Lord of the Sky City

Matu's face changed dramatically the moment he realized that Rocky had brought Thunderhawk City over!

In an instant, he figured out what Rocky was planning to do!

As the ultimate creation in this world, Sky City inherently possesses extremely formidable combat capabilities. In terms of defense, the city's Defensive Net is the most powerful of all types. Even a small Sky City's Defensive Net can withstand the furious bombardment of an entire Fleet, which can be seen from the confrontation between Matu and Rocky.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

So, besides the Defensive Net, does Sky City have offensive capabilities?

Indeed, it does!

Sky City's offensive means are limited to just one, but it's the one known as the ultimate method—the City-Destroyer Cannon!

Using Mana from the Super Crystal to form a Magic Energy Beam of tremendous power, it delivers a devastating blow to the target—that is the City-Destroyer Cannon, the world's ultimate attack!

Before the City-Destroyer Cannon, all defenses are useless. As the Cannon is powered by Mana from the Super Crystal, which is also Sky City's driving core, the Mana contained within cannot be measured in numbers or points, making the power of the City-Destroyer Cannon beyond measure. After all, obliterating half a Sky City with one shot isn't a problem.

While the power of the City-Destroyer Cannon is immense, its side effects are evident. Once used, the Super Crystal that drives Sky City will lose ninety percent of its Mana and must recharge. During this recharge period, Sky City must descend to the land, and only after the recharge is complete can it soar into the sky again.

This side effect greatly reduces the frequency at which the City-Destroyer Cannon can be used. The land is now occupied by Demons, and even a single person falling to the land would be attacked by Demons, let alone the result of an entire city landing there—it would inevitably be destroyed by Demons.

Hence, even though the City-Destroyer Cannon is without parallel in the world, no one dares to truly use it.

As a City Lord, Matu was certainly aware of the existence of the City-Destroyer Cannon, but he never imagined Rocky would use it against him. Circumstances that mandate the use of the City-Destroyer Cannon are usually when both parties are already grievously injured and ready for mutual destruction. He and Rocky were obviously not at that point.

But he had underestimated Rocky!

In Matu's vision, Thunderhawk City arrived and unfolded its Defensive Net, but soon the Mana of the Defensive Net began to gather upward, forming a gigantic Magic Energy Light Sphere above the city.

Seeing this, Matu truly panicked because this was a precursor to firing the City-Destroyer Cannon! Rocky really planned to use it against him!

"Mad... This Rocky is mad! What the hell does he want to do!"

Watching Thunderhawk City ready the City-Destroyer Cannon, Matu screamed hysterically like a woman, but he didn't feel that he was the one going mad—clearly, it was Rocky!

What was the magnitude of the issue between him and Rocky? Was it necessary to launch the City-Destroyer Cannon? Matu couldn't comprehend Rocky's extreme actions.

And just then, Rocky, who had been absent for a long time, appeared before him once again, accompanied by Liliya.

Just like before, he quickly flew close to the Defensive Net on his own.

"Rocky! Have you lost your mind? Do you know what you're doing!"

As he approached the Defensive Net, before he could speak, Matu screamed hysterically again, "Rocky! Do you want your Sky City to be destroyed by Demons!"

Matu didn't stop shouting, not out of anger, but because he was truly frightened, by the City-Destroyer Cannon and by Rocky's madness.

"Hand over a thousand people, or be annihilated by the Cannon!"

However, faced with his roar, Rocky didn't waste any words and directly issued the ultimate ultimatum!

"You!"

"You madman! Madman!"

Threat!

This was a blatant threat!

Matu wasn't foolish; he too could guess that Rocky was threatening him with the City-Destroyer Cannon, but what of it? Even if Rocky was merely using the City-Destroyer Cannon as a threat, as long as there was a one percent, no, a one-thousandth percent chance that Rocky might actually fire, Matu couldn't afford to gamble!

Matu had never personally witnessed the power of the City-Destroyer Cannon, but he had heard of it. For a small Sky City like his, a single blast from the City-Destroyer Cannon would be enough to shoot it down. So even if there was a slight chance that Rocky might fire, he dared not take the risk.

In such a situation, Matu, gritting his teeth, said, "Rocky, I don't want to get involved in your affair with Baron Wolin. I can hand him over to you for you to deal with..."

"He's worthless, I want people! A thousand people!"

Rocky, with an extremely tough refusal, cut off Matu before he could finish his sentence. He was no longer interested in his defeated subordinate, Baron Wolin; he was more interested in the population of Matu City!

"Fine, fine, fine! Rocky, I'll give you a thousand people!"

Seeing that Rocky was immovable, Matu ultimately gritted his teeth and bellowed at him:

"But you must get out of my sight immediately! Don't let Sky City follow me, and don't let the fleet harass me, otherwise, I'll fight you to the end, I also have a City-Destroyer Cannon!"

"No problem."

Matu's demands were naturally agreed to in one go by Rocky, because if he could get a thousand people, of course he would 'get lost' obediently, with no spare time to waste with Matu.

And after roaring at him, Matu directly led his fleet back to Sky City. Within about three to five hours, his dozen or so reconnaissance ships were loaded with people and flew out of the Defensive Net!

Thus, Rocky's fleet and Matu's fleet conducted a midair handover. After two consecutive handovers, Rocky returned to Thunderhawk City with a full load of people!

A thousand people!

Such a huge gain was something even Rocky hadn't anticipated, because he indeed was using the City-Destroyer Cannon to threaten Matu. He certainly would not actually fire, as even he couldn't bear the massive side effects of the City-Destroyer Cannon.

But such a threat was a sure win for him. If Matu didn't agree, the most he would lose was face, without any actual loss. But if Matu was intimidated by the threat, Rocky would gain greatly!

From the actual outcome, Rocky certainly gained hugely!

He not only won the war with Baron Wolin but also got a full thousand people from Matu, undoubtedly becoming the biggest winner in this series of confrontations.

By contrast, Baron Wolin and Matu, having participated in this great war, naturally became the losers.

But interestingly, in this whole series of confrontations, the most miserable wasn't Baron Wolin, who had directly engaged with Rocky, but rather Matu, who had come to help. He simply ran an errand for Baron Wolin and ended up losing a thousand people, suffering a disaster out of the blue, and even making one feel somewhat sorry for him...
