LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 621: Chapter 583: City of Fury Chapter 621: Chapter 583: City of Fury Athena’s words made Rocky think for a long time—chess pieces and players…

Was he ready to play a game with the myriad players in the sky?

Rocky didn’t know the answer to that question, or perhaps he didn’t even need to know, because the world wouldn’t give anyone time to prepare for such things.

But without a doubt, as he chose to stand alone against Heavenly Ancestor City, this seemingly inconspicuous decision had pushed him inexorably from a chess piece to a player’s position, and that much was certain.

Thus, Rocky was very clear about what he had to do—he couldn’t rely on anyone anymore. Everything that happened from now on depended solely on himself. This was the price to be paid for becoming a player, but from then on, no one could be above him, even the Sky Alliance to him was merely an opponent in the same sky, nothing more.

It must be said that from the moment he discovered an unidentified Sky City entering his territory to the night when he made a decision that would significantly affect him, it all happened in just one evening—what transpired that night was critical indeed.

And now that he had made his decision, when the sun rose the next day, Rocky boarded his War Steed and led his entire fleet out of Sky City’s Defensive Net to wait for the enemy’s arrival in midair.

Although he had participated in the great battle between the Sky Alliance and the Kafka Empire, Rocky’s fleet hadn’t changed much because he always used hit-and-run tactics at the beginning of the war, barely engaging the enemy directly. By the middle and later stages of the war, he had received reinforcements from the Alliance Army, and later he simply stayed in the war zone on his own, so his troops never suffered great losses.

After the war ended, he was too busy with travel, first visiting the Mairente Family, then the ruins of Kasin City, and in between, he also formed a partnership with the Apple Tree Corporation. He never had the energy or financial resources to expand his fleet, so his fleet remained three—the First, Second, and Third Fleet of Thunderhawk City.

Among the three fleets, the First Fleet had the most formidable configuration, with the battleship War Steed and the patrol cruiser Hunter, plus four destroyers and four escort ships, making up a total of ten large warships, and forming Rocky’s most powerful fleet.

In contrast, the Second and Third Fleets were somewhat less well-equipped. The flagship of the Second Fleet was the Thunderhawk, also entirely composed of large warships numbering ten, but all of them were escort ships. As for the Third Fleet, it was even smaller, with only four escort ships, the rest being Reconnaissance Ships.

To be fair, such a fleet might be described as extremely strong among smaller Sky Cities, but in reality, Rocky was well aware that he had fallen behind in the development of his fleet. This was not due to his high standards, but because the enemies he faced were all too strong!

Previously, the enemies Rocky faced were either the Mairente Family or Wild Horse City; he had almost never fought against similar-sized small Sky Cities. The opponents he faced were all giants, at worst medium-sized Sky Cities, and this situation would continue, with his opponents only getting stronger. Under these circumstances, he indeed needed to increase the size of his fleet.

Fortunately, even if the fleet’s size and quality had fallen somewhat behind, at least for today’s situation, he was still confident that he could handle it. So, when he led his troops away from Thunderhawk City, he began a quiet wait for the uninvited guests to arrive.

Before long, the time approached noon, and it was at this time that a huge city gradually appeared in the sky east of Backhill Village. After a long wait, the unwelcome guest intruding on Rocky’s territory had finally arrived!

Gazing into the clouds at the unidentified Sky City, Rocky recognized at a glance that it was a large Sky City!

Soon after, as the other party drew nearer, a large fleet flew out from the Sky City.

At a glance, this fleet comprised at least around fifty ships, all large warships. The flagship was also a battleship, an even larger flagship version with hundreds of Magic Energy Cannons—like a flying hill, vast and immense.

As the enemy fleet left the Sky City and drew near, Rocky waved his hand, and the War Steed slowly moved forward, flying towards the approaching ships.

With the War Steed in motion, within minutes, the two sides encountered each other.

On one side was a massive fleet of over fifty warships sent by the unknown large Sky City.

On the other, Rocky on his War Steed.

A fleet and a single warship thus met in the sky.

“Contact them, ask them to identify themselves and their intentions.”

Once both sides stopped at a safe distance, Rocky spoke to Uncle Wil by his side. Receiving the order, Uncle Wil immediately ran to the bridge and returned shortly after.

“City Lord, they say they are the forces of the City of Fury, here to pick up Zuluo.”

“As expected…”

Rocky nodded at this response. It seemed that, as he had suspected, they were indeed from the Heavenly Ancestor City’s forces.

Despite seeming preoccupied with the possibility of being targeted, he had actually obtained information about Heavenly Ancestor City from the Shadow Alliance, thanks to capturing Zuluo.

This information mentioned the City of Fury before him.

It is well known that Zuluo’s father, Rick, was both the City Lord and the Sect Hierarch, and his Heavenly Ancestor City was also a large Sky City as well as the sacred city of the Heavenly Ancestor Church. However, the Heavenly Ancestor Church wasn’t limited to just one sacred city; in addition to the sacred city, there were four other large Sky Cities—Sky Might, Fury, Heaven’s Commencement, and Heaven’s Grace—making up the Church’s forces along with Heavenly Ancestor City.

And since the large Sky City before him was the City of Fury, there was no doubt that this city represented the Heavenly Ancestor Church.

So, after nodding, Rocky said to Uncle Wil by his side, “Go and tell them if they want me to release Zuluo, they must make adequate compensation, and then let them know our conditions for the compensation.”

“Yes!”

With his reply, Uncle Wil once again ran to the bridge.
