Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 391: Chapter 360: Target@@novelbin@@

Since there was no way to avoid it, he could only face the difficulty head on!

Having been swept into this century’s unprecedented storm, and finding it impossible to flee, he decided to throw himself into the midst of the tempest, letting it rage even more fiercely!

This was Rocky’s train of thought.

Given his current identity, since he was prepared to go to war, it was natural for him to side with the Sky Alliance. Although, by his own preferences, he had no particular bias towards either side of the war, he was, after all, a member of the Sky Alliance. Moreover, to be fair, the Alliance had treated him quite generously since he joined, so Rocky was determined to stand firmly with the Alliance’s camp.

As for his next target, Rocky had already decided on the Mairente Family!

The feud between him and the Mairente Family stretched back a long way, starting from when he was first tricked out of Sky City, and had continued until now, with both sides engaged in countless open and covert battles. Thus, once he decided to join the fray, the Mairente Family was the first to come to his mind.

It was time to settle scores with this family once and for all!

Of course, Rocky’s decision to target the Mairente Family was not solely due to their longstanding grievances but also because he felt that, at least from the current situation, they were the easiest to strike against.

Honestly, if outsiders knew of this plan, they would definitely think Rocky had gone mad!

Even if the Mairente Family was slightly weaker compared to other families declaring war against the Alliance, in the face of Rocky and Thunderhawk City, they were still a formidable force, not to mention that they were not weak compared to other families.

So to say that the Mairente Family was the easiest to strike against was a joke, wasn’t it?

Outsiders would certainly think so.

But Rocky thought otherwise.

If it were an ordinary time, his idea could indeed be described as madness. From any angle, the gap between him and the Mairente Family was enormous. This huge gap meant that even if he hated them to death, he couldn’t actively seek revenge, much less use war as a means of revenge; otherwise, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

But now was different.

Firstly, it was a time of war, and the Mairente Family had already declared war on the Sky Alliance. They not only had to face immense wartime pressure but were also focusing all their attention on the Sky Alliance, which gave Rocky a perfect opportunity.

Secondly, while it was true that the Mairente Family was powerful with numerous smaller Sky Cities within the family, it should not be forgotten that during wartime, these cities would be spread out. This dispersal meant that the family’s localized power was not as formidable, as was the case now.

Now, Abraham was leading a large force surrounding Backhill Village. Although they had trapped Sirius City and Gulov City, they were similarly entangled themselves, effectively dispersing the Mairente Family’s overall strength.

Thirdly, the current internal state of the Mairente Family was in shambles.

Though Rocky was not privy to the intimate details of the family’s internal affairs, the fact that Cyril had left the family allowed him to speculate, even in the simplest terms, about the predicament of Clan Leader Atted. Such internal strife was bound to further diminish the Mairente Family’s strength.

Each of these factors alone might not be enough to fatally impact a great family like Mairente, but if all three factors occurred simultaneously and synergistically, the Mairente Family, although still strong, would not be as formidable as they appeared on the surface. As long as the right opportunity arose, even Rocky could cause them a great deal of trouble.

This was much like how the Mairente Family had provoked them by taking advantage of the Alliance losing Tulip City. That’s why Rocky said the Mairente Family was the easiest to strike against.

Of course, even so, the Mairente Family was still not an easy opponent. Compared to Rocky, they were still a massive entity that was hard to shake. Therefore, if one wanted to take action against the Mairente Family, one had to make thorough preparations in all aspects.

For this purpose, Rocky, on one hand, purchased intelligence from the Shadow Alliance and, once the intelligence was in hand, formulated a detailed battle plan. On the other hand, he called on Lord Glan and shared his plans with him.

No matter how many personal reasons Rocky had for taking action against the Mairente Family, the Mairente Family was ultimately an enemy of the Alliance, and Rocky was ultimately a member of the Alliance. Thus, no matter how it was put, he was still fighting on behalf of the Alliance. Therefore, it was essential to let the Alliance know about this matter. More importantly, whether the Alliance could provide some support in this regard was what Rocky was most concerned about.

If he could have the support of the Alliance behind him, then Rocky’s assurance was even greater.

“Hmm…”

However, when he met with Lord Glan and shared his ideas, Lord Glan did not immediately answer but instead pondered for a moment.

What exactly Rocky was trying to convey was, of course, crystal clear to Lord Glan. And in supporting this matter, the Alliance definitely would not be stingy—after all, this was about fighting for the Alliance, which was beyond question. Thus, if it were any other member, Lord Glan would have agreed immediately and told them to go ahead with it.

But facing Rocky, Lord Glan did not do so.

Because for the Sky Alliance, Rocky was different.

The Alliance had allowed Rocky to join not because of his sheer power but because of the new technology he controlled, and his greatest utility to the Alliance lay in this aspect. In the eyes of the Alliance, even if Rocky didn’t participate in the battles like other members, it was acceptable.

In this regard, Lord Glan’s views completely coincided with the Alliance’s. He didn’t wish for Rocky to participate in this war at all.

As the Alliance Ambassador, Lord Glan was more aware than anyone of the scale of this war. In a battle of this magnitude, whether Rocky and his Thunderhawk City participated or not, it really didn’t matter.

Rather than taking risks, it would be better to hide prudently—even hiding near the core domain controlled by the Alliance, near Nut God City, was an option. After all, as long as Rocky and Thunderhawk City were safe and sound, and as long as they could successfully develop the new technology, that would be the greatest contribution to the Alliance.

“City Lord Rocky, about this matter… please reconsider…”

So after pondering for a moment, Lord Glan looked at Rocky with evident difficulty, the implication was very clear—he did not want him to endanger himself.

“Lord Glan, my mind is made up. Please speak favorably to the Alliance and try to ensure that the Alliance provides the necessary support.”

However, faced with Lord Glan’s persuasion, Rocky showed an unusual determination. Having decided to participate in the war, he would not renege or easily change his mind.

“This…”

Hearing him speak this way, Lord Glan opened his mouth but ultimately did not continue with more objections. He had interacted with Rocky for some time now and knew that Rocky was not a City Lord without his own opinions. Whatever he decided, surely Glan couldn’t stop him. Therefore, after opening his mouth, he simply nodded his head.

“City Lord Rocky, I will immediately contact the Alliance and inform you as soon as I have news.”

Having said this, Lord Glan didn’t delay any further and directly left the City Lord’s Mansion to contact the Sky Alliance.
