Under Rocky''smand, the Thunderhawk and the Scavenger Type 1 Escort Ship began to gradually turn their hulls and then elerated at full force, closing in on the warships of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group!


    "Boys, fire! Fire! Hit them hard!"


    As the Thunderhawk closed in on the enemy, Old Jack, who was in charge of deckmand, roared at the gunners, but his voice was soon drowned out by a series of cannon fire—the Thunderhawk''s main and secondary guns fired simultaneously!


    Since they were facing the enemy head-on, only half of the magic cannons on both warships could take aim, but even so, the firepower remained strong enough that a reconnaissance ship was sunk in an instant as soon as they opened fire!


    Meanwhile, as the Thunderhawk and the Scavenger Type 1 Escort Ship approached, the escort ships of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group hurriedly turned tail, choosing to flee without daring to resist!


    Their actions were evidently correct, for if one were to talk aboutprehensive strength, the escort ship could not even defeat a single warship like the Thunderhawk, let alone when it also had to face the Scavenger Type 1 Escort Ship. So, when Rockymanded his two warships to advance, the enemy chose to flee without firing a single shot.


    "The escort ship stays behind to protect the Guard Corps, Thunderhawk joins the battlefield."


    Easily driving back the enemy, Rocky issued a new order for the Scavenger Type 1 Escort Ship to stay behind and protect the guards below. Otherwise, once he joined the battlefield, if the enemy sent warships to harass, even reconnaissance ships could pose a threat to the Guard Corps.


    After that, Rocky directed the Thunderhawk towards the main battlefield in the sky!


    ......


    ......


    By the time Rockymanded the Thunderhawk to join the aerialbat, therge-scale battle had been raging for quite some time.


    And after such a prolonged period of fighting, both Liliya''s fleet and the fleet of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group had shed intensely, losing their respective formations and beginning the most brutal of melees.@@novelbin@@


    In this situation, Rocky didn''t hesitate to lead the Thunderhawk into the fray!


    Interestingly enough, when Rocky and Liliya stood on the deck leading the Thunderhawk into battle, they happened to fly past Void Magic Warriors engaged in fiercebat, making them visible to all of the opposing Void Magic Warriors.


    After so much time had passed, with the fleets locked in fierce gunfire and their respective Void Magic Warriors engaged in a deadly fight which resulted in casualties, one of Karina''s four guards had been killed, and Kilov had simrly lost onepanion, turning the original battle of ten Void Magic Warriors into a sh of four against four.


    Clearly, neither side wanted the other''s Void Magic Warriors to join in the fleet''s battle since the quality of the armor worn by both sides'' Void Magic Warriors was extremely high—consisting entirely of fourth-generation models.


    In such a situation, if anyone from either side disengaged frombat, no, even if just one person withdrew to join the fleet''s engagement, it could be a significant threat affecting the entire battle.


    So despite the airbat havingsted so long, both sides'' Void Magic Warriors were constantly tangled up with their opponents. Among them, Karina and Kilov were the most active; both were bent on killing each other, both were trying hard to stop the other, and both were looking for ways to break free from the fight quickly to assist their fleets.


    Regrettably, neither could achieve this because their opponents were paying them special attention.


    Especially Karina, she was the only one among them wearing Special Armor. While Kilov''s strength and experience were evidently superior, his armor was a fourth-generation Mass Production Type. Perhaps Kilov''s armor stood out among the mass-produced versions, but it still couldn''tpare to the true Special Armor.


    In contrast, while Karina was indeed a bit inferior to Kilov in terms of strength, her Special Armor was truly amazing. The armor, a fourth-generation Special Type, boasted a magic energy value of 6000 points! Its power was so formidable that it could take on arge warship single-handedly!


    Such a formidable armor made Karina the target of everyone''s arrows, as all the enemy''s Void Magic Warriors circled around her, like a swarm of bees around a rose.


    And it was amid such intense shing that Rocky arrived.


    Once he appeared, he attracted the attention of everyone present, bing the focal point of eight Void Magic Warriors.


    In the eyes of these warriors, Rocky stood alone on the bow of the Thunderhawk, with Liliya at his side. The two seemed rxed and at ease, and when they noticed everyone else, Rocky even smiled and waved at them!


    This scene stunned all eight Void Magic Warriors, all d in fourth-generation armors, as they were taken aback by Rocky, who wore merely a Blood Pattern Mark II.


    But after a brief shock and surprise, they each had different reactions.


    For Karina''s side, of course, there was excitement because the appearance of Rocky and Liliya undoubtedly signified that the ground battle had ended, meaning their of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group had been upied by them!


    Such an oue was naturally what Karina most wished to see, so morale immediately soared.


    Simrly, Kilov also had a notable reaction upon seeing Rocky and Liliya, but it was not excitement he felt; instead, his heart sank.


    He might not know who these two people were, but he did know that the person in front of him, donning only a Blood Pattern Mark II, was the very same who had led an attack on his base earlier. And upon seeing Rocky, he also immediately realized that his base might have fallen.


    However, that wasn''t what concerned Kilov the most, because even if his base had been captured, as long as they could win the ongoing air battle, the base would eventually be retaken. After all, ground troops, no matter how strong, couldn''t possibly match the air force.


    So what truly worried Kilov wasn''t his base, but rather Rocky and Liliya, and the Thunderhawk theymanded!


    At this moment, the battle in the skies had entered its most dogged phase. While both fleets had been entangled in a melee for a while, no clear winner had emerged yet. Under such circumstances, the entry of a main warship and two Void Magic Warriors into battle would undoubtedly greatly influence the oue—an oue Kilov did not wish to see!


    "Stop them!"


    Thinking of the severe consequences that would follow Rocky and the Thunderhawk joining the battle, Kilov immediately shouted out and, without waiting for others to act, he charged towards the Thunderhawk with all his might!


    Kilov was donning a fourth-generation armor, which was the best-performing one of the Mass Production Type, so he elerated instantly. Almost before his voice had faded, he was already flying towards the Thunderhawk.


    Facing Kilov''s rapidly approaching figure, Liliya took off but was blocked by Rocky, who stood at the bow. Then, instead of letting Liliya fly out to engage, Rocky even waved at the speeding Kilov, as if saying goodbye.


    This gesture infuriated Kilov, who, in a roar of rage, cranked up the speed of his armor to its limit, moving even faster.

    However, just as he increased his speed, Karina''s figure caught up with him at a pace too fast for the naked eye to follow, instantly blocking his way!
