Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 657 - 619 Shocking the World
Chapter 657: Chapter 619 Shocking the World Chapter 657: Chapter 619 Shocking the World With one strike from the Demon Annihilation Cannon, Tawa’s miracle was destroyed, and only then did Rocky turn and leave, his actions clearly telling everyone that the previous refrain from attacking was merely because he didn’t want to waste time, that’s all.
As Rocky walked away, Erwin, who was also at the bow of the flagship, was momentarily stunned, then let out an angry roar!
He didn’t know exactly what had transpired between Rocky and Tawa, but he could clearly sense the insult in Rocky’s manner, a barefaced affront! And beyond the insult, what infuriated Erwin even more was the loss of yet another commander.
In the first conflict, the entire First Fleet had been annihilated, with the loss of more than two hundred warships and countless Void Magic Warriors—all perished. Even the fleet commander, Kexif, had met his end in the skies. This was a colossal loss for Erwin.
Warships could be bought or built, armors could be replaced, but once a man is gone, he really is gone. The death in battle of hundreds of Void Magic Warriors was already a significant blow, but Kexif’s demise was almost unbearable for Erwin. After all, cultivating a competent fleet commander required more than just talent. It demanded a great deal of time and battle experience, all of which made the value of a fleet commander perhaps even greater than that of a whole fleet.
And now, another commander had died, right before Erwin’s eyes. Coupled with the prior losses of the fleet and the Void Magic Corps, this hit Erwin like a devastating blow.

However, Erwin was the lord of a city after all, and although his rage was boundless at Rocky’s final actions, he eventually calmed down and ordered his forces to return to the City of Fury. After what had happened, he needed to take the long view.
It ought to be said that a city lord is indeed a city lord—able to distinguish the urgent from the important and to make the most rational decisions in times of crisis.
But… a rational decision is not necessarily the right one.
Why is that?
Because after using the Demon Annihilation Cannon, especially on full-power mode, the Mana left within the White Demon was already scarce. What does that imply? It means that if the howling Erwin had truly lost his sanity and ordered all his Void Magic Warriors to swarm and pursue Rocky, it would have been his best opportunity to kill Rocky!
Regrettably, Erwin’s mindset was too much that of a city lord’s. He was overly rational, to the point that he missed this perfect chance.
With that, as Rocky also left the battlefield, this phenomenal battle finally came to an end.
And as the battle ended, everyone was thrown into an uproar.
Though only two parties partook in the battle, and Howling Sky was the sole onlooker, except for Rocky, both Erwin and Howling Sky had formidable forces behind them. So, as the stunning conflict drew to a close, both of them rushed to report to the powers that be.
First was Erwin. Having led the fleet back to the City of Fury, he immediately ordered the fleet to repair and prepare for battle at any time, while also promptly contacting Rick and recounting the significant discoveries of the battle.
In truth, there wasn’t much to tell. The only thing worth mentioning about this battle was that Rocky had deployed new technology and… and had successively shattered the forces from the City of Fury…
Okay, it doesn’t sound very glorious to say that such a large Sky City was routed by a mere troop of less than a hundred ships, losing almost five hundred warships and nearly half of its heavy forces. The outcome was indescribably bitter, but Erwin couldn’t care less about that now. Having witnessed Rocky’s terrifying strength and having directly experienced the power unleashed by the new technology, he had but one thing to do now—urge Rick to send reinforcements immediately, or else the situation would be far worse than losing half their forces.
However, the response Rick gave him was one of despair. Rick told him that reinforcement would take at least half a month to arrive…
Meaning Erwin had to withstand Rocky’s onslaught for half a month before relief troops would arrive.
This was clearly not the outcome Erwin desired, but he had no choice but to accept, considering the location of Heavenly Ancestor City, it was indeed the limit of what Rick could manage within half a month.
On the other side, after Howling Sky returned to his own Sky City, he also immediately contacted the Alliance and reached out directly to the Elders’ Council.
Given the current delicate relationship between the Alliance and Rocky, as well as Sirius City’s strategic positioning, it was not only possible but mandatory for Howling Sky to report directly to the Elders’ Council on all matters concerning Rocky.
Ironically, the elder Howling Sky contacted this time happened to be Farey, who had once had a brief encounter with Rocky.
“You say… what?”
When Howling Sky told Farey what he had personally witnessed today, even as an Alliance Elder, Farey was stunned.
“Howling Sky, are you saying that Rocky engaged in battle with the forces of the City of Fury?”
“Yes, Elder.”
“He won?”
“Not only did he win, but he also achieved a complete victory with almost no losses.”
“How many troops did the other side send out?”
“All their main forces.”
“All of them?”
“Yes, all.”
“And Rocky?”
“Eighty warships, ten Void Magic Squads.”
“And then…?”
“That’s all.”
“He managed to win against the entire main force of the City of Fury with just that little?”
“Yes, and at least two fleets of the City of Fury were eliminated, along with dozens of Void Magic Squads.”
“This…”
Farey, who was in Nut God City, was truly taken aback when he heard these words, then he painstakingly, as if suffering from senile dementia, asked all the questions he had earlier once again, only to receive the exact same answers.
In that moment, Farey felt as if he really were suffering from dementia because he very, very much wanted to ask the same questions once more, and at the same time, he wanted to question Howling Sky if he was deceiving him!
Because everything Howling Sky had just said seemed too unrealistic to him! How could Rocky possibly defeat the City of Fury? That was a large Sky City with thousands of warships and hundreds of Void Magic Warriors, how could Rocky have possibly defeated such an opponent with his power.
Unless…
At this thought, Farey inhaled sharply because he understood why Rocky could do all this—he had utilized his technology!
“This guy… to what extent has he researched runes…”
Since he was already aware of the existence of Mana Runes, when Farey realized that Rocky must have utilized his new technology, he muttered helplessly. They had actually guessed that Rocky had gained a further grasp of runes, but they had not expected him to have reached this level.
“Elder Zhang, what should I do?”
While Farey was expressing his astonishment, the Magic Energy Image of Howling Sky asked this question. Howling Sky had to get this clear because with Rocky having demonstrated the power he possessed, he had to know how the Alliance intended to treat Rocky; otherwise, the next one to suffer could well be him!
