Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 660 - 622 Its Not Over Yet
Chapter 660: Chapter 622: It’s Not Over Yet Chapter 660: Chapter 622: It’s Not Over Yet Rocky and the battle with Fury City had merely come to a pause, far from over, at least in Rocky’s view.
That’s why, after the initial victory, he not only continued to push Thunderhawk City closer to Fury City but also invited Howling Sky, hoping to purchase warships from him!
Even though he won the first battle, Rocky was not arrogant, nor did he believe himself to be invincible. On the contrary, he was fully aware of why he had won—the advantage of Rune Technology on one hand, and the opponent’s underestimation on the other.
Since Rocky kept his Rune Technology heavily guarded, the outside world, even if aware of his possession of top-tier technology like Mana Runes, was still unclear to what extent he had developed this technology. It was for this reason that he was able to severely defeat Fury City in the previous fights. However, now that the battle had been won, the strength he possessed was also exposed. Continuing to win would not be as easy.
Imagine if, in the previous battle, Erwin had not just sent one fleet to confront Rocky but had launched an all-out attack from the start, what would have been the outcome? If Erwin had actually done so, Rocky, despite having a technological advantage, definitely wouldn’t have won any battle, simply because the disparity in troop strength between the two was too great. After all, Fury City is a large Sky City, a fact that Rocky cannot compete with.
It’s conceivable that after losing at least two fleets and hundreds of Void Magic Warriors, Erwin could eventually catch on. By the next time they met, he surely wouldn’t just send one fleet to confront Rocky; he would launch an all-out attack.
Moreover, even though Erwin had suffered defeat repeatedly, hence losing at least two fleets and over a hundred Void Magic Warriors, a loss of forces that could be said to include four to five hundred warships and several Void Magic Squads, he still had five to six hundred warships and hundreds of Void Magic Warriors at his disposal. Once he deployed all these troops into battle, Rocky stood no chance of winning, even with his technological edge.
In such a situation, Rocky needed to expand his army, otherwise he definitely couldn’t win this war.
Currently, Fury City was still blockading Backhill Village, making it impossible for Rocky to contact the outside world. The only hope he had was Sirius City and Howling Sky, which is why he invited him over.
Faced with Rocky’s straightforward request, Howling Sky was initially stunned, followed by a troubled expression.
At that moment, he had cursed the Elders’ Council countless times in his mind, blaming these old immortals for why he had to stay in Backhill Village, why he had to wade into this messy situation? As a representative of the Alliance, he was in a position where he couldn’t fight or flee and had to deal with both ends, placing Howling Sky in a tough spot.
Now that Rocky had made such a request, it became even harder for Howling Sky.
After all, the Alliance had already ordered him not to participate in the battle between the two sides, and even though Howling Sky had already reported Rocky’s resounding victory to the Elders’ Council, the order had not changed.
Similarly, being a City Lord himself, Howling Sky knew that this was the time when Rocky was in the most difficulty. If he helped him now, it would indeed be like timely help through a harsh winter. In the future, no matter what conflicts Rocky had with the Sky Alliance, they would always owe him a huge favor. Seeing how Rocky was performing now, once he could get past this hard time, he would undoubtedly rise high. Howling Sky was of course one hundred percent willing to have such a person owe him a favor.
This was the dilemma for Howling Sky. As a core member of the Alliance, he could neither disobey the orders of the Alliance nor let go of this opportunity; he truly didn’t know what to do.
“Rocky, let me think about it.”
After a brief frown, Howling Sky simply looked at Rocky once more; he really needed time to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
“Okay.”
Rocky simply nodded in response, aware that his request wasn’t something Howling Sky could easily decide on and was indeed putting him in a difficult position. Therefore, he did not press further and soon sent Howling Sky back.
Once he left the City Lord’s Mansion, Howling Sky went straight back to his warship but did not fly back to Sirius City. Instead, he spent the whole afternoon lost in thought in his cabin.
During this period of consideration, Thunderhawk City had already drawn close to Fury City and had stopped upon its approach.
Prior to this, fearing that Fury City would attack, Rocky had always hidden his two Sky Cities behind Sirius City, using it as a shield. He had even feigned poverty to Howling Sky a few times, but now, Thunderhawk City had completely emerged from behind Sirius City, ready to face the enemy head-on.
Not only that, but once Thunderhawk City had stopped, Rocky once again led the fleet and headed straight for Fury City!
Upon learning this while still in his cabin, Howling Sky involuntarily gasped, silently giving Rocky a thumbs up!
Being a seasoned veteran and fellow City Lord, he understood precisely why Rocky was doing this. Rocky was clearly striking while the iron was hot, planning to hit Fury City once more while they were still dazed from the previous defeats, giving them no chance to react!

Howling Sky, after all, was Howling Sky, and his guess was spot on. Rocky indeed planned to pursue the victory while the opponent was still reeling, delivering a fierce blow to Fury City.
In fact, Erwin and the rest of Fury City were still in a baffled state, having been confused after two consecutive defeats. Therefore, when Rocky led his ‘Remnant Soldiers’ just outside Fury City’s Defensive Net, Erwin did not dare to dispatch troops to meet them. He was truly afraid that once he attacked, if hundreds more warships flew out from Thunderhawk City, then his Fury City would not just be blocking Backhill Village—it would be completely finished.
Rocky had precisely captured this point, arranging his remaining seventy-plus warships in front of Fury City and immediately launching the most fierce bombing on Fury City’s Defensive Net!
With this, a scene never seen before in the history of aerial warfare in this world appeared: A City Lord of a small Sky City, leading a fleet of fewer than a hundred warships, initiated a siege on a large Sky City. Facing such an attack, the troops of the large Sky City dared not come out to meet them but hid behind the Defensive Net to counterattack. This scene could no longer be described as astonishing; it was utterly ludicrous!
