Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 859: Chapter 841: Ascend the City Wall!

Originally, the trench dug earlier, combined with the fleet’s intense bombardment, had managed to keep the Demons outside Qingyuan City. But with the arrival of the Flying Demons, everything changed.

The appearance of the Flying Demons immediately disrupted Bernardo’s defensive rhythm. The warships, which had been focusing on ground bombardments, faced a severe threat. Though he promptly deployed the Void Magic Corps to provide escort, the overwhelming difference in numbers was insurmountable. Even with the Void Magic Corps fighting desperately to intercept, a significant number of Demons managed to break through toward the fleet. To ensure the fleet could still function in combat, the Fleet Commander had no choice but to reassign some warships, shifting their firepower from the ground to target the Flying Demons.

That was the turning point. Already stretched thin to provide adequate defensive firepower for Qingyuan City, the fleet could only barely hold off the ground Demon assault. The reassignment of warships immediately weakened the ground firepower, allowing more Demons to break through the firepower net and surge forward.

Still, thankfully, the trench was able to play its role. Even though more Demons emerged from the smoke, more were still falling into the trench, and the situation seemed temporarily under control.
