LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 759: Chapter 721: Reinforcements Join!

After returning to Thunderhawk City, He Nan did not immediately respond to Rocky. Indeed, as he had mentioned, he gathered several elders in the tribe to discuss whether to stay in Backhill Village, and the discussion lasted for three days.

Three days later, He Nan had finally managed to persuade all the tribe’s elders, winning their agreement to move the entire Fireteng Tribe to Backhill Village!

Upon learning the news, Rocky was so thrilled that he didn’t sleep all night – the matter was of utmost importance to him. The addition of the Fireteng Tribe meant not only an increase of over a thousand people under his rule but, importantly, those thousand people were Beastmen!

Although Rocky had said he would not force the Beastmen to fight for him, the very presence of willing Beastmen, even if only a few hundred, would dramatically enhance the combat capability of Thunderhawk City!

Thus, Rocky began to arrange the migration personally.

Though the Fireteng Tribe’s population was not as large as Backhill Village initially, they numbered over fifteen hundred. Accommodating these people was a massive project, but fortunately, the tribe had traveled light, making the relocation less troublesome.

Since it was not the first time large numbers of people moved into a city or village under his dominion, Rocky was quite experienced in handling such matters. He managed to arrange everything properly within just a week.

Originally, Rocky planned to let the Beastmen adapt for a while, then thoroughly arrange their lives in Backhill Village once they had settled. Whether they chose to enlist or live ordinary lives like everyone else, both cities and the village under Rocky’s rule were rapidly developing, ensuring there were plenty of jobs available.

However, contrary to his expectations, barely after the Fireteng Tribe had settled in Backhill Village, He Nan came to him proactively and informed Rocky that he had already organized the tribe’s warriors, ready to fight at any moment.

One must admit, though He Nan was a Beastman and among the most formidable, his intellect was truly fit for a chief. Since joining Rocky’s forces, he immediately changed his approach and found a way to improve his tribe’s living under Rocky’s command.

That way was value.

In He Nan’s view, the simplest way for his tribe to thrive in Backhill Village was to demonstrate their value. Only by proving their worth could they gain Rocky’s attention, and the best way to do that was to utilize the Beastmen’s natural prowess.

What is the Beastmen’s specialty?

Of course, combat.

With this in mind, once the tribe settled in Backhill Village, He Nan gathered his people. Under his arrangement, the women had time to familiarize themselves with the environment while the men, especially young and robust ones, formed a regiment immediately.

Combat was nothing new for the Beastmen of the Fireteng Tribe; during their time at Red Water Lake, it was almost their sole occupation. Thus, at He Nan’s command, a regiment of eight hundred Beastmen rapidly assembled.

Rocky was, of course, overjoyed by He Nan’s initiative and immediately issued a command.

Under his order, this all-Beastmen force would not be integrated into the Guard Corps but would remain an independent unit, led by He Nan as the captain, with Rocky himself as the overall commander. Monte was then assigned to distribute Mana Equipment to them and incorporate them into the defense of Backhill Village.

Of course, this arrangement was only temporary for Rocky. A Beastmen regiment was universally recognized as formidable, and since all its members were battle-hardened warriors of The Forsaken People, capable of fighting demons single-handedly without any gear, assigning such a troop to act as mere infantry would be a waste of their talents. Rocky’s real plan was to transform this Beastmen force into a powerful Void Magic Corps!

The Fireteng Tribe’s Beastmen, capable of battling demons one-on-one without any equipment, would be unstoppable in Void Magic Armor, especially if equipped with Rune Armor. Just how powerful could this regiment be in battle? Rocky hardly dared to think about it; he was afraid of jinxing himself.

So, he immediately went to the laboratory to find Hammerfire.

Although Rock had specially selected a site for a new, more advanced laboratory under the city’s upgrade plan, Hammerfire and his team were still confined to the old laboratory at that stage since the new one had not yet been completed.

“No time, no time, no time.”

However, to Rocky’s surprise, when he found Hammerfire and expressed his desire to design a New Armor for the Beastmen, Hammerfire, standing on a stool and working at his bench, didn’t even look up. Instead, he impatiently waved him off, “Kid, didn’t you say you wanted the White Demon Armor completed quickly? I don’t have time for your pretend games; go play by yourself, and stop bothering me!”

After saying that, Hammerfire shooed Rocky out of the laboratory before he could even respond, leaving a bewildered Rocky behind.

Of course, no blame could be placed on Hammerfire. As he said, his focus was entirely on the White Demon Armor, and the first prototype of the new generation was almost completed. Once done, Hammerfire had countless tests to conduct, so he definitely had no time for other tasks now or anytime soon unless he shelved the White Demon Armor project.

Naturally, Rocky could not afford to delay Hammerfire’s work on the White Demon Armor, so he refrained from returning to the lab and instead brooded alone.

Even though Rocky was now capable of designing Armor himself, his real reason for consulting Hammerfire was to discuss Elemental rune technology.

In Rocky’s view, since he was designing a New Armor for the Beastmen, he couldn’t rely on old designs. This New Armor had to be Rune-driven and ideally incorporate Elemental rune technology, especially since this technology had already been successfully developed. The future of Armor was clearly heading in this direction, and Rocky didn’t want his new design to take any steps backward.

But since Elemental Technology was the most cutting-edge technology and Rocky did not have a complete grasp of it, he had come to seek Hammerfire’s assistance, which now seemed unlikely.

“What am I going to do…”
