Lord of the Sky City

After the battle, Rocky proved to everyone with his own performance that he was not only a City Lord but also a true warrior, and this proof finally earned him the recognition and respect of the Fierce Tiger Squad.

Such recognition brought about a noticeable change in the relationship between Rocky and the members of the squad, a subtle change that in plain terms meant that from that point on, the members of the Fierce Tiger Squad no longer saw him as an outsider but as one of their own, even though Rocky was still officially independent of the squad.

Of course, having won this key battle and performed so excellently in combat, Rocky naturally received a more tangible reward.

After the previous battle ended, Rocky was credited with the most significant military achievement of the entire fight, and according to Wilton, the military achievement he earned from this battle, if converted into Contribution Points, would amount to an immediate 10,000 points!

This conversion was not something Wilton decided on a whim but was arrived at after comprehensively considering the number of enemies Rocky killed in battle, as well as the various contributions he made to the entire fight.

So, after this battle, Rocky became somewhat of a small tycoon, because even for core members of the Alliance, it was extremely difficult to obtain 10,000 Contribution Points through normal channels. And with these points in hand, the things Rocky could exchange for naturally became much more varied, and more importantly, this was only his first battle officially as a warrior. If he continued to fight like this, there's no doubt his military achievements—and thus his contributions—would only increase!

When Rocky learned that the military achievement he obtained in this battle was equivalent to 10,000 Contribution Points, he couldn't help but feel a little excited and immediately began to ponder how he would use these points to develop Thunderhawk City after the war ended.

And thinking it over, Rocky realized that if things continued to develop at this pace, then by the end of this great war, the Contribution Points he earned... might just be enough to upgrade Thunderhawk City to a medium-sized Sky City!

After harassing the Rebel Army in the Tulip Battle Zone for more than a month alongside Karina and Berg, Rocky obtained countless spoils of war, including a population of 3,000. Although he later decided to cleanse these people and thus needed to deduct 1,000 for expenses, even so, the total population of Thunderhawk City had still reached over 5,000.

Therefore, after the great war ended, if Rocky could capture one or two small Sky Cities, then bringing the population of Thunderhawk City to over 10,000 would not be difficult. At that time, coupled with the Contribution Points he had earned, wouldn't Thunderhawk City be able to upgrade to a medium-sized Sky City?

At this thought, he suddenly felt that happiness had come so suddenly, as if Thunderhawk City could be upgraded without him even realizing it!

This possibility kept Rocky awake with excitement all night, as he pondered how he could upgrade Thunderhawk City as quickly as possible after the great war was over.

He could certainly think that way, but some things are beyond anyone's imagination, no matter how hard they think about it, like the ongoing war of the ages.

Judging by the current momentum, the Kafka Empire seems determined to erase the Sky Alliance from the sky, as its vast war machine has begun operating relentlessly, continuously sending reinforcements to the Four Great War Zones.

On the other hand, the Sky Alliance is doing the same. After the Kafka Empire finally made its move, the Sky Alliance has also shown its strength. Core Sky Cities and elite Alliance Armies are pouring into the Four Great War Zones like a steady stream, clearly not intending to give the enemy the slightest chance to succeed.

As such, with both of the top forces in the sky exerting all their effort, the war was bound to evolve into a protracted and extensive battle.

In fact, the development of the war did indeed move towards a war of attrition. Take the Tulip Battle Zone for instance; after securing a splendid victory, the Alliance Army led by Wilton gained a significant boost in morale. However, in other aspects, they made little progress.

After the battle, the Imperial Army lost more than two thousand warships, but within a week, the Kafka Empire had replenished the warzone with twenty thousand warships as reinforcements. The Sky Alliance did the same, continuously dispatching large troops into the warzone. As a result, while the scale of the conflict and the casualties kept growing, the progress was pitifully small.

In such circumstances, the war was nowhere near ending in one or two years. Even if it went on for four or five years, that would be considered quite normal.

However, just when everyone thought the war would develop in such a direction, an accident turned the war towards an unexpected situation.

This war, which was supposed to last for an extended period, actually came to an abrupt halt in a way that no one had anticipated!

It had long been said that as soon as the Sky Alliance and Rebel Army went to war, the entire sky was on edge, and the smell of gunpowder spread not only on the battlefield but throughout the entire sky. Those forces and City Lords who had not joined the war but were eager to act became sensitive to the situation, making the atmosphere in the sky incredibly tense.

This tense atmosphere reached its peak after the Kafka Empire made its move, and it completely ignited the powder keg.

Following the Kafka Empire's actions, other regions in the sky also experienced wars of varying scales. These wars were unrelated to the major conflict between the two great forces and erupted solely because some saw an opportunity to eliminate their opponents, expand their territories, and profit from the warfare.

Consequently, the originally azure sky plunged into the chaos of war.

This chaos was undoubtedly fatal for every Sky City, especially for the smaller ones.

To avoid the turmoil and other Sky Cities taking advantage of the conflict between the two alliances to cause trouble, many small Sky Cities were forced to leave their usual territories. Some City Lords, having no other choice, even took refuge near the Forbidden Zones.

As is well known, the Forbidden Zones are extremely dangerous. Even without delving deep into them but merely lingering around, it is a risky act for small Sky Cities. However, to avoid the war, many had no choice but to seek shelter near these zones to avoid becoming targets.

Wanguai, Spring Rain, Thunder, Matthias, and Choque, these five small Sky Cities did just that. In order to escape the chaos of war, they had to form a temporary alliance and take refuge near a Forbidden Zone together.

And nobody could have imagined that everything happening across the sky would undergo a drastic change due to this action taken by these five small Sky Cities!
