no, sotis even multiple warships disintegrated in the sky at the sa ti. More importantly, while his own warships were being sunk one after another, Rocky’s Fleet seed untouched!

Looking through his telescope at the distant engagent, Erwin could also see Rocky’s Fleet, but aside from the glow of the Defensive Net flickering to life on each enemy ship, he couldn’t see a single one being sunk.

What was happening?

The bright flashes of the enemy’s Defensive Net indicated that his own forces were continuously firing, but why hadn’t a single enemy warship fallen? Why were only his own warships exploding?

New technology!

It must be new technology!

Slamming down the telescope, Erwin finally realized how his First Fleet had been annihilated by Rocky—it must be that Rocky was utilizing top-end technology he controlled!

Damn it, this guy had been working on this the whole ti.

Erwin had always been wary of Rocky and the Apple Tree Corporation; he always felt that their relationship hadn’t soured, not only had it not soured, but they were also engaged in so underhanded maneuvers. He just hadn’t figured out what exactly they were up to.

However, now, after witnessing the image of his Fleet being sunk one by one, Erwin finally understood what they had been up to. Unfortunately, it was too late.

At this mont, Rocky, by virtue of his technological lead, had maximized the strengthening of his forces and exhibited this on the battlefield, gaining an advantage in the process.

During the few minutes Erwin had been observing the battlefield with his telescope, he personally witnessed more than a dozen warships being sunk, to the extent that when he put down his telescope, he grabbed the original Fleet commander and began bellowing imdiately!

“How much longer! How much longer until we reach the battlefield?”

“Te-ten minutes… My Lord, we’ll be there in ten minutes…”

The Fleet commander, grabbed by the collar by Erwin, was clearly terrified and stuttered in response. Hearing this, Erwin clenched his teeth bitterly. Ten minutes wasn’t a long ti, even on a battlefield, but that was under normal circumstances, and not on the battlefield they faced now!

On the current battlefield, every minute was incredibly precious because each minute ant at least a dozen more warships would be sunk; ten minutes ant a hundred ships! So for Erwin, this ti was agonizingly long.

But at this mont, no matter how anxious Erwin was, it didn’t matter because the Fleet was already traveling at maximum speed; there was absolutely no way to go faster. So, all he could do now was watch helplessly as his forces kept attacking on the battlefield, a feeling he had never experienced before…
