Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 389: Chapter 359: Joining the Battle!

“`

On the last day of April in Sky Era Year 118, the entire sky was plunged into panic, for war was coming!

More than ten large forces and families, along with numerous Independent Sky Cities, launched attacks on the Sky Alliance during the final days of April, a message spread by the Shadow Alliance to every corner of the sky, not only letting everyone know that war was coming, but also filling each person with a sense of personal danger.

Although since the beginning of the Sky Era, the sky had never been at peace—old eras had been phased out, and old systems had crumbled, propelling the world into a new era and causing constant warfare in the sky—these conflicts were usually very limited, mostly between a few Sky Cities or among certain forces, hardly affecting the entire sky.

But this time was different, for this time the one being attacked was the Sky Alliance!

As one of the three major powers, the Sky Alliance comprised over a thousand Sky Cities—over a thousand Sky Cities! Once such a massive force entered war mode, the consequences were unimaginable.

The other side of the war, the forces that actively attacked the Alliance, were not weak either. According to the Shadow Alliance’s statistics, up to now, seven Great Alliances and the Nine Great Families, totaling sixteen large powers, had declared war on the Sky Alliance. These forces might not be comparable to the Sky Alliance when alone, but when combined, the total number of their Sky Cities also exceeded two hundred!

Besides these families and forces, many more Independent Sky Cities joined the storm. According to rough estimates by the Shadow Alliance, so far, at least forty medium or large Sky Cities have launched attacks on the Alliance, or have intercepted the Alliance’s troops—and that’s just for now. As the war continues, the number of Sky Cities joining the battle could multiply.

Adding up, the number of Sky Cities involved in this war had reached an astonishing level, not exaggerating to call it the most widespread war since the Sky Era began.

And don’t forget, the true instigator behind all this, the Kafka Empire, had not even made a move yet!

When many City Lords received intelligence of this great war through the Shadow Alliance, quite a few saw through the true nature of the conflict. In their view, the forces challenging the Alliance at this moment were merely the vanguard; the real mastermind had yet to take action!

In fact, not just others, but the Sky Alliance itself was well aware of this.

As the whole world learned of the outbreak of war, and felt entangled by it, the interior of the Sky Alliance—one party in the war—was far from as tense as outsiders imagined.

Why?

The reason was simple, because it was far from the time for the Sky Alliance to be tense!

Even though it was a sudden attack without any preparation, resulting in the loss of quite a few members in just a few days into the outbreak of the war, looking like a heavy blow, in reality, such losses were nothing much to the Sky Alliance…

Nut.

The name of the Sky Goddess, but in this world, it represented a God City, namely Nut God City, the headquarters of the Sky Alliance.

At this moment, within Nut God City’s Alliance Administrative Council, the Elder Council of Eleven, the Alliance’s top administrative body responsible for managing the entire Sky Alliance, was seated around the council chamber.

The eleven Elders, representing the highest power of the Sky Alliance, sat around a huge round table. These Elders included men and women, even members of other races, and contrary to what people might imagine, not all were old folks; the youngest of the eleven Elders was just over forty, and of course, the oldest was nearly a contemporary of Aniye, a true elder indeed.@@novelbin@@

“In five days’ time, sixteen medium Sky Cities, and twenty-one small Sky Cities have been attacked; eleven have been taken, nine destroyed, and the rest are in combat.”

In the silent conference hall, filled with dim lighting that made the faces of the eleven Elders a bit blurry—letting one hear their voices but not clearly see their faces—an Elder slowly spoke up, adding an aura of mysterious dignity to their presence.

The Sky Alliance indeed does not easily admit small Sky Cities as members, but don’t forget that Alliance members themselves also continuously develop. Some members, after growing and strengthening, will build new Sky Cities. Thereby, the Alliance also has no shortage of small Sky Cities.

In this great war, naturally, these small Sky Cities were the first to suffer.

“What do you think of this?”

After this Elder finished speaking, they looked towards the other Elders.

Just a few days’ time was enough for the Sky Alliance to lose and have destroyed twenty Sky Cities, enough to imagine the enemy’s offensive was incredibly fierce!

However, after the Elder’s words faded away, a moment passed and another Elder spoke:

“These losses are within our capacity to bear.”

“Insignificant.”

“Do we need to counterattack? If we start now, we could probably crush the enemy within a month.”
