Lord of the Sky City

After all the close-range targets were blasted away, Rocky slowly emerged from the gun smoke in his Tank Type 1 Armor, but just at that moment, Monte, Lin Feng, and Sandro, clad in Void Magic Armor, suddenly leaped into the air and activated all weapons on their Armor!

This sudden development startled everyone, especially Lord Glan who had only recently arrived at Thunderhawk City. When he saw Monte and the others suddenly lashing out, his first thought was assassination!

In various Sky Cities, there had been incidents of generals or ministers suddenly attempting to assassinate the City Lord. The actions of Monte and the others bore a striking resemblance to such situations, which alarmed Glan immediately.

As his heart tensed up, Monte and the others had already unleashed a barrage of firepower on Rocky's Tank Type 1 Armor, with all sorts of long-range weapons raining down in an instant.

Facing this fusillade, Rocky rapidly retreated while expanding the Defensive Net of his Armor, seemingly trying to dodge the attack as much as possible.

However, the Void Magic Armor worn by Monte and the others was after all more agile than the Tank Type 1, and even as Rocky tried his best to evade their onslaught, they always managed to catch up to him.

Fortunately, he had timely expanded the Defensive Net, and the sturdiness of the Tank Type 1's Defensive Net was indeed astonishing. Despite the continuous attacks from the three Void Magic Warriors, the Net did not break, standing resolutely.

In this way, the assault by Monte and the others lasted for a few minutes before they finally ceased and slowly descended back into the ranks.

Only at this point did Lord Glan, who was initially surprised and anxious, realize that this was not an assassination but a test of the Armor's defensive capabilities. Upon this realization, he turned his gaze to the now stationary Tank Type 1 Armor.

From the initial movement exercises to the subsequent shooting and then the defense test that had just occurred, Glan had witnessed the entire debut of the Tank Type 1 Armor. It was precisely because of this that he was profoundly shocked, for everything the Tank Type 1 Armor showed was, just like its appearance, so different from traditional Armor that Glan didn't even know how to describe this Armor.

But one thing he did know was that this new type of Land Combat Armor already had the potential to render all other armors of its class obsolete!

Although Glan was not a Void Magic Warrior and lacked detailed knowledge about Void Magic Armor, even as a layman, he could see how outstanding the Tank Type 1 was. Its demonstrated mobility, firepower, and defensive power, among other qualities, had already surpassed the bulky but ineffective Land Combat Armors. Once this Armor was fully developed, it would certainly change the landscape of Land Combat Armor!

To be honest, Glan never expected to witness such a thing, because neither the Sky Alliance nor he himself believed that Rocky's success was largely due to luck, even somewhat undeserved.

Although under Rocky's governance Thunderhawk City had developed quite well, it was far from the top among small Sky Cities. There were many stronger small City Lords than him. His entrance into the Sky Alliance was purely a stroke of luck, entirely based on the new technologies developed by Aniye and others in his city, and nothing more.

This opinion had been shared by many since Rocky had joined the Sky Alliance, but now it seemed they were all wrong!

Consider this: could a City Lord who relied on luck really develop such a unique Armor through luck alone? The answer was obvious, definitely not!

So when Glan saw Rocky crawl out of the Tank Type 1 Armor, he couldn't help but narrow his profound eyes. He understood that he must reassess the City Lord of Thunderhawk City, not just him, perhaps even the Sky Alliance needed to recalibrate their view of Rocky!

Just as Glan was pondering these thoughts, he noticed Rocky walking over to him. His somewhat distracted gaze quickly refocused, and a smile spread across his face as well.

"Lord Glan, how do you feel about this New Armor?"

"It's breathtaking! Truly breathtaking!"

In the face of Rocky, Glan kept praising the myriad performances of the Tank Type 1 while asking a few key questions, both overtly and subtly.

For instance, whether the new armor was equipped with the latest technology developed by Aniye and others, what the cost of this armor was, and whether Rocky had any interest in sharing this New Armor with the Alliance.

One should know that although Rocky had joined the Alliance, it didn't mean that the Tank Type 1 Armor belonged to the Alliance. In fact, if Rocky did not wish to, then the Tank Type 1 Armor had nothing to do with the Sky Alliance, unless he was willing to share it with them.

Indeed, when Glan asked these questions, even he found it incredulous. Sharing technology or armor with the Alliance was extremely rare since new technologies and armors were not easy to come by, not like cabbages by the roadside.

Yet, with Rocky, such events seemed to become the norm. Less than a month earlier, he had joined the Alliance thanks to a breakthrough technology, and now he had developed a new type of armor. In his case, new technologies and armors appeared as common as cabbages by the roadside, seemingly effortless to obtain.

However, Rocky didn't answer any of his questions directly, as he hadn't yet decided on them. His priority was to take back the mines of Backhill Village. Other than that, he hadn't thought too much about anything else.

In this situation, after exchanging pleasantries with Rocky, Glan did not linger too long and quickly left, evidently eager to report the matter of the Tank Type 1 to the Alliance.

How he would report to the Alliance is a subject for another time, but speaking of Rocky alone,

After Glan left, Rocky began to arrange a series of tasks. First and foremost, according to the original plan, he had Hammerfire build another Tank Type 1 Armor. Before reaching Backhill Village, Rocky hoped to have at least two Tank Type 1 Armors in his possession to be able to present a formidable combat force; having just one would be too weak and vulnerable.

Next was the selection of new Void Magic Warriors. Although the Tank Type 1 Armor was different from traditional armors, it was still armor and required Void Magic Warriors to operate it, so this work had to be carried out as well.

Of course, Rocky didn't need to personally oversee this matter, as the Guard Corps had just recently selected a group of Void Magic Warriors. Thus, Liliya, Monte, and Lin Feng would naturally put together a suitable list of candidates. Rocky just needed to approve the selection.

Once all this was properly arranged, Rocky finally managed to get a few days' rest, but it was only a mere few days. After that short period, more issues, particularly those beyond his expectations, continuously came to him!
