Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 662 - 624 Resolve

Chapter 662: Chapter 624: Resolve Chapter 662: Chapter 624: Resolve Rocky rode the wave of victory and gave City of Fury a show of force, and Howling Sky also had an epiphany.

He had grown tired of the difficult situation he was caught in and knew all too well that he couldn’t continue like this. He had to make a decision. He either had to firmly stand by the Alliance and become a mere onlooker, or he had to offer a helping hand to Rocky—whichever he chose, he had to make a choice. Otherwise, he would end up as an outcast, disliked by all. And his final decision was to help Rocky!

Therefore, he decisively agreed to Rocky’s request, ordering one hundred warships from Sirius City.

Moreover, he went all in on being a good Samaritan by not even mentioning money while sending the hundred warships, which precisely showcased Howling Sky’s wisdom. He was acutely aware of Rocky’s current difficulties. Rocky might have a few million Gold Coins, but expecting him to pay for a hundred warships all at once was simply unreasonable. And since Howling Sky’s real purpose in offering his aid was to have Rocky owe him a favor, why bother making things difficult for him over this matter?

So Howling Sky resolutely chose to go all the way with his kindness. If he was to help Rocky, he would do so completely, ensuring that Rocky smoothly overcame this ordeal with his assistance so that he would forever owe him a huge favor.

It must be said that not a single City Lord of the large Sky Cities was a mediocre individual, and Howling Sky was no exception. Once he had set his goal, he executed it firmly, refraining from dawdling over the minor details or letting insignificant benefits ruin his original intention.

At the same time, Howling Sky smartly chose to send the warships to Thunderhawk City at night, and not with much fanfare but instead, discreetly and in several small batches. This tactic ensured the utmost secrecy, making it difficult for City of Fury to notice their movements.

Howling Sky was really doing everything he could; his actions were almost no different than going into battle himself. Naturally, Rocky appreciated his gesture. However, Rocky was too overwhelmed with issues to exchange pleasantries with Howling Sky, so after meeting once, he left in a hurry. Of course, Howling Sky also knew how busy Rocky was, so he didn’t linger in Thunderhawk City and immediately returned to his own Sirius City.

Once he had left Thunderhawk City, Rocky immediately summoned the research team, clearly having another task for them. They needed to work through the night to convert the newly acquired hundred warships into Rune Battleships. And as long as these ships were transformed, with his existing forces, City of Fury would no longer pose a threat to him!

Therefore, everyone in Thunderhawk City was busy that night. Orton and his team rushed to retrofit the new warships, while those previously involved in the battle were swiftly repaired. Everyone was bustling with activity.

That same night, Erwin and others in City of Fury were also occupied, pondering over how to confront Rocky.

After three major battles during the day, Erwin and his comrades were keenly aware that their situation and momentum with Rocky had now clearly reversed, from previously blockading Backhill Village and Rocky. If there hadn’t been an order from above, they would have eliminated Rocky by now. But the current situation had turned completely on its head. From the power that Rocky had unleashed during the day, they couldn’t think of continuing the blockade against Rocky. They, themselves, already felt threatened.

Especially concerning Rocky’s last assault on City of Fury. Although that attack didn’t truly affect City of Fury, and Rocky even retreated when their entire army was mobilized, that last action revealed his ultimate goal—Fury’s heavenly rebuke!

This made Erwin extremely worried and anxious.

If it were just an ordinary enemy, forget a small player like Rocky, who has only one small and one medium-sized Sky City, even if the opponent were Sirius City, Erwin wouldn’t be as afraid as he is now. However, faced with Rocky, it’s different because the Rune Technology that Rocky possesses seems like a black hole to Erwin. The consecutive defeats during daylight battles and the loss of two fleets and over a hundred Void Magic Warriors prevented him from gauging Rocky’s true strength.

Not being able to determine the enemy’s strength meant Erwin genuinely didn’t know if he could defeat Rocky.

That’s why he even doubted whether he would be defeated by Rocky. Although the thought sounded ridiculous—a grand Sky City being defeated by a minor City Lord like Rocky, it was almost a complete farce—yet it was a reality, that was exactly what Erwin thought.

“My lord, we can’t give Rocky any more time,” Su De said as Erwin was brooding.

When Erwin heard this, he turned to give Su De a glance, signaling him to continue.

Encouraged by Erwin’s gesture, Su De went on:

“My lord, Rocky’s forces are indeed strong. He might really have used the new technology he developed as you speculated, but his strength might not be as terrifying as imagined.”

“If you think about it carefully, if Rocky had possessed such powerful capabilities, why would he have waited till now to take action? He should have acted when we were blockading Backhill Village, but he didn’t. Instead, he declared war on us after the Apple Tree Corporation delivered a batch of supplies to him. This suggests that he has only just gotten ready, and even his preparations are not sufficient. Therefore, we must act immediately and not give him any more time to prepare, or it will be too late.”

Erwin had capable people under him, and although the continuous losses during the day had baffled everyone, once they had all calmed down, Commander Su De accurately assessed the situation and made the most precise suggestion: to take immediate action, to not give Rocky any more time to enhance his strength. Only in this way would they stand a chance. Otherwise, once Rocky further strengthened his power, they would truly be unable to control the situation.

After Su De finished speaking, the others around them were nodding continuously, clearly sharing similar thoughts; they all believed that Rocky was not yet fully prepared to battle them, presenting them with the best opportunity.

But even though others were nodding in agreement, Erwin was frowning. He understood that Su De made sense, but in reality, they had a second choice, which was to wait.

Erwin had already made contact with Rick earlier and had just made contact again; he was well aware that Rick had sent reinforcements that would arrive within a fortnight. In other words, if he could just hold out for another half a month and wait for the reinforcements, everything would be resolved with ease.

In such a scenario, what to choose became the decision Erwin had to make: whether to act immediately and nip Rocky in the bud, or to quietly wait for reinforcements and then take control of Rocky with absolute military superiority.
