Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 397: Chapter 366 Strategy

With confusion, Rocky went to the embassy, and by the time he left, his face was etched with gravity…

Returning to his own City Lord’s Mansion, Rocky didn’t meet with anyone, but instead locked himself in the study and stared at the world map all night long, not emerging until the next day.

“What did Wilton say?”

When Rocky came out of the study, the gravity on his face had vanished, seemingly as if nothing were amiss, but anyone could tell that the conversation between him and Wilton had been of great importance, a subject not for others to inquire about; only Liliya had the right to ask.

“Nothing much,”

Yet faced with Liliya, Rocky simply shook his head, “His Excellency the Holy Knight just provided me with some intelligence.”

Glancing at Liliya, Rocky smiled, obviously not wanting to divulge more about his conversation with Wil. So before Liliya could speak, he asked in return, “Has Glan arrived?”

“He came early in the morning, but he’s already left,” Liliya nodded and, while speaking, she took out a map, “He asked me to give this to you, said it was Wilton’s instruction.”

“Yes, that’s the one!”

As Rocky took the map Liliya passed to him, a smile immediately appeared on his face, “This is a military map of the Tulip City War Zone!”

After briefly inspecting the map, he immediately ordered, “Call everyone here!”

After saying this, he hurried back to the study, while Liliya sighed watching his retreating figure and then went to summon the others as instructed.

In a short while, everyone once again gathered in Rocky’s study, but when they arrived, they discovered that beside the world map hanging on the wall, another map had been added—the one Glan had brought, showing the Tulip City War Zone.

“Yesterday I already learned about the general situation of the war zone from Wilton.”

Once everyone had arrived, Rocky wasted no time, standing in front of the war zone map and getting straight to the point, “According to Wilton, the main forces of the Alliance Army are now concentrated in the northwest of Tulip City, in the airspace of the Purple Leaf Forest, right here…”

As he spoke, he made a mark on the map.

Now that warfare took place in the skies, indicating the locations of combat meant either using precise coordinates or the names of the actual places.

After making a mark on the map, Rocky continued, “Here the Alliance Army has gathered eight major Sky Cities, eleven medium Sky Cities, and numerous small Sky Cities.”

“As for the enemy, they are launching an attack from the southeast direction of Tulip City, with their main base located roughly here, in the airspace over the Horse Pasture Grasslands,”

“According to Wilton’s recent recon, the enemy’s forces are at least one to two times that of the Alliance Army, with fifteen major Sky Cities, nineteen medium Sky Cities, and even more small Sky Cities—and this is just a rough estimate. Wil doesn’t know if the enemy has any forces that haven’t been brought to light yet,”

“That’s quite a lot…”

The intelligence provided by Wilton allowed everyone to have a much more detailed understanding of the situation in the Tulip City War Zone, so when Rocky finished speaking, almost everyone involuntarily took a sharp intake of breath.

Clearly, the situation in the Tulip City War Zone was much more dire than anyone had imagined!

The enemy had invested over thirty major and medium Sky Cities in this war zone—what did that signify?

If we assume each large or medium Sky City has around two hundred warships, then the thirty Sky Cities combined would possess over six thousand warships! And this is just a conservative estimate; in reality, the fleets of the major Sky Cities likely numbered more than two hundred, meaning the enemy’s total number of warships would certainly surpass six thousand and could reach close to ten thousand!

This number was alarmingly high!@@novelbin@@

Everyone present, including Rocky, had never participated in a real large-scale war, so to them, whether it was six thousand or over ten thousand warships, both were astronomical figures, beyond their capacity to even imagine.

Under these circumstances, the thought of participating in warfare of this caliber was chilling, even if it was just guerilla warfare within this grand battle…

As for everyone’s reaction, Rocky wasn’t surprised; when he heard the news from Wilton the day before, he too was taken aback, just like everyone else.

So he didn’t speak immediately afterwards. Instead, he waited a moment, letting everyone digest what he had just said until their emotions gradually stabilized, before then pointing to the map:

“Gentlemen, with this intelligence, the tactical situation in the war zone becomes clear. The Alliance forces and the enemy are positioned northwest and southeast of Tulip City respectively, with the primary battle area being right above Tulip City.”

“As for our current position, it’s approximately in this direction…”

Here, Rocky stepped up to the world map and pointed, “Skybreaker Peak airspace is exactly southeast of Tulip City, and our current direct route to Tulip City will put us right behind enemy lines upon reaching the war zone.”

“This is an excellent opportunity for us. The enemy’s main forces are all engaged with the Alliance Army at the front, with fewer forces at the rear, at least not as many large Sky Cities present, so our entry into the war zone from the enemy’s rear will be relatively safe,”
