Chapter 413 : Chapter 413 : Knocking Down Sky City!
Lin Zhen finished watching Diana’s performance and let out a gentle sigh.
“As expected, Diana took this step. This woman is decisive enough to abandon her identity as Empire Earl and even confront the Empire head-on.”
Next to Lin Zhen, the Archangel said, “Master, is she not afraid of being enemies with the Tianhe Empire? Although she is a Venus Asura, she shouldn’t be able to withstand the empire if they’re serious.”
“Of course she can’t withstand it. However, she is cunning, sending back all the soldiers who obey the empire’s orders and commanding them to close communication. Now these soldiers cannot receive the empire’s orders, and those who remain are her absolute confidants, she can naturally do whatever she wants.”
“Even if the empire wants to send new troops to deal with her, it will take nearly three years to get here. By that time, she will be long gone.”
Jason asked Lin Zhen, “What do we do now?”
“What can we do? Fight them when they come, cover up when they do. It’s time to fight them.”
Lin Zhen turned around and said to the pirates who had already prepared behind him, “Brothers, haven’t you been eager to fight all day? Now the opportunity has come. Diana’s Sky City is coming from North America, and the Tianhe Empire soldiers on it are now traitors. We won’t bear any consequences for killing them. Do you dare to do it?”
“Awesome! I’ve been waiting for this day!”
“Master, give the order. We’ve long had a grudge against these Tianhe soldiers.”
“That’s right, when they caught us, we thought we had no chance to retaliate. We didn’t expect this opportunity to come so soon!”
The pirates were making a racket, all of them incredibly passionate.
Their lives were spent licking blood off their knives. They used to be relentlessly hunted by the Tianhe Empire’s troops. Now they finally have a legitimate opportunity to fight back, and they couldn’t wait.
“Don’t be so excited; there will definitely be opportunities.”
Lin Zhen smiled and then connected to the top of Hua Xia, “Have all the personnel at Capital Base City been transferred?”
“Yes, Mr. Lin Zhen. Following your instructions, we have urgently transferred everyone to the underground project within a few hours.”
“That’s good. Don’t come out until you’re notified.”
Lin Zhen cut off the communication and closed his eyes to think for a moment.
Diana lost to him in the Asura Arena, but she still dared to come over, which meant that she got help from someone else.
As for who the reinforcements were, it was obvious: the Anderson family members.
Lin Zhen didn’t know how strong the Anderson family was, but no matter how strong they were, he didn’t have a second choice now.
“Everyone, get ready. The enemy only has two large warships, one Sky City, and one War Fortress. Currently, the War Fortress is still at Ancient God City. As long as we take down Sky City, we win this battle.”
As soon as Lin Zhen finished speaking, Ronnie at the control panel of the Black Pearl said, “Master, the War Fortress at Ancient God City has been activated and is rapidly returning. It is expected to arrive at the same time as Sky City.”
The pirates nearby clenched their faces. The Black Pearl’s technology was good, but it had no advantage against Sky City. With the addition of a War Fortress designed for air warfare, the battle situation was worrying.
Lin Zhen thought for a moment, “We still have to fight. We must take down Sky City. Diana’s attempt to conquer the world relies on this large warship. If she loses Sky City, she will have to play a solo game.”
On the radar screen, two lights rapidly approached from the Pacific Ocean and the Middle East Area, and about ten minutes later, they were both above Capital Base City.
“Here they come! Everyone, get ready for battle!”
The protective shields of the Black Pearl were activated, and all firepower was in firing mode.
“No need to wait, attack! Target: Sky City!”
Lin Zhen pointed to the distance, where a dark line appeared on the horizon – the soaring city in the air.
The Black Pearl was also a warship that could carry tens of thousands of people, but compared to Sky City, it was truly miniature; that warship could carry hundreds of millions of people.
Facing such a behemoth, the Black Pearl’s biggest advantage was its agility.
It activated its protective shield and charged at five times the speed of sound, while at the same time, the missiles on the warship began to fire.
“Get closer! As long as we’re near, we can instantly teleport onto Sky City and infiltrate it to cause damage!” Archangel Jason shouted excitedly.
Seeing Lin Zhen’s warship flying towards her, Diana sneered, “Activate the protective shield and see if you can break it.”
A yellow hazy light shield appeared above Sky City. This light shield could not only block attacks but also prevent Martial Artists from teleporting. Unless the protective shield was broken, no one could infiltrate Sky City.
And the defensive strength of this light shield could withstand the full attack of a Star System Stage Expert!
