Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 673 - 635 In one fell swoop

Chapter 673: Chapter 635: In one fell swoop Chapter 673: Chapter 635: In one fell swoop After Rocky issued his orders, Monte and Lin Feng immediately led the Void Magic Corps towards different directions, one to the City Lord’s Mansion and the other to the Guard Camp, to occupy these two crucial locations.

At the same time, Rocky left ten warships at the Skyport, then personally led the rest of the fleet towards the city area, planning to gain control over it.

However, as Erwin had anticipated, the number of troops Rocky brought with him was simply too few for a large Sky City with a population of one hundred thousand. It was relatively easy to take over the City Lord’s Mansion and the Guard Camp, but he couldn’t manage to control the city area at all.

When Rocky and his fleet arrived above the city area, he looked down and saw an endless number of streets and an endless number of people.

Unlike other cities, the City of Fury was a religious city. Therefore, when Rocky, the enemy, appeared in the skies above with his warships, the city’s residents didn’t hide in their homes as people from other cities would; quite the contrary, quite a number of them, led by priests, poured into the streets.

These people all gathered at the front of the churches, the crowd was so large that the churches couldn’t possibly hold them all, so they simply gathered outside and knelt in front of the churches to pray earnestly.

Standing at the bow and seeing this scene, Rocky immediately felt a major headache. Faced with these residents, whose faith was so strong they clearly weren’t afraid of death, to be honest, he didn’t know what to do.

Nevertheless, what had to be done would inevitably be done, and what was to come would inevitably come. How to handle the aftermath of capturing the City of Fury had been discussed with Athena long ago, so after sighing, Rocky began to direct the fleet, to scatter the warships across the entire city area, one ship controlling several streets, ready to fire at the first sign of an uprising, without the need to report back.

In this way, Rocky managed to barely maintain control of the situation in the City of Fury, but he didn’t stay there for long. He simply left his troops there to control the situation and prevent any sort of uprising, and he himself returned to Thunderhawk City.

With his departure, Erwin who was hiding in the City of Fury received news immediately. Despite being reduced to hiding in a basement, Erwin was after all the City Lord of the City of Fury, and was not only intimately familiar with the city but also had numerous informants. In fact, against an external enemy like Rocky, every person in the city became his eyes and ears, allowing him to keep abreast of the situation without leaving the basement.

“My lord, should we take action?”

Upon hearing the news that Rocky had returned to Thunderhawk City by daybreak, someone immediately suggested action. In their view, now that Rocky had left, it was the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the leaderless army of Thunderhawk City. If they counterattacked at this moment, there was a good chance they could retake control of the city.

“Shut up.”

However, as soon as this suggestion was made, Erwin scolded sharply, his eyes blazing. With no warship in the City of Fury, and not even two small squads of Void Magic Warriors, how could they possibly fight against Rocky’s army?

So after reprimanding his subordinate, Erwin said, “Tell everyone outside, no one moves. Tell them all to hold their ground, don’t act rashly; we wait until Sky Might City arrives before we make a move.”

Having said this, Erwin frowned, apparently already thinking of other matters.

Indeed, Erwin was pondering over Rocky’s movements. From Rocky’s various actions in occupying the city, he could tell that his own judgment hadn’t been wrong. Rocky’s series of actions were indeed aimed at taking over the City of Fury. Of course, it was normal to want to take over such a large Sky City—leaving it unclaimed would have been too wasteful. But Erwin was somewhat puzzled by Rocky’s intentions because, under normal circumstances, Rocky should have been focusing all his attention on the City of Fury, so why had he suddenly returned to Thunderhawk City?

Could it be… something had happened?

It had to be said, Erwin was indeed worthy of being the City Lord, his thinking was that of a City Lord. So on certain matters, his thoughts were spot on. Rocky had indeed hurried back to Thunderhawk City because there were matters waiting for him!

Of course, this wasn’t some accident or emergency, but rather, everything Rocky had arranged ten days ago was now beginning to bear fruit.

First, the merchant ships of the Apple Tree Corporation and the Ruby Chamber of Commerce were about to arrive.

Ten days ago, before Rocky had launched the final battle, even before a single new warship had been refitted, he had already contacted these two Chambers of Commerce, asking them to transport as many supplies as possible for him after ten days, and he also had all the factories in the city work overtime to produce enough materials for the Chambers of Commerce to ship out.

This was clearly a plan Rocky had made in advance. He had contacted them ten days before, after calculating the exact time the Chambers of Commerce would need to reach Backhill Village. So, the day after the City of Fury fell, the merchant ships of the two Chambers arrived, hence Rocky immediately returned to Thunderhawk City.

When he arrived back in Thunderhawk City, he went straight to the Skyport, only to see it filled with merchant ships loading and unloading goods. There were so many merchant ships sent by the two Chambers that many had to hover outside the Skyport, waiting their turn to load and unload.

Seeing this, Rocky was finally able to relax because with this batch of supplies, it was estimated that Thunderhawk City would have no problem holding out for some time. This was extremely important because, after this, he didn’t know what consequences his actions would lead to.

In this situation, Rocky quickly met with representatives from the two Chambers of Commerce, gave them instructions, and then received news from Karina and Berg, who would be arriving that evening.

Having already received information from the Apple Tree Corporation, Rocky knew that the Shadow Alliance was now standing against him, so he contacted Karina and Berg, asking them to help him spread news: on one hand, to let everyone know that the City of Fury had been defeated by him, and on the other, to announce that he had important news to share.

Clearly, Rocky was preparing a grand plan unknown to outsiders, and indeed that was the case. Ever since deciding to contribute Rune Technology to the City of Fury, he had been planning and preparing. The two tasks entrusted to Karina and Berg were of great significance to everything he was about to do next. He had to draw everyone’s attention once more—it was the only way to secure a glimmer of hope for himself.

This glimmer of hope was something Rocky had fought desperately for, using all his resources. He had to seize it at all costs; failure was not an option. Thus, upon learning that Karina and Berg would arrive that evening, Rocky immediately made preparations. Whether his plans would succeed or not, it was all or nothing now!
