Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 631 - 593 Posing a Difficult Question
Chapter 631: Chapter 593: Posing a Difficult Question Chapter 631: Chapter 593: Posing a Difficult Question As time went on, Rocky’s situation not only didn’t worsen due to the City of Fury’s blockade, but instead seemed to improve.
On the one hand, he had reached an agreement with Howling Sky. On the other, he had unified the front with the Apple Tree Corporation. Therefore, although the City of Fury still appeared menacing, the actual threat to Rocky had significantly decreased; in fact, as long as they did not truly battle, the City of Fury posed no threat to him at all.
More importantly, the production in Thunderhawk City had not ceased at all during this process, which was absolutely critical.
Under the heavy external pressures, Rocky was squeezed into finding a much stronger motivation than ever before. Not only him, but every citizen of Thunderhawk City was also driven to incredible efforts.
Facing the formidable enemies, not a single person in Thunderhawk City complained. The longtime residents who had followed Rocky from the beginning didn’t even need mention, and the new residents were the same; everyone did their utmost to help the city surpass this crisis, unleashing an astonishing power.
Take, for instance, the Armory. Thunderhawk City’s Armory was now almost operating 24 hours a day with workers shifting in two or even three groups, almost around the clock, producing Armors and filling orders at a speed far beyond everyone’s imagination.
Meanwhile, just after the merchant ships of the Apple Tree Corporation left, a merchant convoy from Xingmin City arrived, and as expected, the City of Fury naturally sent their fleet to intercept and once again attempted expulsion.
This thoroughly offended the City Lord of Xingmin City. Enraging the City Lord to the point of fury. However, frankly speaking, the City Lord of Xingmin City was not just angry with Rick but was also quite dissatisfied with Rocky because he had come to conduct business with Rocky and hated such unexpected complications most.
But this was exactly what Rocky wanted to see. He did not care whether the City Lord of Xingmin City was angry with him or not; he just needed the City Lord to feel dissatisfaction with Rick as well.
Why?
Because such resentment can accumulate!
Keep in mind that the orders Rocky took on were not just one or two. He completed more than one order, and in fact, due to the Armory of Thunderhawk City working overtime, the orders taken previously were being completed one after another. As these orders were completed, customers naturally came to pick up their goods, which put Rick and the City of Fury in a dilemma. Were they to block all the customers outside Backhill Village?
If they couldn’t, then the blockade by the City of Fury would be utterly ineffective, serving no real purpose and even becoming the laughingstock of the entire sky.
If they maintained a strong blockade, then Rick and the City of Fury would be antagonizing more than just one or two individuals. After all, the city lords who couldn’t pick up their goods would definitely be displeased with Rocky just as they would inevitably with Rick, and this was precisely the outcome Rocky wanted to see.
Anyway, he was already driven to a dead end; the more grudges there were, the less he worried—incurring a bit more dissatisfaction was irrelevant to him. But the same could not be said for Rick; Rocky wanted to see how Rick would handle this pressure!
In fact, before Rick could handle it, the City of Fury, which was responsible for the blockade of Backhill Village, was already struggling. Because as Rocky completed the orders for the Co-Governing Alliance, the trade caravan from the Alliance appeared grandly at Backhill Village.
It’s unclear if they had received prior information, but the caravan sent by the Co-Governing Alliance was enormous. They didn’t just send a caravan, they even sent a large Sky City!
So, when the massive Sky City sent by the Co-Governing Alliance broke through the clouds over Backhill Village, City Lord Erwin of the City of Fury felt a severe headache, rubbing his temples vigorously. With a gloomy face, he suddenly realized that things were getting out of his control.
He hadn’t anticipated Rocky’s business interactions with so many people, and as more and more caravans appeared, his situation became increasingly embarrassing.

Because those with the ability to order Tank Armors were either powerful large Sky Cities or outright Alliances, and only these entities held industries on the land that required Tank Armors. But this also meant these entities were immensely powerful. If he kept expelling their trade caravans, wouldn’t that be provoking these behemoths?
The power of Heavenly Ancestor City and the Heavenly Ancestor Church was indeed formidable and usually disregarded by commoners, but even the strongest power could not afford to antagonize so many simultaneously, especially since none of these entities were pushovers, many having the capability to wrestle with Heavenly Ancestor City and Church.
Take the now-arriving Co-Governing Alliance, for instance. As a major alliance that recently rose after the last great war, the Alliance was not only formidable in power but also in momentum. In this situation, what should he do?
Should he still stop them?
Don’t forget, this time the Co-Governing Alliance had directly sent a large Sky City. So, if he really sent troops to block them, who knows what extreme reactions they might make. Given the current vigor of the Co-Governing Alliance, they might even be waiting for someone to start a fight to establish their authority. If he rashly sent out his troops, wouldn’t he be delivering himself to them?
But if he let them through… then what was the point of his blockade…
In this situation, Erwin knew that the current circumstances were beyond his control, so he simply contacted Rick, letting the Sect Hierarch decide.
Therefore, after that he quickly got in touch with Rick, and surprisingly, Rick responded swiftly.
Stop them!
Just one word, Stop!
Not only the trade ships of the Co-Governing Alliance, but in the future, all merchant ships, including those of the Apple Tree Corporation, must also be stopped, even those from Sirius City had to be inspected before letting them pass!
“My God…”
After receiving this order, Erwin was completely dumbfounded. He stared blankly at Rick’s Magic Energy Image for a long while before finally managing to ask, “My lord, are you certain about this?”
Erwin had to ask this question because he very much doubted whether he had heard incorrectly, and what made him doubt even more was whether Rick had gone mad! Because only a madman would make such a decision!
Does he even know what he is doing? Does he understand that once this decision is made, what kind of pressure they will face?
