Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 639 - 601 Confidence

Chapter 639: Chapter 601: Confidence! Chapter 639: Chapter 601: Confidence! Facing the firm opposition of others, Guild President Pansen decided to support Archimonde despite the objections, and with that, the matter was finally settled.

After receiving Pansen’s support, Archimonde immediately went to see Rocky and got the supply list from him.

“Rocky, are you planning to… make Armors?”

Archimonde looked briefly at the supply list in his hands and immediately realized that most of the materials listed were necessary for Armor manufacturing, which made it clear to him that Rocky was planning to produce Armors in large quantities.

“Exactly.”

In the face of this question, Rocky nodded affirmatively. Apple Tree Corporation was now his most important and only ally. In such times, honesty was the best policy for strengthening their relationship, so Rocky didn’t hide anything and directly said, “These materials are essential for producing Thunderhawk Armor. Once we have them, we can produce a batch of Thunderhawk Armor, which will naturally break the siege on City of Fury.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

As he said this, it seemed Rocky suddenly remembered something, “Archimonde, I also need to purchase fifty Fifth Generation Escort Ships from the Chamber of Commerce, but I’ll have to owe the payment.”

“No problem.”

Archimonde readily agreed to Rocky’s request. First, selling fifty warships was a minor deal that he, as Vice President, could easily approve. Second, since Apple Tree Corporation was now fully allied with Rocky, it would not matter if they sold or even gave him fifty warships—as long as Rocky could win.

So, after nodding, he asked another question, “Rocky, you need these warships for the battle against City of Fury, don’t you?”

“Exactly.”

“In that case… won’t fifty warships be too few? You don’t need to worry about the money. The Chamber of Commerce, having decided to support you, won’t care about these small profits. If necessary, we can provide a larger quantity and higher-tier warships.”

Indeed, Archimonde truly regarded Rocky as one of his own. Learning that he planned to counter City of Fury’s blockade with war, Archimonde immediately proposed that the Chamber of Commerce could provide Rocky with more and better warships.

Because to Archimonde, the mere fifty Escort Ships were clearly insufficient. If Rocky was to have a decisive battle with City of Fury, he would need hundreds of warships, even with new Armor to support him—after all, City of Fury was no pushover.

However, Rocky shook his head at Archimonde’s generous offer. He appreciated Archimonde’s kindness but still declined, not out of pride but because it was truly unnecessary!

By now, the outside world might have learnt about Mana Runes, but even if Rick and the Magic Energy Research Institute knew about them, they would only know the basics at most. The highest secrets of Rune Technology were always tightly held by people like Orton. The result of this was that the outside world had no clue how much Rune-derived technology Rocky had mastered or how powerful it was.

And that was Rocky’s trump card!

Just as he had said, if Rick and the Magic Energy Research Institute wanted him dead, not only would he not obediently hand over the Runes, but he would also show them the terrifying power of Rune technology, and the first to be used as a demonstration would be City of Fury!

In this situation, he and Archimonde quickly finalized everything. Shortly thereafter, they each returned to their own tasks—Archimonde to reconnect with the Chamber of Commerce and hasten the procurement of the supplies Rocky needed, and Rocky to the Guard Camp of Thunderhawk City.

Rocky had already made himself very clear about how he would deal with City of Fury: he planned to rely on the power of Runes to repel them. To do this, not only were Armor and warships necessary, but so too were people, such as Void Magic Warriors.

The supplies he had brought in were enough to make a hundred sets of Thunderhawk Armor, which meant he needed a hundred Void Magic Warriors to operate the Armor. Therefore, before the Armor was made, Rocky had to select a hundred Void Magic Warriors, or the Armor would be useless once completed.

Fortunately, Rocky had foresight in this matter. Despite the small size of Thunderhawk City’s Void Magic Corps, he had always known he would one day need to establish a substantial Void Magic Corps, so he never ceased to focus on training Void Magic Warriors.

Since he had promoted Sandro as the first Void Magic Warrior, Monte and others had systematically trained soldiers in Armor, enabling the formation of the Void Magic Squad with warriors like Robin. Due to the solid groundwork laid, when Rocky truly needed manpower, the Guard Corps immediately provided a large number of Void Magic Warriors.

According to Monte’s report, thirty of his men had received sufficient training and could be deployed to the battlefield with just a little more training once they donned their Armor.

However, this number was obviously not enough, so Rocky immediately ordered Monte to expand recruitment using veterans from the Guard Corps as a base, selecting at least seventy more individuals and training them as quickly as possible.

Thankfully, there was still some time. Rocky estimated that from that moment until the Apple Tree Corporation delivered the supplies to Thunderhawk City, and until he completed the production of the Armor, he had at least two months for preparation. Although this was tight for training Void Magic Warriors, it was still feasible.

Additionally, it’s important to remember that this recruitment focused on veterans from the Guard Corps, who were all experienced and elite. These individuals would adapt much faster to the Armor than average men, so two months of training wouldn’t be too short.

After organizing these arrangements, Rocky didn’t rest. He went straight to the research institute and summoned Liliya, Dusa, Lin Feng, Monte, Sandro, and Robin, among others.

These were all valiant warriors under Rocky’s command and the ones he trusted the most. Once he brought them to the institute, he entrusted them all to Hammerfire, asking him to tailor-make Special Armor for each of them!

Rocky’s request was straightforward. He didn’t need Hammerfire to design brand new Armor, just to base the new Armors on their previous designs. This approach would save time, but even though the designs were based on their original Armor, the manufacturing and technology would be new, and all aspects, from the material to the technology of the Armor, had to match the standards of the White Demon, achieving a level comparable to the White Demon Armor!
