Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 682 - 644 Ruthless Enough
Chapter 682: Chapter 644: Ruthless Enough Chapter 682: Chapter 644: Ruthless Enough The madness of a minor character can often be more terrifying, for they can act without restraint.
City Lord Rocky had numerous ways he could have dealt with City of Fury. He could have simply taken over, or if that seemed too troublesome, he could have used it, treating it as a bargaining chip in negotiations. Holding such a large Sky City in his hand would have been an even greater threat to Rick than having control over Zuluo. But Rocky did not choose any of those paths; instead, he opted for the simplest and most brutal method to deal with City of Fury.
He destroyed the city, and in doing so, also brought down Sky Might City, causing both large Sky Cities to crash before his eyes at the same time.
This was a sight unseen for too many, many years. Though there were always conflicts in the skies and wars leading to the destruction of cities, the simultaneous obliteration of two large Sky Cities was a rare occurrence. Not to mention smaller skirmishes; even when the Sky Alliance and the Kafka Empire were at each other’s throats, such an event was rare.
So when both cities successively slammed into the ground, the guests on the deck were stunned. They rushed to the railing to look down and quickly saw Sky Might City reduced to ruins, followed by City of Fury which was forced to make an emergency landing on the land due to power loss. Then, they saw the demons, attracted by the explosions.
They swarmed towards City of Fury from all directions like a tide of darkness, and in the blink of an eye, the ground seemed to be carpeted with a layer of sin. This massive carpet moved towards City of Fury at a visible speed as if it were about to consume the city whole.
“City Lord Rocky…”
Upon witnessing the scene on the ground, many guests turned to look at Rocky. After all, this was a city with a population of a hundred thousand!
There was still a slim chance to save City of Fury. If Rocky were to deploy his fleet, there might be a possibility of rescuing the city. After all, City of Fury was a large Sky City, and although there were many demons, they could not destroy such a large city instantaneously. Moreover, even if nothing else, Rocky could still rescue a substantial number of people from the city.
Regrettably, Rocky had no intention of taking action. As more and more guests turned to him, he simply smiled and told everyone, “Ladies and gentlemen, the blockade of Backhill Village has been lifted. Now you no longer have to worry about the production and transportation issues of Rune Armor.”
Having said that, Rocky waved his hand, and the War Steed turned around and headed straight back to Thunderhawk City.
By then, many guests couldn’t help but glance back toward the ground, just in time to see the demonic horde that blanketed the land completely encircle City of Fury, pouring into the city like a flood…
As the warship slowly returned to Thunderhawk City, Rocky and Liliya stood at the bow, seemingly whispering to each other, while the guests on the deck unanimously fixed their gaze on Rocky’s silhouette, the same thought surfacing in everyone’s mind: Truly audacious, and absolutely ruthless!
Two great Sky Cities were annihilated at the command of Rocky. He had the courage to commit such a deed, indeed.
Similarly, the two hundred thousand inhabitants of these two large Sky Cities died because of his command. Rocky could not have been unaware of this potential outcome, yet he still dared to issue the order knowing full well that it would take two hundred thousand lives. His heart was indeed merciless!
Therefore, people’s perception of Rocky changed, and it had to change. After this event, Rocky was no longer a minor character. Perhaps his realm of influence was still not vast, but his tactical genius, his mentality, his audacity, and his ruthlessness were enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with any major player in the skies!
It had to be said that what Rocky did was not the best choice and could even be considered the worst decision from certain perspectives, for the destruction of City of Fury and Sky Might City sealed his feud with the Heavenly Ancestor Church. This would undoubtedly cause him endless troubles. On the other hand, this act had elevated his prestige to unprecedented heights. Henceforth, every person in the sky, great and small, would no longer treat him as a minor character, nor would they dare to provoke him easily.
And this was precisely what Rocky wanted. Clearly, Rocky intended to use the fall of the two large Sky Cities to establish his authority in this world. More importantly, he succeeded!
Soon after, everyone quickly returned to Thunderhawk City, and then Thunderhawk City slowly headed back to Backhill Village. It wasn’t until then that the guests finally realized how meticulous Rocky’s plans had been.
He had obviously intended for City of Fury and Sky Might City to be destroyed together. Otherwise, why would he have ordered the three Sky Cities under his rule to leave Backhill Village in advance? That must have been to ensure the fallout from the destruction of the two large Sky Cities did not affect the village, indicating that all these events had been prearranged by Rocky.
No, it should not be said they were arranged by him alone. When the guests realized this, they couldn’t help but think of a woman—Athena!
This whole plan could very well have been orchestrated by Athena in advance!
This woman…

But even if Athena had arranged everything so meticulously and calculated countless scenarios, she still could not have foreseen the demons. So when Thunderhawk City flew back to Backhill Village, it found that a significant portion of the demons drawn by the fall of the two cities had gathered around the village!
However, when the guests began to feel anxious about this, they saw a massive structure at the entrance of the village—Moving Fortress!
Perhaps anticipating such a situation, the defensive systems of Backhill Village had already been activated. Rows of Guards stood at the ready on the city walls, and a line of Tank Armor stood neatly at the village entrance, with the hill-like Moving Fortress at the forefront!
“City Lord Rocky, could we… could we go down and take a look?”
Noticing the situation in Backhill Village, many guests were very curious, especially about the massive Moving Fortress.
“Of course, if you like.”
Rocky readily agreed to everyone’s request, then once again led the guests onto the War Steed, quickly flying above Backhill Village.
Hovering above Backhill Village, people soon heard the thunderous barrage of artillery from below. When they looked down, they saw the hill-like Moving Fortress continuously firing, bombarding and crushing the demons.
“My God… this… this is simply… spectacular…”
