LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 457: Chapter 421 Stay

The Imperial Army mobilized, and overnight the situation of the war changed, affecting everyone involved in this war.

Upon learning that the Imperial Army had already entered the battle zone and had soundly defeated the Alliance Army, Rocky and his group felt awkward.

They had planned to leave the battle zone, but unexpectedly encountered this situation. Now they were in a dilemma, unsure whether to go or stay.

What’s more, with the arrival of the Imperial Army, the pressure on the Alliance Army led by Wilton also surged suddenly. The pressure they faced now was obviously much greater than when facing the Rebel Army, to the point that they had no time to deal with them.

At the start of the war, though the Alliance’s Four Great War Zones were all at a disadvantage, the commanders of the zones knew that this disadvantage was just superficial. The Sky Alliance was conserving strength to deal with the real opponent and hadn’t deployed a large army, which gave the Rebel Army an opportunity. Otherwise, once the Alliance’s main forces were mobilized, they could easily wipe out the Rebel Army.

In fact, as the battle situation developed, this indeed seemed to be the case.

…

After receiving reinforcements from the Alliance Army, the Alliance forces in the Four Great War Zones quickly reversed their disadvantage and established a lead.

But now it was different; the opponent in the Four Great War Zones was no longer the cobbled-together Rebel Army, but the Kafka Empire, which the entire Sky Alliance had been guarding against all along. In other words, the true opponent of the Alliance had arrived!

And this opponent was clearly not easy to deal with.

Putting aside the other war zones and talking about the Tulip Battle Zone alone, it was the Imperial Army’s first appearance that dealt the Alliance Army a heavy blow. Two Sky Cities and thousands of warships were all wiped out in one battle.

Be aware that the Sky Cities and troops destroyed were not from peripheral members of the Alliance but were, in fact, core cities of the Alliance with the destroyed troops being regular Alliance forces. So even if there was a suspicion of a surprise attack in this battle by the Imperial Army, it was enough to prove the fighting capability of the Imperial Army.

Also, don’t forget that, in demonstrating their combat power, the military strength and number of troops of a top force like the Kafka Empire are also far beyond what the makeshift Rebel Army can compare to. Therefore, the appearance of the Imperial Army can be said to threaten the Sky Alliance from all sides.

In such a situation, Wilton immediately made substantial adjustments to the Alliance forces at the front and did not hesitate to prepare to rush to the frontline to take command in person!

In the same situation, Rocky and the others didn’t know what to do. Should they leave or stay?

Fortunately, just as the three of them were conflicted and unsure how to approach Wilton, Wilton took the initiative to send someone to find them.

“What? You want me to stay for now?”

Looking at the officer in front of him, Rocky was taken aback after hearing the other party’s words and his mouth hung open slightly, struggling to speak for quite some time.

The officer before him was one of Wilton’s aides, over fifty years old. Rocky had met with him a few times when he went to see Wilton.

According to this officer, Wilton had ordered that Karina and Berg immediately enter Nut God City Airspace, but Rocky was to stay behind.

That left Rocky feeling sullen. Why did he have to stay?

As for that question, the officer didn’t give him an answer but told him to go see Wilton in person, and he would naturally understand. So, Rocky followed the officer to Autumn Water City’s City Lord’s Mansion.

Since Wilton had made Autumn Water City the headquarters of the Alliance Army, the City Lord’s Mansion naturally became his place of work. When Rocky arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion, he was in the middle of a military meeting. Consequently, Rocky waited over half an hour in the mansion before finally meeting His Excellency the Holy Knight.

Upon meeting, Wilton dispensed with the pleasantries and went straight to the point, asking, “Rocky, what are your plans from here on out?”

“This…”

Faced with such a direct question, Rocky was stunned for a moment before honestly responding, “I plan to return to the Alliance-controlled airspace first, and come out again after the war is over.”

This was Rocky’s true thought. In his view, the great war had nothing to do with him anymore, especially now, facing the Imperial Army, whose strength was not inferior to that of the Alliance Army. What could he and Thunderhawk City possibly do? Of course, the only option was to hide in the Sky Alliance’s lair until the war ended, otherwise, what else could he do?

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wilton interjected:

“Rocky, the Alliance hopes that you will stay, I hope you will stay, and all the residents of the frontline Sky Cities also hope that you, the hero, will stay.”

His eyes sharp like an eagle’s, Wilton looked earnestly at Rocky, his tone sincere and leaving no room for refusal, he hoped that Rocky would not hide in the rear, but stay at the front and continue to fight!

Upon hearing this, Rocky just stood there dumbfounded. Wilton’s request had clearly taken him by surprise. He had never expected such a thing to happen, for the Alliance to actually ask him to stay and fight?

This, is this really what the Alliance wants?

It seemed to be, and from Wilton’s tone, it was not only the Alliance’s wish but also his own, as well as that of all the citizens of the frontline Sky Cities. It was as if everyone wanted him to stay in the battle zone and continue to fight.

But Rocky didn’t want to stay!

If he and Thunderhawk City continued to stay in the battle zone, wouldn’t that be a fate of both city and people perishing? To speak frankly, on such a level of battlefield, he and Thunderhawk City didn’t even qualify to handle transportation!

Therefore, Rocky was completely baffled as to why both the Alliance and Wilton would want him to stay.

If it was just the civilians of the frontline Sky Cities wanting him to continue fighting, that would be somewhat understandable, since in their eyes, he had already been established as a heroic figure. But didn’t Wilton and the Sky Alliance know the truth?

Rocky had become a hero, but that was only a result of their propaganda. In reality, Rocky was far from as great as stated in the propaganda, and certainly not as formidable.

“Rocky, you don’t need to worry, we’re not asking you and Thunderhawk City to stay together.”

As if sensing Rocky’s troubled expression, Wilton continued: “We just hope that you will stay.”

“Me? Just me as a person?”

“Exactly.”

Facing the wide-eyed Rocky, Wilton nodded.

Rocky’s thoughts were not wrong; in such a level of warfare, Thunderhawk City was useless. Even the Transport Alliance wouldn’t use Thunderhawk City because even for transportation tasks, Thunderhawk City was not suitable.

So neither Wilton, nor the Alliance, nor even the residents of the Sky City had any interest in Thunderhawk City. The one they truly hoped would stay and continue fighting was Rocky, and of course, his unique White Demon Armor!

That was what everyone wanted.
