Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 637 - 599 Never Surrender

Chapter 637: Chapter 599: Never Surrender! Chapter 637: Chapter 599: Never Surrender! The appearance of the Magic Energy Research Institute once plunged Rocky into confusion; he felt that everything he did in the face of such an enemy was in vain. However, Liliya’s words made him realize a truth: it was either die or fight, and he could only choose one path to follow.

In this situation, Rocky had no choice but to rally his spirits, for he had no other options, he could not simply wait to die; he had to fight.

Therefore, he soon called Archimonde over and took him directly to the institute!

At this time, Archimonde was just as busy and frazzled as Rocky. Since all of Apple Tree Corporation’s armor operations were rooted in Thunderhawk City, the blockade of the City of Fury essentially meant the blockade of the entire armor business of the Apple Tree Corporation. Moreover, a previous battle had inflicted heavy losses on the corporation, adding to Archimonde’s worries as the Vice President in charge of armor operations. Under these circumstances, when Rocky suggested going to the institute, he was reluctant.

In Archimonde’s view, Rocky taking him to the institute was merely to see the Thunderhawk Armor. If it had been before, he would have been very interested, as once Thunderhawk Armor went into production, it would greatly benefit the sales of armor. But now, he wasn’t in the mood; with Backhill Village being blockaded and earlier orders unable to be fulfilled, Archimonde had no interest in seeing the production of new armor.

However, what he did not expect was that when Rocky took him to the institute, what he showed him wasn’t the Thunderhawk Armor, but the Mana Rune!

“My god… this, this is…”

When Archimonde saw the Mana Rune displayed by Orton, he was completely stunned. He stared at the rune drawn by Orton and was dazed for a long time until the rune completely disappeared before he could react.

“Rocky, is, is this the new technology the masters are researching?”

Archimonde’s reaction was quite fast, and as soon as he regained his composure, he immediately asked.

“Yes, this is the new technology we are researching, the Mana Rune.”

Since Orton had already discussed the features of the rune with Archimonde, Rocky did not repeat them but simply nodded, then said, “Archimonde, I think you now understand why Rick would blockade Backhill Village, right?”

“Understood…”

At this moment, Archimonde had not yet fully digested this explosive news, but after regaining his senses, he kept nodding in understanding. He now understood why Rick was targeting him – it was clear the adversary had learned about the existence of the Mana Rune through some means, hence their readiness to offend the Chamber of Commerce, and even risk confronting the Sky Alliance to move against Rocky.

Prior to this, Archimonde and Apple Tree Corporation had been deeply entangled in this conspiracy, yet they had always been unable to grasp the specifics. However, after witnessing the Mana Rune and understanding its purpose through Orton’s explanation, Archimonde finally knew the real reason.

Indeed, this technology was indeed worth Rick’s fierce competition, for obtaining this nearly revolutionary technology would, without exaggeration, change the entire landscape of the skies. Archimonde might not understand the technology itself, but knowing what change it could bring to the world was enough. It was because of this that he then looked towards Rocky: “Rocky, why do you want to let me know about this?”

Archimonde was no fool; he clearly understood how important the Mana Rune was to Rocky. He also knew his own position – Rocky exposing such crucial information to him was tantamount to exposing it to Apple Tree Corporation. Why would he do this?

“I need allies.”

In response to this question, Rocky’s answer was succinct: “You have seen what Rick has done, and I’ve just received intelligence today that Rick dares to be so rampant because the Magic Energy Research Institute is backing him, and if I’m not mistaken, the forces supporting him might not be just the Magic Energy Research Institute.”

“What they are doing now is forcing me, forcing me to hand over the Mana Rune.”

With a helpless sigh, Rocky glanced at Archimonde: “You might not believe it, but I was actually planning to share this technology with the whole world. If it weren’t for the village blockade, I might have been doing it already.”

“What?”

Hearing this, Archimonde stared wide-eyed in surprise; he truly didn’t believe that Rocky would share such high-end technology.

But in this matter, Rocky was not lying; in fact, if Rick had not blockaded him, he might have indeed been preparing for this, as he had planned from the beginning.

However, the blockade of the City of Fury disrupted Rocky’s plans, not only that, but it also changed his long-held views! So afterwards, he said:

“Only now I’ve changed my mind, these people like Rick who want to corner me to death, I will definitely not make it easy for them, I will not share this technology with my enemies! Not only that, but I will also let them taste the terror of this technology!”

“But I need allies.”

“I need someone to help me.”

Saying this, Rocky then turned to Archimonde: “Archimonde, I need Apple Tree Corporation to transport a batch of materials, the faster the better. As soon as these materials arrive, I will be able to break the blockade of the City of Fury.”

“……”

When Rocky finished speaking, Archimonde did not immediately respond, but fell silent.

Obviously, facing the enemy’s pressure, Rocky was not willing to submit, but to resist, he must rely on the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce, hence telling him about the existence of the Mana Rune. So, what should the Chamber do?

Given the current situation, helping Rocky was not as simple as nodding – if the Chamber truly intends to transport a batch of materials for him, they must overcome the hurdle of the City of Fury, which undoubtedly means they would have to fight a battle with the City of Fury!

Therefore, facing Rocky’s request, Archimonde did not immediately give an answer; in fact, he couldn’t provide any response because although he was Vice President of the Chamber, he couldn’t decide such a significant matter alone – the Guild President Pansen would need to agree first.

But after a brief hesitation, Archimonde nodded at Rocky!

“Rocky, I’ll communicate with the Guild President. I will convince him, and the Chamber will definitely deliver the materials you need!”

Looking at Rocky, Archimonde gave his assurance without hesitation!
