Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 658 - 620 Full Pressure
Chapter 658: Chapter 620: Full Pressure! Chapter 658: Chapter 620: Full Pressure! “`
When everyone involved with the matter learned of the outcome of the battle between the two cities, two urgent meetings commenced.
Having heard news of Rocky’s victory, the Elders’ Council of the Sky Alliance had no choice but to convene again, clearly exceeding the normal frequency of meetings; ordinarily, the Council would meet once every three months, or at most once a month, but the affair concerning Rocky had already prompted them to hold two meetings within a single month.
However, due to the rapid development of events, despite it being irregular, the Elders’ Council had to gather once again upon receiving Howling Sky’s report to discuss how to deal with Rocky.
“The technology he has mastered has already matured so much…”
As Farey recited all he knew, the faces of many Elders changed to varying degrees, and then they began to speak one after another:
“According to Howling Sky, Rocky has not only mastered the application of runes but has also extended this application to both Armor and warships, meaning he has attained an absolute lead in the field of runes.”
“The key point isn’t that.”
After one Elder finished speaking, another Elder interjected, “The key point is the power that runes have displayed in combat. Clearly, the technology of Mana Runes is far more powerful than we had imagined and is evidently capable of changing the world.”
“So we must get our hands on it.”
“We can no longer neglect Rocky, nor can we allow others to intervene anymore; this matter cannot be tainted by outsiders, Rune Technology must be in the hands of the Alliance!”
“Hmph, as if it’s that easy.”
When one Elder expressed that they could not let the situation continue to unfold, someone among the other Elders snorted coldly, “Have you all forgotten who stands behind Rick?”

“Magic Energy Research Institute.”
“Kafka Empire.”
“Sigma Corporation.”
“Uranus Corporation.”
“Shadow Alliance.”
“Plus, Heavenly Ancestor City and Heavenly Ancestor Church.”
“If we want to monopolize Rune Technology, do you think the Magic Energy Research Institute and Kafka Empire would agree? Do you believe that Sigma and Uranus, these two corporations, would just watch as Rune Armor emerges and kicks them off the throne in the Armor Domain?”
“This matter must be considered for the long term…”
As the Elder’s voice died down, the entire conference hall fell silent, with all Elders plunged into silence.
This time, those targeting Rocky were simply too numerous and too powerful to the extent that even the Sky Alliance was overwhelmed!
Unlike Rocky, although he was aware that those targeting him included not only Rick and the Magic Energy Research Institute but definitely others as well, he did not know who these others were, for he lacked the power to investigate. Meanwhile, the Sky Alliance had already identified all the forces lurking behind the scenes and were taken aback by what they found!
“`
The other two giants among the Three Giants were present, as were the two leading figures in the Armor Domain, and even the Heavenly Ancestor Church was involved. To be honest, such a combination even made the Sky Alliance wary of making any rash moves!
It was precisely because of this, the Alliance itself remained indecisive, even harboring the idea of whether or not to join them as well. After all, standing against these forces, Rocky stood no chance at all; thus, the Alliance had indeed considered simply siding with these people and taking everything from Rocky, which would save them a lot of trouble.
However, the Elders’ Council’s dilemma lay in the fact that the Rune Technology originally controlled by Rocky was supposed to fall exclusively into their hands. After all, Rocky was an Alliance member, and even if it eventually came to a falling out, the Alliance should be the first to reap the benefits due to its proximity. Still, if the Alliance joined forces with Rick and the others, they would have to share the spoils, which was very frustrating and where their dilemma lay.
But, with Rocky’s recent major victory, things seemed to have changed again.
……
……
When the news of the City of Fury’s consecutive defeats reached Heavenly Ancestor City, like the Alliance Elder Council, Rick immediately went to the secret chamber of the Holy Temple and contacted his allies.
In the secret chamber, Rick still had five Magic Energy Images before him. Although their faces were as blurry as last time, their identities were no longer a secret. Two of the elders represented the Magic Energy Research Institute and the Kafka Empire, and a young man and woman represented the two giants of the Armor Domain—Kashu, the fourth-generation Sect Leader of Uranus Corporation, and Denise from Sigma Corporation!
As for the last person, he was a representative of the Shadow Alliance, and no one knew his name.
These five people, along with Rick, were the ones who wanted to put Rocky to death.
“Rick, no matter what, you must seal Rocky within Backhill Village,” one said.
“Exactly. The power he holds is too terrifying. Once he makes contact with the outside world, things will get out of control,” another added.
Clearly, the power that Rocky had unleashed had completely disrupted the plans of the Six Giants. They had initially planned to trap him alive in Backhill Village, forcing him to voluntarily hand over all his Rune Technology, but they had not anticipated that Rocky had developed his Runes to such an extent, bursting forth with such terrifying power. Should this power spread, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“You don’t need to remind me, I will do everything in my power to keep him under control. The question is, how are you doing?” Rick replied.
Upon hearing about the consecutive defeats of the City of Fury, Rick didn’t dare to be complacent any longer. After all, it was he who was responsible for frontally opposing Rocky, and given the current situation, it was becoming less likely that they could solve Rocky with sheer force, as they had missed the best opportunity.
Now that Rocky had employed his technological power and had shocked everyone with his debut, even if Rick wanted to mobilize a large army to suppress him, it would take time. During this time, who could guarantee what high-tech Rocky would come up with? Keep in mind that it was he who, with only about eighty warships and a little over a hundred Void Magic Warriors, had sent the City of Fury’s army into disarray. If given more time to continue expanding his power, Rick wouldn’t even dare to assure that he could suppress him.
So, the best way to truly keep Rocky in check now was to cooperate and exert pressure from all sides.
In fact, this was not just his thought alone. The others shared the same idea, so as soon as he finished speaking, the representatives of the Magic Energy Research Institute and the Kafka Empire immediately said, “Leave the Sky Alliance to us. From now on, Rocky will receive no form of support from the Alliance.”
“Leave the Armor to us. The replica of the Tank-type Armor has been developed. Rocky’s Armor will no longer have any market, and he will lose all his economic sources,” the young man and woman, Kashu and Denise, then added.
“Rocky won’t get any outside intelligence either; you can rest assured of that,” the last person, the mysterious representative from the Shadow Alliance, finally spoke, his voice low yet resolute, declaring that the Shadow Alliance would sever all of Rocky’s intelligence sources.
With this, from all aspects, Rocky was about to face a complete siege!
