Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 629 - 591 Changes Arriving

Chapter 629: Chapter 591: Changes Arriving Chapter 629: Chapter 591: Changes Arriving The greatest challenge Rocky faced now was how to break through the blockade imposed by the City of Fury on himself, and the only ones who could achieve this were Howling Sky and his Sirius City.

Therefore, Rocky reached out to Howling Sky, asking him to send merchant ships to Eternal City to transport goods for the Ruby Chamber of Commerce, and he promised that for every round trip made by each merchant ship sent by Howling Sky, he would pay a fee of ten thousand Gold Coins!

For a large Sky City, ten thousand Gold Coins for a round trip might not seem much, but what if it were ten ships making ten trips each? That would amount to a million Gold Coins in fees, a revenue so tempting that even Howling Sky couldn’t resist!

With the capabilities Rocky possessed at the moment, he had to nourish two Sky Cities under his command, and both cities were packed with numerous industries. Everything, from raw materials to finished products, required constant transportation by merchant ships. Thus, as soon as Howling Sky agreed to his request, it meant that he didn’t need to do anything but earn a huge income of millions of Gold Coins by simply running errands!

This proposition immediately dissolved Howling Sky’s resentment. Initially, he was somewhat displeased with Rocky using him as a shield, but the prospect of earning millions in Gold Coins made him not mind lending Rocky a small favor, so he agreed without hesitation.

With Howling Sky’s nod of approval, the greatest crisis Rocky faced was resolved. Although this solution came at a considerable cost, it did not matter—this was merely a temporary measure for Rocky, as he had other means to completely resolve the crisis afterward.

Afterward, he contacted Archimonde to inquire about the situation of the Apple Tree Corporation.

Based on Athena’s prediction, when Backhill Village was blockaded, the two corporations that were most affected were probably only the Ruby Chamber of Commerce and the Apple Tree Corporation. After all, it was well known worldwide that both corporations had clear cooperative relations with Rocky, so with the Ruby Chamber of Commerce already heavily damaged, the Apple Tree Corporation must have been impacted as well.

Indeed, just as Rocky had thought, a few days ago, a merchant ship from the Apple Tree Corporation bound for Thunderhawk City was stopped by the Fleet of the City of Fury. However, compared to the aggressive approach taken with the Ruby Chamber of Commerce, the City of Fury was much more ‘polite’ to the merchant ships of the Apple Tree Corporation, merely driving them out of the Backhill Village region without attacking the Escort Fleet or the merchant ships themselves.

This was not surprising, as the Apple Tree Corporation was a true arms giant, unrivaled in the warship sector. Thus, even the City of Fury dared not go too far.

However, Archimonde did not proactively share this information with Rocky because the Apple Tree Corporation planned to handle the matter themselves!

“Are you… sure?”

“Rocky, rest assured, the corporation will send another batch of merchant ships in a few days.”

When Rocky suggested that Archimonde let the corporation use Howling Sky’s trading fleet to go to Thunderhawk City, Archimonde shook his head and confidently assured him that the corporation did not need anyone’s help and that they would be coming again soon. By then, they would see who dared to stop them!

This was the dominance of a great Chamber of Commerce. After the last batch of merchant ships was expelled by the City of Fury, the president of the Apple Tree Corporation, Pansen, was greatly angered, as he saw this act by the City of Fury as cutting off his own means to wealth!

The corporation had only just established a cooperative relationship with Rocky and had immediately secured a large order of Armors. This had inspired the entire Chamber of Commerce, and they were preparing to discuss with Rocky an expansion of their production capacity. Yet, the City of Fury dared to expel their merchant ships bound for Thunderhawk City?

Upon learning of this, President Pansen’s first reaction was to wonder whether Rick was targeting Rocky or the Apple Tree Corporation. And while others in this part of the sky might fear Rick’s Heavenly Ancestor City and Heavenly Ancestor Church, the Apple Tree Corporation was not afraid!

So, just as Archimonde had said, the second dispatch of the trading fleet was already on its way. Not only was the trading fleet coming, but the Escort Fleet of the corporation was coming too, and, as the Apple Tree Corporation started with the warship business, they were in no shortage of warships. A massive fleet of large warships forming the Escort Fleet was ready to go; they were keen to see if the City of Fury dared stop them this time!

“Phew… that’s a relief…”

After hearing Archimonde’s words, Rocky breathed a sigh of relief. This was the only piece of good news he had heard recently. In return, Rocky also shared some good news with Archimonde.

“Archimonde, the order from Xingmin City has been completed,” Rocky said.

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, Archimonde’s eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly asked, “Have the fifty Type 2 tanks been built?”

“They have all been built. The main reason I called you here was for this matter. You can notify Xingmin City to come and collect their order,” Rocky replied.

The reason Rocky had called for Archimonde was partly to inquire if the Chamber of Commerce had suffered any losses due to the blockade and also to inform him that the first order was complete. The fifty Type 2 Armor ordered by Xingmin City had been fully constructed.

From the time Zuluo was captured to the blockade of Backhill Village by Heavenly Ancestor City, more than a month had passed. During this month, Rocky had been anything but idle. Not only he, but also the newly built armory hadn’t been idle, because Rocky had already figured out his way out. If he wanted to breakthrough the blockade using Sirius City, he would need a large amount of Gold Coins as support. At this stage, the best way to earn Gold Coins was to complete the Armor orders.

As long as the Armor orders were completed, the subsequent payments would come in, and then Rocky would have money. If worst came to worst, he could negotiate with Apple Tree Corporation to delay their payment, using some of the money to tide over the difficulties. This was not a difficult task; the only essential condition was that the orders must be completed.

Therefore, after City of Fury had blockaded Backhill Village, Thunderhawk City’s armory did not stop working but instead worked overtime to complete the first order ahead of schedule.

“Good, I’ll immediately contact the Chamber of Commerce and ask Xingmin City to send someone to pick up the goods!” Archimonde said.

Once he knew the first order was completed, Archimonde immediately left the City Lord’s Hall and tirelessly went to contact the Chamber of Commerce. After he left, Athena appeared in the hall.

“My Lord, variables have arisen,” Athena said.

Coming to Rocky’s side, Athena looked at the door through which Archimonde had exited and smiled as she spoke to Rocky.

“Do you think such variables will really affect Rick’s plans against me?” Rocky asked as he turned his head towards Athena.

“A minor variable might not, but many small ones accumulate. Once there are enough, and they erupt, no one will be able to control what happens,” Athena replied.

“Alright…”

Nodding his head, Rocky stood up from the City Lord’s Throne and left the hall, smiling as he walked, “Let the variables come even more fiercely then!”
