Lord of the Sky City

Seeing Rocky's fleet appear outside the Defensive Net, Matu was immediately bewildered, and after being confused for a moment, he grabbed Baron Wolin!

"Wolin, what's going on! Whose fleet are these!"

"These... are... Rocky's fleet..."

Baron Wolin, who was grabbed by Matu, had lost the arrogance he had a few days ago and dejectedly gave the answer.

Hearing this answer, Matu's eyes widened, and his surprised expression distorted his entire face!

"Rocky's fleet? The very Rocky that you were supposed to drive away?"

While speaking, Matu looked outside the Defensive Net, towards the fleet stationed there.

Even without Baron Wolin's explanation, Matu could guess what was happening, but precisely because he guessed it, he found it even more unbelievable.

He recalled Baron Wolin telling him that the City Lord of Thunderhawk City was nothing but a coward, not to speak of resisting, he would wet himself and scamper away at the sight of him, so how had it ended up with Baron Wolin coming back in such a disgraceful state?

What was more important, what did Rocky intend to do by stopping his fleet outside his Sky City? Could it be... could it be that he intended to attack the city?

Hearing the possibilities in his mind, Matu then heard the thundering sounds of cannon fire, and soon saw the fleet outside vigorously attacking the Defensive Net!

Rocky was truly beginning the siege!

"Order all warships, fire at will!"

Accompanied by Liliya, Rocky stood on the bow of the Thunderhawk, coldly watching Matu City and the Defensive Net that stood between him and Matu City, and issued the command to commence firing!

To siege!

This command marked the start of a siege, but Rocky himself didn't realize it because he never thought about whether he could take down Matu City. He simply didn't want Baron Wolin to have an easy time, nor anyone else who helped bully him, just that simple!

Following his command, the Thunderhawk, the Escort Ships, and the remaining few Airship Model 6 Reconnaissance Ships all aimed their cannons at Matu City!

The deafening sound of cannons fired a second later, and numerous cannonballs soon landed on the expanded Defensive Net of Matu City, causing specks of light to continuously burst forth, almost like an umbrella under the barrage of raindrops.

But the Defensive Net of Sky City was indeed strong, and even though each cannon shot from the warships hit accurately, it still did not shatter after several rounds of bombardment.

But this was only temporary, as any Defensive Net has a limit, whether it's enduring over the limit or overloading beyond its capacity, in any case, given enough time, any Defensive Net would be blown open.

As the ruler, Matu of course knew this, so when Rocky began his offensive, he truly became nervous.

Although Matu City had a population of three thousand, there were only fifteen warships, all third-generation Reconnaissance Ships, and not even a single large warship existed among them. These warships if sent out would be totally annihilated by the flagship and Escort Ships, unable to drive away Rocky, thus Matu could only vent his rage on Baron Wolin.

"Wolin, what exactly is going on! Why is this Rocky attacking my city!"

"My Lord, this Rocky..."

Having just been defeated, the current Baron Wolin was like a deflated ball, not only devoid of his previous arrogance and confidence, but even when facing Matu he no longer presumed the identity of City Lord, instead directly addressing Matu as 'My Lord'.

"Shut your mouth!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Matu rudely interrupted him.

With the situation reaching this stage and endangering his own comfort, how could Matu remain polite to Baron Wolin?

Before, he had respected the Baron because of the latter's imminent position as City Lord, his role in one of the great families, and the powerful fleet at his disposal. But now that Baron Wolin's fleet had been destroyed and he was no longer going to become the City Lord, and most infuriatingly, he brought an enemy to Matu's doorstep, how could Matu possibly show him any courtesy?

"Wolin! I don't care what grudges you have with Rocky, but you need to resolve this matter right now and not drag me into this!"

Looking fiercely at Baron Wolin, Matu almost commanded him.

Baron Wolin, however, had no choice but to speak humbly; under such circumstances, he had to bow his head, for if Matu really threw him out, then he would truly be finished.

So, facing Matu's menacing gaze, Baron Wolin immediately said in an extremely meek manner, "City Lord, please calm your anger, Rocky is just venting, he won't stay long."

"Nonsense! What if he keeps bombarding us? What if he actually breaches the Defensive Net! Go and resolve this issue right now!"

"City Lord, please consider the Mairente Family's sake, and on Lord Lexington's account, help me this time, I will surely repay you generously in the future!"

Faced with Matu clearly intending to hand him over, Baron Wolin had no choice but to bring up his family and his own master.

His words did have an effect. At the mention of the Mairente Family and Lexington, Matu's expression, though still grim, eased off and he said no more.

The Mairente Family was not to be trifled with, as Matu couldn't afford to provoke them, and Lexington was not only Baron Wolin's direct superior but also a powerful figure within the Mairente Family, owning a vast Sky City, an existence too formidable for Matu to provoke.

In this situation, Matu thought for a long time, cursed Baron Wolin as a "useless" and then walked away.

About ten minutes later, Matu reappeared at the skyport, already clad in a suit of Void Magic Armor, and then boarded a reconnaissance ship, leading his entire fleet to ascend.

It looked like he planned to resolve the matter himself.

"Sir, someone is coming."

Onboard the Thunderhawk, Rocky and his team observed Matu and over ten reconnaissance ships slowly approaching. Shortly thereafter, they arrived at the Defensive Net, and just like when Rocky confronted Baron Wolin, they faced off through the net.

"Come on, let's check it out."

Seeing Matu and the ten-plus reconnaissance ships on the ships, Rocky showed no fear, lifted off with Liliya, and flew to the foremost part of the fleet.

Matu inside the Defensive Net did the same, but he didn't rely on his Void Magic Armor to fly over; instead, he took his own reconnaissance ship.

This was not because Matu was cautious, but because he dared not come alone!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although Matu was considered a Void Magic Warrior and wore a Fifth Generation Armor worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, he dared not face Rocky alone, because he had never engaged in any battle!

His Void Magic Armor was solely for demonstrating his status, never having been used in combat, so not to mention facing Rocky and Liliya alone, he found it difficult even to fly from the ship to meet them.

Similarly, his fleet had never participated in any major battles, whether in terms of experience, capability, or especially morale, they were incomparable to Rocky's fleet.

Whether a person has self-confidence or a sense of security is immediately noticeable, so when Rocky saw Matu approaching in his skyship, a sneer crossed his mind, and a previously unthought-of idea gradually formed in his brain!
