Chapter 151 Target the Flagship!

    Following Rocky''s orders, Liliya no longer entangled herself with Baron Wolin and instead flew toward the engaged fleet, setting her sights on a Floating Warship.


    She had to leave because, from their brief sh, she realized the vast gap between herself and Baron Wolin. It was so great that staying would not only fail to help Rocky but would also be a burden. Reluctantly, Liliya knew she had to leave.


    But even Liliya herself did not know how fortunate her departure was because if she had stayed, there would have been only one oue—death!


    She simply couldn''t match up. As a seasoned Void Magic Warrior, Baron Wolin''s skills and experience far surpassed Liliya''s, who was wearing Void Magic Armor in battle for the first time. It was no exaggeration to say that if they faced off directly, Liliya would have lost her life within ten rounds!


    Therefore, Liliya''s departure was undeniably right, as it saved her life.


    However, this put all the pressure from Baron Wolin squarely on Rocky. As themanders of their respective sides, neither Rocky nor Baron Wolin would let the other retreat easily tomand their fleet.


    Rocky wouldn''t let Baron Wolin go. If Wolin returned tomand his troops, he would greatly pressure Rocky''s own fleet. Simrly, Baron Wolin would not let Rocky escape because he was confident he could kill him, and once Rocky was dead, the battle would be over.


    In such a situation, the two quickly became entangled in a fierce battle, a true fight to the death and a sh of Void Magic Armor against Void Magic Armor, where no one else could intervene!


    Meanwhile, as Rocky and Baron Wolin were locked inbat, their fleets had already begun engaging directly.


    Above the sky, more than fifty warships were participating in an intensely fierce battle.


    Rocky''s fleet was divided into two groups: one was lead by the Thunderhawk gship, assisted by seven old-style Reconnaissance Ships, and the other by an Escort Ship, supported by fifteen Reconnaissance Ships. The two fleets encircled Baron Wolin''s fleet from the front and nk, advancing clockwise while opening fierce fire.


    Simply put, they were attacking by surrounding Baron Wolin''s fleet.


    After suffering the initial strike, Baron Wolin''s fleet quickly retaliated. Although Baron Wolin himself was not with his fleet, his trusted subordinates were no ordinary soldiers. After the initial surprise, theyunched a counterattack.


    For a while, the fire from the Magic Cannons shone like stars in the sky, and the continuous sound of cannonfire did not cease, echoing non-stop throughout the airspace. Amidst the fire and noise, Floating Warships were disintegrating and exploding one after another, turning into beautiful fireworks dotting the battlefield.


    Uncle Wil once said that airbat is different fromndbat. Those who have never participated in air battles can never imagine how shocking they are. Many of the guards in Thunderhawk City did not believe it at the time, but now it seemed utterly true.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The scene of over fifty warships bombarding each other with Magic Cannons could indeed be described as electrifying. And this was just the beginning of the battle. Both fleets were still maintaining a distance of hundreds of meters, making their hit rate not very high. But once the distance closed to a closebat range, the spectacle of the battle would be even more breathtaking and far bloodier.


    However, from the current situation, it seemed that Rocky''s side had gained a slight advantage. The constant attacks by the two fleets,rge and small, revolving around Baron Wolin''s fleet, created significant pressure on the enemy.


    Although Rocky''s fleet was split into two groups, and numerically did not seem superior, the presence of arge warship in each group meant that despite their small numbers, their firepower was formidable.


    For example, the small fleet led by the Thunderhawk, although paired with the first-generation old reconnaissance ships and having only seven, the Thunderhawk itself had very powerful firepower. Four main cannons enhanced by runes, plus twenty simrly enhanced secondary cannons. The firepower of this single gship was equivalent to seven to ten reconnaissance ships!


    "Fellows! Fire away! Don''t aim, just keep firing!"


    On the deck of the Thunderhawk, Uncle Wil was shouting vigorously, constantly urging the young crew.


    Uncle Wil was not only an experienced old sailor but also a sly old fox. He was well aware that in any space battle, the gship was the safest, so he had volunteered to be a crew member of the Thunderhawk.


    However crafty he might have been, his experience was indeed plentiful. Once the battle started, he actively coordinated everyone on the deck.


    "Fellows, remember, no need to try hard aiming, just keep firing. Let the main cannons handle the aiming!"


    Standing on the deck, Uncle Wil shouted loudly, passing on his experience to the Thunderhawk''s gunners.


    He was absolutely right in his words. In space battles, it was impossible to make every shot hit. The only way to increase the hit rate was to rely on the number of shots, creating a of firepower that made it impossible for the enemy covered by it to avoid, and naturally hitting the target.


    So, as the battlemenced, Uncle Wil kept urging the secondary cannon gunners not to aim precisely but rather to target a general direction. Owing to his demands, the Thunderhawk''s secondary cannons hardly ever stopped firing.


    The firepower formed by the twenty secondary cannons was indeed mighty, and during the continuous barrage, two of Baron Wolin''s reconnaissance ships had already been hit.


    But don''t underestimate this achievement. Currently, both sides were at least a hundred meters apart, and at such a distance, the hit rate of the magic cannons was very low. Thus, for a single warship to have sunk two enemy ships was quite impressive.


    Although Rocky''s fleet was powerful, Baron Wolin''s fleet was also formidable. The opposing side, too, had a firepower-packed gship and had a slight numerical advantage in terms of reconnaissance ships. Therefore, when the fleetunched a counterattack, its lethality was immediately evident.


    "Order all warships to charge and sink the gship of Thunderhawk City!"


    With Baron Wolin absent,mand of the fleet had fallen to his second-inmand, a man also over forty years old with many years of experience in battle following Baron Wolin. After stabilizing their positions, he made the most decisive and urate judgment, which was to take down the Thunderhawk.


    Now, the situation on the battlefield seemed somewhat disadvantageous for Baron Wolin''s side as his fleet was surrounded. Facing the encirclement from two fleets on either side, even with a numerical advantage, Baron Wolin''s fleet inevitably had its firepower dispersed.


    But this apparent disadvantage was also rtive. Although Rocky had split his fleet into two to encircle the enemy, this action also meant weakening his own forces, making it challenging for the divided fleets to face Baron Wolin''s fleet head-on!


    Baron Wolin''s second-inmand, having keenly perceived this, immediately ordered the entire fleet tounch an assault. They not only aimed to break through the encirclement but also to use their numerical advantage to devour the gship, the Thunderhawk, in one fell swoop!
