LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 448: Chapter 413: The Final Verdict

With Rocky, Karina, Berg, and their three Sky Cities leaving the Tulip Battle Zone, the harassment that had troubled the Rebel Army finally came to an end.

The harassment had lasted over two months, during which Rocky and his associates annihilated two small Sky Cities and five to six hundred warships. They also intercepted countless shipments of goods, undoubtedly achieving an absolute victory.

But to be fair, it seemed like the Rebel Army suffered one-sided losses from the harassment. In reality, however, these losses weren’t significant to the Rebel Army. A few hundred warships certainly weren’t a big deal, and the commandeered goods weren’t much to speak of either. The only thing that might have caused the Rebel Army a slight bit of pain were the two small Sky Cities, but to be honest, in a conflict of this scale, even the loss of two small Sky Cities wasn’t too much to worry about.

Therefore, it appeared that despite Rocky and the others stirring up quite a commotion and securing certain victories, they didn’t inflict significant damage on the Rebel Army. The disturbance wasn’t to the extent of breaking the Rebel Army’s backbone.

But was that really the case?

It was not.

…

The disturbance by Rocky and his team didn’t cause the Rebel Army to lose warships, goods, or even Sky Cities. What the Rebel Army truly lost was an opportunity, one that might have even determined the outcome of the entire battle zone!

Due to repeated harassments in the rear, the Rebel Army’s attention was drawn away time and time again, giving Wilton breathing space. Instead of attacking with this opportunity, Wilton used the distractions caused by Rocky and his team to wait for the reinforcements of the Sky Alliance!

That was the most crucial aspect!

Now that everything is set in stone, looking back at the whole situation reveals that all these incidents were actually distractions masterminded by Wilton. He had planned all this to ensure the smooth arrival of the Alliance’s reinforcements to the battle zone!

And of this plan, only Wilton himself was aware, not even Rocky knew!

Considering the timing, this war had been raging for nearly three months, but a closer examination would show that during these three months, the Sky Alliance’s performance was far from satisfactory, even disappointing. In the Four Great War Zones, except for the Tulip Battle Zone where Wilton was positioned, every other zone was at an absolute disadvantage, and this disadvantage became more and more pronounced as time went on.

Consequently, the Sky Alliance had no choice but to modify their initial plans, starting to send reinforcements to the Four Great War Zones!

The Sky Alliance’s move was clearly aimed at ensuring the stability of the battle zones. It would undoubtedly significantly alter the war’s dynamics because, so far, despite forming the Four Great War Zones, the main forces in the three other zones, except for the Tulip Battle Zone, consisted mainly of peripheral Alliance members with limited combat capabilities. This had been a key factor leading to the unfavorable battle situation.

But once the Alliance started deploying additional troops, the situation would be completely different.

What do the Four Great War Zones protect if not Nut God City, the headquarters of the Alliance?

And within the airspace where Nut God City is located, there is a concentration of Alliance members, all of whom are core members of the Alliance!

These core members, in terms of strength, ability, and loyalty, were far superior to the peripheral members, so once they joined the fight, the situation on all Four Great War Zones would immediately undergo a drastic change.

However, let’s not forget that increasing troops, especially with simultaneous reinforcements to four battlefronts, such large-scale troop movements cannot be carried out covertly. Not to mention that inside the Sky Alliance there was always a hundred percent chance that moles for both the Rebel Army and the Kafka Empire were planted; even without them, such massive movements are easily detected. And once the Rebel Army and the Kafka Empire become aware of this, would they sit idly by?

Obviously not!

The enemy would certainly seize this last chance before the reinforcements arrived to launch fierce attacks on the Four Great War Zones, striving to establish an overwhelming advantage to counter the Alliance’s reinforcements.

And to avoid this scenario, the four commanders of the Four Great War Zones really had to pull out all the stops. Among them, Wilton thought of a tactic—using Rocky’s harassment to force the Rebel Army led by Long Wind to abandon their operation against him.

In fact, although the entire harassment plan was proposed by Rocky and the decisions were made by him, two key points were suggestions from Wilton. The first was to hide three Sky Cities within the battle zone, and the second was to have all three cities strike simultaneously, leaving the Rebel Army stretched too thin.

Wilton may have offered only these two suggestions in the plan, but these two actions held decisive significance. Because if both succeeded, the Rebel Army would no longer have the ability to block the arrival of reinforcements.

And indeed that was the case.

This is why with the departure of Rocky and the others, the entire Tulip Battle Zone entered a new phase, because with their departure, the reinforcements dispatched by the Sky Alliance also successfully rendezvoused with Wilton!

The only regret for Wilton was Long Wind’s extremely keen sense of smell. He managed to have the Rebel Army retreat en masse just before the arrival of the Alliance reinforcements, narrowly avoiding a calamity. Because in reality, Wilton’s initial defeat was a very cunning trap. It seemed as though it was meant to buy time for Rocky, but it had a deeper stratagem in mind—to lure the Rebel Army into being overextended, so that once their own reinforcements arrived, they could launch an absolute counterattack and utterly crush the Rebel Army throughout the battle zone!

Unfortunately for Wilton, Long Wind was not an easy opponent. Choosing to retreat at the last moment, he did not fall into Wilton’s trap. Nevertheless, Wilton’s series of maneuvers and arrangements were still brilliantly conceived, and what mattered most was that he ultimately did receive the Alliance’s reinforcements. That was crucial.

This time, the Alliance dispatched reinforcements to all Four Great War Zones. Not to mention the other zones, the Tulip Battle Zone alone received as many as ten large Sky Cities!

A total of ten large Sky Cities, each a core member of the Alliance, and the fleets owned by the ten cities combined easily surpassed five thousand warships, with the number of Void Magic Squads exceeding one hundred, that is, almost a thousand people!

With this, Wilton’s forces were immediately replenished, and after merging with the reinforcement troops, he commanded a total of fifteen large Sky Cities and twenty medium and small Sky Cities, with the fleet numbering 11,000 warships, and the number of Void Magic Squads reaching more than one hundred and fifty!

Armed with such a massive force, the Alliance Army’s days in the Tulip Battle Zone became much better. Not only did the morale of the soldiers soar, but Wilton also immediately took action, leading dozens of Sky Cities majestically towards Tulip City Airspace, ready to confront the Rebel Army once again.

Meanwhile, Rocky and the other two who had left the battlefront, also returned to the war zone one after the other during this process, and formally joined up with the Alliance Army led by Wilton!
