Chapter 419: The Fight Between Swordmasters
Boom! Boom!
From behind enemy lines, a series of booming cannon blasts resounded. The projectiles shot toward the city barrier, and once they hit—
Boom! Boom!
Explosions roared as the projectiles struck the barrier, creating ripples across its surface. The lightning cannon on the flying fortress began recharging, crackling with energy once more. Though a crack had formed in its structure, it could still fire a lightning beam—albeit at the cost of further damaging its front section.
Baron Rosalind simply let the cannons strike the barrier; at the very least, he had already blocked one of the lightning cannon’s attacks. Based on his earlier estimation, the flying fortress would need three shots of its lightning beam to break through the barrier.
Though he didn’t know exactly how many energy stones the crew had brought aboard, he guessed they had no more than enough for three full-power shots.
Additionally, the crack he had created on the surface of the lightning cannon would limit its usage. Firing too many times would weaken its structural integrity, rendering it inoperable. With the lightning cannon out of action, the city barrier would hold much longer, allowing him to focus on pushing back the Emperor-stage enemies.
Without any order or warning, Baron Rosalind suddenly shot forward at such high speed that, to most onlookers, he seemed to vanish. However, to Duke Schmidt, his movements were just barely visible. Even for him, Baron Rosalind’s speed was astonishing! Without hesitation, he raised his sword to block the incoming attack.
Ting!
Their swords clashed, sending a powerful gust of wind rippling outward.
Elena and the others had already joined the fray, each picking their own opponents to engage. Though they were outnumbered, they didn’t seem to care and launched their attacks without hesitation. The forces of the Second Prince, well aware of the Rosalind cultivator’s strength, took them seriously despite their numerical advantage.