Missiles from the Black Pearl hit the protective shield, igniting bursts of flames, but they failed to break the shield, only slightly changing its color.
“Master, we can’t break it. As long as they have energy block reserves and our attack doesn’t exceed their defense threshold, Sky City’s shield is invincible,” said Ronnie.
Lin Zhen looked at Ronnie, “Can’t it be broken by even Black Pearl’s strongest firepower?”
“No, although they can’t break our protective shield either, our warship is smaller, and we don’t have as many energy blocks in reserve. In the long run, we’ll still lose. Unless…”.
“Unless what?” Lin Zhen asked.
“Unless our warship burns up its energy block reserves and then flies at the fastest speed to collide with them. This way, we can reach nearly a hundred times the speed of sound, and the impact force will be comparable to that of an asteroid, which can then break the Sky City’s shield.”
Before Lin Zhen could answer, the War Fortress was rapidly approaching on the radar screen behind him.
The Black Pearl found itself caught in a pincer attack.
“Master, it’s bad. The War Fortress is coming. If they launch a pincer attack, we’ll be in great danger.”
As Ronnie had just warned, Diana’s voice echoed through the sky from Sky City.
“Hahaha, Lin Zhen! You’re out of options now. Let this old lady send you on your way!”
“Fire! Block the space above, below, left, and right of the Black Pearl, leaving them nowhere to hide!”
Sky City finally opened fire, and countless weapons spewed tongues of flame or energy light columns, covering the area around the Black Pearl.
Meanwhile, the War Fortress behind them was also accelerating and quickly opening fire.
With enemies on both sides, the Black Pearl’s only way out was to head towards Sky City.
“It’s bad. Diana is forcing us to collide with their airship. If we collide, we may break through the energy shield, but our airship will be destroyed, and we’ll all die.”
“Accelerate and ram through!”
Lin Zhen resolutely gave the order.
The surrounding pirates were shocked, but Lin Zhen was their master, and they had to obey him absolutely.
Besides, Lin Zhen’s family was on the airship, so he couldn’t possibly choose suicide.
The Black Pearl began to accelerate, burning through its energy block reserves.
As if a passage was born in the air, the Black Pearl charged towards Sky City like a madman.
Missiles flew past, and the Black Pearl’s protective shield erupted in flames.
What people somewhat overlooked was that, despite the Black Pearl’s accelerated flight, the War Fortress still pursued closely without being shaken off!
Diana looked at the fast-approaching Black Pearl and sneered, “Lin Zhen, your Black Pearl is finished. I hope you can survive this. Otherwise, my five hundred million cash will be wasted.”
“Master, we’ll collide in five seconds!” Ronnie said to Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen’s face was calm as he watched the rapidly approaching Sky City.
They were surrounded by energy columns, but none of them hit the Black Pearl – all in order to force them to collide.
Turning now meant certain destruction from powerful missiles, and they still wouldn’t break through Sky City’s shield.
“Fly upwards in three seconds!”
As Lin Zhen left this sentence, he was already on the airship. He raised his hand, and a planet appeared, directly facing the incoming missiles!
“Boom!”
The explosion’s massive shockwave hit, and Lin Zhen had already returned to the airship. At the same time, the Black Pearl quickly gained altitude!
Whoosh~~~~!!!
A flash of light swept by, and the Black Pearl flew out from above Sky City.
“They got away!”
Diana was stunned. Lin Zhen actually refused to collide. Didn’t he know that as long as Sky City’s shield wasn’t broken, she, Diana, was invincible?
The Black Pearl could hide, but could everyone else in the world?
“You ran away, so I’ll destroy this world!” Diana gritted her teeth and cut off.
“Miss Diana, it’s not good. Look at that!”
Diana turned her head sharply and saw, on the big screen, no… it wasn’t necessary to look at the big screen anymore. Through the glass of the control panel, she could see that the War Fortress outside was accelerating and charging towards them!
“What… Ya Xuan, this bastard must be crazy! How could he let the War Fortress collide with us!”
“Quick! Intercept and destroy them!” Diana roared hoarsely.
“It’s too late. They’re going to collide! Oh…no!”
As the people inside the airship screamed, the War Fortress, while burning its energy reserves, slammed straight into Sky City’s protective shield!
Boom~~~~!!!
The sky and the earth trembled at this moment. Sky City’s unbreakable shield collapsed under the full force of the War Fortress’s impact.
The War Fortress caught fire and exploded, scattering debris everywhere. But Sky City’s life-sustaining shield was gone. Although it could still be repaired, it was now impossible to do so immediately, and they were now exposed to the Black Pearl’s guns.
