Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 684 - 646 Getting Busy

Chapter 684: Chapter 646 ‘Getting Busy’! Chapter 684: Chapter 646 ‘Getting Busy’! Rick was indeed on his way now!

The destruction of the two Sky Cities had enraged him, and upon hearing the news, he had immediately headed for Backhill Village, unstoppable.

“How much longer until we arrive?”

Sitting in the City Lord’s Hall, Rick asked with a grim face, a question he had been repeating every day for the past few days.

“My lord, we will reach Backhill Village in a week.”

“Find a way to make it faster.”

“My lord, this is already the fastest speed…”

“Get out.”

After glancing at his subordinate, Rick cursed him out and then returned to his study.

A week had passed since the cities of Fury and Sky Might had crashed, and in fact, Rick had received the news from the Shadow Alliance on the day of the cities’ destruction. He was almost driven to an explosion of anger and had planned to personally lead Heavenly Ancestor City to confront Rocky, but he had to wait a few days since the weapons supplied by his allies were not fully in place at that time.

But his waiting these few days had not been in vain.

In order to better control Rocky and avoid his troops being disadvantaged against Rune Technology as before, his allies had supplied him with a large amount of advanced equipment that was not available on the market.

Sigma Corporation provided him with a thousand sets of Mass-produced Holy Angel Armor. This armor was the new Fifth and a Half Generation mass-produced armor just developed by Sigma Corporation. Although its overall ability was not as strong as the Special Holy Angel Armor, it also employed Magic Conduction Technology, bringing its magic energy value to an astonishing 9000 points, which not only surpassed all Fifth Generation mass-produced armor but was even higher than the standard Fifth Generation special armor.

The Void Magic Corps equipped with this type of armor would undoubtedly become the strongest force of the day, and thus its combat ability would not only match that of the Thunderhawk Armor but would even be stronger.

Another giant in the Armor Domain, Uranus Corporation, had provided Rick with ten units of experimental Sixth-Generation armor. Despite the small number, the combat power of these ten units was extremely formidable, equipped with many technologies exclusive to the Sixth Generation. Their magic energy had easily surpassed the 20000-point mark, specifically designed to counter the White Demon Armor.

As for the strongest Magic Energy Research Institute, it supplied Rick with a thousand new warships, all of them destroyers, but each was at least twice as massive as ordinary destroyers, so much so that they were nearly comparable to battleships. More importantly, these warships were fitted with a lot of new technology unique to the Magic Energy Research Institute, surpassing the mainstream warships of today in terms of defense, mobility, and crucially, offensive capabilities, definitely capable of competing with Rune Battleships.

With this batch of equipment, Rick’s strength had instantly been boosted significantly, and his wait was absolutely worthwhile.

And while waiting for this equipment to arrive, Rick himself had not been idle. He had summoned nearly ten large Sky Cities to accompany him to Backhill Village. The lords of these Sky Cities were all devout followers of the Catholic Church and had intricate connections with the Heavenly Ancestor Church. At Rick’s command, he had gathered them all to his side and then set off formidably to Backhill Village.

In this situation, the number of Sky Cities heading to Backhill Village had reached as many as thirteen, including three remaining cities of the Heavenly Ancestor Church and ten cities led by followers, all of them large Sky Cities!

This was the power of the Heavenly Ancestor Church.

There truly were reasons why the Heavenly Ancestor Church was not easy to provoke; the power of religion was indeed too strong. Rick was chosen by the Magic Energy Research Institute, the Kafka Empire, and the Shadow Alliance to confront Rocky exactly because of this.

By now, Rick and the Heavenly Ancestor Church were both enraged, their fury burning as they headed straight for Backhill Village. A massive problem was clearly approaching Rocky, and there was no doubt that it would stir up the recently quietened Backhill Village once again.

However, what Rick could never have anticipated was that the commotion would start before he even reached Backhill Village.

That day, led by Heavenly Ancestor City, thirteen Sky Cities had been flying for over a week and were finally nearing the Skybreaker Peak area. Although they had not yet officially entered Skybreaker Peak, by the end of the night, they would enter the area, and by this time tomorrow, everyone would be able to see Backhill Village.

As they got closer to Rocky, Rick issued a new command, ordering his troops to deploy reconnaissance ships ahead of time for vigilance.

The crashes of the Sky Might and Fury had indeed fueled Rick’s rage, but as previously mentioned, the angrier he was, the more composed he became, and the more composed, the calmer. Thus, the current Rick was at his most stable and alert.

This clarity forced him to admit that Rocky indeed had formidable methods and must be cautiously guarded against. Additionally, he never forgot Athena’s existence, and considering his son was still held in Thunderhawk City, all these factors forced Rick to be extremely careful, absolutely avoiding any mistakes. Therefore, after approaching the airspace of Skybreaker Peak, he dispatched an early reconnaissance squad for a precautionary alert to prevent any surprises.

In this situation, hundreds of reconnaissance ships were dispersed into the sky, beginning a comprehensive patrol of the surrounding airspace.

Even so, it seemed Rick was still not cautious enough…

“Reconnaissance Ship 66 reporting, no anomalies detected.”

Inside the cabin of the reconnaissance ship, the captain was making a routine report, then stepped out of the cabin onto the deck.

“Give me the telescope.”

Standing at the bow, the captain took the telescope from a crew member’s hands and scanned the surrounding sky, nodding in approval only after confirming there were no issues.

Everyone involved in the reconnaissance mission was extremely diligent because they all knew they were facing Rocky, a ruthless character who had just destroyed two large Sky Cities. Given such an enemy, it was never too much to be extra cautious.

“Captain, there seems to be something below?”

“Hmm?”

Upon hearing this, the captain, who had just put down the telescope, instinctively looked down and then saw a black dot approaching slowly from under the ship.

“What is that?”

The black dot approached the reconnaissance ship very quickly, and within moments, the captain emitted a cry of alarm!

“Demons!”

“It’s a Flying Demon!”

When it became clear that the approaching black dot was a Flying Demon, the captain immediately shouted out loud, but unfortunately, he hadn’t finished his shout when a multitude of black dots darkened the sky from the land below!
