LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 447: Chapter 412: Alliance Reinforcements

Standing before the sand table, Lexington maintained the same position for several hours until he finally turned around, only to let out a long sigh.

“Ah…”

With a long sigh, Lexington walked over to the seat in the City Lord’s Hall and sat down, while the original City Lord of Soaring Feather City, among other people who had been gathered around the sand table, turned to look at him after he walked away.

Facing everyone’s gazes, Lexington, who had sighed deeply, remained silent for a while before slowly speaking: “Send the orders…”

“Command Red Demon City, Guardian Army City, and Rime City to return to the vicinity of Chenxiu City, destination Lingyu City, set off immediately.”

“Send the orders, instruct Soaring Feather City to change course, destination Rose City, set off immediately.”

…

“Clan Leader!”

“My Lord!”

As Lexington issued these two commands, the faces of those present revealed an urgent expression, because they all understood that once these two orders were issued, the already doomed Rocky would have a chance at life again!

“There’s no need for further discussion. The threat to the battle zone is the only thing we need to consider right now. Get to it.”

Of course, Lexington was well aware of people’s unwillingness as those who followed him were not only members of his families but also his close confidants from his faction, each one of them wanting to seal Rocky’s fate.

Lexington himself had harbored the same desire, but alas…

But alas, even he had to admit that the move Rocky had played was impressive!

Three Sky Cities attacking simultaneously, cutting off the Rebel Army’s supply lines, forcibly involving all the Rebel Army’s forces in the rear, and with the limited forces at the Rebel Army’s rear, it was impossible to focus on both ends, leaving them to make a choice between the three Sky Cities.

Whether to continue besieging Rocky or to quickly expel Karina and Berg.

This choice might be difficult for Lexington and his associates, as they were too eager to crush Rocky, but for the Rebel Army, it didn’t even qualify as a choice.

Because, although Rocky was surrounded, his threat to the entire battle zone was minimal, almost non-existent. So in the eyes of the Rebel Army, the priority was naturally to drive out Karina and Berg first in order to quickly restore the supply lines.

This was something Lexington was certainly the most aware of, and he had indeed wanted to take care of both aspects as best as he could, but ultimately failed.

A clever woman cannot cook without rice. He had only so many troops, only a few Sky Cities. In such a situation, even with all the skills Lexington possessed, he could not turn the tide.

Therefore, with reluctance, he had no choice but to withdraw the three Sky Cities that had been on high alert at the northern border of the battle zone, sending them swiftly towards Chenxiu City, and then to dislodge Berg’s Lingyu City.

As for Lexington himself, he had to turn around, locking the target of Soaring Feather City onto Karina’s Rose City. Within less than a week, this move would resolve the crisis.

But at the same time, Rocky, Karina, and Berg also managed to escape.

Yes, with Lexington’s strategic insight, he had already seen through their plan. In fact, Karina and Berg showed up just to ensure that Rocky could retreat smoothly, and once Rocky was out of danger, the two of them naturally wouldn’t wait around for the Rebel Army to arrive. They would retreat quickly, and soon all three could be completely out of the battle zone.

So after issuing the orders, Lexington, seated in the City Lord’s chair, closed his eyes to carefully recall everything from Rocky’s initial raid on the merchant convoy to the series of events that followed, and couldn’t help but marvel at how well-planned it all was!

……

……

Not long after Lexington made his decision, Rocky in Thunderhawk City received a message from Wilton.

“Very good!”

When he heard the message, Rocky was in the research center discussing the White Demon issue with Orton and others, but as soon as he learned that Lexington had pulled back all the troops pursuing and intercepting them, he immediately headed to the City Lord’s Mansion.

In a war of this magnitude, whether it’s the Alliance or the Rebel Army, each side has more or less some insiders. These insiders might be spies, double-agents, or even traitors; in any case, both sides have actually placed quite a few people in the other’s ranks.

In fact, to prevent any traitors or double-agents from leaking information, Rocky and Wilton had been in touch, but inside the entire Tulip Battle Zone’s Alliance Army, only Wilton knew the detailed plan. On Rocky’s side, only he, Karina, and Berg were privy to all arrangements, while everyone else was simply responsible for following orders.

So shortly after Lexington began to move his troops, Wilton received an insider’s message and immediately shared the information with Rocky.

Upon learning of this, Rocky ordered Thunderhawk City to proceed northward rapidly according to the original plan!

Lexington got one thing right; after taking down Hongshou City, Rocky did indeed plan to leave the battle zone. However, it wasn’t to abandon the fight but to reenter the battle zone after leaving and then to rendezvous with Wilton’s large force. Not just him, Karina and Berg too would do the same after leaving the battle zone.

Therefore, once Lexington withdrew all his troops that were encircling and blocking them, Thunderhawk City quickly left the battle zone, and at the same time, Karina and Berg also began to move out of the battle zone.

And as the three of them successively broke free from the battle zone and converged with the forces led by Wilton, the Tulip Battle Zone’s conflict entered a new stage!

Because with their departure, Long Wind, who was in command of the Rebel Army on the front lines, also issued an order for a full retreat. In nearly a single night, they gave up all the gains they had won over the past half-month, retreating back to the space above Tulip City, returning to their original position.

This move left everyone in the Rebel Army bewildered.

Although the chaos created by Rocky and his companions in the rear was indeed significant and had indeed delayed the chance for a frontline offensive, with Lexington’s active withdrawal and their pursuers driven off, the Rebel Army’s rear was stable again, and supply lines were running normally. Why then, under these circumstances, did Long Wind order a retreat?

This question puzzled many, but soon they learned the answer—the Sky Alliance’s reinforcements had arrived!

After Long Wind led the Rebel Army back to Tulip City, the first batch of reinforcements sent by the Sky Alliance since the war began arrived in the Tulip Battle Zone!

It wasn’t until this moment, when the Sky Alliance’s reinforcements reached the battle zone, that the people of the Rebel Army suddenly realized the reason for Long Wind’s retreat. And upon looking back at everything that had happened over the past two months, they suddenly grasped that Wilton had been playing a long game all along!
