Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 401: Chapter 369: Seeking Wealth Amid Danger

“Rocky, your status in my heart has just risen again.”

When Rocky finished explaining his plan, Berg and Karina were first stunned, then both fell into deep thought. After a moment, Berg spoke first, “I always thought Karina was the craziest. Now I realize you’re crazier than her!”

“Just the three of us and we’re thinking of joining this war, my god… your idea is really…”

Shaking his head helplessly, Berg drank a whole glass of wine and did not continue his words.

“Are you sure?”

Compared to Berg, Karina took a longer time to think. When she finally raised her head to look at Rocky, she asked.

“Not sure.”

But facing her question, Rocky shook his head cleanly. How could he be sure about such things?

“How will we split the spoils?”

“Split evenly among the three of us.”

Hearing Rocky’s reply, Karina fell silent again.

She was thinking, Berg was drinking alone, and Rocky was waiting for their response. Suddenly, the hall fell into silence.

After a long time, Karina finally raised her head again, “We can do it.”

“Cough cough! Cough cough cough!”

No sooner had Karina finished her sentence than Berg, who had just taken a sip of wine, choked on it, then he wiped his mouth while staring wide-eyed at Karina, “Karina, Rocky has gone mad, and you’re mad too… Forget it, both of you are crazy!”

Seeing no other choice, Berg glared at Karina and Rocky and threw his napkin aside, “You two still think this is about attacking the Air Pirate Group? This is war! It’s about the war concerning the Sky Alliance! It’s not something we should be getting involved in!”

After saying this, he looked at Rocky, “Rocky, if the Alliance orders you to fight, you might as well quit the Alliance right now. If even our small Sky City is sent to the battlefield, the Sky Alliance isn’t far from doom.”

“I’m planning to join the battle myself.”

“Then you’re seeking death! In this level of war, small sky cities like ours should just stay at the back, managing transportation is already the limit. How can you still think about actively participating?”

“Fortune favors the bold.”

Seeing Berg’s furious reaction, Rocky smiled. He was not surprised by Berg’s response at all.

Because Rocky knew very well that Berg and he were different. Berg’s dream was to develop Lingyu City into a commercial city, so he was not interested in wars, expansions, and such, nor did he want to participate.

So, he had anticipated Berg’s reaction and had ways to deal with it.

All Rocky had to say next was, “This time we are not going to face the enemy head-on. We’re going to raid their supply lines. Think about it, the supply lines! Even if we just raid a few transport troops, think about how many spoils we could get?”

“How much could there be?”

Looking at Rocky, Berg smirked and said.

“Anyway, as far as I know, Chenxiu City is fully responsible for the front-line supplies, and all the external supplies will be concentrated in the city. Can you imagine the scale of those supplies?”

“……”

As Rocky finished speaking, Berg, who had initially sneered at the idea, changed his expression, frowning as if he were actually calculating how many goods Chenxiu City had to receive each day.

While he was calculating in his mind, Rocky added fuel to the fire.

“Moreover, don’t forget that our real goal is not the transport troops, how much can we earn by robbing transport troops? Our ultimate goal is the small Sky City! If we can cut off the external transport routes to Chenxiu City and disrupt the enemy’s peace, the enemy will definitely send a small Sky City to ensure the safety of the routes. That’s our target. If we can take down a small Sky City, the population, materials, and all that will be enough for us to profit for years!”

“Damn it, let’s do it!”

As Rocky finished his speech, Berg slammed the table and shouted loudly.

Clearly, as a businessman, faced with immense profits, Berg compromised without hesitation…

Seeing his reaction, Rocky and Karina exchanged glances and laughed together.

Rocky knew Berg was a businessman, so the best way to persuade him was with profit. To a businessman, even a one percent profit would make them abandon their principles, and if there is a hundred percent profit, they might even disregard their own lives. Only by achieving this can one be deemed a qualified businessman, and Berg was clearly more than just qualified.@@novelbin@@

Of course, Rocky was not deceiving Berg; in fact, everything he had just said was true.

With their trio’s strength, participating in a war of this level, even just guerrilla warfare and stealth attacks, would be akin to committing suicide. However, these actions also represented immense profits.

As Rocky had just mentioned, if they could succeed in their raid, which is to cut off the external transportation to Chenxiu City, then robbing the transport troops alone would earn them a fortune. And if they could actually destroy a small Sky City, the profits would be immeasurable!

Thus, with Berg’s agreement, Rocky, Karina, and Berg officially formed a united front, and the three parties would send troops to form the Allied Forces and initiate action.

This action could certainly be described as crazy. If the enemy was an elephant and they were ants, then what they were doing was challenging the elephant as ants!

This madness was beyond comprehension, but it also had a benefit; no one was paying attention to their movements, because no one could imagine that in this grand war, three ants were plotting to shake an elephant.

“To attack stealthily, we must get accurate intelligence.”

After deciding to form the Allied Forces, Rocky outlined his detailed plan, “First, we need to find out which Chambers of Commerce are supplying resources to Chenxiu City.”

“I’ll handle that,” Berg interjected as Rocky finished speaking. “I’m familiar with the Chamber of Commerce, so it won’t be hard to inquire.”

“Good.”

Nodding, Rocky continued, “Additionally, we need to clarify the enemy’s troop strength escorting the transport troops. I’ll contact Wilton when I get back; he should be able to provide some intelligence.”

“Finally, it’s about our troops…”

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion of Lingyu City, Rocky, Karina, and Berg began to discuss the detailed plans for their next move, clearly preparing to make a big move.

And the day was May 23, 118.
