Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 400: Chapter 368: Three Cities Gather Together

Before the Empire’s troops appeared, the Alliance did not wish to dispatch their main forces into battle.

But sometimes, affairs do not unfold as anticipated, and that is exactly the case right now.

The force and intensity of the Rebel Army’s offensive far exceeded expectations, proving too much for the regular members of the Alliance to withstand. Even in the Tulip City War Zone, where the situation seemed most favorable, there was only a stalemate, and that was thanks to Wilton’s personal command and the efforts of his Alliance Army. Compared to that, the other war zones performed poorly, partly due to being outnumbered, and partly because the Alliance Army had yet to mobilize.

In such a situation, calls for the Alliance to send troops quickly emerged in all Four Great War Zones, but they were suppressed by the zone commanders.

The commanders capable of overseeing a war zone are naturally no ordinary individuals. Their abilities and status are unrivaled within the Alliance; hence, their concerns often transcend the situation in any single war zone and focus on the entire war front, or to be more precise, on the future state of affairs.

All these commanders understood one thing clearly: before the Kafka Empire made its move, the Alliance had to conserve its strength as much as possible; otherwise, against an opponent that was one of the three great forces, the Alliance would not stand a chance of winning!@@novelbin@@

As a result, every war zone was looking for ways to tackle its respective issues as independently as possible.

Meanwhile, Thunderhawk City had already neared the Tulip Battle Zone where Wilton was located and subsequently joined forces with Rose City and Lingyu City!

As soon as Thunderhawk City started making its way to the Tulip Battle Zone, Rocky had gotten in touch with Karina and Berg, and now the three of them were finally reunited.

Last time they met, it was after they had exterminated the Wild Horse Air Pirate Group. Although they had stayed in touch intermittently, it had been over half a year since their last face-to-face meeting.

In the past six months, each of them had developed in their own ways, so naturally, their reunion was filled with heartfelt exchanges and pleasantries.

Just like before, after gathering, the trio headed to Berg’s City Lord’s Mansion. Compared to Thunderhawk City and Rose City, Berg’s Lingyu City was a commercial city, which meant it was the most developed, and the City Lord’s Mansion was the largest. Berg always hosted their gatherings.

In the banquet hall, they had a spread of fine foods in front of them, exquisite wines at hand, and no one else around, allowing them to speak freely.

“Rocky, you’ve been quite the troublemaker recently!”

After sipping some red wine and settling his glass, Berg turned his gaze towards Rocky.

Though he had not seen Rocky for half a year, he hadn’t stopped hearing about his exploits, especially his technological innovations and the declaration of war against Wild Horse City. Both matters had caused quite a stir at the time, with every City Lord in Sky City hearing about them.

“I didn’t expect you to have such guts, to actually declare war on Wild Horse City.”

As he looked at Rocky, Berg gave a thumbs-up, clearly aware of the tension between Rocky and Karlo. Even so, he had been taken aback when he first heard the news.

“I was forced into it; Karlo’s Wild Horse City had me cornered in Eternal City. There was no other choice but to declare war,” Rocky replied with a wry smile and a sip of his wine, his voice laden with resignation.

To others, his declaration of war against Wild Horse City might have seemed remarkable, but who could understand the predicament he found himself in at the time?

“Even if you were pressured, you still needed the capability to pull it off. Honestly, I thought that besides Karina, no one else in this world would be crazy enough, haha!”

“Rocky, where’s your White Demon Armor?”

Karina, not picking up on Berg’s conversational thread, directly broached the subject she was most interested in: Rocky’s White Demon Armor.

Rocky’s feat of securing five kills in the battle against Wild Horse City had also been big news, sparking curiosity about the new technology developed by Aniye and others, leading to much speculation. Karina was naturally very curious and had long wanted to ask Rocky about it herself.

“This… it’s broken…”

But when Karina asked, Rocky scratched his head awkwardly and said helplessly.

“Broken?”

Upon hearing this response, Karina was taken aback at first, then her face turned sour.

“It’s really broken.”

Noticing that Karina’s complexion had turned ugly, Rocky gave a wry smile, knowing that she must have misunderstood him, so he couldn’t help but explain, “When I was in Backhill Village, I fought with a Knife Fox Demon…”

In just a few words, he recounted the fight with the Knife Fox Demon, and after he finished, he looked at Karina and Berg, only to see both of them displaying a stunned expression.

“Wow! Rocky, you fought with a high-level demon and lived to tell the tale, you really have some luck!”

After sizing him up, Berg couldn’t help expressing his amazement, then leaned forward eagerly, “You killed a high-level demon, what about the materials? You’ve got the Demon Materials, right? Those things are priceless treasures. Are you planning to sell them? I can put you in touch with a buyer!”

“The White Demon Armor could actually fight against a high-level demon? Just what level of armor is that?”

Gathering themselves after the shock, Berg and Karina simultaneously turned their gaze toward Rocky.

“Don’t be like that, it’s not as exaggerated as you think. My survival was just luck, and had my teachers not stepped in, I’d have died long ago.”

“The materials! What about the Demon Materials?”

“None! And I wouldn’t sell them even if I had them.”

“What use is it keeping them!”

After giving Rocky a glare, Berg felt somewhat indignant.

“Rocky, I don’t care what you are researching, but once you’ve succeeded, you must make me a set of White Demon Armor, no matter the cost.”

Looking at Rocky, Karina didn’t inquire further about the White Demon Armor, but she insisted on having a new set of armor for herself, which was her primary concern.

“No problem.”

Rocky laughed heartily and readily agreed to Karina’s request, then, after taking another sip of his drink, he said, “My friends, it’s time to discuss serious matters.”

After chatting for so long, it was time to talk about the main subject.

And as soon as Rocky said this, Karina and Berg became serious because they knew that Rocky had called this meeting. Given the current situation and the nature of their meeting place, even if they were fools, they would guess that this was not going to be a simple gathering.

Sure enough, Rocky then shared his plan with them.

“What do you two think?”

“Are you interested in joining me for a big score?!”
