Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 711 - 674 Red Water Lake

“Kasin City’s… west side?”
After glancing at Lin Feng, Rocky suddenly realized.
If it were on the west side of Kasin City, indeed, it would not be on the map, as this map was drawn by Karina, reaching only as far as Kasin City.
“Exactly what place are you talking about?”
Since it wasn’t on the map, Rocky asked Lin Feng.
“My lord, I am speaking of a lake, known as Red Water Lake.”
“A lake?”
“Yes, I’ve never been there myself, but I heard about it when chatting with people from the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild in the village. They mentioned that while their caravan was en route to the village, they saw a lake to the west of Kasin City, which the people from the commerce guild called Red Water Lake.”
“I see…”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
With Lin Feng’s explanation, Rocky nodded.
He certainly remembered the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild; it was the very organization that traded minerals with Backhill Village. After the villagers had relocated to Thunderhawk City, the guild seized the opportunity to take over the village, although later on, they were driven away by Rocky.
And from Lin Feng’s words, it was clear that during its business dealings with Backhill Village, the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild had discovered Kasin City, as well as the Red Water Lake that Lin Feng mentioned. Of course, this was only what Lin Feng had heard; he had never been there himself, especially considering the considerable distance from Backhill Village to Kasin City. But since this information had passed from the mouths of the traders, its credibility was relatively high.
So after thinking it over, Rocky nodded and immediately ordered the warship to return.
Naturally, he wanted to see Red Water Lake for himself, but the location was even farther than Kasin City. Thunderhawk City had taken three days to reach Kasin City from Backhill Village, and now, even traveling at full speed aboard the warship would take a day or two, and Rocky wasn’t prepared for such a journey; he needed to supply back at the city first.
Thus, led by the War Steed, the fleet soon returned to Thunderhawk City, swiftly resupplied, and left once again that same night, heading straight for the Red Water Lake as Lin Feng had described.
As Rocky expected, even though the warship was much faster than Sky City, the distance from Backhill Village to Kasin City was still significant, and it took them an entire day and night of flight to reach Kasin City. After arriving, the warship began to fly west in search of the legendary Red Water Lake.
Normally, such a flight would be very boring, as there isn’t much to do in the sky, but Rocky and his group fared better, as they were on a mission. Besides searching for Red Water Lake, they also had to observe the terrain and take the chance to map out the area. More importantly, they had to watch for the distribution of demons.
Under these circumstances, Rocky often had the group spread out during their flight, carrying out reconnaissance in units of warships, then reporting all their findings back to him.
“`
With that, on one hand, they discovered many demons, and on the other hand, they quickly found their destination, the Red Water Lake as referred to by Lin Feng.
When Rocky truly saw the lake for the first time, he couldn’t help but inhale sharply. No wonder, no wonder the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild called it Red Water Lake; the name was downright fitting. The water in the lake was actually red!
The area of the lake was immense, roughly estimated to be even larger than Kasin City not far away—at least capable of containing two Kasin Cities. Such a large body of water, yet the lake was red, a bloody red. The stench of blood permeated the air, so much so that the pungent smell was noticeable even when War Steed flew above the lake.
“Is this really water… or is it blood…”
Standing at the bow and looking down, Liliya couldn’t help but feel shocked by the blackish-red water, as the scent of blood was incredibly strong, akin to a massive pool of blood.
Compared to the surprised Liliya, Rocky obviously noticed something different about the water, but he didn’t dwell on it. After flying around above the lake, he ordered the warship to the shore and began to fly along the lakeside.
The water of Red Water Lake was so unique, it naturally concealed unknown secrets. As for what those secrets were, Rocky was not interested at all. His only interest was whether Thunderhawk City could be stationed near this lake, because the moment he saw Red Water Lake, he considered it an ideal location.
This position was just too suitable for Thunderhawk City to land.
Just imagine, if Thunderhawk City could stop by the banks of Red Water Lake, then the pressure of defense would naturally lessen significantly. The lake could act as a natural barrier against the onslaught of demons, allowing Rocky and the troops of Thunderhawk City to focus their forces on the frontal defense, which was the situation Rocky most wanted to see.
Thus, under his command, troops quickly dispersed once more and commenced surveying along the entire lakeshore.
After an initial observation, Rocky ruled out the possibility of landing on the east side because Kasin City lay to the east of Red Water Lake.
Kasin City was situated on the east of Red Water Lake. The distance between them was not considered far. Departing from Red Water Lake, warships could reach Kasin City in just half a day. Therefore, if Thunderhawk City landed on the Lake East Shore, the demons from Kasin City might be drawn over once a battle ensued. With the speed of demons, it would take approximately one day to reach the east shore, and no one understood more than Rocky how many demons were hoarded in Kasin City. Naturally, this was not an outcome he wished to see.
Therefore, the ideal landing spot for Thunderhawk City became the West Lake Shore.
In such a case, Rocky quickly led his troops to concentrate on the survey of the West Lake Shore and mapped the entire topography of the west shore as detailed as possible, even recording it with a Magic Energy Projector.
Whether it was feasible to station Thunderhawk City on the West Lake Shore of Red Water Lake, and whether this location was suitable for the descent of Thunderhawk City, were decisions Rocky actually could not make by himself. These matters required Wynn’s approval, as he was the expert in this area. Sky City had undergone countless upgrades at his hands, and he had more experience than anyone. What Rocky needed to do now was to gather as much intelligence as possible and then take it back for Wynn to review.
Thus, the troops continued to scout along the lakeside for a full two days before Rocky finally led them to leave, evidently to discuss the details with Wynn.
However, just as the War Steed, leading the troops, was departing, a young Beastman stood atop a tall tree in a small forest not far from Red Water Lake. He watched from a distance until he saw the War Steed and the rest of the warships all leaving and growing further away. Then, with a flip, he jumped down from the high treetop, landing steadily before running swiftly into the depths of the forest.
