Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 352: Chapter 327 Counterattack

What you worry about always seems to come true!

Just moments ago, Rocky had been discussing with Glan, worried about a possible retaliation from the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild, and reaffirming the Sky Alliance’s stance on the matter. Yet, no sooner had the two finished their conversation than the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild arrived!

The reconnaissance ships he had deployed for surveillance had three suddenly lose contact. Although it was not yet certain that this was related to the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild, even a guess made with one’s feet would point to them as the culprits!

It had to be said, the enemy’s response was indeed swift. Mere days, fully counted, had passed since Rocky had occupied Backhill Village, and the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild was already on its way.

Upon receiving this news, Rocky naturally couldn’t continue chatting. He immediately stood up and left with Felly, and seeing him hastily departing, Glan followed without delay.

Thus, the three quickly left the mansion and without pausing for breath, boarded the War Steed that was parked inside the village.

“Have the reconnaissance ships outside search at full capacity, and report back immediately if anything is discovered!”

“Order the Void Magic Squad to board, have the First Fleet take off, the Second Fleet to take over the defense of the village, and stand by in alert status, ready to support at any moment the battle breaks out!”

“Yes, sir!”

Having already prepared for the arrival of the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild, Rocky, upon boarding the War Steed, didn’t hesitate to issue a string of commands one after another.

Felly did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately relayed the orders, and the Void Magic Warriors, including Liliya, quickly boarded the War Steed. The six Void Magic Warriors gathered swiftly, and before long, the formidable fleet, led by the War Steed, ascended one after another from Backhill Village into the sky like a looming black cloud drifting away from the village.

Soon after Rocky’s First Fleet left the village, the Second Fleet from Thunderhawk City arrived. Six escort ships gently descended from the sky, halting over the village as per Rocky’s orders to enter a state of alert, ready to support at any moment.

Having commanded the fleet out of Backhill Village, Rocky had it stop not far from the village. He only knew that the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild’s fleet had arrived but lacked details about the situation. Therefore, instead of acting rashly, he prudently waited for further news from the reconnaissance ships.

“My lord! There’s a message from the reconnaissance ship!”

After waiting just a little while longer, Felly ran to Rocky again – the reconnaissance ship had indeed sent the latest intelligence!

“Speak.”

“Reconnaissance ships seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen report that they have spotted the enemy fleet to the southeast. The enemy is confirmed to be the Proud Dragon Commerce Guild, and there are many, at least a dozen large warships approaching the direction of Backhill Village.”

The total number of reconnaissance ships for Thunderhawk City is roughly forty, and they always operate in teams of three when scouting.@@novelbin@@

“Understood.”

Rocky nodded after receiving the update, but didn’t issue new orders immediately. Instead, he furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment.

It seemed that the situation was unfolding just as he had anticipated. The Proud Dragon Commerce Guild had not given up, and not only that, they had deployed a substantial fleet aiming, clearly intending to take back Backhill Village.

With this in mind, he said to Felly, “Have the reconnaissance ships keep monitoring the enemy’s movements, don’t let the other reconnaissance ships slack off, and search the surroundings thoroughly to prevent a potential ambush. Then, command the fleet to move towards the southeast.”

“Yes, sir!”

Felly left with an acknowledgment, and before long, the fleet with War Steed at its lead adjusted its course, beginning to move slowly in the southeast direction.

“Lord Glan, what do you plan to do later…?”

As the fleet began to gradually move southeast, Rocky turned to Glan beside him.

“City Lord Rocky, I will go and talk to them first,” Glan replied with a slight smile, displaying no sign of fear, as if the imminent battle was of no concern to him. He seemed rather interested in the armor Rocky was currently wearing, examining it up and down as he spoke.

Standing before him, Rocky had already donned the White Demon Armor, transforming from a city lord into a Void Magic Warrior. His entire demeanor and presence had changed significantly from before.

For Glan, it was the first time he had laid eyes on the White Demon Armor, a suit of top-tier armor equipped with new technology that he had long heard of. He was well aware of the White Demon’s various exploits; it was no exaggeration to say that Rocky had joined the Sky Alliance thanks to this armor. Naturally, he couldn’t help but take a closer look.

As for how much Glan cared about his armor, Rocky wasn’t concerned. What truly mattered to him was whether Glan would stand up for him on behalf of the Sky Alliance. So, upon hearing Glan’s affirmative response, he finally felt at ease inside and said, “Thank you, Lord. I will join you in meeting with them later.”

“Heh, the pleasure is mine, City Lord,” Glan responded.

After a brief exchange with Glan, Rocky turned his gaze to the sky.

The time was just around noon, the sun at its most intense. Even though they were midair and wearing Void Magic Armor to shield them, Rocky could still feel the scorching heat from the sun. So much so, that when he looked towards the southeast, he could hardly see anything under the fierce sunlight.
