Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 640 - 602 Accumulate Thinly and Burst Forth
Chapter 640: Chapter 602 Accumulate Thinly and Burst Forth Chapter 640: Chapter 602 Accumulate Thinly and Burst Forth “`
As Rocky had mentioned, the outside world might have uncovered the existence of the Mana Runes due to his recent series of actions, but whether it was the Sky Alliance, Rick, or even the Magic Energy Research Institute, they at most had just a name; they absolutely couldn’t know more, because Wensel’s research notes always remained in Rocky’s hands, and the fruits of years of research by Orton and others were also personally held by them, completely out of reach for others.
In this situation, the outside world had no idea to what extent Rocky had delved into Mana Runes. Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that Rick and the Magic Energy Research Institute dared to make a move against him, or rather, they were eager to make a move because once they understood the function of the Runes, they would realize that if they allowed Rocky to continue his research, the power Rocky held would inevitably grow massive. And once that power erupted someday, Rocky would immediately become so powerful that no one could control him!
Perhaps this was why the usually neutral Magic Energy Research Institute would actively make a move. Holding the most advanced technology in the world today, the Magic Energy Research Institute understood the transformation that Runes could bring better than anyone else. Faced with such technology, they could not sit idly by.
However, everyone got one thing wrong, which was that they all underestimated the technology Rocky already mastered and developed!
Perhaps Rick and the others thought that Rocky’s research on Runes was all embodied in the White Demon Armor. If they truly thought that, they were gravely mistaken, because this current version of the White Demon Armor was merely the second edition, and it was made a year ago.
What did this mean?
It meant that the Rune Technology equipped in the current version of White Demon Armor was already entirely outdated in the eyes of Rocky and his team!
As Orton and others continued to deepen their research on Runes, various technologies based on Runes were also continuously advancing and developing. Orton had long stated that their research had reached a stage where a significant breakthrough could be made. As long as this breakthrough was achieved, Rocky could comfortably disclose the Runes to the public, because even if the whole world knew about the Runes then, his mastery of Runes could still maintain an absolute lead.
This occurred before the expansion of the research team, several months ago, and Orton’s research had already achieved a breakthrough!
It was precisely because of this major breakthrough that Rocky had the confidence to go all out against Rick and the others, as he held the world’s most cutting-edge technology—this was no brag!
In this scenario, with Rocky’s successive orders, the entire research team in Thunderhawk City got busy, with a team of forty under the guidance of four masters, each taking on different tasks, beginning to design a new generation of armor for Liliya and others.
According to Rocky’s requirements, the design this time by Hammerfire was to be top-tier armor on par with the White Demon!
Normally, his request was virtually impossible to fulfill. After all, according to Rocky’s estimation, he only had two months to prepare. In such a short time, let alone custom-designing a set of Rune Armor for each of Liliya and the others, that time wasn’t even sufficient to design a standard set of armor.
Normally it was indeed so, but for someone like Orton and the others, it was no big deal at all, because their years of arduous research were not in vain.
First, the armor originally equipped by Liliya and the others was already experimental battle armor. Hammerfire had long completed the prototype designs for these armors, so the design drawings were readily available.
Second, Orton and the others, throughout the years of research, had already amassed a wealth of experience, and more importantly, they already held several mature Rune Technologies. With all this plus the completed design drawings, it undoubtedly significantly shortened the development time for the new armor.
This was the proverbial “great things from little beginnings.”
After accumulating several years of effort, Rocky had long amassed an enormous power unknown to others, and once this power erupted, it would indeed be terrifying.
Simultaneously, as the research team began working full force on completing the new armor design for Liliya and others, the arms factory was also prepared to go all out in production. As soon as the raw materials arrived, the arms factory could churn out armor like dumplings.
This meant that Rocky was now ready for everything, just waiting for the materials to arrive. As soon as the materials he needed were brought in, the whole of Thunderhawk City would start operating at full throttle.
Too bad there was nothing he could do even in urgency, because the success of this depended entirely on the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce had indeed been working hard on this matter, but it was somewhat challenging.
The materials Rocky needed were not much for the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber, after receiving the list from Archimonde, took only a day to prepare all the materials Rocky required. So the real difficulty lay in the Escort Fleet. The Chamber had been preparing the Escort Fleet during this period.
At this time, the City of Fury had imposed the strictest blockade on Backhill Village, and with the support of numerous allies, the current City of Fury could be described as utterly unscrupulous. Even the merchants from Sirius City would face strict inspections when traveling to and from Backhill Village, occasionally having a few merchant ships seized, and constrained by Alliance restrictions, Howling Sky could only swallow the insult. In this situation, if Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce wanted to deliver materials to Backhill Village, there was only one way—to break through!

However, even for Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce, achieving that was not easy.
The Chamber led by Pansen indeed had vast resources, but no matter how enormous their wealth was, they were still just a Chamber of Commerce. So even though their main business was battleships, it was impossible to assemble a massive Escort Fleet capable of breaking through the City of Fury blockade overnight. Also, not to forget, the Chamber had just fought City of Fury a while ago, and for that, they lost over two hundred warships, making it even harder.
Pansen racked his brains to form a strong Escort Fleet. He not only gathered all the escort ships within the Chamber but also hired several large mercenary groups from the Mercenary Guild, just barely mustering a force strong enough to break through the City of Fury blockade.
Once everything was ready, the merchant fleet finally set out from Eternal City, and by the time they neared Backhill Village, it was already half a month later.
Under the protection of a massive fleet, the merchant fleet of Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce appeared once more in the airspace of Backhill Village. However, after learning from the previous experience, even with more abundant escort forces, the merchant fleet dared not be reckless this time. They advanced cautiously every step of the way and contacted Rocky in advance, urging him to be as prepared as possible for reception, for the City of Fury would never let them approach Backhill Village just like that; there was bound to be a battle between both sides.
Yet, everyone got it wrong! Because this time, when the merchant fleet approached Backhill Village, though the City of Fury dispatched troops, they did not initiate an attack and simply let the merchant fleet pass, allowing the fleet to hand over to Rocky smoothly…
Such a result greatly exceeded Rocky’s expectations and instantly filled him with a sense of foreboding.
