Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 627 - 589 Terrifying Energy

Chapter 627: Chapter 589: Terrifying Energy Chapter 627: Chapter 589: Terrifying Energy Athena had long said that the goal of City of Fury wasn’t to annihilate Rocky, but had another purpose, and now Rocky finally knew the opponent’s plan—he intended to blockade Thunderhawk City and trap him alive!

This could not help but worry him, firstly because the two Sky Cities under his command needed external supplies to sustain their livelihood, and secondly, once the contact between the two Sky Cities and the outside world was blocked, the industries of the two Sky Cities would also suffer a devastating blow!

The main industries in Thunderhawk City were exports; both the textile and leather manufacturing sectors relied on selling their products for profit, not to mention the arsenal that had just started and needed to buy large quantities of raw materials from the outside world to produce.

The same was true for Carltos City, and although many industries within Carltos City were closed during the reorganization, there were still hundreds left. Once the outside world was blocked, these industries would essentially be paralyzed—an impact far too great for the entire city, especially since Carltos City under Voss’s rule had just started to improve. The city had just begun to gain some confidence in Rocky’s notifications, and any chaos at this time would render all of Voss’s efforts futile!

In this situation, Rocky did more than frown; upon learning of City of Fury’s blockade against him, he was virtually incensed.

Clearly, the opponent was forcing him, using nearly overwhelming methods to coerce him, and such aggressive methods were even more uncomfortable than a direct attack. More importantly, this approach also conveyed another message—a signal that told Rocky how immense their energy was!

Rocky was no longer a minor character now, and the number of people dealing with him was increasing, not to mention the Sky Alliance. Even if his relationship with the Alliance grown increasingly subtle, the Alliance was not just for show. Therefore, blocking his contact with the outside world was not an easy task, nor could it be accomplished just by sending a few warships; the implications were very complicated.

Yet even so, the opponent still dared to act this way and it wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a premeditated plan, which was enough to explain a lot of things.

So, the next question fell squarely on Rocky’s shoulders. What should he do?

Standing still was absolutely not an option; both cities needed external supplies to survive. In this situation, Rocky couldn’t last a day without immediately responding.

So he quickly looked towards Athena.

Unlike the frantic Rocky, Athena remained calm. She had foreseen long ago that the opponent would have a backup plan, though strictly speaking, she had not expected City of Fury to blockade Rocky. But now that the opponent had made a move, that made things much easier.

So, in response to Rocky’s look, she immediately said, “My lord, do not worry, there’s still the Sky Alliance.”

“The Alliance?”

“Yes, the true intention behind their blockade is to pressure the Sky Alliance, so my lord does not need to worry.”

“What do you mean?”

Upon hearing this, Rocky’s face revealed surprise and confusion, clearly struggling to keep up, completely failing to grasp Athena’s meaning.

Seeing this, Athena smiled and began to explain, “My lord, I can say with certainty that the forces targeting you do not include the Sky Alliance, and this blockade is actually aimed at the Sky Alliance.”

“Really? Why?”

Athena’s explanation first eased Rocky’s mind, because his biggest worry had been that the Sky Alliance was among those targeting him, which would have truly placed him in a dire situation, leaving no room for struggle. However, it seemed things hadn’t reached the worst-case scenario yet.

However, the latter part of Athena’s statement completely baffled him, which made him even more confused, so he couldn’t help but ask further.

“Because in their eyes, we and the Alliance are one, and they are well aware that what they want is precisely what the Alliance desires as well. Thus, without putting some pressure on the Alliance, it is unlikely that the Sky Alliance will let this matter slide.”

“This, this… How is this possible? Athena, are you sure this is the case?”

“Certain.”

“My heavens…”

As he watched Athena nod confidently at him, Rocky sharply inhaled.

He found it hard to imagine that someone in the world still dared to blatantly challenge the Sky Alliance after the recent great battle. Moreover, if they dared to challenge the Sky Alliance…

How immense must these people’s energy be?

What kind of existence was he exactly up against?!

Inhaling sharply, Rocky looked at Athena with furrowed brows, only to find her as assured as ever.

Indeed, she soon spoke, “My lord, let’s not worry about the Alliance. If I am not mistaken, the Elders’ Council must now be troubled by this matter. I also hope that my lord shouldn’t hold too much hope for the Alliance, for to such a colossal entity as the Sky Alliance, there are no true friends, only eternal interests. The Alliance might have allowed us to join for the technology in my lord’s hands but can just as well expel us for a greater benefit. So, our immediate priority should focus on two points…”

As she spoke, she looked at Rocky and then thoroughly explained her thoughts to him.

After listening to Athena’s words, Rocky stroked his chin, pondering for a long while, before finally turning his head to look at Liliya beside him.

Seeing Rocky turn to her, Liliya nodded at him, and then Rocky, as if resolved, told Athena, “Alright, let’s do as you suggested.”

……

……

While Rocky was devising ways to handle the blockade from City of Fury, exactly as Athena had imagined, in Nut God City, the Elder Council of Eleven was holding a meeting, and the issue under discussion was precisely the problem Rocky faced!

“They are forcing the Alliance to make a choice, whether to stand with them or to preserve Rocky and be their enemy.”

At that moment in the meeting hall, all eleven elders were present, and one of them, after saying this, lightly tapped the tabletop with his fingers: “What should we do?”

As this elder tapped his fingers and looked around at the others, Elder Farey spoke up:

“It seems they have already realized everything that Rocky controls, the Mana Rune…”
