Lord of the Sky City

After setting the schedule for departure, Rocky and Karina visited Lingyu City that very evening to bid farewell to Berg.

For this occasion, Berg specifically hosted an extraordinarily grand ball, inviting all the prominent figures from the three cities to send them off. At the same time, he used the opportunity of the send-off to facilitate a deeper understanding and interaction between the cities, which could be considered killing two birds with one stone.

The next day, Rocky's Thunderhawk City and Karina's Rose City activated their flight mode and left the airspace of Lingyu City together, heading for the base of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group!

Two Sky Cities flying side by side in the sky was a rare and magnificent sight.

Unfortunately, the land was now occupied by demons, and no one could appreciate this grand scene. A few demons did see it, but they only roared at the sky a couple of times and that was all.

"Have your troops been well arranged?"

Standing on the deck of the Thunderhawk alongside Rocky, Karina asked.

Although the two cities were flying side by side at the moment, shuttling between them was not very convenient. Thus, under these circumstances, Rocky simply offered the Thunderhawk as a platform for him and Karina to meet.

"You needn't worry about my troops..." Glancing at Karina, Rocky smiled, "Karina, you're a bit too nervous."

Indeed, Karina was quite nervous at the moment, but it was understandable. After all, Berg had said that in the eyes of others, the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group might just be a gang of bandits, but to Karina, they meant much more; the group was like a knot in her heart—an existence she had always intended to erase.

"I just don't want any accidents to happen."

Looking back at Rocky, Karina said expressionlessly.

"Don't worry, no accidents will happen here,"

Rocky chuckled, full of confidence.

He had great faith in his Guard Corps for a couple of reasons. Firstly, he had distributed all three hundred sets of newly crafted Mana Equipment to the guards, giving each of them a brand-new set which would undoubtedly improve the overall strength of the Guard Corps by a large margin.

Moreover, despite the guards disappearing from public view after the mission in Backhill Village with no battle credits or participation in any fights, they had not slacked off. On the contrary, under the leadership of Monte and Lin Feng, the Guard Corps had been training intensively during this downtime. The young men were eager and more than ready for a proper battle.

Therefore, not only did Karina have high hopes for the Guard Corps, but Rocky himself was also filled with anticipation for them!

With that being the case, Rocky naturally felt confident.

This confidence was something Karina could sense as well, and so she did not pursue the matter further. Instead, she began to discuss the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group.

"The base of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group is hidden in the Traceless Battlefield."

"The Traceless Battlefield... the location of the Battle of Traceless?"

When Karina mentioned where the base of the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group was hidden, Rocky first blinked in surprise and then his eyes widened, while Karina simply nodded in confirmation.

Seeing Karina nod, Rocky inhaled sharply—the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group sure had guts to hide out in the Traceless Battlefield!

What kind of place was the Traceless Battlefield?

To clarify this matter, one has to mention the Battle of Traceless, a battle so famous that literate or not, everyone would certainly know of it.

For this battle was the very first grand war waged by the people of this world against the Demons!

Over a hundred years ago, the Demons suddenly descended from the Otherworld and quickly occupied vast stretches of land—and indeed, this is true. Yet, this statement might give the false impression that the people put up no resistance at all, which couldn't be further from the truth.

In fact, during the Demons' occupation of the land, the people not only resisted but also engaged in an immensely massive battle.

That battle was the Battle of Traceless.

Since this is a history of more than a hundred years ago, the various accounts of this battle have long since become legend, their accuracy difficult to ascertain.

Yet, while the details of the events might be hard to verify, the data regarding this battle has been completely preserved. And just through these lifeless figures, it's possible to understand the scale of that monumental battle.

The battle lasted an entire three months, with a staggering participation of three and a half million people, which included humans, Elves, Beastmen, Dwarves, and many other races. It could be said that for this battle, all races of the world united, forming an unprecedentedly massive Allied Forces.

During those three months of warfare, the Allied Forces clashed with the Demons almost daily. According to records, even the smallest scale engagement involved more than ten thousand participants—and that was just on the Allied Forces' side.

Larger battles with over a hundred thousand participants were common, and when the final decisive battle came, the number of troops deployed by the Allies reached a staggering one million!

A battle of this magnitude was unprecedented and remains unmatched, arguably the largest-scale conflict in the history of this world.

And it was at this very location that is now known as the Traceless Battlefield.

Today, a hundred years later, the Traceless Battlefield has become a name for a place, and the name of a dead land at that. This is because the battle of that year was too fierce, completely damaging the landscape and rendering the battlefield's environment extremely harsh. Not only has it become an uninhabited area, but even the Demons are reluctant to venture there.

"To actually hide in such a dangerous place…"

Rocky frowned deeply and couldn't help but glance at Karina, "If I remember correctly, Sky City flight is prohibited over the Traceless Battlefield. How are we supposed to get in?"

Having read some material about the Traceless Battlefield in books, Rocky remembered that the weather conditions of this dead land were very bad, preventing Sky City from entering. So how would they get in?

"Sky City certainly won't work, but a Skyship can," Karina replied to his concerns as if she had already considered them, then explained further: "The weather at the Traceless Battlefield is indeed severe, but if the Skyship maintains low-altitude flight, it can still get through. We'll just have to park Sky City on the outskirts of the battlefield then."

"Are you sure?" Experience more content on empire

"Certain."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Karina nodded with conviction, appearing quite confident, yet she gave Rocky a look, "Rocky, it would be best to inform your Guard Corps about this and get them mentally prepared. After all, the weather over the Traceless Battlefield may be severe, but the conditions on the ground are even worse…"
