Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 679 - 641 Press Conference
Chapter 679: Chapter 641: Press Conference Chapter 679: Chapter 641: Press Conference As for how to take control of Sky City, Achilles clearly had his own plans. His first step was to reclaim City of Fury as soon as reinforcements arrived.
The fall of City of Fury was too significant for the Heavenly Ancestor Church, striking a big blow to their morale. Therefore, it was vital to recapture the city. Besides, even setting everything else aside, such a large-scale Sky City was simply too important to lose. Thus, Achilles had long reported to Rick and received approval. He would be the first to take back City of Fury from Rocky.
However, recapturing it through frontal combat alone was not going to be easy and would require the support of Erwin from within the city. A pincer move would greatly increase their chances of success. Therefore, Achilles reached out to Erwin, telling him to be ready to resist at any moment. Upon receiving the message, Erwin did not dare to delay, immediately relaying the word, instructing all his underlings and everyone in the city to be prepared. As soon as the battle outside began, they would immediately start an uprising to take back control of the city!
Meanwhile, as Erwin and Achilles were planning to recapture City of Fury, Rocky held a press conference on schedule and, as he had previously stated, formally announced the White Demon Armor and Thunderhawk Armor to the public.
“Ladies and gentlemen, as my teacher, Master Orton, has introduced, the first-generation White Demon Armor is indeed created based on our latest developed Rune Technology as its core. I need not go into detail about the armor’s combat capabilities. Of course, I believe everyone is very interested in the specific data of the White Demon, so please welcome my other teacher, Master Hammerfire!”
In this press conference, Rocky took the role of the host himself. Just moments ago, Orton had taken the stage to briefly explain some concepts of Rune Technology. Although Orton, with his peculiar personality, managed to include at least three technical terms in every sentence, making most people unable to understand him, the more complex it sounded, the more impressive it seemed to the audience, who felt respect for the seemingly incomprehensible expertise.
Afterward, with Rocky’s introduction and amid applause from the crowd, Hammerfire, who was over a meter tall, stepped onto the podium and personally elucidated on the numerous data points of the White Demon.
Such detailed explanations finally made the audience aware of the specific parameters of the White Demon. They were both surprised and slightly disappointed. The surprising aspect was the White Demon’s adoption of new technologies, namely Rune Technology. The disappointing aspect, however, was that the armor’s performance metrics didn’t seem as outstanding as people had imagined.
Considering the past achievements of the White Demon, its capabilities were clearly far superior to the traditional fifth-generation Special Armor, and it could even rival the fifth and a half generation Holy Angel Armor. Yet the data Rocky disclosed seemed to fall short of everyone’s expectations. To them, the White Demon’s parameters might surpass those of the average Special Armor, but still, there was a considerable gap compared to the Holy Angel Armor.
This confusion didn’t take long to be raised during the subsequent question-and-answer session.
“City Lord Rocky, is the White Demon Armor you announced the same as the one you’re currently using?”
“No, this is the first-generation White Demon Armor. The one I’m using now is the second-generation White Demon Armor.”
Finally, Rocky provided a reasonable explanation. It turned out that he had disclosed only the data of the first-generation White Demon Armor, while the one he used to defeat the Holy Angel was the second-generation. That’s how it was.
“City Lord Rocky, why not announce the second-generation White Demon Armor as well?”
“Because the second-generation White Demon Armor is still being perfected.”
“City Lord Rocky, will you sell the White Demon Armor externally?”
“It is under consideration.”
“City Lord Rocky, could you elaborate on the Rune Technology mentioned earlier?”
“Rune technology is a brand-new technology that is based on the research of Mana Runes. As for Mana Runes… I’m sorry, but that is a commercial secret, so I’m unable to share with everyone,”
“City Lord Rocky, do you think Rune Armor can have an impact on traditional armor?”
“Rune Armor will completely phase out traditional armor,”
As soon as these words were spoken, a gasp rippled through the venue of the press conference. Then after a brief pause, everyone raised their hands as if they all had questions to ask.
“City Lord Rocky, do you really think that Rune Armor is already a threat to the research of the sixth generation armor?”
“I believe it’s not just a threat; in fact, I think the development of the sixth-generation armor should be stopped directly. There’s no need to waste time and resources on a product that is certain to be phased out,”
“Alright, if anyone has questions, you can ask them later. Right now, I would like to introduce another type of armor. Similarly based on Rune Technology at its core, this armor differs from the White Demon Armor. This is a Mass Production Type Rune Armor intended for export,”
The move by Rocky to stop further questions left many feeling disappointed. Although these individuals weren’t journalists, they had just as many questions about the White Demon Armor and Rune Technology that they wanted clarity on. However, the next words from Rocky immediately captured everyone’s attention.
What did he just say?
Export Type Rune Armor?!
As soon as the word “export” was heard, everyone’s eyes lit up. Let’s not forget that the attendees of the press conference were either City Lords or Alliance Hierarchs, and at the very least, Guild Presidents or directors of a Chamber of Commerce. Although they hadn’t fully grasped what Rune Technology entailed yet, they could tell from City Lord Rocky’s confident demeanor that the technology was epoch-making. Thus, the mention of an export-ready Rune Armor instantly invigorated them.
Subsequently, under the rapt attention of the audience, Rocky began to introduce the Thunderhawk Armor to everyone.
“The initial design purpose of this armor…”

Standing before everyone, and pointing at the actual Thunderhawk Armor behind him, Rocky explained every aspect of the armor to the audience, adeptly handling the task as it wasn’t his first time promoting his Thunderhawk Armor to outsiders.
After about twenty minutes, Rocky finished introducing all aspects of the Thunderhawk Armor and concluded with a segment of combat footage.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this footage was recorded ten days ago during a battle where warriors fully demonstrated the battlefield superiority of the Thunderhawk Armor, facing enemies three times their number and ultimately achieving victory. I believe this is sufficient to prove the excellence of Thunderhawk Armor,”
After these words, Rocky moved to the side, and immediately a segment of Magic Energy Image appeared in front of everyone.
This footage was recorded during Rocky’s decisive battle with the City of Fury and had been edited. Therefore, the content displayed was not only thrilling and varied, but also consisted of scenes where the Thunderhawk Armor battled against two, three, and even four opponents at once before ultimately defeating them. This left the audience in astonished exclamations, and by the time the footage ended, their gazes towards the calmly displayed Thunderhawk Armor on the stage completely changed.
