Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 710 - 673 Reconnaissance

Chapter 710: Chapter 673 Reconnaissance Chapter 710: Chapter 673 Reconnaissance The troop development in Thunderhawk City had always been based on a policy of elite soldiers. The number of troops under Rocky’s command might not be many, but from all aspects, they could be considered elite. However, don’t forget, in the battle against Demons, even the most elite troops couldn’t withstand the seemingly endless number of demons.

Therefore, based on Rocky’s experience, it would be difficult to defend Thunderhawk City with just the existing troops. This made him furrow his brow and prevented him from making a rash decision. Instead, he had Monte and others discuss first, asking them to come up with a defensive plan before considering what to do next.

Fortunately, although the mission was daunting, time was on Rocky’s side. He could wait until he was fully prepared before choosing to lower Thunderhawk City to the land. Of course, considering his current situation and the overall state of the world, there wasn’t much time for preparation.

In such circumstances, he had his troops prepare for battle on the one hand and on the other, he asked the Ruby Chamber of Commerce to transport the Super Crystals as quickly as possible, all while seeking out Hammerfire.

“Teacher, when can the New White Demon Armor be ready?”

Once Thunderhawk City was forced to land, it would undoubtedly engage in continuous battles with Demons. At that point, Rocky would have to join the fight. This was not only about combat power but also about morale. However, since the last Demon attack, his White Demon Armor had been rendered unusable. If he wanted to join the battle, he could only rely on New Armor, but…

“Forget about the New White Demon, it’s going to take at least half a year to be ready.”

Looking at Rocky, Hammerfire shook his head and said that it would take at least half a year for the New White Demon Armor to be ready.

Upon hearing this response, Rocky couldn’t help but sigh. He already knew this answer. The New White Demon Armor would incorporate the most advanced Elemental Rune Technology, which, let alone in Thunderhawk City, was among the top in the whole world. Therefore, it was impossible for the New White Demon Armor to be ready in a short time. But without the White Demon Armor, how could he fight?

“You don’t need to worry. If you must fight, I’ll make another set of the White Demon Armor for you, but it can only stay as the old model. There’s no time to add any new technology.”

Seeing Rocky’s brow locked in concern, Hammerfire put down his work, glanced at him, and then proposed a compromise. The New White Demon Armor certainly couldn’t be produced in time, but replicating the old model would be no difficulty for Hammerfire with mature technology and the factory’s equipment at his disposal.

“That will be enough, thank you, Teacher.”

As soon as he heard this, Rocky immediately nodded his head. After all, even the old White Demon Armor was still among the finest today and sufficient for his combat needs.

With that matter settled, Rocky’s heart was eased somewhat. He then took Liliya and Lin Feng with him to the Skyport.

“Sir, what are we going to do?”

Lin Feng had been rushing to train the Guard Corps when he was suddenly summoned by Rocky, making him quite puzzled.

“Go scouting the enemy’s situation. Knowing the enemy and knowing oneself is the secret to victory in every battle.”

Rocky glanced at Lin Feng, spoke, and then boarded the deck of War Steed. Following his command, War Steed and ten other War God Escort Ships slowly took off and flew out of Thunderhawk City after a short while.

Letting a city in the sky land on the ground was not a matter to be taken lightly. To truly achieve this, a considerable amount of preparation was needed, such as choosing the right landing spot, wouldn’t you say?

Thunderhawk City was massive, and it would obviously not work to land right outside Backhill Village. There wasn’t enough space around the village, and besides, when a city lands on the ground and absorbs the soil to expand its foundations, it will inevitably cause extensive damage to the surrounding terrain, which naturally can’t be done on one’s doorstep.

So this time, Rocky planned to inspect the terrain and choose a suitable landing site for Thunderhawk City while also checking the distribution of demons in the vicinity.

In this way, the warships led by the War Steed quickly flew away from Backhill Village.

“Hmm…”

Since the warship had descended in altitude after leaving Thunderhawk City, Rocky at the bow of the War Steed could clearly see the ground, but what he saw was a barren land with nothing on it.

The endless barren land unconsciously made him frown, followed by taking out a map and calling over Lin Feng.

“Lin Feng, where is this place?”

Pointing at the map, Rocky asked.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Lin Feng found it was pointing to the north side of Backhill Village, which seemed to be a forest by the map’s labels.

“Sir, this is the Ancient Tree Forest. I have been there twice. It is very large, and the trees are extremely lush. However… there are a lot of demons in this forest, and there are many different types.”

As an elder of Backhill Village, Lin Feng had far more knowledge of the surrounding environment than ordinary people; one glimpse at the map and he knew exactly which place Rocky was referring to.

He understood what Rocky meant; obviously, he was considering landing Thunderhawk City near the forest or even directly in it. The idea wasn’t bad, because landing next to the forest or directly in the forest would certainly be better than landing on the flat barren land.

Unfortunately, despite the forest looking good, in reality, it was not feasible because there were too many demons inside, and many types at that, including some that specialized in forest living. If Thunderhawk City were to land nearby, it would be disadvantageous for the troops to fight the demons in the forest.

“Understood.”

Once Lin Feng finished, Rocky nodded, realizing that his idea of landing Thunderhawk City in the forest was impossible, and he would have to choose another site.

However, when he looked at the map again, he found it hard to find any other suitable site. The terrain near Backhill Village was mostly barren land, with very few features like forests or mountain ranges. There wasn’t even a river, making it difficult to find a suitable landing site.

This was quite troublesome because if there truly was no suitable site, Thunderhawk City would have to land on the barren land, which would significantly increase the defensive pressure on Rocky.

However, it was at that moment that Lin Feng spoke up, “Sir, I know a place that should be fairly suitable for Thunderhawk City to land.”

“Oh? Where?”

Upon hearing this, Rocky’s eyes lit up, and he quickly handed the map to Lin Feng, asking him to show it. Unfortunately, Lin Feng shook his head as he faced the map handed to him, “Sir, the place I am talking about is to the west of Kasin City, it’s not on the map.”
