LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 508: Chapter 472 Alliance Mission (Part 1) Chapter 508: Chapter 472 Alliance Mission (Part 1) “What do you plan to do next?”

Handling war prisoners was not something Rocky needed to manage himself, he just needed to issue an order and people below would naturally take care of it properly. Thus, once this matter was arranged, Rocky returned to the City Lord’s Mansion in Thunderhawk City with Berg and Karina. After all, he was the landlord here, always having to fulfill the hospitality expected of him.

In the study of the City Lord’s Mansion where the three of them were having afternoon teat, Karina suddenly asked.

“Me? I plan to stay in Backhill Village for now.”

“You’re not going to Nut Airspace?”

Glancing at Rocky, both Karina and Berg appeared somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting him to do so.

Because while Backhill Village was important, the Sky Alliance had already dispatched Sky City to guard it, and given Rocky’s contributions and importance to the Alliance, it was impossible for them to oust him, driving him out of his proverbial nest. So why would Rocky stay in Backhill Village, when it was so dangerous?

“No, the mines here, and the workers; I can’t just ignore these responsibilities.”

At their puzzled expressions, Rocky sighed helplessly, well aware of how dangerous staying in Backhill Village was.

Although Sirius City was defending it, ever since the Demons grew restless, the world had changed. Previously, if a large Sky City were to defend it, it could be described as foolproof; yet today, no one dared offer such a guarantee, for encountering a Magic Dragon, or worse, a Great Demon, even a large Sky City could meet the fate of annihilation.

However, as Rocky said, someone ultimately needed to manage Backhill Village, like now for instance.

Though the village had become a battlefield since the onset of the war, it was still protected by the Alliance Army, and had not suffered too much from the ravages of war. However, mining activities had stopped, so as soon as the war ended and Rocky returned to the village, he immediately resumed the mining operations. It wouldn’t be long before the first batch of minerals were extracted, and transporting and selling them would invariably involve Thunderhawk City, necessitating his presence in the village.

“In that case, let us go and combat Demons?”

Seeing Rocky intended to stay in Backhill Village, Karina then made a suggestion; she planned to combat Demons!

“Oh? Aren’t you going to the protection zones?”

Upon hearing this, Rocky paused and turned to ask Karina and Berg.

“She may not, but I certainly will!”

As he asked this, Berg quickly shook his head, indicating he had no intention of fighting Demons.

“Now, the protection zones are all controlled by Sky Cities, the previous trade networks have been disrupted, it’s a great time to make money. I’m not going to mess around with you guys. As soon as I deliver these people, I will enter the protection zone of Eternal City.”

While shaking his head, Berg revealed his plans, he was definitely going into the protection zone, as it was indeed a prime opportunity to make money, one he would certainly not miss.

“I’m not going.”

And once he had finished speaking, Karina spoke up, “I don’t need others to protect me.”

This decision was very much in line with her character. From any angle, Karina was not the type to willingly be protected. Moreover, to be fair, her strength was indeed formidable. While Rocky’s reputation might now exceed Karina’s, if the two were to engage in a battle that could destroy a city, the outcome of who would win and who would lose was not certain; this was enough to prove Karina’s strength.

“How about it? Shall we team up for another job?”

After making it clear that she would definitely not enter the sanctuary, Karina turned to Rocky.

The people, who had been at peace for decades, were finally alerted by the demon attack, reminding everyone of the horrors of demons. The City Lords finally realized who the real enemy was. Thus, not only the three major forces formed a posse to attack the demons, but some braver and stronger City Lords also took action.

Karina was clearly one of those very courageous and moderately strong City Lords.

Rose City was currently undergoing a massive upgrade, and since most of the suitable targets had hidden themselves in the sanctuary, Karina decided to focus on attacking the demons. Since Rocky was also unoccupied with major matters, they might as well continue to cooperate, which would also increase their efficiency.

“Well…”

Understanding Karina’s thoughts, Rocky frowned and thought for a moment.

This idea was certainly good because, in a broader sense, subduing demons would contribute to the whole of the skies. On a smaller scale, it could also be quite profitable since demon materials were very valuable and Rocky was naturally willing to participate.

But…

He was currently overwhelmed with tasks.

Although the population matters were almost addressed, and the whitewashed population wouldn’t return for another two to three months, Rocky still had other matters to handle.

The needs of Backhill Village were one such matter.

He was also waiting for the Sky Alliance to deliver the money and Contribution Points they owed him. This money was really important to Rocky; both Karina and Berg had already received their payments and thus began expanding their cities. So, Rocky needed to wait for this money as well.

So, after some thought, Rocky said, “It’s definitely possible, but I’ll need to wait a bit. I need to wait until the Alliance gives me the money and Contribution Points they owe me, then I can make time to join you.”

“No problem, I don’t have much to do until the city’s expansion is complete, and there are plenty of demons around Backhill Village. I’ll wait for you here,”

Nodding her head, Karina expressed that she could wait. After all, there were demons everywhere on the land, and she could start subduing them on her own while waiting for Rocky.

Afterwards, the three of them went their separate ways. Berg went straight to the sanctuary in Eternal City as he had mentioned. Not only that, according to his own words, he also planned to visit the sanctuaries of the three major forces to try to do all the business he could.

Karina, on the other hand, instructed Rose City to move to the vicinity of Backhill Village and start subduing demons on her own until Rocky had dealt with all his matters.

As for Rocky, he stayed in Backhill Village, both to help the village fully recover its former order and normal operations and to wait for news from the Alliance.

This waiting did not last long; in fact, just three days later, he met with Glan.

In fact, during this period, Rocky and Glan had met frequently because he had been asking Glan what was going on, why the Alliance hadn’t settled the accounts yet. It wasn’t that Rocky was petty; he was genuinely anxious. Given the current tense situation, it was crucial to develop quickly.

But, to Rocky’s surprise, this time Glan came to see him not to bring the overdue payments and Contribution Points, but instead he brought him a task assigned by the Alliance.
