Chapter 444: Chapter 409: Sudden Incident!
Lexington’s arrangements quickly bore fruit!
Following his orders, the troops from Chenxiu City launched an attack on Thunderhawk City soon after their assembly. Although the attack ended in a bitter defeat, it achieved Lexington’s strategic goal, which was to slow down Thunderhawk City’s advance toward the border as much as possible.
After the battle, Rocky won, but the advance of Thunderhawk City significantly slowed down. This not only allowed Lexington, who was following closely, to shorten the distance but more importantly, it allowed the other three Sky Cities to gain a lead in speed, almost guaranteeing that they would arrive at the border first.
Consequently, Rocky was entirely put on the defensive.
Lexington’s series of arrangements was essentially a foolproof plan designed to trap Rocky within the warzone. While Rocky could have had the chance to break through the encirclement by pressing on without stopping—he did act earlier than the enemy, and despite Lexington’s detailed arrangements, the forces used to stop Rocky were all from the Sky Cities, known for their slowness. No one could be one hundred percent sure that they could contain Rocky.
However, with the desperate harassment of Chenxiu City’s troops, Rocky was forced to slow down, which not only delayed his march but also gave the enemy an opportunity!
…
What’s more, this kind of harassment was not just a one-time event!
In fact, shortly after repelling the enemy, just overnight, the second round of harassment began.
The troops from Chenxiu City quickly reassembled over a hundred warships and once again launched an attack on Thunderhawk City!
To be honest, this kind of attack wasn’t very threatening because the number of troops Chenxiu City could muster was ultimately limited. In contrast, not only did Thunderhawk City have a large number of warships, but the Void Magic Squad was also abundantly equipped. Therefore, victory was assured as long as they engaged in battle, but this was exactly where the problem lay.
If Rocky chose to fight every single time the harassment occurred, he might as well stop moving altogether. He would be trapped right where he was for at least four or five days. By then, even if he eradicated all of Chenxiu City’s troops, he would still end up encircled due to Lexington’s meticulous arrangements.
But if he ignored these harassments, Thunderhawk City would still be unable to proceed because, although the enemy didn’t muster a large force, it still comprised over a hundred warships. With so many warships launching an attack on Thunderhawk City, the small Sky City simply couldn’t withstand it, and Rocky was compelled to confront the enemy.
Clearly, the enemy had given deep thought to their actions, even carefully calculating the number of troops for harassment—not too many, not too few, just around a hundred warships—forcing Rocky to act whether he liked it or not.

Under these circumstances, a vicious cycle emerged. Rocky could only respond to harassment by fighting, but as soon as the battle started, Thunderhawk City was essentially held back. The longer he was detained, the more frequent the harassments became, and the closer Lexington got to him!
Time waits for no one, and with the intermittent harassments, three days passed in no time!
In these three days, Thunderhawk City was harassed three times—on average, once a day. Under this relentless harassment, the distance advanced by Sky City didn’t even match up to half a day’s progress previously, effectively trapping them in place.
As he was being held up, Lexington’s Soaring Feather City swiftly advanced, reducing the distance from an original journey of more than ten days to just five or six days. On the other hand, the three Sky Cities in charge of the blockage were about to reach the northern border of the warzone!
The trap that Lexington had set was nearly complete, and once it was fully formed, Rocky would truly be like a bird without wings…
Time moved on to July 11th.
Now, it had been just over ten days since Lexington left the front lines, but in just these short ten-plus days, he had shown everyone his skill, fully demonstrating a Clan Leader’s capabilities and dexterity. Under his series of arrangements, not only was the Rebel Army’s rear stabilized, but Rocky, who had been rampaging in the rear for months, was also gradually driven to a dead end. This outcome pleased Long Wind greatly, and the other Clan Leaders as well as Chiefs all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that with no worries at the rear, they could fight on the front lines with peace of mind.
However, just when everyone thought that Rocky, the troublesome figure, was about to be dealt with, an urgent situation that nobody could have anticipated arose!
……
……
On this day, Lexington was sitting in the City Lord’s Mansion of Soaring Feather City, reading a book.
His mood had been very good these past few days because, from feedback gathered on all fronts, Thunderhawk City had become like a turtle in a jar—unable to escape even though there were no disturbances in Rocky right now. It certainly couldn’t leave the warzone, for the three Sky Cities that had set off earlier were about to reach the northern border, sealing Rocky’s fate.
At the same time, as Rocky was driven into a corner, the entire warzone’s operations had returned to normal. All the small Sky Cities responsible for transportation set sail again, resuming the transport of supplies to the frontlines, and Chenxiu City had already activated its flight mode, converging towards the front. Everything was orderly and on track.
And naturally, all of this was his doing!
With these thoughts, Lexington sitting in the study with a book slightly curled his lips—but just then, Baron Wolin suddenly burst in!
“What’s the matter?”
Seeing Baron Wolin burst into the study, Lexington immediately put down his book and hurriedly looked at him.
“My lord! Moonshine City is under attack!”
“What did you say!?”
Upon hearing this, Lexington stood up from his seat at once!
Although he had only recently moved from the front to the rear, due to various previous movements, he was already very familiar with the rear of the warzone. Lexington was clear that the Sky City mentioned by Baron Wolin was one of the small Sky Cities that had just resumed their transport tasks!
Another small Sky City had been attacked?
Learning this news, Lexington’s head buzzed, completely baffled by the situation.
Wasn’t Rocky currently fleeing towards the northern border? And weren’t the movements of him and Thunderhawk City all under his surveillance? In that case, how could Moonshine City still be under attack?
The sudden news stunned Lexington for a long time before he could finally gather his wits.
They had been deceived…
Once again, the Rebel Army was fooled!
Clearly, the Sky Cities that were previously hidden in the warzone were not limited to just Thunderhawk City—there definitely were other Sky Cities concealed within! Their attention had been entirely tied up with Thunderhawk City, but in reality, the enemy consisted of not only Rocky and Thunderhawk City!
And realizing this, Lexington inwardly cursed, “Damn it!”
