Lord of the Sky City

The headquarters of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group was unexpectedly hidden in the Traceless Battlefield, which somewhat troubled Rocky.

The environment of the Traceless Battlefield was so harsh that even without having been there, Rocky had heard enough about it. Thus, upon returning to Thunderhawk City, he immediately summoned Monte and Lin Feng to his side.

"Sir, the Traceless Battlefield... I haven't been there either."

"You haven't been either?"

"No..."

Shaking his head, Monte showed a helpless expression. His knowledge of the Traceless Battlefield was also limited to rumors, as he had never been there personally. Although once a Demon Hunter who had roamed from south to north, he was a loner who also had a daughter to consider.

He would never venture into dangerous areas like the Traceless Battlefield, especially since it wasn't heavily populated by demons, so what business would a Demon Hunter have there?

This now troubled Rocky, who had assumed Monte had been to the Traceless Battlefield so that they could at least get some prior knowledge of the area, but this assumption had fallen through.

"Sir, I have been to the Traceless Battlefield before."

Just as Rocky felt a headache coming on, Lin Feng suddenly spoke up from the side, telling Rocky he had been to the Traceless Battlefield!

"You have been?"

Looking at Lin Feng with surprise, Rocky felt unforeseen; had he really been to the Traceless Battlefield? Wasn't he always in Backhill Village?

"Sir, although the environment of the Traceless Battlefield is very harsh, demons are quite rare, so there are still some people living around the battlefield. A few years ago, I went through the battlefield to visit a village."

Lin Feng's words were both surprising and reassuring for Rocky—surprising because he had always thought Lin Feng had never left Backhill Village; reassuring because, since Lin Feng had been to the Traceless Battlefield, they could at least get some preliminary understanding of the area.

"Lin Feng, is the environment of the Traceless Battlefield really as the rumors describe?"

"No, sir."

Facing Rocky's question, Lin Feng directly shook his head: "The environment of the Traceless Battlefield is even more severe than the rumors suggest."

''Sir, a hundred years ago, that great battle left behind an indelible Magical Energy Storm which makes it impossible for Sky City to enter. Even demons are reluctant to go there, but even so, the Traceless Battlefield remains extremely dangerous. Anyone walking on the battlefield could at any moment be caught up by the Magical Energy Storm, with a very high mortality rate."

"Furthermore, that battlefield is very sinister..."

"Sinister?"

Hearing these words, Rocky exchanged glances with Monte, then they both looked towards Lin Feng, obviously not understanding what he meant.

''Sir, I'm not very clear on the details, but the last time I went to the battlefield, a lot of strange things happened during the process and several of our group died for no apparent reason."

"I see..."

Lin Feng's ambiguous explanation not only failed to clarify anything for Rocky, but it also left him even more confused. However, from Lin Feng's brief description, Rocky at least understood one thing: the Traceless Battlefield was definitely not a good place.

This outcome undoubtedly cast a shadow over the upcoming operation, so Rocky immediately instructed Monte and Lin Feng to return to the Guard Corps and explain everything that they might encounter to the guards, to better prepare them.

So, three days passed, and after these three days, the two cities flying side by side in the sky finally came to a halt, because they had reached their destination!

The Traceless Battlefield, they had arrived!

According to Karina's plan, upon reaching the outskirts of the Traceless Battlefield, everyone was to leave Sky City and board skyships to enter the battlefield.

Since this arrangement had been made long ago, when Sky City stopped, Rocky had gathered the Guard Corps at the Skyport early on.

"Sir, that is a Magical Energy Storm,"

standing next to Rocky, Lin Feng pointed towards the distance.

Actually, even without his reminder, Rocky had already noticed the Magical Energy Storm he was referring to.

Following Rocky's gaze, one could see a massive dark cloud in the distant sky. The cloud covered the sun, immensely thick, and even from a great distance, Rocky could clearly see bolts of lightning and balls of fire moving within the cloud, as if the cloud were some living creature!

This giant cloud was the Magical Energy Storm Lin Feng referred to, the main culprit that turned the Traceless Battlefield into a barren wasteland.

Over a hundred years ago, the unprecedented war involved not only numerous participants but also unmatched quality. According to the data that could be accessed, there were thousands of archmages within the Allied Forces, and dozens of mages, almost god-like in prowess!

The Magical Energy Storm before Rocky was the ultimate magic conjured by the mages together!

In the decisive battle of the Traceless Battlefield, knowing that defeat was inevitable, the Allied Forces had more than ten mages create this Magical Energy Storm, hoping this ultimate magic powerful enough to destroy heavens and earth would halt the Demons' advance.

With the efforts of these mages, the Allied Forces' plan succeeded. Unfortunately, the Demons were not delayed for long; they eventually defeated the Allied Forces and conquered the land. Ironically, the Magic Storm that should have blocked the Demons remained permanently on the battlefield until today, never dissipating.

Because of this terrifying storm, the airspace above the Traceless Battlefield had become a no-fly zone; Sky City couldn't come close without being destroyed!

However, fortunately, even though the Magical Energy Storm still existed after so many years, it no longer possessed the devastating power it once had. Although the high altitudes were still dangerous, the lower altitudes were relatively safe; at least, skyships could fly.

"All hands, board the ships!"

Standing on the Skyport, Rocky stared at the Magical Energy Storm for a while before snapping back to reality and issuing the command!

Now that they had arrived at the Traceless Battlefield and were about to set off, worrying was useless. Even if they had to do it reluctantly, they had to move forward!

Following his command, the well-prepared Guard Corps immediately boarded the Thunderhawk and two escort ships. Once all members were onboard, the two large warships took off from the Skyport and flew out of the Defensive Net.

Since the main role this time was the Guard Corps, Rocky did not bring his entire fleet, only deploying two warships for troop transport and air cover. The rest was handled by Karina.

Meanwhile, as Thunderhawk and the escort Ships sequentially exited Thunderhawk City's Defensive Net, Karina's fleet also emerged in the sky and slowly began to join with Rocky's fleet.

"...This Karina... really has some strength..."

Standing with Rocky on the bow of the Thunderhawk, Liliya, clad in Void Magic Armor, couldn't help but comment upon seeing Karina's fleet approaching, obviously impressed by the scale of the opponent's fleet.

In fact, not only her, but Rocky too, felt surprised after seeing Karina's true capabilities!

The fleet coming from Rose City and gradually approaching them consisted of two divisions.

Each division had exactly twenty ships, each consisting of one flagship, three escort ships, and sixteen reconnaissance ships; more importantly, every warship in these two divisions was a 4th generation craft!

This was Karina's strength, the top capability within the smaller Sky Cities!
