Hearing the heavenly general’s words, Conlay was the first to feel upset. Of course, he knew why the heavenly general said that and what his purpose was. However, he despised such people who were good at misleading others the most. That was why he was reduced from being a prince of the fire phoenix royal family to only being in charge of this desert oasis. “No citizen of the desert oasis is a coward. If you want to harm our friend, we can only retaliate,” Conlay said loudly. He waved his hand, and the artillery and electromagnetic guns were launched at once. A huge roar sounded. Air currents surged wildly. It was Philip’s first time seeing a sky fortress launching an attack. This scene was overwhelming, and Philip was shocked. With just one round of attack, the carriage brought by the heavenly general was blown to pieces in an instant. The heavenly general did not expect Conlay to be so aggressive, attacking him at the first sign of conflict. He was a member of the ancient Heavenly Court, which had always been a special force outside the several royal families. Seeing that a floating city in a small desert oasis dared to attack him, how could he not be angry? Although the heavenly general was in a miserable state, the artillery and electromagnetic guns did not cause any substantial damage to him.
“I think you must be tired of living. All fleets, aim at this floating city and destroy it!” With this order, the vast fleet behind the heavenly general aimed their guns at the floating city. Conlay merely smiled at this scene. “Activate the shield.” Immediately, Philip saw a layer of faint light appear over the floating city and desert oasis. Although Philip knew something about such protective shields, what could it do in such a large-scale battle? With that doubt in mind, Philip got ready to make a move. After all, this happened because of him, so he did not want to implicate others. However, the people of the ancient Heavenly Court were obviously not about to give him this chance. The fleets sprang into action. Roars sounded again. The fire phoenix general and the guards of the fire phoenix royal family watched from a distance. “Heavenly General, go ahead and fight. When the mighty being returns, he’ll definitely seek an explanation from your ancient Heavenly Court!” The fire phoenix general watched everything with narrowed eyes. He had his plans too. Apart from killing Philip, he also wanted to take this opportunity to kill Conlay Nox, the banished prince.
