LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 747: Chapter 710: Reunite

Since Thunderhawk City landed at the bottom of the lake and began its upgrade, Rocky had practically taken up residence on the War Steed, personally deploying the fleet every day and participating in defense missions. He did this to ensure that Thunderhawk City would be entirely safe during this half-month period.

However, the flooding around Red Water Lake indeed proved to be a great help. Under the raging floodwaters, the countless demons that once thrived on the lake shore were drowned, and even those few that survived fled elsewhere, some even to Kasin City. Not only Normal Demons but also high-level demons did the same, making the surrounding area of Thunderhawk City relatively safe.

“If only it could stay this safe…”

Standing at the bow of the War Steed, Rocky looked down and saw a small, flooded grove, which wasn’t large to begin with, with only a few treetops barely visible above the water, looking lonely and isolated.

Seeing this, Rocky let out a smile, because in his view, as long as the floodwater at the lakeshore didn’t recede, Thunderhawk City was relatively safe. His only concern was what would happen in a few days, as the lake shore was already submerged. But let’s not forget, Thunderhawk City needed at least half a month to complete its modifications and upgrade. During this period, the floodwater couldn’t remain forever. And once the floodwaters receded, if the demons were to launch a renewed offense, things could get troublesome.

This was the only issue he worried about, but he had also made early preparations for it. Whether it was the warships or the Void Magic Corps, they were all on high alert, ready to respond to any problems. As long as an attack by thousands of demons on Thunderhawk City wasn’t imminent, the combined attacking capabilities of the Rune Fleet and Air Magic Corps would give them a chance to ensure the city’s safety.

With this calculation in mind, Rocky extended the patrol range in the following few days, dispatching the fleet to the outskirts of the flood to scout out where those fleeing demons might be hiding, thereby preparing for any potential crises.

……

……

While Rocky was busy with the upgrades of Thunderhawk City, The Three Great Alliances was also making moves.

The first was the Sky Alliance’s eventual capitulation under pressure from the two giants, the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute.

Prior to this, having acquired Mana Runes from Rocky and thus unilaterally delaying the third counter-offensive, the Sky Alliance saw no hurry in starting the battle.

Having obtained the coveted Mana Rune—even if it was only a First Level Rune—the Alliance, with its own formidable research team, believed that it wouldn’t take them long to further develop the Rune Technology, so they clearly didn’t want to initiate the third counter-attack war so soon.

The Sky Alliance indeed had the capability, not to mention their application of Mana Runes in a matter of months, which was enough to demonstrate the strength of their research team.

To date, the Sky Alliance had already fully assembled a ‘Rune Fleet’ and a ‘Rune Air Magic Corps’.

Admittedly, these two forces termed ‘Rune Troops’ needed quotation marks because their warships and Armor were inscribed with simple First Level Runes, lacking any sophisticated Rune Technology. Even so, these forces received a considerable boost to their combat effectiveness thanks to the Runes inscribed, and with their large numbers, they were already leading the other two forces.

With such a development momentum, the Sky Alliance believed that by delaying the third counter-attack a few more years, they could dominate the skies with their Rune research, and could even possibly win the counter-offensive war with their vast forces.

Unfortunately, the Alliance’s wishful thinking ultimately came to naught, because the other two forces would not give them the time to pull away. In order to force the Alliance to join the war, the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute even threatened to start a conflict. It cornered the Alliance into a compromise, but even so, the Sky Alliance still managed to buy themselves a year and delayed the launch of the third counteroffensive war to one year later.

To this, the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute were obviously dissatisfied, but the Two Giants also knew that they couldn’t push the Sky Alliance too hard. After all, they were a major player just like themselves, and pressuring them too much would be bad for everyone. Even if they agreed to the Alliance’s demands, the Two Giants would not just take a loss, nor would they sit back and watch the Sky Alliance rise during this one year. They also put forward their own demands to the Alliance.

This demand was related to Rocky!

After Rocky sold the Mana Rune to the Sky Alliance, the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute were really pushed into a corner. If the Mana Rune remained solely in Rocky’s hands, it would have been barely acceptable for The Three Great Alliances, as this would not disrupt the balance between the three parties. However, Rocky unexpectedly sold the Mana Rune, and what’s more, to one of the Three Giants, the Sky Alliance. This turn of events was quite unfavorable for the other two giants.

With the Sky Alliance obtaining the Mana Rune, even if it was just a First Level Rune, they would inevitably start to widen the gap with everyone else. This was well understood by the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute, which is why they were pushing the Sky Alliance to launch a war with them—to not allow their opponent the time to develop. Meanwhile, the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute once again set their sights on Rocky.

Now that the Sky Alliance had acquired the Mana Rune, trying to take the Rune from them would be akin to snatching food from the jaws of a tiger—practically impossible. Thus, the only path left for the Kafka Empire and the Magic Energy Research Institute was to get the Rune from Rocky, and they had to succeed without fail!

In this situation, the former six-party forces once again gathered together.

“Has the Sky Alliance agreed to our terms?”

As he spoke, Rick’s Magic Energy Image looked toward the Magic Energy Images of the Imperial Chancellor from the Kafka Empire and the Elder from the Magic Energy Research Institute.

“They have agreed.”

“What about the measures against the White Demon?”

As these words were spoken, five Magic Energy Images simultaneously turned to look at the same person—not someone else, but Denise from Sigma Corporation.

Seeing everyone look toward her, Denise smiled slightly and then nodded, “Everything is ready.”

“Are you sure? This is our last chance before the war.”

Despite Denise’s confident demeanor, the others couldn’t help but ask. After all, as they said, this was their last chance before going to war, and they had to get the Rune from Rocky this time.

“Don’t worry, I have developed a brand new Armor for Rocky.”

Facing everyone’s skepticism, Denise nodded with great certainty, exuding immense confidence.
