Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 691 - 653 Only the Stronger

Chapter 691: Chapter 653: Only the Stronger Chapter 691: Chapter 653: Only the Stronger “Rune… warship?”

Looking at Rocky lying in bed, Archimonde was originally all smiles but suddenly became stunned. He had never expected Rocky to bring up this matter!

Did the Apple Tree Corporation want the technology for the Rune warships?

Of course, they did!

Archimonde had witnessed every battle between Rocky and the City of Fury firsthand. He had even watched on the sidelines as Rocky and his team worked overtime to modify the warships. He had stayed up with everyone for ten days and had naturally reported the formidable performance of the Rune warships to the Guild President early on.

Upon learning that Rocky had already applied runes on warships and could use them proficiently, the entire Apple Tree Corporation was overjoyed. For them, it was an unexpected blessing since Rocky had previously only mentioned Rune Armor, never Rune warships. The corporation had no idea he could already apply runes on warships.

This was undoubtedly a great opportunity for the corporation, an excellent opportunity to outdistance all competitors by leagues. So, since the City of Fury had been captured, the corporation had been discussing how to approach Rocky about this matter. Unexpectedly, Rocky had come to them first.

In such a situation, Archimonde dared not take it lightly. Entering the Armor Domain was merely a need for the corporation’s expansion, but the warships were indeed the foundation of the corporation. Thus, Archimonde took no risks with this matter.

“Rocky, what are you thinking? Do you plan to make the Rune warships widespread?”

“I am no saint.”

Smiling at Archimonde, Rocky didn’t hide his words.

Before, he indeed planned to share Rune Technology with the whole world, but too many things had happened recently—enough to completely change his thinking. So now, he had no interest in taking care of others. How does the old saying go?

“When poor, one looks after oneself; when achieving abundance, one helps the world.”

Now, Rocky couldn’t even protect his own sprouts; how could he afford to benefit the whole world?

“Archimonde, I hope the corporation can provide me with warships, Rune warships. I will provide the technology, but… I won’t pay for them, consider it a trade with technology,” said Rocky.

“As for whether you sell the Rune warships later or not, I don’t oppose it, but I have a few conditions.”

“Tell me.”

“First, I want a share from the sales of the Rune warships, the specifics of which Aileen will discuss with you.”

“Second, you can sell the Rune warships to anyone, but not to those who are my enemies; I will give you the list soon.”

“Third, you must not leak the technology of the Rune warships; otherwise, I will terminate all cooperation with the corporation.”

“No problem, I will consult with the Guild President right now,” Archimonde replied.

Having heard Rocky’s three conditions, Archimonde nodded almost without thinking, then rushed out of the room immediately.

“Wait a moment,” Rocky called as he saw Archimonde hurrying out like a startled monkey, summoning him back with a wry smile. Rocky still had much to say.

“Archimonde, didn’t you mention earlier that the corporation was planning to build another armory in Thunderhawk City? Now is the time, and it must be expedited.”

“Yes! I’ll handle it right away!”

The meeting with Rocky today was a double blessing for Archimonde!

On the one hand, Rocky wanted to cooperate with them to manufacture Rune warships. Though there were many demands, compared to the importance of the Rune warships and their significance for the Apple Tree Corporation, Rocky’s conditions were just trifles.

On the other hand, there was the matter of the armory. Archimonde had already brought this up to Rocky before, but many things had happened since then, especially after Backhill Village was locked down, preventing the corporation’s caravans from reaching Backhill Village, leaving the matter unresolved. Now that Rocky had brought it up on his own, the Apple Tree Corporation was more than willing!

Therefore, after this, Archimonde immediately returned to his residence and contacted Guild President Pansen right away.

With his departure, Rocky was left alone in his room. This, however, was ideal as it allowed him to calmly think about how to proceed.

Actually, he had already figured out the general direction. For Rocky, there was only one thing to do next, and that was to become stronger, and stronger, and even stronger!

It’s the same old saying, only when one is strong can one avoid being bullied, can one avoid being meat on the chopping board. In fact, over the years, Rocky had always been doing just that, constantly finding ways to become stronger.

Thinking carefully, recalling what Thunderhawk City was like initially and seeing now what one could know, it was clear that Rocky had become countless times stronger over the years. However, as he grew stronger, so did his enemies. Initially, he only faced the Mairente Families, but now the Mairente Families had almost been driven to extinction and could no longer cause any trouble for him. However, Rocky’s enemies had changed.

They had transformed into Rick, the Magic Energy Research Institute, Kafka Empire, and the Shadow Alliance, adding Sigma and Uranus corporations, and possibly even the Sky Alliance into the mix. His enemies had grown stronger.

In such conditions, the only thing Rocky could do was continue to grow stronger, for he seemed to have concluded that his enemies would become even more formidable, he could even be at odds with the world!

So he had Orton and others quickly begin research on the Third Generation White Demon Armor. The Second Generation White Demon Armor was strong, but clearly not strong enough to face the upcoming crises.

He even provided part of the Rune Technology to the Apple Tree Corporation, for only thus could he obtain numerous Rune warships and form a real Rune Fleet. He also had to build new armories, otherwise, not to mention the battle gear needed by his own troops, he wouldn’t be able to meet outside orders.

Therefore, even though Rocky was currently lying in bed, under his various arrangements, both of his Sky Cities and Backhill Village were all up and running. At the same time, Rocky also contacted Karina and Berg, telling them that recent times were quite unsettled and instructing them to stay put in safe areas. He promised to send them the battle gears and warships as soon as they were ready.

After that, Rocky began to rest and heal. He had to recuperate quickly because there were too many matters requiring his personal attention afterward.
