Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 628 - 590 Each Harboring Ulterior Motives

Chapter 628: Chapter 590: Each Harboring Ulterior Motives Chapter 628: Chapter 590: Each Harboring Ulterior Motives “Mana Rune… it seems this is no longer a secret.”

With both hands on the round table, Farey looked around, “Rick and his people obviously plan to have a share from our hands…”

“This was expected. Mana rune technology is so important that once exposed, it will inevitably lead to everyone’s struggle for it.”

At that moment, another Elder spoke up, “And their purpose must be the same as ours, not just to get the rune itself, but also to directly obtain all the technology related to the rune.”

“Are you really sure that Rocky has it?”

As the Elder’s voice fell, another Elder spoke, “Can we now be sure that Rocky has mastered even more advanced technology?”

This question was raised, and all the Elders’ gazes fell on one person, and the Elder they were looking at hesitated slightly before speaking, “He should have mastered it.”

“Although we recently just discovered the existence of the mana rune, considering the time Aniye and others have been in contact with Rocky, it shows that he got the mana rune long ago, and during this process, Aniye and others must have already achieved very significant research results.”

When this Elder finished speaking, the entire meeting hall fell temporarily quiet.

Obviously, the situation Rocky was facing was far more dangerous than he had imagined, and even worse than Athena had anticipated, as not only the Sky Alliance, but also Rick and other six forces were now not only eyeing the technology that Rocky mastered, but these people also knew about the existence of the mana rune!

Actually, this was nothing to be surprised about, as could be heard from the conversing Elders; although they had only recently become aware of the existence of the mana rune, they had been paying attention to this issue for a long time. As the performance of the White Demon Armor on the battlefield became increasingly impressive, including the Sky Alliance, various forces had long been more aware of the importance of the technology that this armor carried.

Whether it was the Sky Alliance or other forces, they all had their own research teams, so as the performances of the White Demon Armor became more exaggerated, these people increasingly focused on the research of the White Demon Armor. Although they had not yet identified the existence of the rune, they had already determined how important the technology carried by the White Demon was.

Until recently, the Alliance finally learned the truth about the mana rune, and clearly, other forces also became aware of this truth at the same time, which provoked everything Rocky was facing.

“So this means… Rocky cannot be easily provoked, right?”

After a brief silence, an Elder with a very sharp gaze glanced at the others, the implication of his words clear, that is, why not use a tougher approach to take everything that Rocky had?

You must know, although Rocky possessed technology that everyone coveted, he was too weak by himself. In the eyes of the Sky Alliance, he was like a small bug. It was obvious that in the view of some Elders, instead of worrying so much, why not just take action and seize everything he had, wouldn’t that be simpler?

But as soon as he finished speaking, immediately an Elder shook his head and said, “We only know about the existence of the mana rune right now, and besides that, we know nothing. If we rashly make a move on Rocky, we might end up with very limited gains.”

“Exactly,” another Elder nodded, “Right now, Rick and his people think the same as us, they also don’t know how much Rocky has mastered, and they are afraid that once Rocky is pushed into a corner, he might opt for a mutually destructive tactic, and in the end, we might all end up with nothing. So unless we are absolutely certain, we shouldn’t rashly make a move on Rocky.”

“Hmph! As long as we get the rune, with the Alliance’s capability, aren’t we far better than Aniye and his people! Then we can also conduct research on the rune.”

Hearing these words, the Elder with a sharp gaze snorted coldly, appearing very dismissive. In his view, Rocky indeed might have mastered a lot of cutting-edge technology, so if they pushed him too far, he also genuinely had the capability to opt for a mutually destructive path, but so what?

As long as they could obtain the rune, then with the Alliance’s capability, they could still conduct research on the rune!

“Time.”

At this time, Farey spoke again, only to hear him slowly say, “We no longer have so much time to research from scratch. Demons won’t give us this time, nor will the Great Demons.”

“Great Demon…”

As Farey mentioned the word Great Demon, the faces of the Elders present all changed, and facing the various changing expressions of the Elders, Farey sighed deeply,

“The third counter-attack war is imminent, you should be clear, each counter-attack war is a major cleansing for the celestial configuration, and to maintain a dominant position, we must establish our advantage during war. I believe Rick and his people are thinking the same, so they have united to target Rocky. So the urgent matter is, what should we do next?”

……

……

Rocky was unaware of the Sky Alliance’s attitude, because he no longer hoped for help from the Alliance. He was very clear that to get through the current difficulties, he could only rely on himself.

But fortunately, ever since he became the City Lord, he had developed quite well, and this was not just in terms of his city’s development, but in other aspects as well.

For instance, facing this blockade, although the Ruby Chamber of Commerce had suffered heavy losses, with goods from twenty merchant ships hijacked by the City of Fury, the Chamber of Commerce had not cut off ties with Rocky. Instead, they actively discussed countermeasures and pondered together how to get through this difficult time.

This was of course due to the good cooperative relationship between Rocky and the Chamber of Commerce that had been maintained for a long time, and also because the Ruby Chamber of Commerce was not only Rocky’s biggest business partner, but Rocky was also the most important partner for them, so their interests had long been bound together, necessitating that they overcome the difficulties together.

In this situation, both parties soon thought of a solution, which was to use Sirius City to carry out the trade.

Although the City of Fury had blocked the airspace surrounding Backhill Village, their blockade was only against the two cities under Rocky’s rule, and they dared not block Sirius City, otherwise, it would mean directly provoking a conflict. In this situation, Rocky quickly contacted Howling Sky, hoping to use the merchant team of Sirius City for transportation to break through the enemy blockade.

Of course, such a thing naturally could not be done for free, as Rocky clarified to Howling Sky, as long as his merchant team could help transport goods from the Ruby Chamber of Commerce, he would pay ten thousand gold coins per trip, ten thousand gold coins for each merchant ship!
