Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 683 - 645 Fierce Character

Chapter 683: Chapter 645: Fierce Character! Chapter 683: Chapter 645: Fierce Character! Hovering over Backhill Village, the guests on the deck were stunned by the battle unfolding on the land below.

These guests had certainly seen their share of grand scenes, but no matter how many battles they had witnessed, and no matter how massive, those were usually in the skies. Ground warfare, especially against demons, was rare to them. After all, land-based industries had not yet become widespread in this world, so the battle unfolding before their eyes was simply staggering.

Following everyone’s gaze, the Moving Fortress loomed like a wall, sealing off the entrance to Backhill Village, using its colossal body to block out all the demons outside. Its body bristled with cannon barrels that fired relentlessly, hundreds of Magic Cannons bombing the surroundings incessantly, blasting a ring into the ground and reducing countless demons to bone and dust.

Of course, numerous demons circumvented the fortress from the sides, but these bypassing fiends soon encountered the waiting Tank Armor!

Facing these detouring demons, the Tank Armor opened fire immediately, its spewing flames swiftly felling swathes of the demons that had narrowly escaped the bombardment. And for those few that slipped through, they were to face Backhill Village’s last line of defense, the tall walls of the village entrance, the Guard Corps on top, and the Void Magic Warriors circling in the air!

And it was due to these layers of defenses that, although the tide of demons rushing towards Backhill Village swiftly exceeded a thousand, after an exchange of fire, not a single demon made it to the base of the village walls, all having been successfully annihilated during the process.

So powerful…!

As the number of demons gradually dwindled and eventually all retreated, the guests who witnessed the battle couldn’t help but gape in awe.

They had known that Rocky had taken over Backhill Village, but precisely because of that, Backhill Village had become Rocky’s private domain, and the outside world knew very little about it. Hence, these people had no idea that the village’s defensive capabilities had become so formidable?!

What on earth was that ‘hill’ at the entrance of the village? Could it be another of Rocky’s new inventions?

Although the Shadow Alliance had reported on the Moving Fortress before, the coverage was minimal, and it was only mentioned once. This caused many people to either be completely unaware of its existence or simply overlook it. Now, however, after witnessing the overwhelming combat prowess of this colossal fortress, everyone deeply etched it into their memory.

In fact, these people were unaware that the Moving Fortress had undergone significant changes from when Rocky initially brought it back. While its hardware had not been modified, its software had been comprehensively upgraded. The most notable change was the greatly reduced consumption rate. Had it operated with its original, massive consumption, the Moving Fortress could not have lasted so long in battle—of course, outsiders wouldn’t know such a thing.

In any case, after this battle, everyone finally had an accurate understanding of the defensive capabilities of Backhill Village. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the village’s defense power now was in no way inferior to that of the large Sky Cities or even the land bases held by major Alliances—perhaps it was even stronger? After all, other forces’ land industries or bases did not have a Moving Fortress standing guard!

Hence, with this realization, everyone’s assessment of Rocky took on a new level of respect.

Although Rocky had previously destroyed two major Sky Cities with a single command, he had only showcased his ruthless nature. As a result, everyone’s assessment of him was merely that no one would dare underestimate him thereafter; he was no longer just a minor player. But now, after witnessing the defensive capabilities of Backhill Village with their own eyes, this perception began to change.

Think about what the guests had witnessed over the past few days.

They had seen the new technology that Rocky had mastered, observed the New Armor he had developed, and although it was not mentioned at the press conference, everyone was very clear that Rocky’s application of Mana Runes had extended to warships. And then, they had just witnessed the strength of Backhill Village.

All these factors combined made everyone realize a serious issue: Rocky, who now possessed the most cutting-edge technology, had the most advanced Armor and warships, and also owned two Sky Cities and a land base, was no longer just a minor player, but had directly become a formidable one! From now on, anyone, from an ordinary City Lord to an Alliance, even to a top force like the Sky Alliance, could no longer criticize or instruct him lightly because anyone who dared do so would pay the price. The Thunderhawk City and Sky Might were proof of that!

In one day, Rocky had continuously refreshed people’s evaluations of him, something unprecedented or simply unimaginable before. So when everyone rode back to Thunderhawk City on the War Steed, a subtle change had emerged.

This change only occurred in people’s hearts and was not outwardly shown, but it certainly did happen, and without doubt, it would subtly influence everyone.

As for some tangible changes, of course, there were some. For example, on the second day, Archimonde’s doorstep was worn out.

Rocky had mentioned before that if someone wanted to reserve a Thunderhawk Armor, they could directly contact Archimonde. After all, theoretically, in the partnership with the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce, Rocky was only responsible for production, and the sales aspect was entirely managed by the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce. Rocky had not overstepped his role, especially since the Chamber had given him a lot of help facing the blockade from the City of Fury, and he was not the type to turn his back on people who helped him.

In this situation, Archimonde instantly became the busiest person, receiving several groups of guests each day, yet he was happy with it. Almost all the visitors who came to see him would sign an order in the end, which naturally was the scenario he was most pleased to see.

So it went on for three days until the guests gradually left. And when everyone had gone, Thunderhawk City once again returned to its usual tranquility, except that the factories were buzzing with activity every day, as if everything had returned to normal.

But Rocky knew that his situation was far from normal, in fact, it was getting further and further away from the normal track. Or to put it more bluntly, his life was now drifting further away from its original course.

With two major Sky Cities destroyed, Rick and the Heavenly Ancestor Church would certainly not let bygones be bygones. Even if Rocky had to guess with his toes, he could tell what Rick was doing — he must be gathering a large army and heading towards Backhill Village!

Is that so?

Indeed, that was exactly the case!
