Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 379: Chapter 350: The Second Letter@@novelbin@@

After handing the defense of Backhill Village over to the Alliance Army, time blinked past–half a month had gone by.

In that half-month, the demons had launched an attack on Backhill Village almost every four or five days, with the largest assault involving more than four hundred demons at one time; however, every attack was successfully repelled by the Alliance Army.

Rocky was both pleased and a little smug about the performance of the Alliance Army, because when he had initially spent all 30,000 Contribution Points to hire the army, Liliya had advised him not to hire so many troops. After all, even without the White Demon Armor, Thunderhawk City still had its own warship fleet.

But looking at the results, Rocky’s choice had clearly been the right one. The Alliance Army had managed to repel the demons without once needing Rocky to lift a finger, which undoubtedly greatly relieved the pressure on both him and Thunderhawk City, of course, it was a good thing.

Moreover, let’s not forget that, once the invading demons were eliminated, Rocky would easily gain a great deal of Demon Materials!

Although most of the demons had been blown to bits by the relentless barrage of the warships, there were still a considerable number of demons that could be salvaged. The Demon Materials recovered could easily be converted into income for Thunderhawk City, which made Rocky even happier.

Of course, Rocky didn’t hog all the recovered Demon Materials for himself but gave half of them to Te Nong and his commanding unit, as additional earnings for the Alliance Army’s mission this time, leaving both parties quite satisfied with the happy outcome.

Meanwhile, during this time, the research on the new generation of White Demon Armor was also progressing smoothly. According to Rocky, Pelaya had initially figured out the principle of how Azure Fang absorbed and released mana. This meant that it wouldn’t be long before the design plans for the new generation of White Demon Armor could be finalized.

As for the Tank Model 1 that Rocky himself was researching, progress was relatively slow. After all, he was new to this field. However, neither he nor Orton and his colleagues ever expected him to fully perfect the Tank Model 1. What Rocky really needed to do with this improvement was to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the design and manufacturing of armor. As long as he could achieve that, it would be sufficient.

So all in all, Rocky had a very comfortable half month. Not only were there no unexpected mishaps, but everything was also going according to his expectations. Under these circumstances, time quickly moved into April of the year 118.

After becoming the center of attention in February and March, Rocky vanished from the public eye. But as he disappeared, another person returned to the spotlight: Denise of Sigma Corporation, and her Holy Angel Armor.

After three months of competition, the Arena’s first quarter season ended successfully, and the eight players with the best performance and highest points advanced to the playoffs, including both Denise and her Holy Angel Armor and the player sent by Uranus Corporation, along with the trial mecha of the sixth-generation Void Magic Armor.

It was because of these two contestants in the playoffs that the entire focus of April was on the Arena playoffs, and Denise, along with the player from Uranus Corporation, advanced as expected from their respective upper and lower brackets, eventually meeting in the finals where they fought an all-out battle!

The attention this match received was so immense that it was almost beyond description, and people had numerous speculations about the outcome. Some believed that the Holy Angel Armor from Sigma Corporation would win, as, even though it was a Fifth and a Half Generation armor, it was already a completed product and could not fail.

But others thought the winner would be the trial mech from Uranus Corporation. These people felt that even though Uranus had only sent a trial mech, it was still a trial mech of the sixth-generation armor, which represented such advanced technology that it was considered revolutionary. So the final victory would surely belong to Uranus Corporation.

Amidst the various speculations, the match officially started, and it lasted an entire day before concluding. In the end, the victory went to Denise and the Holy Angel Armor!

With her win, Sigma Corporation and the Holy Angel Armor instantly became the focus of the world, finally bringing some of its former glory back to the long-silent Sigma Corporation. Everything naturally was attributed to Denise; she didn’t let her father down and successfully made Sigma Corporation stand out in front of its competitors with the Holy Angel Armor she had developed.

Following this victory, Sigma Corporation didn’t waste the excellent opportunity, promptly announcing the price and other information regarding the Holy Angel Armor, starting to officially accept pre-orders.

As the strongest armor of the present day and also a Special Armor, Holy Angel’s price soared to a staggering 990,000 Gold Coins, which could be said to be the sky-high price of Special Armor. However, that did not dampen people’s enthusiasm, as The Three Great Alliances all pre-ordered more than ten sets, and other alliances and families also made their pre-orders, to varying extents.

Not to mention them, even Orton and his colleagues were tempted upon hearing this news. They wanted Rocky to buy a set for research. Holy Angel was the most advanced armor of its time and indeed was equipped with a lot of extremely advanced technology; Orton and his colleagues couldn’t help but be interested.

In response, while Rocky was quite interested, the price was simply too steep, so he had to delay the matter for discussion at another time.

April of the year 118 passed by like this, with the first half of the month being unusually quiet following the Holy Angel Armor’s championship victory, without any significant events occurring until this day.

On this day, just as he had been in the previous few days, Rocky was in the study of the City Lord’s Mansion, pondering over how to perfect the Tank Model 1.

Perfecting the Tank Model 1 had given Rocky quite a headache since it was his first time independently undertaking such a task and could almost be described as completely clueless. After more than half a month of research, he had managed to improve the tracks of the armor, making travel over land much smoother. However, since making this change, he had been at a loss for new ideas and directions.

“Rocky.”

“Hmm?”

Startled from his reverie while staring at the design plans, Rocky abruptly turned around and saw Liliya standing at the doorway of the study.

“What is it?”

Standing up from his seat and taking a sip of water, he casually asked.

“Your letter.”

As she spoke, Liliya approached him and handed him an envelope.

“A letter?”

Seeing the envelope Liliya handed to him, Rocky was momentarily taken aback, and immediately, a certain person came to mind–the last time he received a letter, it was from that person.
