Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 381: Chapter 352: Capture!

What’s going on…?

Watching Cyril directly board the carriage, Rocky furrowed his brows, wondering what exactly was happening?

Rocky completely failed to understand the purpose of Cyril’s visit and was even more baffled by the words she had just spoken; his mind was filled with questions. However, now was certainly not the time to ask; he would have to wait until they returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.

With that thought, he had no choice but to also board the carriage and then rode back to the City Lord’s Mansion with Cyril.

Sitting face to face in the same carriage, neither spoke a word, and the entire carriage was so silent it seemed as though even breathing sounds had disappeared.

During the ride, Rocky kept looking at Cyril, who was constantly gazing out the window. The two did not even make eye contact for a moment. Fortunately, Thunderhawk City wasn’t very large, so the distance from the Skyport to the City Lord’s Mansion wasn’t particularly long, and they arrived in no time.

Upon reaching the City Lord’s Mansion, Cyril, stepping down from the carriage, saw Liliya and Monte among others, standing at the entrance of the mansion to receive her.

Although Cyril was Rocky’s cousin by blood, one must not forget that she was not only the daughter of the Mairente Clan Leader but also a City Lord herself. Thus, Rocky had prepared a very formal reception, treating her entirely as a City Lord.

After that, surrounded by a group of people, Cyril followed Rocky into the City Lord’s Hall.

“Rocky, I’d like to talk to you alone.”

Once they arrived at the City Lord’s Hall, Cyril cut straight to the chase without any superfluous chatter.

In response, Rocky thought for a moment, then nodded to Liliya, and everyone else left the hall, leaving only Cyril and him.

But when everyone had left, Rocky had originally thought Cyril truly had something urgent to discuss, and was ready to listen attentively, only to find that she fell silent again.

The silence descended once more, neither spoke, a scene reminiscent of their ride in the carriage. Rocky watched Cyril, who now had her head down, neither looking at him nor speaking, making the City Lord’s Hall, with just the two of them, feel even emptier.@@novelbin@@

Time passed by the minute, and before long, a half hour had slipped by, then an hour of complete quietness elapsed, yet Cyril still showed no signs of speaking.

This thoroughly confused Rocky; he could tell that Cyril definitely had something important to discuss, but why wasn’t she speaking? He couldn’t figure it out.

During this process, he attempted several times to ask, only to stop each time, uncertain of what exactly to ask.

Forget it, let’s just wait for her to initiate the conversation.

Watching Cyril, Rocky silently sighed, deciding to wait.

But just then, as another half hour passed, a series of urgent knocking suddenly erupted!

The unexpected knocking abruptly broke the prolonged silence, startling Rocky, but before he could gather his senses, Liliya burst through the hall doors, hurrying to his side.

“Rocky, something bad has happened!”

“What happened?”

Giving Cyril a sidelong glance, Rocky turned his gaze to Liliya, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

“Te Nong has sent word, the Mairente family is preparing to attack Backhill Village, their army has already arrived!”

“What!”

Upon hearing this from Liliya, Rocky immediately stood up from the City Lord’s seat, followed by a buzzing noise in his head, leaving him in a daze.

The Mairente family, attacking Backhill Village?

This was completely beyond his expectations, so much so that he found it difficult to accept for a moment.

What exactly is going on?

“How did such a thing suddenly arise?”

Due to the suddenness and unexpectedness of the situation, Rocky’s mind inevitably became somewhat confused, but he quickly suppressed the confusion and turned his gaze to Cyril!

And this time when he looked at Cyril, he found that Cyril was also looking at her!

Ever since it was just the two of them left in the City Lord’s Hall, this was the first time their eyes had met, and it was this eye contact that helped Rocky understand at least one thing—that the thing Cyril had mentioned when she first saw him was indeed this matter!

“Bring someone! Arrest her”, he ordered.

After glancing at Cyril, Rocky didn’t have time to think further, immediately called the guards outside, and had Cyril detained within the hall; then, he left the City Lord’s Hall with Liliya.

The incident had happened too suddenly, so sudden that Rocky barely had time to understand the cause and could only deal with the outcome immediately.

After leaving the City Lord’s Hall, he went to his study and then summoned Monte and others.

“Who received the message?”

Sitting in his study, Rocky looked around and asked.

“My Lord, it was I,”

Upon his question, Felly immediately stood up. As the commander of the Thunderhawk City fleet, Felly often collaborated with Te Nong, which is why he had received the message from Te Nong.

“What did Te Nong say? Are you sure it was the Mairente Family?”

“Sure, and according to Te Nong, the Mairente Family has dispatched two mid-sized Sky Cities this time, with at least a few hundred warships; they have already surrounded Backhill Village completely.”

“When did this happen?”

“Just now.”

“What else did he say?”

“Te Nong also said…” Felly paused slightly and looked at Rocky before continuing, “Te Nong also said that the Mairente Family has demanded that you be handed over, otherwise, they will launch an attack…”

As soon as Felly finished speaking, everyone in the study turned to look at Rocky, and they noticed that he had already closed his eyes and furrowed his brows.

Clearly, like everyone else, he was completely stunned by this sudden attack; none of them had anticipated that the Mairente Family would suddenly drop from the sky, nor that they would bring such a numerous force.

Two mid-sized Sky Cities.

At least a few hundred warships.

This was clearly a rhythm meant to annihilate them!

So when Felly finished speaking, everyone watched Rocky, no one daring to speak carelessly on such a significant matter.

While everyone watched, Rocky remained silent for a long time as he tried to clear his thoughts as much as possible, striving to understand what exactly was happening, unfortunately without any clue.

In this state, several minutes passed before he finally reopened his eyes and then announced, “Immediately order Thunderhawk City to fly back to Backhill Village.”

Having said this, he stood up and walked out; he had finally understood why Cyril had come to see him—it was obviously about this matter!

However, just as he had just reached the door of the study, and before stepping out, he suddenly paused, then turned back to Liliya and said, “Do not move Sky City yet, wait for my return before doing anything.”

Having changed his command, he then left the study and headed straight for the City Lord’s Hall.
