LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 618: Chapter 580 Alliance Attitude Chapter 618: Chapter 580 Alliance Attitude The renovation of the Moving Fortress was going smoothly, especially after Rocky provided an additional one million in research funding; the transformation became even more seamless. Now, the only issue was time.

This time, the overhaul of the Moving Fortress wasn’t a trivial matter but a comprehensive upgrade from the inside out. First was the improvement of the fortress’s systems, which belonged to the software category. Once the software was updated, the fortress’s weapons would also be replaced. If possible, Aniye and the others hoped to upgrade the entire structure of the fortress to make it more suitable for current combat situations. Therefore, it was definitely a major project, not something that could be completed overnight.

Fortunately, at this time, both Backhill Village and Sirius City were around, so defending against the harassment of demons wasn’t a big issue. As long as there wasn’t a massive attack by hundreds or thousands of demons, there wouldn’t be a need for the Moving Fortress to go into battle, so there was time to complete this major project.

In such circumstances, after Rocky inspected the progress of the fortress’s renovation, he went to the armory to check on the production status of Tank Model 2. There was no helping it; as City Lord, he never had a moment’s rest, with too many matters requiring his attention and inquiry.

However, just as he was about to head to the armory, he suddenly received an emergency report and had to return to the City Lord’s Mansion halfway there.

“A Sky City is approaching?”

Back at the City Lord’s Mansion, Rocky saw Felly who had been waiting for some time. He then learned from her that, according to the Reconnaissance Ship’s report, an unknown Sky City had entered Skybreaker Peak’s airspace and was heading towards Backhill Village!

With Backhill Village’s presence, Rocky had essentially taken control of the entire Skybreaker Peak region, which meant that from the sky down to the ground, the entire area was his territory. Anyone who had heard of him knew this, so logically, any Sky City entering this area would notify him in advance. There was no need to mention medium or small Sky Cities; even large ones did the same.

But evidently, the Sky City Felly spoke of hadn’t done so. After entering Skybreaker Peak’s airspace, not only did they not notify Rocky, but they also appeared to be heading straight for Backhill Village from their direction of travel!

Naturally, Felly didn’t dare to take this matter lightly and immediately came to report. When Rocky heard the news, his first thought was of Heavenly Ancestor City.

Calculating the time, it had been over half a month since he had captured Zuluo and kicked out all of Zuluo’s people from Thunderhawk City. The expelled group had clearly returned to Heavenly Ancestor City by now, and as a result, Rick had also sent him an ultimatum. Although Rocky hadn’t responded, it was evident that Rick was aware of the situation.

So it was very likely that the unknown Sky City was sent by Rick.

Only… wasn’t this a bit too fast?

Rick had only sent the ultimatum a few days ago, and even if one started counting from the day the message was sent, the speed at which they arrived was too quick, wasn’t it?

Upon careful thought, Rocky understood the situation. If the approaching Sky City truly was sent by Rick, then he must have dispatched this Sky City before even issuing the ultimatum; otherwise, they couldn’t have arrived so swiftly.

Having realized this, he said to Felly, “Tell all fleets to be ready for combat, prepared to strike at any moment.”

“Yes!”

After affirming, Felly immediately turned and left, and then Rocky looked towards Liliya, “Notify Howling Sky to also be prepared.”

“Yes.”

“No, what I mean is, go to Sirius City personally to see Howling Sky’s reaction.”

“I understand.”

Nodding, Liliya also turned and left. She naturally understood why Rocky wanted her to personally visit Sirius City; he clearly intended to use this opportunity to gauge Howling Sky’s reaction, to put it bluntly, to assess the Sky Alliance’s stance.

“It’s finally coming…”

And once Liliya had also left, Rocky closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his gaze was filled with a piercing sharpness!

It was time to see who was stirring trouble in the shadows!

……

……

The Skybreaker Peak region was vast. One was considered to have entered its territory as soon as the towering peak reaching into the clouds came into view. However, since Rocky was located in Backhill Village right at the base of Skybreaker Peak, it would still take some time to reach there, especially at the pace of Sky City, which was considerably slow. From the moment they entered the region, it would take at least a whole day’s time to arrive at Backhill Village.

Compared to that, Sirius City was not far outside Backhill Village, so Liliya, who went to communicate with Howling Sky, quickly returned to Thunderhawk City, and she brought back good news!

Howling Sky agreed to send troops!

Hearing this news, Rocky breathed a sigh of relief because Howling Sky was not only the City Lord; he represented not just Sirius City. At least to Rocky, he signified the attitude of the Sky Alliance, and since he agreed to send troops, it indirectly represented the Alliance’s stance.

This attitude was crucial. It meant that even if there were those conspiring against Rocky in the shadows, the Alliance was not involved, which was very important.

“It seems that things haven’t gotten to the worst case scenario.”

After letting out a breath of relief, Rocky turned to Athena, “Athena, what do you think…?”

He had intended to ask Athena what they should do next because if the Alliance was on their side, they would have much more leeway to maneuver and could adopt a richer array of strategies. And not to mention, even if Rick’s Heavenly Ancestor City was not acting under someone else’s influence, Rocky wouldn’t be afraid, as he had the backing of the Sky Alliance.

But when he turned toward Athena, he saw her with furrowed brows, completely oblivious to his question.

Such an expression was very rare on Athena’s face.

“Athena?”

Seeing that Athena did not respond, Rocky had no choice but to call her name again, finally bringing her back to reality.

“My Lord, if the Sky Alliance stands with us…”

As Athena came back to her senses and looked at Rocky, she paused after half a sentence before continuing, “If that’s the case, then we can strike first.”

“A proactive strike?”

“Yes, we can…”

As she spoke, Athena shared her thoughts. When she finished, not only was Rocky stunned, but everyone present was petrified.

At that moment, everyone had the same thought: Was Athena’s approach… too extreme?

Meanwhile, just as Rocky and others had settled their nerves to prepare a full offensive against Heavenly Ancestor City, Howling Sky in Sirius City received an emergency notification from the Alliance!

“What?”

Looking at the Alliance Ambassador within the city, Howling Sky’s face showed two expressions, one of confusion and the other of difficulty, “Are you certain this is the Alliance’s intention?”

“Yes, it’s the decision of the Elders’ Council.”

Just like Howling Sky, the face of the Alliance Ambassador responsible for conveying the message was filled with confusion and incomprehension, but still, he firmly stated, “The Alliance hopes everything will be done by the rules. If Rocky wants support, he must pay sufficient Contribution Points; otherwise, Sirius City has no obligation to protect him…”
