LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 599: Chapter 562: Seeing the Sun Again Chapter 599: Chapter 562: Seeing the Sun Again The arrival of the Moving Fortress not only stirred up Howling Sky, but nearly everyone around Backhill Village was excited, and anyone who could, visited in person. Those who couldn’t visit were also filled with curiosity, quickly making it the focal point of everyone’s discussions.

As for this, Rocky and Karina did not do anything to stop it. The Moving Fortress was too large to hide, so instead of being secretive, they preferred to be open about it. Moreover, they had control over all the related documents about the fortress, so even if outsiders saw the fortress, they wouldn’t understand the specific details.

After conducting a comprehensive observation of the fortress, Howling Sky and Glan immediately reported to the Sky Alliance. They were not just spectators; as the Alliance Ambassador and a core member of the Alliance, both had exceptional abilities and insights. After witnessing the magnificence of the Moving Fortress, they immediately realized its importance to the Alliance.

For other cities in the Sky City, the Moving Fortress might not be essential, as they generally had no contact with the land. However, the Sky Alliance was different—it occupied many resources on the land and had multiple bases there, so being able to build such grand fortresses would undoubtedly be beneficial in securing their ground-based assets.

Under these circumstances, the two of them promptly reported the matter to the Alliance. Naturally, they didn’t do this in secret, as one was the Alliance’s ambassador dispatched to Thunderhawk City and the other was in charge of defending Rocky’s Backhill Village. They both interacted regularly with Rocky and didn’t want this issue to cause any tension between them, so they subtly informed Rocky and expressed that they would report this to the Alliance.

Meanwhile, Aniye and others also rushed over upon hearing the news. Unlike others who could visit the Moving Fortress, even Howling Sky and Glan could only see it from the outside. They couldn’t go inside, but Aniye and his companions went directly into the fortress, thoroughly understood its structure and design, and then started their research based on the information they collected.

Even Aniye and his team couldn’t help but marvel after personally seeing and reviewing the documents related to the Moving Fortress.

When Rocky told them about his operation, Aniye and Hammerfire had both advised him not to have too much hope. Back then, the Wanzhong Kingdom was just a minor country. Even if it was conducting some independent research, factors like national strength hindered significant developments. However, the appearance of the Moving Fortress broke this notion because even Aniye had to admit that while the fortress might not have many notable technical aspects, the thought process behind it was something everyone should learn from!

The director of the research institute had specifically mentioned in his notes that the inspiration for the Moving Fortress came from Sky City, but with a changed perspective. It was this shift in thinking that created such a colossal structure.

This made Aniye reflect—what would the world have become if, a hundred years ago, people had first designed the Moving Fortress, or rather, the moving city, that the Wanzhong Kingdom initially planned, instead of Sky City?

No one knows the answer to this question, but had that situation occurred, the world might have been very different now, right?

However, regardless of what could have, the Moving Fortress had now been discovered, and all the documents had fallen into the hands of Rocky and Karina. This meant that this gigantic weapon, hidden away for a century, finally had a chance to see the light of day again, which was ultimately for certain.

So after this, Aniye and his team temporarily put aside their current work to fully research the Moving Fortress.

Previously, Orton had also reviewed the data and understood the fortress to some extent, but due to the urgency of the situation, he didn’t have time to study it in detail. Therefore, after returning to Backhill Village, he and Aniye naturally had to reexamine all the collected data carefully to truly understand the role of this enormous structure.

While others were busy due to the appearance of the Moving Fortress, Rocky and Karina were also occupied with a more important matter—discussing how to divide the spoils of war.

The Moving Fortress wasn’t discovered by just one person, nor brought back by one person. The fact that this colossal structure was unearthed was entirely due to the efforts of both Rocky and Karina. So the question arose—how should it be divided?

Actually, the pair had discussed this issue before, as this wasn’t their first time cooperating. So initially, they had decided everything found would be shared equally. However, reality proved unexpected—they had never imagined finding such a behemoth, and even more critically, there was only one Moving Fortress. How could it be evenly split? You certainly couldn’t just cut it in half.

Both had to carefully consider this matter, as it was not just about the benefits but also about maintaining their long-standing good relationship. Otherwise, any slight mistake in the division of interests could cause problems between Rocky and Karina, which neither wanted to see.

For this reason, the two had a frank and private discussion, excluding all outsiders, about how to divide the benefits. They chose a unique method of elimination to settle on how to share the spoils from this venture.

“What about joint ownership?”

Seated across from each other in the City Lord’s study room in Rose City, Rocky and Karina looked as if they were just having a casual chat.

“No,”

Karina shook her head upon hearing this. “I don’t have a land base, and I don’t have masters like Orton and Aniye by my side. Joint ownership means it all goes to you. However, I would consider it if you would let me establish a base in Backhill Village.”

“Heh heh,”

Rocky laughed softly on hearing this and didn’t reply.

“I’ll trade my share for the ongoing research on Armor Technology. The Moving Fortress and all related research data would be yours, and I would own a share in the development of the White Demon Armor. What do you think?”

When Rocky chuckled, Karina spoke up. Although the Moving Fortress was impressive, as she had said earlier, without a land base or a development team, its utility for her was limited. In reality, she was more interested in the Armor Technology that Rocky was developing!
