LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 439: Chapter 404 Alliance Hierarch!

Watching Hongshou City destroyed by his own order, Rocky felt conflicted.

It wasn’t just an empty city he had destroyed, but one with thousands of residents inside, and clearly, those residents who couldn’t be evacuated in time were buried along with the collapse of Hongshou City.

Regarding these people, Rocky didn’t know what to feel. These were not his citizens, but they were alive, and their deaths were a direct result of his command; he couldn’t remain unaffected.

But he knew he had to do it.

In this war, his actions were not wrong. Hongshou City must be destroyed; otherwise, once the Rebel Army’s reinforcements arrived, this newly conquered city would instantly become vibrant again. Moreover, it would immediately join the forces pursuing and surrounding him, a scenario Rocky would never allow.

This rationale could be seen as an excuse Rocky made for himself, or even self-deception, but however it was framed, the undeniable fact remained that Hongshou City had to be destroyed.

…

Looking at the ruins on the ground, Rocky took a deep breath and then left the bow, handing command of the troops to Claudy, and retired to his cabin with Liliya’s company.

A great battle had finally ended…

Back in the cabin, Rocky took a deep breath. There was no time to think about Hongshou City anymore; instead, he began considering what to do next.

Now that Hongshou City was gone, the matters were far from over due to the destruction of one Sky City, rather they would continue to develop and lead to more serious consequences.

After this battle, the Rebel Army would inevitably the essence a great number of troops, no, they would deploy numerous Sky Cities throughout the Battle Zone to hunt down Rocky. Thus, disappearing as he had done before was impossible now; even if he wanted to, the Rebel Army wouldn’t allow it. They would scour every inch of the Battle Zone, like cleaning a carpet, to find him!

So all Rocky could do next was run, and he had to take Thunderhawk City with him.

He had been prepared for this because he had anticipated such an outcome even before his second move. The only thing he worried about now was the number and level of pursuers the Rebel Army would send, which he couldn’t foresee and specifically plan against.

Thus, the mighty army returned to Thunderhawk City. On one hand, Rocky arranged for the people, goods, and Gold Coins taken from Hongshou City to be settled properly, and on the other hand, he immediately activated Thunderhawk City’s flight mode to start flying north, trying to get as far away as possible before the pursuers arrived.

This day was June 30th of the year 118.

…..

…..

As Rocky began making Thunderhawk City escape as far as it could, to widen the gap from the pursuers, the Rebel Army headquarters, far at the frontline, had already received the news of Hongshou City being destroyed.

This day was also, the 30th of June, 118.

War God City, the headquarters of the War Alliance, a large Sky City and also the seat of the Rebel Army headquarters in the Tulip Battle Zone.

To attack the Sky Alliance, the Kafka Empire had allied with several prominent forces and families, among which the War Alliance was recognized as the strongest!

Before this great war erupted, the War Alliance had already been a prominent large Alliance in the Sky, comprised of more than fifty Sky Cities, most of which were medium or large-sized, and from its name, the aggressiveness of this alliance was evident, with each member being a bona fide warmonger.

Now, on the evening of June 30, 118, including the leader of the War Alliance, other forces and families’ Clan Leaders and Chiefs had gathered in the City Lord’s Hall in War God City.

Since the attendees were Clan Leaders and Chiefs, a long table had been placed in the City Lord’s Hall in advance. The leader of the War Alliance sat at the head of the table, and the other family Clan Leaders and forces’ Chiefs sat on both his sides.

“I just received the news—Hongshou City has been destroyed.”

Sitting in the lead position, Alliance Leader Changfeng said as he glanced over to his left, his gaze quickly settling on Lexington, the new Clan Leader of the Mairente Family.

Changfeng looked about fifty years old, his temples slightly graying, his facial features square, and he had a stern countenance not due to his nature but rather the authority naturally exhibited by someone of high status.

As he spoke, others in the room also looked towards Lexington, fully aware that Hongshou City was a Sky City of the Mairente Family.

Feeling everyone’s eyes on him, Lexington’s expression naturally turned sour, for that was a Sky City!

For this war, the Mairente Family had practically deployed their entire force. Aside from Atted, who was not trusted, and Cyril, who had left the family early, the family had sent all their Sky Cities to participate in this war.

In previous battles, out of the five medium-sized Sky Cities the family had sent to the Tulip Battle Zone, one had been lost, and now another smaller-sized Sky City had been lost, making it impossible for Lexington’s expression to not turn even more grim.

Unfortunately, more distressing news awaited him.

“Clan Leader Lexington, how has Rocky shown up here?”

After Changfeng finished speaking, a person across from Lexington spoke up.

The speaker was a woman, around thirty years old, very attractive, indeed Eva Cecil, the Clan Leader of the Xiso Family.

With a raised eyebrow at Lexington, Eva couldn’t help but ask in a mocking tone, clearly taking pleasure in his misfortune.

For this war, the Kafka Empire had not only allied with numerous families and forces but had also devised a detailed and comprehensive plan.

Initially, in the Kafka Empire’s plan, it was supposed to be the Mairente Family leading the attack on Thunderhawk City, thereby sparking the entire war. However, due to a mishap in this process, the Kafka Empire, with no other choice, had the Xiso Family launch the first attack on the Sky Alliance. Although the attack went smoothly, it also resulted in significant losses for the Xiso Family. Hence, Eva had always been cold towards the Mairente Family.

Hearing this, Lexington immediately looked at Eva, his expression naturally becoming even uglier.

“Lexington, what is going on with this Rocky? Your family is so large yet you can’t handle a small-sized Sky City’s City Lord? He has caused so much trouble, now even affecting the situation across the entire battle zone!”

As soon as Eva finished speaking, a person sitting to Changfeng’s left also spoke up, immediately questioning him!

This person was the Leader of the Domination Alliance!
