Chapter 178 Land of Erasure (Part 2)
Seeing Karina deploy her entire fleet, Rocky couldn't help but give a thumbs-up in his mind, he had to admit, Karina was incredibly strong!
He remembered how Berg had said back in Lingyu City that Karina was known as the Tyrant of Rose City, her formidable strength such that other smaller Sky City Lords kept a respectful distance, not daring to provoke her. At the time, Rocky hadn't paid much attention to it, thinking that even if Karina was strong, she was still just at the level of a smaller Sky City. How strong could she really be?
But now, he realized he had underestimated the Tyrant of Rose City because the strength displayed by these two fleets alone was enough to sweep away most other smaller Sky Cities without any problem.
That was over forty 4th generation warships, including two flagships and six escort ships! With such strength, no wonder Karina had boasted she could defeat the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group's fleet.
"What's with all the fuss? If you let me go all out on remodeling, your Thunderhawk wouldn't be much inferior to the flagship over there."
As Rocky and the others were continuously praising Karina's fleet, a smug voice came out, it was Orton, who was traveling with the ship.
Orton insisted on coming along after learning that Rocky was heading to the Traceless Battlefield, and Rocky couldn't dissuade him, so he let him board the ship. After all, Orton was an archmage, and whether or not he could be of help, at least no one else needed to look after him.
At that moment, Orton also came up to the bow, standing in line with Rocky, looking at Karina's fleet, then he scoffed and said, "Just a few dozen scrap ships, you all seem like you've never seen the world."
After uttering those words, he then turned to look at Rocky, "Kid, when are you going to get me a 4th generation flagship? I have some ideas I want to test out..."
"Teacher, I need to go meet with Lord Karina, I'll be off!"
The moment Orton actually asked for a 4th generation flagship, Rocky, scared, quickly leaped off the Thunderhawk and ran towards Karina's flagship.
Once on board Karina's Code Rose, the two discussed briefly and decided not to delay, to descend immediately and enter the Traceless Battlefield.
Shortly after, the gathered fleet of over forty warships slowly decreased their altitude and then flew into the Traceless Battlefield!
To avoid the Magical Energy Storm as much as possible, the forty-odd warships descended to an altitude of only a hundred meters above the land.
Flying at this height, the impact of the Magical Energy Storm on the warships was greatly reduced, but even so, all the warships still spread out their Defensive Nets, because although the impact was minor, there was still a possibility they could be affected by the Mana leaking from the Magical Energy Storm.
As the fleet slowly entered the Traceless Battlefield, everyone felt the surroundings suddenly darken, as if the sky had promptly turned black.
This was normal, as the Traceless Battlefield was constantly enveloped by a Magical Energy Storm above, blocking out the sunlight and leaving the entire battlefield in a state without distinction between day and night.
"Rocky, look!"
After Rocky returned to the Thunderhawk, he and Liliya stayed on the bow and thus witnessed many unusual sights they wouldn't normally see.
For instance, right now, following the direction of Liliya's pointing finger, Rocky saw a tornado forming in the distance, which left him a bit surprised.
He had certainly seen tornadoes before, but he was sure that just a moment ago, he had looked in the same direction twice and had not seen this tornado. That is to say, this tornado, sweeping up countless amounts of dust, had just formed—in a matter of seconds!
But suddenly, right before Rocky's eyes, the tornado dispersed without any warning, vanishing in the blink of an eye as if it had never existed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Such a scene made Rocky slightly gape, as he turned his head to glance at Liliya and found her expression to be quite similar to his own.
While the two were in astonishment, a blinding light suddenly flashed, and from the high skies, a bolt of lightning struck down straight through the Mana Energy Storm, hitting the Defensive Net of the Thunderhawk!
Following that was a crackling sound, as the lightning burst upon hitting the Defensive Net, illuminating the Thunderhawk's Defensive Net with a halo of light.
"Good lord..."
Watching the glow on the Defensive Net fade away, Rocky had a fleeting sense of alarm. The environment of the Traceless Battlefield was indeed as the rumors described, no, it was even more severe than the rumors.
In such circumstances, to avoid unnecessary losses, he had to consult with Karina again, and then they decided to slow down the speed of the Fleet, to avoid being affected by the Magical Energy Storm due to flying too fast.
This caution on their part was naturally not misplaced, but they still underestimated the Traceless Battlefield. At this moment, they had only just entered the periphery of the Traceless Battlefield, and everything they encountered so far was merely child's play. The real danger was still lying ahead, waiting for them.
Indeed, about half a day later, a sudden Lightning Storm descended from above the Traceless Battlefield, bringing Rocky and Liliya a harsh lesson without any warning!
Bolts of lightning, as thick as arms, unexpectedly fell from the sky in countless numbers. Every lightning bolt seemed to have eyes of its own, striking the warships with such precision!
This Lightning Storm was like a downpour, washing over Karina's two fleets and Rocky's two warships. The scene was simply indescribable.
Fortunately, all of Karina's warships were of the fourth generation, and even the Reconnaissance Ship maintained a considerable strength in its Defensive Net, while Rocky's two warships were both large types, allowing them to escape unharmed from this sudden storm.
However, not long after the Lightning Storm ended, before everyone could recover, a rain of fire suddenly descended!
Fireballs large as washbasins fell from the high skies of the Magical Energy Storm, each aimed directly at the warships, lighting up the Defence Nets with speckles of light and the bombardment lasted for a full half-hour!
To tell the truth, even though they had braced themselves, after being subjected to both the Lightning Storm and the fire rain, everyone felt a bit scared. They also understood why even Demons dared not to enter the Traceless Battlefield, this land of death; the place was simply too terrifying. Experience tales at empire
Right after the fire rain ceased, Karina took advantage of her Void Magic Armor and flew to the Thunderhawk, finding Rocky.
"Is the Guard Corps alright?"
After experiencing the Lightning Storm and the fire rain, Karina's biggest concern was for Rocky's two warships, as both of them were only third-generation warships, and it would be normal if they could not hold up under such relentless assault.
But fortunately, both the Thunderhawk and the Escort Ship were without major damage, so Rocky shook his head and then asked, "Karina, are you certain the Shadow Alliance's intelligence is not mistaken?"
"What do you mean?"
Karina frowned at Rocky's question, and afterwards he directly said, "This Traceless Battlefield is such a frightening place. Are you sure the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group would hide their base here?"
After a series of strikes, Rocky couldn't help but voice this doubt. He now strongly questioned whether Karina was wrong. Such a dreadful place, the Traceless Battlefield, could the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group really have their base hidden here?
