Chapter 1928: Chapter 1087: Smoke Lingers Over the Fortress

“Ha ha, you vile otherworld scum and worthless Coldflame Kingdom, your time of death has arrived.”

At ten thousand meters high, within the cockpit of the Blood Skull War Airship Flagship, a fierce-looking, gaunt figure stood with his hands folded behind his back.

His cloudy eyes narrowed slightly as he looked through the lookout, gazing disdainfully at the rapidly approaching Sunset Fortress below, as if scrutinizing prey ripe for the taking.

This was none other than the infamous Blood Skull leader, Rubens.

“Big leader, at last, the time has come to avenge the second leader’s death.”

Beside Rubens, another burly deputy, full of malice, echoed with murderous intent in his eyes, “We will surely make these scum pay an unbearable price!”

“Chad, that reckless fool, deserved to die. He’s not worth this leader’s revenge at all.”

Rubens snorted coldly and said indifferently, “But those vile otherworlders wiped out the second fleet, causing great harm to my reputation, which is unforgivable.”

Speaking of which, Rubens’ gaze became even more filled with killing intent, saying coldly, “I want those otherworlders to understand clearly that they’ve provoked an opponent they cannot afford to offend!”

“Heh, the big leader is right.”

The burly deputy, with a gruff voice, continued to agree, “By the way, who would have thought that Saint King William would choose to cooperate with us? Otherwise, we would have struggled to find such a perfect opportunity for revenge.”

“Indeed, that hypocritical Saint King has always regarded us as mortal enemies, wishing to eliminate us as soon as possible. It’s truly bizarre for him to take the initiative to cooperate with us this time.”

Rubens gently rubbed his chin and shifted his gaze back to the still smoke-filled aerial battlefield on the other side.

Under the siege of hundreds of Grim Kingdom’s battle airships, a deep crimson dragon and a silver-white dragon alternated in circling, relentlessly spewing flames and ear-piercing sound waves, creating a truly astonishing scene.

However, compared to the densely packed Grim Kingdom’s battle airships, the mere two dragons seemed somewhat isolated, like tigers in a wolf pack, seemingly overwhelmed.

“Big leader, that old Saint King actually uses his airship troops to pin down the otherworlder’s defensive and aerial forces, allowing us to strike at the weak point. Could it be that he’s become senile?”

With that, the burly deputy couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Once the Grim Kingdom’s airship troops are completely destroyed, the surrounding airspace will belong to us!”

“Maybe that Saint King really has become senile.”

After pondering for a while, Rubens couldn’t discern any ulterior motives and nodded thoughtfully, “Perhaps he knows our combat power is extraordinary, and he has no choice but to cooperate with us, just to increase the chances of eliminating those otherworld scum.”

“But big leader, there’s one thing I can’t figure out. Saint King William has always remained neutral with the otherworld scum and the Coldflame Kingdom. Yet, this time, the Five Kingdoms’ Grand Army, he’s the most proactive. What could be the reason for this?”

The burly deputy tilted his massive head, full of jest, “I wonder how those otherworld scum offended the old Saint King?”

“Who cares, anyway, those otherworld scum and the Coldflame Kingdom are doomed this time.”

A gloating smile appeared on Rubens’ gaunt face, his eyes filled with an even more noticeable killing intent, “In any case, let us Blood Skull shatter the Barrier Wall of the Sunset Fortress, bringing death and destruction to this land.”

“The big leader is correct. I’m already eager to wreak havoc on the lands of the Coldflame Kingdom.”

The burly deputy’s smile turned lewd as he licked his chapped lips.

With that, the two of them looked at the ever-approaching Sunset Fortress below and burst into hearty laughter simultaneously.

“Give the order; prepare the entire fleet for bombing, advance full speed towards the target, and let us turn that Sunset Fortress into a searing purgatory!”

…

“Another battle airship troop! And it seems like it’s the merciless Blood Skull again!”

On the city wall of the fortress, looking at the suddenly arriving sky pirate fleet, our soldiers, who had just started to gain composure, once again grew tense.

Facing the increasingly fierce Magic Guided Cannon Fire and countless arrows from the Grim Kingdom below the city, even though our Absolute Defense Barrier has been re-stabilized, anyone can see it’s far less bright and full as it initially was.

This means if subjected to additional fierce attacks, the Absolute Defense Barrier might be destroyed, signaling the beginning of ruin!

Noticing the increasingly heavy atmosphere around her, Ariel Watson found herself more and more helpless.

Lord Ray fought for such a long time and, with the cooperation of our anti-air firepower, brought down over 300 battle airships.

Yet now, with the same number of enemies reappearing, it’s indeed overwhelming.

Just as Ariel Watson was full of tension, the steady voice of Leo Ray mingled with the howling wind reached her ears, “Don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything. Just focus on the ground defense.”

Hearing the Lord’s calm voice, Ariel Watson’s tense expression eased, her stellar eyes once again firmed up.
